Aside from desire, resentment and loyalty, there were things that happened that only partly concerned Naruto, but the truth is that it was he who influenced them in one way or another. This directly related to one incident that happened that day between Sakura and Sasuke.
Even before Naruto started training Tsunade, the scandal in the Uchiha house turned into a real mayhem...
The entire kitchen was reduced to rubble with just one blow from Sakura. This scene was horrific, filled with sadness and resentment...
The enraged kunoichi breathed heavily and looked at her stricken husband with tears in her eyes. Sasuke had no idea what came over her. He was in complete bewilderment and tried to calm her down, to understand the reason, but this only added fuel to the fire.
Sakura suddenly started blaming him and then exploded...
As a result, everything came to this ...
"You don't listen to me at all!" she screamed furiously, with a tremor in her chest, fear in her heart, but confidence in her eyes.
Her determination was intimidating...
Covered in dust and doused with water, Sasuke tried to control himself and quickly end this:
"Sakura, what's wrong with you?" His cold tone tinged with annoyance. "Haven't we already discussed this? What are you doing here?
Certainly not what he expected when he returned home to his family...
Sasuke hated arguing and swearing, and also knew that his wife was not the most calm person, so he did not even show concern, acting, as always, unemotional. No wonder Sakura reacted like that...
- What did I do? Is that what you did?! She wasn't going to let him get away with it anymore. In her tone, one could hear resentment, disappointment and a painful desire to resolve their relationship once and for all!
"I don't understand..." Sasuke frowned. He really didn't understand. After all, he wasn't even in the village, what could he possibly do? Besides, Sakura had never behaved like that with him. Where did that tender and sweet girl go? It was too weird!
"Everything was fine, so why did you...
- Why?! In tears, the kunoichi grabbed the first frying pan she found and threw it hard at his head!
Sasuke dodged easily... At the same moment, a chill shone in his dark eyes.
- You...
Dishes crashed into the wall!
But the angry girl didn't stop there...
Who do you take me for? Who am I to you?! You... You... Her voice trembled, "He was right... You don't care, do you?!
- What? He? Who is he?! Explain it right! Sasuke stepped forward and tried to touch her to calm her down, but Sakura clearly had no intention of letting him take control. Waving his one arm away, she whimpered and growled.
- You do not love me! You don't care at all! On me, on Sarada... On all of us! You don't care about anything but yourself!
"What nonsense..." Sasuke was already beginning to boil. "What the hell are you talking about?"
- What I heard! You understand everything! Enough home-based scoff! Sakura's lips trembled, she stepped back again and whispered:
"How can you… After everything…"
"Sakura… If you don't calm down now…"
- And then what?! What?! What will you do?! - the girl was furious again: - Hit me?! Well come on! Have you wanted this for a long time?
She seemed to be deliberately provoking him to do at least something ...
— Brad! Is your head wrong? Why should I...
But, he suddenly cut off his words ...
— S-sakura?
Tears suddenly flowed from the girl's eyes. They flowed non-stop, and then, she collapsed to her knees and sobbed:
"Why… Why is all this happening… Oooh…"
She herself regretted that she had begun this abuse ... But she could no longer retreat ...
"Sakura..." Sasuke's fingers twitched as he again tried to reach out and comfort her, but...
"S-sasuke…" A fluttering whisper suddenly came out and made him stop…
"Y-you… did you even love me?"
"Wh-what…" He suddenly froze.
There was so much pain and sadness in those words that he just couldn't... Sasuke's chest constricted.
In that moment, time seemed to stop for both of them...
Sakura lifted her reddened eyes and looked at him wistfully, like a lost kitten.
"P-please... Sasuke... Tell me... Do you love... Do you love me?" At least a little... - she cried and whispered, begging him: - If... If this is so, then please... At least this time, stay... After all, I... I can't do this anymore...
After these words, it seemed that all the strength left her. Sakura waited, looking for something in his eyes with sincere hope...
But...
"Wh-what are you..." Sasuke didn't know what to say. In his eyes did not flash what she was waiting for ...
He had never seen her like this before... All in tears, she was on her knees and asked for this...
The outstretched fingers of the single hand twitched again. Sasuke wasn't reaching out to her anymore. The palm slowly lowered. It seemed as if his strength had left him.
It became unbearably difficult for him to look into her eyes.
The long-awaited answer was lost in the suffocating silence...
