But that's falling into the trap of how everyone superficially perceives Sasuke too. Cold is someone like p1 Neji, who just does the strictly professional thing and fuck everyone else. Sasuke cares for people in his own way, even if it's not a big number of people - he's def not outgoing. I don't see him as a uwu softboy but also not as this fuckboy cliché. I guess what that misguided "softboy Sasuke" trope tries to shatter is this image of cocky alpha asshole with no feelings and 2 expressions.

part 2// It’s the same way that I often find fandom takes the “softboy Naruto” thing too far. He definitely fits the stereotype more than Sasuke, but at the end of the day in trying to break the Hulky Alpha Jock Naruto stuff this depiction also takes too far some parts of his characterization and entirely obliterates others. He’s sweet but selectively compassionate, can be really brash and aggressive and even callous and condescending, and that doesn’t mean he’s any less genuinely loving or kind

Neji tells the sound people that “no one hurts their teammate and gets away with it”, and also fondly calls lee hot blooded. He’s also shown training with tenten, which sasuke would never do with sakura, and in addition he actually gets extremely emotional during his fight with hinata and naruto. I wouldn’t say neji is strictly professional and fuck everyone else at any point. But he can be cold, distant, rude, and so can sasuke.

Maybe i just have ptsd from naruto twt making sasuke a blushing sub with cat ears while naruto is a hulking alpha dom, but i genuinely do not see sasuke being depicted as a ‘cocky alpha asshole with 2 expressions’ at all in this fandom, idt anyone besides me and the prostate gang and a few others even questioned the fragile, hysterical depiction until we kept posting about it

I agree naruto isn’t a softboy, he can be rowdy and aggressive, but i dont feel the need to point out these aspects of him as much because theyre already heavily played up in fandom. Conversely i think sasuke’s vulnerability is greatly exaggerated, i dont think he’s emotionless or evil but even at his nicest he’s never exactly vying for approval from everyone or crying openly or blushing shyly (all things naruto does which the fandom ignores, which is weird because theyre as much a part of him as his leadership ability, tenacity, and assertiveness)

sns propaganda I won't fall for:

- crazy possessive/toxic abusive ex naruto

- naruto would kill himself if sasuke ever died

- naruto threatened sasuke with murder-suicide

- top naruto

- sasuke/kushina "parallels"

- naruto wants to lock sasuke in the attic/basement

- fem!naruto would only be butch

- naruto loves sasuke like a dog

- shippuden

and some of these are common talking points from naruto antis repackaged as "hot" by shippers as if they're canon

My body would move on its own...

1. Land of waves

間に合え is the conjugation of verb 間に合う meaning "to make it in time".

Naruto jumped in to save Sasuke, and put both of their life at risk but.... if Naruto put himself in danger, Sasuke's body would move on its own.

2. Forest of death (fighting against Orochimaru)

Last time, Naruto jumped in to save Sasuke in the Land of the Waves arc and Sasuke's body moved on its own to save him. To avoid facing the same problem again, Sasuke is willing to give the scroll away... and abandoning his goal of obtaining the scroll in order to protect Naruto. (He never once planned on giving up his scroll when he was with Sakura and seeing how frightened she was at that moment. But when Naruto came in the scene he willingly give the scroll to Orochimaru).

" I DON'T KNOW HOW STRONG THIS GUY IS BUT... WHAT GUARANTEE IS THERE THAT HE'LL LET US GO IF WE GIVE HIM THE SCROLL?"

Why is Sasuke acting like a fool and thinking that if he gives the scroll the giant snake guy will let them go?? Don't Sasuke already know that is a trap?? Don't we know he's not the type to act like a fool at critical moments?? So why he come up with this stupid decision?? what is the reason behind his panic??

It wasn't because he felt that Naruto would make his situation worse....but because he didn't want to see Naruto put himself in danger. Check out Sasuke's reaction in the panel above when Naruto asks him a critical question. His brain completely shut down the moment Naruto arrived, his only concern at the time was protecting him from any danger. That's why he made a fool of himself and made a foolish decision.

How many times does he tell him to 逃げろ- Nigero - escape; run away. This was not the Sasuke that Naruto knew. It was Sasuke who taught him not to run away like a coward in fearful moments. Now he screams at him to run away from the enemy. That disappointed Naruto.

3. Forest of death (with Kabuto)

"USING SHARINGAN MAKES THE MARK ON MY NECK HURT..."

Again when Naruto's life was in danger... He forced his body to use the last bit of chakra to help him. Because of this he experienced immense pain in the neck. Even after all this he didn't let Naruto know the mark on his neck because he didn't want to worry him. (sfx used here was ズキッ - sharp pain; throbbing pain; pounding. Adding ッ to show 'the pain is stronger').

He didn't care about his body, he didn't care to die for him, he didn't care about the pain he was getting by using his chakra... All that mattered to him was protecting Naruto and saving him.

The result of forest of death:

What Orochimaru witnessed + Kabuto's analysis of Sasuke = Since Naruto possesses so much influence over Sasuke-kun... I must separate them immediately

Do you think he won't notice? It was obvious that he would notice the changes in Sasuke whenever Naruto was involved.

Sasuke saw through Naruto disguise .... two times.

When he was with his other teammate (Sakura) he didn't give up the scroll even though he ran away in fear. But when that Naruto kid shows up he willingly gives up the scroll.

Listening to that boy's words, he began to fight without fear of death even though he knew he could not defeat him.

These circumstances reduce his chances of success to obtaining Sasuke's body by manipulating him for his desire for power. That's why he wants to separate them immediately....if Sasuke was running away from his goal of becoming strong and risking his life for 'Naruto'.... that would be a hindrance to his plan.

4. Throwing himself as a pillow

When the fight between Naruto & Gaara.... Sasuke keeps his eye focused on Naruto. Sasuke was watching this carefully....When Naruto gets repeatedly knocked into trees by a transformed Gaara. He even said to himself, "this is not how Naruto usually fight." (Well, because he saw Gaara in backstage killing the others and walking through their river of blood with a murderous aura). Sasuke couldn't stand Naruto getting hurt over and over again with every attack. What happens after that is:

"AND... EVEN IN HIS CURRENT CONDITION, SASUKE MANAGED TO CATCH NARUTO!"

Pakkun emphasizes Sasuke's attempt to protect Naruto despite in his bad condition.

Does he really need to be caught though? Naruto wouldn't be hurt that badly if he hit the tree. Why would he risk his life to catch him when he himself is in no better shape? Why was he throwing himself at Naruto as a pillow?

whenever Naruto was in danger his body really moving on its own.

5. Naruto vs gaara

When Naruto was stuck in the sand, Sasuke tried to get up to help him, even though his whole body was in pain. Sfx used in Sasuke's panel- ズキ (zuki) onomatopoeia word for 'sharp pain'.

6. Sasuke looking for Naruto

Before this scene, we saw that Sasuke was jealous of Naruto getting stronger than him. No matter how hard he trained, he couldn't get any stronger. He went to see Kakashi for training advice. But when he hears that his brother is following Naruto, does his jealousy stop him from looking for Naruto? NO.

No matter what happens his body unconsciously rushes to Naruto when something happens to him.

7. I need to kill him, but first I want to protect him

• He placed his hand in front of Naruto, shielding him with his Susanoo.

• He protecting Naruto from the infinite tsukuyomi with Susanoo.

• He ignores Sakura and Kakashi and only saves Naruto as everyone is about to fall into the lava pit.

Sasuke could never kill Naruto…he tried so many times…he had so many chances to finish him off…but he couldn't. When Naruto was in danger.....Sasuke's body move on it's own. Because he loved Naruto more than himself.
