karehiroTopic: Best Sasuke Pairing? Who do you think would be the best partner for Sasuke? Do you even think he should be paired up? Why do you think that? Discuss all the pairings dealing with Sasuke here. |
 |
Cesia and ChiWell, one part of me wants Sasuke to be happy and in love with Sakura. This is because of his tragic past and quest for revenge caused him to be pained in more ways than one. Sakura could heal his wounds and she can help him get past them. her undying love for him shows that she would do anything for Sasuke. Plus, due to the large influence of fanfiction, I personally think that Sasuke cannot be paired with anyone else and I do not believe that Sasuke is gay at all. The other side of me thinks Sasuke should be paired with no one because he selfishly betrayed Konoha and left Sakura, some one who was trying to help, crying in the dark. In his own conquest for power he hurt many people that cared for him. I do not hate Sasuke for that though. *waves Sasuke fangirl flag* |

Dumbtrickeritayep i agree, i think that the only GIRL Sasuke should be with, assuming if he gets one, would be Sakura. She is the best one for him, and can actually understand the Uchiha better than anyone, because she tries to. And personally, i think that Sasuke sort of has some kind of feelings for Sakura, if not more than close friendship.( I do accept the fact, that other people have different opinions but, Sasu/Hinata? I have no clue how they get that...and i'm not a fan of yaoi...come on it was just an accidental kiss that they both hated..ne who...) He has betrayed the village and hurt everbody that matters..but everyone deserves second chances, the only thing is if Sasuke decides to take that second chance. But nonetheless,...it's the only logical paring that can be justified perfectly...SASU/SAKU ALL THE WAY!!!! |

Gensomaden-SaiyukiFirst and foremost, I've read a lot of fanfictions with these pairings: SasuKaka, SasuNaru, SasuNeji, SasuTen, SasuHina and SasuSaku.1. To me, it's not right to make him gay. He's a strong-willed person, and I can't seem to understand... Why make him gay? 2. SasuHina... Whaaaaaaaaaat? It doesn't click a lot! 3. SasuTen. Good enough but I still think Tenten is only good for Neji. 4. SasuSaku. Perfect. Need I say more? I mean, the episode where Sakura was the last one to talk to Sasuke on the night he left Konoha, look: 1. She asks Sasuke where is he going. 2. Usually, Sasuke wouldn't reply, but instead, he insisted that she should keep her nose out of his business, and that it's late and she should go home (is he concerned? ;D) 3. She tells Team 7's cheerful times 4. Sasuke reacts 5. Sakura confesses her love. She cries endless tears. 6. Sasuke is speechless and walks a few steps down the road. 7. Sakura tells him that if he leaves, she would scream 8. Sasuke, in a split second goes behind Sakura and whispers, "Thank you very much, Sakura..." Just look at that! Sasuke is never a guy to express or say any gratitudes but everything was different with Sakura! I, myself, couldn't believe what had he done because I know it's not in his ego to do so, but he still did! It just means that Sasuke's ice is melting and it's all because of Sakura. Therefore, Sakura is the ONLY ONE who is rightfully to be paired up with Sasuke. ::Releina Artemis:: |

lovesuckerHell yeah! Amen to that! |
 |
The Violent TomboyWell, why I do believe that he's asexual, but he wants to re-establish his clan. That ain't gonna happen if he hooks up with a guy or tries to get pregnant on his own. |
 |
Ice warrioressheh I gotta agree with you there. Besides, they say opposites attract right? Well Sasuke and Sakura are as opposite as you can get (Naruto does not get counted because that is just wrong!! no offense to you guys who like that coupling. You are entitled to your own opinion as am I.) Sakura is always caring for Sasuke and the guy needs someone to help him love again. And...they look so cute together!! |

icydragon14wwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllll, i have to say i like sasusaku and sasuoc, i duno y so dont ask me :D |

Jennifer.the.emotionlessSasuke, an embodiment of darkness, his innocence ripped away from him at the tender age of seven. A genius, yet nothing compared to the prodigy Uchiha Itachi. An avenger for his clan under the constant misery of not being strong enough and in suffering for his brother' death. I just can't see him with Sakura. She's just so annoying! (Please, take no offense. It's just my opinion) She is always bickering with Ino: that stupid Ino-pig, and Sakura-forehead-girl fight is seriously immature. She is weak: the Chuunin Exams proved that, and she constantly freezes up or gets caught in battle: the fight with Gaara. I just don't see how a little, weak, obsessed, immature fan girl could ever bring Sasuke happiness.Hmm, seeing as everyone here disapproves of yaoi, I just won't pair up Sasuke... |
 |
MarileQJennifer, no offense, but you probibly don't like Sakura just because you like yaoi. Sakura is the ONLY choice for Sasuke, whether you realize it or not. First off, he hasn't socialized with anyone else, who's a girl, besides her. Anf if you actually DO think Sasuke's good with a boy, do understand that such an "Avenger" and tough guy, couldn't possibly go gay... Naruto, who's the only guy he's close to, is his brother, rival, and best friend. Not lover.... Even if he didn't get along with Sakura at first, she's the only available one. And, she's not weak. She's physically weak, at first, but she's brave and cares deeply for her friends. That alone is good enough for any man. Later on, because she cares so much about Sasuke, she becomes stronger. WAY stronger. So, Sasuke x Sakura is practically the best choice. *Sigh* But, yaoi fangirls just love NaruSasu... Tsk... there's not even an obvious seme or uke. Which is why I dislike it. I'll have you know, I'm quite fond of yaoi... But NaruSasu... goes down the drain. Even if it's popular. Then, that's just my opnion...| #10 Dec 19th 2005, 4:22pm | |

