What was the point of this scene anyway?
>>281858234This scene only feels pathetic because the whole Naru/Sasu dynamic felt so one sided in part 2. Naruto is obsessing over him 24/7 while Sasuke tried to kill him multiple times and focusing on other shit. Kishi even had to make them reincarnated brothers to justify the obsession
>>281858234This is when shit got real for nardo and he realized he really couldn't just 'bring Sasuke back' like he'd promised Sakura if Sasuke was now a criminal being hunted down by other nations and not just a thorn in Tsunade's side.Panic attack is realistic when you have no idea what to do and things are spiraling out of control. There's a lot of humiliating moments for him in shippuden but this isn't one of them.
I don't like how criminals get a free pass if they're friends with someone important. Yes it's realistic, but fictional stories should be teaching good morals.
>>281858234Naruto is so fucking gay
>>281859238Kishimoto's morals are that the nation-state matters over all and all grievances are pebbles before it. The post-war Konoha has no problem integrating Sasuke, Orochimaru and Kabuto. If Obito had somehow survived the war he would have been vouched for by Naruto and Kakashi and probably be given an apartment and reinstated as a leaf shinobi after having Sasuke use Izanami on him with one of those spare sharingan just to be safe.
>>281859238everyone is a criminal in naruto they are literally soldiers for hire.
>>281859269I wouldn't be surprised if Konoha spared all three of them because it decided a "horde all the human weapons into our state" as a total reversal as the First's power levelling policy with the tailed beasts.
>>281858234save me naruto-kun. i'm literally having a chest pain rn. i'm not joking. there's a severe chest pain in me. help. pls. somebody, help me. PLS!!!!
>>281858234To show how much stress Sasuke's situation is putting on Naruto, or rather how much stress he's putting on himself for the sake of another. He's always been kind of an obsessive nutcase like this, he just got older. But him grasping that his old friend has now made enemies of multiple nations and they're sending out hitmen to murder and dismember him, and this is both the legal and morally correct thing to do is hitting him hard. How can you save someone who used to be a cool dude, but is now determined to drag themselves straight down to hell?
>>281859202>>281860278This is the only panic attack scene in Naruto. No other character has been shown to have the same experience in even worse situations. That's why it feels so forced and cringe.
