I disagree. The Sasuke issues were solved before Naruto became Hokage. We can't put everything on a matter of "if". Sasuke became trustworthy to the other villages way before Naruto became Hokage, was seen in his novel.

Sasuke was one of the main reason why the 4th war was won. I know that Sasuke had the whole 5 kage summit affair and joined akatsuki for a short while, but the 4th war would've started with or without Sasuke, and Obito would've had the same amount of war power, if not greater, since he could've captured Bee alone and most likely would've succeed, unlike Sasuke.

Also, Sasuke is among the 2 strongest shinobi in the world, and the difference between him and pretty much any other nation is oceaninc.

If Naruto wouldn't back Sasuke up and he would let the other villages turn his back on him, than Sasuke would feel as an outcast, the same way Madara did after he made peace with Hashirama. And where did that go to? Ahh, yes, he captured Kurama and tried to destroy everything and rebuild it in his own way. So that work out just fine. Why would Naruto want for history to repeat itself?

Not to mention that Sasuke is pretty much the only one who is able to track otsutsukis, which is the highest level of thread possible, and has been on this mission for a long time, which mind you benefits the entire shinobi world, not just Konoha. And at this time in Boruto we have Momoshiki, Kinshiki, Urashiki and Isshiki. If it weren't for Sasuke's abilities, the 5 nations would have no way to deal with things. So yes, one could understand why you would like to have Sasuke art your side, or at last not make him feel like an outcast and let him do his work.

Naruto is trying to do what Hashirama failed, and not let history repeat itself.
