Their recent collaboration on Genshin Impact has brought back fond memories for the fandom. Some fans even joked about the idea that they are "together forever," recalling times when their characters were shipped together in the fandom.

This is something that is very prevalent by the end of Kishimoto's manga and has become a key aspect of their characterization, with the voice actors now seemingly getting those comparisons.

"At least one 'dattebayo' as Easter egg in his dialogues is a huge request? Come on, Hoyo, you give to Paimon the 'o Kawaii koto' and Wriothesley the 'ora ora'!" someone said.

"the relationship is so funny bro," another person said.

"I worship whoever cast them together in these roles," someone else said.

Naruto and Sasuke's friendship, with all of its ups and downs, defined the series. It was through their motivations, such as the protagonist's desire to become Hokage or Sasuke's goal to avenge the Uchiha clan, that a lot of plot points in the story developed, which is why the relationship between the voice actors has become so iconic.

"Ajaw also has that spiky hair like Naruto. Kinich has black hair like Sasuke and also looks pretty stoic - also like Sasuke. I don’t think this is a coincidence guys," someone said.

"Naruto i choose you!" another person said.

It was a nice moment for fans of the franchise, and those who are Genshin Impact players are probably going to be even more excited.
