Their bond was forced as F! Like I don't see any reason for why Hebi Sasuke would be friends again with naruto after fighting Itachi. Kishi clearly made Taka Sasuke younger and childish than Hebi Sasuke to make him "friend-able and savable" for Naruto.
Yeah the moment Naruto said that he wouldn't become Hokage because he couldn't save Sasuke, that right there was the first step of the Manga becoming trash. The entirety of bad characterization on Naruto's part came from Kishimoto's retarded obsession over their relationship. It was hard to take Naruto seriously when he was even at his bed side wondering if Sasuke was okay.

And I love Naruto as a character, but Kishimoto did him wrong. Sasuke too, but not as terrible as the former.

------

I honestly I believe the Manga became trash the moment the series turned focus into Naruto and Sasuke's relationship in contrast to the series lore, which happened in the final fight of the series. Most people agree with the fact that the War Arc (mostly after the Pain Arc) is where the series fell, but in my opinion the moment that their bond was put forced into the spotlight and had more focus than any other bond (VoTE1), it was clear that Kishimoto had bigger plans to make this Manga extremely wack.

Shippuden would have been a lot less cringe-worthy without the forced Team 7 trying to win back Sasuke when his ass obviously didn't want to come back after almost three years of being with Orochimaru. Still, it's hilarious either way. I'm thankful we don't see any of that gay shit in the next generation, at least not yet. When it starts, you won't be seeing me online much lmao.

Yeah The whole friendship bond made more sense with Madara and Hashirama and relates to them more. Agreed.

Mind everyone that Kishimoto's hard on for Naruto and Sasuke's bond was going to be bad on both characters if the series ended the way he wanted to.

I'm sure most people already know, but Kishimoto wanted to end VoTE2 with Naruto and Sasuke holding hands and so forth. :lol

Just imagine that ending for just a split second :lol

As much as I love Adult Naruto/Sasuke's interactions, I can't discredit horrible development and shit tier characterization on both parts.

If people would take a second to look at the damage Kishimoto did to force their shitty ass relationship, they would probably be surprised. This goes for pairings too.

And even now people are still trolling by saying Naruto is stronger... But it's only Naruto fans saying it so munch bias.

Agreed. It had potential, but so did everything else in Naruto.

Kishimoto has a knack for knowing how he wants things to end, but doesn't have the patience to develop them with care. Hence the force.

It's hard to believe how dumb some of these people are here.. The growth Adult Sasuke showed, it's just plain stupid to think he's some how weaker than Naruto..

Ikr ? How easy would it have been for Sasuke to summon the Gedo and rip Kurama out of Naruto again ? Or how easy would it have been for him to pierce Naruto's body with Enton ? Kishi used too much plot shield

Won't be easy at all. I agree about the plot shield, otherwise Naruto would've ended it too quickly.

At no point in the manga have they been equal. Which is why its laughable when brought up.

Pahahaha! So WHAT ?! it's SAGE MODE... wake the **** up... SAGE MOOOODE! SAGE MODE= Senjutsu. Nothing ****ing else.

Also, that's a ****ing filler, it wasn't stated in the manga :lmao:
Without Sage mode Haguromo would not have defeated Kaguya nor Naruto Kishi hammers thawt point in the Manga to the point that Sasuke had to borrow Jugo's help in using Nature chakra and Madara had to steel it for Harashima.If you can't see that then why read the Manga? Sines Kishi had Naruto combine both Kurama/Sage mode to win the War and made Sasuke surrender.

Once the free power giveaways began, it is clear that the author tried his best to match them toe to toe...

From their revivals, them being equal is definitely forced.

Sasuke defeated Naruto 3 or 4 times to Naruto's 1

Numbers don't lie. Fanboys do.

Naruto is dead right now and Sasuke is not.

Sasuke held his own against Momo and that other dude while Naruto did not.

Sasuke also did a lot better against Shin while Naruto got owned.

Sasuke is superior to Naruto. When they were younger it was > or < or = at times, but now all facts show that Sasuke is in fact superior to that of Naruto and if they were to fight Sasuke would defeat him easily.
