sns is so fucking unhinged and nobody will ever be them i’m sorry. you start the series and it’s like oh haha look at these goofy angsty rivals! they hate each other! then sasuke dies for naruto thirty chapters in giving up his dream of revenge and naruto goes batshit insane. now you’re like ah they’re friends i guess that’s cute! and sasuke is trying to kill naruto because he’s the most important person in his life which is . ok and it becomes the driving force of everything or something. sasuke leaves and naruto dedicates the rest of his life to bringing him back and you’re still a casual fan so ur like he’s doing it for the promise right? then orochimaru says sasuke is his and naruto goes batshit insane feral homicidal (again) and after that sasuke reappears and they have ??? like five different panels dedicated to them staring at each other??? and he jumps off a mountain and hugs naruto for some reasons just to whisper some gay shit in his ear kishimoto frankly needs to be jailed drawing this and keep that best friend nonsense going. anyways. you have sasuke become a convicted terrorist to which the normal people response is “ok we need to hunt him down” and when naruto learns they’re gonna hunt him down he starts screaming crying throwing up he has a panic attack he can’t breathe he’s falling in the snow he gets on his knees and begs them to spare his BFF. after having a meltdown over the thought of sasuke dying what may possibly be the natural coping mechanism any stable person would adapt? of course realising that if sasuke dies he can die too. so he sees sasuke again and after he attempts murdering sakura twice and expresses the intent to murder kakashi he’s like. i will bear the burden of your hatred and die with you hehe and if we both die you won’t be an uchiha and i won’t be the jinchuuriki to the nine tails and we’ll be able to understand each other better in a different lifetime! WE’LL MEET AGAIN IN THE AFTERLIFE BECAUSE NOT EVEN DEATH CAN DO US PART! and sasuke (just as insane as him) doesn’t even flinch he’s like what the fuck is wrong with you but then ok let’s fuckingggf die together on my god i will kill your first anyways . then they find out they are soulmates and get cute matching tattoos on their hands and decide to fight to the death once more because sasuke is back on his i will shoulder all the hatred of the world alone and i need to kill you because i love you more than anyone else in the world actually you’re the only person i love so you need to DIE and naruto is like I WILL NOT LET YOU SHOULDER THAT HATRED ALONE I WILL FREE YOU FROM THE PAIN and they fight and despite all the whatever weapons used in the war it’s a fuckinggg fistfight in which just as sasuke is about to inflict what he thinks is the last blow says “farewell… my one and only…………………. (very long pause to accentuate how heteronormative this next word is gonna be) FRIEND” and fucking stops using his sharingan because not even then he can record the image of naruto dying especially by his hand but naruto STOPS HIM LIKE A f cHAMP and they end up blowing each other’s arms off (rip the matchies) and as they’re bleeding to the fucking death sasuke is like you’re the only person that has never tried to severe their ties with me why do you go so far for me and naruto from the depths of comphet hell is like because you’re my FRIEND and sasuke being absolutely done with this bullshit is like ok what the fuck does that mean to you then and this is where it gets even gayer and relatable because naruto is like i don’t KNOW i just know that when you hurt i hurt and i just can’t take it and isn’t that the most gay experience thing ever? naruto knows what it feels like to have friends but what he feels for sasuke is so bone deep and unconventional that he cannot make sense of it and can only describe the pain it brings. after that sasuke CRIES LIKE THEYVE GOT ME SOOO FUCKED UP but you know what got me even more fucked up?

naruto waking up bloodied and battered and half alive with one arm missing but still wondering if that was heaven because sasuke was next to him. sasuke looking so happy and peaceful when saying “i lost” as a stark contrast to him looking and feeling like half of his body was being torn apart when he “won” against naruto in vote1 and left him. the bitterness of victory vs the sweetness of losing if you will. AND HIM COMPARING WHAT HE FEELS FOR NARUTO TO PRAYING MY GODD. did i forget to mention that then we learn that Ohhh it was never a stupid shallow rivalry as we all thought! they have actually been watching each other from afar since they were little freshly traumatised children and have longed to hold each other’s hands since then! what was it sasukeeee you felt warm and fuzzy when you saw naruto to thought of it as a weakness? these two are so astronomically hopelessly desperately obsessed in love with each other it’s ridiculous i’ve had ENOUGH free me from this mental prison

Full offence a ship becoming end game means shit if it takes away from the character, their developed persona, and who they fundamentally represent to the story

Ok so I see the misconception that Sasuke is arrogant and over confident in thinking he can do it all alone and "pushing" every one away. But that is a major theme of the story line and relationship of SNS and their ideaology.

Naruto fundamentally believes that bonds make you stronger, that having friends beside you is not a show of weakness nor neediness. While Sasuke has adopted the exact opposite approach - having tasted the poison of loss, the inescapable (never quite able to catch your breath again) agony of losing precious bonds: he retreats and consumes that pain "This is another test, another trial, til I get justice for myself and my people."

This dichotomy is pretty set in stone for them both, if Naruto had not been so ravenously against Sasuke essentially committing self harm for power, Naruto STILL would be an obstacle for Sasuke, because Sasuke is in love with Naruto.

In his warped reality Naruto poses as the single greatest threat to his ultimate goal: relinquish all darkness and corruption by assuming that role, by making himself a living pariah, a self sacrifice of being totally alone and despised at the cost of making sure what happened to him and Naruto may never happen again.

Then here comes this flawed and beautiful boy, pouring his heart out: it says "forget the rest, remember that lonliness...that heart breaking lonliness.?" Naruto is literally made SICK at the concept of Sasuke being all alone and assuming the role he has planned, he legitimately faints, the pain too much... and as for Sasuke? Naruto is too grand a sacrifice to make, and every time he could have killed him, he simply cannot do it because all he sees at the last moment is that dorky boy, who for some reason won't give up on him.

When Sasuke says "I've lost." At the final valley, it was never about the physical fight it was the war against the ideal. Sasuke...doesn't want to be alone.

Sasuke wanted to heal his trauma the only way he knew how through Vengeance. Then this boy...this goofy, honest, wayward, silly, full error and quite frankly EMBARRASING noodle boy comes and says "no way, i love you too much for that." And that was the first time Sasuke realized, in his own way..

Naruto is in love with him too

I once saw someone say that Sasuke is a Seinen character trapped in a Shonen manga and you know what? That is the most accurate description of Sasuke I ever seen.

His story was always too mature and deep for the world Naruto’s personal story presented and I feel like that’s why he got saddled with that dumbass emo tag. He’s an outlier in the traditional Shonen rival formula because he has a character arc that does not revolve around Naruto. Sasuke honestly could’ve carried his own manga and I cry everyday over the fact that he was restricted into the world of Naruto.

funny how at the start of the series sasuke was proclaimed to be one of the smartest ninja of his generation but when he turned his wits against the State he suddenly transformed into madman whose ideas can’t be seriously considered by the narrative

Don’t give me one-sided unrequited love, give me two-sided unwanted love. Both sides are deeply in love with the other and both sides are like ‘fuck, really?? them??? really?’
