Hi! Can you make a post about all instances where Kishimoto puts ss scenes to show the difference between how sasuke treats sakura and how he treats naruto?

SASUKE - How he treats Sakura Vs How he treats Naruto

1. Chapter 3 - The Dynamics setter

Everything started from here.... And it never stopped.

When Sakura Badmouths Naruto

When Naruto embarrassed Sasuke by ‘Accidentally’ Kissing & Tying him up:

If someone I hate.. did whatever Naruto did to Sasuke, I would definitely smash them into a pulp.... I won’t be reacting like this...

2. Hug Vs Kiss

When Sakura hugged Sasuke

When Naruto kissed Sasuke

Oh, By the way!!! He didn’t push way Naruto like he did with Sakura...

3. I am an Avenger Vs I Love You - Version 1

When Sakura comes in the way of Sasuke’s Goal

When Naruto comes in the way of Sasuke’s Goal

Where is that murderous look that Sasuke gave to Sakura moments ago???

-

-

-

I can’t put away my Goals by listening to you

My Goal comes after you

It’s not that “I am giving him food because I love him.. I am concerned about him... But only because he would slow us down...”

4. Tree Climbing Training

When Sakura climbed the tree successfully

When Naruto was clearly behind him

Shouldn’t he be comparing himself with Sakura who really climbed the tree successfully rather than Naruto who is behind him??? 

5. I’m Alright

Sasuke towards Sakura after he woke up from his ‘supposed’ death

“I’m fine... What about Naruto...?”

Sasuke towards Naruto after he woke up from his ‘supposed’ death

6. Shoulder Hug

With Sakura

With Naruto

I know Sasuke is not the one who was leaning here unlike he leaned on Sakura... It was actually Naruto who was leaning on Sasuke... But this was also one of the treasured memory of Sasuke when he was about to die... [[Just Scroll to top to see it]]

The Point is, Sasuke liked this moment whereas with Sakura he didn’t feel anything & he was shirking away from her unlike Sakura who was enjoying that moment. 

7. Mocking

Sasuke mocking Sakura to ‘improve her skills’

Sasuke mocking Naruto to ‘improve his skills’

This doesn’t even look like Sasuke is mocking Naruto... Instead he is just encouraging him, unlike with Sakura he is literally asking her to not waste her time bothering him.... 

It’s funny that he is comparing Sakura with Naruto when it comes to bothering him... But why didn’t he say the same to Naruto???? Like, “You are always bothering me”

8. I am an Avenger Vs I Love You - Version 2

When Sakura is worrying about Sasuke

When Naruto is worrying about Sasuke

Naruto: You Bastard!!! You Stupid!!!!

Sasuke: I Love You!!! Now Shut Up!!!

9. Back Vs Face

When Sakura trying to make a Conversation

Showing his back for the whole conversation....

When Naruto trying to make a Conversation

10. 1st Confession

When Sakura confessed her feelings 

“I love you with all my heart”

Kishi drawing an entire page with just Sasuke saying, “Yo, Usuratonkachi” and saying, “You really are Annoying” speaks volumes...

When Naruto confessed his feelings

“For me, You are one of the first bonds I’ve ever had..”

11. Emotions

After Knocking out Sakura

You know SS peeps go crazy about this panel because their beloved Sasuke-kun touched her and carefully left her on the bench instead of letting her fall on the road. Sasuke is not a monster, Isn’t he??? 

After Knocking out Naruto

Whereas with Naruto... He was standing near him and looking at him intently for 8 pages with such a contemplation. [Chapter Link]

Logically, when he punched his Chidori, he should have been slumped onto the opposite side of Naruto, Shouldn’t he??? What was he doing on Naruto’s side for 8 pages??? Why couldn’t he leave Naruto just like he left Sakura???

12. Good Bye

To Sakura

To Naruto

More Intimate, Painful and Honest by looking in the eye than going behind the back and being Formal... Isn’t it???

Plus this Gesture don’t even confine under Friendship or Brotherhood 🤢

13. Long Time No See

Welcoming Sakura in Orochimaru Lair

Welcoming Naruto in Orochimaru Lair

It’s funny that while welcoming Sakura... Sasuke’s face was never shown... Whereas with Naruto... A WHOLE PAGE WAS DEDICATED TO JUST N AND S...

And why does Sasuke act like he was surprised even though Sai told him that Naruto never stopped looking out for him...???

Anyways, Sasuke gave one of the creepiest welcome to Naruto, a few moments later...

14. What I’d do when I see you in Darkness

Sasuke’s reaction after seeing Sakura Under the Bridge

Why SS bond always represents mistrust and dishonesty anyway??

