Yo, I'm Lucien, but you can call me "Luke." Or "dipshit." I answer to both. (He/Him/His pronouns).

This remains one of the craziest things that's happened in the SNS fandom

You can read the full doujinshi here.

There's the possibility Kishimoto saw this doujinshi, since it was published on Japanese art platform Pixiv, however that doesn't necessarily means he copied it, after all he said he'd been planning this chapter for 15 years, even before serialization of the manga started. Nevertheless it's proof of SNS shippers having such deep understanding of Kishimoto's writing, unlike the rest of the fandom, this person in particular was able to predict panels of Naruto and Sasuke's eventual reconciliation.

It's possible the artist realized one way or another Kishimoto would reference Haku and Zabuza from the very first arc, giving us a full circle moment

these two not ending up together is the biggest joke ever

[kseniacho]

do you want au? i have one. okay, naruto is a monk, an orphan who grew up in a monastery. sasuke, no doubt, is a samurai from a respected clan.

the main thing is not to kill each other during the journey.

I'm so fucking excited. Naruto is my first fandom in my life, Narusasu is my first pairing. And now, after nineteen years, I finally drew art with my favorite boys.

yess, i’m old old woman

I've managed to dilute myself into thinking the only reason sasuke didn't go to naruto's wedding is cus it would have undermined the whole thing

Sasuke would show up and he and naruto would do their whole double meaning conversation thing and naruto would longingly stare at sasuke n shit and when sasuke leaves the day after the wedding because he still despises konoha naruto would all but beg him to stay just a little longer and sasuke would say some shit like "don't you have a honeymoon to get to dobe" and naruto would have to respond to that in a way that contains no homosexual undertones because he got hetero!married less than a day ago

And while all that's happening Naruto and hinata would just have normal conversations because they aren't that close and they stare at each other with love but not longing which is a thing and then hinata would have to like do something while naruto and sasuke have their goodbye for now chat because sasuke wouldn't be vulnerable around a woman he barely knows and naruto wouldn't force him to which means naruto and hinata wouldn't be together lazing around their house and basking in the glow of just being married (which is like a staple in media) not because of some big thing but because naruto and sasuke need to talk

Or GOD FORBID naruto is angsty at his own goddamm wedding because he doesn't know how to talk to sasuke (only at his retreating figure) and hinata has to be the one to tell him to talk to sasuke

and this doesn't even need to happen in a world where naruto and sasuke have feelings for each other it just needs to happen in a world where naruto misses sasuke which is...

And we still can see it in their 30's. When sasuke is willing to sacrifice his freedom and hate towards konoha to fulfill naruto's dream, and naruto is ready to sacrifice his dream as hokage to protect sasuke's life when he had mission.

This is the tea, and it won't change (as long as kishimoto is the author😌)

[andysaas]

they are so cute

Do you think Sasuke thought a lot about Naruto during the 3 years separation?

Hi, yes and the scene where they met after three years of not seeing each other showcase it. Look at their intense gaze, how long they stare at each other. You can even feel the tension from these panels.

Look at Sasuke's expression here. It is soft and different than his usual face. This is not the look of someone that does not care about the other person. Sasuke also expresses some jealousy by the fact that he was replaced by Sai. He deliberately calls him weak to damage his image. I saw some SS claiming that he was jealous of Sai because of Sakura also but this is total bs. This scene connects to the first meeting of Sai and Sasuke. Sai mentions there Naruto and Sasuke listens but when Sai says that he will get along better with Sasuke than with Naruto, Sasuke puts him into genjutsu. Sasuke is possessive and the fact that he reacted to Naruto's name bait shows that he thought about him.

Then we have one of SNS favourite scenes which is when Sasuke jumps towards Naruto and 'hugs' him very closely. It is very intimate especially the pose, the placement of Sasuke's arm and his chest is very visible. This scene is also very provocative especially when Sasuke talks to Naruto. Sasuke is not known to be this physically close with anyone so the fact that he did all of that confirms that he wanted to be close to Naruto.

Furthermore, this is also the instance where Sasuke is not happy with being called friend by Naruto. When Naruto says that he does not deserve to be the Hokage because he did not save a friend, Sasuke humphs! Look at his expression. Sasuke clearly thinks it was a stupid excuse and is dissatisfied.

He also stopped his attack on Yamato to check on Naruto and went into his mind. He took care of Kurama who wanted Naruto to lose control. Why would Sasuke do such thing if he wanted to kill Naruto? Because he cared even during these three years of not seeing each other.

Lastly, when Naruto calls his name Sasuke is shown to have a very soft, longing expression while looking at Naruto. He is self conflicted because on the one hand he knows that he have to kill him to get stronger just like Itachi said but on the other his heart and his feelings for Naruto do not let him do it. Before departing they look at each other once again. Sasuke clearly loves Naruto and vice versa.
