Naruto and Sakura's love is completely one-sided for the entire story

Naruto and Sakura's love is completely one-sided for the entire story

Naruto has to eventually give up on her and accept that she'll never love him back

Sakura and Sasuke's love is completely one-sided for the entire story

They eventually end up together, marry and have a kid

So uh, what was the message here supposed to be?

naruto isn't a romance manga

Those one sided crushes added not only added nothing to the story, it actively made their characters less likeable.

Sasuke was right about everything.

Women should never give up on their bad boy criminal crushes even if it destroys their life and the lives around them or else they're a bad person.

that kishimoto is a bad writer who resorted to retcons

boruto won

All of the simps in Naruto lost. Jiraya did not get with Tsunade, Rin literally tried to confess to Kakashi after Obito sacrificed himself and Naruto had to be retconed to actually not be in love with Sakura.

Sakura and Sasuke's love is completely one-sided for the entire story

It wasn't? Just because it's bad doesn't make it one-sided.

That moving on and letting someone who loves you into your heart is the far healthier and happier path.
(but holding out for someone who's kind but just oblivious to your feelings can be rewarding if you need time to work on your own self-esteem)

Loving someone who hurts and doesn't prioritize you is beautiful in it's own tragic way if you're serious about it, but you're accepting a lonely life and setting your children up for emotional dysfunctions

Kill yourself narutard.

If I recall correctly, Sasuke was asking "what did Sakura tell you" in regards to the training tips she gave to Naruto. It had nothing to do with him crushing on her.

Wasn't that first one because he was embarrassed to be admitting to Naruto he needed advice?

liking a girl means you're a "simp"

Go back to Xitter, Narutard.

I'll admit that one is a reach and I'm too lazy to edit it out.

what was the message here supposed to be?

Pinkshit lost

Obsession is a good thing, if you get obsessed for somebody then you going to catch her/his love but only if you become the most obsessed with Him/her. It's so toxic message as any roncom.

then what's the point of the romance

Based.

If you insist on romantically loving someone that doesn't give you the time of day, then you're a simp.

This image gets funnier when you remember that Sasuke gets home right after that scene.

Anon, I hate giving him the reason But he is right. Naruto's Male characters are pathetic; uninterested in women or simps. Hell, the nearest female to Naruto after Sakura was Ino and he almost no talked with her. Even when Sakura rejected him several times or talked shit about him.

Hell, the nearest female to Naruto after Sakura was Ino

Kenchi...

No anon, think about it, Hinata never had a normal
talk with him until the last Naruto movie. Tsunade and shizune doesn't count because they are his bosses. And I don't remember a canon scene where tent en talked with him.

This image gets funnier when you remember that it might be a shadow clone.

Sunken but not forgotten

Hinata never had a normal

talk with him until the last Naruto movie
Speedreading the chunin exams of all arcs?

lost

most sakurafags shipped her with sasuke so she actually won. they never wanted her with naruto despite him being the main character because sasuke was the coveted one in canon

handsome

bad boy

multiple girls wanted him

meanwhile the only girl who wanted naruto in canon was hinata

The message was to be a complete and utter faggot and Naruto fans obeyed.

Kishimoto is based. The cucks never beat the CHADs.

The only possible way that Naruto could have had a good romance is if Kishimoto actually let Naruto and Sasuke fuck each other.

Kishimoto basically wrote a battle shoujo.

So uh, what was the message here supposed to be?

That Sakura ended up effectively becoming a single mother and Naruto became the fucking president of ninjas with a hot wife with big tits and TWO legitimate children to her one bastard baby

So uh, what was the message here supposed to be?

just pandering to the shippers, Naruto has a massive female fanbase that self-insert as the pink femcel

Those females would have preferred this

can't do that in a shonen manga!

She's realizing she could have been getting Naruto 2K barrage gang banged by a man with unbelievable stamina boosted by demon energy and instead she has to use her vibrator alone in her bed every night while her husband treks the globe doing errands for the guy she denied.

Mfw

The message is to love Sasuke. Naruto loves Sasuke. Sakura loves Sasuke. Kakashi loves Sasuke. Karin loves Sasuke. Suigetsu loves Sasuke. Jugo loves Sasuke. Ino loves Sasuke.

But Naruto is canonically a dicklet.
I also doubt he has any libido after becoming kage.

You mean Uchiha. The whole series is basically build upon much how you can tolerate Kishimoto's OC donut steel clan of black hole sue.

Hell, the nearest female to Naruto after Sakura was Ino and he almost no talked with her.

Wdym, I don't think him and Ino ever even interacted.

Shitnata fags need to realize Naruto wanted to abandon her and join Sasuke’s decade-long mission.

Gaiden really is nothing but forced drama thrown together to get any semblance of a story.

Itachi is still praised for massacring them and Madara uncritically accepts Tobirama’s idea that all Uchiha are basically mentally ill.

most sakurafags shipped her with sasuke so she actually won

Lmao, no. Remember the massive shitstorm sakurafags had when it was revealed that Naruto ended up with Hinata in The Last instead of her. It was so bad that one of Kishimoto's assistants had to tell them to fuck off.

meanwhile the only girl who wanted naruto in canon was hinata

Ino said that she was falling for him at the end of the Pain arc.
This post is pure cope.

They didn't.

The Itachi dicksucking by the manga and fanbase is the worst thing to ever come out of Naruto.

Don't care, still ship it

Yeah, the whole """romance""" between Sasuke and Sakura in Boruto is fucking weird.

dumps a baby in pinkshit

leaves for the cigarette store, doesn't return or get in contact with pinkshit for >10 years

Sarada lived in a single mom household and never even knew what her dad looked like before the Shin arc

this is treated as true love

these seething replies

kek

Sasuke put a hole in Karin and never spoke a single word to Ino for 16 years and they’re both still obsessed with him. The moral of Naruto is to love and forgive Sasuke.

