Frivolous sketch 😅 Just for fun :) Second daughter of Sasuke and Sakura (if you imagine her in Boruto)
She's not a villain, just defends Konoha in her own way
The absolute flavor of punk boy x weirdgirl ships........The inherently nonconformist nature of punk culture showing through the boy being down horrendous for the girl BECAUSE she's a misfit like him and not inspite of it................The lack of relathionship sabotage and sexist gender roling that's 'normal' in most m/f ships....................The pick me tears that flow in fandom every time they're even hinted at.................t4t autistic4autistic-coded and opposite yet complimentary aesthetics serve......................
Capa para a fanfic “Clichês” (que não tá nada clichê -qq) escrito por Srta_Mawariik para a seção de Naruto, fanfic com foco em SasuSaku, personagens do anime Naruto, Naruto Shippuden e Boruto: Next Generations.

Day 25 finished sasuke and I love it. I've come a long way in only a month and you'll see that in tomorrow's video!! #sasuke #sasukeuchiha #naruto #narutoshippuden #digitalart #anime #sasusaku
(Sakura sees Sarada upset one day.)
Sakura: Sarada, what's wrong?
Sarada: Chouchou and I had a stupid fight... Now, I don't even know if we're still friends...
Sakura: That's fine, you don't need female friends anyways. They're really dramatic! In fact, I broke off my friendship with my first ever friend, Ino, even though she was the only person who had ever been nice to me after years of bullying. She just wasn't worth it after I assumed that she had a crush on the boy that I liked, your father.
Sarada: 👀 Mom, what the fu-
Sakura: And later, when she saved me during the Forest of Death stage of our chuunin exams, deliberately lost our match in our preliminary fighting round, and told me that I had blossomed into a beautiful flower, I never thanked her or apologized to her because I have always known what was important to me - your father's love.
Sarada: 👀
Orochimaru, sipping tea in the Uchiha house because he apparently gets invited to everyone's houses for tea now despite being a canonical child torturer: 👀
Sarada: Mom, I'm going out tonight; I've got to go tell Chouchou that I LOVE her.
You guys are super weird. I LOVE sasunaru and always will. I'll still look at the art and read the fics. Sasusaku happened though and so did Naruhina! I'm so happy for the boys and I'm so proud of them! This has been such a huge part of my life and I can't help but be overjoyed at the fact that my boys are happy! I NEVER liked Sakura but I will admit she grew, I will appreciate her character growth, and I will be happy with the fact that she makes sasuke happy. I like hinata and naruto together and have no complaints. I adore all of their children! I would love them all to be friends. Us as the fandom do not get to choose the end. We do get to support each other in our love for the series as a whole. So my ship sunk? Big deal. I'll always pair them in my heart. So your ship sailed? Great for you! I'm so happy for you! But please don't bash me just because I still love sasunaru.
“I swear to - are you checking your cats again?”
“…”
“Sasuke, I can see the reflection in your glasses. Go back to sleep.”
I am just sharing this information here but I am a HUGE believer of Poly!Team 7, they are all in love so if someday you see me drop a fic about them don’t act surprised. This is me telling you, it’s gonna happen. Not now, but someday (I need a full rewatch and re-read of Naruto before I even consider doing it)
I’m here to spread my wlw SasuSaku agenda >:) Take these quick lil doodles! (closeups and yapping under the cut)
I don’t even ship regular SasuSaku that much, but toxic wlw SasuSaku? Absolutely.
Like, imagine they had the same homosexual tension that Sasuke has with Naruto. As an example, the second image there is my own take on that one shippuden scene where they see Sasuke again for the first time and he and Naruto have a *moment* but what if it was sakura getting her highly homoerotic moment?
