If you're a Naruto fan that supports Sakura Haruno, please read on. Otherwise, I would advise you to turn away and go find yourself an Anti-Sakura rant book. I'm sure you'd fit in perfectly there.
With this...
Hey all! It's totally been FOREVER, but I'm back with "new" and totally worthwhile content to fangirl about. I kid you not, my heart dies every time I think about this.
(BEWARE OF SPOILERS OF THE NOVELS NOT THE SERIES)
First off, Sasuke Retsuden. The first novel of the most recent Naruto novel series. The cover said it all and was the beginning of the SasuSaku fandom's greatest moments alive.

Here it is translated by sakusasusaku, so go check that out if you wanna read it!
JUST from the cover, I KNEW this was it. This was the moment the fandom's been waiting for. You gotta read it for yourself, but I found this AMAZING fanart by @ceejurs (you can find them on Patreon or Instagram) of their (and probably mine too lol) favorite moments from the novel. And here they are. If this isn't incentive enough for you to read the novel, then idk what is.

I was honestly expecting a kiss somewhere in this novel, but honestly, I could live without one if all THIS happens. We've made it this far without a kiss after all. (😏)
ANYWAY I keep having to slap myself in the face to remind myself "WOW this isn't fanon. This REALLY CANONICALLY happened, oh my word."
THIS is the SasuSaku content you find in a fanfiction. He recognizes her touch without seeing her face and feels at ease with her He literally brings her to a cliff overlooking the sea at night and they talk together and make fun of each other's wrinkles. They hold hands. He talks about how he always thinks about her and vice versa. He makes a ring for her to wear to keep guys from flirting with her (his jealousy shows numerous times in the novel it's hilariously cute). He hugs her and wipes her tears away when she's caught under the rubble and he's frantically looking for her, thinking in his mind how he can't imagine living without her. This is the content no one sees in public, those hidden moments that only the two know about. This is the content that keeps me going. 😭💙
Lemme tell you, I convinced my friend to return to the SasuSaku fandom after she read this novel. This gives me so much happiness and life right now, I can't even express it here.
The moment they animate these novels, I might actually die.
This was part one, revolving mainly around Sasuke Retsuden! Stay tuned for Part 2 where I practically fall over, cry tears of joy, and die over Naruto Retsuden next.
Leave your thoughts and reactions in the comments!!! I'm down to fangirl or discuss!!!!
