you say it isn't justifiable but then you go and totally justify it. it is an eye for an eye just as you said.

It might not be fair on those innocent people simply living their lives, but that's the fate the elders carved out for them with their act of genocide. To think they would get away with such a crime is what is irrational. Sasuke is entirely the consequence to their deeds.

sasuke being left alive was also an act of the elders' kindness so it's a bit complicated. why would it be irrational to think they would get away with it? it's much less likely for the one kid they left alive to have grown up to be strong enough to take the elders on.
