@Blackchaos27. As Rachin123 said there was no point for any of that. And yes hissy fit. He was willing to accept the hatred of the entire shinobi world but all it takes is Naruto saying we're friends to get him to surrender. He wasn't willing to do anything. He just wanted Naruto and Sakura to tell him how special he was.

And true, Sasuke wasn't directly responsible for those deaths. But as I've said, Sasuke surrendering at the end of part 2 is no different from Sasuke surrendering at the end of part 1. Had Sasuke just surrendered at the end of part 1 the war with Akatsuki could have gone very differently. Sasuke would have been helping Konoha instead of causing trouble for everyone everywhere. Without Sasuke slaughtering all those Kumo ninja Akatsuki wouldn't have gotten Bee's tail. Kaguya didn't need to be ressurected at all. It's not about lack of closure, it's about not needing closure in the first place. Maybe they'd still be dead, maybe they wouldn't. But ignore all the could haves. What did happen was everyone worked their hardest to find a solution to a problem that lazily solved itself. All the rookies trained their hardest to bring Sasuke home. And in the end Sasuke just shrugged and said "I'm done fighting. Take me home."
