We’ve seen Naruto go into fits and rages over Sasuke. But I wanna live in a world where we see Sasuke completely go ape-shit because something happened to Naruto. What do you think that would look like? We’ve only ever really seen Sasuke calmly rage (except under the bridge) but do you think he’d go wild if Naruto died?

Aaahhh!!!! This Cruel Anon😮😮😮😮 I told you I'm horrible at headcanon. Why sending me such a brain-twisting but an exciting ask😭😭!!! Added to it, you didn’t provide me the info about the arc or the person who is going to kill Naruto , Anon, that makes this ask even more difficult. So, I’m just going to assume it in the context of Shippuden alone.

Anyways, Let me try.

Since we have never seen Naruto undergoing any near death experience before Sasuke's eyes and Sasuke usually never lets his emotions get ahead of his logical thinking, It's super hard to predict how he will react to Naruto's death. But it's not impossible. It’s just that I have to draw parallels from his other battles to get the vague idea of how he would react.

There are only 2 possibilities where Naruto can die before Sasuke.

Killed by someone else.

Killed by Sasuke himself.

Both of the situations are very improbable. Because Sasuke always hesitates at the last moment when it comes to killing Naruto like he did many times and with the way he protected Naruto so far, I don't think he would let someone lay a finger on him. And that’s why this is very difficult to predict.

KILLED BY SOMEONE ELSE

Before that, how did Sasuke feel about Naruto throughout the Shippuden series,?

Even though he acts out like he wanted to kill Naruto, For Sasuke, Naruto is the strongest bond which could be cut down only when he dies. It’s more powerful.

With that being said,

In SNS dynamics, Sasuke is the extremely protective one. To be honest, The word extreme is just an understatement!! Or may I say he is very obsessive about protecting Naruto?? Or should I say his protective instinct is very similar to Kushina and quicker than Minato?

Or should I say even if the entire world is about to get obliterated, Sasuke would just grab Naruto and run away?

Either way, it's just abnormal to extend this level of Protective tendency to a person who is not related by blood. Period. And that’s why the probability of this scenario happening is very less. However, there are some moments where Sasuke reacted in a peculiar way and from which we can infer the magnitude of his reaction.

Well, there are not many people he loves in this series except for Itachi and Naruto. Before looking at how he will react for the death, let’s see how he will react when someone trash talk the people he love.

This is when Sasuke is asking to Danzo, “Is it true that Uchiha Itachi eliminated my clan by the orders of the Elders?” Sasuke didn’t like Danzo uttering the name of Itachi, not one bit. Because, that bastard, Danzo, uttering his beloved brother’s name is almost like trash talking him.

There is a rage which is welling up inside Sasuke on seeing Danzo and it got only more intense as the battle deepens. A well justified reaction!!!

I don’t really have to talk about this, Do I?

I wouldn’t call it as rage. But Sasuke is just angry. When you keep chapter 698 in mind, Sasuke knew about Naruto a long time ago and he always liked his presence back then. When Sakura started to trash talk about Naruto, Sasuke just couldn’t keep up a straight face.

But the beauty of this scene is, he only knew Naruto from a Distance. They haven’t been acquainted yet. And still, Sasuke could pull up such an extreme reaction for Naruto.

That extremity for Naruto speaks volumes.

Here, Kabuto is trying to act as his Big Brother (knowing full well that his real brother is standing next to him) and claims that he will help him in destroying Konoha. Kabuto is indirectly comparing himself to Itachi and says that he understands Sasuke better than anyone.

Sasuke didn’t react anything for this remark surprisingly and he was carefully listening.

However, when it comes to Naruto,

I always find this funny but still, Sai was comparing himself with Naruto and saying, “I’ll be able to get along better with you compared to Naruto”. And, the thought of someone taking Naruto’s place just made Sasuke to put him in a Genjutsu.

Sasuke might have broke up with Naruto for the past 3 years. That doesn’t mean someone can take his place. And his reactions are more extreme than what he gives off for Itachi.

Lesson to learn : Don’t trash talk about Naruto in front of Sasuke unless you want to face some harsh reactions.

