[ Why in the world would Naruto think that he actually wants to fight until he loses limbs? He kind of needs those! And what if this time, it's a leg? Or both arms? Why is it so important that they keep doing this same song and dance? ]
Are you crazy?!
[ Why is he fighting? It's not a search for power anymore. Revenge against the very world they lived in? The desire to bring about a revolution and force change, to be that darkness which holds everything together through a mutual hatred and fear... but for what? The world that needs changing is not the world they're currently residing in. The bijuu, with the exception of the Kyuubi, aren't there. There is no Infinite Tsukiyomi holding the world hostage. Even the Naruto in front of him isn't the same, living proof that he probably failed at what he set out to do.
So what is it he's fighting for?
The Kyuubi-enhanced fist connects hard, his head snapping to the side as the force of it throws him backward. It's the price for allowing his thoughts to get muddled, distracting him from the task at hand. A tree catches him, keeping him from slamming into the ground and rolling, the trunk snapping under the weight of impact. He's pretty sure he can feel his bones grating together, can tell where the bruises will appear. Still, he pulls himself out of the tree trunk to get to his feet again. He should be better than this, not faltering and stumbling like some silly kid fresh out of the Academy.
It's not worth it. ]
What the hell is wrong with you?
[ The whole goal of this ordeal was just to punch him in the face for leaving and coming back, for making him lose an arm that he hasn't lost yet, for anything and everything up to this point. It's a goal that he wants to see through to the end.
Another headlong rush to meet him, only this time he's a bit more careful - attacking head-on is an idiot's move. As soon as he's close enough, fist drawn back, fully intent on making this time count, he takes the gamble and uses the rinnegan to jump himself to Naruto's left side. A surprise attack... which limits him to one more use of that eye before he can't use it again until it recharges. ]
