It was dark when Naruto showed up.
He looked about as shocked as she did, eyes wide, his knuckles frozen against the glass with another attempt at knocking. He smiled, soft and kind, if a little awkward, as if heâd been caught stealing kunai from her holster.
She slid the window open, âNaruto?â She questioned, watching him lead back against the wall. He was chakra walking, sitting on his feet in a position she doubted was comfortable.
âHey, Sakura-chan.â He said.
She raised a brow at the honorific. She rarely heard Naruto address her, or any of their friends, with honorifics directly anymore. âBit late to be out here, donât you think?â She said.
Naruto paused, eyes still wide as he looked past her into the lamplit village street, looking up at the night sky and then glancing into the darkness of her room. He hummed, turning into an awkward giggle, scratching the back of his headâa nervous habit sheâs used to seeing.
âI- I guess it to pretty late isnât itâŚâ He finally said, keeping a hand on his neck, âI didnât wake you did I?â
Sakura thought about saying yes. She hadnât, in truth, been remotely tired for the past few days. She supposed that spending her nights at the hospital was starting to muddle her schedule. âNo. I was awake.â She decided to be honest. âDid you need something?â She asked, leaning her weight against the frame. She couldnât remember the last time Naruto had come to her house. Very rarely, heâd come by when they were still Team 7. He never came just to talk.
âUmmâŚâ Naruto paused, which made her question him more, âI⌠Donât knowâŚâ
âYou donât know if you need something?â
âI⌠No?â He slumped further against the wall, folding his hands in his lap, before he rubbed at his pants.
He looked nervous. Sakura couldnât remember the last time sheâd seen this. âYouâŚâ She hesitated, looking back into her room, âYou want to come in?â
He looked surprised, going still as he processed the request. âYou sure?â
Sakura felt a spike of irritation but let it slide, opening the window wider and retreating inside. She kicked the stray clothes on the floor out of her way to hide under the bed to deal with in the morning. âI wouldnât have asked if I wasnât sure.â She said, going for the lights, but decided to flick on her bedside lamp instead.
When she turned back around, Naruto was standing in the window frame, finally letting her see him in the light. He looked tired, was her first thought. Like all that familiar bouncy energy was drained out of him. He wasnât wearing his usual jumper, just his bright orange pants and a plain white shirt. Lady Tsunadeâs gift disappeared under the neckline.
He looked like many visitors sheâd seen at the hospital in the past few weeks. Ones who she had to apologize to when somebody didnât make it.
âYou want something to drink?â She asked when he finally stepped inside, looking around her bedroom like heâd never seen it before. She supposes he hasnât, not from the inside anyway. âThere might be some tea I can make quickly, or if you want something sweeter, I think I saw-â
âIâm fine, Sakura.â He said quietly, âThanks.â
Sakura didnât like that tone. She must have made a face at it since Narutoâs eyes widened again.
âUmmâŚâ He said.
She squinted at him, biting the tip of her tongue, âStay here.â She ordered, turning quickly out of the room.
She quietly entered the kitchen, avoiding the floorboards that always creaked. To her luck, one water bottle was left in the fridge.
She looked at the closet where she knew more would be, debating with herself for a minute before she grabbed one more for herself and quickly stuck three back in the fridge. Sheâd have to remember to restock more in the morning.
When she returned to her room, Naruto was sat on her bed, still looking curiously around the room. His sandals had been taken off in her time away, which she was thankful for, and were sitting on the floor by a now-closed window, the blinds drawn shut.
She kicked the door lightly, seeing his attention snap to the noise. âHere.â She said, tossing the cold bottle.
He caught it easily, looking down at the label before saying, âThanks.â
She opened her bottle, knocking it against his as she sat beside him, taking a sip. Naruto followed her example, downing half the bottle.
âSo.â She said when he lowered the bottle, wiping access water from his lips. âYou figure out why your here?â
Naruto slouched, cradling the plastic bottle in his hands, turning it in his fingers. Sakura didnât move, fearing sheâd miss something in that blank gaze if she dared to move.
âI think⌠I wantedâŚâ He tried, the plastic crunching in his hands when he couldnât find the right words. âI want to apologize.â He turned his head towards her, gesturing, but his eyes remained glued to his hands.
That took Sakura by surprise. She suppressed her physical reaction, keeping her body still and her eyes unblinking. âWhat for?â She asked, genuinely confused.
âI was rude, back with Lady Hokage. I shouldnât have yelled at you,â He said, âI- It was uncalled for.â
Sakura straightened. Back in the Hokage palace? That had been days ago. She hadnât been particularly offended by Narutoâs storming off. Understood it to an extent. She was more offended at how he treated Lady Tsunade, disrespecting her in front of Kakashi-sensei and Shizune, even an elder toad sage! That was more uncalled for in her mind.
She was surprised when Tsunade declined Kakashiâs offer to lecture Naruto.
Even more shocked when Tsunade didnât go find him herself.
Sakura was expecting anger. Sheâd seen that reaction so many times before. Sheâs been yelled at by patientâs families. Screamed at by partners and spouses. Had to suppress the temptation to shout right back.
But the look in Tsunadeâs eye was sad. It was something Sakura didnât see often working under her.Â
âItâs okay.â Sakura decided, âI think I understand.â
Naruto shifted in his seat, âYou do?â He was quiet, tone soft, shocked.
She paused, chewing her words before admitting, âNot really. Iâve never lost somebody close to me before.â She said. âI donât know what youâre going through. I canât relate. But I do know that your grieving, and if Lady Tsunade taught me anything... Itâs a messy process.â
Naruto hummed, âDo you everâŚâ He paused, taking another swig of water.
She waited.
âDo you ever not like her?â He said quietly, âTsunade-sama.â He added quickly.
Under any other circumstance, sheâd probably hit him. However, âSometimes.â She admitted, for probably the first time to anybody, âSheâs hard on me, but she cares, and I care about her. Sheâs the reason Iâm working at the hospital, why Iâm a true medic-nin. I owe her everything.â
Naruto finally looked at her, watching.
âBut sheâs picky, and I swear she was always angry. She was drunk sometimes, and it made Shizune-chan angry.â She continued, âShe wasnât perfect. But she was my teacher, and the longer I was with her, the more I got to know her. The more I got to see her. You know?â
Naruto nodded, a tight smile on his lips. He looked back down at the water bottle, almost empty. âSometimes⌠Sometimes, I hated pervy sage.â He confessed, âHe was annoying and would always get me in trouble. Stopping at every hot spring for âresearch.ââ
Sakura reserved her rather harsh opinions for another time.
âWeâve been kicked out of so many hot springs.â He said, âThen he would make me read his boring books, saying, âTheyâre just first drafts. Things will get more exciting later-â I still donât understand why he wrote that stuff.â
Naruto was smiling, small and shy.
âHe snored really loudly and hogged all the blankets but never admitted it. He was cheap, and sometimes he took my money.â He continued, tone getting softer, âHe yelled at me, and when I yelled back, he just laughed⌠He bought me food and let me sleep in the same room as himâŚâ
She stayed quiet, letting her impression of Jiraiya fade into the background. Now wasnât the time.
âSometimes... All the time... I miss him.â He was so quiet she almost missed the admission.
She heard a waver in his voice and resisted the urge to hug him. It was a habit she didnât think she could truly let die, the urge to comfort somebody by holding them close. It was something she learned not everyone needed, not everyone wanted.
So she slowly, gently placed a hand on his back, light and easy to pull away from. She felt him tense, and she almost pulled away but was stopped when Naruto slumped forward against her. She followed, putting more pressure on his back.
Naruto was quiet now, sniffing quietly to himself. He still didnât pull away when she pressed closer, leaning her weight against his side.
They stayed quiet, staying close to one another, until she felt Naruto shift, pulling away slowly. She let him go immediately, smiling, feeling a burning in her own eyes.
He smiled back at her, small but still there. âThanks. Sakura.â
Warmth bloomed in her chest, a familiar feeling of family. âI think thereâs an old futon in the closet. Iâll go grab it.â She was already at the door when Naruto finally processed what she said. She shushed him because he was loud and her parents were asleep.
The futon was old and smelled like dust but in one piece. There was also one of her older comforters on the top shelf.
Naruto looked nervous when she handed it to him, shuffling on his feet.
âThe bathroom is down the hall if you need it.â He took the futon from her, setting his bottle on her bed. She gestured to it, âIf you need another one, I can get it. It might not be cold, though.â
âNo-!â He snapped his mouth shut, realizing heâd almost shouted, âNo, thank you,â He said instead, quieter.
She raised a brow, watching him stand awkwardly in the middle of her room. She glanced at her clock, internally scolded herself, and flopped onto her bed. âIf you actually wake me up I will hit you.â
There was a moment of silence. Sakura almost looked up, expecting the room to be empty, but then she heard shuffling. When she looked over the edge of her bed, Naruto lay on his back, staring at the ceiling, with borrowed covers pulled close to his chest.
He noticed her watching, looking up at her.
She grabbed the second pillow on her bed and tossed it down on him, hitting him in the face. âGood night.â She said, pulling her own covers over her shoulders.
She was already dosing off when she heard a quiet âNight.â

PAIRING : Sasuke Uchiha x GN!Reader
GENRE : hurt / comfort
WORD COUNT : 4.7k
SUMMARY : Since childhood, you were Sasukeâs quiet confidantâthe one who never chased him, yet never left. When he chose revenge over the village, you were left with only memories and a lingering hope. Now, years later, fate has reunited you. As old wounds heal and emotions resurface, Sasuke is torn between the life he once wanted and the connection he canât ignore. Will he finally let someone in, or is his heart too hardened by the past?
CONTENT / WARNINGS : emotional themes, grief trauma, abandonment issues, mild angst, slow-burn, heartfelt apologies, character growth, confession, no "y/nâ mentioned
SONG : Sweater Weather - The Neighbourhood