So, if just Badmouthing can draw such a severe emotion out of Sasuke, then if he heard that someone had killed Naruto, I could totally see Sasuke would take it very personal and get revenge for sure. The reason is that after the massacre, Sasuke always felt relieved whenever he saw Naruto. Which means he was the source of happiness and also the person who never made him feel alone. Or Should I say Naruto at some point has become ‘His Person’ in his world. If you take away that person, Sasuke could never be sane.

Added to that, he wouldn’t let anyone else to take revenge for Naruto’s sake either. I mean, there are many people who cares about Naruto, say, Kakashi, All Konoha 9 members, Gaara and many more. If any of these people tries to avenge for Naruto, Sasuke wouldn’t let them.

Or may I say Sasuke would even go to the extent of warning them, ‘Do not Interfere or else I’ll Kill you all too’???

Something like this. “My Revenge for Naruto is mine alone”. Sasuke would definitely say something along these lines.

Why do I say this?

Because Naruto and Sasuke are polar opposites in terms of their Emotions.

When Naruto asks his friends, “I can’t let any of you face Sasuke, I’m the only one who can fight him”.

If you think in the opposite way, Sasuke could definitely say something like this “I wont let any of you avenge for Naruto. I’m the only one who can do it”. Or he may say, “People like you who couldn’t even protect one of your Comrades have no right to take part in this revenge”

According to them, Sasuke left the village and hurt Naruto before. Probably they won’t like Sasuke acting all high and mighty for Naruto now. Even if they interfere, he would totally do this,

Like killing anyone who comes in his way without a second thought like he did under the bridge. Since he had no connection with them anyways, he won’t hesitate a bit.

Now, he removed whoever is interfering in his way. Now what happens when he reach the enemy?

I don’t think this part would be anything nice or rational .... like I wrote for Naruto’s post. If Sasuke was killed, Naruto would still keep his rationality in his mind and kill only the person who was responsible. And also he could differentiate between the way he would kill Danzo and Raikage.

However, it’s different in Sasuke’s case because of this panel.

Yes, Sasuke would slaughter the enemy and their precious people. And with Naruto not around to change his opinion about how to approach things in a constructive way, I don’t see Sasuke would just go and kill the only person responsible for his death.

Plus, when his Hatred on Itachi for about 8 years could be able to change into Love in a matter of hours, and that Love made him deranged to the point of not recognizing his comrades, Imagine the magnitude of Sasuke’s rage for Naruto whom he never Hated but always loved him in his own stubborn way.

And if you think I am slandering Sasuke by making him into a monster who would slaughter people, you are mistaken.

This was what Sasuke wanted to do after knowing the truth of Itachi. If not for Naruto who acted as a shield, under the Bridge and his time with Edo Tensei’ed Itachi who once again died stating himself as a proud Konoha shinobi, Sasuke would’ve gone through with his plan.

Even in Borutoverse, Sasuke’s ruthlessness still prevails. Meaning, he will not deal with people like how Naruto deals with tenderness.

If not for Naruto, Sasuke would have definitely obliterated this Shin Clones with his Amaterasu. And that’s why Sasuke is saying, “You’re too soft, as usual”.

And that’s why I concluded, Sasuke would do the same or even more than what he planned for Itachi’s revenge.

With that being said.

This could be his ‘I’m going to kill you, Bitch’ face all the time throughout the battle. LOL.

This is how he might start off his slaughter, by crushing someone with Susanoo with pure rage.

Although the real slaughter will more or less looks like either of this way,

An Uzumaki way

I could totally imagine Sasuke can crush many people with his Susanoo hands, like this. And Nagato was a warm boy who had a very good temper and yet his rage could cause this much destruction. What if it was Sasuke, I wonder!!!

An Uchiha way

Obito slaughtering Mist Village ninjas for making Rin into a Jinchurikki. This is another version of a slaughter which is my preferred one because Obito just transformed from Naruto to Kage Summit version of Sasuke in a matter of minutes & I also have another reason to prefer this which I will explain later. And since Sasuke always reacts extremely for Naruto, this version of pure rage is very possible.

