You do realize that it was BECAUSE of the Sage's decision that the Uchiha/Senju or Indra/Ashura conflict began... he admited that he shouldn't have let the conflict between brothers grow to the point it did. Also the thing about Sasuke is...he was the sole survivor of a massacre that took his family, friends and everything in between when he was age 7 and by the one person he most admired and looked up. He was deceived by Itachi into killing him. In between the physicological shock of the massacre and Itachi's manipulation, Sasuke acted as most humans would...if anything Sasuke is one of the most human (for better or worse) caracter in the series. Even the Second, who hated the Uchihas, noted that they were loyal and dedicated people. And to me personally, deserting the place that caused the circunstances that lead to the death of my family isn't a crime by any stretch of mind...hell i'd tear the place down brick by brick...if anything the fact that Kishi turned him into this current path of re-integreation into the village was the only problem with story/character.
