I completely agree. Naruto needs to grow a pair... there are times when difficult decisions need to be made. Why the hell is he holding back Kakashi, the leader of the squad and putting him in a vulnerable position against an S-ranked ninja? Naruto's "little friendly interests" need to be put aside for now; Konoha's interests and the Shinobi world's interests are whats important right now. And that is to kill Sasuke Uchiha. SimpleI said it in another post but ill say it here to. Naruto is being a selfish idiot. Sasuke is an enemy of Konoha. He has killed a Hokage (even if he tricked his way in Danzo WAS named 6th Hokage) and has stated the he will kill everyone in Konoha to "purify" and restore the Uchiha clan. He attacked the raikage's brother in Kumo. He is working with Uchiha Madara. Naruto claims to want to be Hokage. He needs to starting working for Konoha's best interests, not what he desires.
He should learn the lesson taught by his fathers example, for the good of Konoha, he gave his soul to the shinigami and burdened his son with the Kyuubi. Did he WANT to die? Did he want his son to be hated? Since Gaara wasnt the first ichibi jinchuriki he had to of known how they were treated.... Did he WANT his son to grow up without his father? Im going to take a leap of faith and say no. But for the good of the village he put aside HIS desires and did what was needed. Naruto needs to do the same. If he cant figure it out himself then someone else needs to point that out.
I truely hope this isnt going to end with naruto saving sasuke, them beating madara together, returning to Konoha, and they all live happily ever after, Naruto as Hokage, with his "best friend" as his most trusted advisor with peace reigning in the elemental nations.....
