Being concerned for a friend or upset that a friend has taken that far of a jump of the deep end isn't getting "stuck on stupid". Naruto had no friends prior to Iruka and Sasuke (later Sakura, Kakashi, and everyone else). To him, Sasuke represents the start of when his life started to improve for the better.

Its natural for a person (a person with any sort of heart) to be upset like Naruto was. And yes, extreme emotions can cause someone to hyperventilate and collapse.

I get so tired of the "Naruto is dumb for caring about Sasuke" arguments. Naruto is an idiot. No one contests that. Sasuke is a douche. No one contests that. But being concerned for a friend to the degree Naruto is for Sasuke is something I wish I saw more often in real life. Maybe if people weren't so quick to kick others to the curb, we wouldn't see so many of the psychopaths we do roaming the streets these days. /rant
