[She's struck dumb for a few minutes. How dare he call her out on her hypocrisy when she was trying to give him a pep talk... that was probably doomed to failure anyway. But when she finally replies, she looks kinda peeved.]

You were the first to tell me anything about you being directly involved, y'know! Not Naruto, not Tsunade-hime, not even Minato. That was a whole lot of information to swallow all at once! In case you forgot, I had only been in this place for a month at the time. I had the Kyuubi ripped from me and I died right before I got here. I remembered you as you were when I got here. I remembered a great kid with a dream to become Hokage that I knew was possible! And then you were telling me you as good as killed me?! That you attacked our home and everyone in it?! That you started a war?! What would you have done in my place?! Tell me!

[The bright purple of her eyes may as well have been fire, the way they were blazing. And maybe they shone a little brighter, almost as if they were wet. Which... may or may not have been related to the way her voice cracked on "Tell me!"]

I'm trying to come to terms with it, but it's not easy, ya know! Maybe it looked like I gave up on you, but sometimes I thought about talking to you again. So I didn't do it, but for the entire time that we've been traveling in different places, not a single day went by that you didn't suddenly appear in my thoughts!
