It was a shitty position to be in, which is why Itachi entrusted it only to himself. Besides, the point was that his intentions in the end were good, not that his actions necessarily were.

Ancladar wrote: Sasuke should have been in a mental hospital after the massacre of his clan. Nope. Sasuke was doing fine in team 7. It's orochimaru's interventions that screwed him up further. Starscream1998 wrote: I must admit though the lack of psychotherapy Sasuke got after the massacre is astonishing stupid on the leaf's part although Sasuke is probably too stubborn an ass to let anyone help him. It's fairly clear that things like an orphanage and proper mental health weren't really things in Konoha, or the world. I guess Naruto is a cautionary tale on good aftercare for veterans?
