She was doing it for Sasuke and that won't change no matter how many times you try to say otherwise, she couldn't save him with her power because she's clearly outclassed, so she resorted to an emotional appeal, it's all she could've done, but that was still her obvious intention.
No one said she wasn't doing this for Sasuke, but your missing the entire point of this characterzation. It's more for her love than what Sasuke wants.

She didn't even ask Sasuke what he wanted, but she begins to construct a love speech about how she feels for him, and how much it hurts her that this is happening. That if there is anything that can change this, it's if Sakura has any place for her in his heart?

That's the implied message of what's going on here, is it not? You see if Sakura wanted to save Sasuke, she would of retaliated and told him that she wouldn't watch and stand here as he went out to destroy the Kages, and Tsunade whom she cares for. She would of tried to reason with that response, unlike Naruto who had a plan already, Sakura could of had a conversation. Sasuke isn't mental, or insane here. He's actually thinking logically for once based on his past experiences, and everything that has happened since Itachi's death.

That Hokage mindset -

Is going to murder the Five Kages which includes her Shishou.

Confesses her love :sdo:

The amount of cringe in that panel alone, even without looking at it, is just so ... terrible. It's literally all about her feelings. She doesn't even think about anyone but herself in this exact moment. Not for Sasuke's feelings, but for her feelings.

Bro.... This just killed this thread. Ouch!

Actually you did.

It's obviously not about what Sasuke wants, he wants to kill the Kages and start a revolution, it's about what Sasuke needs.

She chose to go for an emotional appeal instead of trying to sit and have a discussion with him. It's more effective given the situation and their history.

I'll literate it: She is doing this for Sasuke, but she isn't doing this for Sasuke because it's the right thing to do. She's doing it to confess her love because she believes that's going to save him. Which I disagree wholeheartedly with, and if anyone agrees that's the right thing to do than God be with you :lol

Wrong. Sasuke doesn't need Sakura's love to be saved. There's no logic about Sasuke stopping everything and going to Sakura's side.

What Sasuke needs is to open his eyes to the light which he casted away. Sasuke right now is thinking about the future, he wants to stop anything comparable to the Uchiha massacre from ever repeating itself. None of this has anything to do with Sakura, or her feelings, or his feelings for that matter.

That's the problem with her character, notice how Naruto/Sasuke had a conversation before fighting, they needed to sort things out between them. Then you compare it to how Sakura handled this entire fiasco and it's down right horrible.

Exactly, it was an attempt to stop him from what he was about to do. Whether you agree or disagree with it, it was still her role at the time and her intention. Anyways now you are stating an opinion which is fine, unlike the start of this conversation.

Sure he needs all of that, but having someone to love or at least knowing that someone loves you is also a need. An underrated gesture from her part actually.

Sure, that's your opinion, read above.

Thing is, if she understood Sasuke she would realize that's not what he needs. He doesn't need someone to love him like that, he needs someone to understand him. He needs someone there for him that will open his eyes.

There's no positive about a situation where your comrade is about to perform an act and to stop them you need to state "It's because I love you that you need to stop" that's the mentality here.



That's your opinion, read above.
Wasn't stating an opinion, I was stating actual differences in the characters when compared to two different scenario's.

You misunderstood what I meant, knowing that you are loved by someone is something everybody needs. That's what she was providing at the moment.

Actually it's "By the way, I still love you, please stop", that's the mentality.

I shouldn't have to bring the manga panels back to show what was going on, and even before that Sasuke understood her intentions quite clearly.

What was the point of... There's no ample difference between "I love you" and "I still love you".

The same message is getting across, in Sakura's case she hasn't stopped loving him at all. Which is another point not worth crossing.

Honestly no. Just having a good brain and punching the ground can't protect Konoha. Also her decision making is not as wise as the others around her.

The most important thing of all is she fears death and keeps herself away from fighting powerful enemies. Also another bad habit of her is that, she can't think of anything other then Sasuke kun.

Yea there's no difference between the wording I was just talking about what the scene represented. Sasuke knew she loved him when they were kids, she was letting him know that love still exists as some kind of appeal to stop him.

Anyways, we fleshed this out already.

No because she cannot make unbiased decisions. She might even desert the Hokage post for her Sasuke- kunn. She has no sexual control and she is just not strict enough to run the whole country. A character with too many flaws does not deserve to take the Hokage seat.

Some great points brought up here. The bold ones are my favorite.

Sakura has never shown guts to fight tougher opponents.

Hell to the no

Heaven to the no.

Just saying it nicely. =D

Does french fries have what it takes to taste bad?
Does Lela Star have what it takes to not give me a boner?
Does Geico have what it takes to save 15% or less on car insurances?
Do Old Spice commercials have what it takes to make any sense?
Does ass have what it takes to smell good?
Do I have what it takes to not be a retard?

She doesnt even try to understand himIdk why she was still alive at that point i was mad as hell when that was a genjutsu sasuke casted on her i thought it was real
