It's not realstic, but I'm not watching a show about Ninjas and strange powers for realism. Eh, many Nazis after WWII went completely unpunished for the purpose of reconcilliation. In a sense, it was an intended breaking of a cycle of hatred (especially since shitty treatment after WWI caused WWII). Sasuke put the world in a debt they can't repay, he committed crimes he can't atone for. It reminds me of a saying from another show: you can't wipe your slate clean, but you can dedicate your life to making the world right again.
