It was irritating that he was always compared to the other. How did they do it and why? It had nothing to do with him. He had stolen his place on the team, he didn't like it at all. A strange, bad feeling came over him. It was not envy, no. I would never be jealous of anyone. It was Sasuke Uchiha. To top it off, Naruto and Sakura were far apart. They did not approach him, they seemed to be ... afraid. Fear. I wasn't sure. I needed to resolve the situation, bring them together again. And a mission to Kumogakure, showered with memories, was all he needed to understand himself. Not just with them.
