[Itachi's face does not display a reaction, as always when dealing with the older Uchiha.]
I do not see what this has to do with anything. A dream is nothing more than impulses sparking across the brain as it files away the information of the day into the categories it has previously created.
Otherwise I would be more discerning and question your own.
[ Naruto remembers that face, those words. He remembers well the emotions that welled up in his chest at the time he said them, the very same now rising from a simmer to a full boil as he closes the distance between himself and the tabletop upon which the Hitomi rests. He plants his hands on either side of the device, piercing the screen with the intensity of his gaze. ]
You!
[ There is an edge to his voice as he says the word, danger lacing the statement finely. He remembers that day, that encounter. And Sasuke. He had been so close to finding Sasuke. Would have found him, would have brought him home had it not been for this man. ]
[This boy... This child is who he has willingly placed his faith in--the one who has sworn to "save" his brother, even if only from himself, who has refused to bow to the rules of logic and reality, and who has the conviction and potential to actually stand by the fantastical promises he makes--and even now he does not think he will regret that choice.
But things have changed. Itachi is not dead--at least not in here and now--and Sasuke knows the Truth. This has not changed his brother's feelings towards him, and he is not sure if it ever will, but now he is placed in a position where he does not need someone else to protect his brother because he is not there to do so, he no longer needs the wild card he has given this man-child--hidden within him hoping he would never need it, that it would never come to that--at least not in the primary capacity that he had prepared his back-up plan for. No, Naruto does not need to protect his little brother, because even though Sasuke may never forgive him--or ever willingly be

You're supposed to be dead, so why aren't you?!
