Author's Note: I truly admire Naruto.
--
It wasn't that he lost the fear to go risking his life for him that made him courageous, not at all.
What made him a true hero was the fact that he'd risked everything in total fear of his life, of losing this battle; but that he'd made Sasuke more important than he himself. Unlike everyone else, Naruto did this out of love. He struggled and nearly lost it all, and he feared that. But he walked into this with fear and love not knowing if he would succeed. That's what made him a hero. That was courage.
"Courage is the discovery that you may not win, and trying when you know you can lose."
