Sasuke! Sasuke~
✩
(English Translation)
Sasuke: Not yet...?
Naruto: You know... Why don't you go wait over there? Please?
Sasuke: Seriously not yet? Hurry up and finish it quickly...
Naruto grabs Sasuke's face.
Naruto: I'm begging you to please listen to what I'm saying...
Sasuke: if you kiss me now, you won't finish your work.
Naruto: I'm not gonna!

I am so honoured!!! Thank you so much for writing a beautiful, insightful analysis of my story's themes and recommending it.
One of the best and most heartbreaking SNS stories (here) was updated tonight and completed. It offers one consideration of how Konoha was embroiled in a war caused by its own contradictions and still failed to
1) stop training child soldiers
2) acknowledge the Uchiha, most particularly Itachi, and what the village did to them
3) bring the main house of the Hyuuga to accountability for the caged bird seals
4) create a future for its two heroes that did not involve bad hair, bad parenting, flat affect, and loveless straight marriages.
We all know Konoha is built upon contradictions. And we all know that the only way for it to survive those contradictions was to create hypocritical and morally ambiguous defenders of its shinobi (looking at you, Kakashi). Katie Madison in this story shows just how much of a mind-fuck it would actually take for the village to maintain so many of its old ways in the wake of the war.
ino looks like the popular girl that bullied you in middle school but like she’s actually the one that invites you to group hangouts and gives you a ride home if you need one and if people are rude to you she casually drops the fact that her dad works for the fbi and ppl are terrified of her
(Itachi thinking): Next, I'm going to eat sweet apples...

Sasuke, largely, was right about many things towards the end of the manga, but I'm not a Stan who condones everything he did. For example, him asking Sakura to kill Karin in order to join him is not justifiable as 'working through trauma' or whatever you guys say it is. That's not a Sasuke who is acting justly and in line with any morality and I don't like that version of him. Those acts speak to some kind of darkness beyond righteousness. In a better-written manga, that coldness is what Naruto should have helped him resolve so that Sasuke could continue to make the changes he wanted in a just manner. Even if you sympathize with him, you have to admit there was an actual darkness to Sasuke, though perhaps not one as all-encompassing as canon suggests wherein he was apparently wrong about everything. He's not that black and white in my opinion.
reblog and make a wish! this was removed from tumbrl due to “violating one or more of Tumblr’s Community Guidelines”, but since my wish came true the first time, I’m putting it back. :)
