Come on, before you want to burn us for this note, it is worth mentioning that Masashi Kishimoto has made his intentions for the story of Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha and their romantic lives.
However, this has not prevented some fans from wondering over time if these two characters were really destined to take the path they took with their respective wives or if the original intentions of their creator were different, to the extent that Some fans and members of the LGBT community have said that Kishimoto originally intended to make these two characters a gay couple.all this based on an alleged interview conducted by the artist.
And it is that this rumor is not the only source that the community has taken into account for its theories, since the series itself could be taken as a reference. In Sasuke’s case, the story features him rejecting many women, especially as he gets older. But since there was no content per se that hinted at a preference for men, many thought he was too dedicated to the mission to have time for romance. Still, while creator Masashi Kishimoto may not have dared to “touch” such a popular anime character, there is enough context for speculation to exist.
Do not miss: Goku could be an icon of the LGBT+ community as he is considered Asexual.
As the story continues, and Sasuke is shown to have no interest in women in the era of Naruto, fans can not help but reflect on the evolution of the character. Especially when you consider that Sakura kept throwing herself at him, just like other Konoha girls, but Sasuke just wasn’t interested. Even when he got older and met Karin, Sasuke wasn’t interested in romance, and Konohamaru is a little surprised at how Sasuke ended up with Sakura.
In fact, many people were surprised by their union, since there was no romantic backstory, so there was no basis for this romance. And considering Konohamaru’s thoughts, it seems that the fact that Sasuke was straight was forced, and that Sakura and him were an afterthoughtin order that he could have Sarada and continue the Uchiha bloodline in the sequels, or at least this is what the LGBT community thinks.
Taking up a bit the story of Naruto, throughout the series there have been a couple of moments in which the sexuality of both characters is questioned, there are even moments in which Naruto and Sasuke have kissed. As it happens in the video that we left above.
Of course, these scenes could mean nothing and just be a joke by their creator, as well as the fact that Sasuke is simply an asexual character or one that shows no interest in romance. Either way, whether all this is true or not, it does not change anything in the story and the facts, since these are just fan theories that do not harm anyone and like any work, it is always open to speculation along with its characters.
