As a certified Sasuke Stan could you tell me what Sasuke did, like, wrong? There’s that scene in next gen where Sasuke is like orochimaru I can’t believe you’re not locked up and oro is like you should be too. But how on earth has Sasuke done anything on par with him? He captured bee and killed danzo? That’s it? And only one of those things can be held against him? He doesn’t deserve this.

[[ This is subjective, but although they are different crimes, both, within the naruto universe, aka “not my opinion”, usually warrant the person being locked up. I don’t agree with the reasons they would want Sasuke locked up, and frankly, the Leaf Village needs to kiss Sasuke’s ass for the genocide of his clan, they can’t for a second think Sasuke owes them anything.

But we’re operating on the village’s and villager’s logic, not mine. 

Say, a person commits a robbery, and another commits a murder. Both of those are punishable  by jail time. Even though they are different crimes. 

When Sasuke mentions to Orochimaru that he should be locked up, he means for the crimes he knows about. Kidnapping, experimentation, betraying his village, attacking his village, killing the Third, etc. All of these crimes within Naruto’s context easily constitute jail time and even execution. 

When Orochimaru mentions that Sasuke should also be locked up, he definitely means the crimes that other people think Sasuke should be in jail for. He abandoned his village (seen as being a traitor), joined up with Orochimaru (a known traitor), joined Akatsuki and worked with them, attacked a village and tried to kill its Jinchuuriki, and threatened war against the Leaf Village. Danzo was never outed as the person who orchestrated the massacre, so sadly, killing Danzo is counted against Sasuke. 

Orochimaru and Sasuke haven’t done the same types of things, no…but the universe still considers those crimes punishable by jail. In chapter 627, Kakashi mentions Sasuke is a nuke-nin. The punishment for Nuke-nin is automatically death. This is all used to say Sasuke should be incredibly grateful he hasn’t been killed or imprisoned.

An awkward attempt to gain self-preservation; Pale eyes sweep across the room, purposefully away from his stature. While the eldest always appeared respectfully detached, his presence dominated any room she stood. This making it more apparent that she failed to assess what room this was– or much of anything else. “W-would you please spare me a moment to.. to c-collect, mm-myself?” And while she needed the aid, he was a man and in thus– absolutely improper.

“Ah- yes.” That feels like a much better solution than helping with his hands, actually.  It’s clear he doesn’t know what to do, and the woman asking for time relieves him of the duty. He removes his hands at once, keeping them within her sight, should she look forward. 

Father didn’t say anything about a Hyuuga clanswoman being here– neither did any of the more talkative clan members… it leaves him right stumped as he exits, debating whether he should stay for her call or simply see himself elsewhere.

But it’s that internal battle which ultimately simply leaves him just outside the door.

A strange noise bubbles up past the Hyuuga’s lips. “Uchi-sa-sama??” pressing the thick cloth against her person. The movement causing the right side of her obi to finally give, slipping down to the floor, filling the room with a slight thud– As if to mock her current dilemma.

The honorific bothers him. No one should refer to him like that– but it is not something he will mention. At least, not yet. There are more pressing matters, such as righting her clothing and unearthing the reason why she is present in their home.

It’s now he enters, giving no tells to her disrobed state. He’s simply here to pull it up. He waits, still, for his explanation.

Appearing flushed and a tad mortified– Arms clutching at layers of expensive fabric, so tangled that she’s uncertain which to address; Worry lay in what may be exposed should she attempt to. There is also the fact that Hinata currently stood in one of the many rooms of the Uchiha-head residence.

She is an oddity, for sure.

From the obvious– her dojutsu and long, shining black hair, to the less obvious, but telling, such as the expensive kimono, something only an incredibly wealthy clan could afford. The Uchiha were not that lucky with their treasury– not so much buddy buddy with the village higher-ups.

He catches himself staring, for a moment. She looks quite vulnerable, and he tries to piece together what situation would land her here, of all places.

“Waiting for someone.” He asks, opening the door a bit.
