Add your commentNaruto spent 700 chapters simping for a man who tried to murder him three separate times. That's not friendship, that's a restraining order ignored.
The amount of times Sasuke said 'this is the last time' and then attacked again is comedy gold in hindsight.
Imagine your best friend choke-slamming the entire ninja alliance and you go 'he's just going through some stuff.' Naruto, blink twice.
Sakura deserved better than both of them, let's be honest while we're settling scores.
Itachi was the only good Uchiha and the whole clan tragedy makes Sasuke sympathetic. Context matters before you cancel him.
The valley of the end fight is the best fight in shonen and it's specifically GOOD because of all that toxic loyalty. The pain is the point.
Naruto's arc is literally about not giving up on people the village threw away. Giving up on Sasuke would've betrayed his entire character.
Sasuke's redemption is earned and beautiful and you all just have commitment issues. Naruto saw the kid under the trauma.
Sasuke got everything handed to him and a wife and a town pardon after war crimes. Meanwhile Naruto's actual loyal friends got nothing.
Boruto exists purely to remind us Sasuke became a deadbeat absentee mentor. Naruto really fought a war for THIS guy.
'He's my friend' is the most powerful line in the whole show and you're all too cool to admit it made you cry.
Best friendship in anime or biggest red flag in anime, there is no in between in this thread.
