[Well, yes. It was the better choice. He would have switched places with Hinamori in a heart beat if he'd been able, just as he would have done for Sasuke, as he'd succeeded in doing once.
He was on the verge of countering (when did Sasuke get so angry about this?), telling him he would have just had to stop anyone else who wanted to go in after him, but Sasuke was one of those people who would have done just that. That would have been as good as saying that even after Sasuke had gotten him back on track, he would've been willing to ditch him and leave him helpless on the path outside. Maybe the problem here was that he really would have been willing.
His tone when he answered was subdued but firm.]
