The relationship between Naruto and Sasuke

Let's take the intro scene from Shippuuden. Naruto is almost in catatonic state - it looks like Sasuke is about to kill him, but he does nothing to stop him. How I interpret this is that Naruto doesn't believe Sasuke can do it,

Eh, in this case I attribute it to simple shock. He's just too stunned at seeing Sasuke again, and at Sasuke moving so fast and effortlessly that he's stunned into inaction.

I do not believe the bolony that Sasuke is Naruto friend he even said during the get back Sasuke arc that Naruto do not know how he feel because he has family and he didn't. So, the relation that Sasuke feel the same way Naruto feel is moot heck even Gaara have more in common with Naruto then Sasuke. Even though Gaara knew his father unlike Naruto. Futhermore,Sasuke would betray Naruto in a second if he has the power to beat Itachi and that not how best friend should treat each other.

Did anyone see the episode when Jaraiya was trying to stop Naruto from chasing after Sasuke after the big fight with Sasuke. The reason why because Jaraiya thinks that the Naruto and Sasuke relationship is mirror images of the Orochimaru and Jaraiya relationship. Naruto is falling into the same trap that Jaraiya fell into,trying to save a friend who is a lost cause.

Yeah, I'm not sure that Sasuke is as lost as Orochimaru was though. I mean, that kid was always evil, have you seen the flashbacks? The dude's a complete sociopath. Sasuke, on the other hand, is more of an anti-hero, he breaks the rules, goes outside the system, but he's working towards an honorable goal (revenge). I mean, he really hasn't even done anything terribly wrong yet, aside from going awol.

I don't see how you can call revenge honorable. He has a goal, but I would never consider his goal of revenge as honorable.

Revenge is almost always honorable. If you lack the concept of honor then there's rarely cause for vengence either. Don't confuse honor with virtue though.

Sasuke's trust was betrayed, and he pledged to avenge his family and clan. He is honor-bound to complete that objective.

You seem to resort in thinking that revenge is defined honorable. The key word to your first sentence is "almost," as almost it may be, revenge is nowhere to be associated with honor. Moreover, it is clearly stated in the anime that Sasuke is a spoiler[avenger], which clearly means Sasuke holds a personal grudge against his brother on behalf of the assassination of his clan. So Sasuke feels it is his duty to carry out the death of his brother for his wrong-doing, which is not acknowledge from his peers. It is Sasuke's best interest at heart to see this event; though his judgment is clouded with resentment. Which is inevitably not worth honoring since he chose to abandon those who cared for him with those who wish to use him.
