I'm sure you have reason to think that. I don't know your history, and I'm not going to ask. But it's the same as everyone else here. They don't, or didn't, know it either, so all they see instead is someone who recklessly puts himself in danger and thinks about others before himself. Someone who has considered everyone's feelings even though we were nothing but strangers. The way you're so hurt by all this ... they see that good heart in you and want to help.
And that's why they care, Minato. You haven't given them any reason not to care. And you shouldn't go taking that for granted.
