OMG I JUST NOTICED. During the Diver opening (the best Shippūden opening btw) when Naruto and Sasuke were recreating the upside down spider man kiss under water, SASUKE WAS GONNA CHIDORI NARUTO UNDER WATER. THAT SO RUDE WTF MAN
This is an old throwback to that one frame during their first final valley fight. The one the animators kept redrawing for some reason.
Anyway looking at Naruto’s expression, I can tell that all those years/episodes of putting his life/goals at the time on hold and most importantly the potential world building, plot, konoha 12 and almost everything part 1/classic Naruto set up hostage JUST so Naruto can chase his man was worth ALL the pain and hardships - that him and the viewers both endured over 15 years.
Despite some “opinions” that perhaps obsessing and chasing a guy who publicly was too proud to admit he was Naruto’s friend, may not had been worth the countless tears and blood shed, Naruto doesn’t give a fuck and clearly feels so giddy and euphoric - because at the end of the day, he mostly got what he wanted and that’s Sasuke with him.
Naruto’s new official art?!?!?
WOAH
Shippūden Naruto is literally holding the plot hostage because all he wants is to hang out with Sasuke on the weekends. A guy who wouldn’t even hang out with him outside of missions.
BECAUSE LITERALLY WHAT DOES BRINGING SASUKE BACK TO THE LEAF VILLAGE ACCOMPLISH?
He’s not even like “Sasuke come back we have to finish the Chunin exams properly or else I can’t become Hokage”. He just misses his man 🧍♂️
Naruto hasn’t given up on Sasuke but I certainly have.
He covered everyone else’s face but Sasuke’s. This guy I SWEAR.
He’s not handling his absence well smh
