the difference between naruto and sasuke is that naruto âis a character that forgivesâ and sasuke is âa character that doesnâtâ. this their conflict, in kishimotoâs own words, and i think itâs often unquestioningly absorbed in fandom because, well, people are generally able to be critical within a framework, but unable to criticize a framework in itself. they can say âwhat this character did is wrongâ. they will not ask, WHY is this character, who embodies this specific ideology, the one to do wrong, WHY are certain archetypes designated heroes while others are designated villains, and some like neji become designated fodder
because narutoâs perspective can be flipped very easily. he is a character that suffers and vows to change, to alter himself since heâs abandoned all hope of the people who horrifically mistreat him changing until he has proven himself as worthy
and sasuke is a character who suffers and expects the world to change. he wants itachi dead, by his hand, because thatâs justice to him. he wants orochimaru dead, by his hand, because he revolts him. he wants danzo dead, by his hand, because itachi was a tool in the end and danzo was the instigator. he wants to reform the system as a whole. the running theme in all his plans is that he wants justice for the massacre of his clan - his idea of who is responsible simply evolves, and eventually he settles for âthere is something deeply wrong and corrupt about our system that can only be weeded out by forceâ
sasukeâs attempts to mold the world into something he can tolerate become extreme and violent, i am not denying that. but narutoâs complacency also enables and begets violence. he covers up the uchiha massacre, he fawns over a man who killed his friend a day prior and his parents, he allows orochimaru to work for the village after kakashi pardons him, continuing his experiments. amazingly, people blame sasuke for this as if he is the one literally holding political office and also not one of oroâs victims who clearly wants nothing to do with him
a small shift in perspective can make for a vastly more interesting, thoughtful, and engaging story imo. but writers, male writers in particular have a mental block against their protagonistsâ questioning their worldview in a serious way - it feels unmanly and like âlosingâ to them, although they are happy to thrust the responsibility to change onto others. itâs purely the product of male writers projecting their egos onto their protagonists.
âhe fawns over a man who killed his friend a day prior and his parentsâ wait which character is this?

He is talking about Obito, how Naruto called him "A great guy" and that his dream should live on

With haters, I've learned that only Sasuke is abusive to Sakura, to Naruto and Karin, all of their murder attempts and icy glances were reasonable and acceptable. Sasuke and Sakura had no romantic relationship and were literally enemies in a ninja war, but that didn't matter obviously was an "abusive relationship". And when they became a romantic couple (real), they traveled together, married and had their child, it was logically too late for their true love to be considered healthy, right?
Of course! I mean how can one not see that if any relationship is to be called âabusiveâ, it can only be Sasuke and Sakuraâs? Seriously, because itâs as they always say, Sakura constantly forced her feelings onto Sasuke and âguilt trippedâ him into returning her feelings, and she obviously did this by never actually asking him to return her affections, and only ever wanting him to return to Konoha so he can smile and be happy again, as she explicitly revealed was her goal at the end of the Land of Iron arc. I mean, itâs as Kakashi said right?
That Sakura â[wasnât] trying or wanting to make [him] hersâ, so that clearly means that Sakura was doing nothing but forcing her feelings onto Sasuke until he eventually reciprocated. Itâs clear, itâs obvious.
In contrast, Karin never forced her feelings on to Sasuke at all:
Because Karin telling Sasuke that âall [they] need is each otherâ while getting uncomfortably close to him, to the point where he actually has to block her approach with his arm and tell her to back off, isnât a sign of her forcing her feelings on to him at all, nope.
Additionally, Sasuke always treated Karin with the utmost respect! I donât even need to mention how respectful Sasuke was to her when he pierced her chest with his Chidori, because thatâs just too obvious. Instead, letâs mention another great show of his respect, such as when he just nonchalantly tossed her aside with his Susanoo arm like a rag doll:
And then proceeded to order her around like a subordinate:
To which Karin then demonstrated what all the extremists keep spouting: She demonstrated how defiant she truly was, and how she always sticks up to Sasuke and never took any of his crap. She thoroughly showed this through her weak acceptance of his plans:
Because those stuttering words and that expression of defeat is the mark of a true rebel who takes no shit, regardless of who itâs from, of course!
