Chapter 17: The Almost Rehearsed Answer
Maki had never seen a smile disappear as fast as she witnessed Naruto's. Was it even there? For a brief moment she thought Naruto was going to kick her out for asking something so simple. She only wanted to know because of the way Sasuke looked longingly at her door a couple of hours earlier. And now she sort of regretted it.
Maki didn't know what it was, but she definitely hit an open wound when she asked that question – a large one.
"Sasuke was…he…he was…"
"Naruto…"
"Sasuke believed in doing what was best for him and I supported him."
