destroy.
Naruto had been the only one from his for-
mer teammates who had presented before
Sasuke with no intention of killing him du-
ring the reunion of Team 7. That was the
way Sasuke reacted in his moments of weak-
ness and to Naruto's words of ‘because you
are my friend!’.
Sasuke hated himself for feeling
things that he believed had closed
out from his heart years ago.
He got stronger in order to eliminate that
weakness he called Naruto, a weakness that
remained even now.
Of course, Sasuke was yet to realize how much
he needed Naruto, but that fact is pretty much
obvious in the manga. Naruto is the one who
have always fanned his fire with wind, the on-
ly one who can strengthen it and preventing it
from dying. And when they work together,
they give the best of themselves, as they have
always done, motivating each other to move
forward. By fighting side-by-side, they are able
to smile together.
Naruto and Sasuke have found on each other a
person who represents all the things we have
been talking about. They can understand each
other perfectly and also know how to bring
happiness to the other. They complement each
other as no one else can do. If you can have
that kind of person and get to have them fore-
ver with you, then you are the luckiest person
in the world.
They are soulmates. Naruto is the wind that
keeps Sasuke’s fire alive. And even Sasuke
himself mentioned how grateful he is for it.
They are light and darkness, yin and yang, sun
and moon. The latter can be taken from what
has been said by Shukaku’s Jinchūriki, Bun-
puku, who had in his palms, the kanji for
"accept" (受, ukeru) and "heart" (心, kokoro)
and by joining them he assured that the un-
derstanding was reached. The location of
these kanjis coincide with the sun and moon
marks Naruto and Sasuke have. When the
Moon receives the light and love of the Sun,
this one will be able to shine, finally escaping
from the circle of hatred where she is trapped.
Just like Naruto did to Sasuke.
By facing Pain, Naruto understood that it was
love what would save Sasuke. If he would
have taken the easy way by killing Sasuke
then he would have repeated the same mista-
ke Hashirama made when he used hatred in
order to kill Madara to save Konoha
Because of all the things we have mentioned
in this article, we believe they are the proof of
the most unconditional and pure love. Their
love can not be minimize it by using words
such as “yaoi” to describe them because on
every opportunity they've had, they had
shown us that they are more than a mere ‘yaoi’
and that they will give everything for each
other. They sacrificed things for each other
and said things to each other that they never
said to any other character. Their bond is so
deep and beautiful that it can't be put into
words, let alone to be able to describe it on its
fullness.
