when will you grow wise? forget sasuke...
every inch he grew, he did only to be able to reach sasuke. every battle he fought, he did so as a stepping zone. if he could beat every bad guy no matter the jutsu, he could defeat sasuke's darkest demon, even if that demon was sasuke himself. besides, naruto knew all about demons, whatever sasuke had possessing him was nothing. if he could convince the evilest of guys to turn to turn over a new leaf, he could do it to sasuke too. whether he had to talk, punch, bite, kick, or scream, he had all the training he needed to bring sasuke home.
if that's what being wise means then i'll remain a fool my entire life.
everyone kept telling him that sasuke was long gone. that if he wanted to be hokage, he had to let go of the childish view he had of his former friend. ❝ weren't you listening to me?! what don't you get?! ❞ naruto clenches his fist, the words flying out and hopefully hitting sasuke in his thick skull. ❝ if growing up means giving up on you, if it means abandoning you, well then you can forget it! i'd rather be a stupid kid forever! ❞.
