you know, the fact that she called Sasuke a "baka" at the end was all the indication anybody needed to know that NaruSaku was the end game. In my opinion, it was clear that she was originally supposed to say that to Naruto, most likely after he said something that only Naruto would say. But they just transferred it over to her saying it to Sasuke to fit that SasuSaku kitten. Just like it was clear that Boruto(unfortunately) was supposed to be a NaruSaku kid while Sarada was a SasuKarin kid.
That's basically what they did at the end of the series - stole character dynamics from NaruSaku/NaruSasu and gave them to SasuSaku/NaruHina.
Not to mention, from the brief moments i've seen stuff related to Boruto - they portray now SasuSaku as some sort of MinaKushi and Hinata is the Sakura 2.0 because why should we like Sakura's essence?
That's bad as long as it's Sakura, put it's perfectly okay if it's Hinata.
It wouldn't be creepy at all to just change your behavior after you've married the man of your dreams, right? Wouldn't scream fakeness or anything like that, neeeeah. /dropping sarcasm
That is something that upsets me. She NEVER used "baka" endearingly with Sasuke and he never gave her a reason to do so. Sasuke has always been the cool mature one so what does Sakura even have need to call him "baka" for? That is what is so insulting to me. That they take Naruto and Sakura's dynamic, split it, and force it on to these crack pairings in the most cringing, half-@$$ed lazy way possible. Apparently, there is no explanation needed for these horriblly excused marriages despite Sasuke spending the entire damn series indifferent to Sakura's feelings and Naruto went through the entire series with his heart set on Sakura even after Hinata confessed to him, regardless of whether he understood what she meant.
Exactly. With SS is the excuse that ooh, he's gone to look for the big bad evil... IT DOESN'T MATTER! He has a choice in doing so.
The same way he chooses to contact Naruto, the same way he could choose to contact his family. Or okay, you're not contacting your family, but you could AT LEAST send a message through Naruto, right?
Instead no, we got Sakura for 12 years raising a baby alone, emotionally exhausted and whatnot.
On the other side of things, Naruto doesn't want to spend time with his family, BUT he does it so for the village.
Is funny because in essence, both Naruto and Sasuke are keeping distant from their families, DESPITE wanting one for so long so that their loneliness would be filled.
Pretty damn ironic.
