Sasuke, forming the new bonds?

Remember the Naruto manga chapter 414 last week? If you remember, Sasuke "strangely" had some kind of flashback of the old Team 7, or to be exact, Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi. I said "strangely" because if you have been knowing Sasuke since his "Konoha days", you know how blunt, mean, and ungrateful type of person he is.

Knowing Sasuke, we never saw him showing his gratefulness of what he has. Even to say "thank you" is something so difficult for him to do. While the other Genins addressed Kakashi by the name ‘Kakashi-sensei", he hardly called Kakashi, the same person who taught him his powerful chidori technique, by the name "sensei". Sasuke always does things for himself and himself only. He takes the others to join along with him just for his own advantage.

So when Sasuke thanked Karin for saving him (letting him suck on Karin’s chakra actually) when he got beaten pretty hard by the Hachibi jinchuuriki, I was thinking, is it possible that once he knew things about Itachi, the truth about Itachi I mean, he then tries to form the bond with his teammates (Karin, Juugo, Suigetsu) now??

Will this make Sasuke change his mind from crushing Konoha with Madara to saving his old friends and village? Or is Kishimoto just playing with us?? What do you think?