mewlingWoah, yeah, this is pretty fervent anti-yaoi. It's my personal belief that Sasuke is, well, asexual. He isn't the type to be interested in those things. I can tolerate Sakura now, but I still don't like her. It's not because I'm a yaoi fan (frankly, I'm not), but because of the usual 'sickness' female characters in boys comics have. They're either simpering, effeminate, motherly wimps (kinda like Hinata), or scarily violent maniacs who are on the inside really simpering, effeminate, motherly wimps. Not always, but often. If there is any kind of romantic conclusion to Naruto, there will be a SasuSaku pairing. Depresses me, because I like SasuNaru (it makes more sense to me), but this isn't a girls manga, so no yaoi. As for... SasuHina, SasuTen, SasuNeji, SasuGaa, SasuKaka, SasuTema, SasuShika and SasuGodKnowsWhoElse- they make no sense. The only parings that do are SasuSaku or SasuNaru. ..Sasuke's good with a boy, do understand that such an "Avenger" and tough guy, couldn't possibly go gay... .. There's no need to get idealistic about homosexuality. If the only real problem -and that's all there is- is the sex, they don't have to screw. There's a really prevalent social stereotype about homosexuals that is wholly erroneous, perpetuated by television. Male homosexuals can simply not like woman (and there are many, many reasons for this), or maybe they're narcissistic men who regard woman as inferior. Naturally, there are other reasons. A homosexual doesn't necessarily act like society decrees women should. Sasuke doesn't need to be healed or loved. Nothing in the past can be changed; Sasuke exists for himself. | #11 Dec 19th 2005, 4:41pm . Edited Dec 19th 2005, 4:54pm | |

MajesaAt this point in the manga I can only see Sasuke being with Sakura, if anyone at all. I don't see him being gay. Nothing of his character gives me the idea that he could be gay. He's too focused on finding Itachi and killing him to be with anyone now though.| #12 Dec 20th 2005, 5:51pm | |

Wicked EnoughFirst and foremost, I have to say I am a solid, no-nonsense SasuSaku fan. I write, read, dream SasuSaku in all their precious moments. I support them without a single doubt in my mind.Second, I don't believe they'll end up together. Why? (And why do I keep dreaming on?) Because this is a shonen manga, and shonen is notorious for making it so the couple never end up together, or, if they do, are torn away by death/circumstances/etc. Think about it. I believe that the only shonen series I have ever watched/read that ended up with a solid pairing was Yu Yu Hakusho, and that was obvious because there were no other possible people for Yusuke/Keiko to be paired up with. Anyway, like I said, SHONEN ALMOST NEVER HAS A SOLID ROMANTIC ENDING. So we must deal with other pairings, even if we don't agree with them. The reason I don't like SasuNaru? Because I believe that it's possible to have two guys be friends and rivals without turning into a romantic couple. And there has been no romantic hints in the entire series, compared to the plethora of SasuSaku moments. Also, again, it's SHONEN. Boys read shonen. The majority of boys don't like yaoi, just like a majority of girls don't like yuri. (MAJORITY. NOT ALL.) So we won't be seeing boy on boy love here. I believe in SasuSaku because of 4 important reasons (OK, so some of them are petty). One, they look adorable together. Two, they have had more romantic moments (Sakura hug, Sasuke goodbye) than two other people. Three, Sakura's dedication to him (now for more three years), even after his betrayal of Kohona, has matured into something less crush and something more love. And four... When Sasuke left, he said "Thank you." Not "Leave me alone", or "Goodbye." This shows that he isn't ending their relationship because he doesn't quite know how to deal with the relationship at the moment, with him trying to kill his brother and all that. God, that's long... I'm such a dork . | #13 Dec 20th 2005, 9:14pm | |

shir0-chanHey every oneJennifer-san you haven’t read most of the manga have you? That fight with Gaara, Sakura had the courage to just jump out and defended him didn’t she? If she was weak she would be too chicken to just jump out. If she hadn’t then who knows what would happen to Sasuke. And Sasuke being an Asexual, I can’t picture that honestly, I CANNOT PICTURE THAT. Blame it on me for having a small span of creativity, but I just can’t picture it. Sakura is the best to go with Sasuke. I mean, he has feelings towards her and even though its just friendship right now, I’m sure that the friendship can grow into love. Also Sasuke and Naruto are more like brothers, I don’t see romance any where there. The closest to romance with Sasuke is Sakura in the anime/manga series. So I’m going SasuSaku all the way! | #14 Dec 21st 2005, 5:56am | |