Your friendship with Sasuke began in a way that was unspoken, almost inevitable. You both belonged to prominent families, but there was no pressure to âbe closeâ or to constantly seek each otherâs company. The bond felt naturalâtwo kids who understood each otherâs silence, especially after Sasukeâs life changed forever.
After the Uchiha massacre, Sasuke withdrew from almost everyone, but you kept your distance in a way that felt respectful. You didnât try to force conversations with him the way others did, and he seemed to appreciate that. Youâd sit beside him sometimes in the academy, both of you content to let the quiet settle around you. When you did speak, it was about small things, or questions that didnât pressure him. Occasionally, youâd ask, âAre you doing okay?â or, âAnything on your mind?â He rarely answered with more than a nod or shrug, but there was a weight in his eyes, as if he wanted to say something he didnât know how to.
Once in a while, after classes ended or during breaks, youâd train together. Sasukeâs determination was fierce, as if each session was a step toward avenging his clan. He hardly talked about his family, but you noticed the way his expression changed, focused and almost haunted. And when he sat beside you to catch his breath, youâd make an effort to bring some lightness, whether through a quiet observation or a small joke. Sometimes heâd respond with the faintest of smirks, a rare sight that only a handful of people had seen. You might not have broken down his walls, but he trusted you enough to let you be there. That, in itself, was something you cherished.
â
As time went on, and as other classmates like Sakura and Ino developed crushes on Sasuke, your bond with him stayed steady, untainted by infatuation. While others would compete for his attention, you shared a camaraderie that didnât need grand gestures. It was in the small moments: the shared glances across the classroom, or the way heâd wait an extra second after a sparring match, silently making sure you were okay before nodding and walking away.
Sasuke, in his own way, came to cherish this friendship too, though heâd never say it. He appreciated that you didnât press for answers, nor did you treat him like a prize. Instead, you were just there, steady and patient, giving him the respect he couldnât find in others.
When he was placed in Team Seven, and you were assigned to another team, things changed. Yet, there was still that comfort in knowing youâd both be around the village, even if on separate missions. Occasionally, your teams would cross paths on joint assignments, and while he remained his usual reserved self, you noticed a small change in him when he spoke to you. Sasuke would look at you a bit longer, and his tone softened just slightly in a way that wasnât there with Naruto or Sakura. He wouldnât admit it, but your presence grounded him, giving him a fleeting sense of normalcy that no one else could provide.
On one particularly difficult mission, your teams had been caught in an ambush. You saw a rare flash of worry in his eyes when you were hit, even though he quickly masked it with his usual stoic demeanor. Later, as the teams rested and regrouped, heâd walked over to where you sat, silently offering a water canteen before looking out into the distance, as if pretending the exchange had never happened. But in that gesture, in that rare flicker of concern, you saw that he caredâeven if he didnât fully understand why.
The day he decided to leave, he sought you outânot under the cloak of night as he would with the others, but in broad daylight. Something about your friendship made him want to give you a proper farewell, even if he wasnât sure what that farewell should look like. The two of you walked to a quiet part of the village, a place where youâd once trained together as kids.
There was a heaviness in the air, a feeling that you couldnât quite place. Sasukeâs gaze was distant, but something in his expression seemed conflicted, almost vulnerable.
âNext time we see each otherâŚif that ever happensâŚâ he started, his voice trailing off. The words hung in the air, filling you with a sense of unease.
âWhat do you mean?â you asked, your heart sinking as you searched his face for answers.
He didnât respond immediately. Instead, he looked down, an almost guilty expression crossing his face before he straightened, hiding it with a mask of determination. âYouâve always beenâŚsomeone I trust,â he said, his voice almost inaudible, as if admitting it to himself for the first time.
Before you could ask him what he meant, he reached out, his hand lingering near yours for a moment. His fingers brushed against your wrist, a gesture so small yet filled with a weight you couldnât understand. âThank you,â he whispered, his voice softer than youâd ever heard it.
You opened your mouth to speak, to ask him to stay, but something stopped you. You knew that he had made up his mind. And so, instead, you simply nodded, swallowing the words you wanted to say. âTake care, Sasuke,â you replied, your voice barely holding steady.
He gave you one last look, something like regret flickering in his eyes, before he turned and walked away. You watched him go, realizing only after heâd disappeared from sight that this was his way of saying goodbye.
Later that night, as you replayed his words and his expression over and over, the truth sank in. Sasuke was leaving the village, leaving youâand it hurt. Yet, a small part of you felt honored to be the only one heâd said goodbye to. It was as if heâd left a piece of himself with you, a promise that, no matter how far he went, youâd always hold a place in his life.
You didnât know how long it would take, or if heâd ever return, but you decided then and there that youâd wait. Youâd wait for him, believing that, someday, heâd come back. And until that day, youâd carry his trust like a quiet vow, a reminder of the bond you shared that transcended words.
â
Three years had passed since that quiet farewell, and youâd held onto the memory of it. You didnât know if youâd ever see him again, but a part of you had always kept hope alive, silently believing heâd return. Then, as fate would have it, during a mission with several of the Konoha 11 to locate Sasuke after his fight with Itachi, you saw him again.
It was a mere glimpseâSasuke standing there, exhausted but resolute, his form silhouetted against the fading light. Your eyes locked, and time seemed to stop. There was no exchange of words, only a quiet, intense gaze that held unspoken emotions neither of you fully understood. The years of silence fell away, leaving only the remnants of an old, unbroken bond. Sasuke didnât smile, didnât offer any sign, but in that moment, something deep inside him stirredâa flicker of familiarity and comfort he hadnât felt in years.
And as you met his gaze, you felt the same. You didnât know why, but seeing him there, alive, felt like a missing piece of yourself had returned, even if only for a moment.
â
During the war, Sasuke had seen you again. And this time, he saw a different side of you. Where once youâd been quiet and patient, a steady presence in his life, you now carried a fierceness that impressed him deeply. He watched you fight with skill and determination, handling challenges with calm resilience that rivaled his own. There was something about your confidence, your unyielding spirit in the face of danger, that drew his attention more than heâd admit.
Heâd thought of you as the person whoâd always been there, waiting in silence, yet now he saw you as so much more. A subtle respect had grown within him, and while heâd never voice it aloud, a part of him admired your strength, your growth, and the way youâd found your own place in the world, even without him.
In his mind, he couldnât help but acknowledge it: Youâve become incredibleâŚin ways I never expected.
â
It was after the war, after everything had finally ended, that you saw him again. Heâd just come from the hospital, signs of fatigue in his features, but his gaze was clearer than youâd ever seen it. The two of you met by chance outside, and there was a moment of silent recognition as he nodded toward the path beside you, a quiet invitation.
You walked together in the growing twilight, the orange hues of the sunset casting long shadows around you as the last light dipped below the horizon. It was a familiar quietness, like so many moments from years ago, but this time, the air was charged with something heavier, something unresolved.
Finally, Sasuke stopped, looking away as he took a slow, measured breath. âIâŚ,â he began, his voice rough, uncertain. âI owe you an apology.â He looked down at his hands, almost as if searching for the right words, his expression unreadable but tense.
You stayed silent, letting him gather his thoughts. He was never one to speak easily, especially about matters so close to the heart, and you knew he needed the space to work through this on his own.
âI wasâŚcold,â he continued after a moment. His voice softened slightly, as if the admission took him by surprise. âBack then, I never⌠I never tried to explain myself. To anyone. Especially not to you.â
There was a brief pause, and he looked away, frustration crossing his face. âI donât know how to say this,â he muttered, more to himself than to you. Then, after a moment, he turned his gaze toward you, his expression uncharacteristically vulnerable. âBut I knew you were different. I knew I couldâŚcount on you. And I still left.â
Your chest tightened, emotions flooding in at the sound of his words. âSasuke,â you whispered, unsure if you wanted him to continue or stop altogether.
He held up a hand, his gaze intense as he looked at you fully. âLet me finish,â he said, his tone gentler but still firm. âIâve been thinkingâŚabout all of it. About how much you put up with. All the times you tried to help me, tried to understand me, and I never gave you a real answer.â
You could see the faintest hint of guilt in his eyes, a weight heâd carried, even if he didnât fully understand why. âWhen I left,â he continued slowly, âI told myself it was for revenge, that nothing else mattered. But that last day, when I saw youâŚâ He trailed off, searching your face as if looking for understanding. âIt feltâŚwrong. Leaving you behind. I couldnât explain it, not then. But it bothered me.â
You swallowed, feeling the lump in your throat. âThen why did you leave without a real goodbye?â you asked softly, your voice wavering.
Sasukeâs gaze dropped, his expression unreadable. âI thoughtâŚif I said more, if I tried to explain myself, Iâd be too weak to actually go,â he admitted, his voice barely audible. âAnd I thought I had to be strong, to cut all ties. But it wasnât that simple. You were the only one I said goodbye to. And even then, itâŚhaunted me.â
For a moment, the silence stretched between you, filled with years of unspoken words. You could see the conflict in his expression, the way he struggled to put his emotions into words. âI didnât realize how much Iâd hurt you by leaving,â he continued, his voice almost a whisper. âAnd now, I knowâŚI canât change what I did. But I needed to say Iâm sorry.â
Your heart ached at the vulnerability in his words, at the raw honesty youâd never seen from him before. âI was hurt, yes,â you admitted, fighting back tears. âI didnât understand why you had to go, or why you couldnât trust me enough to tell me. But I knew you had reasons. And despite everything, I forgave you long ago.â
He looked at you, surprise flickering in his eyes. âYou forgave me?â
You nodded, a small, bittersweet smile crossing your face. âI figured, if I kept holding onto the hurt, it would only make things worse. AndâŚI believed in you, Sasuke. Even if you didnât say it, I felt like you cared. That was enough.â
He seemed to struggle with your words, almost uncomfortable with the weight of your forgiveness. âYou always were too understanding,â he murmured, a hint of self-deprecation in his tone.
âAnd you were always too stubborn,â you countered gently, a soft laugh breaking the tension. âBut thatâs who you are.â
A faint, almost reluctant smile tugged at his lips. He looked away, as if the emotions were too much to bear. âI neverâŚexpected you to wait. For me to come back,â he said, his voice barely above a whisper.
You stepped closer, looking up at him, catching the brief flicker of uncertainty in his gaze. âItâs alright. Youâre here now.â
Sasuke let out a quiet breath, his gaze softening. âThank you,â he said, the words simple yet filled with meaning. It was as if, in that small phrase, he was saying everything he couldnât put into wordsâthe regret, the gratitude, the unspoken connection that had kept you tied to each other all these years.
As Sasuke turned to leave, the weight of his promise lingered in the air. The sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows over the village. You felt a renewed sense of hope, knowing that the bond you shared was stronger than ever, despite the trials you had both faced. And with that, a new beginning opened between youâa chance to rebuild not just your friendship but the trust and bond that had endured through years of silence and separation.
â
As the sun rose over Konoha, you found yourself at the training grounds, practicing your techniques. The rhythmic sound of your feet hitting the ground echoed through the quiet morning. You focused, but your thoughts kept drifting back to Sasuke. The lingering memory of his apology had stirred something within you, a warmth that urged you to hope for more.
âFocus,â a familiar voice called out, snapping you from your reverie. You turned to see Sasuke approaching, his brow furrowed in concentration as he watched you. âYour stance is off.â
You grinned, feeling a rush of happiness at the sight of him. âThanks for the tip, Sensei,â you teased lightly, adjusting your stance. He rolled his eyes, but a hint of a smile ghosted across his lips, reminding you of the boy you had known long ago.
As you trained together, the air buzzed with unspoken comfort. Occasionally, he would offer you pointers, his tone serious yet softening with every exchange. Each shared glance held unspoken understanding, a reminder of the bond you were slowly rebuilding.
â
One evening, you found a quiet spot near the river, the gentle sound of flowing water providing a calming backdrop. You both sat on the grass, enjoying the peace that surrounded you. The sunset cast a golden hue across the landscape, and you couldnât help but feel content.
âDo you remember the first time we came here?â you asked, breaking the comfortable silence. Sasuke glanced at you, the corners of his mouth twitching upward in a faint smile.
âYeah,â he replied, his voice thoughtful. âYou fell in the water trying to catch a frog.â
You laughed, the memory bringing warmth to your chest. âI was determined! But you helped me out,â you reminded him.
âBecause you wouldnât stop whining,â he shot back, but there was a hint of fondness in his tone. The two of you reminisced about old memories, the laughter bridging the gaps between the past and the present.
â
After a long day of training, you decided to share a meal. You prepared a simple dinner, and when Sasuke arrived, you laid out the food on a small table outside. The night air was cool, and fireflies danced around you as you both dug in.
âThis isnât bad,â he remarked after taking a bite, surprising you with his praise. You raised an eyebrow, unable to suppress a smile.
âJust ânot badâ? I thought I could impress you,â you teased, leaning back in your chair. Sasuke glanced at you, a flicker of amusement in his eyes.
âImpressing me isnât easy,â he replied, but there was a lightness to his words now, a softness that made your heart race.
As you both enjoyed the meal, the atmosphere was filled with easy conversation, laughter, and the comfort of companionship. It felt natural, as if the years apart had only strengthened the connection between you.
â
One night, after a particularly exhausting day, you both lay on the grass outside the village, gazing up at the stars. The sky was clear, and you pointed out constellations, your excitement palpable.
âLook, thatâs the Big Dipper!â you exclaimed, tracing its outline with your finger. Sasuke turned his head slightly, a glimmer of curiosity in his eyes.
âDo you really believe in that stuff?â he asked, a hint of skepticism in his voice.
âWhy not? Itâs nice to think thereâs something bigger out there,â you replied, glancing at him. He was silent for a moment, contemplating your words.
âMaybe,â he finally said, his tone thoughtful. âBut I thinkâŚwhatâs important is right here.â He motioned between the two of you, and the weight of his words settled warmly in your chest. It was a small moment, yet it held the promise of something deeper.
â
As the day approached for Sasuke to leave on his next mission, the mood between you grew heavier. You both knew it was part of his duty, part of who he was, but the thought of him being away again made your heart ache.
âBe careful,â you urged, your voice softer than usual as you stood at the village gate. He met your gaze, the intensity of his dark eyes making you feel like he was searching for something.
âI will,â he promised, and for a moment, you felt a sense of peace.
âJustâŚdonât take too long this time,â you added, trying to keep your tone light despite the lump in your throat. Sasuke paused, and in that moment, you saw the flicker of a smile.
âNext time we meet,â he said slowly, his voice steady, âIâll make sure to have a better goodbye.â And with that, he left, and you knew that this time, you would be waiting.
With each encounter, the distance that once defined your relationship faded, replaced by a deepening connection that felt both familiar and new. As time passed, you both embraced the changes, finding solace in each otherâs presence, which slowly turned from friendship into something more.
The journey had been long, marked by pain and loss, but now, as you walked alongside Sasuke once again, the path ahead felt promising. The bond you shared was evolving, hinting at the possibility of love, quietly waiting to be acknowledged.
â
As the weeks turned into months and the months quickly into a year, the bond between you and Sasuke continued to deepen. The unspoken tension between you lingered like an electric current, and every shared laugh, every moment spent in each otherâs company seemed to ignite something new in your hearts. Yet, while the connection felt undeniable, neither of you had taken the leap to acknowledge the shift. Sasuke, in particular, struggled with the burgeoning feelings that swirled within him.
Sitting outside on a warm summer evening, you both watched the sun dip below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink. The air was still, and for a moment, it felt as though time had stopped. You turned to look at Sasuke, who was staring intently at the sky, his face illuminated by the fading light.
âWhat are you thinking about?â you asked, breaking the silence. He shifted slightly, glancing at you with an expression that was both contemplative and guarded.
âJust⌠how everything has changed,â he replied, his voice low. âIt feels different now.â
You nodded, your heart fluttering at the possibility of him meaning more than just the sunset. âYeah, it really does. Weâve come a long way.â
He didnât respond immediately, and you could sense that he was grappling with something deeper, something he wasnât quite ready to voice. Sasuke had always been more comfortable with action than words, and you respected that, even as you wished he could share more of what was on his mind.
As the stars began to twinkle overhead, you lay back on the grass, watching the constellations appear one by one. âDo you remember the stories we used to tell each other about the stars?â you asked, your voice soft and reminiscent.
He chuckled softly, the sound warming your heart. âI remember you always had some elaborate story about them.â
âOf course! They were all very important,â you teased, sitting up to face him. âAnd you always pretended not to care, but I know you did.â
Sasuke looked at you, a faint smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. âMaybe I did,â he admitted, his gaze softening. âYou just⌠have a way of making things seem more interesting.â
That comment made your heart skip. You smiled back, feeling a rush of warmth at the sincerity in his eyes. âWell, Iâm glad I could entertain you.â
As the moments passed, you both fell into a comfortable silence. But the quiet between you was filled with an unspoken understanding, and that was when it struck Sasuke.
Days later, Sasuke found himself deep in thought as he trained alone in the woods outside Konoha. Each punch and kick felt more powerful, fueled by a growing sense of determination. But as the sweat dripped down his brow and he paused to catch his breath, it hit him like a jolt of electricity.
He loved you.
The realization was startling, yet it made perfect sense. You had always been there for him, through his darkness and his pain. You never pushed him to be someone he wasnât; instead, you patiently allowed him to be himself, to feel the way he felt, and to heal at his own pace. While he had spent years isolating himself, you were the one person who saw through his walls and accepted him as he was.
And it wasnât just about your patience; it was the way you challenged him. You made him think, you brought laughter into his life, and you shared your dreams and fears with him, fostering a connection that felt both intimate and genuine. You had never demanded anything from him, yet your presence was a light in the shadows that surrounded him.
As he stood there, a countless of emotions flooded himâfear, joy, and a fierce longing to express what he felt. But there was also anxiety; what if you didnât feel the same way? The thought of losing the friendship that meant so much to him was almost unbearable.
A week passed since Sasukeâs revelation, and he knew he could no longer keep his feelings to himself. The next evening, he invited you to meet him by the riverâthe same spot where you had shared so many laughs and memories. He arrived early, his heart racing with anticipation and dread.
When you approached, the sun was beginning to set, casting a golden glow on the waterâs surface. You smiled brightly at him, and for a moment, he forgot his nerves.
âHey! Youâre early!â you exclaimed, settling beside him on the bank.
âYeah, I wanted to make sure I had some time to think,â he replied, his voice steady despite the whirlwind of emotions inside.
âThinking about what?â you asked, tilting your head curiously.
He took a deep breath, preparing himself for what was to come. âAbout us,â he said, his tone serious.
Your eyes widened slightly, and he could see the intrigue mixed with concern in your expression. âUs?â
âYes.â He hesitated for a moment, searching for the right words. âIâve been doing a lot of thinking lately. About everythingâabout what weâve been through and how much you mean to me.â
You shifted slightly closer, your heart racing at the intensity of his gaze. âSasuke, what are you trying to say?â
He paused, gathering his thoughts, the weight of his feelings pressing down on him. âYouâve always been there for me. Even when I pushed everyone away, you never gave up on me. You let me be who I am, without judgment or expectation. And⌠I donât think I ever truly expressed how much that means to me.â
His words hung in the air, and you watched him, your breath caught in your throat. The sincerity in his eyes was palpable, and you felt a warmth spread through your chest. âI⌠I appreciate that, Sasuke. I really do.â
He swallowed hard, his resolve strengthening as he continued. âBut itâs more than that. Being with you, talking with you, training togetherâitâs brought me a sense of peace I didnât know I needed. And Iâve realized⌠I love you.â
Silence fell between you, the weight of his confession settling like a blanket over the two of you. Your heart raced, and you felt a mixture of shock and elation.
âYou love me?â you echoed, your voice barely above a whisper.
Sasuke nodded, his expression earnest. âI do. Iâve tried to ignore it, but itâs become impossible. I donât want to hide how I feel anymore.â
Tears pricked your eyes, not out of sadness, but joy. âSasuke, I love you too!â you exclaimed, unable to contain the happiness that bubbled inside you. âIâve felt this way for so long, but I never knew if you felt the same.â
A rare smile broke across his face, and the tension that had been coiled in his shoulders eased. âYou really do?â
âOf course!â You reached for his hand, intertwining your fingers with his. âYouâre my best friend. Iâve always cared for you, but itâs grown into something deeper, something beautiful.â
The moment felt surreal as you both sat there, fingers laced together, hearts racing in synchrony. Sasukeâs grip tightened around your hand, a warmth radiating from his touch that sent shivers down your spine.
âThen letâs not waste any more time,â he said, his voice soft yet resolute. âI want to be with youâfully, completely.â
You nodded, a wide smile spreading across your face. âI want that too.â
He leaned closer, and you could see the uncertainty in his eyes, a vulnerability that was rare for him. âCan I⌠kiss you?â he asked, his voice almost a whisper.
âYes,â you breathed, your heart racing as he leaned in. His lips brushed against yours, tentative at first, before deepening the kiss. It was sweet, filled with all the unspoken words and emotions that had built up between you over the years. Time seemed to stand still as you both melted into each other, the world around you fading away.
When you finally pulled apart, you felt breathless, a sense of joy flooding your heart. Sasuke smiled softly, and for the first time, you saw a glimpse of the warmth that lay beneath his typically stoic exterior.
âWow,â he murmured, his cheeks slightly flushed. âThat was⌠nice.â
You laughed, the sound light and full of happiness. âNice? Thatâs all youâve got?â
âI mean, it was more than nice,â he corrected himself, his gaze intense. âIt was everything.â
As the sun dipped lower in the sky, painting the horizon in shades of purple and gold, you sat together, hands intertwined, feeling an overwhelming sense of contentment. The future felt bright, filled with possibilities and adventures yet to come.
Sasuke glanced at you, his expression softening. âI know Iâm not great with words, but I want you to know Iâm here for you. Iâll always protect you.â
You squeezed his hand, a smile dancing on your lips. âAnd Iâll be here for you too, no matter what. Together.â
The two of you shared another kiss, the warmth of your connection solidifying the bond that had been formed through trials and time. With every moment spent together, you knew you would navigate whatever came next, hand in hand.

