"I lost my mother too!" he screams. "I lost my parents. Stop saying I don't understand!"
"Your parents died traitors," the other boy snarls.
He flinches, shakes his head. "You think that means it doesn't count?! They were still my parents! They still -- they loved me. They were doing what they thought was right," he says, more quietly.
Naruto laughs. There are tears in his eyes but his teeth are bared. "Yeah? My mother did what she thought was right too. You know? She saved the village! And then a bunch of psycho bastards grabbed her and cut her open, and no one did anything about it. No one cared. No one's doing anything! Oh, our jinchuuriki is already lost, it's pointless--"
"Come home," Sasuke says quietly -- quietly, because he already knows Naruto won't listen.
