I'm rereading the whole thing and I'm right now at the final fight. I hate this manga. In my memory the beginning and some parts of the middle were good and the end was really bad but I was mistaken, I don't like the manga at all.

One thing that really bothers me is that by the end of the story, Sasuke's plan and his motivation are shown to be wrong and violent (he uses the word 'revolution', and I'm bothered by how the manga twists this into a bad thing to do). This is in contrast to Naruto's naive and idealistic vision that everyone can work together and that even war criminals can be rehabilitated through enough talk no jutsu.

Trying to search if more people got that irk about Sasuke vision I found some people saying that Kishimoto agrees more with Sasuke than Naruto and was pressured to end the history with Naruto vision being the only correct one. It's that true? Is there any interview in which he addresses this directly? The only thing that I could find are vague posts and a light novel called Jinraiden: Ookami no Naku Hi, in which Sasuke talks more about his views but it's not written by Kishimoto, he only drew it.

If Kishimoto doesn't agree with Naruto, maybe I could even like the manga. It could transform the manga into a parody where the protagonist is a nepobaby from a lineage of war criminals that alongside with other aristocratic war criminals maintain "peace" amongst themselves while minor regions like Amegakure still suffers and every villain of the history are misguided revolutionaries who got defeated.
