I have been thinking about recent chapters and a thought occured to me... What if Naruto vs Sauske part 2 doesn't have a conclusion?
As the chapters have progressed, I have thought more about the final battle. Naturally, my thoughts wondered over to DBZ land for a base reference. Knowing that this manga influenced Kishimoto, I began to wonder, could Naruto and Sauske end up like Goku and Vegita?
Goku and Vegita were facing off in what was to be their final battle, with Vegita determined to give up his bonds with Bulma and Trunks to achieve power and finally defeat his rival. However, they were evenly matched (because Goku was holding back) and realizing his zeal for battle has unleashed an even greater foe, Vegita tricks Goku and goes to face Buu alone. In the end, forced to face the common overwhelming enemy of Majin Buu, Goku and Vegita worked togeter to defeat him. Vegita made the slow progression from villian at the beginning of the series to anti-hero at the end. He also finally acknowledges that Goku is the strongest.
So the question is, with things where they stand, could the same scenario happen with Naruto and Sauske?
This is only possible if something happens to break up the current Tobi vs Naruto confrontation and Naruto and Sauske fight in another location.
I could definitely see a Naruto/Sauske confrontation in which Naruto holds back on offense, minimizing his use of Kurama to make the playing field even to shoulder Sauske's hate. After Sauske goes all out and with his recent interaction with his brother, Sauske finally has an epiphany moment and comes to his senses. Then, to atone for his sins, he leaves Naruto goes to face Tobi alone. Naruto catches up and the two work together utilizing the teamwork that they exhibited in the Zabuza arc. Naruto finally solidifies whatever the connection is to the 6 paths and Sauske is forced to acknowledge that Naruto is stronger because of love and the desire to protect those he cares for.
What do you think?
