[The lack of answer to the first comment is very telling on Sasuke's part. An unspoken agreement; Naruto was a leech, always attached. Even after Sasuke tried so hard to get them to hate him... and most did, even Sakura more than likely, a little, in her own way.

But Naruto? Naruto had been an idiot, never giving up on him. On their friendship. He won't ever be able to repay such a debt. In the end, he is more hurt because he knows he never deserved that sort of kindness.

Not after the things he did.] He's not.

It isn't good for a Hokage to leave the people of the village unexpectedly. He should be there, for everyone and for our families.
