“I like how Kishimoto writes the two of them in sync. Sasuke and Sakura are shown to be able to read each other really well - Sasuke picks up on Sakura’s depression, Sakura notes how panicked Sasuke is here.”
yeah cause if somebody is totally freaking out, it’s only natural that only a couple connected through feelings of tru luv is able to tell.
“What makes it stand out is how neither of them can read Naruto nearly as well.”
NEITHER OF THEM CAN READ NARUTO NEARLY AS WELL? SERIOUSLY? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? YOU GOTTA BE.
“I mean, yes, Sasuke’s attention to detail is what made him pick up on the first person pretending to be Naruto and they were both able to figure out Naruto woudn’t be able to memorize such a complicated code word as Sasuke’s ninja song.”
Yeah, this person noticed how fucking stupid that statement was BUT THEN MANAGED TO SAY SOMETHING WAY MORE STUPID.
Did you happen to see that neat panel where sakura actually SIGHS in relief to see that Naruto remembered that long ass ninja song? Sasuke actually used it as a password because he knew Sakura would be able to remember it and Naruto wouldn’t. It’s his observation skills here, it’s not like tru luv feelings.
“But the big one, when Naruto held up his hand to say he was going to take the final question, no matter what surprised them both.”
wow now that is totally LOVE if two people who happen to be ON THE SAME TEAM get surprised if one of their teammates makes a decision that could probably be a huge fuckup. They are so in love omg.
I don’t even know how their brains work
You know what’s the most hilarious thing about this “omg Sasuke and Sakura might get a divorce!!” thing? The fact that their relationship would hardly even change.
And the most funniest thing is that most divorced couples with a kid spend more time with each other than Sasuke and Sakura. They meet and call each other, sometimes even spend time with their kid together. Meanehile, Sasuke could care less where Sakura’s at, and doesn’t bother even writing a letter to her cos I don’t know, he has missed her so much during those 12 years lol. And man, what a happy first meeting in years “Ughh what are you doing here?” That’s right, most divorced couples are closer than Sasuke is to Sakura. Let that sink in.

meeting team 7 again, after years:
i’m sorry but i can’t give u any evidence with sakura cause u kno
he didn’t give a shit
Since I’m studying the Japanese language, I decided to go a little deeper and study their culture in general.
So, I was reading about relationships in Japan and one thing caught my attention. Japanese people usually avoid confrontations, so suppose couple goes out on a date, if one of them doesn’t have a good time and wants to part ways, they wouldn’t tell the other one that, they’d just “disappear” from their life as a sign they didn’t want to go out with that person again.
“Even after dating for years, there have been cases where the significant other just flat out disappears and drops all communication, as they find it easier this way.”
The pros never know what they want the forehead poke to be
Itachi uses it on Sasuke to keep his distance and avoid him in a brotherly affectionate way
Sasuke uses it on Sakura because tru luv
Sakura uses it on Sarada to avoid answering her question on Gaiden just like Itachi used to (i won’t even get into the fact that somehow Sakura used in the way it was supposed to be used without ever knowing what it meant)
The first and third time meant nothing but keeping your distance in a friendly way, not romantic. But when Sasuke uses it on Sakura it’s a sign of undying love for her.
naruto gets hurt
seeing sakura (after more than a decade)
she gets kidnapped and taken to another dimension
mmmmmmmmm kay
okay i need to address this point in one of my own posts:
sakura calls sasuke danna-sama, which is a really formal way to call a husband, and some japanese people find it annoying and disgusting, because it implies you’re inferior to your husband, and it also shows lack of intimacy.
(and it’s also used to refer to another person’s husband)
bye