All Uchiha characters. Itachi, Madara and Obito all went against their clan, and were still among the most popular characters.

Don't forget Tenten, Temari and Mei too when they first met him. Other than Hinata, there is barely any women their age who didn't simp for him.

they’re both still obsessed with him

Are you talking about Shippuden or Boruto? Is Ino still obsessed with Sasuke even in Boruto?

Shartruro can’t even fuck his wife or attend his daughter’s birthday because he’s too busy doing paperwork, saying Sakura “curved” Naruto exposes you as a crying self-inserter cuck

Remember the massive shitstorm sakurafags had when it was revealed that Naruto ended up with Hinata in The Last instead of her.

NSfags were never the majority of the Sakura fandom

Ino said that she was falling for him at the end of the Pain arc.

This was filler.

Didn’t this guy put on 300 LBS and get arrested?

“Obsessed” is a strong word but she apparently befriended him after the manga ended. Kishimoto wrote this, so it’s canon.

Owari no Seraph exists, and given how modern shonen is appealing less and less to it's primary audience of teenagle males for a much broader audience, it's inevitable there will be more shonen with openly gay protagonist in the future.

NSfags were never the majority of the Sakura fandom

This is pure cope.

Kishi made a joke about it in gaiden when Ino tried to talk to Sasuke but was comically interrupted by Sarada.

most popular hetero pairing in the fandom was sasusaku then narusaku then naruhina, this while the manga was ongoing but naruhina was slowly rising in popularity thanks to her confession (which happened pretty late in the story desu). if narusaku really was the majority of the sakura fandom then the sakura fandom would have died with the ending but its thriving to this day because the ACTUAL most popular pairing happened aka sasusaku and sasusaku mogged every other pairing when it came to popularity

Not everything needs a message you fucking pseud, it's a story and things just happen as they would in real life

Your personal experience doesn't reflect what happens in the rest of the world.

Ber naruto Sasuke had more than all of those combined

NSfags were never the majority of the Sakura fandom

Kek
The only people who like Pinkshit are simps who fantasize about her being their girlfriend, and more often than not these people are also Naruto are self inserters. That's why you keep hearing that stupid "I-I don't hate the character, I just hate the way she was written!!" phrase whenever people discuss her.
Literally everyone else hates her because of how much a shitty character she is. Female fans especially hate her because she represents the worst women stereotypes out there.

Kishi made team 7s dynamic a love triangle which was a horrendous idea and left barely any room for them to develop when there was no interest(or ability on kishi's part) for a real romance to spring forth. So we're left with this toxic trio that doesn't mesh well at all and shouldn't have been put together.

its really easy for a crazy obsessive girl to get a emo quiet boy

i mentioned hetero in the my post but people tend to hype up narusasu's popularity within the fanbase who consists of mainly men and women who ship hetero. most women shipped the hetero pairings because most women who read naruto love sakura lol

Literally everyone else hates her

lol she's the most popular female character going by the worldwide poll, cope harder

official canon pairing has more works than hypothetical pairing that has fanmade children

also uses a random bullshit site as "evidence"

You're retarded if you don't realise why your arguments make no sense.

most women shipped the hetero pairings because most women who read naruto love sakura lol

You're actually retarded if you think that lmao

Also the scene where Sasuke thanks Sakura before leaving was voted best moment in part 1 in a Japanese poll.

I like Sakura but that poll is a bad metric because Shisui topped it. She’s the female MC, of course she’s the most popular.

main female character that gets the most screentime compared to the other females from a series with mostly male readers wins the most popularity polls

this is surprising

I literally never met a (real) woman that said she likes Sakura. Most of them hate her.
Also your screenshots from a random japanese website prove nothing.
You're a moron.

Those Sakura self inserters usually ship her with characters more handsome than Naruto.
Again, a Group of people being vocal doesn't make them the majority.

Not really, autistic retards like you tend to relate to Naruto more.

random bullshit site

lol what? pixiv was the hotspot for artists while the manga was running and fan content is ones of the easiest ways to gauge a characters or ships popularity

official canon pairing has more works

you're ignoring how little naruhina has compared to sasusaku...

lol the worldwide poll proves me right, the most dedicated sakura artists also being women who love sasusaku also proves me right, women LOVE sakura

I literally never met a (real) woman that said she likes Sakura. Most of them hate her.

lol there are so many foids on twitter who love sakura, most of her dedicated artists are women

from a random japanese website prove nothing.

random

imagine not knowing pixiv lol

Are all pinkshitter as retarded and pathetic as you?

you're ignoring how little naruhina has compared to sasusaku

And you're ignoring that Sakura is a main character unlike Hinata.

lol the worldwide poll proves me right

main character gets the most votes from desperate simps that means real women like her

Pathetic cope, lmao.

I like how Kishimoto called sakura’s crush on sausage “totally arbitrary” then a decade later had Kakashi beg him to love her. He had time to waste on a second shikamaru love interest, but the love between main characters? Who knows, “it’s stronger”.

And you're ignoring that Sakura is a main character unlike Hinata.

lol so? a character doesnt need to be a main one to be super popular. naruhina is well-liked within the fanbase but it never reached the popularity heights of sasusaku which was popular from the start. you just don't get that sasusaku is also a product of its time when good girl x bad boy was insanely popular

that means real women like her

lol go to twitter and see who defends sakura, its always foids. look at who her dedicated artists are and you'll see its foids. if you deny this then you're denying reality

pixiv

try self hosted websites and DA instead

Itachi having an invincible shield and an unstoppable sword really was bullshit.
If he was a real bad guy, Sasuke would have zero chance in beating him, even the Sasuke during the battle with Naruto at the end of the series would struggle against those Yata and Totsuka.

ao3, weibo, fanfcition.net...doesnt matter the site, sasusaku always comes out the most popular naruto pairing lol

yes this is true

Sus married Pinkshit but he barely ever spends time with her
Also I have no idea why Boruto acts like shadowclones don't count, why the fuck would they not count

Kishimoto is a homosexual and a misogynist of the absolute highest order. He doesn't believe in love between men and women and believes marriage is purely a social contract for the perpetuation of family names and bloodlines.

