we talk a lot about how sasuke and naruto are so crazy about each other but there’s never enough attention on how the rest of the naruto cast Also thinks they are two fucking lunatics. like we are not alone on this. you have jiraiya telling naruto he needs to not go and chase a mf who tried to snatch his heart out his ribcage and naruto is like no i’d rather be a fucking moron for the rest of my life honestly. you have naruto leaving a mission and saying sory i cannot stay i need to go home and wait for sasuke and the fucking platypus looks at him ???? like he even had me confused where are you goin g to wait? ? why are you saying that like sasuke is coming back the fuck did i miss??? you have the kage summit arc which is just a whole bucket of ice being dropped onto you because you come in and immediately get slapped in the face by naruto letting himself be beat up because he won’t tell them where sasuke is??? like he has any fucking idea where sasuke is. and sai tries to make him come to his senses like naruto??? naruto WHAT ARE U DOING. it’s so bad they need an intervention. right after that naruto faces the raikage and gets on his knees saying i know my almost boyfriend almost killed your brother but i promise it wasn’t on purpose he was just being silly please don’t put a bounty on his head a war will literally ensue. and like. there’s LAYERS to this. 1. even RAIKAGE is like BOY what are you doing. STAND UP. 2. at this point you can count the people who like sasuke on the fingers of one hand like WHO is gonna start a war over him… naruto out there moving a war against a whole country by himself over his bf ok you go girl i guess. after this it gets even worse like gaara has to go up to him and be like SASUKE DOWSNT CARE ABOUT YOU. HE DOES NOT WANT YOU. and naruto just slaps his hand away in front of his family like rude?????? ignoring anything it is hilariouuusssss and then sai is like sorry. sakura lied to you they are actually off to kill sasuke and naruto gets a panic attack so severe he passes out. like i am not joking it was so bad his friends tried to kill sasuke behind his back. and then naruto escapes bedriddenment (is that a word?) after passing out from his panic attack to run and make sure NOBODY kills sasuke. like he’s on a RUSH leaping those trees he’s a boy on a mission. then after he gets there he’s like kakashi DO NOT TOUCH HIM. they launch themselves at each other bla bla gay monologues did you see what was in my heart and then. and then naruto is like. wait sasuke. and sasuke waits like sorry that’s such a little thing but it’s so funny to me like sasuke was just acting a lil murderous crazy manic wtv but naruto told him to wait and he waits. ok good boyfriend. anyways moving on naruto is like do you get it sasuke. if we fight again we will BOTH DIE! (everybody gets a ?????? bubble) i am the only one who can shoulder all that hatred. i will CARRY THE BURDEN OF YOUR HATRED AND WE WILL DIE TOGETHER! and . absolutely Everybody in that room just goes ???????????? what the FUCK is he TALKING ABKHT. everybody except sasuke. sasuke smirks and he’s like sure. they just talked about dying together and meeting each other in a different life where they’ll be free of their burdens and they’re just Fine and all ok smiling at each other and everyone is so fucking confused. like the entire supporting cast is with us side eyeing sasuke and naruto and thinking what in the everloving FUCK is WRONG WITH YOU????????

i think naruto has genuinely, permanently ruined shipping for me because each time i see a pairing i’m like. ok you’re cute but would you shoulder the burden of his hatred and die with him? are you the sun to his moon? the yang to his yin? are you his one and only? are you his soulmate? are you willing to strip yourself of any pride and get on your knees to beg for his life to be spared? are you the one that completes him? are you the wind to his fire? did he feel warm and fuzzy while watching you as a child and considered it a weakness? were you each other’s first kiss? did you unravel his cold heart with said kiss? did he awaken his unhinged eye power to protect you? did he die and abandon the dream he was living for just so you could live on? does his body move on its own disregarding any logic when you’re in danger? is he willing to jump in knowing it was a trap to save you because you’re his precious person? are you each other’s most precious? did he unlock a new level of his crazy eye power when cutting his ties with you because he was writhing in pain over a lost love? did he try to kill you because you are his most important person? did parting from you feel like ripping off half of his own body to him? is he your driving force? were you chosen by fate? did he want to get rid of you because only then he could be truly alone? are you the only light in his darkness? are you the one that saved him from hatred? did he cry when you said you couldn’t explain your feelings for him and only said that when he hurt you hurt so much you couldn’t leave it alone? did he admit he also hurt when you hurt? did you keep an old token he had left next to your half alive body for years just to give it back to him as a token of your devotion and affection? did he say he’d hold onto it and give it back when things between you two were finally settled? did he compare what he feels for you to praying? did he say those feelings of his aren’t just about you two but there aren’t many people like you? does he look at you like you hung the stars? did you stay awake at night multiple times thinking about him and wondering if he was okay and thinking about you too? did you wish for him upon a shooting star? did he hug you and whisper in your ear during your reunion and purposefully make his attempt to kill you slow and drawn-out despite being perfectly able to do the job in seconds? did you curl up in a fetal position and cry your eyes out when he left again? did you have a panic attack that made you pass out when you found out your friends were out to kill him? does he know your heart well and you, his? can he read what is in your heart? how you truly feel? did you lose your arms to each other during your final battle of love and power? did he decide to stay alive for you and you only? did you say you’d rather remain a fool your entire life if being smart meant giving up on him? did you broadcast your feelings for him to the entire shinobi alliance? did a super smart villain who was targeting him say that they needed to keep you away from him because you were changing his heart, soul and goals? did you go insane when said villain called him his? did you openly reject two people because they said you needed to give up on him? does the author necessarily have to think of him when he thinks of you because you proceed as a pair and cannot be separated? did he disobey your teacher and try to feed you his lunch despite knowing that it would make them fail their exam and send them directly back to the academy which meant stalling and coming in the way of his revenge dream simply because you were hungry? does he go out of his way to make sure you don’t skip meals when you stay out training for too long? does he look at you so closely and attentively he could immediately tell somebody was an imposter because they didn’t have a scratch on their face and had a holster on the wrong leg? does he still remember what your lips tasted like after that one accidental kiss? can he get into your headspace and “begone, thot” your demons? if not we can’t do this

