All Gaara has in common with Sasuke was when Gaara's uncle said he had always hated Gaara. The one person Gaara cared about most betraying him.Wasn't Itachi's words more along the lines of just hating Itachi? Sasuke still could've hated Itachi and tried to seek revenge while relying on others to help him. I think that's the reason Sasuke has always failed he won't rely on others. I think that's what defines the difference between Shikamaru being able to avenge Asuma. Shikamaru relied on help. It wasn't as big as Sasuke's whole clan dying, and brother turning on him but Asuma was more like a father to him than Shika's father was, and he set out on a quest to avenge him. Though Shika didn't try to do it alone.
The thing is...I don't think Sasuke ever truly dropped his bonds with Team 7..just more hides them from himself, and tries to convince himself he doesn't care. So I think if he finds out Pein destroyed the village, and killed/nearly killed Kakashi he's going to get angry..Though he'll probably end up doing something stupid like always because he can't grow up.
Yep, hating Itachi only, then I thought that that hatred somehow extended to everyone else that he felt had wronged him.
Yeah, I guess you're right...though while Sasuke's actions and decisions are too extreme, the root of all his actions stems from events beyond his control (aka the killing of his clan by Itachi, and Itachi being forced to kill them by Konoha), which is why I view him as a tragic character (like a tragic hero)
Heh, that's interesting, though I thought Sasuke had pretty much severed those ties consciously, as in they still somewhat existed subconsciously, but he wasn't aware of it, or is that something like what you said.
Anyway, he pretty much tried to kill Naruto and Sakura, it's only after the fight with KB that he realized just how much he needs a team.
One more thing, Konoha was formed through the union of the Uchiha & the Senju right? If so, the claim that the Uchiha are descended from the Hyuuga is not true, since the Hyuuga are part of Konoha.
Unless of course, somewhere along the line, the Hyuuga, who were an ancient and seperate clan decided to join.
