Sasuke has no drive down there. Nothing. Nada. He's as asexual as a single celled organism.

He's assexual but wanted to revive his clan...

Lol. It seems that he's like that, but the guy can always see love when he's not in this mode that he's in now. Basically, like when he was in part 1.

Not saying that he liked someone or something, but that he was more on a normal level of living life and thought, besides the issue with his brother cause this is dealt with.

Still somewhat unrelated to love and is still undeserving of love at this point. He has done nothing in the right mind for anyone to consider him a love interest. As much as many people think sakura would just run back to sasuke even if he showed emotion towards her is sad. What's done is done and it can't be taken back. Sakura has matured now and she knows this. She won't volunteer as some possession to help him revive his clan. That's all I know.

more honor based  . ya know?

That makes me think of what Hashirama said, that for the Uchiha love is more precious than anything. If that was the case with Sasuke, his love for a girl should've been more obvious. Not in terms of the plot, but in terms of logic. He couldn't have locked it away because his love for Itachi was obvious from a mile away. Then again his brotherly love is very crucial for the plot, and what will save Sasuke from the darkness is a brotherly love. A romantic love may greet him again when he's good again, Karin could say "Don't come back until you're finished with your issues :hm:"

 

I've only noticed small hints that we can guess or assume whether or not he can love someone romantically. One hint that he can have feelings for Karin(when he awakened a new power for her), maybe Kishi doesn't think that sub-plot is very important. D:

 

Romance will ruin Sasuke's character imo, but I wouldn't mind if he got with Karin off-screen. I think an open ending for them would be best.

He can rape then or clone himself.

i have to say this but to put SK on the same level as narusaku is kinda downplaying narusaku. Naruto and Sakura have one of the strongest bonds in the whole manga, he wouldn't dare hurt sakura unless (you could argue) it was only to protect her. whereas the bond between sasuke and karin is quite unhealthy and obsessive. I think sasuke did respect karin to a certain extent

 

Hey, aren't you getting a little ahead of yourself in that statement? Just because someone find similarities in things doesn't mean they're concluding them to be on the same level.

 

I even posted in another place that if SK where to happen it would most likely just be implied in some epilogue, and that's if Kishi does feel like doing it which I even have my doubts of.

 

Does what I say seriously sounds like I'm putting it on the same level as NaruSaku development? SK it's not even close. I just like how it can be related to NS in the perspective regarding the parallel journey of Naruto and Sasuke. Just because it relates in some aspects doesn't mean it's considered the same.

 

I know it's not on purpose but I really don't like people jumping to conclusions about how others see things. It leads to a wrongful misjudgment and false accusations.

 

the whole 'i need you' line was also followed by 'fine, I'll find someone else' so i don't think you can really depict that as sasuke really needing her. Besides sasuke has always had a superior complex, he thinks everyone who isn't an uchiha is below him and that includes karin. In actual fact, naruto is the only one who he could see as his true equal and rival. 

 

let me ask you guys something: if karin didn't have her sensory ability would you still think she was any value to sasuke? my answer would be no, whereas a least with hinata naruto does genuinely care for her as a nakama.

 

Right now Sasuke seems rather focus on what he wants, but I'll have you remember that during the Killer Bee fight he unlocked the power of Amaterasu because he had come to care deeply about Team Taka. And when Karin was caught by those black flames Sasuke was distraught enough about loosing her that he unlocked the ability to control said black flames (it's what he now refers to as Enton), which is something that even Itachi wasn't able to (C commented about it in the Summit arc).

 

His care for Team Taka in the Killer Bee fight shows that he made a bond with them that can be fortified even more when Sasuke finally calms down. Sasuke disregarding Team Taka in the Summit arc actually emphasizes how much he kept falling in the darkness, which hit it's climax point the moment he decided to stab Karin.

 

Trying to compare how much Naruto and Sasuke care about people right now it's a little unfair considering that the point of Sasuke's plot right now is to show how he only cares about his desires and is ignoring everyone else. Are you gonna say that Sasuke right now deeply cares for the happiness of Team 7? Of course not. But you surely think he's gonna do so as the story concludes, right? The same concept is easily applied to Team Taka.

 

i also wouldn't underestimate the bond between team 7, and that includes (sasuke and sakura relationship) kishi has highlighted several times that sasuke cared for her, of course not in a romantic light but care nonetheless.  

 

You're talking as if when Sasuke finally becomes good that he has to choose who he needs to be friends with Team 7 or Team Taka. That's just plain ridiculous. They are all his bonds. Team 7 will obviously be more emphasized since they drive this story, but that doesn't diminish his connection to Team Taka either.

 

I was literally just thinking about this. I've seen people compare the two (not here - elsewhere) and it really bugs me because they're not the same, or all that similar.

 

NS and SK are only similar to the extent that you can connect them to the parallel journeys of Naruto and Sasuke. They are both the healers of their teams and are shown plenty of times taking care for their respective guy when their overexert themselves in battle. They have also seen first hand the growth that each guy underwent and were it had slowly taken them, Sakura saw Naruto's hero journey in the light and Karin saw Sasuke's anti-hero journey in the darkness.

 

But when it comes to development and interaction NS and SK are completely different, with NS having the proper development of a growing relationship and SK only having some small teases in regards to their relationship but nothing elaborate that can even come close the NS, most definitely not.

