Ever since Sasuke arrived to the battlefield, everyone perceives him as "turning back to the good side." While I definitely think Sasuke has changed for the better, ever since he arrived, there have been many hints that suggest that Sasuke's "dark side" is still very much present in his character. Some examples include-

1. Chapter 634: After Naruto and Sasuke attack the Ten-Tails, Sasuke commands the Amaterasu flames to "burn it (Ten-Tails) down." In this panel, he looks incredibly evil. Also, several characters question his true motives.

2. Chapter 635: Sasuke continues to try to disintegrate the Ten-Tails, and he (very evilly mind you) says that he wants to rid the world of Tailed Beasts and create a new world order. Once again, his motives are questioned by several characters.

3. Chapter 639: Perhaps the most ambiguous of all- Sasuke saves Naruto from Obito's attack and he maliciously states that he wants to "delete the past." In this panel, we also see the classic Team 7 photo, with a slash in Naruto.

4. Chapter 645: Sasuke's jealous nature of Naruto's power is shown again.

5. Chapter 671: Sasuke's true answer to Hagoromo's question is never shown. I doubt he said the same thing as Naruto. Sasuke didn't say "I want to protect my comrades, etc."

I think these examples just prove that Sasuke is not the goody-two shoes that everyone thinks he is. While I still think he wants to protect Konoha, I think he wants to do it in his own, evil way, which will clearly conflict with Naruto. I think he will try to rid the world of Tailed Beasts after the War, which will also mean getting rid of Naruto as well. If Naruto and Sasuke do not fight because Sasuke wants to get rid of all Tailed Beasts, then they will fight because Naruto will not agree with the way that Sasuke wants to rule Konoha as the Hokage.

What do you think of the ideas posed here? Do you think Kishi will ever address these moments (specifically the one in 639) in the manga again? Do you want him to address these moments? Let me know!
