I wouldn't have tried to get in his way in the first place.

Think about the influence Sai had on her though. He told her that she was the sole reason Naruto was going through so much pain, and that he had got beaten up because of her. Then her reaction to that.... well..

The fact that she did something proves how much she cares about him and his safety..

I don't care, my whole point was that it was a dumb plan that wasn't thought all the way through.

Not what caused the plan.

Not why she wanted to make a plan.

]And how is that being "obsessed"? He tried to killer her yes, but her and Naruto care about him so much that they want to save him from the path he has went down and protect him... You saw her concern in the latest chapters.. that's not obsession.. Compare her reaction to Ino's.. Ino literally ran towards Sasuke while Sakura questioned him why he came. See the difference?

I don't think Sasuke tried to kill Ino... And that was the first time Ino saw Sasuke since Part 1.

Of course she showed some restraint, she is not completely stupid, he tried to kill her.
She knows something is up with Sasuke yet she doesn't want to believe it and is hiding behind that smile.


So what if Sasuke had to tell her off? The fact of the matter is that she was disappointed in herself and learned from her mistake..

She was disaappointed in herself and yet when Sasuke told her Naruto was the one that Naruto had improved and that he had saved her, she didn't believe him. She didn't consider that it could be true. Until Sasuke told her off again.

You realize that Sasuke had gotten bitten by Orochimaru and didn't show up to the Exam? Is there any wonder why she was concerned about him? He could of been dead..

Sasuke was just fine, she knew it. She only wanted to see the boy of her dream. Ino had to tell her to root for Naruto. Naruto always comes in second in her mind, no matter what.

Wow. She wasn't "trying" to make a fool out of him. Like I explained in my last post, she had to go to desperate measures to break the promise she had with him because according to Sai, she was putting Naruto through pain by making him chase after Sasuke..

She wasn't even completely lying to him.. She does love Naruto, whether it's romantic or is a different story.. but her reasoning she gave for loving him is legit. She was only Bsing about her not caring for Sasuke anymore.

You don't get my point. I know that her aim wasn't to fool Naruto but that's exactly how her actions are to be interpreted. Do you want to be pitied by the one you love ? Faking that she loves you ? That's what making a foll out of Naruto means. Do you get the picture if naruto had fallen ? He would have been in an ignorant bliss thinking that Sakura does love him while everyone else would have known the sad truth.

Ok.. whatever..

It's not like she had a bundle of options to choose from. Your opinion though..

The plan was really not-well thought. So she cared enough about Naruto that she would lie and pity him ? She could have went and talk to naruto, that's what friends do. They stick together.

Yah we all understand that Sakura came out a bad character in the beginning of the series, and that's because Kishimoto is sexist. But please do not say "obsess". Obsess is a big overstatement and over exaggerating. And here's something to calm your: oh Sakura just hit Naruto! She's a *****! *cough* *cough* You see in Dragon Balls, Goku would touch the genitals of a character to tell the difference if they were a male or female. This was something that's supposed to be funny. Same for Sakura punching Naruto. You should not take it seriously since it is FICTION. And What Sakura did to Naruto: same thing, it is FICTION. It shouldn't matter if a character lies to a character and calls them friend, cause in fiction that can happen. You just take that too much. So calm your tits!

So you agree that Sakura doesn't obsess over Sasuke then, and just Ino because he didn't try to kill her? Ok cool.

Of course she showed some restraint, she is not completely stupid, he tried to kill her.
She knows something is up with Sasuke yet she doesn't want to believe it and is hiding behind that smile.

Obviously, she cares for Sasuke alot.. so does Naruto.. how is that not understandable? And she doesn't trust Sasuke at all, that was the whole point of the fake smile. If she trusted him no smile would of been needed, she'd of been genuinely happy. Just wanted to point that out.


She was disaappointed in herself and yet when Sasuke told her Naruto was the one that Naruto had improved and that he had saved her, she didn't believe him. She didn't consider that it could be true. Until Sasuke told her off again.

Hardly that big of a deal tbh.. that was part of her development towards Naruto and acknowledging him more.. she wouldn't have to think twice about it now..


Sasuke was just fine, she knew it. She only wanted to see the boy of her dream. Ino had to tell her to root for Naruto. Naruto always comes in second in her mind, no matter what.

