Fine then 8/9 years. Yes I know it was a crush when she was a child, but a crush is still something, so that's what I meant with how long she's had feelings for him, and she did love him by the time he left the village, it was after the chunin exams her crush turned into love, why do people care so much about her love anyway? she loves Sasuke, what's it to anyone, most people on here tend to hate her anyway.
man don't know
as u said ino she was thinking about sasuke too during her father's death
As kakashi stated sakura thinks it's her job to pull sasuke out of darkness which is same what naruto does.She acts on emotional takeover but dosen't has strength to complete it.She reminds me of my failures and i respect that.
Her love when they were a team is still isn't real love. Read chapter 181 when Sakura was trying to stop him.
It was when they were separated for years that Sakura's feeling matured into real love.

I agree that when they were seperated is when it did mature and deepen but she still loved him before he departed, I've read chapter 181 enough times lol.

No. She isn't. I've read all the comments in this thread thus far and I believe that the only realistic things about sakura as a character are her latent feelings of insecurity, disempowerment, and need for acknowledgement. That's about it, other wise her behavior seems to be more consistent with that of women who are in an abusive relationship. I understand that this comparison maybe a bit extreme for some so I'll be more than glad to break it down for you.
1) There's a difference between unconditional love and being blinded by love to the point where it has a negative impact on the individual experiencing it. At what point does an individual begin to evaluate whether their feelings are really beneficial to their own well being or the well being of others involved??
It's typical for emotionally/physically abusive women to experience a phase in which they sympathize with their abuser to the point where they're willing to make excuses for them. Sometimes it can even get to a point where the victim begins to believe that what their experiencing is their fault and that a person who they love and care about is being reprimanded by others because of something that they've done. At that point the victim feels responsible for the abuser and sometimes will even take on partial responsibility for absolving any negative predisposition towards the abuser. This isn't a genuine relationship it's a codependent relationship built upon the victim's fear regarding what they may or may not be able to provide for themselves. They're so insecure and disempowered in their own lives that they're willing to seek empowerment and validation in people that showed them even a smidge of attention before regardless of the emotional or physical abuse they may face from the person.
2) It's common for victims to feel responsible for saving their abusers or redeeming them in some way, so part of the reason they're willing to endure so much abuse is because they believe that it's not necessarily part of the person's nature or that they're only behaving that way because of hurt or loneliness so at that point the victim feels obligated to stick by their abuser's side.
So no. I don't think sakura is a realistic portrayal of women and it isn't fair to compare women to someone who's so desperate and disempowered. If other women feel as thought hey can identify with sakura that's their call. I can't make that decision for them, but I know that I have control over my own perspective. Personally, I could always identify more with Kakashi. The saying"conceal it, don't feel it, don't let it show" plays a huge role in my life plus I'm more of a strategist. I don't believe in resigning my personal power to external circumstances.

Sasuke and Sakura do not have an abusive relationship, and he's not insane anymore, he was in a truly dark place then, he's not now, first thing he did when he was back with team 7 was save Sakura so I don't think they can be classified as an "abusive" relationship.

1) I said her behavior is consistent with that of women who are in an abusive relationship.
2) Sasuke saved sakura, hm? Interesting. Can you show me the page it happened on?? Because I'm pretty sure that was naruto.
