In the anime Naruto, Naruto and Sasuke can be said to be the protagonists of this anime, so there will inevitably be some friction between the two people, in the anime, Sasuke and Naruto have actually met many times, especially the two battles in the Valley of the End that are the most impressive.
In the first battle in the Valley of the End, Sasuke Uchiha can be said to have narrowly defeated Naruto Uzumaki, although he defeated Naruto, but Sasuke can also be said to have exhausted all his strength, later, this anime also became Naruto's chase battle against Sasuke, and the battle between the two of them directly spanned to the end of the anime, a super battle in the Valley of the End.
However, before the battle began, there was a small episode, that is, Sakura was ready to intervene, but Sasuke directly cast the magic, but with Sakura's strength, it was not a grade for Sasuke and Naruto, why did Sasuke attack Sakura with magic?
Sakura has always had a deep affection for Sasuke since she was a child, no matter what happens, Sakura will choose to side with Sasuke, when Sasuke leaves Kiba, Sakura even wants to leave together, you can see how much Sakura has a deep affection for Sasuke, and Sasuke as a member of the Uchiha clan, he can't be delicate without noticing this.
Therefore, Sasuke must have understood Sakura's feelings for him, but Sasuke was trying to get revenge, so it was impossible to accept Sakura's feelings for him, and at the last moment of the Ninja War, Sasuke was almost able to fulfill his wish, so he did not allow anyone to influence him.
For Sasuke, the hardest thing to let go of is actually only a few people, except for his parents and Uchiha Ferret, the only ones left are a few people in the seventh class, and Sakura, as a member of the seventh class, is also deeply in love with Sasuke, and it is impossible for Sasuke to have no feelings for Sakura.
In the final battle, Sasuke knew that he could not be disturbed by external factors, and there was only one thing he had to do, that is, to defeat Naruto, and then reorganize the ninja world according to his own ideas, and reformulate the rules of the ninja world that belonged to him.
But Sasuke didn't want to kill those innocent people, and Sakura was one of them, so Sasuke just cast a magic spell on Sakura, that is, the illusion of killing Sakura himself, the purpose was actually very simple, that is, to make Sakura despair of himself and give up his attachment to himself.
It is estimated that Sasuke also did not think well, if he really defeated Naruto, how to face Sakura when he came back, when he saw Sakura again, Sasuke was going to say something to her, it is estimated that Sasuke's heart is also a fog, and at this time, Sasuke should also have feelings for Sakura.
From the fact that Sasuke finally left the village and poked Sakura's forehead with his hand, it can be seen that Sasuke must have liked Sakura in his heart, after all, this is the best way for Sasuke to express his love, and it seems a little unreasonable to make Sasuke like Sakura just because of a fight.
Therefore, Sasuke's purpose in casting magic on Sakura before the final battle was obvious, he was very worried that Sakura would affect his mentality, after all, it was the person he liked in his heart, he did not want Sakura to suffer any harm in this battle, nor did he want Sakura to affect himself, so he chose to cast magic on Sakura.
In your opinion, why did Sasuke end up performing a magic spell on Sakura?
