Hatred, that's how Uchiha Sasuke used to describe his feelings towards the world, hatred that's what he felt, hatred that's what he saw and what people felt around him.
But even his devious efforts were not enough to make Naruto leave him alone or stop considering him as his friend. 
Every time Naruto tried to save him from his darkness, he used to push him away but the knucklehead ninja never backed down.
Because that's his nindo, I won't run away. I never go back on my word.
Naruto never stopped considering Sasuke as his friend, just like Sakura who never stopped loving him.
At times they hated Sasuke's actions but their hearts knew better that it was a broken boy, lost in the shadows of his massacred clan and the building hatred towards his brother. He loves so much.
Hate and love are two opposite things yet they carry the same feelings with different motives at heart. Sasuke carried both emotions for his beloved elder brother, who he thought betrayed him, their clan, and his parents.
Carrying such powerful emotions from such a young age, turned Sasuke into a selfish, revenge-hungry, and isolated person. He pushed away his love for Itachi by letting his hate overpower his heart in an attempt to forget the person he used to admire so much.
That attempt was successful, but at what cost?
It cost me everything, Sasuke thought solemnly.
Naruto and Sakura will always be there for him, no doubt but the damage has been done, scars marked deep in the soul of that one girl he wanted to run away from because she scared him.
The feelings she made him feel, scared him to the point that he knew- she was his biggest weakness. That added more to the reasons why he should push her away and pretend that his love for her never existed. It just vanquished in the form of his hatred towards his brother.
But now everything was crashing down on him after being brought into the light, which he refused to acknowledge earlier.
Naruto beat sense into his blindsided best friend, even if it cost him his arm. He'll gladly do that again.
Sasuke can't be more grateful for a friend like Naruto that he feels ashamed to even look him in his eyes after everything he did. With gratitude, the debt in his heart for Naruto's action seems to be increasing as well.
The bruised and wounded hands, fitted perfectly together forming a unison sign as they undid the infinite Tsukuyomi cast upon the world.
The bandages unfurled themselves, as the branches broke and fell. People were raised from their slumber questioning reality but one look at each other and they knew, they have won the fourth great shinobi war.
After everyone was released from the jutsu Kakashi took Naruto to help him balance while standing, leaving Sakura with Sasuke. 
Sakura looked at him under her eyelashes, only to find him already looking at her with a soft look she couldn't decipher.
She nudged her eyes towards Naruto and Kakashi silently asking if they can also go now if he was okay.
Sasuke nodded, attempting to stand but failed miserably as Sakura came to his rescue. She placed his weak arm over her shoulder, helping him balance on his feet like Naruto.
"Daijōbu?". Sakura asked, eyeing the Uchiha who looked deadbeat.
"Hn". Sasuke replied, leaning on Sakura.
