Let's say, for argument's sake, that he does come back to the village. Tsunade might want to forgive him, but you think the rest of the ninja world will? You know damn well the Raikage still wants to Lariat his head off for attacking Kumo and trying to capture B.

He's beyond redemption. Nobody's deifying Danzo here. He saw himself as the one one who could successfully bring peace to Konoha, and so he did any and everything he could to bring himself into the position to make it possible. And he did have some valid points: If Hiruzen had killed Orochimaru back when he was first found out, imagine how much conflict could have been avoided. When Tsunade sent out a messenger toad for Naruto, Danzo didn't kill it because he wanted to make Tsunade look weak as a Hokage: what if Naruto wasn't strong enough to beat Pain? They just handed Kurama to him on a silver platter.

Sasuke literally showed up about two hours ago and said "I'm gonna be Hokage and change the world so that everyone remembers the Uchiha's sacrifice". Any way you try to put it, it doesn't change the fact that he's an international criminal, and just like Obito, even if he did help save the world, a couple minutes of heroics won't make up for all the crimes and murders he's committed.

He is not beyond redemption at all. He has helped save the world that is more than enough for him to be redeemed. He also chose the right path. And no he said he doesn't want Itachi's sacrifice to go to waste. Meaning he doesn't want what Itachi achieved so hard for...protecting the village to go to waste. Which is why he wants to become Hokage to protect the village Itachi fought so hard for.

Okay how can't he be redeemed? He chose the right path. Chose to protect the village. Chose to help in the war. Chose to save the world with Naruto.

Also what crimes has he done. He can be fogiven for joining Akatsuki since he didn't do that much activity and was only there for a very short period of time and him helping in the war would overcome that since he deflected and chose to side with the AS ultimately.

I'm not saying Sasuke is innocent far from it. He has done wrong. But saying he is beyond redemption...you really need to look up and think of that word. Sasuke is capable of redemption.

If he decided to destory Konoha. Had a heavy trail of bodies in his wake like Obito, Madara and Danzo. Then I would say he was beyond redemption but not someone who did wrong but wants to correct it and someone who decided on his own to go on the right path.

But what are his crimes 1. Deflecting Konoha 2. Kidnapping B 3. Attacking the Kage summit

What he has done 1. Helped Itachi deal with Kabuto 2. Chose to protect the village so Itachi's sacrfice of protecing it doesn't go to waste. 3. Wanting to become Hokage to help change the village for the better, 4. Helped save the world

Sasuke is on the right path and because of this he is more than capable of redemption.