Gai and Kakashi are the healthiest Rivalry in Naruto
In Naruto, rivalry is a key component of the show. Showcasing how it can uplift and destroy the characters, their bonds and inpact their psyche.
In most rivalries, there is an end goal in mind, where a victor must exist and someone must lose something for the other to gain:
Sakura Vs. Ino was about who could attract the attention of a boy
Gaara Vs. Lee is a classic battle of Talent Vs. Hard Work.
Obito Vs. Kakashi was a one sided duel about Obito trying to get others to see him by dragging Kakashi down.
Hashirama Vs. Madara is the climatic battle of two people born into war, and both trying to find a way to end the cycle and coming to two different conclusions
Naruto Vs. Sasuke starts as a classic battle of fighting the strongest kid on the playground for dominance, and slowly evolves into a battle of wills to decide the best way to lead the world.
In most of these, friendships are built and destroyed over the rivalries. Some recover, others don't. But there's always an end goal in mind. Pulling the other down so the victor can stand above them. Proving their point with their physical prowess. Sometimes its about changing the perspective another holds, other times its proving ones worth, but no matter the battle, the end result is all about defeating their opponent to raise themselves in some way.
Which is where Gai and Kakashi's rivalry stands out amongst the rest. At first glance, it may be like Neji and Lee's rivalry, genius vs. hard work. Or maybe like Obito, people may think Gai is trying to defeat Kakashi to gain status, self worth or to improve his ego, but that's not the case.
The thing that changes Gai and Kakashi's rivalry, is that theirs is about raising one another up, not tearing each other down.
When Gai was young, he wanted to meet Kakashi's standards, and so he started challenging him. Like other rivals on the list, he thought he could defeat his Kakashi to prove himself and strengthen his beliefs on hard work vs. Genius... until the day he saw Kakashi training by himself...

Seeing how hard Kakashi pushed himself to stay on top, changed Gai's initial beliefs and made it go from wanting to take Kakashi down... to wanting to stand beside him.
Soon after, the challenges went from trying to defeat Kakashi, to a battle of understanding him. His challenges were no longer about just physical powress, but turned into games from eating competitions, to rock paper scissors, to silly dance offs. And with every new challenge, Gai learned more about Kakashi.
Wanting to win was still an aspect, the two do love to compete to win. But losing was no longer a consequence ro rheir core beliefs or self worth. Sure Gai added stipulations to his losses, but those to were to help self improve and regain focus. To make himself better to stay equal with his rival.
More than that, Kakashi also had to learn to lose with Gai. In doing so... he learned it was okay to fail. That not everything would have devastating consequences if he was not the best. The show never dives into this, but for someone who was forced to become a child soldier, and who learned that failure could equal death at a young age, thst losing could mean a loss of prestige or position... to be able to be challenged by Gai, eventually start losing often... was to realize it was safe to fall. That he could lose a challenge and his friend wouldn't even mock him if he won. For soneone eho must have had a bunch of rivals who try to tore him down (like Obito) this must have been so refreshing.
In the end, their rivalry works so well, because its about raising the other up. Gai can help see where Kakashi is at mentally in their challenges and get him out of his head to help Kakashi relax by allowing him to play. Whwre at first Kakashi helped Gai improve his skills as a child, and then helped him push past his limits as an adult. To validate his friend's hard work and dedication, as well as to just enjoy time together.
Their makes them better people, helps them compete and check in with one another, lets them bond. They learn more about one another and their own short comings through their challenges, and it lets them communicate in a way without putting the other down. No other rivalry in the show does this. For them its about friendship, comradery, and being there for each other in a way no one else on the list is.
Its one of the most beautiful things Kishimoto created in his works.

đđđŤđ¤! đđđŹđ¤đđđđđĽđĽ đŠđĽđđ˛đđŤ đđđŹđŽđ¤đ đą đđĄđđđŤđĽđđđđđŤ đŤđđđđđŤ






đđ: đđđđđđ, đđđđ, đđđ đđđđđđ, đđđđđđđđđ, đđđđ đđđ, đđđđđđđ, đđđđđđđđđđ, đđđđđđđđ, đđđđđđđ
Btw this is my first time writing and everything so sorry of this sucks btw