Not sure how you square that circle when Naruto and Hinata is pure vanilla lovey dovey shit

is most popular female character going by the worldwide poll

MUH BOTTED

sasusaku scene is voted favorite scene

MUH BOTTED

anytime sakura or sasusaku win any sort of twitter poll

MUH BOTTED

sasusaku and sakura have the most dedicated artists in the fanbase bar none

THAT DOESNT COUNT

sasusaku has the most fan content

T-THAT DOESNT COUNT

i don't get it, why deny reality? you don't have to like her but she is loved by many especially in asia, look at this sakura festival held back in 2019 in china

Male NSfags

Those aren't actual Sakurafags then, also completely irrelevant to the topic since they aren't self-inserting into Sakura.

Naruto and Hinata is pure vanilla lovey dovey shit

And Kishimoto wrote precisely none of it.

Shika's side piece is novelshit.

naruto offered to travel with sasuke after marrying hinata lol, he is gay af for the sauce. sauce was gay for him too but was tsundere about it. what other characters have such necklaces

I also think you're forgetting she WAS severely hated but then shippuden happened. You don't have to deny her popularity now to also realize she was such a shit character before shippuden helped her shine.

lavender marriages

not like they actually gave a shit about their kids

she WAS severely hated

she was never severely hated if we take the official polls into account. yes she got hate and kishimoto even said she did but the fanbase blew his comment out of proportion which why to this day you have people convinced that she's the most hated naruto character when in reality shes the most popular female character who has the most dedicated artists. hinata is popular too but she has nowhere near the same amount of dedicated fangirls

That's completely irrelevant to this discussion about pairings.

She absolutely was (and deservedly) the most hated character in the west.

no one cares about the west aka america you mean, she was always loved in all parts of asia

Surely you guys will stay in your designated shiptard circlejerk thread instead of shitting your pants in the regular chapter threads

Counter point: the west thought Naruto was about hardwork.

Uzumaki folk have a genetic lust for the Uchiha

Naruto's obsession with Sasuke

Karin's obsession with Sasuke

Kushina being so friendly with Obito that even Minato found it odd

I forget if there was a story explanation for this.

hardwork

LOL

before shippuden helped her shine.

Lol, I'd say Shippuden made her worse.
In part 1 the worst you could say about her is that she's useless and never does anything helpful, but in Shippuden she genuinely does vile shit like fake-confessing to Naruto, drugging her teammates and constantly obessing over a man that tried to murder her multiple times, even if she became more useful.
Literally the only time she was universally liked was in the Sasori fight. After that she started focusing on Sasuke and she immediately turned to shit.
I didn't need Kishi's input to think that she was insufferable character whose screentime mostly consists of her crying and whining about how useless she is.

It seemed like that may have been a theme early on to be fair.

a character doesnt need to be a main one to be super popular.

Yeah they do, lol. Hinata only gets like 1/8th of the screentime Sakura gets, and she isn't a villainous badass like most of the Akatsuki members, so of course she isn't gonna score high on the popularity polls.
Show the numbers for fanfic.net, then.

Nah, Kishi only wanted the readers to THINK Naruto was an underdog because he saw how people took a liking to Lee and Hinata.

Kishi is maybe the only guy around who didn't give a fuck about Lee lol

sakura is a fine character. yes her orphan comment and the ino thing was messed up but she was a kid and kids do stupid things, a lot of readers seem to forget that. she's a better person after the time skip (outside of hitting naruto which i never liked) and yeah she could have done more as in fighting but that applies to 99.9% of the cast..

Nigga, do you unironically think NS has more fics than SS?

doesnt know about the botting

lmao pinkshits

That kishi is a shit writer. Naruto still sticking to sakura, Naruto and hinata not talking even once about her confession and naruto ending up with hinata was incredibly weird. And I say this as a massive naruhina fag. I literally didn‘t watch the sasuke abducted arc, started shippudden only from the confession and watched (for the first time) sub anime, because of the naruto hinata episodes in the fillers.

she isn't a villainous badass like most of the Akatsuki members

LOL hinata being the vanilla shy nice girl was her main redeeming trait among her fans, they love that about her

i think a lot of anons are narutofags who are still sore that sakura never wanted him

cope

Botting a poll through mail?

In most shinobi teams of three in Konoha the girl was probably just a cumdump for either one of the guys or both of them

remember when the sasusaku forehead poke came out 3rd place in"top 5 scenes" in the naruto to boruto 2019 live event

That's exactly why he wanted Lee's "thunder" to go to another character.

naruto was never an underdog story and kishimoto never tried to make him an underdog cause of lee and hinata, who were both less popular than naruto. despite being an orphan with no proper training, naruto was mogging neji and standing toe to toe with sasuke by the end of the first arc. he was always special

That if you like Sakura you're a fucking retard.

No, the glasses girl is from the manga. Just a few chapters, but she’s still there.

Anon, Kishimoto definitely DID want people to think he was an underdog at some points.

As expected of sakuracucks.

Hinata is the only female strong enough to resist the uchiggers spell

My bad, I forgot about Shiho

Hello Ino/Adafag.

So uh, what was the message here supposed to be?

Be obsessed and never take "no" for an answer.

That if you like Hinata you're a fucking retard.

Have they ever even interacted

Only in Burrito.

Editor-kun says you can capture a wider audience with simple surface level adjustments. You wouldn't disagree with editor-kun would you? He saved the manga from Kishimoto you know.

