The truth is, Kishimoto wanted Sasuke and Naruto ended up together. But, the editors didn't allow him to do that. Besides, same sex relationship was not really acceptable back then. He said that there is no love triangle between Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura, only a circle(like fish biting its own tail.)😆😆
It’s does though sasunaru have more chemistry then sasusaku and sasunaru would have been canon they just didn’t accept same sex relationship in Japan back then
