Hii

We're not dead, we're just extremely exhausted (being an adult sucks). We'll be back posting as soon as we don't feel that capitalism is sucking the life out of us!!!

[itsorangeandpurple]

First arc, Zabuza.

Team 7 goes on their first mission where they have to protect an old man from some evil people blah blah. The first important events here for Naruto's and Sasuke's relationship is the first battle against Zabuza, where Naruto starts getting serious about not being left behind, and he even hatches a plan to defeat Zabuza, which Sasuke abides without much hesitation, deciding to trust Naruto.

Later on, they learn how to control their chakra. Sakura seems to be the best one at this, controlling her chakra perfectly and reaching the top of the tree as it was instructed by Kakashi, however, Sasuke and Naruto seem to struggle. This leads to a competition between them in which Naruto starts seeing Sasuke as his goal to beat. The two of them start to spend extra time training and practicing together. Naruto is not scared of showing his inexperience, but Sasuke is. So that when he sees that Naruto asks Sakura for advice, moments later he gets the courage to ask Naruto as well, showing us how, even though Sasuke is talented and goal focused, he also has his struggles, and he is cappable of letting go of his ''perfection'' once he starts to know and get comfortable with his team, and, especially, Naruto. We see how they start trusting each other as a team, how they get to know each other's strenghts and weaknesses. They spend a lot of time together, specially Naruto and Sasuke, and, by the time we reach the end of this arc, we're able to see how much they have grown on each other and how much they care for each other.

Although, for now, Naruto feels that he is competing against Sasuke for which one of them is the best ninja. These feelings of wanting to beat the other guy on your team feel pretty normal for a kid, and they are, but this will also be the start of Naruto's fixation with Sasuke, turning him into his goal, turning him into everything he can think about, just beating him, being better than him, proving him he is as good as him, showing him he is valuable, showing him he is loveable. Naruto doesn't notice for a while the real reason he does all the things he does to get Sasuke's attention every time. Right now, he just thinks he can also be as good as Sasuke to prove everyone that they were wrong, and that Naruto is also capable of everything.

The next important event happens at Naruto's and Haku's meeting. Haku finds Naruto training very hard, for which he asks him the reason for it. Naruto answers, of course, that he wants to get very strong so that he can be acknowledged by the village, and also to prove to Inari that heroes do exist. This, we already knew since the moment they stablished their goals as ninjas, so his answer doesn't surprise the reader.

Which surprises the reader, though, is how Haku adds something new, he asks if he's doing it for himself or for someone else, and then he asks him is he has someone important for him. Then Haku says that when you have someone important for you, someone that you want to protect is when you get trully strong. After his words, Naruto gets a series of flashbacks in which he sees events where people had drawned strength from where there was none to protect their loved ones. Iruka protecting him, Naruto protecting Iruka, Inari's father proctecting his son and Kakashi protecting his team. These actions are not romantically drived, but they all grow from a feeling of care and affection. Haku speaks about a deep bond, someone you were willing to die for just to protect them.

But the importance of this scene does not lie in the message itself, but the timing of it. This happens just a few scenes before the final battle against Zabuza and Haku. This conversation happens to emphathize what will happen at that battle and to make the reader understand the lenghts of Naruto's and Sasuke's bond.

At this battle, Sasuke sacrifices himself to save Naruto from Haku's attack. As we see, it's not a minor act coming from Sasuke, it is charged with simbolysm by that scene between Haku and Naruto, but also because of when, why and how it happens, as well as how the scene is drawn. Since Sasuke's sacrifice remembers us of those flashbacks Naruto had while conversing with Haku.

It's clear then that Kishimoto's intention was to show the reader how Naruto is Sasuke's important person, the person he wants to protect and is willing to die for.

Now, analysing this scene, we see two 12 year old manga kids in their first life or death situation. It's very stressfull and Naruto and Sasuke are both trapped inside Haku's Jutsu. Here, Haku says how this is nothing personal, but a clash of dreams. Haku's dream to protect Zabuza, Naruto's dream of becoming Hokage and Sasuke's dream of revenge.

Sasuke is so worried and stressed that he awakens his sharingan for the first time.

