I've noticed that many members would prefer SK and for Sarada to be their off spring. Why?
I didn't write this is saw it on tumblr, but it sums up my opinions on Sasusaku perfectly. And for the record Sasukarin is also terrible.
Sasuke and Sakura is a dysfunctional pairing at best. It’s evident from the start that he holds great disdain for Sakura along with the rest of his fan club. By no means am I excusing his shitty behaviour or questionable decisions, but I think a lot of us would be pretty ****ing peeved if our peers were outright stalking us like starved animals. It’s ****ed up, and if you don’t think so, just imagine it was a young girl being hunted down by a pack of obsessed boys. Not so easy to brush aside now, is it?
While their relationship improves somewhat when Team 7 is formed, it’s still nothing more than cordial on his end. She’s his teammate, but that’s it. Whereas when we look at him and Naruto, you see the beginning of their friendship/rivalry begin to form as they grow as ninja. Sakura’s only motivation for getting stronger at this stage is receiving acknowledgement from Sasuke and besting Ino. Placing so much value in Sasuke’s opinion of her is incredibly toxic and speaks volumes of her self-worth. For all intents and purposes, she does not know Sasuke. She knows she likes the look of him. She knows he’s Rookie of the Year. She knows he’s the last of his clan. But she does not know him and does not make the effort to change that. And you know why that is?
Because she’s in love with the idea of who she thinks Sasuke Uchiha is. The idealized image she has stuck permanently in her head.
It’s like us when we have a crush on a celebrity and then meet them in real life. We try to compare the human in front of us to the image we’ve built up in our heads and more often that not, it doesn’t fit or the person in question falls short. As the series goes on, this proves to be the case with Sakura over and over again. She puts him up on a pedestal, never makes a genuine effort to just be his friend, and then acts shocked when her declaration of love does nothing to stop him from leaving. Considering that he has belittled her on numerous occasions, made his lack of interest clear and she still pursues her affections, it shows just how out of touch with reality she really is.
And honestly, Sasuke is not emotionally fit for any kind of romantic relationship. No matter what’s happening in gaiden at the moment, he is still suffering from everything that’s happened since the massacre. He hasn’t been given time to recover or deal with anything that’s happened, and it’s incredibly frustrating. I want him to have closure and heal, but instead Kishi resorted to a time skip and we ended up with a Desperate Housewives’ parody which none of us asked for. So no, I don’t ship Sasuke/Sakura.
What I do ship is Sasuke/Closure.
