Thats not putting it in perspecitve : /

What Sasuke really wanted was to persue those truly responsible for the massacre. It happened to be that Itachi was also a victim in this ordeal, so while Sasuke's target may have changed, his overall quest for revenge has not. Revenge is probably the only thing Sasuke has not faltered on. He only breifly came close duirng his time in Konoha while befriending team 7; but Itachi "strenghened" Sasuke's resolve during his visit.

This is utter BS. Naruto was ready to give up his ideals and gave into hatred during the Pein fight, before Minato saved him. It seems the same thing has happened here, after Naruto experiences a deep loss of a friend or loved one. Luckily there has always been someone nearby to save him from giving in. In Sasuke's case, he was essentially pushed over the edge.

Naruto himself even acknowledges that he could have easily ended up in Sasuke's shoes, had certain circumstances been different. But I guess some Naruto fans wont let little things like common sense, the authors messages, or facts get in the way of their argument. It never ceases to amaze me how people allow their bias to blind them from even the most blatant things in the manga : /
