~ yes, they're not gay... but most people like yaoi(boys love)... not to mention that 나루토 and Sasuke are both cute guys... maybe that's why they link them together... ^^
The people want sasuke and 나루토 together cause for all the years that 나루토 and sakura convince sasuke to go back to the konoha the people want that sasuke and 나루토 will be 프렌즈 again and imagine SasuSaku will be once again!
probably because they are cute when they are around each other? I mean, I'm not a 팬 for the SasuNaru pairing, BUT I 사랑 it when they are with each other, as in there rival relationship. The sasuke / 나루토 moments are always funny...unless it's a serious moment of course.
I reckon it's due to Naruto's infatuation towards Sasuke. The whole "I-will-save-you-no-matter-what" thing makes people think that it hints romantic innuendos and stuff. Also, Sasuke's indifference towards any girl (except Saku ;D) and his care for 나루토 is a "proof" for them that Sasu-cakes is gay. But, actually I think all those wrong conclusions is 더 많이 a Kishi's mistake. He tried to make them soooo close friends, which leaded to misunderstandings and SasuNaru fangirls squeeling everytime they are together in a panel -.-'.
I thought SS 팬 didn't do hating.. minus, SasuKarin hating..
I 사랑 SasuSaku, ok? Like if they hadn't been canon, I'd feel like I was rejected (that I know. I did that a week before 6 November, 2014) I've shipped them ever since... well, ever since I've shipped them.
But I'll make an honest confession here, I also 사랑 NaruSasu.. They're both extremely attractive young men and they're best 프렌즈 and I 사랑 야오이 a lot. I don't 사랑 NaruSasu 더 많이 than 또는 even as much as SasuSaku but it's my 초 가장 좋아하는 Sasuke pairing.
Also, in an old interview Kishi made this whole 코멘트 about a 사랑 삼각형 when he was asked why 나루토 and Sasuke had that accidental 키스 (their first kiss)... People assumed that because Sakura liked Sasuke and 나루토 liked Sakura, the third side of the 삼각형 was Sasuke liking 나루토 ...
And there's the whole I'll save Sasuke. And the whole Sasuke looking down at fainted 나루토 after their fight (like the first one to get Sasuke back). And the very close proximity when they found Orochimaru's hideout.
But hey, SasuSaku's canon..Don't worry about any ship anymore... I imagine, that Saku and Hina have little chats when their hubbies aren't around and they laugh at the whole 나루토 and Sasuke 키싱 each other (they had two)