hope is a sinking boatSasuke with anybody eles other than Sakura, or a really good OC would be absolutely no sense. SasuSaku all the way! I hate reading yaoi. No offense to all you yaoi loving people out there. XD| #15 Dec 21st 2005, 4:20pm | |

mewling.. Because this is a shounen manga, and shounen is notorious for making it so the couple never end up together, or, if they do, are torn away by death/circumstances/etc..That's why I love shounen manga; the lack of romance. Heh. I hope that's what happens to Naruto. What really tires me about shoujo is the obsession to pair every damn character up with someone. .. Also, again, it's SHONEN. Boys read shonen. The majority of boys don't like yaoi, just like a majority of girls don't like yuri. (MAJORITY. NOT ALL.) So we won't be seeing boy on boy love here... Of course, this is called the 'best' Sasuke pairing, not the 'most probable'. I agree, there will never be any yaoi in the manga. Frankly, I'm glad. If I saw yaoi in Naruto, I'd be sincerely repulsed. Romance is romance, screwing is screwing, regardless of gender. ..This shows that he isn't ending their relationship because he doesn't quite know how to deal with the relationship at the moment, with him trying to kill his brother and all that... ...To me, this is reading a little too deeply. I had always thought he meant 'thanks for caring', because she is his team mate, and a precious person. I mean, technically, he didn't end any of his relationships. ..And Sasuke being an Asexual, I can’t picture that honestly, I CANNOT PICTURE THAT... ...I don't see why not. I mean, he is/was twelve. Not every one has an overbearing sex drive. He's behaved remarkably asexual so far. So has Kakashi, Orochimaru, Neji, Kiba, Shino, Gaara, Kankurou, Gai, Kabuto, The Sound Four, Kimimarou and...well, on and on and on. I think I'll root for no pairing. *laughs* Can't argue with that. Sorry it's so long... | #16 Dec 21st 2005, 8:13pm | |

penguin knighti dont think sasuke should be paired up with anyone.im not gonna bother to provide a reason. | #17 Dec 22nd 2005, 10:36am | |

Raven ShinobiSasuke should be paired up with someone who really cares about him and will be supportive and patient all the time while he chased after his revenge, the best current possibilities are Sakura and Ino, since they both love him for what he is and despite his dark side, I might be one of the few who likes both Sasuke/Sakura and Sasuke/Ino ^^ it seems from the direction of the manga and the focus on the progress of the relationship between Sasuke and Sakura however that there's a good possibility that Sasuke will end up with her.| #18 Dec 22nd 2005, 12:46pm | |

Jenni KunoichiYou're right about the gay thing. Even though I absolutely LOVE SasuNaru, I don't believe he would do it.Like you said, He's too proud. But it's okay to dream though right? | #19 Dec 22nd 2005, 7:10pm | |

Jenni KunoichiJennifer-san,As much as I hate to say this, I agree with the other people about your comment. I am also a yaoi fan and I do dislike Sakura, but I face the facts. There will not be any yaoi in the Naruto Manga or Anime Series. So Sasuke will most likely be alone. Meets this girl in the manga/series he falls in love with or he goes to Sakura. I hope you aren't offended. | #20 Dec 22nd 2005, 7:16pm | |

