Agreed. In Japan, 13 is the age of consent. What Sarada is wearing is no worse than this.

And the younger characters Kubo has draw in suggestive poses with one another and/or naked.
In the anime, when a 14-16 year old girl is making her exit, we see her butt cheeks.

Kishi didn't draw her outfit. He's always been more on the prude side. Look at what he did in The Last. It messed up things when Naruto doesn't acknowledge Hinata's feelings for damn near 3 years after her confession to him. Then it's as if her confession didn't happen, with her wanting to give a scarf and tell him her feelings. Why did it take 2 years for them to get to that point? Because Kishi didn't want to write romance with them until they turned 19. Even though all they did was kiss. It's not like he wrote them having ***. But apparently for him, even kissing is too adult for everyone not 19+, and thus awkward to write. That carries things further than even America's prudishness. Because teenagers can be seen kissing here. And it's acknowledged in shows that teens have ***.
So I could see him not doing Sarada's outfit that way, if he'd drawn the character. But overall Japan is a different culture and what is acceptable to do - in real life, or on tv, is different from us.
Look at D.Gray-Man where they can show a 40+ man hitting on, and ogling, a 16-year-old.

Over here, that could cause a panic probably and people would be complaining about "pedophilia." Or the character would be a villain, known as a predator / rapist.
Well like many have said Its japan so they can sexualize 13 year girls.But if I were the parent then I would make her wear pants just like part 1 sakura or ino
Her clothing design is way better than the old one in terms of looks. The skirt should be a bit longer, but either way, it's not like this isn't an anime in the end of the day.
Watch Black Bullet (if you can) and this will seem like nothing.
I couldn't really be bothered by such irrelevant things. Sure, slight annoyance is ok, but when it becomes such a huge issue, one wonders how thirsty people can get. :flakez:
