I don't understand why many wanted Sasuke dead. In my opinion, it would be a bitter ending if he just died with all that happened. Sure, he's made mistakes, but you can't expect him to be perfect with everything he's been through. His family & most of the people he knew & cared for were all murdered, he comes from a clan that was used and abused for their abilities, he is burdened with the curse of hatred, & more; even if it wasn't for the curse of hatred, many would be emotionally unstable & screwed if they went through as much as he did. I like the messages conveyed through Naruto & Sasuke that if people weren't so quick to give up on each other & did what they could to help each other out, together they could be so much more and go on to do great things for the world. Naruto's teacher & friends stuck with him long enough that he was able to become a hero worthy of hokage. And because Sasuke was lucky enough to have a friend like Naruto, he could perhaps be saved from the darkness. The anime isn't perfect, but I grew up with it & was able to learn many good things from what's happened in the story, & I'm happy it's is more than just, "This guy bad & want to do bad things just because he is bad & for no real reason, so you have to kill the big bad evil person hurdur punch kick." I'm not trying to call anyone stupid by that comment; I just think most simple minded stories like that aren't worth watching in the long run, though sometimes they can be "fun", I guess.
