Yeah it's definitely an asspull... but i just wanna say that assuming Sasuke is gonna be an abusive husband is a pretty weak argument. Kishi tried to do too much. I would've been satisfied with a complicated love triangle dynamic with actual development from all sides, but instead he focused too much on the pairing he didn't make canon, to the point where the other pairings barely got any development, basically misleading all of us.
I am not saying that either. When did I ever say that Sasuke was an abusive father? I never did. He is still a dead beat dad when he can't even be with his family and never stops wandering.
I always like this argument though
"Sakura was abusive to Naruto because she hit him all the time," but if Naruto hits his kids that is not abuse? Yeah, right. In the real world, you can't even spank your kids without someone filing a police report.
This is the double standard I am so sick and tired of hearing about and people accept it.
Naruto betrayed everything he stood for, everything he promised his mom, and he betrayed himself and lied to himself all for a best friend who never even back him what so ever. I accepted so much from this story and it couldn't even give me a proper ending out of it. It couldn't even give me a proper heartfelt ending because "we had to be realistic."
When you're in a ninja world when your chakra is more devastating than nuclear weapons....reality has been thrown out the window, but I guess this explain why this ending really IS so unrealistic. In real life, people like Sasuke don't change that quickly, nor do they fall in love with a girl that they originally thought was a annoying. No. That is complete bullsh** even for fairy tale standards.
A challenge to any girl to tell me that being in love with a guy who has attempted to murder you is actually real love in real life. I challenge any girl to say that domestic violence doesn't exist because "Naruto forgives it." And I mean, REAL domestic violence like how people get hurt and actually bleed and bruised.
No, Kishimoto really killed his characters...he betrayed everything he stood for and everyone apparently loves him for it.
This is how true love dies...with thunderous applause and weaksauce excuses.
