Another thing I hate, alot of their friendship seemed to happened off screen. Its hard to get the audience to care about it if we don't see it.

Yea, we're told they're friends but no one ever shows it to us. There's too much we're expected to take at face value without any build up and that's the problem people are having.

No one manipulated him. He was given an offer and he accepted it. No one forced him to leave the village.

Pretty sure he was manipulated into believing he wouldn't get stronger unless he became Orochimaru's pawn and killed his best friend. Already mentioned he was clearly mentally unstable after the whole clan massacre thing.

Well *later series spoilers*
killing your best friend is a key part of unlocking the ultimate power of the Sharigan, so in reality the entire "friendship" was just a tool to make Sasuke more powerful

The thing is. He wouldve gotten stronger.
uchihas actually get stronger the sadder they are.

And still sasuke still left of his own accord.
 
I'm getting viagra and plan b commercials now. I think Toonami believes I need help having unprotected sex.
I mean this seriously; It's actually a really good sign that they're bringing in ad money from more varied sources. It's slowly been changing over the past month.

Edit; I am a goddamn fool after watching that horrid bumper.

Nah, Kakashi pretty much laid it out for him after him and Naruto fought on that rooftop. He basically said: "If you stay here and train with me I can make you stronger and teach you a shit-ton of jutsu, but it'll take a while before you're strong enough to fight your brother." Meanwhile Orochimaru had basically said: "Fuck that hard work shit, I got drugs and shit for that."

He wasn't manipulated, he was just impatient. He thought he wasn't getting strong enough fast enough, he was pissed Naruto was outstripping him and his pride couldn't handle it. That's why he left, that picture is painted pretty clearly.
