I find it strange that people would hold on to a bond that is useless. Recently, a few old teammates of mine, infiltrated Orichimaru's base in am attempt to "rescue" me. A new member proclaiming he wanted to bring me back to Konoha to protect the bond I had with Naruto ( Read more... )

"Keeping strong bonds assures that people would be willing to aid and assist you in a time of need. And as for the philosophy of 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend' - depending on the foes, it's best to let them fight each other, and to waste both energy and resources in doing so." Seigfried pulled hair from his face.

"You never know when an enemy would set an ambush, entrapped you, or force you between the steingein and the sea*." The knight answered. "And some enemies just can not be taken on alone for various reasons."

Seigfried smiled faintly. "Because if he's more useful in wearing down your other enemies, you can kill two birds with one arrow - not to mention that others in the future would assume you'll be merciful to everyone and act accordingly."

Maybe not universally a wise plan, but in this case, I think it makes sense, since the one doing the witholding can benefit from a certain level of preparations, and if he can buy the time to do so by having his two main enemies reduce each other's numbers, it's certainly not a bad plan.

Will it explain at least the initial assault on the base if I point out they were probably acting under orders to "rescue" you?

((Nice icon.))

...Because bonds should be cherished, not discarded. Although it sounds like your friends treasured their link to you more than you did...