Like I’m thinking from the start the dynamic is COMPLETELY different. Sakura would be socialized to see Sasuke (the most conventionally attractive according to canon) as competition, but then she’d see the darkness in her and get the urge to take care of her like a lost kitten and UGHHHH
And Sasuke would be locked in with revenge she would just see Sakura as an immature annoyance. She doesn’t engage with the “rivalry” she fully believes she’s better. But she’s also secretly insanely jealous because Sakura is everything that was taken from Sasuke (bright, innocent, like a spring breeze, has friends and parents…) so she tries to fully ignore her. Like, will NOT acknowledge her existence. And Sakura whenever she tries to extend the olive branch will get lethal cold shoulder, so she just stops trying and gets even pettier.
All the while they’re developing feelings for each other. Sakura wonders why it hurst so much to see her #1 op walking into the the abandoned compound alone.. Sasuke wonders why her heart squeezes when Sakura laughs, she thinks it must be due to hatred but no bb girl you’re just gay.
(Cue loathing from Wicked)
When they get put on a team together Sasuke can’t avoid Sakura anymore so she switches it up and becomes bratty. LOVES getting a rise out of her (totally not because she finds it cute when she gets all red up and her cheeks puff up nonono) and Sakura takes the bait EVERY. TIME.
Sakura struggles to get along with Sasuke the whole time. Sasuke constantly teases her about being a “deadweight” paper ninja (never calls her weak tho) and it really gets to Sakura. They used to be evenly matched at the academy (in terms of academics) but now she’s suddenly so far behind. She sees Sasuke kicking ass and she burns. To her, Sasuke is everything she is not, and can never be.
But like every time plot would happen they’d always have each other’s backs. They both trust each other and rely on each other and they know so so much about one another from CONSTANTLY watching each other (Sakura seeing Sasuke as her goal, Sasuke seeing Sakura as the ghost of what could have been :( )
They eventually do become friends. Sakura still wants save Sasuke from herself and Sasuke almost wants to let her.
And when Sasuke leaves Sakura is DEVESTATED. Sees it as a personal failing that she wasn’t strong enough to get her back. (Cue training montage)
And in shippuden Sasuke would still tease Sakura and they would fall back into their banter and UGHH
They are NOT good together and it IS a disaster but that’s what makes it so fun <3
I love SakuIno as well, but they already resolved their issues. I need girlfriends that TRY TO KILL EACHOTHER in a gay way <33
I just think they want to tear each other apart <3
Sorry for yapping but DO YOU SEE THE VISION????
Anyway if anyone read all of that I love you <<333
Okay thanks for witnessing my mental illness byee~~~
Everyone gather! It’s-
Nart Art Dump Time!
Enjoy :) (image explanation under the cut)
I’m back on my BS again so I have a backlog of fandom art from the past couple of months teehee :)
Naruto was my first hyper fixation media and now 10 years later I’m back on that grind baybee~
Anyways, for those who care here’s an explanation for the pictures, since most are hyper specific lmao:
Image 1: random Sakura doodles. Includes toxic yuri SasuSaku and my interpretation of Sakura’s chuunin exam outfit in the fic Pulling My Weight on AO3 (I’m pretty sure it’s by itschoccopuff)
Image 2: fem Sasuke again because I have the disease (lesbianism)
Image 3: OCs for a Naruto themed TTRPG mainly set during Minato’s Hokagedom I play with my brothers. Our party is so dumb I love them. From left to right we got Arashi Uzumaki, his twin Ichigo Uzumaki, and Shisui’s older sister Kiri Uchiha, then on the bottom we got Kakashi (I drew him first so he looks incredibly rough woops)
Image 4: Sasuke in ANBU as Hawk (yes this is a reference to Dreaming of Sunshine by Silver Queen on FF.net)
Image 5: More DoS fanart teehee. I just wanted to draw how I imagined the lucky 7 in the later chapters
Okay now I go disappear again for 6 more months byeee~~
Anyone has got any SasuSaku fic recommendations that aren't Quietus, Blind, Ripples or home is where the heart is? I like the ones with a good plot and that have angst, character development, relationship building and such. Thanks! ♡
My Feels
Tumblr put me through hell resizing these but worth it!!
Because Kishi cleaned up the series so well....
(Well Done!!)
Because (despite all the salt in the tags) the fanarts, the spoilers, the interviews - ALL OF IT- are too much...
