Let's assume for a second that Sasuke kills everyone in Konoha, however unrealistic that might be at this point. Elders, Naruto, Kakashi, Ramen Ichiraku owner, all of them. He avenges his clan, escapes successfully, goes off to hide somewhere, and now he's left with nothing to do. He is basically a terrorist threat to everyone at this point.

He can't resurrect his clan. The only way to see his clan again is to die and go to the spirit world. He could kill himself, but he doesn't know how the afterlife works and if that guarantees he'll see his family. Is there hell? Heaven? He said that nobody in Konoha deserves to live and he basically just drops himself down to their level if he kills himself so that's pretty redundant itself. Will he turn himself in some other village and serve time? No, he has way too much of an ego to do that. He feels murdering everyone in Konoha is justified.

Now, he does have another option. He could decide not to kill anyone and just live his life in solitude. Maybe Itachi's memory/speech really touched him. Itachi killed his entire clan to spare his little brother and Konoha's future, why would Sasuke stomp on that? Okay, so he decides not to murder anyone. He's still going to be really depressed living a life of solitude, he can't be happy. He's just going to be angry and depressed.

He can turn himself in to Konoha and just maybe Naruto can get him out of capital punishment or any life-long sentence. Eventually he can return to being a regular Konoha ninja, maybe apologize to Sakura/Kakashi and they make up.


In any case, Sasuke loses. There is no way he will reach satisfaction or happiness with any of this. The chance that he is able to defeat Naruto and everyone else in Konoha is already pretty low. Not to mention that a fight with Naruto would be long enough for allied villages to come for reinforcement. Raikage wants him arrested. He could die trying to kill everyone in Konoha but again, he doesn't win. Naruto won't win either. If Sasuke dies, Naruto isn't going to be happy. Naruto has done so much for what? For Sasuke to die? It's over for Sasuke.