On the other hand, Sasuke constantly insulted Sakura! I mean just look at all these examples:
Because the Naruto fandom is a place where calling someone âannoyingâ is terribly insulting, despite the fact that it is not an actual insult because it is not a disrespectful or scornfully abusive remark, nor does it mock the intelligence or physical attributes of the receiver. Add to that the fact that the 2nd and 3rd times that Sasuke used the remark towards Sakura were said in jest because it had become a recurring theme for them, and you have irrefutable evidence of how Sasuke constantly insulted Sakura throughout the series.
Whereas with Naruto, you can tell that there was always that respect there:
Just look at all of that respect! Beautiful wasnât it? Letâs include two more examples, just because I can :D
From all of that, I can really see why all those extremists constantly claim how Sasuke treated Sakura so badly, but they never say anything about how he treated Naruto. It was because he treated Naruto so much better! Because calling someone âannoyingâ is just so much worse than calling someone a âdrop-outâ, âdead-lastâ, a âmoronâ, a âbastardâ, a âloserâ, and a âdimwit idiotâ. Despite the fact that the six aforementioned terms are actually insulting as opposed to calling someone âannoyingâ. But you know, Naruto is strong, so that means Sasukeâs behaviour towards him can be overlooked. Meaning SS shippers are the only ones âidolising abuseâ, lol, makes sense.Â
The way Julian knew instinctively that he wasn't kissing Emma in the faerie is one of my favourite scenes. Served yearning so bad!!!!!
A New Obsession
"Are you alright? Are you hurt somewhere?" Sakura asked her husband, Sasuke. "I'm fine." Sasuke replied dismissively. He said, but his wife eyed at where his hand was placed. It's getting dark and so she started lighting a fire as Sasuke sat down almost carefully and leaned against the rocky wall. Sakura took a linen cloth and made a drape by the cave's entrance. "Come here," Sakura sat down beside him and patted on her lap. Sasuke eyed at her, almost incredulous. His ear blushed and looked away. "I told you I'm fine." Sakura smiled and brushed his hair to the side. Sasuke looked and eventually gave in, laying his head on her lap. He removed his hand away from his bleeding stomach. She began to heal his wound. "I got careless, that's all." "You were able to save those children." "It's the least I could do." "..." Sakura's smile softened. He of all people would know how it feels. "I don't know when I'll be able to feel like I've atoned my sins from the past, I feel like it'll go on forever." "I'll be there with you." Sasuke stiffened in his place. "Hm? What's wrong? Did I overdo it?" "Hn." Sasuke looked at her. "Did you...want to have a child?" Sakura blushed hard and started to panic. "S-SASUKE-KUN? WHERE DID YOU GET THAT FROM???" Sasuke felt the embarrassment and looked away "Forget it..." "....Sasuke-kun..." She felt bad and took a deep breath to calm herself down. "...of course I do." A hint of hesitance followed by as she asked the question. "But why did you ask so suddenly?" "Do you still think I deserve to have a family of my own?" Sakura blinked and couldn't believe what's happening right now, Sasuke being open and all. She snapped out of her surprise and answered him earnestly. "You deserve more than that, you deserve a home to return to. A place where you know you're loved." Sasuke looked at her once more. A hint of rueful smile graced his face. He began to sit up. "Sasuke-kun? You're not yet completely healed-" "Sakura." "Y-yes?" He stared at her more. Studying her as if he couldn't believe where he is right now, he had decided before and it was even clearer now. He inched closer. He waited for her approval. Sakura was panicking again from the inside, but she didn't think this day would come eventually. She nodded ever so slowly. Sasuke wasn't sure if he'll do it right. But somehow he was compelled to kiss her regardless of how he'll do it, his chest was filled with warmth and yearning for the person right in front of him. And so they kissed.
