hi guys,as we all know naruto has gone to extreme lengths to "save" sasuke,such as taking punches for him,crying,and hyperventillating and eventually collapsing in the snow. The thing is sasuke was not even that good a friend of naruto at all. shikamaru and chouji were about the only ones he played with during the academy days. they formed a little prank team and played after school. sasuke on the other hand never gave him any attention,saw him as a nuisance while naruto hated sasuke and always tried to pick fights with him(to no result) as seen here.

but that is not the point here.The question is if pre time skip shikamaru or chouji left the village to train with orochimaru instead of sasuke at the time, would naruto go to such extreme lengths to "save" them. i don't think so. Is it because he was his rolemodel?

Yes. What people don't know is that Shikamaru is just as much of a best friend to Naruto as Sasuke is, as Naruto pretty much proved in the manga.

He would go to extreme lengths to save anyone. Just that the lengths he would go won't be as extreme as if he were to try and save someone from team 7.

I agree with you Naruto does posses an unhealthy obsession for sasuke and sakura. He probably cares about them more than he does minato and kushina. His own parents!:eek:

interesting question. I believe that since he was part of team 7 at the time was one of the reasons.
another reason would be that naruto felt he was similar to sasuke in a way that they did not have parents and were lone in their childhood.

But i am certain that since shikamaru or choji would be chase by naruto in the same manner that he chased sasuke because they are still his comrades, extreme measures, like when he went fox mode to save hinata just by seeing her hurt.

He knows Sasuke and Sakura for years, not minutes like his parents.

Still. They weren't exactly the nicest people to him. Knowing people who only started to be nice to him under a year ago cannot be compared to knowing his parents who loved him always for a few minutes. I mean didn't he say he always wished to have parents?

Naruto connected with Sasuke in a much more profound way than he did with anyone else. Sasuke was his teammate as well as his greatest rival, the standard goal that Naruto worked at to attain. Sasuke was the only other person who knew the pain of isolation (first step of the hero formula). Part of his obsession also came from the simple fact that Sasuke had left and Naruto was unable to stop him.

So no. Probably not.

All this stuff is meaningless, because if we examined this issue than we will realise , that Sasuke was never his friend. I don´t like that Naruto done all these things for Sasuke. He should treated him like villain and kill him.

No, Naruto explained that he feels a special bond with Sasuke (most likely due to them being transmigrants), that he doesnt really feel with anyone else.

True, he views all his friends as precious nakama, but he said Sasuke feels closer to him, almost like the closest thing he ever had to a brother

Yah I think he would go though extreme lengths for Shikamaru. I mean look how far he went for Gaara, who wasn't even from the same village as him and was also a childhood enemy.

Naruto has the Savior Architype. Though his fixation on Sasuke might be seen as somewhat unhealthy, Naruto would go the mile for anyone he calls a friend.

That's because you only think about it based on your personal experiences and beliefs, rather than attempting to understand those of other people.

Just one mistake.Naruto and Sasuke have a special bond of acknowledgement between each other. Naruto acknowledges Sasuke likewise Sasuke does with Naruto. It's not true they aren't friends.He already was the one to feel that they are Asura and Indra before Hagoromo told them.

I don't know about you, but I really wouldn't care a whole lot about my dead parents as compared to my, what would be considered, family now.
