@Greatestsin and @Gemnist They're are two translations in chapter 695. One says that Naruto says Sasuke was his closest friend and the other only. Either way that's a lot to go about. Its funny that Naruto's "friend" is his closest or only but so far away. Naruto has a little boy crush and after that kiss they had he became obsessed. He was his first. Sasuke literally treated him like a crap. But the people who didn't and formed a bond wasn't his closest. Iruka, Hinata, etc. A rival is one thing. A friend is another. I think Kishi is trying to sugar coat how Naruto really feels.
