The interesting experience of being pro Sasuke, anti konoha, pro tobirama, anti Naruto ending, pro Sasusaku, anti Itachi, pro Sakura, anti SasuNaru, pro Tobirama×Izuna, anti Madara, pro karin, anti Orochimaru, pro Uchiha and anti Hashirama. And also as much as I hate the guy danzo was kind of hot when he was younger...

Sasusaku prompt - ''I am stronger than you today''

Sakura, gazing into the eyes of a tormented Sasuke Uchiha, poised to sacrifice the world for the sins committed against his clan, declares: "You believe power is strength, that all your potential is defined by what your eyes can achieve, by what you can summon, by the way you fight, by the way you kill, but you are mistaken. Strength is witnessing a world filled with injustice and malevolence and still choosing to fight to preserve the good. Strength is recognizing the reasons to rise against those who are corrupt, but understanding there is no justification to become the source of further cruelty. Strength is not forsaking your ideals to conform to what the world has made of you and how it has treated you.

You think I am weak for loving you and believing that you are lost in the darkness, as you scorn my feelings and my inability to kill you, but once more, you are wrong. I see in you someone who has been wronged and isolated, condemned to be a pawn in a game you were never even informed about. I see in you a child in pain, loneliness, and hatred, and, much to your chagrin, I see in you the capacity to love. Between the two of us, Sasuke, only I have remained true to my ideals and to who I am. You can kill me here, something you will have to fight for from beginning to end because I will never die without knowing that I avenged the person Naruto and I have mourned since we were thirteen. I am stronger than you today, not on the battlefield, but in mind. I am stronger than you, and it may be that I perish today because of it, but you will fall with me."

Bonus: A Sasuke who faces a Sakura Haruno who is simultaneously the same as the one he abandoned on the bench and so different that he needs to remind himself that this adversary is dangerous in a way that no other ever will be.

when i write the sasusaku 😭💞

But Sasuke-kun came back and slowly, achingly, lovingly — they grew close again, got together, and married.

She started to think about children again.

She asked him if he wanted any, knowing the possibility of a no and… being fine with that. Children wasn’t a number one thing in her life. It would be nice but not something she wanted so badly. She wanted to be with him, more than anything.

But he told her yes, quiet, in her room, like it was a word stuck in the back corner of his teeth. His hand holding hers in a tight grip.

They’re in the middle of their journey slash mission outside of Konoha now. It’s been around six months. The whole idea of children is later in Sakura’s child. Back at Konoha. Back where they’d be with their friends and family.

She doesn’t expect this at all.

“What,” Sakura says. She can hear sounds of the cicadas buzzing outside. She can see the doctor’s face. It feels all far away.

“You’re pregnant,” the doctor tells her again.

Sakura looks down, presses a hand over her stomach in a daze. Things happened, yes. They’ve gotten intimate but… they were always careful. Sakura knows it’s never a hundred percent but — she never thought it’d happen to them. It feels unreal.

She leaves the hospital and goes back to the inn, legs wobbly. Sasuke-kun is already back from the market. He pauses sorting through the groceries to turn to her.

“What’s wrong,” he asks, immediately.

Sakura’s face pinches further. She doesn’t know how to bring it up. She doesn’t know how he’d react. They hadn’t prepared for this. Sasuke-kun walks towards her and takes her hand as he pulls her into a embrace. She sinks into it. It’s comforting.

Lowly, right against her skin, he says, “What happened?”

He knows she went for a check up, feeling strangely under the weather lately. It’s always best to get a second opinion, even if you’re a medic yourself. They never thought it would be anything more than that.

She knows she’s needlessly worrying him. She needs to tell him but she doesn’t know how to bring it up.

Better to just rip off the bandaid, Sakura thinks.

She pulls away so she can see his face.

“I’m pregnant,” she tells him.

In the dim light of their room, Sasuke-kun’s face — she won’t ever forget that moment, Sakura tells herself.