Sasuke softly laid his wife down and began kissing her deeper. It did things in his head, wanting to chase those feelings closer in its rawest form. He was filled with so much devotion for his wife and being an Uchiha made these profound feelings more deeper, more darker with need. He swept his tongue in their kiss and wanting entry into her pretty lips. Sakura gave him access. It was hard to breathe, he wanted to drown himself in her soft cherry scent. He craved harder, his twisted need wrung beyond comprehension, it's almost stupid. "S-Sasuke-kun," she breathed between the smallest window of their torrid kisses. Sasuke grew more selfish. Sakura never knew he could be this passionate, considering he never allowed himself to be with any other women. As heat crept up in their bodies, he felt the need to strip off his clothes. Sakura's ogled at his sculpted body. This was the first time she saw his body apart from aiding him from his wounds and illness. Professionalism was way out of the window. Seeing him in this setting made her mind dive into a sea of wanton. But when he pulled away for a bit, as if someone had tugged his leash, the cold air careened through her skin which was still clothed. "Is this too much?" Sasuke was panting, his rugged breath made his voice more coarse. It had put on an emphasis on his obvious desperation to continue. But he didn't want to hurt Sakura as he already had in the past. Beads of sweat were appearing on his forehead. Sakura had time to stare at his handsome face, he was breath-taking. There was a reason why people turn heads in his direction. Sasuke was studying her features, with her soft skin and emerald eyes that reflected his. So awfully clear, so awfully his. Despite the distance that had wedged itself between their years of knowing each other, somehow the bond they shared right here was more significant. She held his face with both of her hands and gave it a reassuring caress with her thumb. "Not at all, I don't break that easily." Sasuke stared at her before his fine lips formed a devastating smirk. Eyes darkened at the sight of her under him. "...of course." Sakura, feeling a little bold, asked her husband. "Would you like to undress me?" The pink of her cheeks reddened. His lips thinned at her request. "Are you okay with that?" She nodded. "...then." He began undoing her clothes. Sakura's eyes tightly shut and when he suddenly stopped, she peeked. Sasuke leaned closer and kissed her forehead.
Remember when Emma was drowning after finding the door to the ocean in Lady Midnight, and Julian - who had no idea where she was - started spitting up seawater?
I think Emma is about to cough up Julianâs blood.
Also the symbolism of Mark standing alone, Emmaâs pain will hurt Julian and Julianâs will hurt Emma, but Mark sees himself as most deserving because he loves them, and while it will hurt him, at least heâd be the only one feeling it. He has people who would feel pain for him, but no one would be able to feel his pain.
Earlier in the story, Julian looks at Mark, and admits that he thought his brother could withstand torture of the body, but forgot about how faeries could torture the mind, and Mark reveals that the only thing that could break Julian was Emma, and now Mark is seeing his nightmares come to life.
Their bond is being used to break them, used against eachother, and all he can do is beg to take their place.
I think this is also a great way of showing the bond work against Emma and Julian. They can strengthen eachother, but they can also weaken eachother.
âFemale on male physical abuse being used as "comedy" - This is probably my most hated one at the moment, because it's not fucking funny, and it makes my skin crawl. By constantly portraying this as a joke in mainstream media, it fuels this stupid notion that men can't actually be physically abused by women. Or at the very least, that it shouldn't be taken as seriously.â
Could you explain how this differs to Sakura hitting naruto for comedic purposes then?
It doesn't differ at all, I hated it whenever Sakura used to do that, and I've made that clear on numerous occasions. It was one of the biggest reasons why I did not like Sakura earlier during the story.
Thankfully, not only did this progressively lessen over the course of the story, but the trope was also totally exaggerated in the anime compared to the manga, and I only judge characters based on how they are in the source material, not their portrayal in the adaptation.
I get hating the troupe itself, but I don't think we should hate when characters do it thou, cuz they aren't supposed to be taken seriously, cuz 99%of the time it feels like an exaggeration(cuz the guy usually is totally fine after) or straight up ooc.
