He betrayed the village. Period. He became a criminal once he decided to leave the village and join one of their worst enemies.

2. He did attempt to murder Naruto. But when it really mattered he did not finish Naruto off, he had a shred of good in him. This must be brought up so as not to continuously bash Sasuke.
Do you remember that no one knew Naruto was the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki? Therefore, he tried with all his might to kill him when he impaled him with Chidori.

Lets say someone tries to kill you. They hurt you. A lot. And at the end they decide not to kill you. Oh well, what does it matter? You are alive! Let that person go free! He didn't kill you so it doesn't matter!

3. When you obey mindlessly what your teacher orders you, you do all kind of bad things and good ones. But his goal of becoming powerful, he pretty much only did the lesser evil of all things. Remember the field of ninjas? and Orochimaru commenting that he is not killing all those people whom he defeated.
Sasuke may have decided to not kill in order to not do what his brother said. Correct. But he still was following a wanted criminal. Willingly.

4. Couldnt have caused a war against Konoha, Konoha cooperated immediately by providing information on Akatsuki. The lightning village was more or less begging Konoha for information, while Konoha being ravaged by Akatsuki itself was more then willing to cooperate.
The was wasn't caused because Konoha said Sasuke was a missing nin. If they hadn't, they would have declared war.

5. Once again, Sasuke even though has the Sharingan, has not prove to be entirely great at preventing himself from being manipulated by old timer. It is a bad decision to just believe in what Tobi tells him.
And yet he joins another wanted criminal. Oh yeah. He's innocent.

6. Wow, where did he announce that he wants to destroy the entire Konoha, that is way too strong, because I dont think he would want to kill the Ramen vendor. Please correct your believe.
Sasuke: I will crush Konoha.

From the point of view of the Kage summit, yes a hunt on anyone of the Akatsuki member would be valid. Do not just focus on Sasuke. That would be prudent.

From the point of view of the individual villages, they might want to hunt specific Akatsuki members, or harbor them based on "emotional" events as I have listed above. Only certain subset of members in the village would feel that way.

I take offense that you have went and insulted my idea as retarded. As I had written, it is a theory, a possible plot that Danzo was using Sasuke as a spy to kill Orochimaru and or now Akatsuki. If you have your mind closed, and unable to read beneath the line, that is where you fail. This is a ninja manga for fuck sake, dont just take everything for granted and like its the unbreakable rule.
Who said they should just hunt Sasuke? We mentioned Sasuke is a criminal. he ain't a cute little innocent bunny.

Sasuke NEVER would have worked for someone else while he still hunted Itachi. He was always thinking of himself. None of Danzos promises could have made him agree to spy for him. He only cared about killing Itachi.


Sasuke may have done good to Konoha, unwillingly, but the fact remains. He betrayed them. He intends to destroy them.


Itachi was labeled a missing-nin as a scapegoat. They could not publish the fact they ordered a full clan to be slaughtered. It doesn't mean its right. But its how they work on that world.


You may find that your leader is the worst criminal (Mizukage Madara). But he is still your leader. If you defect the village you are a criminal. At least for your village.

Missing nin equals criminal in this world.

Tsunade and Jiraiya left Konoha? True. Under permission. They never fled against orders nor they tried to kill a fellow Konoha nin.


Now let the troll end.
