The way Sasuke shut Sakura down...

[Milliana]

I can respect your opinion as well, but what makes you think this? Naruto and Sakura has much better development as a pairing than SasuSaku or NaruHina. Sakura went from thinking Naruto was utter trash and a nuisance, to having the utmost respect, admiration, and affection towards him. Naruto went from having an innocent crush on Sakura for her looks, much like Sakura's crush for Sasuke, to having great respect for her and her accomplishments in Part 2. Sakura is shown to be attracted to Naruto in Part 2 as noted when she first sees him and even flirts with him at certain points. Even in Part 1 she's had her moments of recognizing Naruto as early as the Land of Waves arc.
There's even the fact that Naruto claims Sakura to be his girlfriend in front of everyone, including Hinata and Minato, who approves. Sakura never outright denies this either. I'm not saying NaruSaku will happen, but as a pairing, you cannot compare it to SasuSaku. There is actual development and chemistry there unlike SasuSaku.

I actually second this, though her lying confession and the way she hits is cruel as hell.

I don't recall a time Sakura has seriously hit Naruto, it's just for comic relief. And many people look at her "confession" the wrong way. It was a half truth if anything, the lie was that she was no longer in love with Sasuke, as it was shown throughout the series she feels SOMETHING for Naruto. It is possible to like more than one person, you know? Also, she was trying to protect Naruto from having to kill Sasuke himself and she was willing to sacrifice her entire friendship with Naruto to do so, but of course lol Kishi writing. Naruto has shown no signs of being mad at her and still likes her as he did before it happened. Their bond is incredibly interesting and special when you look at them as a pair. I wish Kishi would stop handling Sakura's individual character so poorly, though.

You're entitled to your opinion, but NaruSaku is just as bad as SasuSaku.


Not really, especially considering he's an Uchiha. He startled Sai and did a low tier hit on Danzo, nothing that compares to Itachi or even Hashirama's Bringer of Darkness. Even Kurenai has a better genjutsu stat and more hype. Only solid feat IMO was the one he put on C, but basic genjutsu like that comes with any Sharingan, like Kakashi's during Bell Test. I don't need to remind you what happened to him when he tried to put one on Killer Bee, do I?

You're a little late to that party, my friend.

Yah killer bee broke his Tsukuyomi because he is a perfect jinchuriki

Also, the reason he win against Danzo was due to a genjutsu, that someone as smart and powerful as Danzo didn't even notice.
