I mean, they meant it as a joke. 

I disagree that Sasuke made “stupid” decisions. I think he made predictable decisions considering how heavily manipulated he was by literally everybody around him. But I digress.

Also, Itachi was really awful to Sasuke a lot of the time in his quest to keep him “safe and secure”. He traumatized and re-traumatized him multiple times– making him relive the deaths of his parents over and over on separate occasions, telling Sasuke he was only allowed to live because he’s unworthy of being killed by Itachi, brainwashing him onto the path of revenge, and he came extremely close to literally forcing Sasuke to align with Konoha via mind control with Shisui’s eye in the crow he planted in Naruto. And why? Because he “loves” Sasuke and wants Sasuke to bend to his will and submit to the way of thinking that Itachi curated for him because Itachi felt that he knew what was best for Sasuke. In the end, Itachi apologized for everything and changed his way of thinking and pulled away from trying to control Sasuke, and I do understand that Itachi was also manipulated (in fact, I’ve written quite extensively on it), but he definitely had an obsession with Sasuke that was extremely detrimental to Sasuke’s well-being regardless of Itachi’s intentions.

As for Naruto… if you’ve followed me a long time you’ve probably already seen some of my thoughts on why Naruto is bad for Sasuke. I have links to several of those here if you’re interested in reading about it. Naruto thinks he knows what is best for Sasuke even if he doesn’t. I’ve expressed my incredulity over this before but it still makes me angry so I’ll reiterate it– not only does he disrespect Sasuke’s wishes and goals and actively try to stop him from pursuing them, but he insists that he is doing it as a friend. Like– guys, seriously, try to grasp how nonsensical that is. Not only does he insist that Sasuke bend to his will, but he also insists that he and Sasuke have a good relationship at the end of it. Like. Like?? Naruto is controlling (like Itachi) and he thinks he cares about Sasuke’s wellbeing but what he really cares about is making Sasuke fit in to Naruto’s own vision for the world. The only time this wasn’t true was when he decided that he and Sasuke would just die together, but even then, he was deciding Sasuke’s fate for him and insisting that he knew best and that he was doing it as a friend. Naruto prioritizes his relationship with Sasuke over his relationship with anyone else including people who actually want relationships with him, he chases Sasuke despite being told to stop multiple times, and he clings to a fantasy of how he wants his relationship with Sasuke to be and prioritizes that fantasy over Sasuke’s actual circumstances and reality (like Sakura). So, yeah, regardless of Naruto’s intent and whether or not it’s good, his relationship with Sasuke isn’t healthy and it qualifies as an obsession too in my opinion. 

As for whether or not Sasuke would bother with restraining orders– lol, yeah, he wouldn’t. Not necessarily because of pride but more because honestly what reason does Sasuke have to trust the law to protect him =P
