Sasuke is written inconsistently in Shippuden and has done some illogical stuff. I have 2 arguments to present. Please be aware that this just my opinion and I'm NOT going to debate with anyone. Also, I don't hate Sasuke. In fact he is in my top 10 Naruto characters.

A Thread~
Sasuke's character writing has been very consistent until Itachi's death. He started as an avenger. Sasuke witnessed his parents and clan's murder at young age. He lived his life with one single purpose and it was to kill Itachi. I am not going to be going over (1/11)
everything. This isn't his entire character analysis. So let me get straight to the point. My first major problem with Sasuke's character writing is after Itachi's death. After Itachi Uchiha's death, Sasuke learns the truth (not the entire though) about Itachi. He learns (2/12)
that Itachi was never evil. Additionally, Obito revealed the real culprits behind the Uchiha clan's massacre. Digesting such information caused Sasuke to hyperventilate. This was expected. However, here is where the problem begins. (3/11)
Instead of seeing through his beloved brother's wishes, he chose to DESTROY the very thing that his brother had sacrificed himself for. He was ignorant of the full truth (it was literally coming from someone who he never knew) and didn't take long before he made his (4/11)
decision. It was explained by Obito that Itachi killed everyone but couldn't bring himself to kill his little brother. Not to even mention the fact that Itachi implanted Amaterasu in Sasuke to protect him from "Madara" brainwashing him. Sasuke could STILL not see it. (5/11)
Now, Sasuke did act out of emotion (which is understandable since he loved his brother and clan so much). Despite the fact that he didn't understand Itachi's will, he not only chose to kill the Hokage's advisors but destroy the ENTIRE village and kill innocents. (6/11)
Here is my second argument. During the war, Sasuke had a conversation with Hashirama Senju. We can see some character development here. Sasuke isn't self-centred. After learning the entire truth from Itachi himself and listening to Hashirama's explanation of a village and (7/11)
it's system; he showed that he understood both perspectives and made a rational decision. He wanted to become Hokage to change the system that he hated and caused his brother so much pain. Now, after the war ends, Sasuke all of a sudden becomes a villain. (8/11)
He ignores everything that Itachi did and wished for, the Hokage's explanation that he seemingly understood. He wanted to revolutionize the ninja world by eliminating all Kage's and becoming evil itself. There is absolutely nothing that transpired between his conversation (9/11)
with the Hokage's and their battle vs Kaguya. It makes his reasoning to go up against Naruto absolute BS in my opinion. Let's be honest, it was forced so we can get the Naruto vs Sasuke epic battle. Another reason why I think Naruto vs Sasuke part 1 > final fight but (10/11)
that's beside the point. I had to get this off my chest and hopefully you understand where I am coming from. You don't have to agree with me but if you liked anything I said, let me know. Thanks for reading this thread! ❤️
