It's not a thing in Konoha to give your child the same name as someone else. Call it a courtesy thing, it's just not that common. That said, his own name is one of those few... and he's pretty sure there weren't any other Sasukes in the village. Especially not any others who were nukenin.
Only him.
So that battered and scratched headband this kid keeps clinging to is his?! ] Your shishou is--
[ This shouldn't be funny. It shouldn't be funny at all... except it's hysterical. Does Naruto know that there's a mini-ruto running around claiming that he's being taught by Sasuke of all people? He's laughing internally at this. No, wait, that sound he's making is laughter. He finds this whole thing stupidly hysterical. ] What makes you think he got lost? Maybe he woke up and realized there's nothing worth protecting in a village that hasn't changed from the way it was when he left the first time.
[ But as abruptly as that laughter started, it stops. The boy's answer is almost pathetic in its simplicity. ] A silly headband doesn't make you a shinobi, it's only a show of loyalty, like a clan emblem. [ He is so not one to talk on this, Mr. Must Put Uchiha Fan On Everything I Wear ] They don't make a good shinobi great, and they don't make a loser into anything more than a loser who can take a few more whacks to the forehead because of the metal plate.
