Why I like SasoSaku, but I hate SasuSaku?

This is another note that I published some time ago in my Tumblr. I have a while without posting a journal and I didn't know what to post, so, I'm sharing my rant here too.

"“You say you hate SasuSaku becuz he tried to kill her, but you like SasoSaku when he tried to kill her too, you are a f*cking hypocryte!!!11oneoneone”

My aswer to this crap:

Why I see with different eyes SasoSaku and SasuSaku?

1-There’s clearly a difference between a fight where both opponents RESPECT each other’s abilities (and fight hand to hand in a duel), and a COWARD attempt of murder FROM THE BACK and even worse… giving to understand to your opponent that you’re his ally just for not giving him the right to defend himself or even react to your attacks.

2-They didn’t know each other before the fight. Sasori and Sakura didn’t have any previous story (that also involves verbal abuse, poor communication, indifference or a SAME SIDE) like Sasuke and Sakura did. Sorry for disagree with some people, but for me, try to kill someone that wanted to be to your side or wanted to be friend of yours just because she appeared in front of you (Sasuke’s case), or because you had to choose the welfare of all the people you love above the old friend that wants to destroy you and everything you love without caring about you (Sakura’s case), is worst than try to kill your opponent because both of you have been involved in a same situation with different interests that forces you to fight to defend yours, and besides you don’t know each other from nothing (Sasori and Sakura)

3-After the match, SASORI CHOOSE TO LET SAKURA LIVE. Sasori COULD have win, Sasori COULD have them both dead (Chiyo and Sakura), Sasori COULD have dodged Chiyo’s last attack, AND HE DIDN’T BY HIS OWN WILL.

On the other hand, why Sasuke didn’t kill Sakura when he attacked her with his sword in Orochimaru’s hiding place? Why he didn’t kill her when he tried to blow her head off (from the back) in the Iron country’s arc? Why he didn’t cut her stomach with a poison kunai like 10 minutes after that? Why he didn’t let her die in Obito’s explosion in the fourth war? Why he didn’t let her and Kakashi die in hot lava during Kaguya’s attack?

Always, because of other people’s intervention. He didn’t regret in any moment on his intention to let her die (in fact, the ONLY person that Sasuke could have killed so many times, and Sasuke himself choose to not do it over and over again… was Naruto, not Sakura.) Period.


I’m not interested in change anyone’s mind with this. I you hate my OTP, or you like both ships, or if you still believe that my tastes are hypocrites, I don’t care, so, this isn’t against you. I’m only explaining MY point of view, giving MY opinion, and why I think that SasoSaku is much better than SasuSaku. (That also implies that I don’t care if a pairing is canon or crack either. That doesn’t have influence in my opinions) And this are my reasons for why I don’t see hypocrisy in linking SasoSaku and hating SasuSaku.

Thanks for reading. Cheers!"

PD: I won't allow SasuSaku trolls or flammers in the comments. So, I don't recommend to waste time in writting me a testament full of insults or bashing, because if I receive garbage like that, I will block the comment and the user without even a warning. Thank you for your time.

I saw this post on Tumblr and honestly, good shit op. 


SasoSaku is pretty much the only Sakura ship Sakura didn't canonically ruin herself and that was never tainted to begin with. You can't really say that for most naruto (het) ships, anymore. 


And yeah, SasoSaku's also the only reason I'm not fully anti-Sakura, too. :/
