Replying to the thread's question... No, he will not do. There're a lot mangas where the main character dies, but I don't hink Naruto is geared in that direction.

Complaining in every single post doesn't sound very "accepting" to me.
Indeed. It reminds me of the last year:
- Uchiha arc goes on
Fans complain about Sasuke and state they are fed up with him.
-Next arc begins (Naruto's training, Pain's invasion...)
Fans spend the whole time asking and wondering what has happened to Sasuke, where he has gone, what he will do now and if Kishimoto has forgotten about him...
-Next arc begins (it isn't about Sasuke, but he plays an important role and starres a good fight)
Fans complain about Sasuke and state they are fed up with him.

Naruto's arc will revolve around Sasuke, and him crying over Sasuke. So, not alot to look forward to with that. Sasuke has officially taken over the manga. The title will probably be changed in a couple weeks.
No, what you'll see is Naruto fighting for trying saving his best from the darkness and defeating his oldest rival.
Naruto was, is and will always be the main character. Sasuke has taken over nothing, and even if I know you were joking, you can bet anything on the title not changing.
That hypotetical Naruto arc won't revolve around Sasuke but around Naruto. Even if he spends plenty time thinking over Sasuke, or crying over him or reacting to anything Sasuke did... It'll still be about Naruto, his motivations, his hopes and his fights.
Using your "If Sasuke has a big role in one or several arcs or Naruto is crying over Sasuke the series revolves around Sasuke" logic, the series revolves around Sakura, because she has got a big role in several arcs, Naruto is always thinking about her, he's constantly asking her dates, he cries over her since he thinks she loves another, he intends spending time with her, she motivates him to do things, and he's chasing Sasuke partially because her.
Using your logic,
Touch is about Kazuya and Minami, since Tatsuya (the main character) is always remembering his deceased brother, constantly depressing over his memory and his abruptly-stopped rivalry, and his biggest and only motivation for two thirds of the series is fullfilling his brother's dream Minami's one.
Not matter what, I respect your opinion but I can't agree at all. I have several troubles with Sasuke, but the attention he gets isn't one of them.
Rivals and love interests are always very important in shonen and shojo manga. Usually they have a big role in the story or appears frequently, and they are very important to the main character, often driving his/her actions and thoughts.
If any manga -including shojo- where the main character is constantly thinking of another person, crying over him/her and/or being driven by him/her, should have its title changed to the name of the rival or love interest of the main character, we should get changed the titles of almost all Japanese comic-books aimed to teenagers.
Gee, I guess we should have DragonBall Z title's changed to "The Freezer/Cell/Buu Saga".
(Yes, the last sentence was a joke
).