The movie heroines are all superior love interests for Naruto than anyone in the actual series from what I remember

i like sakura and i like hinata. i don't get the hate for either, the most you should feel for them is indifference due to the lack of fights. sakura is a pretty girl who trains hard and is loyal to the man she loves despite having multiple suitors, hinata is a pretty girl who trains hard and is loyal to the man she loves. they both work hard to gain acknowledgment from their object of affections and i don't see anything wrong with that. kishimoto never promised anything more for them, he never promised to make sakura as OP as naruto and sasuke, he never promised for hinata to lead her clan. their personal journeys have always been tied to sasuke and naruto respectively

This and that is why Ino and Sarada are the best

Shion was pure sex

Sakura was so shit both of her friends rejected her at one point so nobody but Sakura lost.

he never promised for hinata to lead her clan

But he promised through chekhov's gun that she'd be a competent ninja, which didn't happen.

Nothing Burger and Hinata+Sakura fusion with sharingan.

Blonde Hinata

Lmao

Ino was going to start a war over Sasuke’s penis

Naruto learns to give up on a one sided love

Ends up in a happy marriage and living a somewhat fulfilled life

Sakura chooses to be a woman and not realize her one sided love was retarded

Ends up a single mother

naruto self inserters still crying

naruto "rejects" sakura cause he knows she's lying about liking him but he still likes her after that incident which is why when minato asks if sakura is his gf he doesnt deny it

she's not a single mom, sasuke is simply an autist but she loves him anyways. sakura being loyal despite being able to move on with naruto, rock lee or that one ninja should be praised.

pinkshit simps still seething

pining after a girl who doesnt want him

this girl even hits him sometimes

lies to his dad

is hit again by the girl right after this scene

your chad main character sir

Only one side is seething over Sakura not giving Naruto a chance.
Lower your fucking ego.

Blonde Hinata

Yeah that's what I said, pure sex
Also her eyes are sexier

stockholm victim that could on move on with her life but chooses to stick with abuser that tried to kill her and ignored her for most of their lives (and then turns into a deadbeat dad) should be praised

Not really, no.

Dude she straight up admitted she would do anything for Sauce, theres no going back from that. Naruto could fuck Sakura as a cumrag in Boruto but actually romancing her, fuck no.

he tried to kill naruto and kakashi and countless other characters, who gives a fuck? neji also tried to kill hinata, gaara tried to kill his siblings. there are so many relationships that went through shit but sasusaku is the only one that gets flack cause its romantic. and he only tried to kill her because she attempted to kill him first. there are plenty of scenes that show he cares for her

deadbeat dad

its called being an autist

Byakugan with a different color

Sasuke isn't a deadbeat, he works for (free) a good cause, it's not their fault that Kishimoto projects his bad parenthood on Naruto and Sasuke.

but he still likes her

What part of “I hate liars” don’t you understand? Sakura is repulsive and Naruto was more interested in his emo friend for practically all of the series. The one time he actually liked her that way it quickly dissipated way before the time skip.

What part of “I hate liars” don’t you understand?

lol and this still happens after that scene. her lie didn't make his feelings disappear, we actually don't know when he stopped liking her but im going to assume its when sasuke came back to the village because sasuke returns to the village before him and hinata get close, they get close 2 years after the war iirc

She's Hinata but sexier, yes.

Kishimoto clearly stated where sasuke is and how he feels about sakura, disliking a character when there are many worse ones makes it kind of clear what your problem with sakura is

I'll be honest. Naruto still would have been shit if NaruSaku won. Its sequel would have also been shit. But that doesn't change the fact that NaruSaku is the best Naruto ship, hands down.

best naruto ship

girl hits the guy

no

Sakura is so much hotter than Hinata its not even funny, thats shes best as NTR material not wife material

Absolutely wrong. Sakura didn't deserve him at all.

Tsunade being childless is the real tragedy, the Senju direct line dies with her.

Nobody deserves anything, that's not how people work.

Koreanbro...

It's because Sakura burned so much screentime in the manga/anime. You don't remember the torture of wanting to see her do something cool when the series was still going. It was painful.

Sakura didn't respect or see Naruto as a member of the opposite sex meaning as a potential love interest, she was always emasculating him. If you consider the Boruto anime canon then the one's who won the hardest are both Sasuke and Naruto because they keep their wives in line. Shikamaru is constantly dogwalked by Temari, same with Sai and Ino.

Just because it would've been good writing for him to move on there doesn't mean it actually happened, anon.

It's fucking different because it's one-sided and Sakura has no reason to love him or to ignore all the horrid shit Sasuke does, and he never does anything to redeem himself to her. Also all of those comparisons you made are pretty stupid. Neji kept giving Hinata ways out of their match but she insisted on continuing and even goaded him. Gaara's siblings are related so they're sort of bound to him. A better example would've been Naruto's obsession with Sasuke, because that one is also extremely retarded.

Sasuke ending up with Karin would've been fine, even after everything. He clearly softens up at the end of the series, also you get your Uchiha + Uzumaki offspring, also you have a character who could be with him while he's doing his work for Konoha.

When?

That's a gag scene. That's in no way serious you retarded pinkshitter.

also you get your Uchiha + Uzumaki offspring

that's the whole point of making sarada a girl..

also you get your Uchiha + Uzumaki offspring

Is that necessary?

Hard work was never a thing for Naruto himself. He was always about muh nakama and power in unity and inspiring people.