đđźđż đŽđ đšđźđťđ´ đđźđ đ°đŽđť đżđ˛đşđ˛đşđŻđ˛đż, you always been treated wrong by sasuke ever since pre-school it all started over a stupid joke. âForehead girl, Forehead girl!â The class then starts to laugh at sasuke towards you causing you to run out the class. You even heard the teacher snicker. But you never thought it could get worse from there. Your books would start missing, Notes would be ripped, Certain school supplies would be gone. Small things started to turn into big things. Youâll never forget how 3rd grade you had your first friend but he was a male.
The little boy name was Micheal. âWhy are you sitting by yourself?â You turn to him and simply respond shrugging your shoulders âDonât nobody wanna be friend cause they make fun of my forehead and laugh at me.â Micheal then lift up his hand putting it on your forehead. âI think itâs prettyâ He said looking up smiling at me. I then just sit there looking at him. âWanna be best friends?â I then just nod my head deciding to trust him. From that day on bonds were made. He was always there for you, He stood up to Sasuke when no once couldnât, He helped you throughout times your struggle. Until one faithful day a person caused your bonds to break. Running into the lunchroom you hear people enchanting the word âFIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!â Ruining into the crowd your jaw drops seeing Micheal snd Sasuke fighting. And oh boy did Micheal got the shit beaten out of him. Sasuke then gets up his punches still connecting to Micheal face his nose was bloody, mouth bleeding, he then proceeds to start kicking him in the gut. I then stand there horrified at the scene until security guards break up the fight. You go immediately visit Micheal at the hospital but wasnât welcomed. âIm sorry Y/n but I-i canât be befriends with you anymore not after what happened.â Meanwhile hearing the argument between you and Micheal Sasuke stands next to the door smirking to yourself. Without your Best friend by your side you were left alone AGAIN. When you took it up with the principal at the parents teacher conference nothing really got resolved his family seemed to have their ways causing the bullying to continue on.
But the last final straw was when your mom had passed away after that Y/n was never seen from again. Until she goes to a new high school called Konoha high school, but this school is expensive to be in so the only way Y/n had get in was because the principal felt guilty and was able to convince the rich school as to why you could go. And without having to pay for anything you was able to get in. When you took a tour around the school you could see why it was popular and expensive it had dorms, sports, trips and many more.
This could be a new start you thought yourself. "I've already made a new friends started classes yet!" Sakura laughed.
"Really??" You asked. If Sakura was making friends this quickly, maybe it would be okay for you. âYeah youâll eventually meet them to like Ino, tenten, Hinata,Temari, Theyâre really helpful and on the cheer team!â
âCheer team?â I asked curiously. âCould I try out?â Sakura nods her head. âItâs a long list and hard try outs but Iâll add you, you could probably be co captain if you do well, so just meet me after school for the tryouts.â She then goes on snd starts talking about other boys
"Yeah! And there's sooo many cute guys here! Like Sasuke, Naruto,Shikamaru, Choji, although Sai is straight up fugly."
"Wait wait wait- did you just say sasuke?â Your thoughts ran in circle thinking about him of seeing him after all these years. âHeâs so handsome but IVE never date him tho HES just a red flag.â Sakura said getting back to the point. âAnyway do you know him or something?â She asked curiously. I then take a deep breathe explaining what happend between me and him when we was little. âOh Im sorry that happend to you he could really be a big ass jerk sometimes.â She said comforting me.
âI did what?â A deep slant voice said. Your stomach dropped hearing the voice after many years. As you turned around to look at him he grown more better. His hair strands was more black and longer, He had muscles and broad shoulders, and he was much more taller than you. He looked at you in a moment before scanning and after his eyes widen seeing me. He then smirks, âYo long time no see Y/n.â You chuckled nervously looking at him. âYeah long time no see to you to sasuke.â With the tension in the between YALL 3 he apologizes for what happened and offer for me to hang with him at lunch and sakura I was hesitant at first but then agreed.
At lunch Sakura leaded you to there table as you sat down with your tray of food. You at there nervously until Sakura came with you just by looking at you she could tell your nervousness and was there to comfort you. As you sat down People at the table started laughing at you. Sakura whipped her head at them snapping at them. âWhatâs so funny?â They then pointed to your seat and when you got up it was a big red spot on your skirt. You gasp horribly getting up out of your seat running off. Sasuke snickered. âAlways running off like a pussycat.â Sakura then runs after me. âHey hey itâs ok calm downâ other girls then came in running after me. âOh and by the way Thats tenten with the two buns, Temari is with the blonde pigtails and ini is with the blonde ponytail and and Hinata is with the purple hair.
âBy the way did you sign up to have dorms cause if you did they said for the schedule you have it with usâ Temari speaks. âYeah I signed up but I donât know where the dorms are actually.â They then grab me showing me to dorms basically welcoming me into their friend group. Now to explain the side of these dorms we have boys and girls. We then walk into the big dorms while we look on the other side we see that the boy sides is well very dirty. Ten ten chuckles nervously. âDONT mind that side Thats where sasuke, Naruto, shikamaru, and chino stay at.â They then grab me introducing me to my dorm room. âSo who will be my dorm mate?â Sakura then squeals âIâll be your roommate!â She then shows me our dorms. âSorry if you donât like it I think I kinda over decorated it.â
âNo no itâs fine.â I said looking at the room. But because itâs after school Sakura decided to take me out to cheer tryouts. Of course Hinata and the rest of them are on the cheer team.
Sasuke Uchiha.
Even from across the gym, you could feel his piercing onyx eyes on you, as if heâd already recognized you despite the years that had passed. His expression was unreadable, but you could practically sense the simmering arrogance radiating from him.
The memories hit you like a wave. Sasuke had made your life hell when you were kids, teasing you relentlessly. Heâd mocked everything about youâyour clothes, your voice, even your dreams. It wasnât just childish teasing; his words had cut deep. You thought youâd left all of that behind when you moved, but here he was, as smug and intimidating as ever.
âEarth to Y/n,â Sakuraâs voice snapped you out of your thoughts. She followed your gaze to the basketball team, where Sasuke was now laughing with Naruto, Shikamaru, and Choji. âOh. Yeah, heâs still as much of a jerk as ever. Donât let him get to you.â
You nodded, shaking off the uneasy feeling and focusing on the tryouts. You were determined to nail this.
The basketball team was mid-practice when Sasuke finally looked over at the cheer tryouts. He recognized you immediately, even though it had been years. You looked⌠different now. More confident. Stronger. He couldnât explain why seeing you here irked him so much.
âYo, Sasuke,â Naruto called, tossing him the ball. âYou good?â
âHn,â Sasuke grunted, brushing it off. But his eyes flicked back to you, watching as you executed a perfect tumbling pass, your hair catching the light.
Naruto followed his gaze and grinned. âOh, is that [Name]? Sakuraâs friend? She just transferred here, right? Sheâs cute.â
Sasuke scowled, gripping the ball tighter. âTch. Sheâs nothing special.â
Shikamaru raised an eyebrow. âYou donât sound convinced.â
âDrop it,â Sasuke snapped, shoving past them to make a layup. But even as he practiced, his mind kept drifting back to you.
By the time tryouts were over, you were exhausted but exhilarated. Youâd made it onto the squad, and your friends were cheering you on.
âCongrats!â Temari said, slinging an arm around your shoulders. âWeâre gonna dominate this season.â
As you all walked out of the gym, you felt a presence behind you. Turning around, you found Sasuke leaning casually against the wall, his dark eyes fixed on you.
âDidnât think Iâd see you here pussycat,â he said, his voice smooth but laced with something you couldnât quite place.
Your heart sank. âSasuke.â
He smirked, that same infuriating smirk you remembered from years ago. âStill as annoying as ever, huh? Thought youâd finally crawl back to whatever hole you came from.â
Your hands clenched into fists, but Sakura stepped in before you could say anything. âBack off, Sasuke,â she said sharply. âShe doesnât have time for your crap.â
âRelax, I was just saying hi,â Sasuke said, his smirk widening as he pushed off the wall and walked away.
You watched him go, your chest tightening with frustration. It was clear that Sasuke hadnât changed one bit.
But this time, you werenât a scared kid anymore. If he thought he could walk all over you like before, he was in for a rude awakening.
As Sasuke walked away, he felt the corner of his mouth twitch into a smirk, though his mind was anything but calm. You. Of all people, you were back in his life. And, worse, you werenât the meek, easily-flustered little girl he used to toy with for fun. No, this new version of youâconfident, beautiful, and unapologetically fieryâwas different.
It pissed him off.
What makes her think she can waltz in here like she owns the place? he thought, his fists tightening in his pockets. He could still hear Sakuraâs sharp tone defending you, and it made his blood boil. You didnât need her protection. If anything, you needed to be reminded of your place.
When Sasuke reached the locker room, his teammates were already there, laughing and joking, but their chatter blurred into white noise. He leaned against the cool metal of the lockers, his head tipped back, eyes closing as frustration gnawed at him. But beneath the irritation, there was something darkerâa sense of possession he couldnât shake.
She thinks sheâs untouchable now, doesnât she? The thought made his lips curl into a sneer.
Images of you flashed in his mind, unbidden and vivid. That cheer uniform hugging your curves, the determined glint in your eyes as you performedâtoo confident for your own good. You werenât the girl he used to knock down with a few harsh words. No, youâd grown up into someone more⌠challenging.
And he hated how much he wanted to break that confidence.
What would it take to see her crack? The idea gripped him, spiraling into something darker. Maybe heâd pull you aside after practice, just the two of you, his words sharp and biting until you finally dropped that fiery attitude. Heâd corner you in the empty halls, his presence looming until you couldnât look him in the eye, and thenâthen youâd realize you hadnât outgrown him, not really.
He imagined the way your breath would hitch if he leaned too close, his voice low and taunting as he whispered things only he could say to you. The way youâd look at him, defiant at first, but eventually⌠Youâd understand you were his to torment. His to claim.
His jaw clenched, and he slammed a fist into the locker, the metallic clang silencing the room.
âDamn, Sasuke, whatâs your problem?â Naruto asked, eyeing him warily from across the room.
âNothing,â Sasuke snapped, his voice cold.
âYeah, right. Youâve been acting weird since [Name] showed up,â Naruto continued, undeterred. âWhat, still holding a grudge? OrâŚâ His grin widened. âYouâre into her, arenât you?â
Sasukeâs glare couldâve frozen fire. âShut up, idiot.â
Naruto laughed, but Shikamaru raised an eyebrow from his spot on the bench. âYou know, if youâre this worked up, maybe sheâs the one getting under your skin this time.â
That comment earned a snarl. Sasuke shoved past them, heading straight for the showers, the cold spray doing little to cool the heat coursing through him.
Iâll remind her who I am, he thought darkly, his lips curving into a cruel smirk as water dripped down his face. She might think sheâs untouchable now, but Iâll fix that.
The game was far from over. And Sasuke always won.
The weekend rolled in with bright skies and an air of excitement. You were out on the campus lawn with your friend group, laughing and chatting as you enjoyed the rare break from classes and cheer practice. Sakura, Temari, TenTen, and Hinata surrounded you, their energy infectious as they talked about their upcoming plans.
But what made the day even better was your boyfriend, Kaito. He was sweet, charming, and attentive in a way that made you feel cherishedâa stark contrast to certain people youâd rather not think about. Kaito had been quick to approach you when you transferred, drawn to your wit and personality. It didnât take long for the two of you to hit it off. Now, here you were, sitting next to him with his arm draped casually over your shoulder, his easy smile making your cheeks warm.
âYouâre lucky,â Temari teased with a smirk, nudging your side. âKaitoâs got half the school crushing on him, and heâs here doting on you.â
You laughed, leaning into his warmth. âWell, what can I say? Guess Iâm just lucky.â
Across the campus, Sasuke stood with his own group, his sharp eyes locked on you. Naruto was busy teasing Hinata, who had wandered over to join him, while Shikamaru had his arm slung lazily around Temari. Choji was munching on chips as usual, and TenTen was laughing about something with Neji.
But Sasuke? His mood was dark.
âDamn,â Naruto said, elbowing Sasuke. âYouâve been staring at her all afternoon. Youâre gonna burn a hole through her or something.â
âShut up, Naruto,â Sasuke growled, but his glare didnât waver. The sight of Kaito sitting so close to you, his hand on your shoulder like he had any right to touch youâit made his blood boil.
Shikamaru, leaning against a tree, raised an eyebrow. âYouâre sulking because sheâs got a boyfriend, huh? Thought you didnât care about her.â
âI donât,â Sasuke snapped. His fist clenched, though, betraying his calm tone. âBut sheâs making a fool of herself with that guy. Heâs not good enough for her.â
Shikamaru smirked, clearly amused. âAnd who is? You?â
âTch.â Sasuke turned away, his jaw tightening. âForget it.â
Later that afternoon, you excused yourself from the group to grab a water bottle from the vending machines near the gym. The hallways were quiet, the distant echoes of basketball practice barely audible. You were about to turn the corner when a hand grabbed your wrist and yanked you into an empty hallway.
âHeyâwhat the hell?â you yelped, your heart racing until you saw who it was.
Sasuke.
His dark eyes bore into yours, his grip firm but not painful. The air between you felt heavy, his towering presence pinning you in place.
âWhat do you think youâre doing?â he asked, his voice low and sharp.
You yanked your arm free, glaring up at him. âWhat are you talking about?â
âThat guy.â His words were practically spat out. âKaito. You think he actually cares about you?â
You scoffed, crossing your arms. âAnd what would you know about it, Sasuke? You donât know him, and you sure as hell donât know me anymore.â
His smirk was anything but friendly. âOh, I know you, [Name]. Better than he does. Better than he ever will.â
âGet over yourself,â you snapped, stepping back. But he followed, his presence overwhelming.
âYouâre playing a dangerous game,â he murmured, his tone dark and possessive. âYou think Kaitoâs gonna protect you? Keep you safe?â
âI donât need anyone to protect me,â you shot back. âLeast of all you.â
His smirk faltered, replaced by something colder. âJust remember this, [Name]. If he screws up, Iâll be there. And donât think for a second Iâll let you forget who you belong to.â
You felt your blood boil. âI donât belong to anyone, least of all you, Sasuke. So stay out of my life.â
You shoved past him, your heart pounding as you hurried down the hall. Sasuke returned to the court, his mood even darker than before. Naruto was the first to notice.
âWhatâs with you now?â he asked, dribbling the ball lazily.
Sasuke leaned against the wall, his eyes narrowing. âSheâs wasting her time with that idiot. I donât get what she sees in him.â
âYouâre jealous,â Shikamaru said simply, his tone bored but amused.
âIâm not jealous,â Sasuke bit out.
âYeah, sure,â Naruto said with a grin. âThatâs why youâre acting like someone stole your favorite toy.â
Sasuke glared at him, but Shikamaru only smirked. âIf youâre so bothered by it, why donât you just tell her how you feel?â
Sasuke scoffed, running a hand through his hair.
âNone of your business,â Sasuke muttered.
âYouâre acting like a psycho,â Shikamaru said, not bothering to sugarcoat it. âYou want her? Fine. But this whole âbully her until she comes runningâ thing isnât gonna work.â
Sasukeâs smirk was sharp, dangerous. âSheâll come around.â
âAnd if she doesnât?â Naruto pressed, genuinely curious.
Sasukeâs eyes darkened, his voice low and venomous. âThen Iâll make her.â
The room fell silent, his words lingering like a threat. Sasuke leaned back, arms crossed as his teammates exchanged wary glances. No one dared to challenge him, not when his mind was set.
Because when Sasuke Uchiha wanted something, he always got it.
The energy in the gymnasium reached a fever pitch as students from both schools filled the bleachers for homecoming. The court gleamed under the bright lights, the cheers of the crowd blending into an electrifying roar. It was basketball players against basketball players, cheerleaders against cheerleaders, and everyone was here to win.
The home teamâs basketball lineup was stacked: Sasuke, Naruto, Shikamaru, Choji, Neji, and Kiba. Each of them wore determined expressions as they warmed up on the court, the pride of their school riding on their shoulders.
The cheer squad, led by you, was just as ready. Alongside you were Sakura, Temari, Hinata, TenTen, Ino, and Karin, all dressed in matching uniforms that sparkled in the gym lights. The six of you had been practicing nonstop for weeks, and now it was time to show off your hard work. The first half of the basketball game was intense. Sasuke led the charge with sharp precision, his movements fluid and calculated as he dominated the court. Narutoâs energy was infectious, his quick passes and layups keeping the crowd on their feet. Shikamaruâs strategic plays, Kibaâs aggressive defense, Nejiâs perfect aim, and Chojiâs sheer power kept the opposing team on their toes.
Every time one of them scored, you and the cheer squad erupted into choreographed chants and routines, pumping up the crowd with your high-flying stunts and sharp moves.
The rival cheer squad was just as fierce, matching your energy with routines of their own. But the moment came for the halftime cheer battle, and the gym fell silent with anticipation.
The rival squad went first, nailing a routine filled with flips, basket tosses, and tight formations that left the crowd roaring.
But when it was your turn, you and your squad brought the fire. From the moment the music started, you hit every move with precision. Temari and Sakura nailed their tumbling passes, Hinataâs flyer stunts were flawless, and TenTenâs powerful jumps drew cheers from the crowd. You and Ino closed the routine with a jaw-dropping stunt, hitting the perfect scorpion pose at the peak of a basket toss.
When your routine ended, the crowd erupted into deafening cheers, and it was clear your squad had stolen the show.
âHell yeah!â Naruto yelled from the bench, pumping his fist in the air.
âOf course, we crushed them,â Temari said confidently, high-fiving you as you returned to the sidelines.
Everything was perfect. Or so you thought. As you grabbed a water bottle, laughing with your friends about your routine, your eyes scanned the gym for your boyfriend, Kaito. But what you saw made your stomach drop.
Kaito was standing near the bleachers with one of the rival teamâs cheerleaders, a girl in a red and black uniform. They were laughing together, her hand resting on his chest in a way that made your skin crawl.
And then he kissed her.
Your bottle slipped from your hand, clattering to the floor. The noise drew the attention of your friends, who followed your gaze.
âNo way,â Ino whispered, her jaw dropping.
âThat bastard,â Temari hissed, her eyes narrowing.
Sakuraâs hand flew to her mouth. âI canât believe him.â
Even Hinata, usually so kind and quiet, frowned deeply. âHow could he do that to you?â
On the court, Sasuke had seen the whole thing. His dark eyes narrowed as he tracked the scene, his grip on the basketball tightening.
âLooks like Kaitoâs showing his true colors,â Shikamaru said lazily, though his sharp gaze lingered on you.
Narutoâs brows furrowed. âWhat the hell? Thatâs messed up. Poor [Name].â
Kiba growled under his breath. âShe doesnât deserve that.â
Sasuke said nothing, but the dark look in his eyes spoke volumes. He wasnât angry for youâno, it was more selfish than that. He was furious that Kaito had dared to think he could have you in the first place. Despite the betrayal, the halftime performance couldnât wait. You wiped your eyes quickly, forcing yourself to focus as the music started. Your movements were sharp, your smile forced but unshaken as you executed the routine perfectly.
Sakura placed a hand on your shoulder as you transitioned to the next formation, her eyes full of silent support. Temari took the lead on a tumbling pass, her fierce energy spurring the crowd into cheers. Ino and Hinata executed their stunts flawlessly, while TenTen added a powerful jump combination that brought the house down.
You finished the routine with a show-stopping pyramid, standing tall at the top despite the ache in your chest.
The crowd erupted into applause, and as you climbed down, Temari whispered, âYouâre stronger than this, [Name]. Donât let him see you break.â
You nodded, your resolve hardening. The boys returned to the court, their energy even fiercer than before. Sasuke played like a man possessed, his movements sharp and unforgiving as he dominated the court. Every time he scored, his dark eyes flicked to you, as if silently daring you to look away.
Naruto matched his energy, his usual playful demeanor replaced by a fiery determination. Kiba and Neji locked down the rival teamâs offense, while Choji and Shikamaru coordinated flawless plays.
The game ended with an overwhelming victory for your team, and the gym erupted into cheers.
As you packed up with your friends, you felt a dark presence behind you. Turning, you saw Sasuke, his smirk sharp and his gaze heavy.
âKaitoâs a waste of time,â he said, his voice low so only you could hear. âYou know that now, donât you?â
You glared at him, your voice steady despite the storm inside you. âItâs none of your business, Sasuke.â
He stepped closer, his smirk deepening. âYouâll see, princess. Youâll forget about him soon enough.â
And with that, he walked away, leaving you with more questions than answers.
The weekend had finally arrived, and for once, the group chat was blowing up with excitement. After the chaos of homecomingâthe cheer battle, the drama with Kaito, and the aftermath of the gameâyou and your friends decided it was time for a girlsâ day. No boys, no distractions, just you, Sakura, Temari, Ino, Hinata, Karin, and TenTen enjoying each otherâs company.
The plan was simple: brunch, shopping, and an all-night movie marathon back at the dorms. The cafĂŠ was warm and cozy, the scent of freshly brewed coffee and baked goods filling the air as you all gathered around a large corner table.
âIâm still pissed about Kaito,â Temari said bluntly, stabbing her fork into a stack of pancakes. âSeriously, what kind of idiot cheats during homecoming? In front of half the school, no less.â
