Well, those of you who are observant might remember that we got a taste of older!Sasuke way back in the third volume of the manga.

So, I just want to know, which one do you like better? ^_^

This one?



OR this one?



In the first one, I find it peculiar that he's wearing a Konoha headband, thus indicating that he's still a loyal ninja, but he has a giant snake, indicating that he learned from Orochimaru. Or the whole picture could just be an AU doodle that Kishimoto came up with at 3 AM. And then he just threw it into the manga for fun >.>

Then of course we have the "real" timeskip Sasuke... showing oh so much more skin.

In both pics, he has a sword. Kishimoto draws Sasuke with swords a lot though... SasukexSword = Kishimoto's OTP o.o

Kishimoto always draws his characters AU-Like. I think that's just for fun.

Snake!Sasuke looks a little like Hiei to me... but I don't actually watch YuYu Hakusho XD

I prefer snake!Sasuke's sword to TJ!Sasuke's sword actually...

Kishimoto is always portraying his character's in au situations, it's true. I think it's fun and interesting.

Sasuke is the name of one of the Sanada nins, he was proficient with a sword - it makes sense that Kishimoto would portray him that way.

^_____^

I think the snake in the first one means he'll stay the anti-hero. Going to the dark places to get power to protect his loved ones.

The second one is more h0rish with the skin and all, so I go for that one.

I like showing-some-skin!Sasuke better ... even if the belt-rope-thing is slightly more than phallic.

SasukexSword = Kishimoto's OTP
^ I agree. SasukexSword = one sexy time XD

As for which I like better.... snake!Sasuke's outfit doesn't make him look fat or pregnant. Then again, TJ!Sasuke shows off skin the fangirls nosebleed to see.

Either way, it's good *____*

Snake!Sasuke plays the harmonica.

There are no two ways about it. The first one wins.

(And yes, I know that's not really a harmonica, but you wouldn't begrudge a girl a laugh, would you?)

...oh, hard choice.


First one... it's ribbon-tastic!

The first one gives off more of a ninja feel so I'm going to go with it...

I prefer "real" timeskip!Sasuke, and SasukexSword OTP ftw.

This is interesting, actually. The fact Sasuke suddenly carries a sword has been quite a fancy for Kishimoto. Sasuke's name is from a (possibly not real) legendary Japanese ninja guy, right? Maybe that has something to do with it.

The big snake thing makes me feel claustrophobic XD

the first one is nicer imo, he looks more ninja-ish. Maybe he'll look like that when/if he ends up back at konoha.

I think the first one is just something fun Kishimoto wanted to try out... like the chuunin/jounin Naruto one ^^;;;; Not neccessarily older Sasuke... he still looks his age there o-O

In the first image he also has a bow tied around his waist... it must be a habit or something. (but at least it's better than a pool noodle)

Thanks for posting these! <3

Pardon this post but...

What exactly does the term "AU" mean?
Some sort of fan service Alter.....Alternate Universe....zomg I think I got it
=_=
Yet I'm posting anyway XD
Doesn't seem like Kishimoto strayed away too far from his original idea,hehehe.

i just noticed those things under the main clothes (undergarments?) look like snake skin. o_O;

in any case, the first one's creepier/intimidating than the second one. ;P

I like the first one better, just because he has a giant snake. And I love snakes. :3
I think he's holding a rolled-up scroll in his mouth. Besides, I would much rather have him play the kazoo than the harmonica.
~makes plans creating a kazoo with the Uchiha symbol and calling it the Sasukazoo~ >3
