The words come quickly and Sasuke is just as quick to hide his expression. If anything, the question only seems to amuse him. A faint scoff leaves him as he glances away toward the darkening horizon, as though the answer should be obvious to anyone with functioning eyes. "Because you're always wrong." The words land with effortless cruelty, delivered so casually it almost makes them worse. His gaze flicks back toward Naruto then, dark and cold and entirely unimpressed. "You rush into every situation shouting about friendship and promises and whatever stupid speech you've prepared this time. Then when things fall apart, you act surprised." A slight tilt of his head follows. "Someone has to think before they act." There is no real anger in him, no shouting, no frustration — just the same certainty that Naruto despises. "Besides," Sasuke continues quietly, folding his arms across his chest, "if I wasn't right so often, you would've gotten yourself killed years ago." The insult hangs there for a moment, and, then, almost as an afterthought— "You're welcome."

the doppelgänger is most commonly used to symbolize the divide between two egos, or a the grey line between good and bad. doppelgängers are extremely intelligent, and are able to manipulate a persons thoughts and feelings for their own benefit. while they are seen as a darker character, they are closer to being morally ambiguous, if not, someone who has been forced into a position they never agreed upon. doppelgängers wish they could do better, and often find themselves regretting not doing something. while they are capable of manipulating others, they are vulnerable, making themselves susceptible to being manipulated as well. although many of their traits are negative, they crave attention, validation, and wish they could be a better version of themselves. if you can get under their hard exterior, you'll find a true friend, and a loyalist.
