I'm still here. I'm a big fan of the way Kishimoto uses external parties to comment on Naruto and Sasuke's relationship. And I can't believe IT'S CANON that Hashirama SAW THE WAY SASUKE LOOKED AT NARUTO and came to the conclusion that NARUTO AND SASUKE WOULD DEFY FATE AND HATRED.
This will hurt a lot of people: what hurt madara was no hashirama's marriage with mito (neither of them gave a fuck about it) it was hashirama ignoring madara's pain of losing izuna
