[namjoon voice] HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRO!

words and languages are amazing, arent they? So overwhelming your feelings could only be conveyed with words and by communication.

"The moon is beautiful, isn't it?"

It is used to confess to someone you like while under the moon. This phrase is a more poetic way of saying 'I love you'. [it's also an indirect way of saying "I love you"] Japanese itself is a very "indirect" language. You don't have to admit things directly because that's impolite or rude. Why I say that is bcz, Kishi place them under the full moon to share their feelings indirectly and also directly. Japanese people prefer indirect ways of expressing their feelings and emotions. A relationship starts when people tell each other their feelings. Expressing your feelings through words has not always been seen as a natural thing. People express their love and affection through their actions. [Although the main ways of expressing love in Japanese culture differ from Western culture]

What does "friend" mean to you??

[Notice how Sasuke averts his eyes from Naruto (as if he's shy or nervous to get a confession from him) while asking 'what does friend mean to him'?]

Raw (Naruto): 友達だからだ

Romaji: tomodachi... dakarada

Literal: because we're friends

Raw (Sasuke): それはかつて聞いた... お前にとってのそれは･･･ いったい何なんだ?

Romaji: sore wa katsute kīta ... omae nitotte no sore wa ･･･ ittai nanina nda?

Literal: I heard that before... but what the heck does that mean to you?

[As Naruto continues to give the same 'we're friends' response, he becomes visibly angry, clearly displeased with the answer]

Raw: それ説明しろって言われてもオレも正直よく分かんねェーよそんなの…

Romaji: sore setsumei shiro tte iwarete mo ore mo shōjiki yoku wakanne yo sonna no …

Literal: Even if you ask me to explain it.... I honestly don't properly understand... that kind of thing...

Raw: ただお前のそーゆー背負ってゴチャゴチャしてるとこ見てっと・・なんでか・・

Romaji: tada omae no so you seotte gochagocha shiteru toko mite tto... nande ka ...

Literal: It's just that.... When I see you carrying burden on your back... getting all messed up.... for some reason...

Raw: ・・・オレが・・・痛てーんだ

Romaji: ...ore ga... Itate nda

Literal: ...I'm.... hurting...

Raw: すっげー痛くてとてもじゃねーけどそのままほっとけねーん だってばよ!

Romaji: sugge itakute... totemo janē kedo sonomama hottokenē n dattebayo !

Literal: It exceedingly painful. But not just as awfully...as it is now...I can't just leave you alone, dattebayo!

The word Naruto using was 痛く(itaku) meaning- exceedingly or extremely pain. It's not just 'Ouch! It hurts!' kind of pain. It means HE IS IN "EXTREME PAIN". The magnitude and intensity of that 'pain' is so overwhelming that it affects your body and mind.

What was the reason for Naruto & Sasuke's pain to be more emotional??

N. B. When Naruto says that he understands the pain of Gaara's loneliness and Gaara says that he feels pain in his heart... the word used for pain in both cases is 「痛い」 (itaku). 「痛く｣ (itaku) is a similar word, but with a more intense and deeper meaning.

Because of those words Naruto says to Sasuke, his face feels a mixture of emotions: touched, or surprised. Sasuke's expression here is probably one of the most emotional expressions you have ever seen. This made him confess his feelings for Naruto (And It was hella poetic (༎ຶ⌑༎ຶ)

In Sasuke's monologue his words are very deep and intense (the choice of Kanjis are complicated). It is also way too direct and carries a lot of intimacy.

Raw: そしてなぜだか安心したんだ

Romaji: soshite nazeda ka anshin shita nda

Literal: And I don't know why, somehow.... I felt relieved.

Raw: だがそれは．．．同時に弱さだと思った

Romaji: daga sore wa ... dōjini yowa sada to omotta

Literal: But... at the same time... I thought It was a weakness.

Raw: だから・・お前の苦しむ姿を見る度・・そう・・・オレも---

Romaji: dakara ... omae no kurushimu sugata o miru tabi ... sō... ore mo...

Literal: that's why. . . Every time I see you appearing to be suffering. . . that's right I, too...

Raw: オレが 痛くなったんだ

Romaji: ore ga itaku natta nda

Literal: I become pained.

Sasuke also using the same word 『痛く』 and both of them were in such intense pain that words couldn't explain how much it was. It really gives- "If you truly love someone you can feel every joy, sadness and pain of the other as if they were your own". Once you get that, it's easy to understand his reaction to Naruto saying he felt his pain. Sasuke reacted that way because he realized his love was reciprocated. That this feeling of 'friendship' that Naruto was going on about was the same thing that Sasuke had been feeling all this time and it was never friendship. It was more than that. And It was love.

Day 29: I know your heart and you, mine.

I'll never forget when Sasuke put an entire war on pause for a relationship check with Naruto 😭😭

Lol I don't get what the politics is like out there but this joke isn't just simply for fun 👁👄👁

the uk just announced its next prime minister!

a statement from the pm elect, sasuke uchiha: "what this kingdom needs... is revolution"

Hi!

What do you think would have happened if in vote 1 Naruto's answer was: "Because I like you", when Sasuke asked why he was chasing him/hold on to him, do you think Sasuke would have changed his mind and stayed in Konoha?

Yellow.

Well Sasuke already knows by this point that Naruto likes him. What he wanted to know was 'in what way did he like him', why is he so damn passionate about him? Sasuke couldn't reconcile Naruto going to such an extent for him because they were teammates or friends. Throughout Shippuden, Sasuke couldn't rationalize Naruto's passion for him with the explanation Naruto kept giving him. When Naruto tells him Sasuke is like his family, he is touched. But Naruto still wonders if Sasuke was like a brother.

If you meant, if Naruto had confessed his feelings for him at that point, well logically it wouldn't have happened, but if it did, I think Sasuke would have faced a great dilemma, an intense emotional churn, indecision, his heart would be breaking. He would have still left at the end of it though. The damage was already done by Itachi at this point, and it had taken over Sasuke's mind, he was single minded about it. Oro was also continually finding ways to manipulate him, there were a lot of forces working behind Sasuke's abandoning Konoha, his love and friends. He had a moral duty towards his family and clan, to avenge them, he wouldn't have been able to dismiss it in that emotional state of his, after being reminded of the trauma again by Itachi. Yes, he would have suffered greatly. But he would have left anyway. What he wouldn't have done, would be - he wouldn't have attacked Naruto. Yes it's true that he only attacked Naruto because Naruto kept stopping him. If Naruto hadn't intervened, Sasuke would have definitely left without harming a hair on Naruto's head. Even though Itachi told him to kill his best friend to achieve MS, Sasuke didn't do anything about it until Naruto waylaid him. And Naruto was adamant, he just wouldn't let Sasuke leave! Sasuke tried, he did. But Naruto wouldn't budge, so Sasuke had to use violence. Yes, Naruto would have still tried to stop him from leaving but I think Sasuke would have done something like what he did to Sakura. When he gently rendered her unconscious. Or something like that. He wouldn't beat Naruto almost to death, he eventually didn't, but you get my point. It wouldn't be easy, given how stubborn and resilient Naruto is, but Sasuke would have found a way to not hurt Naruto like he did in vote one. Naruto is his precious, he cherishes Naruto, he loves Naruto, he wouldn't let anyone close to Naruto. He spars and plays around with him, sure, that's different. But he would not have viciously attacked Naruto if what you said had happened, like he did in vote one.
