That's part of why I like it, honestly. Because yes, his constant quest for revenge is Sasuke's tragedy. Itachi created it. That's part of HIS tragedy. He loved his brother too much to kill him but he still ruined his life. He was aware of this. Which is where his conversation with Naruto comes in. Itachi believes in Naruto. Or seems to. Which is really interesting to me. Itachi obviously liked Naruto's answer to him about protecting both Konoha AND Sasuke, and admired him for it. Itachi put his trust in Naruto to save his brother. So yes, Sasuke will constantly look for revenge. Until Naruto stops him. And he will. Because it's his story, and he'll do it.
I agree with this! Actually, I hated this whole storyline to start out with, but it has been growing on me and now I am excited for what it could mean for future events.
Sasuke making these stupid, twisted decisions is pretty in line with many of the adult nins of the previous generation. Not very surprising, considering their upbringing, and considering Sasuke's upbringing especially (good job, Itachi). Naruto stands out because his view on his world and on the ninja is so very different from the norm, that he's changing all that. Sasuke is the biggest product of the twisted side of ninja life. Thus, he is going to be Naruto's biggest challenge in order to save.
