[The words are easy, like a sigh, and what Naruto means is I know why you're telling me it's okay. How long have they been living this way? How many sacrifices have they seen made, how many have they made themselves because of the shinobi way? The words had come from his own mouth more than once, about what it means to endure- but the more he sees of his friends here the more he questions it. Is this what remaking the world was supposed to be like? And if so- why does it look so much like the old one? Couldn't they change this part too? A few hours from now he'll be speaking to Sasuke and talking about Sarada then too. He'll say that there weren't supposed to be any more lonely children. He'll wonder at how they can call it a better future when they're trading the happiness of their families for peace.]
But in my heart, I feel like you've been saying words like that for a long time.

That you're always missing someone.
