#and its funny because when ppl want to discuss naruto’s best friend (always ignoring how its canonically sasuke not matter how much they cr

dropping it here as well but the hill i will always die on is the fact that aside sasuke, sai’s friendship w naruto is the best one compared to all others because you simply see them grew on each other in Real on screen time and their dynamic is always funny but also meaningful. sai, although he admires naruto, he doesn’t seem to hold naruto in a hero pedestal like others do and naruto gives sai the normalcy he never got. also when sai assumes naruto is hurting due sasuke and the promise for lack of info and bad reading (since he never has seen how naruto and sasuke’s friendship in part 1 like others) he tries to get him off that burden but after seeing naruto reject sakura, he decides to come clean instead and gives him all the information so naruto has the opportunity of choosing whatever he wants to do which is miles different from what everyone else was doing then
