So We All Know That Itachi Took Naruto Aside In The Forest Right Before He Fought Sasuke To Make Him

So we all know that Itachi took Naruto aside in the forest right before he fought Sasuke to make him promise to save him. But here’s something that really needs to be emphasized, especially to the sasusaku fandom: Itachi chose Naruto. He’d been observing Sasuke along with Kisame ever since part one before being discovered by Kakashi, and most likely even before that. He knew which team Sasuke was on, where he went, what kind of training and missions he went on, and who he was close to. Itachi knew that in Sasuke’s heart, Naruto was the one most precious to him thanks to both his observations and his familiarity with Sasuke’s internal workings. In other words, Itachi knew Sasuke better than anyone. So he went to Naruto, not Sakura or Kakashi or anyone else, because he knew that if anyone could get to his broken, revenge-obsessed brother it would be Naruto.

Itachi was one of the smartest, most cunning characters of the manga. His every move, every word that he spoke served a greater purpose, and in this case, it was for Sasuke’s well-being and to correct his past mistake of implanting hatred in him. He even tested his theory under the pretense of taking Naruto because he wanted the kyuubi, knowing Sasuke would immediately hunt him down to save Naruto. His plan served a dual purpose, as he also wanted to test Sasuke’s abilities and gauge how his skills had improved over the years; all of this part of his plan to be killed by him as a form of justice for the Uchiha clan.

Itachi never cared for anyone as he did for his little brother. Thus, we are able to understand that if Itachi had come to the conclusion that there was someone more qualified to lift Sasuke from the darkness than Naruto, he would have no doubt opted to have the discussion in the forest with them. Since he didn’t, it is very clear that Itachi could not find someone that represented so much sentimental value to Sasuke or possessed the kind of connection with him that would suffice to bring him back to the light.

It was Naruto whom he entrusted Sasuke to; Naruto who he saw as the only person fit for both saving and bringing joy back into his beloved brother’s life. He never saw Sakura as someone with that kind of influence over Sasuke. She, as far as I or anyone else knows, was never relevant in Itachi’s eyes.

Only Naruto.

Sns is so overrated, the Kishi had to force us readers that naruto and sasuke have a "strong bond" it was annoying asf. Vegeta and Goku, Gon and Killua, and the best for last Yusuke and Kuwabara still a better friendship than sns lmao. Take it all in, sns tards st of them can disagree and still be friends when sns Sasuke had to be force to naruto's views by force!! I feel sympathy for Sasuke all alone at least Karin loves him for who he was unlike T7 and Naruto hypocrite bitch ass.

Oh God… What did I do to receive this kind of nonsense? Pft.

Look, my friend, I do not care if they’re the best for you, what does that have to do with me? Nothing. You’re talking about your options against mine, but you know? Nothing and nobody is going to change my preference. :P

It is not my fault that Kishimoto created the SNS bond for years.It is not my fault that the SNS has an acceptable development. It is not my fault they both kissed.It is not my fault they both protected each other. It is not my fault that both are complements.It is not my fault that they are both soulmates.It is not my fault that both are characters that are accepted as they are.It is not my fault that Naruto loves Sasuke.It is not my fault that Sasuke loves Naruto.It is not my fault that Naruto prefers Sasuke before everyone else.It is not my fault that Sasuke prefers Naruto before everyone else.It is not my fault Sasuke was willing to give his life for Naruto.It is not my fault that Naruto was willing to give his life for Sasuke.It is not my fault that Naruto was always thinking about Sasuke.It is not my fault Sasuke surrendered to Naruto’s appreciation.

I’m afraid I can not finish. But to make you burn more…

Long live SNS. ♡

Everything is in the manga and I can not change any of that. ^^

Thanks, but I would have respected it if you had only shared it with less antisonant words.

Good luck next time.

This Thing Here Just Destroyed Every Head Canon Or Shit About Sasuke Returning To Konoha Because Of Sakura.

This thing here just destroyed every head canon or shit about Sasuke returning to Konoha because of Sakura. Like, stop.

It was so annoying all that “OMG Sasuke shiden is a SS novel, SASUKE RETURNED BC OF SAKURA!” No. Is a Sasuke’s novel, about his feelings and his most strong bond with his most important person and that person is not Sakura.

He said before this that the only thing that tied him to Konoha was Naruto and now we have this here in where a letter from Naruto makes him smile and he decided to finally return to Konoha. It wasn’t a letter from Sakura. If Sakura words are in there or not is stupid af because she has a hand and she can write a fucking letter for his friend or what? She’s scare? Please. Sasuke only thought about Naruto in all this novel even when there are a lot of forced moments of certain “couples”

But this and the original manga say it all. The one who saved him was Naruto, the one who never gave up on him was Naruto. His weakness is Naruto. He said that Naruto makes him feel in home and remember him of his family and remember him of love.

I don’t even care if after this we have all that NH and SS shit and ilogic moments in where they’re all OOC again. Because this is the real Sasuke.

He returned because of Naruto. He called Konoha a “home” because of Naruto. He has faith in Konoha because of Naruto. He adores him and his own world, he himself said it in the novel.

There’s a spot in Sasuke’s heart that no one has, and it belongs to Naruto not Sakura. Your fucking welcome. 😘
