Sasuke didn’t just “randomly” develop feelings for Sakura just because they “Travelled Together”
Can Someone please tell me why, in these moments…
…The background ALWAYS turnedwhite with petals flowing all around, and Sasuke always had a shy smile with hidden eyes, if there was nothingmutual going on between these two, and everything was just “one-sided” ?
Also by “something mutual”, I am NOT saying that they were “lovers” or “were in love” or anything. But there definitely was something from both sides. Because Uchiha Sasuke is not someone who “randomly” develops feelings for someone. His feelings grew over time.
Whatever led their relationship to bloom in the blank period had *roots* from their childhood, it couldn’t be just because they travelled together - from what I have heard many SS shippers say and believe - because Sasuke travelled with other women too - Karin, Chino, etc, but he didn’t develop feelings for any of them.
It’s same as his relationship with Naruto was because of what bond they shared in their childhood, since they never got to spend much time afterwards, since Sasuke is always away from Village.
What I mean to say is, After the Curse of Hatred was broken, just like he accepted that Naruto will always be his “best-friend”, even if they rarely meet eachother. The same way, Sasuke would still have the feelings that he had *grown to feel* for Sakura, even if they never traveled together or never got to spend much time together in blank period.
He didn’t start having feelings for her because he got to know her during the blank-period or anything(He didn’t need to do that, he already knew her). But because of the past and the bond they shared in their childhood. It might not have been “love” back then. But their was something from Sasuke’s side too.
It’s just like Sasuke’s voice actor, Sugiyama said - “Sasuke’s feelings had always been *consistent*” - Whatever they were for Sakura - I guess, we will never know exactly what - had always been and will always be *consistent*.
*a little bit of post-canon silliness based loosely on a trope I *adore* which is Kagome getting put in an arranged engagement/ being stolen away to become someone elses bride, and Inuyasha having to go save her
***except too many old fics like this from back in the day have Kagome being all helpless and ‘oh there’s nothing I can do about this’ or (worst of all) actually being like ‘well why not let’s give this a try’ ???? LIke???!!?!?! So I had to write my own version of this trope, though granted it’s not strictly adhering to it. Honestly it’s mostly inspired by lots of Ranma ½ and Urusei Yatsura episodes of fake fiances and failed marriage attempts. Plus I just really wanted to write some sassy Kagome.

“Kagome, wait for me, I’ll go with you! Hanako, come back here right now- Oh Kumiko, not you too!”
Shaking her head and smiling as the young mother ran after the giggling twins, Kagome continued on toward the light-speckled forest path, warm sunlight draping her shoulders comfortingly. She’d been feeling so stiff and tired lately, and her body was aching for some relaxation. “Don’t worry Sango” she called back, almost sighing at how perfect and pleasant a day it was, “I’m just taking a quick dip in the river- I’ll be back before you know it!”
I love how gaiden is mostly about the love between sasusaku through sarada’s pov
here we get sarada questioning what does sasuke feel about sakura
while having a flashback of the times she saw sasuke respecting sakura and being confident in her ,his wife
two pages later and she witness this
She realized the love between them when she saw how Sasuke cares about sakura.
but it does not only end here
she also asks sasuke about his feelings and he straightforwardly answers positively
and this time unlike the first chapter her question (”what makes you confident/sure about that”) does not get cut off . and sasuke answers that what makes them certain/sure about it is her (sarada) existence.
It means Sarada ,their child is a proof of their love.
Anonymous asked: Have you heard how some antis say that despite having numerous chances to kill Naruto, Sasuke never went through with it, because he cared about him too much?
Yes I have, and this statement boggles the mind. Once again, they place SasuNaru on a pedestal on the basis that it’s supposedly free from the criticism that’s levelled in SasuSaku’s direction, when it’s really not.
The only time Sasuke had an opportunity to kill Naruto but didn’t go through with it was at the end of their fight during Part 1, where Sasuke let him live “on a whim”, not because he cared about him too much.
