Is coward thing to do.
In any martial arts fight or rather any fight attacking from behind is a cowards sign.
In Naruto the only coward i have seen is sakura.
1.She tried to kill sasuke from behind(failed tooooo hard).
2.She wasnt even in the kaguya fight but attacked kaguya when she was heavily distracted by naruto and sasuke.
3.She even hit Shin when he was distracted by the duo.
Not even tsunade does these things, she went all out against madara and head on did the fight honorably, hell when rock lee was almost beaten to death but he preferred attacking garra head on.

Do you guys know other cowards in naruto except sakura?
Those aren't good examples of cowardice because these weren't situations of liesurely martial arts sparring or anything like that. Instance 1 was a matter of trying to avert a war between nations. Instance 2 was an instance of trying to save the entire world. Instance 3 was an instance of Sakura trying to save her spouse and child.

In instances like these , you do whatever is necessary. These aren't sporting events where pride and honor are involved.
These were real life and death situations.

If a burglar was in your house and he was threatening to kill your family , are you telling me that you'd avoid using underhanded tactics to take him down and that you'd risk letting your family die just for the sake of fighting honorably?

I'd hope not. It is not cowardice to do stuff like attacking from behind in serious matters. It is only cowardly if you do it during stuff like arranged sporting events or street fights that are simply for pride and honor.

Hahaha lol
Sasuke tried blitzing shin and failed multiple times even though he is way faster than foddruka but still you believe she blitz shin? Hahahahaa
Shin was heavily distracted by the others and sakura just punched him out before he could get over his distraction.
And i read the manga scan now he was getting ready to use some kind of jutsu from his hands and thats when she attacked him making my point more solid that he was totally om focus on the duo to use a jutsu against them and she came in between as she always does. Lol
Sasuke escaped Shin's attack using Ameno and the kid Shin guarded the adult from Sasuke's Fire Ball jutsu. Sasuke couldn't blitz him but it is a fact that Sakura could. Dude you claim you are reading the manga but if you really pay attention to the details, you would know this.

Shin was focused on his attack but he had multiple MS so what he could have done was just used his precog and check the area for any signs of danger. He had the time to do that but he ended up getting blitz. This is no way at all an example of cowardice. It's called playing it smart.

Hidan is the most honorable ninja

Literally the only ninja to attack people head-on without trying to use distractions like clones or summons or genjutsu or additional teammates (fought Asuma basically on his own, fought Shikamaru on his own and Shikamaru needed to prep).

Wow thanks for making this thread mate yeah everything you stated is right and there is a slight correction in point 2 that kaguya was distracted by not two but three kakashi too with his DMS and she hitting kaguya was a pure asspull and fan service.

1. You just described Black Cumgoo. Dude can only attack from the back because he knows if he approaches from the front door he is toast.

2. Danzo is a coward and a different type than your explanation. Dude realized he was losing and tried to run away smh.

3. In your definition, Deidara is a coward too since Gaara had the village to protect and he sent a C3 down the villagers way. He was distarcted. No this one ain't the definition of a coward because it known as situational fightning. He used the village against Gaara and played it all according to plan in Gaara's homefield advantage.
By his definition all Uchiha opponents are coward because they rely on shadow clone distractions and their teammates to face the Sharingan smh :lol

Because? His snitching ass is a true "ninja" :lmao:
No, but after his death.. and his story about life.. u actually see whats inside someones heart. Danzo for cruel and controlling in the shadows, that doesnt mean he was a bad man or some shit snitch or w.e. Times was cruel, but after all Danzo wanted to protect the village. He wanted to be in charge and control things but that was his doom.. Im not saying he was the best man thu..

Not a coward.. He knew there are a lot strong and dangerous opponents .. He had to do something about it- He even fought them- that doesnt make him a coward


So because you dislike a group of people and you get rid of them in the most discusting way isn't being a coward?

I seen what he did to shisui. Coward!
