Am I the only person that read that Sakura was trying to encourage Naruto and Sasuke's teamwork by acting as the decoy. She said she wonders whether Sasuke cares, but she never said about her personally.


She could have meant their team, but I am not really sure on that because the line was kinda hazy

I don't think she would of sacrificed her well being just to make Sasuke and Naruto demonstrate teamwork.

Well, she does have the rebirth technique and its her first time showing it so she probably had faith in the technique and thought she could confront Madara without sustaining any lasting damage

If she really wanted to keep them together, she should have heeded what Kakashi just told them about teamwork. Instead she rushed in without thinking or co-ordinating a plan with Naruto & Sasuke. She actually risked Naruto and Sasuke's lives by trying to act as the 'decoy', especially if Madara used it as an opportunity to attack Naruto/Sasuke.

She could have at least said thanks to Naruto instead of just thinking about Sasuke (who clearly doesn't care about her. In fact she should have known that when he tried to kill her after Danzo's fight). But I guess yeah in that regard, you could be right...she might just be wondering whether he cares about the team.

She is pretty much useless in this fight against Madara (as we've seen) but she definitely can be helpful in the fight against Spiral since everyone there is getting fodderized due to lack of chakra (apart from Hiruzen). Since she is one of the few who have chakra she can be saving her comrade's lives there rather than doing nothing here.

Oh no, I never said she wasn't obsessed, that's how this series works. She is almost as bad as Naruto, but in this instance I don't think she was seeking Sasuke's attention

It has always been seen throughout the manga that 'Sakura Haruno' is impulsive character, i.e. she acts first rather than thinking and systematic planning about it beforehand.(remember trying to kill Sasuke with Kunai?) Lol
So it isn't surprising for me, she needs more character development, at least she took initiative this time, so we must say she has grown.:p

Kakashi said in chapter 675 that Sakura's goal was to free Sasuke from the darkness. If she would have seen Sasuke react with concern over her welfare (which would also include Naruto if things got worse), then there would be hope for him. By not caring, her fears over his reasons for wanting to be Hokage and her distrust of him Sai pointed out would be confirmed.

Sasuke did react though and save her, but she failed to notice it because she could not see the Limbo Madara he attacked. Only after Naruto saved her did she realize Sasuke had a Rinnegan.

Haha I agree. She could have had potential but I think it's a little late for development now. I guess Kishi isn't the best at writing female characters. I've got to give credits for her guts though (although really reckless).

Seeing how he cut the rod, wouldn't that mean Sasuke cared?

This^^^^^^^^

She flat out said she didn't want to let Naruto and Sasuke fall apart again.

lol don't worry, they all know. They just like to twist it so they can hate on her more. Its very obvious she was doing it to create a distraction.

But they say 'better late than never', one can at least hope, small but still there is a development.:p

I think so, he was quick to react so she could be freed. And he did have facial expressions that showed his feelings too. Nothing romantic or overly caring, just genuine concern.
