[It's hard for things in this place to resonate with Naruto anymore. Everything bleed together. He's been away from home for nearly three years now. People come and go, come and go. It's all the same.
Maybe that's why it resonates with him. It's the same. He can understand this. More than the feeling that whispers you're not good enough you'll never be good enough, is the quiet sense of recognition. Yes, he knows this.]
Revenge, huh. [Now where has he seen that path before?] Is that your answer? [Not asking why, he knows why, too intimately in fact.]
Then you might as well do nothing. It'd still be better than that. [So calm. He's done this before. With Pain, then with Sasuke, and with Sasuke again, and then again. ... and here is someone else driven by the same kind of fury.]
I can't just sit back and do nothing...not after what he did to her! Making her into a toy like that--! [Stops. What's the point in reliving that to explain it? The kid won't understand what it means anyway.]
The only reason I'm alive is to kill that bastard. The others are just taking out the trash.

Of course. There's nothing else left for me to do for...for her.
