What does any of this have to do with you? I have my own path. I won't let anyone lead me any other way...No matter who it is. Let me make it clear to you...The future is not where my dream is. It's in the past...That's where it'll always be.
-Naruto

It's not wise to judge others by your preconceptions and their appearances.

"Sasuke...I always knew you were a loner. I...In the beginning, I was relieved because I thought you were the same as me...Besides, I was glad. In fact, I wanted to talk to you straight away...But...You didn't speak. You could do everything. Also, you always had everyone...Because we were too different...Regrettably. I decided you would be my rival! I didn't want to lose...Because I was called a loser. I thought that all the time. Even when we became Team 7, I thought the same...I stubbornly continued to lie, but...I always wanted to be like you. I aspired to be like you...Because of that...'I want to fight you...' That time...I was truly glad. You acknowledged me. Since those words were the first...But, our fists didn't have to meet for me to understand. From that time, we haven't spoken. We...How are we friends?!"

*It's meaningless...To me, you have...Become a close friend...*

"But if you seriously want to kill me...Even if those words from before were serious...I don't understand...Maybe I thought I was your only willing friend...After all...Maybe I was the only one who thought we were friends...Because of that... I...I will not give up...Sasuke..."

*Th...This is Naruto?! What is this pressure?! What the hell is that crimson chakra anyway?! Is he...A monster?*

"What the hell...Are you?"

"That's why...I'll fight on!"

"A friend. That's why I say I won't give you up to Orochimaru! Even if I have to break you're arms and legs, I'm going to stop you! Wake up already! If you're still not sure, I'll break you like a stick and bring you back immobile!"

"Shut the hell up...What do you know about me? Someone like you without a family or siblings...You had nothing in the first place! What the hell do you understand about me?! Huh? We suffer because of our bonds! You don't know how it feels to lose then...You...!"

"I don't understand about real families or brothers...But...When I'm with Iruka-Sensei, I wonder...If it feels like being with a father...When I'm with you...I wonder...If it's like being with a brother."

"Why...Why do you go this far for me...?"

"For me...It's one of the first bonds I've ever had. That's why...I must stop you!"

"Come...Naruto. Then...I will break that bond!"

"Break them? Then why...Now, your headband..."

"I will acknowledge...That you are strong. You are someone who knows the same pain of loneliness as I do. And...That pain makes a person stronger. Because of that, by severing these bonds...I will gain even more strength. From now on, we will fight as equals."
-Naruto