Let's talk about one of the S*NS arguments for implied "superiority" of their ship.The (oh so wonderful and romantic) sun/moon parallels, that they're totally meant for each other:

What is the one, singular thing that Sasuke fights for? What is he trying to achieve in his rebellion against the world itself? Justice, sure. But what else? Or, better question, against what is he fighting?

Determinism. His whole life is a war against letting others determine him or his fate. Against Itachi telling him to kill a friend, against the same man then trying to make Sasuke into Konoha's hero. He is constantly changing, fighting the invisible machinations of others to avoid having his fate sealed. If there's one thing Sasuke truly hates, it's determinism. He is his own master, not a puppet in the hands of the universe.

So the idea that Naruto and Sasuke are somehow meant for each other romantically, that it was always meant to be, that it was determined even before they were born is so inherently against Sasuke's whole existence. S*NS distaste for Sakura, steaming from her being simply so ordinary and accidental in the greater narrative is one of the reasons why SS works in the first place.

Listen I accepted my bisexuality and thus opened up the avenue of m/f shipping but in a queer way. Largely poly and/or bi4bi kinds of ways. But mostly m/f shipping where I actually delve into their emotions and see what really makes them tick.

It was always the shallow m/f shipping that I had a problem with. The "he's a boy and she's a girl, so of course they'd end up together" kind of thing. Given actual proper emotional development with their relationship, though...

Then Maybe.

[evanescentsun]

I…create….sasusaku comic?! It’s a slow progress, but I’m…..crawling…..

[uchiha-family-for-the-winny]

In this house we don't tag Sakura as Sakura Haruno. We tag her as Sakura Uchiha.

I LOVE your Sakura AU, thank you so much for making it 🥹

Even though her ending is supposed to be “good”, I always thought that canon didn’t do her justice and threw any character development she had out of the window so she can be with Sasuke

I SO wanted her to finally move on and just let go

And I don’t have anything against Sasusaku

But I think it’d be much more beautiful if Sakura long let go of her feelings by the time Sasuke came to his senses and they developed their relationship TOGETHER from the START

And, once again, your work is AMAZING and I can’t wait for next pieces ❤️

Btw, can I ask a question?) Will we see Naruto’s and Sasuke’s reaction to her condition (maybe flashback to before she left the village?), if not, can you please tell me a bit about it? I can’t imagine them to ignore her after the incident, especially considering that they are at fault as usual

Thank you so much for the kind words! I've also never been a fan of how Sakura ended up. I have no beef with SasuSaku, but my biggest issue was that we never saw Sasuke try to make up/connect with Sakura in the same way we saw him do with Naruto, so their romance in Boruto just felt so...abrupt?

As for what happens to Sakura and her friends....

Sasuke was essentially put on probation/jailed, but broke out and defected to Otogakure as canon. This devastates Sakura, as she's both in deep denial about his contribution to her injuries and also the fact that she basically threw herself in there for nothing. Kakashi shuts down completely. It's a nightmare replay of his own past, including the female team-mate being horrifically injured by the chidori. The guilt of everything is eating him alive so he basically withdraws into himself and uses her demotion to civilian status as a way to trick himself into thinking that if he just 'rips off the bandaid' and cut ties, she'll be able to move on more easily.

Naruto is the only person who is really able/willing to face justice. After the incident, he was basically also put on probation/awaiting trial but busted himself out to join Jiraya.

So for context, Sakura got clapped hard by the Rasengan/Chidori combo (hearing gone, nerve damage, eyes shot etc) and basically had to be put in a coma to try and stop the damage from getting worse, but unfortunately none of the medics in Konoha had the ability to reverse anything but the most superficial damage. So Naruto joined Jiraya in an attempt to find and bring the only person in the world who could give Sakura a sliver of hope.

I felt like this worked well with canon and the desperation to get Tsunade to be hokage and Naruto basically begged her on his hands and knees to help Sakura. Tsunade made it there in the nick of time managed to save everything but her eyes.

But Sakura's life has fallen apart, her career is over, her parents dead from Konoha Crush and her eyes gone...and Naruto is the most convenient and available person to take out all her rage on, so...while he deserves a lot of that rage..she is essentially punching down on who she perceives to be the cause of all her problems.