You sighed, swirling your straw in your iced coffee. âIâd rather not talk about him, honestly. Iâm over it.â
âGood,â Ino said with a flip of her hair. âBecause heâs not worth your time. If you ask me, he was holding you back anyway.â
âI agree,â Hinata said softly, offering you a kind smile. âYou deserve someone who respects you.â
âOr no one at all!â Karin added with a smirk. âWho needs guys, anyway? Theyâre all trouble.â
âSpeak for yourself,â Sakura teased, leaning back in her chair. âSome of us have boyfriends who arenât jerks.â
âYeah, howâs Mr. Random these days?â Temari asked with a raised eyebrow.
Sakura laughed. âHeâs fine, thanks for asking. But letâs not make this about me. Whatâs our shopping plan?â The mall was buzzing with life, and the seven of you wasted no time diving into your favorite stores.
âTry this on!â Ino exclaimed, holding up a sparkly dress in your direction.
âAbsolutely not,â you said, laughing as she shoved it into your arms anyway.
Temari and TenTen were busy sorting through racks of jackets, debating the merits of leather versus denim, while Karin inspected a display of sunglasses.
Hinata, ever the quiet one, was browsing through a rack of cozy sweaters, her cheeks pink from all the attention she kept drawing.
âSasukeâs going to lose his mind when he sees you in this,â Sakura whispered to you with a sly grin as you held up a fitted outfit in the mirror.
You rolled your eyes. âIâm not dressing for him.â
âUh-huh, sure youâre not,â Ino teased, nudging you.
âLeave her alone,â Hinata said gently, though her smile was teasing. âLet her have fun without thinking about him for once.â
You appreciated the support, even if the thought of Sasuke had been lingering in the back of your mind. Heâd been acting stranger than usual lately, and the tension between you two was undeniable. By the time you returned to the dorms, your arms were full of shopping bags, and everyone was buzzing with excitement for the movie marathon.
Temari and TenTen set up snacks, a mix of popcorn, chips, and candy spread across the coffee table. Karin queued up the movies, while Hinata and Ino fussed over blankets and pillows, making the space as comfortable as possible.
âAlright,â Sakura said, plopping onto the couch with a tub of ice cream. âWhat are we watching first?â
âSomething scary,â Temari suggested, her grin mischievous.
âNo way!â Hinata protested, clutching a pillow to her chest.
âHow about a rom-com?â Ino suggested, earning groans from half the group.
In the end, you settled on an action-packed blockbuster, complete with explosions and dramatic one-liners. The room was filled with laughter and playful banter as you all got comfortable, the stress of the past week melting away. Somewhere between the second and third movie, the conversation shifted.
âDo you ever think about what life wouldâve been like if we werenât all so⌠competitive?â Sakura asked, her voice soft.
Temari snorted. âBoring, thatâs for sure.â
âI like the way things are now,â TenTen said, stretching. âWe might argue sometimes, but weâve got each otherâs backs.â
Karin nodded. âYeah. Even when things suckâlike [Name] dealing with Kaitoâwe stick together.â
You smiled, warmth blooming in your chest. âI couldnât ask for better friends.â
Hinata reached over to squeeze your hand. âAnd weâll always be here for you.â
As the night wore on, you felt lighter than you had in weeks. The drama with Kaito, the tension with Sasukeâit all seemed so far away when you were surrounded by your friends.
Whatever challenges lay ahead, you knew you wouldnât face them alone. The next day you actually decide to go with Sakura idea with changing yourself
Sakura, Ino, and Temari had practically dragged you into their rooms earlier, determined to give you a âmakeover.â
âOkay, this is perfect,â Temari said, holding up a black halter crop top and a pair of low-rise jeans with a statement belt.
âAdd these,â Ino said, handing over a pair of silver hoop earrings, a Dior necklace, and sleek sunglasses.
âAnd donât forget the Prada bag!â Sakura chimed in, holding up a chic black purse.
âYou have to wear these heels too,â Hinata said shyly, placing strappy black stilettos at your feet.
You stared at the collection of clothes and accessories, feeling both nervous and excited. âAre you sure about this?â
âStop doubting yourself!â Ino said, practically shoving you toward the bathroom. âTrust usâyouâll look incredible.â
When you finally stepped out of the bathroom, the girlsâ reactions were instantaneous.
âHoly crap,â Temari said, giving an impressed whistle.
âShut up, you look like a celebrity,â Sakura said, her eyes wide with approval.
âSeriously, [Name],â Ino added, a grin spreading across her face. âYouâre going to make jaws drop.â
You turned to the mirror, and your breath hitched. The sleek black halter top paired perfectly with the low-rise jeans, accentuating your curves without overdoing it. The accessories tied everything together, giving the outfit a polished, glamorous look, and the strappy heels added just the right amount of height.
For the first time in a while, you felt bold, confidentâunstoppable.
âOkay,â you said with a shy smile, âyou win. I love it.â Walking into school that day felt like something out of a dream. The moment you stepped into the main building, the atmosphere shifted. Heads turned, conversations paused, and a ripple of whispers followed your every step.
âIs that [Name]?â someone murmured.
âDamn, she looks so good,â another voice said.
You kept your head high, the confidence from your new look radiating with every step. It wasnât about the attentionâit was about how you felt. And for the first time in a long while, you felt completely in control.
When you met up with your cheer squad in the courtyard, their reactions were just as enthusiastic.
âYou actually did it!â Sakura exclaimed, grinning from ear to ear. âI told you youâd look amazing.â
âYouâre killing it,â Karin said, adjusting her own sunglasses.
âEveryoneâs talking about you,â Temari said with a smirk.
Hinata blushed, offering you a soft smile. âYou look⌠stunning.â
TenTen nodded in agreement. âThis is a total power move. Iâm here for it.â
As the girls hyped you up, you couldnât help but smile. For the first time, you felt like you were exactly where you belongedâconfident, carefree, and surrounded by the best friends you could ever ask for. new outfit, it was like the air shifted. Every hallway you entered became unnervingly quiet as heads turned and eyes followed your every step. You were oblivious to it all, smiling and waving at familiar faces as you made your way to class, but the boys? They werenât subtle.
âYo, [Name]!â Kibaâs voice rang out behind you as you reached for your locker. You turned, surprised to see him practically jogging toward you with a cocky grin on his face.
âYou look⌠different today,â he said, his eyes roaming your outfit unapologetically. âI like it. Maybe youâd let me take you out sometime?â The day had started like any other: tense, unpredictable, and exhausting. Ever since you had transferred to Konoha High, it had been like living in a nightmare, and the devil running it all was Sasuke Uchiha. He wasnât just the schoolâs star athlete or the handsome boy every girl fawned overâhe was untouchable. The heir to the Uchiha family, the wealthiest and most dangerous mafia in the region, Sasuke owned the school. Literally.
It started smallâyour textbooks disappearing, your locker being tampered with. Then it escalated. Falsely being accused of cheating on a major test, only for the principal to call you into his office, pretending to be âconcernedâ while Sasuke stood smugly behind him.
âI saw her,â Sasuke had said, his tone calm but full of venom. âShe had notes hidden in her lap. I figured someone like her wouldnât be smart enough to pass on her own.â
Your protests had fallen on deaf ears, and while you werenât formally punished, the damage to your reputation was done. Sasuke always made sure of it.
You blinked at him, confused. âTake me out? Like, to lunch?â
Kiba chuckled, stepping closer, his tone dropping to something lower. âSure, lunch⌠or whatever else youâd like.â
âOh! Um, thanks, but I think Iâm okay,â you replied, smiling politely but completely missing his insinuation.
Before Kiba could press further, Sai appeared, sliding in smoothly with his usual unreadable smirk. âKiba, youâre coming on too strong,â Sai said, his voice calm but condescending.
âMind your business,â Kiba snapped, glaring at him.
Sai ignored him, his sharp gaze fixed on you. âDonât let him bother you, [Name]. You look stunning today. Really⌠captivating.â His words made your stomach twist, though you couldnât place why.
âOh, um, thank you, Sai,â you mumbled, nervously tucking a strand of hair behind your ear.
âWhy donât I walk you to class?â Sai offered, taking a step closer.
âI was talking to her first!â Kiba cut in, stepping between you and Sai.
The two boys squared off, each sizing the other up like you were some kind of prize to be won. You took a step back, unsure how to handle the sudden tension. Now, you were standing in one of the schoolâs storage closets, the faint scent of cleaning supplies and dust filling your nose. The problem? You hadnât willingly walked in here.
It had been another one of Sasukeâs âgames.â Heâd cornered you during lunch, his dark eyes gleaming with malicious amusement.
âWhat do you want?â youâd demanded, clutching your tray tightly.
âTo talk,â he had said smoothly before leaning closer, his voice dropping to a whisper. âIn private.â
You had tried to refuse, but it didnât matter. Within moments, heâd dragged you down an empty hallway, ignoring your protests and shoving you into the closet. The sound of the lock clicking into place sent a wave of panic through you.
âSasuke!â you yelled, pounding on the door. âLet me out!â
On the other side, you could hear his deep chuckle, full of mockery.
âNot until you say âplease,ââ he taunted.
âIâm serious! This isnât funny!â
âOh, but it is,â he replied, his voice dripping with condescension. âYouâve been walking around like you own the place lately, acting like youâre untouchable. I think you need a reminder of whoâs really in charge here.â
Your hands balled into fists, tears of frustration prickling at your eyes. âWhat is wrong with you? Why do you keep doing this to me?â
There was a brief pause before he spoke again, his tone colder this time. âBecause I can. And because you need to learn that no one crosses an Uchiha.â
You slumped against the door, the weight of his words sinking in. There was no point in fighting him. No matter how much you wanted to report him, no one would believe you. The teachers, the principalâeven the other studentsâthey were all under his familyâs thumb. Eventually, he opened the door, his smirk as sharp as a knife. You tried to shove past him, but he grabbed your arm, pulling you back into the room.
âNot so fast,â he said, his voice low and threatening. âYou think you can just walk away?â
âLet me go,â you snapped, trying to wrench your arm free, but his grip was ironclad.
He stepped closer, his dark eyes boring into yours. âYouâre so naive, you know that? Always acting like youâre better than me. Like you donât notice the way people look at you.â
You froze as his free hand brushed against your waist, his touch lingering for far too long.
âStop it,â you said, your voice trembling.
âWhy?â he asked, leaning in so his breath tickled your ear. âYou donât seem to mind when other guys look at you. Or is it just me you have a problem with?â
Your stomach twisted in disgust as his hand moved up to your chin, forcing you to meet his gaze. âYouâre pathetic,â he said, though his tone was almost⌠possessive. âThinking you can escape me. Thinking you can avoid me.â
He finally released you, but not before brushing his fingers along your jaw. âGet used to it, [Name]. No oneâs going to save you from me.â By the time you escaped his grip, you were trembling, anger and humiliation boiling inside you. But as you made your way to class, it was obvious nothing would change.
When you told Sakura and the others what had happened, they listened with concern but eventually fell silent, exchanging nervous glances.
âWhat?â you asked, your voice breaking.
âItâs not that we donât believe you,â Sakura said carefully, her eyes flickering to the side. âItâs just⌠itâs Sasuke. He gets away with everything.â
âWhy doesnât anyone do anything about it?â
âBecause theyâre scared,â Hinata whispered, her voice barely audible. âHis family⌠they have too much power. Even the police donât interfere with them.â
You wanted to scream, to cry, but you didnât. Instead, you steeled yourself, determined not to let him break you.
But Sasuke wasnât done. He never was. It wasnât just the bullying. It was the way he always seemed to be watching you, his dark gaze following your every move. The way heâd corner you in empty hallways, his hands brushing against you as he whispered cruel taunts in your ear.
âYouâre too soft,â heâd say, his tone mocking. âYouâll never survive here without me.â
You hated him. But more than that, you hated how powerless you felt.
Because in this school, Sasuke Uchiha wasnât just a bully. He was a king. And no one defied him without paying the price.
The venue was breathtakingâan opulent mansion owned by the family of one of Sasukeâs basketball teammates. It wasnât just any house; it was the kind of place youâd only see in movies. Ornate chandeliers lit the massive hallways, and floor-to-ceiling windows gave a view of the sprawling backyard, complete with a pool glowing under string lights. Music pulsed through the walls, heavy bass vibrating in the air, blending with the hum of laughter and conversation.
You arrived with your group of friends, feeling both excited and a little nervous. Parties like this werenât your usual scene, but after much begging and coaxing from Sakura and Temari, youâd finally agreed.
âCâmon, you deserve to have fun!â Sakura had said earlier, practically dragging you out of your dorm room. âItâll be good for you to let loose for once!â
And so, here you were, standing just inside the mansionâs grand entrance, your outfitâchosen with the help of your friendsâturning heads as soon as you walked in. The black romper hugged your figure in all the right places, and the strappy heels accentuated your legs. Your long hair fell in loose waves down your back, catching the light every time you moved.
âYou look so hot tonight,â Temari whispered, leaning in with a grin as she linked her arm with yours. âEvery guy here is going to be all over you.â
You laughed nervously. âLetâs hope not.â
But even as you said it, you could feel eyes on youâlingering stares from guys scattered throughout the room. You tried to focus on your friends instead. The night started off lighthearted. Drinks were poured, laughter filled the air, and everyone seemed to be in good spirits. Sakura found her boyfriend almost immediately, pulling him into a kiss before disappearing into the crowd with him. Temari and Hinata were quick to drag you toward the bar, where a line of colorful cocktails was set up.
âYou have to try this one,â Temari said, handing you a drink with a mischievous smile. âItâs sweet, but itâll hit you later if youâre not careful.â
âShould I be worried?â you asked, eyeing the drink suspiciously.
âOnly if youâre a lightweight,â she teased.
The first sip was surprisingly good, and before you knew it, you were halfway through your second glass. The alcohol loosened your nerves, making it easier to join in the fun. The girls dragged you onto the dance floor, where the music thumped loudly, and the energy was contagious.
Tenten twirled you around, laughing as you stumbled slightly in your heels. âYouâre getting the hang of this!â she said.
âBarely,â you replied, giggling.
The group danced together, your movements syncing with the rhythm of the music. You felt free, the worries of the week melting away as you lost yourself in the moment.
But across the room, someone else was watching.
Sasuke stood with his group near the bar, a drink in hand. His dark eyes followed your every move, narrowing slightly when he noticed the way other guys were starting to notice you too. He didnât say anything, but his grip on his glass tightened.
Naruto nudged him. âYou okay, man? Youâve been staring over there for a while.â
Sasuke didnât respond immediately. Instead, he downed the rest of his drink and set the glass on the counter with more force than necessary. âIâll be fine,â he muttered, though his gaze never left you. As the night wore on, your friends began to leave one by one. Temari and Hinata left first, with Naruto and Shikamaru escorting them out. Tenten left with Neji shortly after, and Sakura had long since disappeared with her boyfriend.
âIâll be fine,â you assured them when they asked if you wanted to leave too.
But now, as the crowd thinned and the music softened, you realized you were alone.
Or so you thought.
Sasuke appeared beside you, his presence suffocating as he leaned in close. âLooks like itâs just us now.â
His words sent a chill dowon your spine, and you suddenly felt very aware of how vulnerable you were.
âGet off me sasuke!â With your friends now gone from the party you were now vulnerable to sasuke and he took this time to make his full move on you. Getting tired of you fighting agasint him he smacks so hard that your head whipped back to two sides you then look at him with teary eyes terrified of him. That was moment he realized how much control he had of you. And how innocent you were.
âJust wait until we get into in my dorm Im gonna ruin you.â He says darkly chuckling to himself.
You are now currently in sasuke dorm His hands are on your waist, pressing you agasint the wall with no way out. You try to protest but kisses you immediately with tongue causing tension to rise he presses you into the wall further after he finishes kissing you salvia breaks apart with your heaving breathing. God he just wants to ruin. He then grabs the back of your hair gripping it tightly. âIm going to lift you up on my shoulders and if you try anything it wonât end well for you. â
You whimper in response not knowing what to say he took that as you responding and lift your legs up on his shoulders. He takes off your red lace panties tucking them in his pockets. âWeâre gonna fall!-â he then uses he left arm grabbing my mother closing my mouth shut. He then presses his mouth up to your cunt his tongue wrapping around clit you immediately let out a small moan and whimper. You never touched yourself so this new feeling felt intense.
Letting he left hand go off your mouth he starts kneading both of your breasts adding more pleasure. He continues to suck and lick at your clit skillfully. Your breath catches in your throat swallowing a lump in your throat, your head starts to fall back into the wall gripping on sasukeâs hair. It feels so good. Way too good. Tears start to well up in your eyes. âSasuke T-to much-â Your voice is weak as you protest. âWell Thats just to bad.â He then uses his finger against your hole, twisting it until it pushes your velvet walls. He then hums lapping at your clit, sloppily pressing his tongue on your clit dragging upwards before moving his tongue side to side across your bud. Sasuke then starts sloppily using his finger in your hole pressing against your g spot.
You start to let out incoherent moans and cries. âP-please itâs to much!â Sasuke then looks up at you for a second. âCanât even speak correctly I must be eating you out to good.â He then stoops eating you out using his fingers for your hole. His fingers then start pounding into your hole relentlessly the heel of his hand slapping against your clit. You then feel something way intense. Too intense. You then feel you a knot coming into your stomach and your toes curling. âIt hurts sasuke.â He then looks up at you again. âYour to tight just calm down.â He then uses his fingers to rub at your clit. And your mouth forms into an O shape letting out loud moans.
Your pleasure then builds up stacks of build unfold by itself. You cum hard. Nasty wet squelches could be heard around the room. Your now letting out broken moans and cries. Without stopping he then puts his mouth back on your clit still fingering hard he then curls his fingers into your g-spot. You sob, his pace being non persistent and mean, bullying you past your organisms. And you start to tremble heavily. âP/please Sasuke Im sorry just stop please-!â You cry desperately as his fingers curl into you harder his tongue slurping on your clit. You feel something deep inside you snap. You then let out a scream. You then feel something warm. You then look down on sasuke face in horror.
You squirted. Sasuke then speaks and laughs at your pathetic state did you just squirt? (Name).â Too out breath to say nothing you just stare at him with swelling eyes. He then drops you off his shoulders with your legs so wobbly he then pushes you on the bed harshly back hitting the bed. He then grabs one of your legs putting it on his shoulders âW-wait! Iâve never done this before.â He then takes off his clothes revealing his toned body. He pumps himself a few times. You then look at with tear filled eyes. âI-it wonât fitâ You whimper. Sasuke just grins down and laugh at you.
âThen Iâll make it fit.â Beige surging his hips forward. He then bottoms you out in one go, his groan drowned out by your louder whines. Your previous orgasms let him slip right in, but damnit your walls hugged and squeezed him so tight, too much for him not to snap his hips forward. Your mouth gapes at his harsh rhythm creating a sloppy and nasty sound in the room that just drives him to fuck you harder and faster. Your insides felt so full that you could burst. His cock is doing nothing but spitting you apart in a way it got your brain melting into a putty. With your eyes getting watery as it is. Beautiful noises coming out of so loudly that sasuke had to bend down and shut you up himself squeezed your cheeks so hard your cheeks started looking like a red tomato. He then lets go kissing you sloppily a mess of salvia from both tongues disconnecting Sasuke then grabs a bouncing tit squeezes hard while he still kept you face upturned to his, calling you degrading words while his hand was rubbing on your clit again. âYou donât want this but youâre being a crybaby creaming around me.â He said looking at your teary eyes.
He can feel himself bump into your cervix, He then looks back up to look at your face to see that yiur eyes had permanently rolled back of your head, your tongue out and drooling. God he wanna stay in this moment forever. Sasuke then engrave the image of you in the back of his mind immediately throwing his head back with a loud moan, the rough rutting of his hips having your hand to try and push him off weakly when your insides throbbed, incoherent babbles then come out of your mouth about a organism. âYeah? Gonna cum again crybaby?â He rasps out, gathers your wrists tight in one hand as he fucked you hard and rough with everything he had, delirious in his own upcoming high. âCmon crybaby cum all over my cock. Fuuuckkk-â
You couldnât even form words, you just came seconds after with your back curling off thr bed, dumb squeals and cries muffled by sasuke hand. The bed creaking and headboard hitting the wall so aggressively. His hand pushing you roughly on the in the pillow, a spew of curses leaving his lips out of pure bliss HES feeling right now. He panted out like a a dog, still cumming lazily rocking shallow thrusts into you, blobs of white overflowing around the edges and dribbling in a puddle under your ass. He finally pulls out. He then lets out a laugh at your fucked out expression. He leaned then licking your neck and kissing it. You then let out a whimper.
You tried to get up but he pushes you back down. âLay back down youâre not going anywhere looking like that.â With no energy left you just do as he says. Immediately falling asleep in his arms.

