Boy, just say you want him near you and you want his children and just get it over with... Infinite Tsukuyomi my ass just use a genjutsu or EVEN BETTER talk to the other simp in this equation who wants EXACTLY the same thing...

And mind you those two are truly simps who can't keep it in their pants.. They may even be worse than Narusasu! I never thought I'd live to see the day that Naruto is outsimped but here we are...

From my extremely rational and definitely not biased Narusasu brain, this makes perfect sense: Naruto meets Sasuke, gets hit with a whole emotional crisis about whatever that is, and immediately goes “ah yes, women 👍” because clearly that will fix everything. Peak heteronormative panic response.

AND THEN episode 57 really said let’s make it worse. Sai is trying to comfort him, being all calm and emotionally perceptive for once (he thinks), and Naruto straight up goes that it’s “dangerous” to stay alone with him??? Excuse me??? Dangerous how, Naruto??? 🤨 And instead of unpacking THAT, he bolts to go find Sakura.

Like not only is he avoiding the conversation, he’s avoiding Sai—who, might I remind everyone, canonically looks like Sasuke. So now it’s giving: being alone with someone who reminds him of Sasuke is “dangerous” because ??? feelings ??? and he cannot deal with that so he runs to Sakura as a safe, socially acceptable distraction.
