[ Which, now that he thinks about it, is a funny thought. That something so powerful needed them. ]
[because a. his family is dead; b. he doesn't have very many living friends; c. several friends, living and dead, apparently followed him here.
all in all, it was mostly positive things that happened back home, though. he had the hokage title all but thrust upon him, but they won the war, so it balances out.

[ Man, he is just not having in any luck with saying the right thing today
every day.He looks away briefly. ]
