I feel like the series was rushed way too quick in preparation for Naruto: The Last (which obviously was created months in advance and they probably didn't want to delay the movie).
I still don't believe Sasuke's character development from wanting to achieve peace and wanting to kill Naruto as a way of taking on the burden himself. Also, Kishimoto never showed Sasuke showing Sakura any sort of affection and all of a sudden at the end he does?!? Plus, Sakura is still madly in love with him after all the crap he put her through?! Don't get me started on how he portrays women in this series. I feel as if Kishi jumbled all the fans desires and crammed them at the end to please fans (sasuke naruto final fight, sasuke-sakura, naruto-hinata, etc.)
Sasuke had no regrets until the very end when he loses to Naruto. Only at his defeat does he believe that perhaps Naruto's way is the right one (seriously?). Sasuke was JUST beginning to follow Madara's path.
Madara/Kaguya had set up the Infinite Tsukuyomi already, they both claim they wish for peace in a world where peace was not possible through collaboration. Collaboration allows for temporal peace but forced peace would be "true" peace since there would literally be no fights (genjutsu). (this ties into government but let's not go there) Sasuke wanted true peace at the very end and was willing to burden himself in the darkness as did Madara, (Itachi's words hold true) in order to achieve it. That being said, IMO Sasuke would still be willing to cast the world in genjutsu or control it with his powers if all he sees on his journey are wars/fights.
Sasuke is still a villain in my book, his loss only entertains Naruto's views on peace as a temporary option, however Sasuke wants to see the world for himself and decide then what should be done.
TL;DR very bad character development as a result of rush to end series, sasuke can be considered final villain because of his desire for peace and his method of obtaining it, but temporary settles for naruto's views as a result of loss.
kishimoto getting political and gets a pass on the answer to the question of how should one go about achieving peace through his character's actions (naruto wants to collaborate, sasuke wants to decide for himself how the state of the world is before he makes any decision)
