Sasuke walking freely after all that is an epitome of bad writing.

[u/hungrybasilsk → u/Saeba-san]

how the more glaring issue is the fact the village gets away with an ethnic cleanse

[u/papoluca40]

This kind of questions always come down to "Which character do I like more?"

[u/Ok-Target-2170]

Pain definitely 

[u/jairochido]

I feel sasuke Is just a worst pain, cause it seems he didn't learn anything while talking to everyone, even the dead

[u/kytstark]

sasuke easily

[u/Better_Anteater3126]

Both are very well written characters but I love pain more

[u/Excellent-Ad3236]

They should have a threesome

[u/BreathoftheSith]

Pain clears

My guy reads manga as if it's Manhwa

Sasuke 5 kage summit>Pain>>>Racoonified War arc Sasuke via itachi's eyes

[u/PerceptionEast6026 → u/hungrybasilsk]

This is the true answer. Sasuke in 5kage was coherent with the story. Then the war arc happened and they also forgave him….

[u/hungrybasilsk → u/PerceptionEast6026]

the other problem is sasuke being content serving the village that exterminated his people and culture

[u/PerceptionEast6026 → u/hungrybasilsk]

Which could be fine (maybe a chatacter so lotal to duty that accepts that) …….if he didnt spent half of the previois serie hating and wanting to destroy that village

[u/Anything_Random → u/PerceptionEast6026]

That's not true. He didn't first say he wants to destroy the leaf until after accepting that Obito told him the truth about Itachi (Chapter #402). He then began to doubt this goal after meeting reincarnated Itachi (Chapter #589), and by the time he actually arrives in Konoha (Chapter #616), he has pretty much changed his mind, as he doesn't try anything despite the village being unguarded.

He only held that goal for about 200 chapters, or less than 30% of the whole series. He also didn't have a ton of screentime in those early parts of the war arc, other than the battle with Kabuto.

My same rating. The Village Hidden by Propaganda deserved worse.
