Sasuke said that Itachi was a true Hokage for protecting the village from the shadows (something Itachi learned from Shisui), while labeled a criminal and hated by the same people he was protecting. Just like Danzo and Nagato, Sasuke is willing to undertake extreme measures to maintain peace by attaining ultimate power and blowing up a village or two once in a while when people get too bored of peace.

Not sure how am I wrong. I can see where you're coming from with this. I was thinking more along the lines of Itachi attempting to become the focus for all of Sasuke's anger and hatred. Sasuke want to do this on a much larger scale. He want to be the focus of the entire world's anger and hatred in the hopes that it will keep them united and maintain "peace" among the nations.
