That I'm not so sure about. Naruto is just as likely to turn around and tell everyone not to touch him. Many Kohona nins likely won't harm Payne because so many of the good? Kohona nins have trust and respect in Naruto and his decisions.

It's one thing to preach, but quite another to put into practice. By not continuing the chain of hatred, the question isn't what Naruto is going to do, but what is Payne going to do?
