What you seem to be forgetting though is that this is a pretty standard shounen manga.Everything is all about friendship,action-y stuff and stressing the all importance of the protagonist or protagonists. As such in this case it doesn't matter how A,or anyone for that matter, feels about Sasuke and no matter how logical it would be for him to receive some form of punishment in the end, the lone thing that matters, as sad as it is, is that Naruto forgives him. As long as the pinnacle of forgiveness and understanding of this story,Naruto, can and has forgiven him he will be absolved of all crimes.Even should there be a fight between the two after they have taken care of Shinjudara,Naruto will still manage to force a 'change of heart' kind of developement on Sasuke by the simple virtue of being Ninja-jesus.