Haku, seeing this, decides to end the fight before Sasuke is able to see his attacks. So, in view that he can't attack Sasuke, he decides to attack Naruto instead. Sasuke sees how this attack will kill Naruto and, without much thinking, his first instinct is to run and protect him from it, sacrificing himself. Sasuke even thinks to himself ''damn! please make it in time!'' showing how desperate he is to save him. This is such an important action coming from Sasuke. We see how he is able to let go of his goal, his revenge, just to save Naruto, someone that, for the average reader, is just an annoying kid to him. So why would he sacrifice himself and his dream for someone that he didn't care much about? It just doesn't make sense.

Sasuke loves Naruto, as his best friend, as the first person who has made him feel something other than pity and anger, and also, as his crush. Because the feelings that Sasuke experiments are not related to familiar ones, such as Iruka's or Inari's father, nor ''person in charge'' as Kakashi's. His feelings are drived by love, and that is also why he awakened his sharingan, as we know that the Uchiha's are cursed because of their devotion to love, awakening their Sharingan due to the despair of losing a loved one. In Sasuke's case, the idea of losing Naruto.

I'm living for these analyses! I don't have the words but I have the feelings yknow 😚👌 Beautiful ✨

Thank you so much! 🥰🥰🥰

[itsorangeandpurple]

Now we get to one of my favourite parts of the manga.

Sasuke sets himself free and goes out to look for Naruto. He finds Sakura, of course, waiting for him, and when Sasuke only asks about the whereabouts of Naruto, she starts rambling about how annoying he is and how his abnormal childhood makes him terrible, basically. At this, Sasuke seems very annoyed, and his first answer is that Naruto doesn't have any parents.

Sasuke is visibily upset by Sakura's words and attitude

So he says this, defending Naruto and empathising with him. Sasuke in not angry at Sakura because he feels that his situation is the same as Naruto's; he has had parents and a brother, he has known what it's like. Yes, he lost them, but that's not the same as having always been alone. Sasuke is angry at Sakura because he doesn't like that people would badmouth Naruto just because of his loneliness. Sasuke understands Naruto and feels his pain, so he wants to protect Naruto in this scene.

Next time we see Sasuke he's not even angry at Naruto for tying him up and impersonating him, he just has this little cocky attitude in which he teases Naruto.

Next they meet Kakashi and establish their goals (Sasuke wants revenge, Naruto wants to be hokage and Sakura just wants Sasuke because Kishimoto can't write women). Now at the first task Kakashi makes them do (the bell thingy), we see how they really start to know each other. Sasuke finds Naruto weird. But charming. He doesn't understand why he's so bad at ninja stuff but keeps going no matter what, this is what makes Sasuke's heart throb. He thinks Naruto is quite dumb, but then he also thinks that there must be something else there, because he can't seem to stop paying attention to him. He even compliments him by thinking that he made a good plan with the kage bunshin, yet again, showing a cocky attitude, because let's face it, Sasuke likes being cocky with Naruto.

So we want to make sure people understand that, at this point, Sasuke has obviously been paying attention to Naruto for years, that he likes him, even though he wouldn't accept it for quite some time. That being together on the same team is his door to fully knowing Naruto, and that this is the basis on which Sasuke's development will go throughout the story. At the same time, Naruto has noticed Sasuke, a lot. He also has been paying attention to his actions for years, he feels intrigued by him, wants to get closer but at the same time doesn't know what his feelings are exactly, since Sasuke is much more talented than him, he chooses to think that what he feels and will feel for Sasuke is jealousy. Later on, he will aknowledge that his feelings for Sasuke are much more complicated than that. Finally, Sakura, from the little we can extract from her thoughts and personality, is starting to comprenhend Naruto's feelings of pain and rejection. She also starts to notice there's more to him than just a dumb mischievous boy, and that he is actually capable of many things.

This is the end of our introduction. Next post will be dedicated to the Zabuza arc, where MANY events are key to the story ahead, so don't miss out!

[itsorangeandpurple]

After Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke are confirmed to be a team, Sakura expresses her discontent about having Naruto as a partner, Naruto, as well, doesn't seem to like the idea of having Sasuke on his team, and Sasuke only expresses feelings of annoyance about sharing the team with Naruto. This stablishes a dynamic where Naruto is apparently not liked by any of his teammates, however, as the manga advances, we get to know that Sasuke never viewed Naruto this way, he didn't dislike him, ever, and neither did Naruto. So we interpret this dynamic as silly children not knowing how to express admiration nor friendship, since they are so young and also, traumatized.

