Naruto: The Wind Calamity

"Hmm…"

Yoshi stared thoughtfully at Sasuke, who became a bit concerned. He asked, "Why are you looking at me like this?"

Yoshi answered, "Well, your body is alright. There are no physical injuries. However, you seem extremely tense, showing signs of several types of mental traumas…"

He thought, 'He was subject to more intense Genjutsu torture than Kakashi. And, it was done by none other than his older brother, the person who slaughtered every ninja in the Uchiha clan along with his parents. So, this is inevitable. Even though Lady Tsunade healed him, she can't treat something like this in a short time…'

Sasuke got off the bed and said, "I told you nothing's wrong with me. I can handle myself…"

Before he could leave the room, Yoshi shook his head and said, "You're wrong. Though it is often overlooked, the mental health of a ninja is critical considering what we have to go through on a daily basis. If you aren't in the right state of mind, you may make foolish decisions which would not only hurt you but also your close ones."

He let out a sigh and his following words stopped Sasuke in his tracks! Yoshi continued, "Unfortunately, many ninjas ignore it and end up doing something very foolish. Perhaps that may be a reason why your older brother did something as drastic as he did. If his mental state had been checked, he may not have done what he did."

Sasuke turned around and shouted, "You don't know anything about Itachi! He's not some victim of his own mind, but a monster! A cold-blooded murderer who slaughtered my clan without a second thought! Don't try to make excuses for him, he's beyond saving!"

Sasuke completely lost his cool. However, Yoshi wasn't bothered. On the contrary, he understood Sasuke. He nodded and said, "Perhaps that might be the truth. However, I can't take a risk in you doing something like what he did. While I believe you won't do anything to your remaining clanmates, I can't say for sure that you won't do something that'll harm you."
