“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