Lee is in the same boat as her, but while he tries very hard to be there for her, Sakura can't stand to be with him right now, as it just makes the reality of life hit that much worse- especially when she finds out there's a surgery that might give him a better chance than she'll ever have.

And Ino visits often at first, but then it's awkward...and painful as the weeks go by. They have lunch and gossip but at some point, there's not much a shinobi and civilian have in common, especially after the shortage of manpower post Konoha-crush has Ino entrenched in the shinobi life more than ever before.

I hope this answered some stuff! Thank you so much for the questions and the interest! I love Sakura and I just wanna give her the development and power she deserves!!

Edo-Tensei implies the sacrifice of a living human being for their body to become the vessel of the soul they're trying to bring back. What this author means is that Sasuke and Sakura are willing to perform inhumane acts to "see each other again".

The jutsu was created by Tobirama, someone Sasuke despises.

This is the same jutsu Orochimaru, whom Sakura admitted to hating as he "took Sasuke away from Konoha", used; why would she willingly use a jutsu from his book?

The caster has complete control of the person they summon, the person that was "revived" has no real volition of their own. Obito, who used to love Rin, never even entertained the idea of summoning her (and thus, controlling her), what a disgusting thing to do to someone you "love".

This is the same man who canonically has the chance to see his wife whenever he pleases, yet he doesn't, why on earth would he revive her? Why wouldn't he revive Itachi, Mikoto, or Fugaku for that matter?

Sakura has little to no knowledge of füinjutsu, let alone enough chakra to perform something like this.

Sasuke having a "moment" with Itachi doesn't translate to him actually liking the technique.

"Sasuke and Sakura are only thinking of a possibility" is just as awful as performing it; they're willing to do such a monstrous thing to others to fulfill their selfish wishes. The fact that they didn't do it isn't because they aren't prone to do so, but because they didn't have to, as both are still alive.

Edo-tensei is not romantic, at all. It's one of the worst techniques ever invented as it was devised to seek control over powerful (deceased) shinobi to use their souls/techniques as tools of military power. The person revived has no control over their actions, so they see themselves committing acts they might not agree with because the person who summoned them wanted their strength. Its origin was about complete control of a human being (humiliation likely plays a part, as having no control over your body yet having your mind intact is the ultimate form of torture), the possession of the power of others, and the ultimate tool as those revived receive no real damage as they respawn.

Edit to add: This line was, in fact, in Sasuke Retsuden (in the manga adaptation Sasuke never actually confirmed this, as it was Sakura who replied for him -lol-). Jun Esaka just butchered the entirety of Sasuke's characterization, this woman was paid to write a SasuSaku story and couldn't even bother to understand and respect the characters' original personality, having to modify everything about them and using their trauma as a "romantic device" to show "how much Sasuke and Sakura love each other". I have no respect for her as an author, at least, not as an author inside the Narutoverse.

Sasusaku fans and their denial:

@microvan =🤡

If Sakura does not know something so basic and so obvious as the fact that Sasuke does not need glasses,she for sure does not know the truth about Uchiha genocide and Sasuke’s inner turmoil what led to him repeating Itachi’s fate.

The fuck you mean “Sakura is unsure if Sasuke needs glasses”?

Doesn’t this bitch see that Sasuke never wears glasses in everyday life?

Oh,right—she does not because Sasuke abandoned her for 12 years!

[rayndrooop]

Am I the only one who's super annoyed by the accounts that are posting sasukarin ai art in the sasusaku tag??

Like I don't even mind the ship, but can you not shove it at people who don't wanna see??? The fact that it's ai also plays a big part in my anger

I've noticed this has been a trend here, especially in the sasusaku tags. Anti sasusaku post also have sasusaku tag, like what is your purpose here?? Are intentionally trying to rile ppl up? I respect your opinion and many others here do, why can't you respect ours

What is the need for this?? If you don't like a ship, it's ok. But you don't have to ridicule or ruin the experience of people who do like it

Thanks for listening to my rant 🙂
