Naruto:

I don't think totallitarian cuts it for Sasuke. He doesn't want to rule anyone, but rather become the overpowering enemy that can only be defeated by banding together. He wants to become the common threat for the entire world. Not that this makes him much of a better character...

I too think that killing Sasuke is the only real solution, but I also think it'd be better for the story if Sakura was the one to do it. For Naruto to kill Sasuke, he'd have to betray his highly valued and flaunted way of the Ninja and I can neither see nor want it to happen. But if someone else kills Sasuke, it could work out. For some reason it just feels somehow right for Saukra to be the one to deal the death-blow, rather than any other currently available character.

I imagine Naruto beating down Sasuke and throwing a speech, but Sasuke get's up and tells him that the only way to stop him is to kill him. Naruto says he could never kill him to which Sasuke replies "Then you can only die!" and charges, but suddenly a kunai is stuck in his body somewhere. And in a very emotional scene, Sasuke dies of some kind of poison while lying in Sakura's arms.

Magi:

I'm now more convinced than ever that Arba faked her own death for her plans. Sure it might seem like a setback at first, but it can easily serve their cause. With the news of her "death" the Kou descends into chaos. That'll cause many people to have negative emotions and thus gives rise to more black Rukh to feed a new dark-spot.

Maybe she's even planning to make Hakuryuu into the new medium. Right now he thinks he has won, but when Kouen returns, he'll soon lose his "king-ship" again and likely forcing him to fight against his beloved sister. And if that's not enough to make him fall into depravity, Arba can show herself again and proof to Hakuryuu that all his efforts were in vain. That would surely push him over the edge and make him curse his fate for real and by now he might have ammassed enough power to become the new medium.