That's just mere assumptions and denial. She was worried about Sasuke's "curse mark" even before the fight with Neji. The fact that he didn't show up made it even worse and she had every right to be worried about him. She could that Naruto was alive..

Reread the fight with Kiba.. she was cheering him on throughout that whole fight..

And that was back then when she was more attached to Sasuke than Naruto. Look at the situation now and she would undoubtedly be more concerned for Naruto's safety than Sasuke's, which was proven when she planned to kill Sasuke.




You don't get my point. I know that her aim wasn't to fool Naruto but that's exactly how her actions are to be interpreted. Do you want to be pitied by the one you love ? Faking that she loves you ? That's what making a foll out of Naruto means. Do you get the picture if naruto had fallen ? He would have been in an ignorant bliss thinking that Sakura does love him while everyone else would have known the sad truth.

First of all, take a look at her reasoning.. It was something along the lines of, "You where here to care for me when Sasuke ran away and betrayed the villiage" or something of that nature.. That's a pretty legit reason. She does love Naruto, whether it is romantic or not is a different story.

And you must understand that Sai said, "she knew you would act like this, that's why she was willing to let you hate her to break the promise between you".

She knew he wouldn't play along..

People are saying hinata is a main character instead of sakura? Lol

Sakura is the third main character in the show, Kakashi being the fourth.

that's all, All other close characters are secondary characters and then there are supporting characters like konahamaru, Kankaro etc..

Yeah and that would have ended well... Naruto never goes back on his word remember?.. she had to find a way to force him to not want to keep his promise anymore of his on accord.

But we are just discussing. Even if it's fiction, we taking it in the fictional context (hence why I said she's not worthy of being a main character. I know it's Kishi's fault for drawing her character like that but fact is, her character is just like I described.

And my tits are very calm thank you =D

Sakura has been Heroine since she debuted. Deal with that fact. Whether she got that power up or not, Kishimoto still chose her to be the Heroine of the series for his own reasons. His story, not mine. Sorry to disappoint you.

Sakura raged and scolded Naruto. As a medical ninja, it's her duty to heal the wounded not wound them even more. Even if she did punch Naruto, she knows his condition well enough to not hurt him. She is the one healing him, after all.

Did you see her react the way Karin did? Forgiving Sasuke instantly? No where in the manga did it mention that she forgave him for trying to kill her or did she say herself.
She's stopped being the obsessive fangirl when she learned more about Sasuke. You're over exaggerating yourself. The day Sasuke left the village and tried to stop him, she spoke from the heart not the "fangirl" side of her.


Unsupportive

Forest of Death: (Chapter 49) During the forest of death, whenever Orochimaru attacked Team 7, the one who snapped Sasuke out of it was Sakura. She admitted that Naruto was not a coward, this triggered Sasuke and got him to fight alongside Naruto. Her basically calling Sasuke a coward helped him trigger his Sharingan for the first time. You're welcome.

Chuunin Exam: (Chapter 75) During the Chuunin exam, Sakura cheered Naruto on. When everyone else doubted him, only she knew of his true strength. She and Kakashi gave each other a reassuring look that yes, Naruto can defeat Kiba.

Useless

Forest of Death: (Chapter 49) With a paralyzed Sasuke, Orochimaru was able to knock out Naruto with a seal. As Naruto was falling, Sakura managed to save him with her kunai.

(Chapter 54) When Naruto and Sasuke were unconscious, Sakura was the only one left to care for them. She even fought with all her might to save her comrades from the Sound Nin. You may say that Rock Lee did the work but if it wasn't for Lee's admiration for Sakura, then there would be no saving. Sakura's courage to protect her team is not someone you can call useless.

Sakura also admits her faults. That is not someone you can call shallow.

Medical skills: Sakura's medical skills have helped and saved others countless of times. I'm not going into further detail with this because you should know how many she's saved. Naruto, Hinata, Kankuro, etc.



Protective: Sakura is always jumping infront of others to protect them. She does this without a second thought, it's her natural instinct to protect others regardless of her own safety.

Obsessed

Forest of Death: Sakura cut off her long hair. If you remember, her hair meant a lot to her because it was a way to impress Sasuke. She took real good care of it but she decided to cut it off to protect her team.

