this is a sasuten little roadmap (?) for my own self indulgence.
i will probably do a part two. i can only feel or write them as being one big ass slowburn. specially on sasuke's part, lol. it would be nice if someday i could do a proper fic for them. anyways, here are my crumbs.
notes english is not my first language
universe naruto
pairing tenten x uchiha sasuke
it is set two years after the war, but 'the last' never happened, because i haven't cared enough to watch (but i did dig the outfits though) there is no alien bullshit on my story as well, by the way.
sasuke needs some repairs for his sword. kakashi tells him tenten opened a new store specialized in weapons.
while walking to the place, he was actually trying to remember anything of important about her, but, the memories were vague. she was always around the group. she was brunette, and that was it. oh… she also had some of the six paths sage tools. so… that would actually make her competent in handling weapons, one would hope.
after arriving at the store, he took note of everything. it was a place that reeked of history and memory. the way the weapons were displayed had reverence. it also had some space between isles, so people could try sway a little bit. the whole place was curated with the best noble wood, and the colors were dark and grounding. it was simple, classic and honorable. he liked it.
then he showed her the sword, saying that kakashi send him there. she was chipper, amused and surprised to see him. it was strange, she reminded him of a contained naruto. but after she reviewed the sword, he saw a level of judgment and clarity - at least, in the practical and the way of devices - that his friend lacked.
tenten told him that his kusanagi needed a little more of work, it was way worn, almost fray, if the iron wasn't so good. she asked him to comeback in three days. when he did cameback to the store, tenten had a sign that said she was at home for the day. he found it weird, but he went to her home anyways.
he found her in her garden. tenten was sitting in a nure-en (wooden deck). she had his sword in hand, doing some final tweaks with strange tools he never seen. she told him it were appliances of her own invention.
sasuke learned that she was always testing, tweaking and trying new ways to forge weapons. that includes experimentation. she was scientist and artist of the blades and such. he felt real respect for her as a shinobi.
she called him, finally declaring his sword "reborn like a phoenix". he asked what that is, and she blinked, remembering that, she was, indeed, an immigrant to the land fire. her parents came a couple of years after she was born to konoha, both of them dealed with weapons in the land of dragons (her homeland) and at the time, it seemed like a good choice.
then, she explained to him what a phoenix was. the whole concept. the magical bird that would die, and after a while, become alive once more. forever reincarnating in itself. she rambled a bit about how there were beautiful poetry from the ancients about the creature. how it was reverred in several cities as well.
she only stopped when she felt like it was too much. when tenten was excited, and the other party not, she would take a notch down. but instead of annoyed, sasuke's expression was solemn. from tenten's memories of his face, he always had his lip twisted, his brow furrowed. now, he reminded her of a still lake. (what wonders one must find under waters like that?)
sasuke payed her, and thanked her. he did a mental note to search more about phoenixes and the culture of the land of dragons in the public library. he loved birds. and the message of hope that the phoenix brought… it made his chest tingle in a way it didn't in a long time.

One might think a union between the infamous Sasuke Uchiha and Tenten won't work. That they're too different to be considered a pair. But it's because of that, the two of them have found a love that they can each enjoy. Their language spoke loudly, through hugs.
A hug for Sasuke, when he's suffering from nightmares and flashbacks in his sleep.
A hug for Tenten, when she finally gets to move up in the world and to be taken more seriously as a shinobi.
Whenever they shared a tight embrace, it was their language showing itself for the world to witness.
They were friends, they were lovers, they were husband and wife.
Wrapping a blanket around their shoulders from behind.
Sometimes, it's the little things in life, that we treasure the most. Tenten learned that well after a year of marriage to Sasuke Uchiha.
Whether it was the silent smiles shared between lovers. Whether it was their walks through the village together. Or even when they were sparring one another, just for the hell of it. All of those things were precious in her mind and heart.
So she sat by the fireplace, gently rubbing her pregnant stomach, when Sasuke came from behind to wrap a blanket around her. The soft crackling of the embers made the night feel extra warm and cozy. She smiled and scooted closer to him as he joined her.
