It was indeed animated, but as the comment above says many scenes that showcase their love towards each other were either modified or cut out altogether.
I also ended up re-reading Naruto Original and Shippuden manga as well as rewatching the entire anime series over the last few months to compare the two, and have concluded that the animation studio has been modifying, cutting out, and basically robbing us of SasuSaku moments and their chemistry since the beginning of time
I am forever mad that the animation studio robbed us of this cuteness. As a matter of fact, they’ve been robbing us of SasuSaku moments since the beginning of time, ugh.