Naruto, feeling offended by being disliked, decides to prank Sasuke, tying him up and impersonating him. In this scene we see Naruto comment how Sasuke is only distracted when he eats, and Sasuke notices the one who's surronding him with a rope is Naruto. We think this kind of little observations indicate how much attention Naruto and Sasuke pay each other, already recognising and noticing small gestures about the other, even though they hadn't really known each other yet.

Naruto, impersonating Sasuke, meets Sakura, where he asks her about her thoughts about Naruto. She answers that, basically, she dislikes him a lot and finds him annoying. She also tells him how she only cares about Sasuke's validation, that she would do anything to get his respect and attention because she likes him. Later on, we will see this exact same words of wanting to get the respect and validation from Sasuke said by Naruto himself. Leaving the ''liking him'' part behind, I wonder why...

Is at this moment Naruto says ''I think I understand now why I like Sakura'' and it is now when Naruto realises he likes Sakura because he relates. He relates in the feeling of doing anything for the respect and acceptance of the people, he understands. He also feels that Sakura is capable of seeing Sasuke's value as a person, something that Naruto craves with all his being, so all of that makes him feel that Sakura is such a great person because she is able to notice people with ''failures'' such as Sasuke, and also, he shares, in some way, the feeling of wanting to be accepted. Deep down, Naruto also feels that the acceptance he wants does not only belong to the people of the village, but one person in particular, Sasuke. And that is also something he shares with Sakura. Being his age and having experienced the life experiences he has had, it is absolutely normal that he falls in love with Sakura.

We have to say, though, that this is Naruto projecting his life into Sakura in some kind of way, he is not aware, of course, but that's what it is. Sakura is, in no way, how Naruto imagines her to be. This leads to the question, did Naruto ever really fall in love with Sakura, or the idea of her?

So, we start at the beggining.

Naruto begins as your typical shonen manga, introducing the quirky protagonist, the other characters and the story itself. This way, we meet a 12 year old child, mischievous, clumsy, very enthusiastic, goal-focused... But also a traumatised, lonely kid, who craves acceptance more than anything else, who wants to be valued and respected and, as most kids do, who longs for friends and family. This feelings of loneliness and of craving attention and affection are the key to Naruto's character and Naruto's story. Is these feelings that will drive our main character's actions throughout the beggining of Naruto the manga, is this feelings that will eventually lead Naruto to a journey of self discovery and love.

On the 3rd chapter it's time to form the teams. Naruto is very much excited because his grand dream at this time is to become hokage so that he can prove everyone that he is worth something, that he deserves respect, that he deserves love. So he looks forward to this day, he comes in class and sees his first love, Sakura. He really likes Sakura and even asks her if she'd like to sit with him, but Sakura seems to hate him, since he is so childish and bad at being a ninja. and also, because she is madly in love with Sasuke, who is sitting on the same bench as Naruto, just on the other side, sitting quietly and maybe just... observing. This is our first time seeing Sasuke, he is introduced as Naruto's ''enemy'' since he seems to hate him. Naruto thinks to himself that Sasuke is the guy he hates the most because he ignores everything that surrounds him, and, for some reason, this seems to annoy Naruto very much.

Sasuke is also introduced as Sakura's crush, although he doesn't seem to pay much attention to her nor any other person, and thus the love triangle is stablished, although for it to be a triangle some part is missing right?? If you get what I mean. But that is soon resolved since when Naruto sees Sakura so dumbfounded with Sasuke, he starts to wonder what does Sasuke have that he doesn't, and decides to get a closer look at him.

So yeah, this happens. In the 3rd chapter. Why on earth would you, as a writer, make your two protagonists kiss if you weren't going to do something along this line throughout your story? Kishimoto has said that he thought it would be fun.... Yeah, sure. Even if that was the case and Kishimoto is just a stupid man with poor humor (that, I believe) with no iota of intelligence or abillity to narrate to know that by doing this you stablish some sort of future feelings of love between them, it's still what it is, and so we say that our interpretation of Naruto's and Sasuke's future relationship as romantic is completly valid and the correct one.

Now let's picture this as Sasuke's pov: you are a 12 year old manga boy who's so traumatized that have decided to just ignore your social development and has chosen to just focus on your revenge and your hatred, not paying attention to any other kid at school except this blonde kid who's always alone and doing silly stuff to get everyone's attention, a kid that is practically the complete opposite of him, but that somehow, catches Sasuke's attention with every action that he makes. Now said kid comes near you and is suddenly kissing you! And it's your first kiss and you were nervous about this whole team thing but now it's like nothing matters because what??? This particular kid is kissing me??? And in class?? (we know that Sasuke believes the kiss was intentional since it was mentioned in some official book or something so yeah).

