I can't stop thinking about Sakura's deep love towards Sasuke recently and how much pain Naruto had to endure watching them both.
Imagine this. Sakura loves Sasuke so much, even after he tried to kill her she was still kind to him. She knew how much sacrifice Naruto made just for her but she still chooses Sasuke over Naruto. She once said "When a girl truly falls in love, her feelings don't change that easily". Now that she actually becomes his wife, Sasuke rarely comes home, like a typical trashy local husbands here, except he went for heavy missions, which is understandable in Naruto's universe. But Sakura being Sakura, she never stops having faith towards her husband, always speaks kind of him and never resented him for not coming home for years. Sakura is so strong I could never relate.
Now Naruto....I don't even know how to begin. He loves Sakura so much, I can't stop thinking about this one episode where he told someone "There's this girl I love, her name is Sakura-chan. But she's totally in love with Sasuke. She tries so hard, chasing after him, trying to win his love. When she's at it, her smile is the cutest thing". I... this episode broke my heart to pieces. Then I remembered watching this one episode where Tsunade healed Sasuke post-fighting with Itachi and then Sakura embraced Sasuke the moment he was awaken. Tsunade witnessed the heartbreaking moment as Naruto watched them.
But also, Sakura knows how much Hinata loves Naruto hence there was a couple of times where Sakura would save Hinata because she knew how much important it is for her to continue living.
So much love I just hope Sasuke is grateful enough to realise the love he doesn't deserve after rejecting Sakura countlessly? Trying to kill her? And all he ever said is sorry for everything instead of making up???????? But then again, he came around, didn't he? Remember, he gripped Sakura's hand by reflex during the time-travelling episode. He saw how kind Sakura is to people in distress when young Sakura had no idea the stranger she was healing was Sasuke from the future. And you know, he never addresses Sakura as "your mother" whenever he speaks to his daughter. It's always "let's go back to Sakura". Not to mention the ring he made using earth style? I guess everything is pretty much compensated at present. Now this leaves to my last lingering question.
Will all the yearning and endurance for a prolonged love be worthwhile for me?