I genuinely think any ship within the og Team 7 students would make sense. There're 0 reasons to fight about it, they're all just as justified.
Naruto was obsessed for yeeeeeaaaars with his teammates. He looked at them like they hung the moon and the stars in the sky for him. Sasuke and Sakura were the only boy and girl on Earth, lol.
Sasuke and Sakura were used to being cruel to put some distance between them and the world. Defense mechanism or not, Naruto was maybe the only person in the entire world that would never eat that up. He knew feeling lonely, he knew being hurt, he knew to feel useless... Fuck that, for him, there would never be as someone as awesome as his teammates.
His most important promise in life was to save Sasuke, for both his, Sakura's and his own sake.
In return, Sasuke and Sakura would never shut up about him either. His their saviour, their hero, their sun and the boy fills their lives with joy.
That's why any ship with him works!
For Sakura, it's that there was textual romantic tension with both of them for the entire series. Their chemistry and backstory were intentionally written. That Kishimoto decided on the canon ships in the end, okay, but any of them could have worked. If you can't feel the love between them, blame the writing and not the characters, 'cause it was clear that Kishimoto wanted people to think of them as a love triangle for some time.
Since the genin days, she was their it girl. No one touches Sakura, no one hurts Sakura, blah blah blah. In exchange, even when she wasn't strong enough, she'd use herself as a shield for them. It makes no sense, but she'd jump between any attack and them at any moment. She would run to them when they have lost their mind, not even scared of them as much as she was scared for them.
She defended both of them when other people criticized them. She also lost faith and tried to manipulate them or kill them at some point out of pure desperation of keeping one of them alive. She was the one left behind time and time again, they are her whole reason to be who she is and to be a medic nin. All she ever wanted was to walk alongside them, not behind them.
Again, it works.
With Sasuke is so easy.
Naruto and Sakura were obsessed with him to the point of following him to the literal almost end of the world. The definition of hatred being actually love, because they'd be at each other's throats about it. Their goal in life? Sasuke. The person they cried about at night? Sasuke. What would they wish upon a star? For Sasuke to come back.
And Sasuke couldn't stop thinking about them. In his mind, they were always there. They'd follow him, almost haunt him. They were annoying and rude and ignorant, they were stupid, weak even, he loved them so much that he convinced himself he needed to kill them, cut their bonds.
They harbor endless love for him and with time, he came to understand that's just how they were and accept it.
The loyal 12 years old that would rather take the attacks himself than let his teammates be in any type of danger, did a full cycle and came to be the devoted man that vowed to atone for his mistakes and return to them one day.
If they gave themselves freely to him and almost without a reason, Sasuke gave himself back with all the reasons in the world.
Do I even have to explain why narusasusaku works too orâ????
Anyway.
I could never fight over what's the better ship when I know they are all insane about each other.

