With no intention of coming back.

[Naruto purposefully leaves a lot out here; how they fought, how he chased and chased after Sasuke and failed each time, how Sasuke killed a temporary Hokage.]

There's a lot that happened in Konoha that you and Dad missed out on. [He still doesn't blame Sasuke for doing what he did.]

But. He came back. That's why it's a big deal.
