From the very start, Naruto’s always looked at Sasuke as a brother and a comrade to which he can truly trust and follow. But Sasuke’s past was not fully resolved, he had to take care of his brother in order to find out what actually happened. On the way, Naruto was always there to get him, at each point except when he went with Orochimaru, Naruto respected Sasuke as more than a friend. Even till now, his biggest promise is to bring Sasuke back to village.

It seems as though that this ultimate promise of Naruto seems to be one that is likely to solve everything, if he’s able to go through and bring back Sasuke to the village, a lot of other problems are most likely to also get solved. If Naruto is able to defeat Madara, Obito and the Ten Tails, then it seems likely that he will bring Sasuke back, but since it’s his ultimate promise to Sakura, it’s most likely to be one that will bring Naruto down to his level.