Sorry for the disappointed fans :/ but I'm lovin it!!

uzumakiess: Actually since nh/ss fans started fuss over popularity which was their biggest mistake because of the lack of information. I’m actually pretty surprised to see that popularity actually bothers you and I’m here to prove you are..well wrong. In many countries, mainly Japan they don’t use pairing…
(Sorry I wanted to post this separately too so it didn’t get lost as just a reblog because this really bothers my inner nerd.)
Time out guys. No disrespect to the OP or anyone, but this technique is really stupid(I’m sorry, it is).
I don’t care about pairing popularity. I ship what I like and that’s it, HOWEVER, Searching “Naruto and Sakura” or “Naruto and Sasuke” or “Naruto x Hinata” does ZERO to prove the popularity of a pairing , as ⚡️way more than 75% of the results ⭐️will not⭐️ be pairing related⚡️.(Especially considering a large portion of the fandom is not into pairings! )
Like really guys… I’m not saying this in a, “pairing wars” way but in a, “I used to work as an online researcher” way . Naruto is not just a character in a manga , Naruto IS a manga. Naruto is a tv show. Naruto is a movie series. Naruto is a food…Etc etc… When you are searching these terms that means you are combing the web for all pages that combine these terms.
That can mean, Sasuke vs Naruto discussions or Hinata as a character on Naruto. Hell! It can mean some boy named Hinata who posts about Naruto. When you search Naruto x Sakura or any pairing, you are not only searching that couple, your results include every anti pairing post, every Sakura character blog, or discussion. They include every result of Sakura as a character on Naruto.
Plugging in names in Google, even with an “X” between them, is so convoluted in proving anything , it’s a waste. So I’ll end this here: however you guys want to prove pairing popularity, find an accurate way of doing it , cause this ain’t it.

A scene for Chapter 3 of my naruto fanfic (still a WIP)
if you wanna read 1 & 2 though, here
Originally this was meant as a full body ref for what Shinachiku looks like in chapter 2 after the timeskip but then it turned into me wanting to turn this into a fake screenshot sorta thing for the Chunin Exams (since Shina ended up taking Mitsuki's place in it) in my rewrite of the Chunin Exams arc/Boruto movie sorta-
Different types of Naruto 😍😍😙😙
Man I could care less about Sasuke, but this?! Y'all are too damn fast 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
ok in my opinion, many things are wrong with the idea that sakura viewed sasuke only as a prize to be won to boost her self-worth; that when it comes to sasuke, she's forever frozen in time as a 12-year-old girl who can't see beyond his good hair and great grades. this post is my attempt at thoroughly unpacking and refuting that notion
when we meet sakura in part 1, she is obsessed with societal standards and her admiration for sasuke is almost entirely rooted in that. he's the ideal future husband -- from an ancient clan, stoic, intelligent, skilled, and by sakura's own description, "cool" -- these are things that she has been conditioned to want! so this is the sasuke that she envisions, until...
until they get put on a team together, and sakura gradually comes to realize that perhaps sasuke is not what she's made him out to be in her mind. he talks about crying, about being afraid. he's paralyzed with fear in their first mission. naruto may very well be stronger and more capable than him! oh, and sasuke gets into silly fights with naruto all the time. none of that is "cool." suddenly he seems less like the ideal future husband and more like a real person with flaws and baggage of his own.
that sakura's view of sasuke changes is so apparent through how radically her behaviour around him shifts between the early formation of team 7 and the chunin exams (and any point after). sakura goes from being unable to listen to a bad word about sasuke (maybe even the ones that are deserved) to defying him when she deems fit. she even praises naruto at his expense, because societal views are not at the forefront of her mind when it comes to the two boys anymore -- they're just naruto and sasuke. they're her friends! she goes from calling kakashi out for bad-mouthing the uchiha clan because she's doesn't want to risk sasuke getting mad at her, to calling naruto out for a similar statement, not due to personal involvement in the equation, but simply because it's not right.
