sasuke
sasuke is someone who’s been through a lot. he went from being the second son of the uchiha main house, to the last uchiha alive. aside from their murderer, that is.
sasuke woke up one morning as an 8 year old thinking it would be like any other day. the day ended with everyone he has ever known or loved dead. he was left as the sole survivor of a genocide. not only did he have to come home to see all the dead bodies, but he was forced to watch the whole thing happen from start to finish via tsukiyomi, a mangekyo ability that puts the person through 72 hours of psychological torture in the span of seconds. all this by the hands of the person who he loved and admired the most.
and as if that wasn’t enough, he was essentially left alone. completely unattended. sasuke received no support, no treatment, NOTHING after itachi committed genocide “to prevent a war” apparently. and just when he starts reaching out to form new bonds, just when he started getting closer with his team, orochimaru and itachi come along and set him back.
all of sasuke’s suffering and trauma has been reduced to, “oh edgy emo boy haha he’s such a loser 🤣” but of course naruto fans are konoha bootlickers and feel bad for itachi because he committed genocide but not sasuke who suffered the most

That reply!
The lengths people (heterosexual people, I'm assuming) will go to in order to avoid accepting that a character could be gay. They legit will be like, "It is SO CRAZY how Naruto is so obsessed with Sasuke. He was more upset about the possibility of Sasuke dying than he was about Jiraiya ACTUALLY dying! It's wild how HAPPY HE IS AROUND SASUKE. Why is that?????????"
It's because they're homos, kid. They're homos.

This makes me so emotional because the build-up from Land of Waves to Vote1… Sasuke is Naruto’s most precious person. MOST PRECIOUS.
“The sky and sea that does not mix. Their hearts that cannot understand one another. — If you start with these hearts, then this will inevitably be the outcame.” (I remember author note being he tried to make them look like they have a conflict but they do not hate each other)
“Days shared. Emotions shared. But after this encounter, it’s time to part.”
“Divided rivers will once again meet in the ocean…”
“My friend, wait for me! A boy runs through the rain!”
“Those feelings… those wishes… have, without fail… made it our fate to meet once again.”
“Naruto meets with someone close to him… is he smiling at a friend? A date? Who could it be?” (he met Sasuke in this chapter!)
“And so they fought. And so they laughed. Friends. Before they knew it, they were inseparable.” (do I have to even say anything about this legendary cover? all that’s missing is the rainbow flag)
“So close, and yet so far.”
“Two paths… too far apart to be absolute destiny, yet close enough that it can only be fate.” (the corniness, I unironically love it. also look at the ns logo)
“Heaven and Earth, Yin and Yang, polar spirits now cross paths!” (this one looks pretty)
Obviously I didn’t take all of them because too long post is too long. But I just love Naruto and Sasuke covers in the manga. 😭

naruto, first arc: the shinobi system is exploratory and deeply flawed and profits by literal child soldiers and adults fighting for causes they don’t believe in, they are stripped of their humanity and discarded the moment they aren’t valuable anymore, having their worth measured based on what you can get from them and being treated as mere tools, either working for rich independent people or governments, contributing to maintain the wealthy and powerful wealthier and more powerful, it also exposes these people to traumatic experiences from a very young age
naruto, last arc: haha jk it’s aliens

sasuke and naruto both associate love with pain but naruto treats getting hurt because of love like he should be proud of it and actively seeks it out while sasuke sees it as a side effect… either way the pain is inevitable and sasuke runs from it because he’s felt love from his family and then the overwhelming pain from losing it but naruto has never been given love and care without having to suffer for it so he is constantly trying to prove himself and the value of both himself and his love. anyway.

It's absolutely hypocritical bullshit that Shikamaru is allowed to take his revenge on Hidan because Hidan killed his TEACHER and that is viewed as okay because he lets his friends from Konoha help him (even though he basically straight up told Tsunade he was going to do it anyway when she discovered him sneaking out), but Sasuke is villainized for trying to avenge his MOTHER AND FATHER and ENTIRE CLAN who were killed by his brother in a (revealed later) orchestrated genocide. It's also absolute hypocritical bullshit that people in the fandom laud Shikamaru for killing Hidan and view it as being "cool", but say Sasuke is "emo" and a piece of shit because he wants to get justice for his family his own way and, once he learns the truth, wants to hold a fascist government responsible for their LITERAL crimes against humanity.

