Hello, and welcome to another one of my Naruto discussions! Today, I will talk about the inevitable fight that will happen between Naruto and Sasuke, all of the possible outcomes, and related topics pertaining to the characters.
First, let us talk about the characters. This whole series has been about the growth of these two; when one grows, the other does as well. Even though They also appear to gain respective power-ups along the way. When Sasuke had the Curse Mark, Naruto would let the Fox take over him. When Sasuke obtained the Mangekyou Sharingan, Naruto learned how to achieve the perfect Sage Mode. After Naruto obtained the Fox Chakra Mode, Sasuke got the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. Now, Naruto has gained complete control of the Fox and has achieved the full Tailed Beast Mode, so it only makes sense for Sasuke to also get one final power-up, quite possibly the Rinnegan, or maybe, even Dragon Sage Mode. Who knows, he might even get the legs for his perfect Susanoo, but then again, maybe it requires the Rinnegan.
As characters, they have many parallels. Naruto grew up as a prankster at first, wanting acknowledgement from the rest of the villagers. Sasuke, on the other hand, was born into the famous Uchiha clan, and he was very popular with his whole stoic mood. They were like water and oil, having trouble mixing together, and yet, they were destined to be placed into the same team, leading to Naruto's first real bond with someone his age. However, after a certain incident, their bond became weaker and weaker until it finally just severed. Naruto has since been trying to rebuild the bond while Sasuke keeps drifting further and further from it. As time passed, Naruto went on to become an acknowledged hero, who believes in keeping the peace, while Sasuke became a criminal, fixed on the path of revenge. When you look at them from the beginning, and when you look at them now, they still retain many of the characteristics that they always had, but at the same time, they're so different.
Now let's talk about their upcoming battle. We know that they're going to battle either during the war, or after. The question is: will Sasuke be the last antagonist? Me, personally, I just don't see it. So far, everything that Sasuke has done and accomplished has not really caused an impact to the main story with Naruto, even though he has been getting just as much screen time as Naruto. If Sasuke turns out to be the boss of the endgame, it will feel sooo anticlimactic when the major villains have already been defeated. Hopefully, Tobi has some plans for Sasuke, so that Sasuke will have more of a connection to the main plot. If that happens, Naruto would also fight Sasuke before a final brawl with Tobi, because, well... let's face it: the battle going on right now between Tobi and Naruto with allies is definitely not going to be Tobi's last fight; so much more has to happen.
We can't really say how this battle is going to play out, but we can attempt to predict the outcomes, and I have many predictions. One of these possibilities is that Sasuke might die. I don't see Naruto killing Sasuke obviously, but he might do it accidentally Sasuke might decide that he's wrong and just kill himself as redemption. If Sasuke dies, then everything that Naruto has been working so hard for will have been for nothing. Although it's sort of realistic, I just don't think that's the best way to end their destiny together.
Then there's the possibility that Naruto dies. I'm not kidding. Now, I know that this series is called Naruto so you wouldn't think that the title character would die, right? But that would be a pretty cool and sad twist. Of course, if he dies, then the series shouldn't be called Naruto, or so you would think. However, it could then be about Naruto's legacy and what he left for everyone that he cared about. Then again, it kind of defeats the purpose of Naruto's dream to be Hokage, but I have a theory that could justify that, which I will explain in another discussion. Sasuke and Naruto could both die, but that's just everything I've already explained above.
Another possibility is that neither of them will die, but one of them will win. I can honestly see either one of them winning, but it will definitely require Sasuke to lose his ideals. If Sasuke wins, he will see that he was wrong, but his pride will prevent him from going to Naruto's side, but he'll decide not to kill him.
However, in my eyes, the most likely conclusion to the fight will be Naruto's victory. Naruto will probably bring Sasuke to the good side; however, it should not be done in a contrived way. Naruto must be able to give Sasuke an answer as to why revenge is not the right way; Naruto already knows what it feels like to want vengeance, so in a way, he knows how Sasuke feels. Naruto was confronted by Pain with a question about breaking the cycle of revenge and bringing peace, but Naruto could not give him a legitimate answer. He said that he would try to find the answer, but he has not done so yet. Even when asked by Tobi currently, he still couldn't answer him. Naruto must find the answer so that he can legitimately bring Sasuke to his senses.
Expect to see another Rasengan-Chidori clash again. Maybe some fist bumps too. That's all I have to say about this fight. Bye guys. Expect another discussion soon!
