likely part of the reason why sasuke took on a leadership and protective role of team 7, was cause of how quickly he was forced to grow up, after the massacre he was thrust into being his own parent, own protecter, own leader, it’s only natural he'd take on that role with others

asuke being disarmed by sakura’s hug makes u think about just how much he'd been robbed of affection since the massacre

genin sasusaku will forever have a special place in my heart

sasuke crafting sakura a ring out of his own chakra becomes all more meaningful when you realize it means they can sense and feel each other's souls at all times

reminder that sasuke's only weakness as one of the most fearsome shinobi is his daughter who he calls his peanut, calling him annoying

kishimoto making it canon that sasuke and sakura traveled the world together for a long time, that sakura got pregnant and gave birth to sarada during their journey, all while they looked like this, and then not giving us a single panel of it is just criminal

sasuke’s little blush and smile after sakura calls him out for being jealous will always be so wholesome to me

the fact that sakura was the only one who knew something was wrong with sasuke emotionally, and that he was going to leave the village, while everyone else dismissed her concerns when she tried to get help

everyone talks about blank period sasusaku traveling together, but no one ever mentions the fact that, sasuke stayed in the village 1 year approx after the apology, meaning that him and sakura had all the time to awkwardly flirt, talk, be set up on dates
