Why Dont You Like Sasusaku? Be Honest.

Why dont you like sasusaku? Be honest.

Okay honestly,

Let me put my dislike for Sakura aside because I don’t dislike the ship because it involves her, I dislike the ship for Sasuke’s sake. Though, there is definite evidence that needs to be said about Sakura’s character later on.

1. I’ll start with the fact that Sasuke shares zero romantic interest with anyone ANYONE in the series. He does not want it. He is focused on other things. He has said that he does not want it and I get frustrated when a character speaks their mind within their story and then others still assume they don’t know what they are talking about.

2. In addition Sasuke barely respects her and acknowledges her at all. So the idea of them being shipped together makes no sense to me, because for me there needs to be some sense of logic behind a ship especially one we are to believe as canon. With the type of character Sasuke is, he can’t be with someone for the sake of being with them, he isn’t casual like that. He doesn’t even talk to people he doesn’t want to. Sasuke has a personality where his significant other would be someone near and dear to him. Someone who has made an impact on his life. Now I won’t say that he does not care for her in a small way, he wanted the team to be safe during their time together as Team 7 and looked out for everyone including Sakura, but just because someone takes on responsibility like that it doesn’t mean he wants that pussy.

3. Something else to consider is, Sasuke doesn’t need someone to control him and keep him tied down to a location. He deserves to be where he wishes after all that he has been through. I don’t ever remember him being happy to come “home” to Konoha. So why would he want to be with someone who lives there? Maybe things would make more sense if Sakura (or insert any girl here) were to up and leave Konoha to find another home. But keep in mind that someone like Sasuke who has spend years locked inside his head and alone in solitude does not crave to be surrounded by people and always talking and such. Sasuke shows a lot of signs of depression so nearly any relationship that involves him will have to face off with his depression and isolation scars.

4. Sakura does not respect Sasuke’s feelings, she only respects her own. She never asks him how he feels, or of he likes her, or if he cares about her. She lives in a world that only belongs to her and I personally stem behavior like that from her being an only child. Maybe I’m getting too deep into this but Sakura and Naruto have a very selfish mentality where if a situation does not involve them then they will force their way in and they will project their feelings onto the other person. To be honest, the reason I prefer the idea of Naruto being with Sakura is because they share similar perspectives where they are selfish, childish at times, they yell to get their way and they project their feelings into others, and they bully people into doing what they want them to do with severe lack of respect for the other person. Naruto and Sakura also work really well together, and I saw this proven when they met Sai.

The moment Sakura and Naruto were introduced to Sai opened my eyes wide to the fact that the Naruto I liked pre-shippuden was no longer with us. When Sai came in we saw both Sakura and Naruto reject him, put him down, call him weird and invade his privacy to pry into his life without asking. They often compared him to Sasuke which I think is just do sad because Sai is his own person despite being part of Root, he is still his own being. Regardless, because Sai wasn’t what they both wanted, they rejected him until they were able to get to know him better and so on. This part of the story showed me the type of behavior Sakura and Naruto were capable of and I absolutely loathed it. I remember thinking, ‘this is our hero?’ And I shook my head.

5. Anyway back to Sasuke and Sakura. My point is that from they way I interpreted the manga I feel that Sakura is not the girl for Sasuke and for the main reason being that he said he was not interested. If he said he was not interested in Ino then I wouldn’t ship that, if he said he wasn’t interested in Karin, then I wouldn’t ship that, etc. Sasuke’s personality isn’t a mysterious one where he speaks in riddles and you need to dissect it. He speaks boldly and bluntly, what he says is what he means. He said he was not interested therefore, because I like and respect his character, I believe that he does not want to be with her. So why would I ship that?