In the Land of the Waves, what resolved the conflict? Naruto's words were able to reach Zabuza who was convinced to betray Gato and kill him. Even afterwards, Gato's men were armed and can cause trouble but Naruto's actions inspiring Inari enabled him to rally the entire town to chase those men out. Now those men would think twice before attacking Inari's people after this story arc because they've grown a massive pair of balls and now are proven willing to fight back. This wasn't hard work that solved the problem. It was individual cases of Talk no Jutsu and inspiring little kids leading to a domino effect of motivated adults who altogether team up to solve the problem. It's a combination of inspiring others and becoming strong through unity. It's present elsewhere too. Hinata was inspired by Naruto's ability to never give up and fell for him, becoming one of his greatest supporters. Konohamaru is another Konoha Shinobi whom Naruto inspired and went from prankster spoiled village leader's grandkid to a Rasengan slinger who could take down a Pain path and later trained his son. Shadow Clones are the epitome of doing more as a group than a single person can. Naruto was always muh friendship inspiring people and uniting to achieve greater goals than what can be done alone. This was all before that Six Sages' son Asura who was explicitly said to have gotten success through the help of others.

Naruto had loads of help and teachers. He didn’t invent the shadow clones, he stole that scroll. He didn’t invent the Rasengan, Minato did and Jiraya was taught him. Wind Element? That was Asuma giving pointers and Yamato/Kakashi teaching him about using more shadow clones for training. Much of Naruto’s hard work was guided and directed. If he only had hard work, he’d be running full speed with no idea where he’s heading.

gag scene

minato gives them his blessing because he took it seriously

ermmm...

That or just get with a civilian.

also you have a character who could be with him while he's doing his work for Konoha.

Sakura could be with him too, Sasuke tells her to stay at home lol

Sasuke ending up with Karin would've been fine, even after everything.

Compare his apology to Karin with the one he gave Sakura. Sakura was realistically the only one he could have married, she's the only female he felt an inkling of softness towards.

Proved my point as he remembers how angry Kushina used to get (another gag). Dumbass.

another gag

lol its not a gag? it was her personality was she was pissed

Compare his apology to Karin with the one he gave Sakura.

They're both the same, though. He just goes "sorry lol" and they immediately forgive him.

Despite her whore appearance she's loyal to her guy.

Her personality was not being angry all the time. Her being angry is almost always used for gags.

Did Naruto legalize gay marriage in Konoha after becoming the Hokage

Who are the Great Shinobi clans mentioned in that image?

when she was pissed she became a monster, that's not a gag, that's part of her character. same with how hysterical sakura gets when she's pissed

Iruka, Kakashi, Anko, Shizune, and Gai are all still single in Bort

Is it just because Kishimoto didn't hook them up with anyone in the final chapter? They're part of the previous generation, it feels weird that there are this many unmarried adults in the cast

She didn't actually turn into a monster her hair just flowed and flew around with her exaggerated face. That's a gag as it's not serious.

same with how hysterical sakura gets when she's pissed

Are you saying every time Sakura punches an ally, it's not considered a gag most of the time? Which is it with you people?

Naruto is anything but good writing come on. The one thing that was done right was Naruto tossing this she woman in the trash where she belonged I would have immediately lost all respect for him if it didn’t actually happen when she “confessed”. If the fans didn’t really like her why would you expect the hero would?

Well no, both are genuine but very different. He goes "sorry lol" with Karin, but his apology to Sakura is way more heartfelt. Kishimoto makes sure to show his face and zoom into his eyes to show us how he softens it during this moment.

Was kabuto roasting naruto here for psychological effects or did he truly believe he was so shit? He was pretty decent as a genin during the chunnin exam. Everyone had their daddies and special blood but naruto had just himself and the fox messing up his chakara.

Which is it with you people?

try not to lump us all together anon..i said earlier that i never liked when sakura hit naruto

She didn't actually turn into a monster

i never said she turned into an actual monster..when kushina was mad she was scary, this is a fact. she was stubborn and feisty even as a little girl

Sorry, it's just that Sakura fans that I've encountered since like 2008 have all said those things.

The one thing that was done right was Naruto tossing this she woman in the trash where she belonged I would have immediately lost all respect for him if it didn’t actually happen when she “confessed”.

Then why are you here?

Anko is getting porked by Shino
Shizune is Tsunade's sex slave
Kakashi and Gai probably visit whorehouses together, though Gai may not be able to get it up anymore since he's a paraplegic
Iruka deserves a nice girl for sure though, him with the Ramen Shop girl would've been nice maybe

toss her into the trash

still simps for her after that incident

LOL

Sasuke was literally disgusted by Karin lmao

when kushina was mad she was scary

Yea, and most of the time, it was treated as a gag.

A gag scene that's still in-character for Naruto.

Him having a sad expression as she's crying isn't "heartfelt". This is retarded.

it was treated as a gag.

its something we're supposed to kek at it, but that doesnt mean she didn't get scary when mad. those two facts can coexist and kishimoto purposely made sakura resemble kushina as a red herring (his words)

If by in character you mean trying to look cool in front of dad, then yea.

He said Sakura made him sick multiple times, lol

Him having a sad expression as she's crying isn't "heartfelt".

So Sasuke showing Sakura empathy isn't heartfelt? Despite her being one of the three people he's shown any inkling of care towards, the others being Naruto and Kakashi.

Knowing Kishimoto, he just forgot the time he had Kabuto acknowledge his potential.

If Naruto was really disgusted by Sakura he wouldn't even consider her something to be cool to have.
And he was still not as visibly disgusted over her like he was with Karin.

when he was younger and more edgy. he was never made pic-related facial expression with sakura when she was all over him, karin legit scared him

you mean trying to look cool in front of dad,

So Naruto lied about Sakura being his gf to look cool/impress his dad meaning he must have viewed Sakura as girlfriend material.

We aren't babies, please show don't tell

So Sasuke showing Sakura empathy isn't heartfelt? Despite her being one of the three people he's shown any inkling of care towards, the others being Naruto and Kakashi.

No it’s pity.

Just having a gf is cool. And they're friends, so he wouldn't feel that way.

No

Having a girlfriend with actual status would be considered more cool and he wouldn't get hit in the head.