Fake Smile: Her fake smile obviously proves that she no longer trusts Sasuke. Her feelings for Sasuke are now unknown. If she was so obsessed then she wouldn't have doubted him for a second but when Sasuke appeared, she questioned him, why he came. Sakura, Sai, and Shikamaru are the only ones who are keeping a close guard on Sasuke. Sakura is watching his back because she will fight if Sasuke makes one wrong move. Remember that she is no longer holding back.


Burden

She admits that she feels like a burden to her teammates but has done plenty to redeem herself. She even trained through out the years and worked hard to get where she is now. A kunoichi who is highly intelligent, skillful, selfless, and protective is not one to be called a burden.


Tsk. Your move.

Yeah she has several bad qualities, but her use of medical ninjutsu in part two was vital to keeping a lot of important people alive: Naruto,.Kankuro,.Chiyo, and Hinata (well for me ;)). These people went on to have rather important moments or positions that would later help the shinobi world.

I'd say her only bad action in part II was the Kage summit...because on top of playing with his feelings, she did so knowing full well how Hinata felt. Then she pulled a **** move on Kiba, Sai, and Lee....was completely uncalled for.

Bit honestly, while she didn't get enough plot focus or development, she did the little things that add up to make her an extremely vital character.

I meant Ino could still be Sasuke's fanfirl, she hadn't seen him in 3 years.

Not really, that fake smile was to deter her firends from taking actions. Why doesn't she go along with them and talk about the situation ? It would have made more sense

She knew Naruto's feelings for her. The reason Naruto would have hated her was her killing of Sasuke without telling him about

And do you realize Naruto had a case of hyperventilation afterwards ? That's how bad it went

But Sakura has proven that she isn't..

Not really, that fake smile was to deter her firends from taking actions. Why doesn't she go along with them and talk about the situation ? It would have made more sense

Last time Sakura used a fake smile was on Naruto when she said she didn't care about Sasuke anymore... she does it when she is lying. She wants to trust Sasuke and wants to be happy he is back but she knows deep down she can't trust him and she knows something still "up" with him.



Everyone has ackknowledge Naruto now. So wtv ?

Sakura has done so on a more personal level however.. and, Sakura was one of the first people to actually encourage him. Her and Hinata were the only ones to actually cheer him on in the fight against Kiba. She started to acknowledge him during the Chunin exams and then it kept growing stronger.


Even if she is worrying about Sasuke, so that makes her right to forget about naruto (again) ?

Naruto wasn't in danger though.. If Naruto was about to die in the fight agaisnt Neji, Kakashi would of jumped in. She had no need to worry about him.. Her focus was on Sasuke because of the reasons I already posted previously.




That makes it even worse. She's using Naruto's love and warm actions toward her to fool him in believing that she loved him. You really think she didn't expect Naruto to believe her ? She knew Naruto's feelings for her. The reason Naruto would have hated her was her killing of Sasuke without telling him about

And do you realize Naruto had a case of hyperventilation afterwards ? That's how bad it went

Still much better than him chasing after Sasuke.. suffering for the rest of his life doing so, and then eventually dying while trying to do it. She was trying to make him move on..

Sasuke used his sharingan for the 1st time against Haku. He later used it against Lee. So no, she has no benefits whatsoever

She's a fangirl. She was ready to abandon everything for a bot=y she hardly understands. How does she love Sasuke if she doesn't know him ? She was tactless talking about naruto's parents being dead while Sasuke's were killed too. She grew up a little but i'm still going to say it, that smile. She doesn't believe sasuke's change of heart yet she refuse to face it and she's hiding. That's not how you love someone.

I admitted she redeemed herself in the forest of death. Even though she defeated no one.

You think she's not obsessed ? All she could say in Part 1 was Sasuke. Please. I'm not even going for scans to back that up.

Useless (and protective ?)

Okay she threw herself to protect the engineer. And ??? Nothing. She just stayed there. She was shaking. Only thinking about Sasuke fighting Haku. She didn't help them in those two fights. At all. Sasuke and naruto did all he fighting

Unsupportive

So Naruto beats down Gaara and who does she thank ?? Sasuke. Even when he tells her he did nothing she doesn't believe him at first..

I could write a longer post but it's 1 a.m so i'm off to sleep. Maybe tomorrow I'll continue with this

we gotta admit from top to weakest, sakura IS the lowest rank below naruto and sasuke and sai.
