What was it about the Naruto vs. Sasuke fight that dissapointed people? Sasuke should be dead. No he shouldn't, that would be a terrible ending. Naruto set out to save Sasuke and that was how it was going to end as Naruto would of never accepted the position of Hokage if he couldn't save his best friend so if we went through with killing Sasuke Naruto would not become Hokage and ultimately end the series on a bitter note...which nobody really wants.

Saving people from hatred has a more profound message than killing them.