Sasuke’s reaction after seeing Naruto Under the Bridge

15. Do you Remember???

Sakura asking about their First Meeting

Naruto asking about their Top-Class Ninja lesson

Aaaand Sasuke REMEMBERS IT!!!

16. Promise

Sakura saying “I’ll do anything for you”

“Hmmphh.... Then prove it...”

That’s the amount of Trust, Sasuke-kun had with Sakura!!!

Naruto saying “We’ll die together”

There are so many translated versions for this scene... But this is the closest meaning which I got from the Japanese Raws...

てめは一体何がしてんだ!? Te me wa ittai nani ga shite nda!? What the hell are you doing!?

何でオレにそこまでこだわる!? Nande ore ni soko made kodawaru!? Why are you so obsessed about me!?

There’s indeed a lot of difference between asking the other person to Prove what they say and get mad by asking, “Why are you Obsessed about me!?”.

17. Desperation

When Sakura running towards the Danger

When Naruto running towards Danger

Bwahahaha.... Sakura’s face gives me such an happiness in all the 4 panels from this section. Looking dejected when Sasuke didn’t care about her... Looking like a ‘Third Wheel’ when Sasuke was flirting discussing with Naruto

18. Explanation

When Sakura ask a question

“And what would you do if you found out... Right now, There’s nothing you can do!!”

When Naruto ask a question

I would answer anything you ask, Naruto....

19. Priorities

When Sakura is in Danger

This panel is the perfect mirror of Sasuke’s feelings towards Team 7 all along... Sasuke is saying, “I only saved Kakashi and Sakura during Infinite Tsukuyomi because they happened to be next to you... That’s all”

Similarly, “I considered them as my family during our Team 7 days because they happened to be in the same team with you... That’s all”

Be it when leaving the Village, be it in Orochimaru Lair, be it Under the Bridge, be it during the War Arc, be it during this Infinite Tsukuyomi.... In all those instances, Sasuke just failed to care about both of them.... There’s no way Sasuke could treat Kakashi & Sakura like that if he truly considered them as his family just like he felt with Naruto..

Not to mention, Sasuke already felt the presence of his family whenever he saw Naruto before his Team 7 days.. So, the addition of Kakashi & Sakura didn’t bring any difference either...

Oh, Please... I didn’t mean to say Sasuke never cared about Kakashi and Sakura... I am only saying that, in the place of Kakashi and Sakura, if it were Asuma and Ino... Still, Sasuke would’ve cared about them in his Genin Days, if Naruto were also present in the same team. 

Meaning, Kakashi and Sakura were replaceable while Naruto is not... That’s what I am trying to say here.

When Naruto is in Danger

20. 2nd Confession

When Sakura confessed her feelings

Towards Naruto

21. Feeling Pain

When Sakura felt the pain of Sasuke

When Naruto felt the pain of Sasuke

22. Acknowledgement

Sasuke Acknowledging Sakura

Sasuke Acknowledging Naruto

This Acknowledgement section only covers Sasuke vocally acknowledging someone... Not that time he acknowledged Sakura for Genjutsu and smt. Because, in that case he also acknowledged Naruto in that fight against Gaara... when he asked him to save Sakura and that he can do it...

23. Feelings

Sasuke’s feelings towards Sakura after VoTE2 Battle

Sasuke’s feelings towards Naruto after VoTE2 Battle

There’s a huuuuge difference between someone saying just “Sorry” Vs “You’ll be my Family... You came closer to my Heart all the time”.

24. Conclusion

With Sakura

Sasuke was lying to Sakura... Okay??? And that explains why he abandoned her for a decade...

With Naruto

25. And it continues again

When Sakura is in danger

LOLOLOL.... A Natural response should be... “Sakura!!!” in a desperate tone....

Kishimoto is just trolling SS by making Sarada shout her Mom’s name but making Sasuke worry only about Enemy’s Jutsu.... Lmao...

Once Again.... ROFL.... Even Sarada is dejected....

When Naruto is in danger

Inner Me: Don’t Worry, Sasuke!!!!!.... Naruto can also heal himself on his own...

26. Sensing 

Sasuke asking Naruto to sense Sakura’s Chakra

Sasuke sensing Naruto from other Dimension

Rinnegan can sense anyone’s Chakra.... Just like how Nagato sensed Kabuto’s chakra and told Itachi.... Just like how Madara became rabid after sensing Hashirama got resurrected.... Why couldn’t Sasuke couldn’t sense his wife’s Chakra??? LOLOL

Bonus Moment - Family Picture

Sasuke is looking like he wants to run away from Sakura whereas that’s not the case with Naruto & Boruto though...