If Sakura is so terrible and disgusting then why would you want Naruto to claim her even as a gag?

god the linework becomes so ugly in Shippuden

I say it's empathy, not pity. That moment between team 7 is heartfelt.

This amount of mental gymnastics to cope with the fact Naruto didn't move on from Sakura until after VoTE2

He doesn't even get close to Hinata until 2 whole years later going by their film.

Sure but Narutos a simple guy. He probably doesn't care about that stuff.
Just because I feel that way doesn't mean he would too retard.

Going by that he shouldn't care about looking cool to his father either.

Men and women are different and have to deal with or can get away with different things.

This is why Naruto has too many fics, "fans" genuinely don't acknowledge the canon and would rather replace it with their delusions.

Sakura is a legit stacy.

strong

talented medic

beautiful in canon

the only girl from his generation with multiple suitors

ends up marrying the most coveted man from her village

Wanting to look cool isn't new for him, though.

So you acknowledge that Naruto finds Sakura someone cool to have as a girlfriend.

That's a huge problem with a lot of Sakurafags. Back in the day, they retreated to their own safe spaces and began looking at things only they wanted to see and ignored the rest.

Sauce losses an arm while dying and even he feels nothing but pity for the pink shit stalker with a brain disorder and mental illness.

I love Sakura

No, I acknowledge that having a girlfriend is cool in itself

He never feels pity for her or Naruto or Kakashi, the three that never gave up on him.

We know Sasuke.

This

People coping so hard to pretend there's anything heartfelt from Sasuke to Sakura is honestly kinda sad.

Would have been better for both to get with someone else and be good buds. Feel like we barely saw that between them. Oh well.

When?

idc if you dislike sakura and sausaku but lying on canon is retarded

What's different?

narutofags are somehow blaming sakura for naruto and hinata not making a move on each other for 2 years

wtf

It's just him wanting to protect his teammate, it's not really romantic. How is this any different from when Sasuke sacrificed himself for Naruto in the Land of Waves?

It's been posted

Deflecting to Sakurafags when called out

Typical

He's embarrassed not disgusted

Can you blame them, though
This series is a trainwreck in so many ways, and almost all of its characters are either ignored or treated like shit by the writing

ok and he cared for her as a teammate/friend, you can be heartfelt with your nakama. none of the men in naruto are shown to fall in love with their wives so idg why sasuke is singled out. sasuke marrying the one girl who never gave up on him and stayed loyal to him is more realistic than sai and ino

Who said anything about romance?
This is about Sasuke feeling empathy over Sakura and genuine remorse for hurting her.

True for other fandoms, too, but yea, that also includes Sakurafags. For a small while, it happened to Bleach, too (not as big tho)

This is cope

sai called ino ugly

naruto called hinata creepy

sasuke told sakura he doesnt like her

shikamaru found temari annoying

end up married anyways

what is kishimoto trying to tell us here?

He never feels pity for her or Naruto or Kakashi

No just Sakura. He actually has a relationship with the others with mutual respect but before the final battle not with her.

Make fun of girls irl.

Sasuke having mutual respect for Kakashi

You niggas don't actually read the manga.

this. they hate sakura so much that they need to twist and lie on canon to make their head canons work

He actually has a relationship with the others with mutual respect

he actually did show her mutual respect earlier in the series so idk what kishimoto was smoking in the final arc and he was an ass to kakashi in the final arc from what i remember...

Sasuke had been steps away from making a speech about how Kakashi "will never be an Uchiha" and even called him worse than Sakura in the war, but sure whatever.

He actually has a relationship with the others with mutual respect

LOL sure here's your mutual respect, he found kakashi as weak as a woman

When did you realize that Team 7 was the worst part of Naruto?

He literally threatens to kill Kakashis' friend before the Sound Four show up in Part 1, etc. Read the manga.

It's not heartfelt in the romantic way. That's what the original post was talking about.

lie on canon to make their head canons work

No, that's literally what you do, lmao.
Notice how you can only post examples from part 1 when they were both kids and keep ignoring all the horrid stuff he did to her in part 2.
Keep being disingenuous.

It's not heartfelt in the romantic way

Now you're moving the goal post.

When Kishimoto decided not to give them more stuff like Land of Waves. Should have gotten 1 or 2 more arcs like that even though it probably would have messed with the pacing.

Sasuke did horrid things to everyone, he was a villain.
Sakura wasn't an special target of his.

keep ignoring all the horrid stuff he did to her in part 2.

except i don't ignore all the horrible things he does to her, im not clutching my pearls because it's sasuke, he's supposed to be a terrible person for the majority of the series until he's saved by naruto. if he was ONLY terrible to her i wouldn't ship them but hes terrible to everyone for most of the story and the ONLY girl he's shown genuine respect, remorse and softness towards has been sakura, he even thanks her after she confesses to him. he didn't give a fuck about ino or karin, the only other two who made a move on him

Sakura haters don't even know how botting works. It's just a buzzword at this point.

He disses Sakura in the same sentence so yes. Sasuke has more mutual respect for anyone but Sakura and that says a lot.

Naruto had to be retconed to actually not be in love with Sakura.

retconned

Is it really so much trouble to learn what certain words mean before using them in a sentence dumbfuck zoomer?

So uh, what was the message here supposed to be?

you are supposed to beat women up if you want unconditional love

Kushina probably would've been obsessed with Sasuke too if she was still alive when he grew up.

He cared about Karin (and the rest of Taka) while they were fighting Bee.

I don't remember Sasuke threatning to kill Sakura's parents in part 1.

Sasuke has more mutual respect for anyone but Sakura and that says a lot.

The way this isn't even true because we're shown in that very scene that he doesn't have mutual respect for Kakashi either and it's the same for everyone else in the village. The only one he had respect for was Naruto, who was as OP as him.

I'm talking about her romantic feelings towards him, he didn't care about those.