Kinda funny that people claim Kishimoto can't write romance... And then, when he has the occasion to write/draw about Minato, he does a whole love story. Both Minato and Kushina are the protagonists of that story. And honestly, it's quite good.
I've seen SS and NH fans desperatly trying to compare their ship to Minakushi, trying to find parallels between Kushina & Sakura and Kushina & Hinata, between Minato and Sasuke, and Minato & Hinata... and so on ! I understand the need to do it. What those ships lack, Minakushi has. But the truth is... I don't think Kishimoto bothered to develop those ships. Gaiden doesn't show SS in good light. The Last isn't his original idea/work and it's not good anyway.
So now Minakushi, I'm going to state the obvious. But it shows they both have mutual feelings for one another. It's not one sided. Kushina expressed the want to be alone with Minato, and Minato created a very powerful jutsu to protect Kushina.


So what we learn there :
- They train together for some times now. They have an appointment and Kushina teaches Minato's sealings techniques. From the Naruto's manga, we know it's one of his specialities. They like to see one another and Kushina is very exciting to see him.
- Minato wants to perfect his new jutsu so badly that he even cancelled their appointment. He takes the time to come and tells her about it. So he also likes to spend time with her. It's important to him. But what it's even more important to him is to protect her. He's creating his signature move and most powerful technique especially for her.
And look at that :

Yeah ! A love confession. And it doesn't get ignored. Kushina is touched by his words and starts crying. I can't add more than ten pictures. But just right after, Kushina remembers Mito, starts fighting back and remembers (again) Mito's words. The whole thing is a bit long, but I added the panel that matters the most in my opinion.


It's plain and simple. Kushina loves Minato. When he's fighting Kurama to protect her, she specifically remembers Mito's words about finding love. Plus, Minato is able to enter Kushina's mind. It's actually not a easy thing. And it was very special to Naruto & Sasuke's bond, the most important bond from the Naruto's manga. Minakushi is paralleling Sasunaru if anything...
They're connected on a deep level. Their feelings are mutual. And they are each other's strength.
There are more actually, because that's a real love story. So here we go :

Minato being moved by Kushina hugging him.

Kushina naming Minato's new technique and Minato agreeing with it (his original idea was terrible, Jiraiya already told him, but it's Kushina who he listens to).
And that's cute "parallel" (if we can call it like that).


So let's me list everything we get from the spin off :
- Minato and Kushina spend time together and like to see one another.
- Kushina teaches Minato's sealings techniques
- They both express their feelings for one another in different ways
- Minato created his signature move to protect Kushina
- The love confession doesn't get ignored and goes directly to Kushina's heart
- Minato can enter Kushina's mind
- Minato's fighting for her brings her strength and inspires her to fight against Kurama
- Minato is actually allowed by the narrative to witness and understand Kushina's struggles as a jinchuriki
- There are some symbols that make the ship work : the butterfly at the beginning and the end, the spiral, Minato's face next to the other's kages faces (it was already stated, in the Naruto's manga, that Kushina was his strength and his support in his path to become Hokage).
+
- Kushina goes to see Minato despite orders from the hokage, starts watching him, but doesn't stay hidden and talks to him with no problem at all when he notices her (yeah Hinata I'm looking at you)
- It stated why Minato likes Kushina.
- Kurama is very much aware of Kushina's feelings for Minato. When Minato starts telling her why he's creating his jutsu and touches Kushina's heart, Kurama tries to manipulate her.
- Minato is successful in saving Kushina (that's important, believe me).
Please just read the Minato's spin off. The whole thing is very cute.

Public Service Announcement For âNaruSasuâ Naruto Fans, Worldwide
Ladies & Gentlemen of the Naruto community who ship âNaruSasuâ like itâs their one-dimension in life, I have BREAKING NEWS for you: The âhinted romanceâ between Naruto Uzumaki & Sasuke Uchiha is nothing but a batshit fantasy.

Naruto is property of Masashi Kishimoto, & what HE writes goes, which includes who ends up where with who. If Kishimoto says Naruto Uzumaki & Hinata HyĹŤga are written in the stars, then itâs a done deal. If Kishimoto says Sasuke Uchiha & Sakura Haruno are written in the stars as well, then go figure, itâs a done deal.
Any moments of hinted romance between Naruto Uzumaki & Sasuke Uchiha are done either solely for laughs, or to make clear to the audience why Naruto values Sasuke, how he views him as someone close to him, what hardships he is willing to endure to bring his friend home, & why he wants to save him from the path of self destruction.

If Masashi says that Naruto & Sasuke are not home team players to each other, then any arguments you have against his statements are baseless & are rendered moot.

In closing, as 1 fellow Naruto fan to another, I firmly, but politely, implore you all to get off of popular social media, go outside, touch some grass, & smarten up.
Thank you all for your time, & have a nice life. God bless.

Miscellaneous Naruto Headcanons
Hanabi is next in line as clan head and Hinata completely cut off her family because she decided she doesnât want anything to do with the people who wanted nothing to do with her.
Hashirama and Tobirama actually have a really complicated relationship with a lot of mutual resentment. They love each other as family and respect each other as shinobi, but still. Hashirama holds a grudge from the river incident, resents how he was the favorite child of their father, and is frustrated by how he prioritizes utilitarianism over kindness/morality a lot of the time. Tobirama resents how he grew up in his shadow, is jealous of how easily he interacts with others and gets them on his side, and commonly thinks that he makes their lives significantly harder. Do they talk about any of this? Of course not! Hashirama is deeply ashamed of these feelings and Tobirama approaches all of his emotions with an âif I donât look at it, it doesnât existâ mentality.
The three shinobi vices come from the sage of six paths, but Tobirama was the one who introduced the shinobi rules.
The fear of aging is incredibly common amongst shinobi. However, itâs less about dying and more about deteriorating; like a weapon rusting or dulling in a way thatâs unpreventable and irreversible. Orochimaruâs fear is pretty obvious, part of the reason Sasori both values eternity so much and turned himself into a puppet is this, and Guy goes on about YOUTH!!! all the time because heâs in denial about his own fear, especially since taijutsu specialists are on a shorter clock than most due to muscle deteriorating faster than chakra.
Deidara values ephemeralism so much because he was forced to become a suicide bomber and he used this life philosophy to find value within himself even when he could be ordered to kill himself at a moments notice.
While the three shinobi vices are only taken very seriously amongst groups like the guardian shinobi twelve, itâs still baked into a lot of shinobi life. For example, you can be discharged from anbu for things like drinking, gambling, and paying for prostitutes even if it doesnât impact your work-life. Some people, like Tsunade and Kurenai, are very against this, arguing âif Iâm allowed to kill and die on a battlefield, I should be allowed to cope with that however I want!â
Kurenai is an alcoholic btw.
Tsunade got her gambling habit from Hashirama, but her drinking came from Tobirama.
Yamato is transgender.
While there isnât much or any stigma against queer relationships, there is a lot of pressure around people having kids. This came from the warring states era when they needed those kids to become soldiers and replace their armies (also child death was very common and having more kids rose the chances of one of them surviving to adulthood).
The first thing Hashirama did as Hokage was outlaw child hunters and give the order that any child hunters encountered on missions should be dealt with with extreme prejudice.
Kekkei genkai hunting and trafficking is disturbingly common.
Sakura, Rock Lee, and TenTen come from civilian clans and started bonding over that during their sparring matches.
Ableism is pretty common within shinobi villages and especially in the Hyuga clan, so Neji went through a period of having to unlearn a lot of his biases while working with Rock Lee.
Rock Lee is considered disabled btw.
Also ableism is one of the reasons why Nagato doesnât show his body. Because heâs also disabled (canât walk because of paper bombs, and has severe chronic chakra exhaustion).
The noble clans (Uchiha, Hyuga, Aburame, Akimichi) were the first/founding clans of Konoha. The Senju used to be included, but because they mixed themselves into other clans to the point of dying out, they arenât anymore.
Despite being memorialized on the shinobi uniform, the Uzumaki clan were never an official clan of Konoha.
The sharingan and mangekyou sharingan were extremely common during the warring states era, but is exceedingly rare in peace times. So much so that Uchihaâs who got it were congratulated (by people both inside and outside the clan) without others remembering that the sharingan is rarely unlocked for a good reason, making them feel even more upset/isolated.
Although people who get married usually still have wedding rings, it is so rare for shinobi to be seen wearing them (considering their job) that theyâre viewed as a sign of retirement.
Ino and Karui did not get along at first because Ino takes great pride in clan tradition and Karui thought she was behind the times. They only get along now because theyâre both romantics and they respectfully avoid that topic of conversation around each other.
Shino has to be very particular about his doctors to avoid them freaking out them accidentally healing the holes in his skin closed, making long missions away from Konoha all the more complicated and dangerous.
The rookie nine (-Sasuke) all really enjoy the outdoors so they set up a whole park/garden for them to hang out at. Naruto, Sakura, and Ino plant and tend to the flowers. Hinata picks and presses flowers into journals with the date they bloomed, type, and flower meaning written. Shikamaru (and sometimes Choji) likes cloud gazing. Shino and Choji like admiring (and sometimes catching) the bugs they find; Shino appreciates how he can exposition dump about all sorts of insects and Choji will actually listen. Kiba will either run around or take a nap with Akamaru depending on the day. Sakura also sometimes brings a stack of books to read/annotate in the grass.
Ino was the peer leader of their classroom during the academy.
Because Sakura was the introverted friend adopted by the extroverted leader (Ino), when they stopped being friends, Sakura functionally lost all of her friends.
Shino was right behind Sasuke in academics all throughout the academy, resulting in them having a bit of a silent rivalry. Sasuke actually knew Kiba through this because Kiba was one of the few people who acknowledged that Shino existed.
Choji taught Ino and Shikamaru how to cook as team bonding.
Shino and Hinata are pretty close friends after bonding over having to reign in Kiba during their time on team 8.
I guess this is a series now?

