Description
A few words on why I believe Sasuke deserves redemption and a chance."On one hand Sasuke cares about Itachi's wishes but on the other, found it sick and unfair. "Oh yeah let me go and protect the village that decided to slaughter an entire clan simply because they had rebellious ideals, which stemmed from the fact that they were being discriminated against due to Madara messing everything up". Making Itachi kill his entire clan, bringing him to emotional stress. Then had his little brother kill his big brother under false pretences, after having lived his whole life mind screwed by this whole matter. If not anything else Sasuke deserves an apology from Konoha. I'm glad Naruto said "I understand why you're doing all this" because it's true. They SHOULD understand.
The real criminals here are the Konoha council because they exterminated an entire clan when it could have been handled in a more humane manner. It's their selfishness and cowardice that created Sasuke to what he is today.
Of course the one responsible from the get go is Madara who told Sasuke the truth, summoned the 9 tails to destroy the village which made the village become discriminant with the Uchiha in the first place.
Sasuke's final battle with Naruto would be like a repeat of history but altered. Madara and Hashirama fought against each other but they were always enemies. Naruto and Sasuke have a history of being best friends/brothers. Moreover throughout the series the motif of new generation surpassing the old had been indicated countless times. When they fight, there should be a totally different outcome. What happened with Madara won't happen with Sasuke. When Naruto fights Sasuke, something good is going to happen. Sasuke and Naruto is going to bring the Senju and the Uchiha back together and not just save Konoha, but save Sasuke and the Uchiha. Killing Sasuke would be like killing half of the Sage of the six paths, he wants both brothers to live in harmony. That, is true peace that Naruto was entrusted to accomplish .
Edit: Just to clear things out, the truth about the Uchiha massacre, segregation (and maybe other Root's dirty moves) shall be revealed sooner or later. If Sasuke is no longer a threat , then I don't see any problem for the villagers to sympathize with him.
You can't but admit things wouldn't be this awful had the Konoha council tried to reach deal with Uchiha. What about freeing them of segregation, give them a position in Konoha policy (with should have been theirs naturally since they're one of village founders). But no, they instead chose to manipulate a patriotic Uchiha member into annihilating hundreds of people, not showing mercy even to children and helpless women. What threat would have the 2 old crackers sellers been to Konoha?! How would you feel if someone ordered a hit on your people, then have the audacity to perform the practically sacrilegious act of violating their bodies and taking their powers for himself? And when he appeared in front of Sasuke, all he has to say is "I'm taking your eyes!". From the point of view of Sasuke, an avenger with the utmost love for his clan,that is one hell of a slap in the face.
The Uchiha did not want a war, but a change in Konoha's abysmal policy system. Only the higher up would have been affected. The possibility of a war happening was bound to exist thanks to that rotten regime, since Konoha exterminating the Uchiha is like cutting off its own wing. Weren't the best? Let's face it, Danzo's decision wasn't to protect the village at all, but to ensure his position and satisfy his hurt ego from being rejected off the Hokage post. And even if it was, do you think it's RIGHT to KILL a certain group of people because they were POSSIBLY a threat to the others? What about killing all HIV infected? Millions of lives would be saved... What is more the same people you kill are those who's been fighting to protect you and your safety, freaking co-founders of your village...
Concerning Itachi's doing, the situations are kinda different Itachi was awesome, don't get me wrong. His fail lies in the way he set Sasuke on the road to power. Itachi, although he was trying to "help" Sasuke, screwed his mind up in more ways than we can imagine. He pushed Sasuke into going down the path of hatred, and reinforced it when they met again on the Tsunade retrieval arc. Sasuke going the way he's going is not really a surprise- as cliche as it sounds, becasue of Itachi's actions, he "killed" his heart and now doesn't know how to do anything but hate. Itachi's a patriot, not a hero. Is it the best we can do, buying one side's safety with the other side's eradication?
I never said anything about Konoha nins should "welcome him as an old friend when he starts attacking there village". You might have misinterpreted my previous post... All I was trying to say is that once Sasuke's redeemed, acceptance should be what awaits him.
True peace lies in understanding and forgiving each other. Only caring about your own well-being, wanting someone dead without trying to understand his position is what makes the ninja world a rotten place. And THAT, is exactly what Naruto's going to change, following Jiraiya's legacy and bring true peace to the world."
The drawing itself is my early tribute to Sasuke's upcoming birthday (23rd July). That broken butterfly represents a fragile human soul, tattered by rain. Interpretation is up to you though..

Not only is your artwork breathtaking but even your words
I'm glad to know there are still some people who believe he deserves redemption, and that he's not all that bad
Sasuke was and still is my favorite character in the Naruto series ^^

I love that style (:
It's much smoother and doesn't make the image look so ...serious (Gosh. My english simply fails.)
Anyway, I agree with what you wrote above ...mostly.
But what would you do as a Konoha-Nin if you don't know the truth about Itachi? See Sasuke as a betrayer I guess...
And of course the village is selfish. All villages are. They want to protect themselves and don't start a war. Danzos methods weren't the best, that's clear. But what if it came the other way and the Uchiha started a war against Konoha? More pain, more hate. Also not the best solution. And that's why Itachis decision was so brilliant... If Madara hadn't told Sasuke the truth, everything would've been alright and Sasuke could've turned back to Konoha.
As a reader of the Manga it's okay to understand Sasuke, but as a Ninja in the Shinobi-world... No. I think I'd hate him. And even if I don't... Sasuke wouldn't care, would he?
He has a tragic fate and I really don't know what i would do if I were him... But you can't tell that the Konoha-Nins should ignore all his mistakes and welcome him as an old friend when he starts attacking there village :/
But lets face it: Sasuke won't die in the next time. His battle against Naruto's going to be the last. And then they die both. Or live both. We can't tell now (:
