SasNarSas is more than a yaoi ship. It evolved little by little along with the rest of the
characters, and every new event was a lesson that strengthened their bond.
In chapter 698, Sasuke admitted being jealous
of Naruto in the past. It was like a mixture en-
vy and admiration towards Naruto’s perseve-
rance. This was showed during Sasuke’s first
appearance when he got mad with Sakura be-

was his own, and Naruto shared the same fee-

the other that reached the point of appropria-
ting it.

ruto weren’t one sided. In chapter 227, Naruto
remembers wanting to approach Sasuke becau-

ke was perfect at everything he did, Naruto
thought he was different from him.
He thought of himself as a loser, and the way he
saw it, that will result on him being rejected
