Teuchi's tale of how he met Naruto tugs at the heartstrings to the point of cardiac tearing. If viewed from the point of an unbiased citizen going about their life, such a situation could be no less than heartbreaking.
Sasuke asking the Third about what happened the night his family died. The moment when he starts crying again, perhaps the first time since the Massacre itself, is heartbreaking, and it hammers in the fact that he is a thirteen-year-old boy who just wants to make some sense out of the greatest tragedy in his life.
"I'm tired of seeing their faces when I fall asleep! What really happened to my family?"
The above example goes further when the Third quietly points out the oft-overlooked fact that the Masked Man didn't only hurt Naruto and Sasuke's families—he also killed the Third's wife to get to Kushina.