naruto and sasuke aren't a blue and red pairing. they're orange and purple. they're opposites, but they still have something tying them together. yellow and red, red and blue, literally a red string. they each have a little bit of the other in them, a shared pain and understanding.

of course naruto is orange! he's bright and sunny and "never give up!" and "believe it!" and yellow. he also has the pain from his childhood and the nine tails, and those are red, melting into his sunshine yellow disposition and tinting it orange.

and sasuke is purple, obviously. he was blue as a kid, young and innocent and happy, but that was stained with the red blood of the uchiha massacre. a stain that could never be removed, forever a murky purple.

they aren't red and blue, not because they don't fit the bill, but because they exceed it. you could surely assign naruto blue and sasuke red, but they're bursting at the seems of those confining boxes. they're in their own category, their own solar system. naruto is the sun and sasuke is the rest of space. this is "i am in naruto's world. i am blessed to exist" and orange and purple.

this is "i know your heart, and you, mine" and "every time i saw you suffering... i, too, felt pain" and "when I see you take on stuff and get all messed up, it kinda... hurts" and "if we both end up dying, you won't be an uchiha and i won't be the nine tails' jinchuriki anymore. we will be free of all our burdens, and we will finally be able to understand each other in the next world" AT IT'S FINEST, LIKE HELLO????

something about how the person i've been friends with for 15 years roots around in my kitchen cupboards like it's her own house and holds out fries for me to eat like we're 15 year olds on a date at mcdonalds

something about how there's only one person i can picture standing next to me, drying the dishes while i wash them, and no one else can take their place in my mind

something about how, no matter how long it's been since i've seen them or spoken to them, my friends from high school still talk to me like we just hung out at the park after school yesterday

something about human connection and the little things and love

being into ninjago is so funny because sometimes people will go “haha yeah ninjago! i loved that show as a kid lol kai should’ve been the green ninja” and bud. we are so so so far past that. now sit down we are discussing lloyd’s ongoing trauma. zane’s war crimes. nya just died

I believe no arc of Naruto or Naruto Shippuden hits as hard as the arc of the Land of the Waves, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but it's true.

It sets the tone of the entire story flawlessly. The whole Naruto thesis condensed on one mission.

The way it speaks so early and in so raw terms how unfair and corrupted the world of Naruto is. The first big mission of Team 7 is fully political. Go protect this man responsible for building a bridge that will bring prosperity to his land, what could ever go wrong?

⠀⠀⠀

It slaps the hell out of Team 7.

Here, see a tiny land ruled by crime and poverty. Do you want to speak about injustice?

Let's talk about heroes that end up in public execution and kids that are let to drown by their bullies and men who has to lie because they can't pay proper protection even if their job is crucial. Let's talk about kids begging for food in the street and single mothers that could get assassinated any day now and let's see what a prodigy with a blessed kekkei genkai has to tell you about how the world treats them out there. Let's see survival and bonds without white and black morals 'cause the definition of "crime" is vast and a criminal can be anyone. Let's see atonement that came too late and loyalty among bastards and compassion and the beauty of sacrifice.

Go see how your sensei almost dies and your teammates almost die and go see the enemy die to realize it doesn't fulfill you at all because the real enemy was a man with power controlling desperate people. And he, the real villain, was just sitting all along, waiting for you all to kill each other so he could later come and collect his gain.

There's a good reason why Naruto finds his resolve there. It's his manifest, his point zero.

Haku and Zabuza dead side by side while it snows is an image I could never erase from my brain. Zabuza's words are forever imprinted in my heart.

A healthy reminder, the Sun and Moon signs were on Naruto’s right and Sasuke’s left hands respectively. They lost their sun and moon symbols in the VOTE2 fight along with their arms. A symbolism of them being free of their wretched fates and being capable of deciding where they want things to lead them to.
