Ha, the thought of someone asking you that after every few sentences gives me a very distinct image of a Freudian look-alike being beaten heavily with a clipboard. I seem to be watching too much TV, which is odd, because I don't actually have one. And I'm a quick study when it comes to some people, though it helps that I'm accustomed to that particular brand of stubbornness. I can't exactly say much on the subject, I'm partial to the smell myself. Someone on campus seems to have a habit of smoking before class, every morning the entire restroom smells like fresh Marlboros, and yet whoever she is she never gets caught.
I'm not sure it's that they don't want to bond with him, but rather that he may not be ready to accept them as a big part of his life. As far as I've noticed things seem alright between he and Ms. Uzumaki, I haven't really broached the subject of his parents with him. As for Namikaze-san, he seems to be a decent person, and it's obvious he cares for people in general, let alone his own son. It just... It can't be easy. There's no telling how much unconscious resentment and bitterness there is there, and the awkwardness is natural on both sides. It... It's not easy to connect with someone you don't know, even if that person is family, especially when there are issues and feelings of being abandoned. That only makes trusting and connecting with that person that much more difficult. When Naruto is ready to forge those bonds, I‘m sure they will both be there for him ready and eager, but there is a good deal of unpleasantness to suffer through first.
Haha, well...don't say that it didn't happen either. I've had my fair share of "How does this make you feel?" bull crap even in my younger years. Hmm, maybe it's just some talk you've heard from friends who share what they like/seen on the television?Hmm...I seem to like this student's style, however, I can't say that I would be the one to tell her off if I catch her. It would seem hypocritical since I smoke during class.
Hmm...but then again I don't blame him if he doesn't want that particular bond either. Just my overall opinion about it. But like I said earlier, I think the more friends Naruto has, the better off he'll be. Especially if it's dealing with resentment toward family members. If he hasn't already, I would think maybe a good person to kind of model after (like a role model)...or just go by pure raw experience, like I have. I dunno, just hang out with him a bit more, make him feel welcomed since Minato is busy chasing tail after Sasuke.
Oh that's alwayus the best time for it too. Nothing's better than being so young that nobody else listens to you when you try to stop going. Possibly, or I just watched too many cartoons in my life and they're bleeding together. I don't imagine you would. Someday someone's going to get you in trouble for doing that. Or whip out their own ashtray and turn it into a smoking hour. My money's on the second one.

Heh, he has no shortage of friends with experience with this kind of thing. Of course it's not something I would probably be good at relating too; he knows my family, and beside that no one wants to hear the rich girl whine. At least I can show him I understand a little bit of how he feels. And as I recall Namikaze-san "adopted" my cousin around the same time that he did Sasuke, so perhaps he truly does have good intentions? Neji has his family here now, and his own father again, but Uchiha-san only has his brother, who Namikaze-san obviously doesn't believe is enough of a family to fall back on, and even I know that uncle of his is quietly estranged at best. Uchiha are nearly legendary in how rarely they let someone close to them in even a semi-familial relationship, even with their own blood. It's entirely possible that Namikaze-san is aware of that, and of his unique position, and is just... Going overboard with it. It seems that is a habit that runs in the blood at least.
