Sasuke definitely won't die simply because that wouldn't be in line with the manga's message of mutual understanding through effort and dedication.

Sasuke's death would mean that people can't understand each other and that when two people have opposite views one of them must die.

Naruto and Sasuke are like two sides of the same coins: Both suffered greatly during their life, nonetheless they grow up in different ways: Naruto is full of life and has dreams about the future; Sasuke is gloomy and stuck on his past tragedy that he's never overcome. The first manages to move forward thanks to everyone's moral support while the second don't. As a consequence they reach different conclusions: Naruto believes people can do anything by working together while Sasuke believes just in himself and his judgment. That's why they fight at the end of the manga.

The point is not who is right among them; the point is that both want a brighter future for the world. if one of them killed the other that'd mean the other totally rejected him and his ideals; and peace can't be build on such an act. Sasuke and Naruto will acknowledge each other and their own limits unlike Hashirama and Madara.

We just have to see how that will happen.
