Another thing I love is that immediately after vote2, sasuke talks about wanting to understand naruto’s pain better…it’s not that he ever thought naruto had it good lol, he’s the first one we see sticking up for him on screen and he says himself that seeing naruto hurt would hurt him too, when they were children, that the villagers’ rejection of his attempts at connecting to them would “weigh on his mind”, but he wants to understand further than that. He wants them to “share their pain” mutually. He doesn’t want to sit back and let naruto be his hero and isn’t thrusting him into a dehumanizing savior role, like most of the village did immediately post pain arc. And I think for someone like naruto, who clearly resented and was disturbed by this role and forced down his discomfort, this would be such a profound and powerful thing
