But I hate to think that Sasuke is going to die. I mean after the whole thing to get him back to the village at any cost, Kishi can't just kill him off right? Besides, killing him off would really upset almost every Naruto fan. I doubt he will do that.

I'm sorry what? Killing Sasuke off would upset almost every Naruto fan? I know there are many who would be happy to see him die. Sasuke's the most childish character of the series and although he makes a great antagonist his claim to the Title of Hokage is pure BS. Konoha doesn't need a village leader whose emotions are so easily swayed by others. They need Naruto who has had the same dream of working together and making bonds through hard work from the very beginning, even though he started out not having any. Naruto began with nothing but never gave up working towards his goal despite the ridicule from others. Kakashi killed both his best friends with his own hand on village missions and had a father who committed sepuku due to village ridicule but never turned away from the village. Gai and his father were ridiculed as well for them not having any talent but worked through it and smiled through the harsh times. Meanwhile, Sasuke felt he was the only person who suffered a tragic loss, betrays his friends and village, tries to kill all of them, changes his mind and wants to lead them down the "right path". In my opinion, if he doesn't get killed off he should become a drifter repenting his sins. Kind off like a Rurouni Kenshin deal. I completely agree with you and your argument and obviously Naruto SHOULD become Hokage, but what I'm trying to say is killing of Sasuke would not make for a good story grand story which Naruto deserves to be. Just think for a minute. You create so much of hype and drama about Sasuke. You give such importance to his role. You almost make him a dream for the main character of the series. And then just kill him off? In the end, I feel, there has to be something that Sasuke has to say to Naruto for all that has happened. Some moments have to be spent. They have to end up best of friends. Naruto just has to be rewarded for all he has done for him. I'm not a Sasuke fan. But I don't want to see him die before he makes up for all the wrongs he has done with all the right people in his life.

I see where your coming from with the whole build up of the Naruto Sasuke friendship and yes bringing him back to the village has been made a dream of Naruto but I feel the buildup will lead still lead to a final fight where one or both die. Remember Naruto stated after clashing with Sasuke's chidori (just after the Danzo fight) that if they fought they would both die and that shinobi's of high level can truly understand each others hearts through mere exchange of blows. I think if Naruto survives the final fight with Sasuke, the fight will be his lasting memory of his best friend Sasuke and through the fight they will finally attain the long sought after friendshipn no matter how brief it may be. By the end Sasuke will have acknowledge him and realize what a true friend he is and will entrust konoha to Naruto. He will die on good terms with Naruto.....just my thoughts