(What I mean by this is we shouldn't characterise the character as abusive/stupid, simply cuz they have to portray the troupe: like hating sakura and naruto(for being so stupid, cuz that is why he is getting hit) cuz they have this troupe attached to them)
Too many people hate Sakura over this comedy gag, is like hating Tom and Jerry

Well this got dark as expected. Lot of lore for Jinshi and his family in this one. Maomao solving the case in almost record time was funny, but it let us get to learn about Anshiâs mental state and the full story with the previous emperor.
I canât say I blame Anshi at all for hating the previous emperor. First of all, her dad sold her off as a little girl, then she has to sleep with a pedophile and bear his kid only for said pedophile to forget about her when she aged out of his tastes. She never got to have a normal life or do the things she wanted to do. Iâm a bit confused on her âtormentingâ the emperor tho did she end up raping him that night to pay him back for what he did to her or did she just tease him into a mind break?
After seeing the flashbacks Iâm definitely convinced the previous emperor was severely autistic and liked little girls because he was mentally a child himself. Doesnât make it right or ok, but just a psychological explanation. He never shouldâve been in a leadership position from the start with his mental problems. Unfortunate situation all around.
Love the little mother-son esque bonding moment at the end. Anshi peeping that Jinshi clearly has a thing for Maomao.. maybe thisâll make him a bit more aggressive with her going forward. đ good on Anshi not letting the fucked up shit in her past make her give up on life. Even with all its ups and downs itâs still worth it.
Great episode, good job Maomao!
Maddy i know it is wrong to feel like this but is it just me or does your blood ever boil knowing you couldâve done a better job at writing some of the characters in naruto(no disrespect to kishimoto)
Well, that's kinda tough to answer.
I wouldn't have changed anything with regards to the characters themselves because I think they were written fine, I just would have changed a few of the things that happened.
Off the top of my head, for Naruto, I would haveâŚ
Placed less focus on Naruto and Sasuke - Because they often siphoned attention away from those who would have benefitted much more from it.
Kept Naruto as the loser underdog, and not made him some uber-special child of prophecy -Â Because it was a lot more interesting that way.
Given Sakura the Jesus no jutsu instead of Naruto -Â Because it made no sense whatsoever that Naruto was given this ability, despite medical ninjutsu being Sakuraâs field of expertise.
Given Sakura more 1 on 1 fights - Because her abilities in Part 2 warranted this, and it would have done wonders to quell the obnoxious âuselessâ accusations.
Allowed the Konoha rookies to shine more than they did in Pt.2 -Because Naruto and Sasuke completely left them in the dust.
Given the Sharingan less capabilities -Â Because it essentially became one of the biggest Weapons of Mass Destruction in the series, and the Izanagi is beyond cheap.
Not made it so easy to transplant freaking EYES -Â Because that allowed for a lot of bullshit to occur.
Given Kaguya more hype prior to her appearance, if she was always gonna be the final âBig Badâ - Because Madara outshined her in every way, thereby leaving fans rather deflated with Kaguya.
Made Naruto vs Sasuke Pt.2 longer -Â Because as the final fight, it needed to be a little longer.
Made chapters 699-700 MUCH longer -Â Because nowhere near enough information was given. This was rectified through later material, but still. Iâd have extended 699 by 10-15 chapters, and 700 by 5 chapters.
For Boruto, I would haveâŚ
Not made Sasuke spend the better part of a frigginâ decade away from his family -Â Because that was completely unnecessary to relay the message that Kishi wanted to communicate. It was drama for the sake of pointless drama, nothing more.

it's so funny how like 80% of naruto villains are just people who have aspirations other than dying at 20 in a ninja war. deidara was an artist, orochimaru was a scientist, kakuzu literally just wanted that bag, hidan was a priest, obito just wanted his polycule back. if none of them had pursued shinobihood in the first place, they would've literally been fine. this dumbass occupation
And Sasori was a medic and apothecary
wait hold up did u forget that sakura saved naruto and the anime never animated that scene correctly
I forgot! đ But yeah, this is the first example of the anime taking away something good for Sakura. I'm not sure why they didn't animate it because so far I feel like they where bettering her character.
They animated her jumping in the background, but not the panel itself with her on top of him
The gif:
