Narusasusaku is the best mutual pining ship of all time actually, because all of them think they’re the odd one out and none of them know how to communicate.
Sakura thinks that her love is unrequited because she will never have the soul bond that either of them have with each other.
Naruto thinks that sasusaku are meant to be. Sasuke doesn’t see him romantically and hasn’t Sakura-chan loved Sasuke since they were twelve? There’s no room for him in this relationship.
Sasuke thinks that after everything that’s happened, the two of them are better off without him. They both have a close bond without any complications or past turmoil, while he went out of his way to ruin his relationship with both of them.
All three of them would probably pine after the other two members of the not-yet-formed throuple for years before getting together because they’re all dense as rocks and too busy drowning in insecurity and trauma to see that actually, everything they want is literally in their laps!
this is one thousand percent true Narusasusaku has my whole heart
