CyberianGinseng wrote: Everything Naruto did after Sasuke left the village would've been impossible to explain without this friendship nonsense. This was explained from a few angles in the Manga. But primarily, Naruto believes that if he can't save a teammate, he's not really worthy of being the savior of prophecy. The second angle implies that Naruto was able to feel Sasuke's pain (Whether you attribute it to the Transmigration or to Kurama's emotion sense or simply a similar situation).

But it was very much a bridge for naruto to cross, that he had to save Sasuke to prove himself, but he also felt he was Sasuke's Iruka so to speak. It's clear that Naruto saw far more friendship in their relation than Sasuke (Although being mentally and emotionally tortured by your elder brother and having survivor's guilt doesn't exactly make him mentally healthy, so it's not that strange that Sasuke was fucked up)

It's just that Part II has more misses (and also is bigger) so people tend to see Pt1 as much better. Even though it contained immensely annoying and bad stuff like Inner Sakura. Fixing the problems of part II would have to start with part one.

For instance, the whole Rasenshuriken Training exposition should've been done halfway part 1, at the latest. (Around/shortly after Chunin exams, justabout).
