3 Finally Over

This art is a two-part image that showcases the ending of Naruto when all the battling was finally over. After Sasuke and Naruto have their final battle and the two lose an arm each, Sasuke apologizes to him along with Sakura for all the grief he has caused the two. he apologizes deeply to Sakura and thanks her for always caring about him, even when he didn’t deserve it. This is when Sasuke finally changes from being a stubborn, revenge filled character, to becoming the character fans always wanted him to be. The two look at each other and are happy they can finally start something new, leaving all the pain and suffering behind them. Sakura cries tears of joy.

Canon

Naruto and Sakura first met as kids in the Ninja Academy, and Naruto quickly started crushing on her. They were put in the same team, Team 7, alongside Uchiha Sasuke under the tutelage of Hatake Kakashi. Sakura did not return Naruto’s feelings. She had a massive crush on Sasuke instead.

While she thought little of him at first, Naruto’s growth as a ninja drew Sakura’s growing respect and the two became friends. When Sasuke defected from Konohagakure, he promised Sakura that he would bring him back, but failed and began training with Jiraiya. After he returned, their relationship picked up where it left off. Most importantly, Sakura could see that he had changed and improved as a ninja, but was still the same knucklehead at heart. They were even put in the same team, Team 7, becoming a formidable force on the battlefield, going on several missions together. Naruto could also see that Sakura had improved as a medical ninja, and came to respect and admire her even more.

Soon, Sasuke became an S-Ranked criminal. Sai, the newest member of Team 7, confronted Sakura about Naruto’s feelings for her, telling her that he really loved her and was hell-bent on retrieving him because of his love. In an infamous scene, Sakura told Naruto that she loved him, but Naruto rejected her, saying, «I hate people who lie to themselves!»

Despite this, they remained friends, fighting alongside each other once again in the Fourth Shinobi World War. In one instance, while Sakura was healing Naruto, his father Minato asked if she was his girlfriend. Naruto playfully said she was, making her hit him. Later, when the Nine-Tails fox was drawn from his body, she performed mouth-to-mouth CPR on him. In the end, they teamed up with Sasuke again to take down Kaguya. However, Sasuke attacked both Naruto and Sakura, infamously putting her under a genjutsu. After their final battle, Sasuke agrees to return to Konoha. He marries Sakura, while Naruto marries Hinata.

Semi-canonically, the movie «Road to Ninja» is the most popular Naruto movie amongst shippers for the shippy moments the pairing gets. The most famous of this is Naruto saving Sakura and carrying her in his arms.

7 Then And Now

This fanart may only be a sketch in black and white, but it is so cute and deserves a spot on this list. The four images @IZ_it_ has created showcases Sasuke and Sakura interacting with each other at different ages. Sakura from the original Naruto is with a Sasuke from Shippuden and is shown to be just as shy and bashful as she always was around him. Sakura from Boruto is hugging Shippuden Sasuke in such a way that shows she knows how difficult he is in this era. A Shippuden Sakura hugs a young Sasuke from Naruto, admiring how grumpy he was in his youth. And finally Shippuden Sakura is with Boruto Sasuke, a Sasuke that totally accepts and displays his feelings for Sakura.

Shinachiku

What sets the NaruSaku fandom apart from most non-canon ships, however, is the creation of a fanon child, Uzumaki Shinachiku. His name originates from an interview that series creator Masashi Kishimoto gave prior to the release of the movie «Road to Ninja», a semi-canonical, hint-filled movie. When asked what the name of Naruto’s and Sakura’s child would be, Kishimoto answered «Shinachiku». The fandom took this and spun it into a web of fanon centered around this fictional son. This has allowed the fandom to move on in a positive way.

Shinachiku’s portrayal often depends on the writer. Most often, his personality is depicted as being similar to his grandfather Minato’s, but with his mother’s temper.

A second fanchild was created, Hanami, who sometimes has her father’s knuckle-headed personality.

While some fans will use Shinachiku to bash Naruto’s canon son Boruto, others prefer to imagine them becoming friends.

4 They Went All The Way

This artist may be featured a few times in this list for their amazing SasuSaku fanart. This image in particular shows fans the entire journey Sasuke and Sakura have made. Their hands represent their feelings towards one another. For example, in the first image, Sakura is grabbing onto Sasuke but her holding is not reciprocated.

As time goes on, the two get closer and closer (and at some points further) to showcase what is going on in their minds. It even showcases the moment at the end of Naruto Shippuden when Sasuke catches Sakura from falling, a moment every SasuSaku fan went crazy for. That was the moment that hope for the pairing to end up together was re-sparked.

Fandom

The pairing is one of the most popular pairings in Naruto. This is because of their interactions over the course of the series that shippers took as potentially romantic. The manga’s ending is a source of disgust for the fandom. Since Naruto and Sakura ended up with different people, the fandom focuses their ire on both ships. «NaruHina» is probably the biggest rival, followed by SasuSaku. They accuse both pairings of being poorly executed; NaruHina because of their lack of interaction, and SasuSaku, which they accuse of being abusive. Another rivalry is with Sasuke x Naruto, but that rivalry mostly died down after the ending of the show.

The fandom and pairing are the target of abuse from «Pro-enders», accusing the ship of being «toxic» or abusive. This goes against their on-screen/page interactions, which are, for the most part, friendly, although Sakura has hit Naruto as a source of comedy. However, these instances have been exaggerated. They are also mocked for being unhappy with the manga’s ending, as if this was somehow a bad thing on its own. For the most part, Naruto x Sakura fans just want to be left alone, preferring to support their ship and share fannish content, or express their disdain for the canon pairings within their own circle.

1 Their Secret

Cj seems to be the master of SasuSaku fanart, and this is just another example of that mastery. Cj made this short comic for a fanzine compiled of SasuSaku fanart. It shows a young Team 7 at dinner together,  Naruto and Kakashi sit one side of the table, with Sasuke and Sakura on the other side. Sakura shyly attempts to touch Sasuke’s hand with her own. their pinkies touch and she blushes. But it seems like, after a moment, Sasuke decides to hold the girl’s hand fully, under the table, surprising her and causing her to blush immensely. Cj always knows exactly how to capture that «childhood crush realized» feeling between these two and it is wonderful. You can follow her main account, @ceejurs.

2 Alone

Another beautiful piece done by @ni23ku, this piece shows a sweet kiss between the pair that is totally romantic. This is after Sasuke loses his arm already, but he decides to hold her with the one hand he does have. It is also easy to tell by Sakura’s stance that she is shy and bashful of the kiss. Sasuke seems to be much more confident in his approach. It also seems like the two are in their house in the leaf village together. With Sasuke wearing a cloak, it is possible he is about to leave to go on a mission, and this is a goodbye kiss. Or perhaps he just came back, and this is a welcome home greeting between the two.
