If Sasuke were telling anyone else from Konoha this, he would likely be scoffed at after his previous (more destructive) ambitions. Fortunately this is Naruto and he has nothing if not unwavering faith in his friend and his own ability to knock some sense into him whenever needed. Just hearing Sasuke say that he wants to be involved in Konoha's rebuilding at all makes him happy and that he wants to try understanding others better makes him doubly so.
It shows in the fond smile that spreads across his face and he wants to encourage Sasuke on this new path, to tell him that it's a good idea and maybe crack a joke about how he'll have to fight Shikamaru if he wants to become his advisor or throw in the playful suggestion that he be part of his ANBU when Naruto becomes Hokage. ]
