You wanna prove me wrong? Your boy jiraiya didn't give a single f*ck about Naruto before Iruka saved him from despair.

ahh we are going to that moment.

I guess Naruto was being selfish about saving Sasuke, since i'm sure you wouldn't want me to bring in the scans of him talking about only his bond with Sasuke. Didn't see him mention Sakura.

She wanted to see Sasuke, so she went there. Knocked out everyone else , so they wouldn't get hurt. Didn't want Naruto to burden it so she lied to him. Yet shes selfish, and only thing you can do to counter is post a scan where is in a depressed state, and claims shes here to see Sasuke. Yet our discussion, was never about her going to see Sasuke. It is why she want alone. Did she chose to go with sasuke? no. You should already stop arguing with this point there.

@Faps, ah how nice of you to bring the word, when all that is being stated is in the manga.
I will agree with the bold. God Father Jiraiya did wait 13 years to be in Naruto's life.. I will go out of my way to say some of that time was spent training team Nagato.

My bad about forgetting Iruka's contribution but the rest of the post is still correct
Yea I agree. But Mito was nontheless behind Hashirama. =D

You know she only did it because Sai made her feel like a ****...
Thats why I put blame for the whole fiasco not just on Sakura but is shared by everyone including Sai.Sai started it and when it was suggested and accepted to take care of Sasuke as a team they completely ignored the fact that here was a guy who had gone toe to toe with Itachi and survived and could demolish that entire squad.Such fools.Sakura's intentions were good but ultimately a stupid foolhardy plan everyone agreed to

That was first time Naruto mentioned his ninja way and stuck with it to the end. At Naruto's core is a lot of people, not just Iruka. They didn't influence his ninja way because he didn't have any other convictions other than be hokage and be recognized by everyone.

Iruka's pretty special to him though and should be behind him in the OP's post. That or his mom.
@Bold, where did you get that from? Any manga scans? I provided a manga scan that showed Iruka is the most influential figure in Naruto's life. Not Zabuza, not Haku , not Sasuke, not Jiraiya... but the very man who saved him from despair, and taught him the basics of being a ninja.

His ninja way is "never give up" "don't go back on my words". All Zabuza and Haku did was show him how other ninja are like, and he chose to be simply not like them. Not denying their influence over him, since he does respect them and all.


Reason why his mom can't be the most influential, is simply due to the reason, they didn't save him from despair, weren't there when he needed people to be by his side.

The dude has always been there.

I was talking about this scene

She claimed it was for Naruto, but ...
She didnt want to tell Naruto because she knew he would never approve killing Sasuke and didnt want him to feel bad about it

Of course she couldnt go through with it.Sakura is hardly the type of person to actually execute a killing move.Translators on NF said that in 693 when she said "I couldnt trade blows with you" she had actually intended to kill Sasuke and be killed by him at the same time
But saying she would choose Sasuke over Naruto when push came to shove is wrong IMO.She would not be able to kill Sasuke but she will support Naruto

I agree.

That's why I thought it was selfish on her part. Everyone else at that point aside from Naruto, Kakashi, and Yamato knew the truth about Itachi, and why Sasuke was acting this way. She was willing to sacrifice her life alongside with Sasuke, and that would of destroyed Naruto. This is why I think it was selfish.

Are you sure, though? I feel as if Sakura also strived for Sasuke's acceptence too. Even in the War Arc she pushed Naruto aside for Sasuke when he returned for the Team 7 Reunion

Just like Naruto was going to let Sasuke keep on doing his thing, despite it could've resulted in both of their deaths. I'm sure that wasn't going to hurt anyone....

Naruto, the savior of world, dead.

Except Naruto had a convinction for doing so. Even Sakura herself was not disappointed by his choice. Naruto did not choose to kill him, Naruto said that if both him and Sasuke fought, they would both die. Meaning that he was willing to die with his hatred and bear it in death.

Now tell me again how that is comparable to her situation?

Sakura did not contribute much to the 'making' of Naruto.
Naruto was shaped by Jiraya the most. Bee also helped a lot. Emotionally Kushiana, Minato and Sasuke shaped him.

Hashirama was shaped by the wars and Madara the most. Mito's role only came towards the end.

Kushiana had some influence on Minato. You forgot Konan's influence on Naga to.

Obi to was shaped by Rin.

But there are many major characters which have not been shaped by women. They include Madara(don't count BZ, that is not the kind of influence you are trying to establish here), Sasuke Itachi, Orochimaru etc. So no its not a theme.
My point still stands, if Sakura wasn't beside Naruto at certain points the manga would've ended prematurely.

Because she felt she was the one responsible for his burden and Naruto was putting himself at risk by not killing Sasuke because he had joined the Akatsuki and felt Naruto would be a target for sticking his neck out .

Are you sure, though? I feel as if Sakura also strived for Sasuke's acceptence too. Even in the War Arc she pushed Naruto aside for Sasuke when he returned for the Team 7 Reunion
Obviously so.Sasuke was the one not acknowledging her and putting her down.Naruto had already accepted her.

Later on when Sasuke says that she and Kakashi were saved only because they were next to Naruto she shows a hurt expression and when Naruto agrees she shows an even more pained expression at this because both of them in other words had called them useless although Naruto cheers her up later (I think)

. Even Sakura herself was not disappointed by his choice
She had tears in her eyes when Naruto said that


Naruto did not choose to kill him, Naruto said that if both him and Sasuke fought, they would both die. Meaning that he was willing to die with his hatred and bear it in death.

Its already clear through 693 that she wanted to kill Sasuke and kill herself too

She wanted to stop Sasuke because she . Sai was initiate of this bad plan, funny enough, and the struggle between Sakura, Naruto, and Sasuke was causing more strain

Obviously so.Sasuke was the one not acknowledging her and putting her down.Naruto had already accepted her.

Later on when Sasuke says that she and Kakashi were saved only because they were next to Naruto she shows a hurt expression and when Naruto agrees she shows an even more pained expression at this because both of them in other words had called them useless although Naruto cheers her up later (I think)
That's why I said she would try to at least, to gain acceptance. She seemd on the side of wanting to earn his respect, or to find out if he was at least thinking about her, rather than focusing on the task at hand. Which only brought me to conclude she was thinking about him thoroughly throughout the War. With him there, I feel as if those thoughts and emotions were heightened.

I'm not saying Iruka isn't the most influential. I'm just stating Zabuza and Haku showed him the reality of a Shinobi's life. A tool of their country or someone else. Naruto never said his Nindo until after he met them:

He also called his Parents his Suns:

KB didn't state only Iruka was at his core though.

It's weird he'd call his Suns people who weren't there for him but he still said they gave him enough love to get through things.