There can be 4 or 5 scenes like this.... But 26 + 1 is too much!!! LOL... And there’s not even a single moment where he treated Sakura in a special or prioritized manner by Ignoring or Insulting Naruto. It’s always the other way around.

I can’t believe how could people ship SS by spouting nonsense like Sasuke played Tsundere towards Sakura all along and all that BS.... And even if it is true, How long will he play this Tsundere game, I wonder???. If someone showed me these many things against the Ship I support, I would definitely reconsider my thoughts and perspectives... and verify the truth for myself... 

And now I know why those SS peeps were so desperate to call SNS as incest because they simply can’t invalidate each and every SNS panel as to why they are not Romantic... It’s very easy to just tag them as ‘Brothers’, deny everything and die on that hill forever...

Lets assume they are indeed Brothers.... 

But why the Author has to compare & contrast between a supposed ‘Brotherly’ Bond with a supposed ‘Romantic’ Bond??? Like both of the bonds are very different in terms of raw emotions & the physical or emotional expectations.... It can’t even compare... Then it means Naruto & Sakura being (love) Rivals who chases Sasuke makes absolute sense... 

You can take this as an SNS post.... Or you can take this post which shows ‘Sakura’s purpose’ in this story along with her other 2 purposes... namely,

Being a Beard for Naruto... [Post Link]

A carefully designed Despicable Character as compared to the Adorable Naruto. [Post Link] ... So that people would not like her...

And it’s precisely because of the above mentioned reason Sasuke loves Naruto very much as compared to the obvious indifference or borderline dislike towards Sakura. 

Narratively, The Author used NaruS*ku bond to show how Naruto’s selfless love for Sasuke is stronger than Sakura’s selfish love for Sasuke...  And he used SS bond to show how much Sasuke loves and favours Naruto at every given time. 

And that’s why Sasuke called Naruto as his One and Only...

I honestly believe the only way things will actually change is with a violent revolution. The usps is being sabotaged and it seems like nothing is being done to stop it. Trump will win the reelection unless drastic actions are taken. I know there’s a pandemic so this is obviously a really terrible time but if there’s to be any future it has to be taken control of now.

Oh this is an interesting anon to receive. Yeah like... cards on the table as I’ve gotten older I think I’ve become less revolutionary. I’m very open to those discussions and I do think there’s a super valuable place for revolutionary politics in our discourse, and can totally relate to the perspective of “between climate change, late capitalism, and the escalation of fascism, we don’t have time to sit around attempting to whittle away at electoral politics”. That said, an armed revolution, complete restructuring of the government, etc, is not happening tomorrow. It just isn’t. Even if it did, how would that extend to global politics? The revolution needs to be global right?

I love hearing people’s ideas for what a post-capitalism USA would look like, and I think we need MORE discussion about what the specifics of a communist earth would be, not less. Vaguely gesturing at “revolution”, as if that word alone will solve all of earth’s problems, is useless. We should talk more about how a society without borders or currency would function, in micro and macroscopic ways, and we shouldn’t assume that inequality or heirarchy will go away just because capitalism goes away. We should talk about how a revolution could actually be achieved without committing, like, atrocities, and we should feel comfortable acknowledging that existing socialist states don’t all have perfect records when it comes to human rights (neither do capitalist states, obviously, but that’s irrelevant). As soon as the discussion stops being about THOSE things, and instead begins and ends with how hopeless American electoral politics are and how it’s pointless to even try, you’ve lost me. You’re just shirking responsibility.

We do have control of our future. Fighting through activism, protests, riots, mutual aid and direct action is NOT mutually exclusive to fighting by voting, running for office, donating to good candidates, working a phone line or going door to door. I know a lot of really good really smart people who dedicate their energy to the first, and a lot of really good really smart people who dedicate their energy to the second, and a lot of really good really smart people who split their energy between both. Things aren’t hopeless. You do have power, and you can’t start feeling like you don’t just because the world isn’t changing as fast as we want it to, or because the bad seems to overwhelm the good. The world is beautiful, it is absolutely full of people who see the many many problems our society has and want to change it, and you really can live a fulfilling meaningful life where you are happy and loved and making a positive change in the world and in the lives of those around you EVEN IF we live in awful terrible times. Trump getting a second term, which is in no way a sure thing, will not destroy the earth, or America, or your capacity to have all of those things. Also, please do not use your dedication to political activism as an excuse to neglect your own mental health or to lose hope in your personal life. Don’t pour every ounce of yourself into something that is necessarily a communal effort!!! It isn’t our responsibility to dismantle every oppressive structure within our lifetimes. All we have to do is say we did our part to leave the world around us a little better than we found it. Going to bed now bye

Doing my Job

I sit and stare. I check my watch. It’s a nice watch. A Rolex, one of the first ever made. It says it’s 3:30 in the afternoon. Also, that the universe may end in 17 minutes, but probably not. Also, that it’s time for Jennifer to take a shower. Really, the watch tells me anything I need to know. It tells me I have twenty more minutes to wait.

