Anyways. This is deeply painful but I legitimately think that Taka was better for Sasuke than team 7, at least at the time. I think that Sasuke's dynamic with Taka and its members just helped him more. Having people like Suigetsu, Karin, and Jūgo around were what he needed. People who didn't care about Konoha, who weren't trying to tell him what to do or that he was making mistakes, and people who just stuck by him because they felt that was what they had to.
People who were just fucked up too. Who knew what it was like to have lost everything and who knew what it was like to want to take revenge. People who had dealt with Orochimaru and who knew what it was like to want to take power back.
Team 7 couldn't be what he needed at the time no matter how much he loved them and they loved him because they had such opposing goals and viewpoints at the time. Sasuke couldn't be what they needed and they couldn't be what Sasuke needed just because of what they had going on.
And it pains me greatly <3

• Naruto
Naruto on a swing with his head down. That swing... it is the same swing he used to sit on outside the academy, watching other kids chatting happily with their families. There was no one to call Naruto... Before he knew it Naruto was "disappearing'' from the swing. You don't care or notice if he's around and you don't care or notice if he's gone. Maybe the empty swing swaying in the wind was Naruto's "empty" presence, no one could ``see'' him or no one tried to "look" at him.
It must be painful to go out and see happy families playing with their children, buying candies and visiting them at their academy. However... Back then Naruto often went out of the house instead of being cooped up at home. When he goes out, he sees happy families and receives cold stares... and yet he goes out.
Even though Naruto knew it would be painful, he wasn't about to give up. He was looking for an opportunity to connect with others. He didn't care if others scolded him...he just wanted others to notice that he existed. No matter what the situation, Naruto is the one trying to find a connection with others on his own...that hasn't changed.
Because of his "loneliness'' he doesn't want to feel "lonely'' and he tirelessly tries his best to interact with others...and that's what Naruto is.
• Sasuke
The dishes piled up and covered with spider webs are a reminder that a considerable amount of time has passed since ``that day". But no matter how much time has passed, Sasuke's "time" is still standing still... the four people's chopsticks are still there and Sasuke doesn't even touch them. "On that day", time stood still.
In the flashback in volume 25, when Sasuke returned home alone after the incident... there was water dripping from the kitchen faucet in the empty house. There is a depiction of the echoing sound of dripping, but it gives the impression of a "terrifying silence". Sasuke's "empty heart" is beautifully depicted.
After that, Sasuke probably didn't go out and often stayed home alone. Even when he goes out, he doesn't seem to meet anyone.
Lying alone in a house that was too big for him to live in alone... We don't know if his eyes were closed or if he was staring at the ceiling, but Sasuke's eyes weren't looking at anything. He was looking at the past. He said, ``My dreams only lies the past", Sasuke was living in the ``past'' back then.
Back then, when he fight with Naruto in the academy to do 'sign of reconciliation', Sasuke's eyes seemed to be looking at Naruto, but not at him. Even back then, Sasuke's eyes were only focused on the past. Sasuke has always been in the past...
It is difficult for Sasuke to accept the "present (reality)" of loneliness when there is no one around, and he tries to cut off all connections with the outside world that make him feel the "present''. Sasuke often stays alone in his house, stuck in the ``past.'' Because he is lonely, he pushes himself even more into loneliness in order not to feel ``lonely.'' And that's what Sasuke is.
Naruto and Sasuke, their own ``loneliness''... the loneliness of being alone from the beginning, the loneliness of being alone after losing everything. Being alone, Naruto looked for a connection outside...Sasuke, who was lonely, didn't try to find a connection outside. Young Sasuke, who was ``trying to connect with his family inside the house,'' and young Naruto was trying to find a ``connection'' outside.
Both of them walk through their own loneliness, but in the end they connect with each other.

Naruto, who is walking alone, sees Sasuke sitting alone by the Lake. they noticed each other presence and turn their heads away, but then they catches a glimpse of their happy face and smile.
He has many memories in this lake pier and it was here that for the first time he received his father's acknowledgement. This place turns out to be the place where he got his bond for the first time. It turns out to be the most precious day of both of their lives.This is the first time Sasuke's eyes begin to look from the past to the present. And it is Naruto's presence brings him back from his loneliness. It was here that both acknowledged their loneliness, existence and presence. From that moment on, the two of them shared a sense of "loneliness" and understood each other's feelings.

Volume 38 is quite an interesting volume, and its cover is more like a romantic novel cover. Kishi gives it an orange sky background. Orange it is a warm and vibrant color that can help to convey excitement, action, attraction, fascination and energy. Orange color commonly used in movie posters because these colors can evoke feelings of warmth, passion, which are ideal for certain genres such as action or romance. Orange represents desire, passion, and love. And Orange symbolizes love and happiness.

