#there is a lot of bad decisions made about Naruto but teenagers being immature and dumb is not a flaw. that's what children are like

Sasusaku shippers are so weird to me. Like why not use the timeskip to write fanfics and make hcs about esp since they're canon? Why do you need to use the time where he was traumatised and she has disrespected his trauma and he felt like she couldn't resonate with his feelings as an orphan unlike Naruto would? Like yeah, the attention kishimoto himself draws to these two - Naruto and Sasuke - during his time in otogakure - is weird because I don't see Sasuke thinking of Naruto as anything but an obstacle for the most part.

My point is: after having his family killed he was brewing in his trauma for almost a decade every single day all day long he just had no time to be there giggling kicking his feet let him have depression guys

That being said, even if Sasuke finds Sakura a little irritating, no he doesn't think of her as inferior and he has shown respect for her intelligence and hard work in times when they were not outright enemies like he was literally the entirety of konoha
