What if Naruto decides it would be better to let Sasuke live and face punishment for his crimes, as killing him would lead to eternal peace?

Sasuke refuses to return to the village to avoid this, his status as an international criminal and missing-nin is never lifted, every village has a bounty on his head and that's why he looks like a bum in The Last? He's literally a homeless drifter.
