And Sasuke staying in the village would work if...

That last is the most important point that most people seem to miss.
The part of he being the one who granted Nagato the Rin’negan is the only one so far that has really bugged me. I have formulated and seen some theories to explain it (one of the more interesting ones is that he might have only achieved that by sacrificing one of his perfect Mangekyo Sharingan with the Izanagi), but ultimately, I have decided to reserve judgement on that until it’s explained what exactly he did (not to mention that is always possible he was lying to Konan when he said that).

Given her age, she is being molded with the Moral Myopia that tends to happen to powerful and prestigious families. One thing that has become apparent is that the Hyuuga are well connected, if only so they can serve as an easily manipulated patsy if things go wrong. For all that the Byakugan gives the Hyuugas, their own pride would make them perfect for Danzo's schemes, as they would be blind to the fact that they are being manipulated far more than they are doing the manipulating. Yes, I fully believe that Hiashi and his fellow elders are aware that others are manipulating them for their own ends, but they also believe that they are the ones ultimately in control.I'm personally hoping for more of a revelation for Hanabi, a realization that what her father and the clan is doing to Hinata is wrong. I think she was honestly confused by Naruto's attitude towards her when Team 8 rescued her. She's so sheltered that her moral compass is set by what her father and the majority of the clan do.
And not in a good way, either. I also don't think she realizes that she is being groomed to be an easily manipulated puppet. That revelation will probably be something that breaks her while everything about her clan falls down around her. It's already clear that the Evil Authorlord is setting events up for that. Don't know how many chapters in the future it will be, but Tsunade has spent years outside the village, so she will be coming in without any preconceived notions on taking a hands off policy to an uppity clan and a bunch of geriatrics who have illusions of having more power than they actually do. Jiraya is also doing what he can to ensure that this particular boil finally gets lanced by her through making sure she is informed of just how absolutely fucked up several things are in Konoha.She can't see beyond the clan walls to realize that the Hyuuga are probably looked at as the next Uchiha.

Ah, plot convenience.I don't know if it is just me, but everyone seems to be forgetting something: If Sasuke DOES defect, and starts drawing from the curse seal, then
Naruto most likely has the ability to disrupt it and effectively destroy it. The proof of this is the final result of his match with Neji. Neji states in chapter 19:
What would remain to be seen, however, is whether or not Sasuke would survive the attempt."Your final blow left a large scar," he said quietly.
Naruto resumed his meal after a moment. He wasn't precisely being rude – Neji hadn't asked him a question yet.
"The Caged Bird Seal was completely obliterated when the skin was ripped away," Neji continued after a moment. "That shouldn't be possible, but the medic-nins think a burst of chakra might have disrupted the seal as the blow was struck."
Naruto resumed eating after Neji fell silent again.
Neji took a deep breath after a couple of moments. "That's equally impossible, at least not without killing me, unless there was something very strange about the chakra that was used. But given how you recovered from having your tenketsu closed, that is not very surprising." He turned on his seat, facing directly toward Naruto. "The scar that formed is also suffused with chakra. When the Elders tried to reapply my seal, that chakra disrupted the attempt. At this point, the medic-nins insisted that further attempts would be too dangerous and when Hiashi-sama insisted, the Hokage asserted his authority on the matter. My Uncle tried to have me immediately removed from the hospital, but the request was refused."
Well, keep in mind. The only person actually affiliated with Konoha who is considered a seal master and is... well... still alive... is Jiraiya. Sure, the Third probably knows a few seals, but I'm pretty sure he wasn't a seal master. (On that note, someone with a seal summons could be DAMN hilarious...)So my vote is for Sasuke to stay in the village. His continued presence will largely f-ck things up, since Part II largely focuses on getting him back. Naruto sending Team 7 to the Tower early prompted Kakashi to get a better sealmaster to deal with the Cursed Seal, and the Sasuke Retrieval arc is GONE.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Orochimaru gave them both a seal (it was never specified how the different cursed seals are actually different, other than the Cursed Seal of Heaven (the one Sasuke and Anko have) being the strongest, if I remember correctly...), but Naruto's was an accident. Naruto just blew his up, which would've badly hurt Sasuke if HIS cursed seal hadn't been activated at that point. Right? Or did I miss something?Of course, Sasuke has one noted trait. That being, the lack of said seal due to Naruto interfering and getting it long enough to blow it up.