This event leads to our theory that Sasuke likes Naruto, since the first time he laid eyes on him and empathized with his loneliness. He wanted Naruto to keep going, so that Sasuke could keep going himself. Sasuke saw hope in Naruto's conviction, and this eventually lead him to have feelings for him, eventhough Sasuke wouldn't understand this feelings until later.

He really likes Sakura and even asks her if she'd like to sit with him, but Sakura seems to hate him, since he is so childish and bad at being a ninja. and also, because she is madly in love with Sasuke, who is sitting on the same bench as Naruto, just on the other side, sitting quietly and maybe just... observing. This is our first time seeing Sasuke, he is introduced as Naruto's ''enemy'' since he seems to hate him. Naruto thinks to himself that Sasuke is the guy he hates the most because he ignores everything that surrounds him, and, for some reason, this seems to annoy Naruto very much.

Sasuke is also introduced as Sakura's crush, although he doesn't seem to pay much attention to her nor any other person, and thus the love triangle is stablished, although for it to be a triangle some part is missing right?? If you get what I mean. But that is soon resolved since when Naruto sees Sakura so dumbfounded with Sasuke, he starts to wonder what does Sasuke have that he doesn't, and decides to get a closer look at him.

So yeah, this happens. In the 3rd chapter. Why on earth would you, as a writer, make your two protagonists kiss if you weren't going to do something along this line throughout your story? Kishimoto has said that he thought it would be fun.... Yeah, sure. Even if that was the case and Kishimoto is just a stupid man with poor humor (that, I believe) with no iota of intelligence or abillity to narrate to know that by doing this you stablish some sort of future feelings of love between them, it's still what it is, and so we say that our interpretation of Naruto's and Sasuke's future relationship as romantic is completly valid and the correct one.

Now let's picture this as Sasuke's pov: you are a 12 year old manga boy who's so traumatized that have decided to just ignore your social development and has chosen to just focus on your revenge and your hatred, not paying attention to any other kid at school except this blonde kid who's always alone and doing silly stuff to get everyone's attention, a kid that is practically the complete opposite of him, but that somehow, catches Sasuke's attention with every action that he makes. Now said kid comes near you and is suddenly kissing you! And it's your first kiss and you were nervous about this whole team thing but now it's like nothing matters because what??? This particular kid is kissing me??? And in class?? (we know that Sasuke believes the kiss was intentional since it was mentioned in some official book or something so yeah).

This event leads to our theory that Sasuke likes Naruto, since the first time he laid eyes on him and empathized with his loneliness. He wanted Naruto to keep going, so that Sasuke could keep going himself. Sasuke saw hope in Naruto's conviction, and this eventually lead him to have feelings for him, eventhough Sasuke wouldn't understand this feelings until later.

Hii! Welcome to our blog 🍓

This blog was born out of spite and anger towards, not only Kishimoto as the author of Naruto, but millions of online (and not so online) people who have watched or read this story but have not understood anything about it. Towards all those people that believe Naruto is a story about some blonde guy who wants to become hokage, to those who find ''Sasusaku'' and ''Naruhina'' the correct development of the story and the characters themeselves, to those who choose to actively ignore the plot, the feelings, the hidden meanings, the colors of the story.

A few years ago me and my friend decided to make a podcast about naruto, to tell our version of the story (which is the only valid version) and to share it with the world. For that we made a 113 pages essay anylising Naruto's plot, characters, relationships, feelings and hidden meanings which we now want to share trhough this blog little by little.

For us, naruto has been a pillar in our lives since ages ago. We have read the manga and watched the anime at least 10 times (I'm not exaggerating) and we love naruto and sasuke dearly. We believe we understand the story at it's fullness, comprenhend the importance of sasuke's and naruto's feelings throughout the story and between them and the beauty of it all.

Now, we don't think Kishimoto has the neurons to make a story this profound, neverthless he wrote the most powerfull love story of our time, wether he wanted it or not. Because yes, Naruto IS a love story between two men, sasuke and naruto, naruto and sasuke, two people so different yet so alike that once their hearts intertwined, they could no longer distinguish which heart belonged to who. Once they met, they couldn't understand life without the other.

And that is also how this blog came to life, moved by love.