@patrickdiomedes It's actually a fight from Boruto (which, again, I hate but I respect the animator because they do incredible work!) between Sakura and Shin:
Naruto (as a series, not the manga) gets a lot of flak for the time when it's animation is bad. That's fair (and I've joined in on the fun) because sometimes the animation WAS complete shit, but when the animation was good it was REALLY good, especially when it comes to fight choreography. The way the animators incorporated real martial arts techniques into the fights they expanded on when adapting the manga to the anime and how they would pay tribute to fight scenes from other media that they liked: pure fire!
For example, let's talk real martial arts. A lot of the characters in Naruto have fighting styles that consist of elements from different disciplines. From boxing to taekwondo to muy thai to capoeira to wing chun, there are a lot of instances of real techniques being used. And the thing that really makes me geek out is when the characters use the right form when executing a move! The attention to detail is so fucking incredible!
For example, here's Sakura throwing a overhead hook and fucking NAILING IT:
I mean, goddamn! The punch starts in her legs LIKE IT'S SUPPOSED TO (that's why she has her feet planted firmly on the ground and lunges slightly while swiveling her hips) and she twists her body to where it's facing outward. This adds so much force to the punch because it's proper boxing form! See below:
Then there's shit like this, where Sasuke is just out here throwing those perfect Muay Thai kicks:
This is the proper form for a Muay Thai kick. He's kicking with his shin, not his foot. He's using the momentum from his arms. It makes the kick more powerful. I LOVE IT. Real life execution for reference:
And, even though I HATE Boruto, I still have to acknowledge that the animators went all out in this same way in episode 65, and it was good. Here's what looks to me to be a heavily Wing Chun inspired part of the fight where Naruto is straight refusing to catch those hands:
His form is narrow, he keeps his elbows tucked close to his sides, he's blocking with his feet and using low kicks. Here it is in physical practice:
I MEAN, not to be such a nerd, but I've started rewatching Naruto recently and I've noticed so much more of this than I ever did before and it gets me so hype. This kind of attention to detail makes you feel like the character actually knows what they're doing; that they ARE a fighter, that they worked hard to be one! It helps immerse you in the universe. So much anime, and even a lot of live action media, focuses only on close-ups, fast cuts, or just unfocused, crazy strong punching, flashy, energy-based moves, or unrealistic weapons. Naruto is guilty of that sometimes, too, but it also gave us so many incredibly well-animated fights using real techniques. And there are so many great details if you watch these scenes closely enough to notice.
Things like at the end of this clip, when Sasuke fakes a punch so that Naruto focuses on blocking and allows himself to be kicked:
And the hand to hand combat between Kakashi and Obito (when he kicks the kunai into his face!!!):
Or the weapon fighting between Itachi and Sasuke (complete with rad sword block!):
As for how awesome it is to see tributes to fights from other media reproduced by the animators of Naruto: they're some of the most fun Easter eggs to find. They've included fight choreography from Cowboy Bebop and Captain America: Winter Soldier for instance (wish I could include these here, but for some reason Tumblr won't let me).
The animated fights in Naruto are so well-known for how good they are that other shows have paid tribute to them as well! Like when The Boondocks paid tribute to the Orochimaru vs Sasuke fight in the Forest of Death:
Anyway, to sum up, even though Naruto has it's failings, I'm absolutely convinced that no other anime has better or more realistic fight scenes than it does. And in this house we stan.

Something I find interesting about Naruto's character is that when Sasuke kills Orochimaru, he looks happy about it. When he finds out he killed Itachi, all he thinks is ''Do you feel better now that you got revenge or are you in more pain?'' and when Sasuke reveals he killed Danzo, Naruto looks shocked but doesn't seem to care about it later. Also, if he cared about Konoha's reputation he wouldn't try to reveal the truth behind the massacre TWICE before being silenced by kakashi and Itachi 🤔
Yeah this is what I mean. He obviously cares about Sasuke’s well-being and he understands enough to realize Orochimaru is just some creep that Sasuke wouldn’t have a problem to kill, meanwhile his relationship with Itachi is much more complicated.
He does care about Sasuke, that much is obvious. Their relationship is turbulent and they both make mistakes but they do care about each other.
