Chapter
Four: Be Reasonable
„What
were you thinking?“ Yamato asked. „If you were thinking
at all.“
„There
was no time to think.“
„Particularly
if there is no time to think you should be careful not to do anything
stupid.“
„What
was stupid about what I did?“
„Risking
your life like this!“
„It
were only my kagebunshin.“
„Your
true self went as well.“
Naruto
swallowed. It had been his true self after all that had met Itachi.
He decided to be silent about it.
„You
know the risk“, Yamato continued. „You are in greater
danger than any of us, even though you are stronger than most of your
teammates. You are the jinchuuriki, so it is you they are after. We
also have reason to believe that you are Itachi's personal target.
You should be on your guard and not rush out as you did.“
„How
can I save Sasuke if I am afraid of Itachi?“
„How
can you save him when you are dead? Stop acting the hero and begin to
think!“
He
left Naruto speechless and humiliated, all the more because he knew
that Yamato had a point. Still he could not completely subdue his
anger. He was fed up with having to be careful all the time, never
moving too far away from the Jounin of the team, always remembering
that he was the jinchuuriki, targeted by Akatsuki and in mortal
danger if they ever found him.
Damn.
As if he was a precious doll, not the strong shinobi he really was.
He
went to Sakura to vent about his frustration.
„It's
not your fault“, she said. „But no one can help it. You
are their target. Be reasonable!“
It
was easy for her to say that: She was not in his place.
„Tsunade
did what she could for you. The council would have preferred to have
you stay in Konoha.“
Be
content with the constrictions imposed on you. They could be worse.
Don't envy those who may enjoy their freedom.
Kakashi
was not much better.
„I
know it's not easy for you, but please keep in mind that we are doing
our best: Be with you and give you the protection you need while
trying to find Sasuke. It won't be forever. One day Akatsuki will be
defeated. Just don't rush into action any more without consulting us,
and most important of all, never again go anywhere without taking
anyone with you.“
I
won't tell him that I met Itachi, Naruto thought. Just as little as I
told Yamato.
He
felt alone, separated from the rest of the team by a thick wall of
glass. During recent years he had forgotten how it felt: Now, just
when he had come to think that he had found himself friends, that his
endeavors to make himself likeable had born him fruit, that he was
now accepted and could say good-bye to his loneliness, it had
returned, stronger and worse than ever.
Hinata
felt that he was troubled. „We care for you“, she said.
„We want you to stay alive.“
She
meant well, but her words only made the wall grow higher.