So, if you ask me Would Sasuke go Ape Shit if Naruto dies?

Of course, Yes. At least after Itachi’s death, Sasuke was sane until he got caught up in the Kage summit conference and from there he fought endlessly to the point of not able to recognize friends from foes. However, Sasuke recognized Naruto and stopped his rampage.

If Naruto was gone too, then I don’t think there is anyone in the Narutoverse that can stop him from going deranged. He would overuse his eyes and body until he cannot move anymore.

But What will happen after getting his revenge????

As we all know, Madara and Obito also lost their fair share of precious people in their lives. They gave into Hatred, went to near death experience and lived persistently long enough to implement their Mugen Tsukuyomi Plan. They wanted to change this world. However, I believe this is where Sasuke differs from the rest of the two. I will explain about this later.

KILLED BY SASUKE

Another improbable situation and yet very interesting to explore.

I always wonder why Sasuke wants to kill Naruto but always protects him from other danger. And then, the Gold mine of SNS, the Land of the Waves always comes to pat my head and reminds me that Sasuke always valued Naruto’s life more than himself and that too unconditionally. When you value someone’s life more than yourself, you can never keep quiet when they are in danger. Your body automatically moves on its own to protect them. This kind of ridiculously extreme sense of protective instinct is mostly seen with Blood Relations.

If this instinct is shown towards a non-blood related person, then that person becomes ‘your person’ in your own world. And if this person needs to be cut down, you get this sense that ‘Only I should Kill that person rather than some piece of trash’. And when I realize this I just wondered how would Sasuke react after he killed Naruto.

This is one of the worst moments for Sasuke in his life after the massacre and his most emotional moment and in his mind lot of chaos is swirling inside, one of them being, having killed his own brother whom he once loved, got betrayed and when he realized his love again, he was no more.

And when it comes to Naruto, Sasuke would do the same, except that he never hated Naruto.

There were certain moments where Sasuke subtly showed his vulnerabilities when Naruto looked hurt.

There are multiple things we can infer from this picture. But to me I always see this scene as a display of Wanting to be close for one last time and conveying an Unbroken connection. Because these are the things Sasuke always wanted with Naruto.

Wanting to be close means, Sasuke always wanted to be walking next to Naruto but he never allowed himself to feel those things because he thought it was a weakness. Now, atleast for this one moment, Sasuke wanted to be honest with himself by listening to his heart and body, rather than his mind and he was feeling certain pain with a warmth.

Unbroken connection, here Rain falls on Sasuke, passes through his face and falls upon Naruto which creates a Connection even though he is keeping a certain distance. Sasuke may be crying here too. Anyways, Something from Sasuke is touching Naruto, which means that the bond hasn’t been broken yet or should I say Sasuke couldn’t?

And then this moment where Sasuke looks totally panicked.

Sasuke really wanted to kill him and he did his very best in the VoTE2 battle except for that moment where he turned off his Sharingan. However, on seeing Naruto’s arm got blown off, Sasuke didn’t even care about his own arm which went missing... His thoughts are about Naruto. So, Sasuke’s mind wanted to do something, he did it. But his heart couldn’t handle the consequences.

Considering all the above reactions, I think if Sasuke managed to kill Naruto, I think he would react more or less, like this.

This is the best possible reaction I can infer from Naruto series. This scene has everything like tears, warmth, sadness, wanting to be close with the dear one for the final time. And Sasuke would definitely react in a similar way. And that’s why Obito’s massacre was my preferred reaction.

Like I said earlier in the VoTE stare 1 section, Sasuke always wanted to be close with Naruto. Even if his mind says something, his heart and body always betrays him in these moments. Atleast after Naruto’s death, Sasuke wouldn’t mind embracing him with a hug with his warm tears flowing down endlessly.

Oh by the way,

If Sasuke, a grown man can hold Naruto in his lap..... There’s no doubt that if he manage to kill Naruto in the context of Shippuden, when no one is around, Sasuke could totally hug Naruto just like how Naruto hugged him in the Land of the Waves. And I can bet with my life that Sasuke would cry more for Naruto than Obito had cried for Rin.

