Thing is, I don't want Masashi to mess it up. Even if Sasuke has changed his objective, you can't change a person's mindset in a day like that, so he is still conflicted and the shinobi alliance will have to be complete retards to trust him from the get-go. He will have to prove himself to be a saint, otherwise everything goes downhill.
