While I agree that not killing clear enemies is too friendly (even for good guys), Sasuke was never a devil, though. It seems like his aim is to defeat Itachi without becoming Itachi v2. And what's wrong about getting a team? Even Akatsuki travel in pairs, and they are hardly any wandering saints. There's simply power in numbers, especially if the skills and attributes are varied. Beyond that he didn't seem especially buddying to me. He didn't even tell the water jutsu guy anything at all, didn't bother to give any kind of answer to most of the dude's questions.

Well, whatever, it was very refreshing to see somebody serious like Sasuke after all the Naruto idiocy we have been through lately.
