There was a moment in part II where Sakura was healing Naruto, and he says:
"It feels like we’re getting closer to Sasuke together"
(I can’t actually find panels of this scene, but I 100% remember reading it)
Is is just too f*cking hilarious, because this one line Naruto says basically sums up the NaruSaku relation: It’s centered aroud the emo duckbutt. There is no, and I mean NO NO NO moment between these two that doesn’t involve Sasuke OR Sakura beating Naruto up.
There are also some who claim NS has had legit “Serious" moments.
Let me make this simpler to understand:
The NaruSaku relation is ONLY EVER SERIOUS when it involves Sasuke (POAL, H&E Bridge, Failfession etc)
BUT, if ther is NO Sasuke, it’s used for comedy (Ramen feeding scene, chapter 631, Konohamaru teasing Naruto etc)
Kishi could have easily had Naruto say:
"It feels like we’re getting closer together"
But no, the evil duckbutt intefered in their tru lub.
NS seriously needs to comprehend this, the fact that the NS relationship is nothing without Sasuke, nor is it anything but comradeship towards a common goal.
