@Otaku For the record, he kind of already is a Christ-like figure for the series. He's Asura's son, the redeemer of the Tailed Beasts, the Hero of the Hidden Leaf, the Child of Prophecy (that HAS to ring a bell), the one who won a war, and the savior of the world. As for my opinion, he would be EXTREMELY devastated over Sakura since she is the single closest person to him. But he forgave Nagato for killing the previous holder of that title, Jiraiya. So he would still forgive Sasuke.
