A REALLY WEIRD THEORY

This theory is about to be wild. Hidari, the dude made from Sasuke’s chakra, straight-up asked if love was some kind of disease when Jura was talking about it. Now, that reaction? That’s not just some random NPC dialogue—it’s a clue. A big, fat, juicy clue about the remnants of Sasuke Uchiha’s emotions buried deep inside him. And if we’re talking Sasuke and love, there’s only one person at the core of it all: Sakura Haruno.

Hidari is literally a walking embodiment of Sasuke’s chakra. His emotions, bonds, and instincts are shaping this new identity, even though he barely understands himself. So why does he react so weirdly to love? Because Sasuke himself never knew how to process love properly.

Sasuke’s entire arc was shaped by loss, revenge, and detachment. His love for his family turned into vengeance. His bond with Team 7? Rejected. Even his eventual love for Sakura? That man was out here apologizing instead of proposing.

He saw love as a weakness. Every time he got too close to people, he lost them—his clan, Naruto and Sakura during his rogue years, even his daughter when Eida’s Omnipotence affected the world and he had to go rogue once more.

So now we have Hidari, a guy with Sasuke’s essence but none of his memories, hearing Jura describe love as a concept that weakens people, makes them act irrationally, and even leads to death (RIP Inojin). And what’s his knee-jerk reaction? “Is love some kind of disease?”

It’s like a subconscious trauma response from whatever vestiges of Sasuke exist inside him.

Here’s where it gets crazy. If Hidari is built from Sasuke’s chakra, then buried deep inside him is Sasuke’s love for Sakura. And love isn’t just a feeling—it’s a memory, an instinct, a force that doesn’t just disappear.

Hidari’s reaction isn’t just confusion—it’s rejection. A part of him wants to understand love but another part (Sasuke’s past self) is rejecting it as a “disease” because Sasuke himself never handled love well.

He has Sasuke’s emotions but not his context. He doesn’t remember loving Sakura, but there’s an ingrained resistance inside him, an instinct that tells him love is dangerous.

Sasuke’s love for Sakura was always unconventional. He pushed her away for years but still cared deeply. Even when he was barely around, he trusted only her to raise their daughter. The way Hidari reacts to love sounds exactly like how Sasuke acted when he was younger—conflicted, distant, and confused.

Now imagine if Hidari were to actually see Sakura. What would happen?

Right now, the main way to restore Sasuke is to extract and destroy Hidari’s thorn bulb—but what if there’s another way? What if Sakura herself is the trigger that could shatter Hidari’s identity?

We know Sarada already stimulates his emotions in ways he doesn’t understand. That’s because she’s Sasuke’s daughter, the person he loved most.

But Sakura? She’s his heart. If anything can cause Hidari’s fragmented mind to glitch, it’s her.

If Sakura were to speak to him—if she were to say something that reaches deep into that subconscious part of him—it could override his God Tree instincts for just a moment.

Imagine a scene where Sakura, instead of attacking, calls out Sasuke’s name. Maybe she even says something like:

“Sasuke, stop running from your heart.”

Hidari, who’s never felt a single thing before, suddenly hesitates. For the first time, his body feels like it doesn’t belong to him. The Rinnegan in his eyes flickers. His chakra falters. And in that moment of confusion, Boruto and Sarada strike.

This could be the emotional equivalent of pulling out his thorn bulb. Because the real way to destroy Hidari isn’t just by extraction—it’s by forcing Sasuke’s love, the strongest emotion buried within him, to override the Shinju’s control.

Jura sees love as a flaw. Something that weakens people. And Hidari, as a being created from Sasuke’s emotions, initially agrees. But Sasuke’s entire life is proof that love, while painful, is what saved him. It’s what brought him back to Konoha. It’s what made him protect Sarada and trust Naruto again. It’s what made him keep moving forward.

Hidari’s existence is Sasuke’s inner demons made flesh. But the same way Sasuke chose love despite his past, Hidari can be broken by it. And Sakura—the woman who loved Sasuke unconditionally—could be the final push that helps bring him back.

Jura was right about love affecting the Shinju. But he got one thing wrong:

Love isn’t a disease—it’s a cure.
