Aw, come on. People keep calling Sasuke emo, but I am interested to hear their reasons why. Is it the hair? No, since it doesn't look 'emo' to me and he was born with that kind of hair-style, and he's never styled it...

He strives to get stronger, to move forward with his goals that he's kept for years. That sounds like the exact opposite of an emo person to me. Is it the severing of his bonds? That I will agree with can be seen as selfish on his part, ignoring the advice of his surrogate family to pursue something personal to him... in turn causing his new family suffrage, but on the flip-side, wouldn't you think that he has every right to pursue that goal of his? Konoha did shit about it to make him feel better.
Hey, he could have turned into the biggest bucket of angst or 'emo' that you've ever seen, slitting his wrists or pulling pranks like Iruka and Naruto for attention. Everyone copes with pain differently. Just because Sasuke remained indifferent and 'cool' doesn't mean that he's 'emo', that's just his personality.
At least Sasuke is doing everyone a big favor by killing one of the biggest threats Konoha has ever seen. Also, the very fact that he actually brought himself to severe those bonds, all the while appearing cold and emotionless and putting up a front to Team 7 when confronted about it definitely shows how mentally strong Sasuke is.
And what techniques would those be? Sharingan eye? The bloodline that he was born with is cheat? It can't be. It makes no logical sense. It's fiction. Kishimoto made him that powerful within the Naruto universe, so he simply IS.
Unless you don't count that one time Sasuke copied Rock Lee's moves; but that's just how impressive the Sharingan is. If you're going to call Sasuke's Sharingan a cheater's tool, then what about Kakashi who has copied way more techniques than Sasuke ever has?

Hmm, I'm wondering just what version of Naruto you have been reading.
Yeah, Sasuke's just going to turn a 180 on us and decide to go evil despite the fact that it's been repeated time and time again just how much of a softy he is. He's only batshit insane when it comes to Itachi.