So Far, I believe Sasuke would go for Revenge and eventually go insane if Naruto was killed by someone else. And if he kills Naruto by his own hands, Sasuke would cry immeasurably holding Naruto in his arms.

But, What happens after all this chaos? What will Sasuke do after Naruto’s death?

Remember I told you Sasuke was different from Obito and Madara.

It’s because of this. Unlike Madara and Obito who always wanted to do something for the Shinobi world from their childhood (though it ended up horribly), Sasuke never had such a grand dream for this world.

Sasuke has proved time and time again from part 1 to chapter 698 is that, he has self-destructive tendencies.

This was how Sasuke felt after killing Itachi and especially before knowing the truth. He made killing Itachi as his life goal and he achieved it. But he was not at all happy. He clearly looks like a person who doesn’t know what he was going to do!!!

Sasuke cannot be able to smile even after killing the person he hated the most. Because deep down he really loved Itachi. How could Sasuke remain calm if he kill the person he never hated and on top of it, he really loved him more than himself??

Am attaching this panel here to show that Naruto was the source of happiness for Sasuke when he was left all alone by himself. Deep down Sasuke always wanted a feeling of a family. And he got that whenever he saw Naruto or whenever he was around Naruto in his Genin Days. That’s why you could see Sasuke behaves like a normal child around Naruto, like making funny faces, calling name, teasing, smiling. I know extremist Sasuke fans won’t agree this because I am making Naruto as a Sunshine boy here. Am not. Naruto has his own shortcomings but that’s not the point of this post.

However, even though Sasuke considered it as weakness, that doesn’t stop him from making a strong bond with Naruto.

Why?

“A Person can’t defeat loneliness”.

Even Sasuke couldn’t. And that’s why he formed his strongest bond with Naruto even though his mind told him not to. And when the only person who made him happy when he was all alone was killed by someone, Sasuke would never stop his rampage. Because if not for Naruto, nobody could’ve stopped Sasuke under the Bridge.

And I could totally imagine Sasuke would put himself in Naruto’s suffering and say something like this, “If this hurts me this much, How much pain Naruto would have felt?”. This is a kind of self-destructive behaviour and that gives him even more rage.

He would go deranged and kill everyone in his path until he loses his eyesight & chakra and eventually let himself get killed.

And with the way, Sasuke panics every time when something happened or going to happened to Naruto, makes me think that if Sasuke managed to kill Naruto with his own hands after listening to his mind, his heart cannot be able to tolerate the consequences. As a result, Sasuke would weep immeasurably and put an end to himself.

And This dynamics has been strongly enforced by Kishimoto in Boruto Movie also.

Like in this scene, When shit goes out of hands, We have seen Gaara, Sakura, Ino were all seen helping villagers for their safety. Whereas Sasuke went straight to Naruto to help him out by standing next to him.

So, to conclude my headcanon,

In the context of Shippuden,

If someone killed Naruto,

Sasuke may have painfully broken up with Naruto at the end of VoTE1. But he never stopped considering Naruto as his closest friend.

So, No matter which arc it is or whoever the enemy is, Sasuke would set aside his own goals for Naruto and resort to take revenge personally. He would never allow anyone to take that away from him.

That revenge would always end up in a slaughter. There’s no way I could see Sasuke doing it in a rational way. And his rage would be more intense than what he showed for Itachi. Like instead of slowly progressing towards Darkness, Sasuke could go all out right off the bat.

The more he strides into this murderous dark path, the more he loses himself in terms of sanity, eyesight, energy and eventually he would die thinking about Naruto just like he did in the Land of the Waves arc.

However, if he kills Naruto with his own hands,

Sasuke could not deal with the consequence of Naruto’s loss and weep endlessly holding Naruto’s dead body in his arms.

As a result, he would put an end to himself and die next to Naruto.

In either of these cases, Unlike Madara and Obito, I cannot see Sasuke living long enough to move on and concoct plans to bring world peace and such.

Because,

There is no yin without yang and no yang without yin. If one goes down, the other follows. That’s how this pair was destined to be. And most importantly, Sasuke always wanted to be standing next to Naruto, no matter what, be it in life or death.
