The poke is not a gesture of love from Itachi and Sasuke. How do I know this? This panel explains it
Itachi literally said that his hands kept Sasuke away and while doing this he was lying all the time. He never played with Sasuke even if he promised to do it, when he died and said it was finally over, he later came back. Lies after lies. These two fingers are nice way to say no to a child. They create this barrier between people but in a way that it is not rude.Β
Look at Sasukeβs face, do you think it is the face of a person that knows it means I love you? This expression screams is that it? It was not enough for him and later when Itachi came back he told him about it. Then Sasuke finally understood what was the meaning behind this poke and why Itachi did it. Thatβs why Sasuke later poked Sakura. It was a nice way to say no to her considering her mentality is like that of a child. SS probably say but she blushed in that panelΒ
Yes but she blushed because her crush touched her. It was the first time he gave her some sort of nice attention and made physical contact with her. But for Sasuke it was a way to sayΒ βI donβt want you on my journey but thank you for asking and maybe we will meet againβ. And of course Sasuke lied because he never came back and she had to chase himβ¦ Itachi legacy is still strong π€£ You want to know what is the real love gesture?Β
This is the real gesture of love from ItachiΒ
And it is emphasis by the words I will love you forever. Now compare Sasukeβs face here and in the previous panel with Itachi. Here Sasuke finally understands Itachi and his love for his little brother. After this panel Sasuke never questions his brother again. Moreover, as Itachi said his two fingers kept Sasuke far away so now he touches forehead with him, there is no barrier between them, no distance, no more lies, just love.Β
