#sasuke is in love with sakura

[sushi-attacks]

Prompt: Sakura and Sasuke go on an assassination mission - and she has to seduce and flirt with her target. He wasn't emotionally prepared so to say. Let's say he was jealous but also protective of her. Now they've returned.

This is just a snippet from a thought I had. It won't be a full story. Be free to use it if you'd like.

"This mission needed a kunoichi of her calliber." Kakashi released a sigh. It was 8 in the morning and he already had too much on his plate. And now his former student stormed in his office with a deadly aura, demanding answers.

"But it had to be her?" Sasuke's eyes flashed in anger and contempt.

"And the protocol says that this type of mission will be executed only and only by a kunoichi who is not in an established relationship and that means a love relationship soon to be married or already married. She is single. And-"

"SHE WON'T BE." 

his eyes flashed dangerously, his voice filling the room, stopping Kakashi in his tracks.

Silence filled suddenly in the room.  Kakashi was stunned and stopped altogether. Sasuke didn't waver, but carried himself with certainty and resolution. He has already had this conversation with himself and he didn't had to admit anything to himself. No. He was determined and more sure than he ever was.  It just that this is the first time he admited in front of another person. He loves Sakura Haruno and this is a major part of why he has returned. His motivation.

"So you'd better not assign her those mission anymore." 

Kakashi had enough time to recover from these news. His eyes crinckled with a smile and something like glee flashed in his eyes.

"Nee, Sasuke, you're acting like a cave man" he started with a smirk.

Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"Just do it."

He was already turned ready to reach for the door like he was already bored of this conversation. He had better things to do. Like looking for a certain pink-haired kunoichi. He was sure that she was already at the hospital, even though they arrived from their mission this morning. He had to make sure that she has at least eaten something, because he knew damn well that he wouldn't have the chance to make her or even dare to suggest to rest, if he didn't want to unleash her anger.

"I'm glad. It was about time. She deserve it. You both deserve it." Kakashi spoke with an almost fatherly voice. "Be happy, Sasuke."

"Aa"

It's canon that Naruto is the sun and Sasuke the moon but has anyone thought of Sakura as the Earth? Here's my take on that :3

Students' Students AU part 3

Part 1 and Part 2

So Sakura starts studying by following Shizune's instructions and reading any book suggestion she can get her hands on. Much like Sasuke being trained by Anko as a bonus for his cursed mark, at first she's still Kakashi's student and only asking for Shizune's help on her free time. (And Naruto at this point is already being taken around on small missions with Jiraya).

Soon enough Shizune decides she's ready for some practice and in no time Sakura starts showing results. That's when she invites Tsunade to take a look at her progress.

Tsunade is quite please and surprised by it, and officially assigns Sakura to train under Shizune (she's hokage she doesn't have all that time, and who's better to pass down her teachings than her own student).

Sakura will also train more taijutsu in the following years (and Tsunade could take some time here and there to give her some tips) so that she's not only in the back waiting for her teammates to get hurt. Sakura wants to fight, she wants to become strong to protect her friends.

Bonus (watch out Kakashi):

sos month day 10: rivalry

let's be real, the pool of other people fighting for sakura's (romantic) attention is not that big. in fact, it's just those three. and they're very insistent on making their distaste for the latest member of the pool known!!

My headcanon on their relationships.

I think Konoha is homophobic and Naruto didn't know how to interpret his feelings so he did based on what he saw around.

Gai and Kakashi are the healthiest Rivalry in Naruto

In Naruto, rivalry is a key component of the show. Showcasing how it can uplift and destroy the characters, their bonds and inpact their psyche.

In most rivalries, there is an end goal in mind, where a victor must exist and someone must lose something for the other to gain:

Sakura Vs. Ino was about who could attract the attention of a boy

Gaara Vs. Lee is a classic battle of Talent Vs. Hard Work.

Obito Vs. Kakashi was a one sided duel about Obito trying to get others to see him by dragging Kakashi down.

Hashirama Vs. Madara is the climatic battle of two people born into war, and both trying to find a way to end the cycle and coming to two different conclusions

Naruto Vs. Sasuke starts as a classic battle of fighting the strongest kid on the playground for dominance, and slowly evolves into a battle of wills to decide the best way to lead the world.

In most of these, friendships are built and destroyed over the rivalries. Some recover, others don't. But there's always an end goal in mind. Pulling the other down so the victor can stand above them. Proving their point with their physical prowess. Sometimes its about changing the perspective another holds, other times its proving ones worth, but no matter the battle, the end result is all about defeating their opponent to raise themselves in some way.

Which is where Gai and Kakashi's rivalry stands out amongst the rest. At first glance, it may be like Neji and Lee's rivalry, genius vs. hard work. Or maybe like Obito, people may think Gai is trying to defeat Kakashi to gain status, self worth or to improve his ego, but that's not the case.

The thing that changes Gai and Kakashi's rivalry, is that theirs is about raising one another up, not tearing each other down.

When Gai was young, he wanted to meet Kakashi's standards, and so he started challenging him. Like other rivals on the list, he thought he could defeat his Kakashi to prove himself and strengthen his beliefs on hard work vs. Genius... until the day he saw Kakashi training by himself...

Seeing how hard Kakashi pushed himself to stay on top, changed Gai's initial beliefs and made it go from wanting to take Kakashi down... to wanting to stand beside him.

Soon after, the challenges went from trying to defeat Kakashi, to a battle of understanding him. His challenges were no longer about just physical powress, but turned into games from eating competitions, to rock paper scissors, to silly dance offs. And with every new challenge, Gai learned more about Kakashi.

Wanting to win was still an aspect, the two do love to compete to win. But losing was no longer a consequence ro rheir core beliefs or self worth. Sure Gai added stipulations to his losses, but those to were to help self improve and regain focus. To make himself better to stay equal with his rival.

More than that, Kakashi also had to learn to lose with Gai. In doing so... he learned it was okay to fail. That not everything would have devastating consequences if he was not the best. The show never dives into this, but for someone who was forced to become a child soldier, and who learned that failure could equal death at a young age, thst losing could mean a loss of prestige or position... to be able to be challenged by Gai, eventually start losing often... was to realize it was safe to fall. That he could lose a challenge and his friend wouldn't even mock him if he won. For soneone eho must have had a bunch of rivals who try to tore him down (like Obito) this must have been so refreshing.

In the end, their rivalry works so well, because its about raising the other up. Gai can help see where Kakashi is at mentally in their challenges and get him out of his head to help Kakashi relax by allowing him to play. Whwre at first Kakashi helped Gai improve his skills as a child, and then helped him push past his limits as an adult. To validate his friend's hard work and dedication, as well as to just enjoy time together.

Their makes them better people, helps them compete and check in with one another, lets them bond. They learn more about one another and their own short comings through their challenges, and it lets them communicate in a way without putting the other down. No other rivalry in the show does this. For them its about friendship, comradery, and being there for each other in a way no one else on the list is.

Its one of the most beautiful things Kishimoto created in his works.

Sakura shoulda had her big axe ☹️

Shippuden is a ride

[bitemecandy]

I’ve been in a Naruto mood lately.

I think Sakura should have received praise when she had climbed the tree first on the wave mission instead of Kakashi using her as means to get the boys to compete with each other.
