I seriously don't know how the insult that was commented in one of my rant chapters happened appeared in Tumblr, someone probably took a screenshot of the person calling SS pros swallowing motherfucking pieces of shit and probably sent it to someone and plus it appeared on Instagram wtf is going this far to share what's going on in wattpad.

I don't know where people got the idea of Sasuke never contacting Sakura during his absence and why are people assuming this must have been the case?

Was it stated anywhere that he didn't send Sakura letters?

That he never called? That he and Sakura never saw each other? Because I don't remember reading anything like that.

The plot is all about Sarada and Sakura explaining why Sasuke can't come back, but we never really heard Sakura's side of the story.

As far as I remember, it was only said that Sarada didn't remember seeing her father, she didn't remember in seeing her father, due to Sasuke trying to protect the village and his wife and kid.

His mission was confidential and he probably never returned to the village during those years due to safety reasons or whatever.

Maybe he didn't want his daughter outside the gates since she is very vulnerable and the potential target of enemies but it obviously doesn't apply for Sakura.

Please, if she was able to beat the hell out of the a threat so bad that he needed to have surgery to stay alive, then it's pretty obvious she can take care of herself.

And it is canon Sasuke is aware of her strength and abilities, that's why he said his wife is not a weak woman, I find it funny that Naruto is scared of no one but Sakura.

If Naruto, the Hokage, could leave his post in the village and go see him, and it wasn't a clone like in the SP version, then I don't see any reason why Sakura couldn't.

Furthermore, we only know Sarada's version of the story which is what Sarada think she knows or what she remembers, and she is still a child.

Notice how all adults were acting like nothing was out of ordinary what I believe wouldn't be the case if they hadn't heard from Sasuke since who knows how long.

Not everything needs to be explicitly said in the story because you can read it between the lines- from characters' behaviour and their interactions.

Gaiden timelines is definitely messed up but Naruto implied they had been in touch.

Do you really believe that Sasuke had been in touch with Naruto and even Shikmarau but at the same time he never contacted his own wife?

Seriously? Also, consider the fact that Sakura isn't some random woman- she's one of the most important people in the village, she's involved in all of this not because she's Sasyke wife but due to her status as a ninja, neo sannin (ero is the older sannin and neo is the new sannins btw).

She isn't someone you would keep in the dark, regardless of her being married to Sasuke or not.

They all know about The Tower what indicates that it was probably their meeting point with Sasuke and Sakura wasn't privy to that knowledge; she immediately knew where she should go.

Also, personally I believe Sarada recognised Sasuke's hawk, which could mean that it wasn't the first time she had seen it. But I suppose this one it's up to interpretation so I leave it for now.

But honestly, did Sasuke and Sakura act like people who hadn't seen each other in years?

Because I got different impression when I saw them interacting in Gaiden. Sakura was fully aware of what Sasuke had been doing and knew the exact details of his actions.

And what did Sasuke say when Sarada confronted him? "Did something happen?" He was clearly surprised and confused.

Do you think he's a fool he had no idea how his wife and daughter had been doing during all this time?

He can be many things but...idiot? He's definitely not.

To sum things up, there's no ultimate proof, meaning it wasn't explicitly said in the story, that they had been in touch, or that they had seen each other during those years.

But there are lots of things implying that it was the case, rather that not.

So why is everyone assuming otherwise and listening to what some antis or SP have to say, I have no idea.
