I see your point True. Sasuke will probably even help against a obviously on-coming fight against Naruto and Madara. Btw, anyone have any idea what that little convo between naruto and Itachi was about? It might have had something to do with it. Wish manga would hurry up and translate itself so I could continue the freaking story and find out.
I'm sure my opinions have been stated in others words but I just can't see Sasuke returning and everything be back to normal. I mean, 'how'? Naruto: Sasuke, I'm taking you back to the village! Sasuke: Whatever dobe! 'Then a fight' Naruto carries a beaten Sasuke back to Konaha? Or maybe Kakashi? Then everyone's happy, and Sasuke, not wanting to be there runs away again...
The only outcome for him that I can come to is him dying to protect Naruto against something. Perhaps against Madara?
Honestly I'd prefer to see him die. It's not that I don't like him, I'm just not fond of the idea of him... not dieing.