Gensomaden-SaiyukiWhat's with all the hostility? I mean come on, guys! Okay, I'm gonna take this as calmly as I can...I just can't see him with Sakura. She's just so annoying! (Please, take no offense. It's just my opinion) She is always bickering with Ino: that stupid Ino-pig, and Sakura-forehead-girl fight is seriously immature. Well, sometimes, for me, Sakura IS annoying. But guys take a look at that after note she left! She said no offense and she's just stating her own opinion. ...Now, for my opinion: I think that because you're an anti-Sakura, of course, you won't appreciate her, being the Sakura that she is. I understand. Perhaps she's just not the type of typical girl you're always used to (or if she's really the typical, that's why you hate her so much). For me, that Sakura VS Ino fight is very, well, what's that right word? Ah, gruesome and not that dramatic. But Kishimoto-sama did give us a good picture that friends are strengthened by fighting and that they'll make up, no matter what. I think that for you, it's immature because the cause of their broken friendship is Sasuke. Yes, I see that very pathetic but if you put yourself to Ino or in Sakura's shoes (imagine yourself as a kid), I think yes, that's one reason to hate each other. She is weak: the Chuunin Exams proved that, and she constantly freezes up or gets caught in battle: the fight with Gaara. I just don't see how a little, weak, obsessed, immature fan girl could ever bring Sasuke happiness. That's because she was afraid and she can't do anything! Knowing that there's Sasuke and/or Naruto to protect her. ...Now, my turn: Ah, the Chuunin Exams. Let's see her sacrifice-yourself score chart: 1. Sakura cut her long hair, just for the sake of being able to protect Naruto and Sasuke because they were always protecting her. Now, it was her turn to protect them. Now, if I was to cut my hair like that... NO WAY. I love my hair! But I guess Sakura loves her hair, too. It's against her heart to cut her hair, but in order to protect THEM, she has to. So, she did. 2. Sakura tried to raise her hand during the assembly of the Elimination Matches. She was concerned for Sasuke because of the Cursed Seal. Sasuke grabbed her hand and declined her purpose. Even if she was stopped, I think the officials noticed that she was raising her hand. It was already enough trouble that she has to scramble on saying that it was nothing... Which I see typically, embarrassing. Imagine yourself battling with people from other countries, knowing they're the best. Then an official sees you raise your hand, even if you quickly withdrew it, and then you say, "Nothing." For me, that's soooooo embarrassing. 3. The battle with Gaara. She didn't freeze up or got caught in between, she really intended to get hit by Gaara. Because Gaara was aiming for a disabled Sasuke, whose curse was slightly taking over. Sakura was the first to know about Sasuke's curse, so there's all the more to protect him when he's like that. I mean, sure, it was quite annoying with the thought, "Why didn't she just let Gaara do the job?" But if he did, then we don't have Sasuke right now, right? 4. Sakura can bring Sasuke happiness, at least in our observations, being brought to life in fanfictions. ^___^ *does the cool Gai pose* Hmm, seeing as everyone here disapproves of yaoi, I just won't pair up Sasuke... *falls anime style* That's why you hate SasuSaku and Sakura that much. MANY people disapprove of yaoi because uhm... you can't produce a child with them? *grins* Nah, it's because it's weird and society highly declines to it. I understand only a few people appreciate yaoi and yuri but hey, remember, MAJORITY RULES. Majority likes SasuSaku, majority likes het... So, the majority will be a great influence, adding more people in this "majority". Now, Jennifer-san, we have it all cleared out for you. Thanks for your opinion. ...^-^ Everyone's entitled to their own opinions, whether people hate it or not, right guys? ::Releina Artemis:: | #21 Dec 23rd 2005, 4:39am | |

shir0-chanYup yup totally agrees with Gensomaden-Saiyuki-san. You sound so much like...I dont know one of those people who stops fight and settle every thing...I got it...peacemaker! LOL...I guess Jenifer-san has her rights just like I do with my views. But well to me who is a Sakura fan cannot let something like that down even though Jenifer-san did say no offense. I still think Sakura is the best for Sasuke since she worked hard for it, and she really loves him. I still cannot imagine Sasuke walking out with no one else other then Sakura clutching to his arms. Well knowing the person that Sasuke is, I dont even know if he'll even let her, but then he is not completely Mr Ice Cube, who knows these kind of things are unpredictable. All I can do now is hope that they'll be together. Like Wicked-san once said, Shonen manga/anime never ends in a coupling. But I hope Naruto does, I mean Masashi-sama did give out ALOT of hints about the couplings, it should be there for a reason right? | #22 Dec 23rd 2005, 5:16am | |

Cranberry ScoopI don't know about Sasuke/Sakura. Sakura is a wonderful person, and I think she deserves someone better. I personally favor Sasuke/Ino. Not many people do, though. Hmf.I think Sasuke's going to be alone for the rest of his life in the manga. As much as I'd like to see him settle down and stuff, I doubt he will. He just doesn't seem to be leaning in that direction. | #23 Dec 23rd 2005, 6:00pm | |

Caramel RainI agree in thta Sasuke is best alone in the time frame we see him now. He has to settle his demons first before he can have any relationship. Even his friendships with Naruto and Sakura hold some reserve, but that doesn't mean, Sakura's unconditional support of him while he confronts Itachiwon't hold any weight afterwards. I believe that eventually Sakura and Sasuke will end up together somewhere far down the road since they 1- are familiar and Sakura really is the only love Sasuke has ever known 2-Sakura's loyalty must have touched Sasuke even if it's just a little 3-Sakura is so willing to give to Sasuke and Sasuke is in so much need of healing 4-for reproduction purposes on Sasuke's part.| #24 Dec 24th 2005, 11:43am | |

efteePersonally, I don't care if Sasuke ends up with Naruto -or- Sakura. (I wouldn't mind if it was all THREE of them that ended up together *coughs*, no matter how surreal that is...)Honestly, at first I was not too keen on the idea of NaruSasu fanfics. I didn't like the idea of the two being gay because I thought it could never, ever happen. But when you think about it, Naruto's the only one who understands Sasuke. Naruto's the only one who actually made an effort to stop Sasuke himself from going to Orochimaru, even if Sakura was all worried, she wasn't the one who ran off to go bring him back to Konoha. And at first, I was not too keen on the idea of SakuSasu pairing either. First off, Sakura seemed really annoying -- at the beginning -- but if you've read the latest releases of the manga, you see she really has changed. She's stronger, and she wants to be the one to save both Sasuke -and- Naruto. So, really, if Sasuke would be with anyone, I'd rather it be any of the two. I cannot picture anyone of them to be with anyone else. If they don't at least get into a relationship, then I picture them to still stay close. Y'know, friends-with-benefits, except for the fact that they all care about each other. | #26 Dec 28th 2005, 10:34pm | |

