Here's another possibility, not one I want to see mind you, but it could work.

We all saw Sasuke using Chibaku Tensei on his own which stands to reason he can probably use all the paths. Naruto and Sasuke duke it out and Naruto is holding back because he loves Sasuke, etc. You know, like the last fight at the end of part 1. Sasuke kills Naruto, kills the kage and everyone comes out of the MT hating him. Something something, happens and Sasuke is driven to sacrifice himself to restore Naruto and the kage he killed with Rinne Tensei. We still get that "feel good" Dr. Phil no jutsu Kishimoto just has to shovel down our throats, and Sasuke still bites it. This way Kishimoto's favorite character at least gets to lose on his own terms.

Kinda makes me want to throw up in my mouth a little, but I think this has a better chance of playing out than Naruto straight up killing Sasuke.

Who knows, maybe Naruto won't deal the finishing blow and Kakashi will find some sharingan contact lenses on the ground and give Sasuke a much needed colonoscopy via Raikiri kancho.
