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
Its for two reasons.One was she loved him and didnt want him to fall further and the second reason she was doing it for Naruto too as Sai explains a panel before.Because she loved him and didnt want Naruto to be further threatened she decided that she herself was going to be the one to kill him

That's why I said she would try to at least, to gain acceptance. She seemd on the side of wanting to please Sasuke, 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.
She wanted him to acknowledge her.And there are shocking moment when he didnt care about Sakura's life which made her feel very bad about it as the one she loves wasnt giving a shit.That however does not mean that when it comes to supporting the right side she will still choose Naruto,albeit crying, not Sasuke.She also had tears in her eyes when she saw Team 7 working together

Sakura was strong in the sense she put herself through hell emotionally because of Sasuke so she deserved him.

Hinata was strong in the sense she didn't care what she would face in order to protect Naruto so she deserved him.

Tsunade was strong because she revolutionized the medical field and re-built Konoha.

Konan was strong because she stuck by Nagato's side through thick and thin and eventually sacrificed herself for his ideals.

Karin was strong literally because she tanked Amaterasu, chidori sword and mokuton spears and also saved Sasuke's life multiple times.

Kushina was the strongest and I don't have to explain why.

That's why I don't understand how she could do this to stop Sasuke from falling further into the darkness, or doing it for "Naruto" - Aside from Sai bringing it in the first place (in the term of Naruto's feelings), and in the end she could not do it because she loved him too much to stop his evil, or to "ease Naruto's pain".

Didt really understand what you said.she cared about both her team mates and was caught in between and basically got stuck so to speak.Her intentions were never going to side with Sasuke even slightly if he was evil

I'm talking on the lines of not being able to committ herself when she thought her goal was not self centered.

Why did the first one cause a shitstorm?

Tumblr, the kind of place where people will put a donkey and a swan next to each other and write a paragraph on how they are equal.

There are many people responsible for Naruto's success as a ninja and hokage, sakura is not in the list.

And scratch out tsunade/jiraiya one too.

But how can she kill Sasuke when she cares about him too.She wanted to protect Naruto from the Akatsuki but that involved killing someone she loved hence she got caught.But if it were a life and death decision where its between Naruto and evil Sasuke,she will choose Naruto.Thats my point.The only part she will falter is killing him or causing lasting harm to him




Why did the first one cause a shitstorm?
No.Not the first one.The second one.MP used past tense in her love confession and MS had Kakashi use very degrading language for Sakura that "All she ever wants is to be yours"

@bold: I think it's more along the lines of not going through with it because she felt that there was still good in him, remember she stopped after remembering his "thank you".

I'm not sure what you 2 are discussing exactly, but if it is who Sakura would choose between Naruto and Sasuke, then isn't the answer obvious?

She would have Sasuke's back at this point, he is her spouse and father of her child.

But this does not take away from her bond with Naruto, which is also strong.

Accepting that she cares most for Sasuke does not diminish her relation with Naruto, there's no contradiction.

No we are arguing that if in the war arc Sakura had to forcibly choose between evil Sasuke and Naruto who would she choose?DR is saying Sasuke was the one in her mind the whole arc and hence she would choose him

In that case I think both of you have correct points.

Sasuke was indeed the one in her mind, but ultimately she knows good from evil and would side with Naruto if it was between him and an evil Sasuke.

I was thinking more on the lines of Sasuke as a whole before the Revolution chapter.

Only half the people in the original post were together. The other half got rejected. You just pointed out that two kage had female partners in an anime where I think everyone is straight.
