I can't speak for all of them but i know for certain Naruto was never and will never be centered around Sasuke, that would ruin the entire manga.how when they're all centered around Sasuke?
Sasuke is MC of Gaiden it seems.
I like how you base this on one chapter.
Because Sasuke called about the Akatsuki shiz, its obvious its super important, he isn't coming there just for shits and giggles with Sasuke, Naruto would never leave the village for someone as pointless as Sasuke unless it was important.Sasuke sent naruto a hawk with unknown information and now Naruto is making plans to leave the village personally. I thought he was the hokage and they don't leave the village unless its super important?