In this volume we see naruto's longing for Sasuke. Naruto is very happy or satisfied knowing that his chakra nature matches Sasuke's fire type. He developed Rasen-Shuriken by continuously keeping Sasuke in his mind.
After being hospitalized due to the after-effects of using the Rasenshuriken, he and Sakura are alone here, this is his best chance to flirt with her, but he reverts back to Sasuke again. He is not worried about the consequences of using Rasenshuriken. Instead he emphasizes about how they're getting closer to Sasuke and is very happy about it.
In the previous scenario, Naruto was brainrotting about Sasuke, and when sai & sakura approached him he lied that he was devising a date with Sakura. If you say he lied because he didn't want to worry her about Sasuke…if that's the problem, then he shouldn't lie about dating her when he's thinking about another boy. He could have said, "I was just thinking about Sasuke…how to save him…blah blah blah…" Kishimoto could have easily done something like this, but he spent an entire page showing that Naruto lied about thinking about a date with a girl, but the fact is that he was thinking about a boy this whole time. To them, they don't know what's on his mind... but to the readers, it gives a hint that he's gay but closeted (trying to hiding it from others). His lying makes it more ambiguous and more obvious that he loves Sasuke...but not in a brotherly or friendly way.
While eating ramen with his teammates at Ichiraku, Naruto suddenly looked unhappy, quiet, depressed, and soulless.


Sasuke is what makes Naruto so determined. He developed the Rasenshuriken to save Sasuke from Orochimaru. He doesn't mind getting seriously injured while using his jutsu as long as he gets to closer to Sasuke and able to rescue him. So, when it comes to Sasuke, Naruto won't listen to anyone's advice to the contrary, no matter who gives it and how well-intentioned. That's why he suddenly shut Kakashi up with a smile.

Come to think of it, it wasn't the first time he shut others down when the subject was about Sasuke. Even though he was wrapped in bandages, his irritation was visible in his eyes. He doesn't care what happens to him, all that matters to him is Sasuke, which is why he doesn't like it when others try to get in between him and Sasuke or trying to stop him.
When Sasuke sees the bridge, he remembers Naruto and reacts to it with a calm gentle smile. While Sasuke is in his world of nostalgia he doesn't even hear Suigetsu talking to him.
Although the two do not interacting, yet, they are thinking about each other in this volume.

Other characters, including Sakura herself see her “love” for Sasuke as a burden. Whereas Naruto, wants to take on Sasuke’s burdens because he loves him.

we talk a lot about how sasuke and naruto are so crazy about each other but there’s never enough attention on how the rest of the naruto cast Also thinks they are two fucking lunatics. like we are not alone on this. you have jiraiya telling naruto he needs to not go and chase a mf who tried to snatch his heart out his ribcage and naruto is like no i’d rather be a fucking moron for the rest of my life honestly. you have naruto leaving a mission and saying sory i cannot stay i need to go home and wait for sasuke and the fucking platypus looks at him ???? like he even had me confused where are you goin g to wait? ? why are you saying that like sasuke is coming back the fuck did i miss??? you have the kage summit arc which is just a whole bucket of ice being dropped onto you because you come in and immediately get slapped in the face by naruto letting himself be beat up because he won’t tell them where sasuke is??? like he has any fucking idea where sasuke is. and sai tries to make him come to his senses like naruto??? naruto WHAT ARE U DOING. it’s so bad they need an intervention. right after that naruto faces the raikage and gets on his knees saying i know my almost boyfriend almost killed your brother but i promise it wasn’t on purpose he was just being silly please don’t put a bounty on his head a war will literally ensue. and like. there’s LAYERS to this. 1. even RAIKAGE is like BOY what are you doing. STAND UP. 2. at this point you can count the people who like sasuke on the fingers of one hand like WHO is gonna start a war over him… naruto out there moving a war against a whole country by himself over his bf ok you go girl i guess. after this it gets even worse like gaara has to go up to him and be like SASUKE DOWSNT CARE ABOUT YOU. HE DOES NOT WANT YOU. and naruto just slaps his hand away in front of his family like rude?????? ignoring anything it is hilariouuusssss and then sai is like sorry. sakura lied to you they are actually off to kill sasuke and naruto gets a panic attack so severe he passes out. like i am not joking it was so bad his friends tried to kill sasuke behind his back. and then naruto escapes bedriddenment (is that a word?) after passing out from his panic attack to run and make sure NOBODY kills sasuke. like he’s on a RUSH leaping those trees he’s a boy on a mission. then after he gets there he’s like kakashi DO NOT TOUCH HIM. they launch themselves at each other bla bla gay monologues did you see what was in my heart and then. and then naruto is like. wait sasuke. and sasuke waits like sorry that’s such a little thing but it’s so funny to me like sasuke was just acting a lil murderous crazy manic wtv but naruto told him to wait and he waits. ok good boyfriend. anyways moving on naruto is like do you get it sasuke. if we fight again we will BOTH DIE! (everybody gets a ?????? bubble) i am the only one who can shoulder all that hatred. i will CARRY THE BURDEN OF YOUR HATRED AND WE WILL DIE TOGETHER! and . absolutely Everybody in that room just goes ???????????? what the FUCK is he TALKING ABKHT. everybody except sasuke. sasuke smirks and he’s like sure. they just talked about dying together and meeting each other in a different life where they’ll be free of their burdens and they’re just Fine and all ok smiling at each other and everyone is so fucking confused. like the entire supporting cast is with us side eyeing sasuke and naruto and thinking what in the everloving FUCK is WRONG WITH YOU????????

so so so tired of peope whining about sasuke trying to kill sakura. did yall forget why sakura was there in the first place???? hello???? why is her deciding to kill sasuke "because she loves him and its her duty to save him from the darkness", basically wanting to put him down like some rabid dog, perfectly acceptable, but sasuke attacking her back while in a shaken emotional state is oh so abusive??? theyre not even in a relationship at that point. he cut ties with her already. this is not personal on sasukes part (unlike the other way around lmao. seriously, sakura would count as the ""abusive"" one here if we judge by her motivation)
