Sasuke knows Naruto is better and stronger then him and the only reason at the valley he wasn't lying on the ground with Naruto staring down at him getting ready to drag him back to Konoha is because Naruto refused to risk killing him and cut his forehead protector instead.
Sasuke went into the fight believing he could kill Naruto and he left it knowing he is incapable of killing anyone even Itachi. Its why he tries to off Orochimaru he's testing his ability to kill, because Orochimaru deserves to die, but once again he fails to do it and instead traps Orochimaru in his head, using the excuse he's just doing it for power.
Sasuke likes to lie to himself about it, but he can't kill its just not in his nature. Suigetsu even teases him about it when he doesn't kill Orochimaru's cursed seal experiment failures.
This makes Sasuke a failure as a character a vengeance based character who can't kill anyone? It just doesn't work.
After he meets with Madara he goes all crazy, but its pretty obvious that Madara has done something to Sasuke like he did to Nagato which makes Sasuke a killer. Sasuke isn't Sasuke anymore he's Crazy Steve Uchiha. I think this current arc with Itachi is slightly bringing the old Sasuke back. Its at least helping lay the foundation for when Naruto fights Sasuke and wins then uses talk no jutsu on him to bring him home.
Only problem is Sasuke has committed one of the worst crimes in the ninja world. Attempting to take the life of a Kage. Look at Zabuza or the Gold and Silver brothers, There considered the worst of the worst renown all around the world as criminals and to be killed on sight.
I wonder how this will play out.
hrm didnt naruto say when they fight they will die together or one of them will definitely die
and orochimaru used his jutsu as a last ditch, also i think he intended to kill them(team 7 yamato) at orochimaru's hideout but was stopped