Other than that, he genuinely tried to kill Naruto during their Part 1 fight:
But Naruto prevented Sasuke from striking his heart at the last second. Sasuke was going for his heart here:
And the extremists think he couldn’t go through with killing Naruto? Okay…
Sasuke also tried to genuinely kill Naruto during their reunion at Orochimaru’s hideout:
And he would have gone through with it, if it hadn’t been for Sai’s interference when he blocked his attack:
And the extremists think he couldn’t go through with killing Naruto? Okay…
Sasuke also tried to genuinely kill Naruto during their final fight at the end of the manga:
And he would have gone through with it, if Naruto hadn’t countered the attack at the last moment:
And the extremists think he couldn’t go through with killing Naruto? Okay…
So where do they get this stuff from? How are these attempts any different from Sasuke’s murder attempts on Sakura where they were also prevented at the last moment? The notion that Sasuke apparently couldn’t go through with his murder attempts on Naruto is complete nonsense.
Sasuke genuinely tried to kill Naruto on at least 3 separate occasions, and would have gone through with it on each occasion. People need to stop embellishing Sasuke’s negativity towards Naruto with falsehoods for the sake of elevating SNS, it’s beyond juvenile.
As we know, Sasuke strove to make the whole world hate him in order for his revolution to work. He wanted himself to be a symbol of the world’s hatred, so everyone could focus they’re hate on him, and would therefore be united under that premise.
Sasuke thought he was very close to achieving that; he thought that he had the world’s hatred placed on him. Well, everyone except Naruto, because he was still there fighting him. He thought that Naruto was the only one keeping him from being all alone, because Naruto was the only one with the power to stop him from achieving that goal.
It’s not that Sasuke never considered Sakura or Kakashi as important, it’s just that he no longer believed that after this fight, they would still consider him a friend, and he would thus be all alone; Naruto was essentially the final hurdle:
Sasuke wanted to be all alone, and thought that everyone in the world (including Sakura and Kakashi) would hate him after the conclusion of the fight. Therefore from Sasuke’s perspective, he had already succeeded with making Sakura and Kakashi hate him (even though he was wrong). That’s why he made that comment; he thought that at this point, Naruto was the only one was still hindering his goal to be al alone, because he was the only one powerful enough to stop him. Once Naruto was taken care of, there’d be no one left to get in the way of his revolution. Yes, Kakashi and Sakura would still be alive, but they wouldn’t be able to stop him. That’s why he made that comment.
Even if Sasuke had lost, he still thought that Sakura and Kakashi would no longer want anything to do with him.
This was shown in 699 during his apology:
He’s under the impression that Sakura won’t forgive him, and now that he’s been freed from his hatred and can see clearly, he realises that this isn’t what he wants at all. He deeply regrets his actions, but thinks it’s too late. But despite this, he still persists with the apology, because regardless of whether she forgives him or not, he knows it must be said:
And even when he initially says I’m sorry, he trails off, and waits for her response. He doesn’t force the apology on her, he instead waits for her, to see if she even wants to hear it. This is how hesitant Sasuke feels about the situation; because he felt as though she hated him. For the first time, he is the completely vulnerable one in their relationship, and Sakura has all the cards.
I hope that answered your question. It’s not that Sakura or Kakashi meant nothing him; it’s that he felt that at that point, Naruto was the only one who could still stop his revolution and desire to be all alone :)
Out of all the panels, the only one having a completely black background is this one with Sakura blushing while looking right into Sasuke’s eyes before he left for his mission.
The other panels with Sakura have a white background, this suggesting that they were seen from a reader’s point of view. For example:
However, the black background from the first panel suggests that it is showed from Sasuke’s point of view. This is probably the way he saw Sakura while she was blushing and staring affectionately at him.
This is like the moment he looked her in the eyes, nothing else mattered. He remained speechless and surprised, just like this panel emphasizes:
He was looking at her and only her. During this moment, he didn’t see anything else, but her, fact which was emphasized by the black background.
He probably realized once again how beautiful she is. He also knew what she was waiting for. This, her amazing cuteness and the fact that she was blushing probably made him blush, too, or, if that’s not the case, he most likely got shy and embarrassed of the fact that their daughter was watching them and that’s why he had to immediately turn away and get going. xD He probably didn’t want to show his shy side.
Also, in the next panel, he was smiling and his eyes were hidden, just like in almost every really important SasuSaku scene:
He smiled because he probably thought that he’d save what Sakura really wanted for later, when he would finally be back and while the two of them would be alone and intimate.
