Naruto and Sasuke shouldve just been a gay couple
To all the naysayers goin on about how I must have never had deep friendships before. Ughhhhh i I have and my deep friendships were nowhere near as romance laden as theirs. They literally pine over eachother especially on naruto's end. It was basically the whole love at first sight with them. Its literally like every other shonen where the MC meets that one girl the first time and is instantly obsessed and she's the romantic lead even before they ever actually got to know eachother. Naruto obsessively tries to get sasuke to come back for almost 5 years.. They were eachothers first kiss. There's a whole scene in the land snow where naruto is just laying in the floor on his stomach like a love sick teenage girl in a abc family show wondering if Sasuke is thinking about him amd what hes doing.
Nothing about their relationship is "brotherly". Their entire friendship is nothing more than a bunch of romantic tropes. Their relationship is the best written besides shikamaru and temari. I dont know any close friends or brothers who act like naruto and sasuke do. I mean shit naruto was like I'm gonna kill sasuke and then commit suicide. Sasuke pretty much says that naruto was his only "real friend".