Fuck.

The problems is, these little twats always try find a way to weasel out. As if they could sell their soul and then, when it comes time, just walk away through some loophole. They just sit here and read. They have all the time in the world to read through their contract and try and find a way out. Just like this little shit.

The man sitting across from me is around 109 kilos, I’d say, or about 240 pounds for you assholes that can’t get with the rest of the world. That’s not super overweight for a tall guy, but this guy is about… a meter and a half maybe? No a little taller… maybe one meter sixty? That’s five foot two. I can hear you, assholes.

Anyway, he’s dressed in a fine suit, probably Armani, rich guys do love their Armani. You’d think I would have a suit like that. I mean, I do, but it’s not like a gift or anything. I give these people power, and money, and women (usually) and they never give me anything. Well, their soul, but only because they have to. Entitled little monkeys.

I mean, why did He even make them? He knew, you know. He knew the moment you little shits were created that you were gonna fuck it up. The whole, “Hey, don’t eat that apple while I’m gone, bye.” thing? Like, He fucking knew, and He did it anyway. I never understood it. Why even make a creature so weak?

I look back at the pasty fat man in the nice suit. He’s beginning to sweat. I look back at my watch and see that there’s only five minutes left until he give up. Good. I have other things /I need to do today. I may be an angel, but I can’t be everywhere at once. There are a lot of people to torture for their sins. Lots of priest who’ve fucked little boys, lots of murderers, lots of rapists. Some thieves, though to be honest, they mostly just chill. They have to be here, rules and all that, but what’s stealing compared to killing? Not much, unless it’s something big.

Then there are the atheists. I feel the worst for them. Rules, again, not believing in Him is a pretty big one. The vast majority of them, though, are not bad people. Many of them are good. Many more better than some of the folks up there, but rules are rules. I treat them well though. Snacks, jacuzzi, sex, drugs, rock and roll. They’re here for eternity, but that doesn’t mean they have to have a bad time.

“Ok.” His voice is annoying as he is. I look up and smile. I know he’s given up. I have no doubt my smile shows it. “Ok,” he says again, “I… I can’t find anything here.” I can see the tears welling up. I can sense his fear. He knows the things he’s done, and I do to. It’s nothing too terrible, a few affairs, some drugs, illegal trading, which really isn’t a sin, because God’s not an economist, or government agent.

“But, please,” he continued, “You have to understand that I don’t deserve this. I know we made a deal…” I being to zone out. I try to stay interested, I really do, and god damn am I good at pretending, but there’s no way. I’ve heard it all before, and I don’t have any interest. This guy’s pasty-white soul is mine, and there’s nothing he can do about it.

I begin thinking back to home. Not my original home, but my home, down in the deepest layer of the pit. It’s quite nice, I think, a three story victorian manor with a few gothic arches for extra creepyness. The windows are all stained glass that get lit up by the magma flowing by. I have a small garden of heat loving plants. Mostly mythical things that have been lost to human memory, but also some moly, raskovnik, and even a lotus tree.

I can’t think of home without thinking of my dear one. I believe you mostly know her as Persephone. The greeks were very fond of her story, even turning her into the daughter of a goddess. The reality is she was a mortal. One of the first to ever enter my realm. I was a bitter man then, so full of hatred and misunderstanding. There are still things I don’t understand, things I am angry about, but she saw through that. She saw me for myself, and who I was, and moreover, understood why I was angry. When someone else can see through you like that, it’s hard to fall in love with them. And hate them.

Business man has finished his story. I wonder how long it has been, I glance down at my watch, he hasn’t been talking for a full six minutes. My bad.

“Look.” I say to him, standing up and walking towards him. He flinches and instinctively shirks away. I move closer and he gets up and starts backing into a corner. I hate when they do this. “Look,” I say again, “This is the choice you’ve made. I have given you all that you asked. Now, it is time for you to give me what you owe.” He starts crying. I feel bad for him. I really do. He was too short-sighted to see this. He must have thought I was full of shit. THat he had done it all on his own. Maybe he never thought about it again. To be honest, I don’t remember every deal I make, I certainly don’t remember his. But there contract is there, plain as day, and his soul is mine.

“Everything is going to be ok,” I say as I touch his shoulder. His body goes limp and vanishes as his soul is transported to its eternal punishment. I probably shouldn’t have lied. Oh well. I look at my watch. Two minutes until the next one. Guess I better get ready.
