You believe you have the emotional palate of Sasuke? Please. Sasuke wouldn't bat an eye if 99% of the Narutoverse died in front of him.

Obviously his emotional range is skewed much further than yours. You can't compare a real world relationship to this.
Kishi based Naruto and Sasuke off of a real world relationship between him and his brother, apparently.

This truly depend on the mindset Sasuke you're talking about. Sasuke actually hated the shit Orochimaru does.(The experiments and what not) If he was truly didn't give a shit, he wouldn't said anything about it or freed them. He's heartless, but not THAT heartless.

yep Naruto and Sasuke never to me had any true friendship. Gaara, shikamaru and konohamaru are his a true friend.

Reread chapter 699 U_U

No, he should reread part 1. They do grow close, very close and form a bond of rivalry which started during the Zabuza and Haku arc but because of Orochimaru, Sasuke began to get jealous of Naruto's growth and when Itachi came back, Sasuke totally flipped.

Sasuke wanted to risk his life for Naruto and Sakura more than once and gave up on his ambition for revenge because he found new important people he wanted to protect, but like I said, Oro messed things up. I've started rereading part 1 and I saw that Sasuke cared about both Naruto and Sakura, but his rivalry with Naruto made it hard for both of them to actually admit that they care about each other. After they grew close during the Zabuza arc and Sasuke almost died to protect Naruto, their rivalry actually became worse.

Kishi specializes in dysfunctional relationships: Naruto obsessing over Sasuke, Sakura doing the same, Hinata obsessing over Naruto.

Kishi is so full of crap. All we saw in the series is Naruto and Sasuke constantly bickering. Then Sasuke sacrifices himself out of nowhere.Then they go home and are still bickering.

Then they enter the Chunin Exams and are still bickering although Sasuke comes to see naaruto at a rival. And begins to acknowledge his strength. That is acknowledgement as a rival. Not as a freakin friend or brother.

Who does he think he's kidding? I see no brotherly bond anywhere. They fight in the valley and all of a sudden Naruto sees him as a brother. I can understand their connection as both having been lonely and that's what connects them as rivals. But as brothers? No man just no.

And now I see why Kishi tried to shove this bond crap down our throats so much. My younger sisters are twins and they talk about how connected they are. I guess when you spend your entire existence bonded to someone else being alone can be harder for a twin then for other people. In that case I wonder why he didn't make Ashura and Indra twins. that would have been interesting.

Now he has to rely on them being brothers from another life for us to halfway swallow this jagged pill of bullshit bonds. oh yeah, and it seems like kishi was fluctuating between connecting them as brothers or friends. Throughout the story Naruto calls him either a brother or friend. He has been inconsistent with the type of bond he feels with Sasuke.

anyway, kishi admitted that he screwed up so I guess I can shut up.

Yeah, but what about behind the scenes, outside of missions, in the bedroom?

LOL.....well, they obviously went on missions off panel which qualified them for the chunin exams, but if Kishi was going to make bonds such a huge part of the story, he absolutely needed to show (not tell) more stuff that solidified their bond...ALL of their bonds....bonds between all 3 kids.

So many important things we have to rely on fillers and a damn movie to make sense of. Such a shame.

You can tell the difference between a 'true' writer like Oda or Togashi and a simple mangaka with a good stroy, great art, and average 'writing' skills. When it comes the the artistry of writing, Kishi falls far short. Such a shame-though I love the story which obviously has me here *****ing about what it used to be, what it became, and what I wish it was.

It's like Anakin and Obi-Wan's friendship, shit in the movies, great in the fillers (the EU).
