I tried anyway. [He looked away, shoulders slumping.] I managed to protect him all of... twice, ever. Then I died. After having my Sharingan one whole day.
You have no idea how much flack not getting it sooner got me Sasuke, it was rough. It's why I picked up the goggles you know. So some of the meaner cousins wouldn't pull tricks on me and get me stuck in some genjutsu because I couldn't catch it immediately. And then the team too...
There's always someone out there you feel like you're not good enough for, or you have to pass, and when you catch the first one, you'll just be chasing the next one.
