So, in my random goings around in the Naruto fandom I've noticed that a lot of people have pretty much changed their Team 7 to the Naruto-Kakashi-Sakura team since Sasuke's MIA. It made me wonder how many people really are into Sasuke.

I know a lot of people, including me, were considerably unhappy with Sasuke after the Sasuke-in-a-barrel arc. I never cared much for Sasuke through the series, and I found myself screaming at my computer screen like a lunatic. In my displeasure I found that a lot of people agreed with the anti-Sasuke sentiment. Which was one of the the reasons I went "huh?" when Sasuke beat Naruto at the popularity poll, making me hate him more.

Now however, I don't really hate him as much I just want Naruto to beat him into a bloody pulp and drag his half dead carcass back to Sakura so they can continue living their happy assassins-for-hire lives.

I was just wondering, now that all the flame from the Sasuke hating has died down, what people thought of him. Personally, I'm once again apathetic to his character, I just hope Naruto and Sakura can go on living decent lives with him like the old times.