CrAzY-SiLLy-MeAm not a yaoi fan, more so ever think Sasuke is gay... hell no... just the thought of it makes me shudder. I think if he would end up with someone, it;d be better and best if it were with Sakura. Honestly, both anime and manga has givn enough hints of them, whether it be angsty or not. I haven't seen Sasuke talk to any girl (for mor than a minute) except Sakura. Heck, besides older women who are teachers, Sakura is the only gilr he ever had a conversation with. His Thank you to Sakura may be the biggest evidence yet.| #27 Dec 30th 2005, 10:09am | |

iamfreakI'd probably agree with Mewling on this one. Sasuke going to Orochimaru put him in an entirly different category and setting from everyone else in the entire series and in order for me to support any pairing with Sasuke he has to redeem himself first. (Yes I know he has plenty of excuses for why he did this and I do feel sorry for him, but he made the wrong decision and did the wrong thing, regardless of what happened to him. He needs to own up and redeem himself before he can cast his lot with everyone back in Konoha.)As for Sasuke being gay. I tend to believe that. I do *not* think he's some flambouant homosexual with secret desires to crossdress or anything, but I could see him thinking "hey, I care for this guy so I guess that makes me gay." His sexuality would be decided on who he happened to develop feelings for and not on what gender someone was. Now with that being said, if I had to support a pairing with Sasuke, I'd pick Naruto instead of Sakura. Someone mentioned opposites attract and yes that can happen, but no matter how alike or different people are there has to be a deeper level of understanding between them before any sort of relationship can start, especailly with someone like Sasuke who has a tendancy not to trust people due to all the crap he's been through. Sakura cannot provide that, ever. She has been infatuated with this idealistic Sasuke-kun for so long that if he were to explain to her everything he's been through thoroughly enough that someone who has no idea what it's all like can understand and possibly empathize (which I cannot see Sasuke having that conversation with anyone) she would be at a loss. She wouldn't be able to pick which Sasuke to see - her Sasuke-kun or the avenger he sees himself as. The relationship would end before it began. (Under certain circumstances I suppose I can see them ending up together, but it would take a lot to get them both there.) With Naruto, that basic understanding is already there. They haven't been through the same things, but the emotions involved are similar enough. Being teammates devolped a trust and companionship and with the right circumstances a romantic relationship could form fairly easily. (Naruto has to get over Sakura, but with the way she's blown him off before that's also fairly easy, especially if giving up on her meant he could form a real bond with someone - the type he's been lacking all his life.) I'm not a yaoi fangirl (this is the first and only maleXmale pairing I support so far) but it just makes more sense with the characters. This pairing would take some work too, but not even a tenth of the work needed in a Sasusaku pairing. Mostly though, I'd say he ends up with no one. | #28 Dec 30th 2005, 7:38pm .

RoseLavenderRoseI'm a yaoi lover, but if Sasuke is to be paired up with a girl, then it HAS to be Sakura. Imagine Sasuke with Temari or with some other girl (not trying to offense Temari fans)... But if Sasuke's going to be paired up with another guy, in my opinion, Naruto would be the best choice XD Then maybe Neji, but why Neji, I'm not so sure...| #29 Jan 03rd 2006, 9:48pm | |

WindWitchI'm also a devoted SasuSaku fan. I usually support only canon things, unless a really good random thing comes up. So why SasuSaku? Because there is WAY too much things we saw in the manga about Sakura's love for Sasuke, and Sasuke's care for Sakura. Much more than we saw in ANY other possible romantic relationship. And those who think Sakura is: weak, annoying, clingy, etc. etc..... Well, continue reading the manga. You're in for quite a shock. | #30 Jan 04th 2006, 9:20pm | |

iamfreakYou're right, there is plenty of evidence of Sakura caring for Sasuke, but that can be portrayed as a schoolgirl crush just as easily as it can be portrayed as true love. Don't forget that they're only twelve (who do you know met they're spouse at that age?) and can overblow things like crushes.Sakura did grow up and become a better, stronger character, but Sasuke doesn't know that now does he? Because he betrayed Konoha he doesn't know about any of them (based on what's been revealed so far). | #31 Jan 05th 2006, 3:54pm . Edited Jan 05th 2006, 3:55pm | |

riya-chanI agree with Mewling. It is a shounen manga and so I fail to see why Sasuke must be paired up with anyone. There's a complete lack of romantic interest from him towards anyone else due to his priorities. And as a result of his character development, I would even say that it simply feels out of character for me to see Sasuke with anyone romantically.| #32 Jan 05th 2006, 9:05pm | |

WindWitchiamfreak, you are completely right! Sasuke DOESN'T know about Sakura's more mature personality. But the fact of the matter is, they bash her, or say Sasuke shouldn't be with someone like that. And when Sasuke does come back, he'll see the new her, right? And since all things involving Sasuke (Sasuke / Hinata, Sasuke / Ino, etc.) happen when Sasuke comes back to Konoha, why would they continue writing Sakura as exaggerated version of her twelve year old self? I respect the fact that some people would rather pair Sasuke up with others. But there's no need to actually BASH another character for it. Oh, and yes, Sasuke doesn't need to end up with anyone at all. ^^ It's just fun for us fanfiction authors to put him with some significant other because it's amusing to see Sasuke in love. Or lust. Either one. | #33 Jan 08th 2006, 2:29pm . Edited Jan 08th 2006, 2:29pm | |

