#let sasuke get flustered at little things like a typical 12y/os

[wisebeth]

one thing i will always be mad at sp for is not including any of the moments where sasuke. just. blushes. he has fair share of moments of blushing, whether it be because he's flustered or embarrassed or any other reason.

ch. 4 – he's flustered because sakura openly expressed her crush on him

ch. 18 – here he is blushing again in the cover art

ch. 19 – he's embarrassed to ask for help so there he goes, blushing.

ch. 34 – naruto and sasuke blushing at each other.

ch. 56 – even in sakura's memory, she remembers him blushing.

ch. 675 – even in kakashi's memories, he remembers to be blushing lmao.

i think the real reason why the removal of his blushing moments annoyed me is because despite all his trauma, cold & stoic demeanor and dark past which forced him to grow up early, he was still a child. he was still a twelve year old and small moments where he's simply with team 7, bickering with naruto or getting flustered actually reminds us he's still a child at his core. a child who was forced to grow up. or how the formation of this team and forming bonds with other people, especially naruto gave him a space to act his age, something which he didn't get to do since the uchiha massacre.

anyways, it's canon that genin sasuke is a blushing child. pass it one. here's another manga cover where he's flustered. what a dork.

if you remember more scenes where he's blushing, then feel free to add on.