and people typically agree with me up to here. it's when we get to sakura cutting her hair in the forest of death that opinions diverge, and some people tend to think that sakura should have "gotten over" sasuke to propel her character development forward. i don't necessarily find this reading invalid -- it's certainly a more straightforward direction for her character to take. sakura's goal was sasuke, now sakura's goal is to be strong. the problem is that there was always more nuance to her goal of winning sasuke's heart than people afford it in fandom discussion, and similarly, i don't think that the progression needed to be as clear-cut as "sakura gets over sasuke" to still be meaningful. in this case, i feel like people's expectations about what should have happened following this scene might preclude them from seeing the growth that this moment did produce.
sakura cutting her hair in the forest of death is the critical point her arc built up to for all of part 1. sakura is insulted by the sound nin for pouring so much time into her appearance when her training is clearly not up to par, and she cuts her shiny and perfect hair in a declaration that she will no longer derive her self-worth from the validation that would come from romantic attachment (to sasuke, or anyone else). instead, it will be from standing shoulder-to-shoulder with (or even ahead of) her teammates in battle -- so that she can protect them rather than the other way around. then the flashbacks during her fight with ino make it explicit that sakura has wanted to become a skilled shinobi -- one who could match up to ino -- all along, but since that is not a socially acceptable goal from a girl, she instead declares them rivals over sasuke's heart. the boy is not important here (haha, it always sticks out to me that when she asks him out before the chunin exams, sakura is more bummed about sasuke's assessment of her skills than his rejection). she doesn't even think of sasuke while fighting ino, lol -- she grandstands about how only she can "get him," but that's for the purpose of riling up ino, so that there's no chance she'll go easy on sakura. sakura wants to know, definitively, that she can match up to ino. and she does.
in light of all of this, people often say sakura had "no reason" to like sasuke -- after all, i did spend the entire last paragraph establishing that sakura's pre-series crush on sasuke was an immature infatuation that had nothing to do with sasuke and everything to do with ino. but, again, team 7 spent months together on a team and sasuke and sakura became actual friends! he was a good teammate to both naruto and sakura, if a little rough around the edges. i don't think it's implausible for sakura to develop real feelings for sasuke during this time. and if that is not enough, if you need deeper, thematically fulfilling reasons -- well, i sort of object to that on principle. i think friendship, having fun with one another, being at ease around each other -- these are all perfectly good reasons to fall in love with someone. and you may say that naruto also fulfills this criteria, but if sakura was physically attracted to sasuke and not naruto -- well, i think that's fine too, and it certainly doesn't warrant any moral judgment. people say often that sakura should have ended up with lee or naruto -- the first of whom stated outright that he loved her because she was beautiful, and the latter who introduced her as a "pretty girl" -- but whether their feelings are shallow is not endlessly dissected. (it's not narusaku or leesaku i protest to here, just the double standard)
but for the record, i think kishimoto did write in enough for us to understand why sakura would fall for sasuke in particular. i discussed this in another post, but alongside ino, sasuke sparked the most significant character growth for sakura. he was the first to make her reevaluate her treatment of naruto (and by extension, her rose-tinted view of the world), he was the first (and only) of their teammates to express disappointment that she wasn't investing in her own skills, he figured out when she felt insecure and reminded her of the areas in which she was more proficient than the rest of the team. sakura's initial idealized view of sasuke does not endure for a number of reasons, one of which is that the real sasuke actually expects her to hold her own and sees potential in her. for sakura, whose main motivation as a character is to become stronger for her teammates, this must mean a great deal! we mostly lose track of this element of sasuke and sakura's dynamic in part 2, which is a shame, but when she cracks open the earth with only her fist, naruto and kakashi are utterly astonished, while sasuke just smiles -- like it is no surprise, like she's been capable of it all along -- so there is that, i guess.
