If you think anyone used insults to make a point here, then quite frankly, that's a YOU problem. There's nothing about Sasuke's ideals that's MORE realistic than Naruto's in the sense of what's transpired in the manga & that's what I'll continue to argue if I feel like it. That's where I'm basing my points, because I'm not gonna waste my energy comparing real world sensibilities to a Shonen manga. If that floats your boat, then go right ahead. Still, my point stands as it's been backed by the manga facts. Sasuke wanted dictatorship from the shadows, just as Madara similarly wanted way back when as a Konoha-nin and you know what happened after that. Naruto's taking Hashirama's past desires a step further, and based on how quickly Hashirama achieved peace for a while, I'd think Naruto's way has a much higher probability for success. You're forgiven for wanting something different, but as you so eloquently stated, it's a Shonen manga so the end result shouldn't surprise you, nor should it bother you. Ah well, it is what it is since Sasuke himself smartened up and went with Naruto's line of thinking in the end.