Slim SummersAs far as canon goes, Sasuke/Sakura is the most likely pairing. A popular fanfic alternative seems to be Sasuke/Hinata. While I like both pairings, they both seem to subscribe to innoncent girls, understanding his pain, etc. I also like certain other pairings for Sasuke such as the rare Sasuke/Tenten and never seen Sasuke/Temari. Both these girls would approach Sasuke in a different manner then the Hinata and Sakura would. Stronger more jaded and nore willing to really stand upto him. Another pairing I just want to see out of some twisted reasons would be Sasuke/Anko. I have no idea how this would work but I would like to see it all the same.| #34 Jan 12th 2006, 8:22am | |

GrummanPost-timeskip, Sakura seems the most likely choice for any pairing. She has become powerful in her own right, and if Sasuke has already gained the strength he wants from Orochimaru, they could work together to defeat Itachi.Pre-timeskip, if you are going to pair Sasuke up with anyone, I think Tenten works best. She has not earned Sasuke's irritation like Sakura and Ino did, and I do like the idea of her seeking out Sasuke to train with him in shuriken techniques. The Sasuke/Hinata pairing seems the least likely. Hinata likes Naruto, and I doubt Sasuke's idea of "resurrecting his clan" involves marrying the heir of another, more powerful clan. To do so would effectively end the Uchiha name. | #35 Jan 12th 2006, 8:41pm | |

shir0-chanWell...who knows. Shonen manga hardly shows coupling in the end. Although I just have a feeling that Naruto might. I mean the creator emphasised how many coupling alreading. Well for me now, the most likely pairing is probably SasuSaku, they're like the main cannon other then Naruhina. I know I said that because I'm a die-hard fan of SasuSaku. But I'm also standing on the more realistic side. But right now we still dont know who Sasuke will end up with. Who knows it could be a random character that randomly pops up later. But I highly doubt that. I'll just laugh and sent a flame letter to the creator then..jkz jkz...but who knows, most likely Sasuke will find a girl to get married. He did say that one of his goal in life was to ressurect his clan. | #36 Jan 14th 2006, 5:44am . Edited Jan 14th 2006, 5:46am | |

Nine CrimesBest partner for Sasuke? Well I do like Sasuhina but they aren't that close enough even though they are alike. I dont like Sasusaku but I REALLY hate to admit but I think Sakura is. She cares for him at least! Not for his looks like Ino. -.-'But in YAOI way, I would choose Narusasu! its the best there! :D and plus they kissed but ahh that aint the reasons. They care for each and blah yeah yeah yeah. Ok I think shut up now because I dont think this forum is to talk about yaoi. o.o | #37 Jan 15th 2006, 11:21am | |

Nine CrimesYes yes I agree. Sakura at LEAST cares for him, unlike Ino coz she only cares for the looks. But be glad I'm actually I'm admitting this coz.... dont get mad k? ..... I kinda dont like sasusaku. ... Yeah go ahead and smack me for saying that but i'm being honest that she should be with him. But since in yaoi form, uhhh narusasu... *ahem* yeah it said you dont like yaoi but I'm just saying who Sasuke should be with. :D (sasuhina? I like that pairing. ... yeah you can smack me for that too. They only get that idea because they are alike. They dont get acknowledged from their fathers, both from really powerful clans, kinda a bit of loners. Yeah once you think about it, it kinda makes sense except that Sasuke thinks Hinata's weird. oh wellz who knows. *shrug*) | #38 Jan 15th 2006, 11:26am | |

Nine CrimesSakura the best for any pairing? Hmm the only one i think she works best is with Sasuke *wince* I really dont like Sasusaku...you can smack me if you want for me saying that... Neji is best with Tenten, Hinata with Naruto. It makes more sense with those choices. I dont know about if Shikamaru, but he works well with Temari or Ino. *shrug* dunno...Sasuke with Tenten? Mnnn...you say ANYONE and I say that ANYONE would be Naruto. Or maybe Kakashi and Sasuke. but if you're talking about a girl..hmm lesse...Ino works well with Shikamaru and same with Temari. (I have a Naruto gamecube game with is Naruto gekitou Ninja Taisen 4 and they have their own specials and DAMN they are freaking strong!) Tenten goes with Neji, and Sakura or maybe Hinata could. Sakura kicks ** when she gets older so I think SAKURA would be the best choice. Hinata with her Byakugan could go well if Sharingan and yeah. Sasuke/Hinata pairing least likely? Dude, there's a PRET-TY much a lot of people who like sasuhina. Think about the DIFFERENCES and the SIMILAR things about them. They are in a very strong clan, they are not acknowledged by their father, and their loners. not for the differences: Yin and Yang (well think about that one: white and black), Byakugan and Sharingan, Hyuuga and Uchiha, Brothers and sisters, Forceful and submissive (? right? shoot i'm forgetting my meanings of words) and many more. | #40 Jan 15th 2006, 11:36am | |