Anyone tho stills ships this when Sasuke stabbed her through the chest and left her for dead and gave her a half-assed apology that she immediately forgave without a second thought needs to get their heads checked. At least Kishi had the right idea of making sure Sasuke never harmed Sakura.

but Sakura

and kakashi...

Toxic couples are incredibly popular

there are anons who thought they wouldn't get together after this shoujo tier scene

KEKKKKK

Iruka

Aged badly.

Kakashi

Volcel.

Anko

Fat.

Shizune

Wasted her youth being Tsunade's handler.

Gai

Crippled.

None of them were having kids.

He literally insults Kakashi by calling him useless (sakura)

Why is the last panel of the sky and moon so low quality?

kishimoto looks down on all his women tho. tsunade was his strongest and he still gave her the line "im a woman yes but not a weak one" showing us that he thinks men are inherently stronger

its called soul

Kishimoto is correct and extremely based for that.

Tap

What did he do?

I’ve never seen Sasuke treat anyone as badly as he did Sakura. And he did a lot of bad. But you got to ask yourself why Sakura put up with it for so long. He wasn’t particularly pleasant to be around at all. No he was downright insufferable.

Did that ninja thing where you knock someone out

slap her ass i think

He was hot and I guess she was thinking "I can fix him".

Who's moving the goalposts now?

At least Kishi had the right idea of making sure Sasuke never harmed Sakura.

He fucking tried it multiple times, lmao.

Since it's never explained why she liked him, all we can do is literally guess. My guess is she thought he was hot and knowing her that's as far as she went with it. Any self-respecting woman wouldn't allow this.

The second post ain't mine

The way Sakura still goes after Sasuke isn't even weird to me knowing how many characters suck his dick for no reason, both males and females

you mean tap her ass

I’ve never seen Sasuke treat anyone as badly as he did Sakura

He treated Naruto and Kakashi just as bad, did you even read the manga?

why Sakura put up with it for so long.

It's called being in love.

B-BUT HE'S TERRIBLE

Women love when a love interest is terrible and hard to reach because it's a reward once they win him over, this has been true since the moment women started writing romance. It's the same with abusive tsunderes, why do they win so much? Because it's more rewarding once they were go dere, the shy nice girl who has always been shy and nice is forgettable in comparison.

And he failed, that's what counts in fictional media.
He karate chop her neck?

Never succeeded and that was for good reason.

Yeah, that's something I never got.
Half of the cast is obsessed with Sasuke, even though he's a massive asshole who gives no shit about anyone else. It just kind of makes everyone in this story unlikable.

It's called a woman moment

Any self-respecting woman wouldn't allow this.

they are fictional LOL. no self respecting girl would wait 2 years after confessing and almost dying for a guy (hinata) for some kind of answer but she does anyways. the romance in naruto was shit but its retarded to only call out sasusaku

It's called being in love.

No it’s called being a crazy person.

Wtf are you on about, it's the intent that matters.

sasuke is crazy, sakura is crazy, perfect match to me

It's pretty clear he should've ended up single forever, since he clearly doesn't care for anyone else.
Pretty sure he dumped a kid in pinkshit just so that his clan wouldn't go extinct.

They are fictional LOL.

So what? It's still awful. Sakura taking shit from the guy she loves, and almost dying by his hand is horrible, and it paints her in a terrible light. It's like she doesn't care about herself.

Not really. At least Sauce makes perfect sense in context but never at any point does Sakura.

Tell that to Gaara

Name one sane Individual in this manga.

levy x gajeel (nailed her to a tree after beating her up)

sasuke x sakura (tried to kill her but never actually put his hands on her)

renji x rukia (tried to kill her and choked her once)

why does the first one get a pass?!

Not Sakura that’s for sure.

She doesn't, most characters don't either.

Answer the question.

already did

2025

complaining about toxic ships

they have been a thing since at least 1847..

I don't remember anyone else having it as badly as her, though.

That's not an answer.

As someone who was invested in Naruto for a long time, I genuinely cannot comprehend the people who like Sakura. She was always a worthless obnoxious bitch always making every issue about herself.

Karin was even worse off. At least Sakura had a genuine friendship and camaraderie with Sasuke at one point.

always making every issue about herself.

Literally when did this happen?

Pointing at one specific crazy individual doesn't answer the question of who is sane in the setting.

Kishi forced her into the heroine role, and she suffered because of it. The series just didn't need one. Make her appearance way less like the other girls, and it's pretty much fixed (till aliens)

Yeah, me neither. I guess I can understand the guys simping for her, but I really don't understand how any of the female fans like her.
It's almost like she's intentionally meant to be a parody all of every negative women stereotype.

Her fake confession to Naruto

Pinkfags in shambles

Shit you're right.

all this seething in the thread will never undone sakura marrying the chad of her village

this is what angers people the most and they should just be honest about it. even if sasuke is a terrible shit, he's handsome and the most wanted guy in the village and sakura marrying him after rejecting the main character isn't fair because she shouldn't get the chad, she should grow old alone for rejecting naruto (the self insert). most of her stems from the fact that kishimoto actually gave her the guy she wanted when naruto couldn't even get the girl he wanted (even though he married someone who suited him more better desu)

She was almost, ALMOST a good character at the start of Part II, but quickly regressed back into being a useless Sasuke fangirl.

So only once?
When she was essentially manipulated into it by Wankmaru and Sai + forced writing from Kishi?

For what?

You think all his killing attempts weren't intentional?

best girl btw

That was only one issue. Not "every" issue.