"I love you." She told her husband.
Sasuke kissed her forehead gently. "I love you too."
Sasuke never imagined his life would turn out the way that it did, but if you ask him: Would you do it all over again? What do you think he'll say?
His life was filled with sorrow, anger, and depression. His world was shattered by his older brother's hands. The home- what was supposed to be his home was nothing but a corrupted lie. So what does a person in his shoes do?
Should he rebel and risk it all on a great of revolution? Or should he just accept his fate and try to do right? Well, he does both actually.
He fought hard for the corruption to end in Konohagakure. It was him verses an entire village, but with his work and with time, he achieved his goal. The village yielded, and the justice he sought for all his fallen kin was avenged at last. There were a lot of major changes, even his peers couldn't help but be impressed by his tenacity.
And one would think: he's going to be alone for the rest of his life...
Well, he stunned everyone once again, when he took Tenten as his wife. No one not even his teammates, saw the match coming. Sasuke was always private with his personal affairs and Tenten could respect that. They were married in the summer. Despite his intimidating and cold demure, Sasuke was all in all a good husband to Tenten.
Right now, the couple were enjoying some quiet time as the sun began to go down. It was one of their own little rituals. His arm wrapped around his wife's waist in a loving embrace, while Tenten rested on his shoulder.
It was always times like this that made Sasuke glad he took the steps in life that he did. He wouldn't trade what he had with Tenten for the world.
When I was a teenager, I cosplayed Tenten (Naruto) and took a picture with a guy who was cosplaying Sasuke (Naruto Shippuden). He put his hand close to my face, and my legs melted. I felt nervous at the same moment.
However, I had low self-esteem (which I still have) and it was impossible for me to think that a guy like him could have any interest in me. Hours later, when I was tired as hell, he found me holding my broom handle (it was a supposed weapon haha) and asked me if he could use it. "As you wish", I said. So, this awesome-Sasuke-cosplayer did some cool movements and I melted one more time. He gave me back my supposed weapon and gone.
Close to the end of the event, I found him and took one more pic. He was closer than before. And... It was this. A teenage crush, a supposed SasuTen of my past. I'd never known his name, and this upsets me until today. I would like to find him and know how he's going.
(I'm almost married now. And my husband cosplayed Kiba)

They’re great for each other. Tenten is the only one who will challenge Sasuke’s mindset and force him to confront the things he’s been avoiding. Tenten genuinely enjoys spending time with him and loves the thrill and challenge that comes with being with him.
They’re terrible for each other. Sasuke uses her as a form of punishment, weakly protesting her accusations and knowing that she doesn’t truly love him. Tenten doesn’t grow from their relationship and uses the distraction to push everything away.
Also I kind of read them both as on the asexual spectrum. Tenten will do it, but more in a tab goes into slot kind of way. She can get into it, but only if she’s really feeling it. It’s more for the power dynamics and the thrill. Sasuke is actively uninterested but will do it to make Sakura happy and to produce a clan heir. He’d do it for Tenten later if she asked, but I envision things more as power plays and extremely sexually charged fighting than actual sex.
But yeah. I need more of them :)
(Sorry about taking so long to answer I had a very busy week…)
HELL UEAHHHHH oops i did this out loud and my roommates r jusdging me again hold on
ok i’m back lol here’s the chart.
ive talked to death about sasuten so I wont rehash all of it here. you can pop into the tag on my blog if u want even more about them but long story short i love these two so much they are SO bad for each other.
they're having weird sex, they're antagonizing each other, she's driving him to violence, he's making her process her grief in a weird way. sasuke is just a chewtoy to tenten, meanwhile she's just relieved that tenten doesn't love them at all.
i do like their very minimal canon interactions (he's cute! + her little pout in shippuden when naruto wont let her go kill sasuke) but I desperately need more good fic about them.
I'd never imagined Sasuke and Tenten as a ship until I read a fanfiction with them. It works. It works a lot! Now I want more fics with them (even tho I have to finish my KibaTen 🫠🫠🫠).