Nine CrimesYes Sasusaku is the most likely pairing. *wince* even though i dont like it... *smacks self* Yeah i deserved that for saying i hate that pairing. -.-#And yeah the second most popular would be sasuhina. Sasuten wont kinda make sense since Tenten has her feelings for Neji and Temari has her feelings for Shikamaru (coz Shikamaru flirted with her. :D) o.O EH?! *anime fall* SASUKE AND ANKO?! You GOT to be kidding me!! lmao | #41 Jan 15th 2006, 11:39am | |

GrummanDon't get me wrong - I am primarily a Neji/Tenten follower, I just think that there is room for a Sasuke/Tenten pairing pre-timeskip.Sasuke/Hinata pairing least likely? Dude, there's a PRET-TY much a lot of people who like sasuhina. Think about the DIFFERENCES and the SIMILAR things about them. I think we'll have to agree to disagree. It's not that I dislike the pairing, I just don't think it could get off the ground. Sasuke wants to revive the Uchiha clan, while the Hyuugas wouldn't be happy about the Byakugan leaving the Hyuuga clan. | #42 Jan 16th 2006, 5:11am | |

Cranberry ScoopI do agree that Sakura cares for Sasuke, but I believe Ino does too. We don't really know who likes him more, since she's not one of the main characters of the story. The book's kind more focused around Team 7.If Sasuke does end up with someone, it would probably be Sakura, since she's the heroine. But I just don't understand how she can change so much in three years. -_- It'd kind of Mary-Sue-ish in my opinion, but ah well. I don't like SasuSaku, it's so overplayed. And to be honest, Sasuke never showed any real affection towards females. | #43 Jan 17th 2006, 3:31pm | |

WindWitchWell, Sasuke showed plenty of care towards Sakura. Just whether or not that was romantic feelings is up to the readers to decide on how they want to see it. I see it as romantic because where Sasuke showed zero feelings towards any girl, he showed at least some to Sakura. Perhaps it's because she's a good friend of his. As for Ino: Well, after Sasuke betrayed the village, she sort of just... stopped about him, don't you think? Ans even though I like Ino's character, I don't think what she felt about Sasuke was that deep. She doesn't really know him. Sakura, having the fate of being put into the same team as Sasuke, has gotten closer to him, and has gained some sort of care from him. Now, if Ino was put in Team 7, I think the majority of us here would be going for SasuIno, rather than SasuSaku. Simply because before Team 7, Sakura and Ino's personality were very much alike. And if Ino went through the same thing Sakura went through with Zabuza and Haku, the Chuunin Exams etc., Ino's and Sasuke's bond would be like that of Sasuke and Sakura now. The Sakura and Ino thing was just a thing of fate, really. Although somethings might've turned out different, as both girls have different talents, and different (although similar) personalities, the general outsome would've been the same. As you for not liking SasuSaku, well, to each his own. I respect the fact that SasuSaku doesn't strike you as it does to others. And Sasuke ending up with Sakura because she's the heroine seems kind of wrong don't you think? If she's the heroine, should she not end up with Naruto, since he's the hero? And Sakura being Mary-Sue-ish... looking at it, three years is not that little of a time. Even so, we can still see that Sakura's not as powerful as Tsunade yet. Sakura is strong, but Tsunade is stronger, and her medic-jutsus far surpass Sakura's, I'm sure. Just at the moment though. And remember, Sakura has a lot of potential, and nearer to the end of the first arc, right before Kakashi's Gaiden, Sakura has shown more interest in being a greater ninja, so that would explain her improvement. | #44 Jan 17th 2006, 4:25pm .

Silent Shadow1If I had to pair him up, it would be Sakura. Though, the way Sasuke is going that it would be best for him not to romanticaly involved with anyone.I like the idea of Sasuke/Sakura because they have some powerful emotional scenes. I don't mind the Naruto/Sasuke idea because I hold the belief that the relationship between the two is much more significant and strong that the relationship between Sasuke/Sakura. The only thing is I don't feel anything beyonf brotherhood between the two, I don't get any romantic vibes. Personally, if they found themselves romantically or physically attracted together the Sasuke-Naruto dynamic would be cheapened. | #45 Jan 18th 2006, 4:52pm | |

Ako-si-Uchiha-SasukeNyaar I think SasuNaru (rawr RESPECT PLEASE. I HAVE MY OPINION AND YOU HAVE YOURS NOW HAVE AN APPLE.)coz FROM CHAPTER 3 they already have teh most *romantic* (4 me that is o) scene wait that wasn't but yeah whatever. That's where it ALWAYS starts. HATE. but one you looked into it they are teh best (OPINION) HINTS:(And spoilers) NARU-CHASES-SASU= Mah fave. Really. He woudn't be THAT desperate just to save a friend to who betrayed you for some USELESS reason. Episode 3 thing: yeah. The suprised THINGY! and meh.. a lot more I'm just too sleepy to write it down @_@ it's 10:16 pm here @_@ | #46 Jan 21st 2006, 6:15am | |

