we're gonna time travel to 2 days ago just for this post alright. okay. thank u. <3

this is also a crayon queen/cpau style study, (just for the one on the left) I think I did okayyyyy

in the japanese, she calls sasuke “danna-sama” 旦那様 (“lord husband”), which is an extremely old-fashioned, overly respectful and submissive way of referring to your husband and she also uses “anata” アナタ (it means “you” and between spouses “darling/dear”) in front of sarada. shes clearly putting on this exaggerated image of the perfect loving wife to keep up appearances and make sarada feel less miserable about their family situation.

but when shes alone without sasuke and sarada, she refers to sasuke as “otto” 夫 the most neutral/formal word for “husband” and it doesnt inherently communicate affection, intimacy or emotional closeness its just husband.

the contrast is literally right there in the japanese: in front of sarada shes performing this hyper-romantic, overly devoted wife persona while privately she drops all of that and uses the most ordinary term.

and sasuke is funny too because he calls sakura “tsuma” 妻 literally “wife,” which is also a neutral, straightforward way of referring to your wife. he only does it in front of sarada maybe to play along with the image of a family for her sake.

and sasusaku fans are hilariously funny and dumb theyre literally rewriting the entire meaning of 妻 (tsuma) to make it sound romantic and profound when it literally just means “wife.” its the ordinary lexical term for a married man referring to his wife. it doesnt mean devote/beloved wife, pillar of the household, emotional foundation of the family or any of the other things they keep attaching to it. since most people arent going to understand japanese or fact check what theyre saying they can just make up these elaborate definitions and present them as linguistic facts like they always do lol

so while sakura is out here doing the absolute most with the danna-sama + anata performance, sasuke is literally doing the bare minimum necessary to make sarada happy. the japanese wording makes the whole thing even more obvious because the exaggerated language is coming almost entirely from sakura’s side and sasuke really….. dgaf!

Python, Caspar von Bergliez, and Legault have been dropped and are now available!

Its funny how its not only SS stans who use purposefully wrong translations to proof something that isn't there but also these sns retards

Real translation:

🤨

The “gossip” tone makes it sound like Sasuke’s main contacts in Konoha are strained or unwanted, which only reinforces that distance from both Naruto and Sakura. It almost highlights that his real connections lie elsewhere.

It is kind of funny, because it unintentionally comes off as a critique of both Naruto and Sakura. Sasuke avoids Sakura completely, and at the same time he’s shown as having tense, almost fight-ready encounters with Naruto — it paints a picture of him not really wanting anything to do with either of them.

I wonder where and with whom else he is in contact... I guess I already know.

If we look at it, the wording plus the context from Chapter 699 and Gaiden makes it feel that way.

○ With Sakura – He doesn’t visit her, doesn’t send letters, and even in Gaiden he only meets her indirectly through Sarada. The fact that the text here doesn’t mention her at all speaks volumes.

○ With Naruto – He does meet him, but the description frames it as tense, with an undercurrent of conflict (“on the verge of clashing”).

So the image it paints is: Sasuke’s closest Konoha relationships are either avoided (Sakura) or strained (Naruto). And yeah… that definitely gives off the “he doesn’t want to deal with them” vibe.

Hi, me too. I made a post about team 7 dynamic and I stated that everyone's relationship on this team was fake expect Kakashi's but Sakura was the worst. She used everyone around her to get what she wanted and when she got it she pulled a symbolic middle finger to the people that helped her. She sometimes talks with Ino but even with her she does not trust her fully. When it comes to Naruto it is just terrible and sad. Throughout the Gaiden they barley even talked. When Shin was attacking Naruto, Sasuke and Sarada, Sakura was only concerned about Sasuke and her daughter. Naruto had to say sth about his condition for her to even ask him if he was okay. This is not what a medical ninja does. The anime saved her sorry ass by adding dialogue "my dearest friend" so ss stans can shut their mouths when they talk about anime making Sakura worse. It is the opossite, anime improves her character. I also want to mention that she does not talk to Kakashi, her teacher who saved and protected her so many times, even pushed her feelings on Sasuke. I know there will be people who will say 'but Sasuke also does not talk to anyone' but Sasuke is not fake and from the beginning it was shown that he only accepts and talks to Naruto. It is better to be real than to fake your whole relationship with everyone around.