Really? I thought he was going to use Edo Tensei to revive the clan...

[Heaven on Earth]

Similar in some condition doesnt mean SK and NS are on the same level. Nobody said SK n NS are on the same level. Of course Sasuke didnt have much development with Karin because, well, this manga is 'Naruto', not 'Sasuke'. If this manga focus on Sasuke's journey of ninja life, there would be more Sasuke and Karin panel. I agree with one of the comment that Sasuke might be not ends up with someone, but if MK wants to pair him with someone, the possibility goes to Karin. Come on, this Uzumaki girl isnt that bad. She loves Sasuke no matter how bad Sasuke. She saw the good and the bad side of Sasuke. Even when he tried to kill her, all she could think was ... his smile at the past.
Well, just want to say for all, theres some NS fans here that loves SK also even its just slight fave pair. Please dont degrade too much because we knew already the positive and negative point of this pair. Even when the hater said theres no mutual hint (only one sided), we have our called mutual interaction from Sasuke to Karin.

By the way, back to topic, any spoiler? I saw a spoiler panel for next chap from Facebook with Japanese text? Anybody know about that?

I've never thought about that, but they can't make offsprings, so I'm not too sure.

 

Edit; Actually there has been theories that Sasuke will get the Rinnegan, so hm. But I'm not sure if Sasuke still wants to revive his clan, it looks to me that he now just wants to prevent this from happening again.

 oh yeah and he's gonna use karin, sakura, hinata and ino as sacrifices  

[TouKen4Life3g]

Not sure who said it but equaling SK and NS is not what I was thinking at all. All I'm saying is that SK has some edge than SS, which begs the question what is Kishi's intention in here. Again, she's not blurting out that she loves him, which is different with Sakura since she was extremely obvious with Sasuke. Then again, she pretty much wasn't hiding it. It's a long story, but I'll just say why.

neither am i trying to imply that team taka meant nothing to him, what i'm suggesting is that sasuke really never deeply cared anyone except for his family, possibly naruto and sakura. He did unlock that power to save karin but from my interpretation there was more emphasis on his thought of team 7 (there was a panel just before of them) karin was the reason but team 7 were kinda the key to unlock the amaterasu.

no i wasn't trying to draw up a comparison between how sasuke and naruto care about people, i'm stating the without karin having sensory abilities she wouldn't be of little value to sasuke.

 

bolded: It may be the way you phrase it but it seems you're implying that the bond torn between team 7 are comparative to the ones of team taka. They're not, i've always seen the team 7 bond far more important than any other in the manga.

   also as it stand team taka was never broken, karin seem to be fine with sasuke, suigetsu and jugo are following sasuke too.

 

 

You're talking as if when Sasuke finally becomes good that he has to choose who he needs to be friends with Team 7 or Team Taka. That's just plain ridiculous. They are all his bonds. Team 7 will obviously be more emphasized since they drive this story, but that doesn't diminish his connection to Team Taka either.

 

 

i don't know where you're coming from, i was just making a general reply to some other comments about how sasuke never cared about sakura, which i disagree with. i wasn't even referring team taka at this point- or how he would have to choose or whatever you're trying to say. 

[Zatheko]

 first of all i wasn't address anyone specifically- just the general notion that SK and narusaku are not really similar at all, which i have seen going around time to time. i wasn't accusing anyone of anything  

 

 

As redragon said they can be similar in the aspect that both girls have watched their journey.

 

Karin watched Sasuke's journey to darkness while Sakura watched Naruto's journey to greatness, one negative and one positive but still each one watched the journey they went through. (credits to redragon, this was all his/her words)

 

Karin was also the only one who has had Sasuke show a large amount of concern for and even awakened a new ability with his amaterasu to save her. To me that kinda relates to when Naruto summoned Gamabunta on his own to save Sakura when her life was threatened by Gaara.

[catsi563]

Ive never said it, I only ever said they run along parallel lines up to and including that both men in the relationship through a tunnel vision effect hurt the women in the pairing. Also both unlocked greater power and potential  because of the woman in the paring being in danger.

 

Red dragon covered most of my points well enough.

 

Simply put Karins importance may have slowed down but she retains a future importance as part of Sasukes redemption.

 

Which, I still hold comes in the form of him rebuilding his bonds to both teams.

 

The fact is that he built a bond with team taka, during the hunt for the 8 tails arc, This was show in canon as Sasuke embracing for the first time ever the creed of the series. Gain greater strength by protecting someone precious to you. IE Karin and by proxy Jugo and Suigetsu.

This is one topic I don't want to be part of anymore, but before that what I would really appreciate if we can avoid separating our bias from our opinion of SS and SK.

 

SasuSaku and SasuKarin are completely the same the only difference is that there isn't a Naruto in SK, the team 7 dynamic got a lot more focus and Sakura is more cautious.

 

Apart from that in my opinion the two pairing are the same and when someone choose to be critical about one of the pairing they need to be rational about the other pairing too.

 

Nothing bugs me more than, Sakura lying to Naruto, biggest crime in Manga history even if it was for Naruto best interest, she lie to him so she is an evil who needs to die.

 

Sasuke try to kill Sakura 4 times, twice at Orochimaru's lair and twice at Summit, its nothing is just a bump on the road.

 

I guest some get what I mean.

 

 

Now Peace out.
