NeedleJizo wrote: He saw what Itachi did. A great way of putting it, but i wanted to add a few things:


 * neither was around for the other's major events. E.g. Sasuke never saw what Itachi told Naruto.
 * the theme that the Hokage walks in front and that you can only be Hokage if acknowledged by everyone also returned. Naruto walked in front of everyone, and everyone acknowledged him. It was a proof to Sasuke that Naruto was a true Hokage.
 * Itachi hinted at it, but never told Sasuke what he thought about his own actions. Sasuke's idea of a Hokage was based upon Itachi's life, but there were aspects he didn't know, like Itachi thinking he was too lost in power and forgot about his friends. He didn't realize that Itachi's and Naruto's Hokage were the same thing.