Reorganizing the Konoha teams
I know this is an old discussion that doesn't matter anymore, but I got back into Naruto and watched a video rearranging the teams, and it was weirdly bias for Sasusaku and added team 3/team Guy which was weird. So I decided to try my hand at it for fun:
So here are our teams
Okay to start with, we have to acknowledge the purpose of why they're together.
Team 7 is together because they're meant to help Naruto become a better ninja. Kakashi was Minato's student so there's the whole vow of protecting your master's son thing going on. Sasuke is there because he was the second top student in the academy (Ino being the first) and Kakashi has the sharingan, and Sakura was placed there because of her intelligence and chakra control. On paper, the combination made sense, but when you look at their grades on cooperation...
Putting two of the least cooperative people together with Kakashi as a sensei in a 4 man team was not a great move. I'm guessing they were hoping that Sakura could pull the team together, but did not take into account of her crush on Sasuke which set this team up for failure. Also, Kakashi's teaching method to solely use real life missions and his tardiness was not effective. These kids needed a more hands-on strict approach. Team practices back-to-back as if they're trying for the Olympics.
Team 8 is together because they're meant to be the manhunt team. They all have abilities to track people and take them down. With a sensei who doesn't play favorites, they're very effective as a group and as individuals unlike team 7.
Team 10 are together because of the Ino-shika-cho tradition which are absolutely perfect balance for reconnaissance missions.
If we had to choose which team is the best between Team 8 and Team 10, it naturally has to go to Team 10.
With 15 generations of team work perfected with the help of the Sarutobi clan who carries the Will of Fire, they have every angle of their team work covered. Yes, Team 8, is an effective team, but their skills are too similar that they don't blend well together on the battlefield and work better as individuals.
So taking that into consideration, we're going to have to permanently split the ino-shika-cho trio.
Because in all honesty, you can take out Choji and replace him with anyone else except maybe Shino. I'm sorry! I know Choji is a good boy, but as unique as his attacks are, he's just the muscle. And in all honesty, Naruto being in Team 10 would've helped him a 100 times more than team 7 because Shikamaru is a genius and actually likes Naruto, so he can help Naruto utilize his shadow clones better, and Ino actually cares about cooperation and her abilities that leave her vulnerable will give Naruto a sense of responsibility.
But we want Team 10's skills to be shared with everyone, so they cannot be together. In order for that to make sense, I guess imagine that they have older siblings who is already upholding the tradition as the 16th generation.
Moving forward, naturally one student on each team cannot leave their appointed sensei because they're compatible:
Team 7: Sasuke has to remain with Kakashi because of the sharingan, the lightning jutsu and their similar personalities. Yes, Kurenai uses genjutsu, but it's not a genjutsu at Itachi's level, and can't provide much more than that on the matter of skills. She may be able to provide a more motherly support, but taking Sasuke's background into consideration, I think a male role model similar to Itachi is more effective.
Team 8: Hinata has to stay with Kurenai because I can't imagine the other two giving Hinata the much needed attention and confidence she needs, especially from one female to another.
Team 10: Shikamaru obviously needs to stay with Asuma because they have that special bond as if Asuma is a second father to him.
Now we move on to the student who actually needs this sensei to help enhance their skills:
Team 7: Kiba would do better under Kakashi because the man uses dogs who he personally raised as his main summoning animal. Kakashi could've had Pakkun or his other dogs help train Akamaru with Kiba as his partner.
Team 8: Sakura is supposed be talented with genjutsu so naturally she should've gone with Kurenai in the first place in order to tap into that talent. I also think Sakura would've also seen a role model in Kurenai as a kunoichi.
Team 10: Naruto naturally has to be teammates with Shikamaru, but also because Naruto has a natural affinity for wind chakra, Asuma would've been perfect in training Naruto to wield it just as Kakashi taught Sasuke to use light chakra. It also helps that Asuma is the son of the hokage, so he can help Naruto on that as well.
And so we move on to the last three students:
Who I honestly struggled to place since again, Choji is a close-combat person which the other teams already have covered. So I had to consider where he would be the most useful.
I wanted to make an all-girl group with a flower-theme going on:
Hinata being the Sunflower, Sakura the cherry blossom and Ino the florist and they have a teacher who uses floral genjutsu. It was perfect! But then I thought about how they would actually perform starting out, and while Hinata does know some taijutsu, she's not very proficient at it, and the girls can't really help her in that department early on in this teamwork.
So here we go:
Team 7: I placed Ino under Kakashi more for Kakashi's sake than Ino's because the man would be inspired to actually train them as a team in order to take Ino's skills into consideration. Ino is a Sasuke fangirl like Sakura, but Ino is the heiress of the Yamanaka clan so she has more important responsibilities, and has applied herself in the academy to become its top student and likes to take the lead. She won't let her feelings for Sasuke get in the way of making everyone work together.
Team 8: I placed Choji in this team to provide some muscle, and be the training partner she needs to put more oomf in her strikes.
Team 10: I placed Shino in this team in order to do Sasuke's job and that was to cover Naruto's weaknesses and act as the tactician to Shikamaru's strategies. The poor boy also needs the spotlight, and the gags would be funny.
With all these teams covered, how would they work:
Team 7 (The Cool Group): The show makes it seem like Kiba is a copy of Naruto, but honestly, he's a lot more chilled (granted he's not a hated orphaned boy with a demonic animal inside), so with Sasuke, I can only see them having a friendly rivalry if not at all. If anything, even on different teams, Naruto would still declare himself as Sasuke's rival, and the chunin exams would alight that intensity. But even before that, it's not like they won't see each other and fight on sight so the bond is still there. Other than that, Kakashi would train them each separately (not just Sasuke) and together to help Ino use her jutsu which will instill that necessary teamwork. And with Ino's assertive attitude and Akamaru being everyone's support animal, they would have them eat meals together, and won't let Sasuke or Kakashi get out of it if they didn't have something urgent going on. Is it wrong to say this is the more functional version of team 7? Of course, shit hits the fan when Orochimaru attacks, and I'll leave how that turns out for others to imagine. Comment cuz that'd be interesting.
Team 8 (The Gentle Group): I believe Kurenai would've trained Sakura in not only genjutsu but on how to be the team leader in order to fully use her intelligence. She would have Sakura on mock survival trainings in the forest in order to not crumble under pressure, and use her team effectively. Kurenai would have Choji and Hinata train together to strengthen their taijutsu and their confidence.
Team 10 (The Weirdo Group): I believe Asuma, Shikamaru and Shino would collab together to help Naruto become a respectable ninja. Asuma would help Naruto learn taijutsu before introducing him to wind chakra. Shino would help teach Naruto what should've been drilled into him in the academy and under Asuma's observation, help Naruto on his tactics which Naruto is pretty good at since he's a clever prankster, but Shino helps him refine it. Naruto respects Shino for that, but is incredibly weirded out by his attempts to become friends and doesn't know how to break Asuma to do as he wants since the sexy jutsu doesn't work on a womanizer like him. As for Shikamaru, he's more involved in Naruto's training when actual missions are involved since he actually has to use his brain for them.
I could say more, but that's all I should say.

Sasuke wasnât the problem. The writing was. Stop punishing female characters for feeling, and stop forcing men into relationships they never wanted. Everyone lost. No one was fed.
Hot take but the truthâ˘ď¸: Narutoâs women deserved better and I will die on this hill đ§ââď¸
We donât talk enough about how cruel it was to shove Hinata and Sakura between Naruto and Sasukeâtwo emotionally constipated soulmates with god-tier trauma bonding and a love language consisting of fighting each other to near-death every six months.
Like⌠imagine being Hinata. Youâve spent your whole life admiring this sunshine idiot from afar, and when you finally get his attention, suddenly heâs got a whole-ass emotional husband who:
left the village for years and Naruto never stopped chasing him
shows up once every blue moon and Naruto still smiles like the sun
had a final battle with Naruto so intense it blew off both their arms
got the âIâll die with youâ speech more than once
shares more eye contact with Naruto in one episode than with his wife across an entire spin-off series
Be so for real.
And Sakura?? Babygirl carried the weight of the âstrong female leadâ label on her back for 700 episodes, only to be handed the most confusing, unresolved romantic arc in the entire series. She shouldâve ended up with Rock Leeâwho respected her, supported her, and actually grew as a personâor with Ino, her rival-turned-soulmate who challenged her, loved her fiercely, and actually talked to her like a human being. That rivalry had more chemistry in one forehead insult than her entire canon romance.
Instead, the writing forced her into a marriage that never made senseâand this is where we need to get real:
⨠Sasuke never owed her love. He never promised her anything. â¨
He was traumatized. Broken. On a mission of revenge. He didnât have room to love anyoneânot even himself.
The problem wasnât Sasuke. The problem was the narrative pretending this was romance.
Instead of letting Sakura grow, let her choose herself, or realize that her love wasnât returned in the way she deservedâthe story punished her for feeling too much and called it a reward. Thatâs not Sasukeâs fault. Thatâs bad writing.
Meanwhile, Naruto and Sasuke were out there:
gazing at each other like lovers across battlefields
calling each other their one and only
collapsing into each otherâs arms like itâs a Tuesday
having full breakdowns when the other one was gone for 10 minutes
bleeding, dying, and nearly destroying the world for each other
BUT SURE. Letâs pretend the real endgame was two exhausted women and a pair of war husbands trying to pretend they werenât already married spiritually, emotionally, and metaphysically.
Letâs be honest:
Hinata had more chemistry with Kiba, her actual teammate who supported her and saw her as a partnerânot a mystery to be noticed for the first time after 600 episodes and a war.
Sakura had a whole destiny arc waiting with either Lee or Ino, and we were robbed. She didnât need to be âchosen.â She needed to be lovedâand the story didnât give her that.
Naruto and Sasuke shouldâve gotten forest married.
Sakura and Ino shouldâve started a psychic-medical clinic.
ROCK LEE DESERVED EVERYTHING!!!
Hinata and Kiba shouldâve raised ninja puppies and babies together.
Tenten shouldâve had a weapon empire.
And all of them shouldâve been rich, moisturized, and unbothered.

Lets all acknowledge for a second that the reason Sasuke wanted Naruto and Sakura dead was because he cared about them. Like. Sure kind of a wacky move but I feel like people just pin Sasuke as this psycho who wanted them dead for no reason other than malice. Like,,, he wanted them gone and he thought killing them was the only way to stop thinking about them. Which is a pattern that Sasuke seems to have?
I'm almost 100% sure that Sasuke openly acknowledges when he sees them for the first time after the 2 year gap that he does know how important they are to him and the care that he holds weakens him. Don't let the fancy metaphors of 'bonds' and 'ties' fool you. Its smart talk for he loves them and thats why they have to go.
#I'm decently sure Sasukes belief that stabbing and attacking makes the problem go away is just a trauma response#Itachi when I get you#pro sasuke uchiha#sasuke uchiha#team 7#naruto#moldy-flowers#naruto uzumaki#sakura haruno

Team Kakashiđś
I selected flowers not only by color, but also based on their symbolism. Each picture has a description and explanation attachedđ
Naruto - Sunflower
Almost everywhere, sunflowers express joy, hope and friendship. They also represent longevity, adoration and strength. Additionally, sunflowers are a symbol of peace, brightness and acceptance.
Sasuke - Camellia
Since ancient times, camellia has been considered in Japan as a divine and noble flower, symbolizing, on the one hand, dignity, longevity and constancy, and on the other, sadness, coldness and insensitivity. In ancient times, the red camellia was a symbol of the sun goddess Amaterasu.
Sakura - Lotus
Opening at dawn and closing at sunset, the lotus represents rebirth, renewal of vitality, return of youth, immortality.
The lotus combines solar and lunar principles; it is equally close to water and fire, the chaos of darkness and divine light.
Kakashi - Forget-me-not(myosotis)
In many cultures, forget-me-nots are a symbol of fidelity despite separation and other difficulties, memories of past loves, unbreakable bonds and precious memories.
