Well, the difference between them and Taka is that those guys were idealists striving to make the world a better place. Maybe Naruto just respected how far they were willing to go to achieve their dream, just like he was?

Taka is just a group of thugs doing whatever And by 'just a group of thugs' you mean victims of Orochimaru and the general problems of the shinobi world, recruited by the guy they then proceeded to be astoundingly loyal to, risking their lives for him repeatedly? You know, the guy Naruto went to bat for and persuaded people that he ought to be forgiven? Gosh, it's almost like that guy's team-mates are being treated differently to him.

If Taka are 'just a group of thugs' that makes Sasuke just a thug too. And yet he gets regarded differently...