GrummanNARU-CHASES-SASU= Mah fave. Really. He woudn't be THAT desperate just to save a friend to who betrayed you for some USELESS reason.Why not? He does seem to place a great deal of importance on his friendships. Naruto knows perfectly well why Sasuke left, and I wouldn't call "revenge against the man who killed your entire family" a "useless reason". Second, before they left, Sakura more or less begged Naruto to bring Sasuke back. Naruto, like Lee, cares deeply for Sakura, and would not readily go back on his word on something which meant so much to her. Third, if he had managed to complete this A-rank mission, while still a genin, it would have significantly helped him in achieving his goal of Hokage. | #47 Jan 21st 2006, 9:51pm | |

mewlingWhy not? He does seem to place a great deal of importance on his friendships. Although, reading recent chapters, you have to wonder if Kishimoto's actually trying to _discourage_ (like most shounen manga authors) the yaoi fans. The vagueness of Naruto's phrases is certainly suspicious...although I'm probably over interpreting. Grumman puts forward a good point. But I don't know about the third point, Third, if he had managed to complete this A-rank mission, while still a genin, it would have significantly helped him in achieving his goal of Hokage. I really don't think that's even the intended interpretation. Naruto seems to only have this vague idea that to be hokage you have to be the strongest ninja in the village. He's given a mission so he _can_ (legitimately) chase after Sasuke, and it's A-ranked to stress the difficulty and importance. The other two points are well enough on their own. NARU-CHASES-SASU= Mah fave. Really. He woudn't be THAT desperate just to save a friend to who betrayed you for some USELESS reason. But I wonder if he really did betray Naruto. He just left and did what he wanted, even if others didn't approve. Now, _betrayal_ would be more like if he incapacitated Naruto and delivered him to the Akatsuki. I like SasuNaru in fan work, because I don't consider it being 'Naruto', but in the manga, it's better he be paired with none. | #48 Jan 24th 2006, 1:36am | |

Liona SkycatIn the manga, I don't think Sasuke should be paired up with anyone. For my personal opinion, though I doubt it would ever happen in the manga, I think that the only person compatible with Sasuke is Naruto. Naruto is the only one who both really understands Sasuke and has the drive and stubborness to handle a relationship with the guy. The two of them fit eachother well, they drive eachother to be better, and honestly I think that through their experiences they've actually shaped themselves around each other.Really, I don't even have to see them in a typical romantic relationship. It's easy to see them in a relationship that has nothing to do with sex or normal coupl-y type things, but instead just on the mutual comfort and support they can give eachother in a way that no one else really can, because they understand eachother the best. Which is a lot like just friendship really, but I see it in a way that's much closer than people usually think of friendship being. Now, I don't think Sakura fits with Sasuke. Oh certainly she would try her best to make it work, and maybe even Sasuke could try for such a relationship, but in the end I think they'd end up grating off eachother and moving apart. I've just never gotten the impression that Sakura really understands and loves Sasuke for who he is. She thinks she does, and she may truly be in love with the person she thinks he is, but I honestly don't think that she really gets who he is. Because of that fact, I don't think she'd be able to give Sasuke the things he needs, and I certainly don't think that he could give her what she wants/needs, and I'm not sure if she could live with that. And yes, yes, some people might be like "Oh, you like YAOI so that's why you don't like SasuSaku!" And true, that's probably why I don't LIKE it, but I honestly don't need to like a pairing to decide whether or not I think it's workable. For example, I could see NaruSaku as having a possibility of working, as well as LeeSaku. NaruHina less so, unless Hinata gets a fair bit more assertive, otherwise I think Naruto might get frustrated with her after awhile, as well as him possibly being too much energy and enthusiasm for her to handle on a constant basis. However, overall, I think Sasuke is best left romance-less. Though this does not rule out the possibility of finding some woman (or several?) to propagate the Uchiha genes with. I wouldn't really call that a pairing though. | #49 Jan 26th 2006, 10:46am | |

Jesse McGeewho cares! this is fanfiction and we can do whatever we like to the characters and plots of naruto or any other world so long as we make sure that the characters are remotely reconginsable (ops, spelling error, dang). that is the whole point of fanfictionand i also don't think that anyone will get together. i watch a lot of TV and i rarely have seen a tv program (apart from soaps) where someone gets together and stays together. take Smallville for instance. at the end of each episode, we are back to the beginning again (evil sister, has to watch the evil programm at dinner). If you added in romance, half the people who watch just to see whether their fave couple get together would be out the door and you would loose the show. come on, would you stop watching the show if naruto and sasuke got together?? maybe, maybe not. well, some people would and the only way they could fix the rating is if they alienated every one else or made them love someone else. now, let's just say that Ino and Sakura got together, right? Now the show would loose all the people love any pairing but Sakura and Ino and Naruto and Sasuke. in the end it would be a big mess and they would probably have to end the magna and, eventually, the anime. so it is better for the show if no one gets together at all. Cause if we loose the show, we're screwed. | #50 Jan 30th 2006, 11:29pm | |