They were intentional

She was fine and more or less got redeemed in shippuden, at least as much as a female character written by Kishi can be. The biggest flaw in her writing is her crush on Sasuke and how it never emotionally deepens until they're suddenly married in the sequel. At the start she and Ino both have shallow superficial crushes on Sasuke, presumably with the intent to eventually contrast them and show how Sakura manages to form a deeper bond with him and fall in love with him for reasons beyond the superficial but it just... never happens. Hell they barely interact with one another past a certain point.

w-well you see Sasuke is a CHAD it makes sense that everyone wants hi-

Shut the FUCK up Orochimaru

Ino's crush is so shallow that she moves onto Sai because of the little resemblance. Sakura knows that other guys are into her because they tell her, but she stays loyal to Sasuke. Everyone says she's 3DPD, but her loyalty makes her better than the average foid.

nooooooo you don't get it she was le manipulated it's not like she was in control of her actions or anything

Sai didn't force anything. She knew since early Shippuden that he wanted to do that. Sakura just got full of herself

Sakura's a cunt and should've been killed off in the first episode

She was fine good even at the start of Part 2. It's after the Kazekage Rescue arc that she regressed back. She stays like that until the war saga, and by then, even Kakashi and Guy are pulling weight.

Hotter than Hinata, only second to Tsunade

Nah she should have died in the war. Give her a cool ass moment. A blaze of glory type thing.

Yeah she's loyal but my point is there's not really a reason for it besides "red string of fate, please understand". She and Ino start with equally shallow crushes, Ino moves on, and Sakura doesn't even though she never forms an emotional connection with Sasuke to justify holding on through all his subsequent bullshit. They're teammates but they barely ever talk, and certainly never really talk about anything meaningful. For as cringe as it is the Naruto/Sasuke bromance and backstory parallels at least justify why they're obsessed with one another. Sakura honestly feels like an afterthought in the Team 7 relationship dynamics.

Her best look when she was 12 with long hair. That's it.

For as cringe as it is the Naruto/Sasuke bromance and backstory parallels

Wasn't cringe at all. It was beautiful.

This, her blind loyalty is retarded, I don't get how some people here consider it a good thing, lmao.

Sai and Shikamaru literally gaslight her into thinking Naruto was saving Sasuke for her sake, which was clearly not the case.

There is always good fanart

Sakura honestly feels like an afterthought in the Team 7 relationship dynamics.

That's because she is. She's got no connection to the older Team Minato, and she herself has very little to do with the main story of Naruto. Kakashi has way more stuff going on.

sasusaku art mogs

cute and canon

Naruto ended up in a better relationship than Sakura.

She's got no connection to the older Team Minato

She was the Rin (girl who gets rescued).

Pople like to talk trash but among all the Nardo fanarts, NaruSaku and Sakura are the ones that get teh most fanart and lewd fanart

And then she drugged Sai and tried to kill Sasuke behind everyone else's back, which she failed. Why do you keep acting like she shouldn't be held responsible for her own actions?

Sasuke being a present father/husband

canon

Lmao
True

Read the manga. When they go on a mission with Sai for the first time she tells Sai that he's doing it because he considers Sasuke his friend.

And then she drugged Sai and tried to kill Sasuke behind everyone else's back

Is that supposed to be bad thing? It's clearly dumb but the intention is clearly just.
That's not what happened when they talked in the tent.

It's dumb too because the initial setup that she was essentially the throw in to the two most important genin in the village being entrusted to Kakashi because she had the best grades was fine, and ultimately it did spur her to ask Tsunade to train her and not make her useless after she had to stay back and rely on Naruto to try and save Sasuke. Except after they save Gaara post timeskip Sakura goes right back to being worthless and having to rely on Naruto. Kishi set up her arc as being the ordinary person who would be able to rise to the level of her extraordinary teammates through hard work, she does it, and then he just walks it back immediately.

On reread, my favorite part of the Sasuke Retrieval Arc is how literally all the girls were left behind because Kishi clearly didn't actually like writing any of them

Instead of pinkshit I'd rather say pigger

Yea. Something was there, and it just wasn't bothered with or developed.

Two thirds of Ino-shika-cho join the rescue

Even asspulls a kage-level powerup for Chouji to justify why he wasn't completely out of his league coming along

But Ino can't even though her body snatch jutsu could instantly succeed the mission if they managed to get the drop on Sasuke with her around

kek

He should have just dropped Sakura and focus on the dudes since he thinks girls are worthless anyway lmao

Nobody trying to defend Nara "Ino would kill herself and wage war over Sasuke" Shikamaru's involvement on this

Kek, his PR will really never recover.

Does hokage grant you spacial privileges?

I mean he's right. She was retarded too.
You get a mansion oh wait they never move into that so they can create fake forced drama for Burrito. Uhh idk the title?

Pretty sure SasuSaku has more
But sure, it's hot, so what?

Don’t worry Narusaku friends. You guys have cuck porn. Legit 80% of Sasuke porn is Naruto cucking him so there you go.

What did he do wrong?

It's another personality I don't like = 0 personality episode

80%

doubt

Kenchi...

Who is that?

Thinking about if Sasuke was a girl Kishimoto would've created the most amazing shonen love story ever made

Would them punching each other in the face been as impactful at the Valley of the End?

Sakura had personality...of a vapid cunt. Unlikable character all around

No message at all. Being a young beautiful woman is a well valued commodity just like it is, and has always been, IRL. This is so simply because having an attractive partner is at the top of of the list of most successful men.

It also means that in the majority of the cases, and except for rare exceptions, attractive women get to choose. The exceptions are usually circumstantial or related to power dynamics that allow the men to bypass the will or preferences of their desired partners.

For example in Naruto´s case there was a point on the story on which Sakura acknowledged Naruto was her best chance to bring back Sasuke so she was willing to become Naruto´s partner if needed. He turned her down because he understood that while she had the resolve she didn´t really love him and he was a good guy that didn´t want to be with her like that but the point is still valid, she could have ended up as his girl.

Sakura acknowledged Naruto was her best chance to bring back Sasuke so she was willing to become Naruto´s partner if needed.

What would happen after Naruto brings back Sasuke? She leaves him?