(and for more on thematically fulfilling, see this post on what i think could have played out if sakura were not relegated to a side character in all but panel presence in part 2. but really, i find it so interesting that sasuke and sakura both repeatedly have a lot of trouble suppressing their compassion to do what is expected of them as shinobi. apart from sasuke, i think sakura is also the only character to express that human life has inherent value -- at least, she says something along those lines when she fights sasori.)
anyway, post-forest of death, sasuke version 1 has pretty much dissipated in sakura's mind -- the only place he ever existed -- and sakura's treatment of sasuke changes further. she stops intruding on his physical boundaries, stops flirting, stops asking him out -- she's there for him, but as a friend first. she hugs him in the hospital, but that's not necessarily a romantic gesture (she's physically affectionate by nature, which is why she ambushes naruto with a hug in the same manner at the end of the pain arc) and sasuke finds it comforting (signalled by many things, chief among which is that naruto leaves the room after observing sasuke's face). and yes, she confesses to being in love with him twice afterwards, years apart, but that is only because she is extremely stressed and panicked and wants him to stay for his own (and the second time around, add in naruto's) safety. her first confession is too centered on her own feelings, while the second is just woefully oblivious (through little fault of sakura's -- she doesn't know why sasuke is so intent on destroying the shinobi world), but neither of them come with the condition of sakura wanting sasuke to stay only so he can be with her. sakura wants sasuke to be safe! she wants him to be mentally sound! she lets him know that she cares about him!
i absolutely need to reiterate: at no point in part 2 does sakura display any sense of entitlement to sasuke. she always pleads with him to stay, rather than demanding anything of him. and even in the privacy of her own thoughts, sakura ponders bringing sasuke back in a few contexts: she wants sasuke to be okay, she is so sorry for burdening naruto, she needs to help naruto, and if sasuke comes back, they can all be a team again. romance does not even enter her mind. it is such a willfully egregious misread of the text to say that she only wanted sasuke back so they could be together.
moreover, it is honestly just nonsensical to me when people say sakura wanted sasuke as a prize, because it laughs in the face of her entire character arc and completely ignores why her pre-series crush existed at all. back then, sakura wanted sasuke as a status symbol. as of part 2, though, he is decidedly not what konoha's society would see as the ideal man. in the eyes of the state, he is a wanted criminal. sakura, meanwhile, is a student of the hokage, one of the most skilled medics in konoha at the ripe age of 16, and one of the most powerful shinobi of her generation (a feat achieved entirely through her own labour). she has stood next to her teammates in battle and helped take down a literal god. she does not need sasuke to feel fulfilled. nevertheless, she chooses, every day, to care about him, even though it would be infinitely easier not to. and if sakura wanted to haul around a status symbol in the form of a boyfriend, if only to bolster her already impressive profile (which she would not. that's the point!) -- naruto, konoha's new favourite traumatized teenager, is like. right there. but sakura loved naruto before he was proclaimed a hero by konoha, just like she continues to love sasuke even though he is very far from the coolest boy in their class.
my feelings on chapter 699 are... mixed, because the way things resolve for sasuke is just so sad, but what we see play out between him and sakura is: 1. sakura asks to come with him 2. sasuke is 100% comfortable saying no (how do the "sakura forced sasuke to be with her" truthers reconcile with that one, lol) 3. sakura appears mildly disappointed but like. she'll survive. that's it. then he thanks her, taps her on the forehead (but promises he'll see her soon, in an inversion of what that gesture meant from itachi), and we leave them in a pretty hopeful place, all things considered. there's room for reconciliation, for growth, for love. (and i don't want to hear about post-699 because i don't care. i don't consider it canon, and pretty much no one on tumblr does either, except to occasionally shit on ships they don't like)
this ended up being way too long, but i want to say: if you don't like sasusaku, that's your prerogative. i'm not here to change your mind. i certainly think they should have been written better in part 2 (but i'd argue that, like, 99% of those issues are just a natural consequence of sakura being continually sidelined by the narrative, rather than problems inherent to the relationship itself). regardless, i think too often people let their opinion of a ship impede character analysis. to claim that sakura relentlessly propositioned sasuke and that she saw him as a prize does such a huge disservice to how much she has grown and what she has accomplished over the course of the series.
