    Why is Kakashi being touted as the end all be all ninja? IMO his on-screen/ on page record just doesn't support that assessment. Yes he does sweat badass out of every pore and I don't doubt his skills are super elite but he needs to win a high level battle or two without looking flustered and completely worn out at the end before I can really get behind him as 'strongest in the village'. I am confident Pein would wipe the floor with him, I think Itachi could probably still beat him, though he may be able to resist Tsukiyomi more readily now with his own Mangekyou so that's a bit of a toss up. He failed to kill Diedara, though Diedara was running instead of trying to kill him, and he failed to kill Kazuku, though he technically didn't but Kazuku needed to be killed 5 times. But still, for a ninja a failure is a failure. The fact that Akatsuki level ninja's exist yet Kakashi, who is supposedly the strongest regular ninja in Konoha, has to go to the red line to even have a chance at beating them worries me greatly. The only way I can justify it is if Konoha is the strongest village because it's average ninja are better than other villages average ninja, not because it's best ninja are better than other villages best ninja.

    I'm guessing your thinking calling someone 'emo' is another way of simply calling them emotional, however that is not the common usage of the word 'emo', at least in online parlance. Being called 'emo' usually means a person tends to constantly express emotions like angst, anger, hatred, misery and/or resentment toward someone or something in their life. Said emo persons tend to live their lives consumed and strongly controlled by these feelings, basing many of their lifestyle choices around them..

    People who hate their lives and want to slit their wrists, people who hate their lives and try to act out by dressing in weird clothes and wearing strange hairdos and listening to angst-filled 'alternative' (usually punk) music, people who hate their lives and sit at home writing angst filled poems about their feelings of hate for their lives while dressed in weird clothes, and listening to angst-filled 'alternative' (usually punk) music, these are all examples of people who would be called 'emo' by online society.

    Sasuke has been considered emo for as long as I've been following Naruto, and I suspect it is because he gets so angsty and whiny whenever he's reminded of Itachi or of defeat (and hence Itachi again). He also tends to take actions based in some way on his anger towards Itachi. Plus, he has a fairly emo hairstyle, but that's just my personal opinion.

    Post time skip Sasuke seems to be less, or at least differently emo than pre skip Saskue due to reduced angst, however once you're seen as emo it's pretty much impossible for people to not see you as emo until you've completely eliminated any emo tendencies (and sometimes not even then). Until Sasuke stops living and breathing only to kill Itachi he's probably going to be considered emo by quite a few people.
