Fear the Judgement of Flawless Truth. His Lordship is Eternal.
:sdo: .

I think you might be writing off the other kids a little too quickly tbh. It has been one chapter, and the chapter focused almost entirely on Sarada. Maybe you should give the others some time :p And I think you should give Sarada some time too. Don't try to extrapolate so much from one chapter...
Exactly this.

The anime isn't canon, but it is more valuable than fanart. Yeah, I have some massacre pics saved on my computer. I love them. Shinobi are killers and Itachi is one of the three legit ones. Rest are posers.

Funny what Sasuke said in a later chapter after Itachi had said that.

Oh, man. Salad can never live up to Itachi's greatness. She'll just be like these two for all eternity:

I guess part two was the end of the well-written characters. :'c Too bad the tragic hero (Itachi) is deceased as are the badass characters (Zabuza, Pein, etc). So sad.

I'm not all that into Spanish Soap Opera material myself. ._.

Ok sorry about that. :gn:
I'm not, I just like to ramble on pointlessly and take bait because it's fun. And troll your troll posts and others back too. :3

Itachi was far from great and he would be the first person to tell you that. He was so arrogant after shisui's death he thought he could singlehandley handle a coup, and when he couldn't, he was too easily manipulated by Danzo that he was backed into a corner and forced to commit genocide against his own people. People praise his intelligence, but in reality there are numerous ways this could have been solved with little to no bloodshed, but Itachi couldn't see those options, whether it's because he was blinded by his own arrogance or he was too desperate for a way out that he panicked and took Danzo's offer we'll never know but i suspect a little of both.

Imagine Naruto in this situation (I'm not saying Naruto is smarter than Itachi) do you believe the massacre would of occurred? Of course not. This is what makes Naruto great, his ability to persuade people and to find clever solutions to difficult problems something Itachi for all his "greatness" lacks.

What we know so far is that she's questioned Sakura on her relationship with Sasuke. This isn't particularly noteworthy considering he's been absent for 12 years. You don't have to be smart to realize something is up.

Then we have people grasping straws concerning her line of thoughts in the academy. These are not particularly deep or interesting either. It's summed up as her questioning what it means to be a ninja and what the hype is all about. She's not even a ninja yet so the "What does it even mean to be a ninja?" line is silly. Yet no one seems to figure out that the only reason she started to ask these question was when her own teacher told them about "graduating". Such genius Lol

She's not even questioning the system, but if she did people would be eating up anything she says. Questioning a system when she has no inkling of experience as a ninja or any knowledge pertaining to government.
Very simply. Sarada is setting up her own resolution.

Sasuke has been absent for 12 years because of his duty of being a shinobi. So normally a child hearing this would make a child question y is being a ninja so important that you would neglect your wife and own kid.

Not exactly sure how Kishi plans on tying this in though.

The same just louder. She questions her life since hers is less happy than their's. Anyone in her position would, regardless of intelligence.
Naruto and Sasuke didn't they just sat in despair, in contrast she doesn't stop searching for answers to why her life is that way :hint: Intelligence doesn't necessarily Minato or Shikamaru, I would say she's wise and mature, which is why I compared her to Itachi.

No. I've volunteered and helped kids with problematic family backgrounds in the past. Every kid notices something is up. Some just are more open and tell you, while others you have to talk to them to know that they know because they're shy. xD In Salad's case, her father is gone for 12 years. Her noticing is not an act of intelligence. It's a given. Just being real here.
Ouch, can't argue against this.


It's odd that she didn't ask before it got to 12 years of an absence. The first time she asked if Sakura was really Sasuke's wife was this chapter. It's a little late for her to ask in this place.
I think maybe because she's one of the children that believe what they were told from a young age, you know like how you're told santa is real but eventually you start doubting and asking whether he's fake or not :p

Being egotistical is the quality of being self-centered. She is self-centered and only thinks of her own problems, just as her father did at this age.
Agreed but unlike her father she doesn't seem to show any rage or anger, she just shrugs her shoulders and continues to persist with Sakura's lies (the same way Sakura persisted with Sasuke's lies). The thing is she's not showing any sign of being overwhelmed by emotion, Itachi was the same.

No. She is praised as an Uchiha but knows nothing about why the Uchiha are considered elite. That's like telling someone constantly that they're a fantastic baker, but they only know how to make one cake. They'd be perplexed, because they don't understand why it's warranted. Just as Salad is.
But it's also like telling someone they don't need to wait in line for food because they're royal family. She doesn't seem to get the concept of privilege, like normal children her age do.

Salad didn't even say thank you when ChoCho said that. She wasn't humble, she just shrugged it off. Having humility and explicitly ignoring praise are two different things. Salad does the latter.
She shrugged it off because she clearly doesn't understand why she's being linked with something that she has no regard for. She doesn't want to be praised for the wrong things.

There's nothing more to a manga character other than looks, personality, and what they stand for (which includes all actions and dialogue).

Kishimoto was talking about her personality when he said that about Salad, he stated this. So, no. It cannot be anything. Just personality. She's fem!Sasuke w/ some of Sakura's personality intertwined as well.



If she does, then I'll be proud. :p
Agreed, but Sasuke's determination + Sakura's humility = Itachi's will :hmm:

Actually, they made friends and moved on... while having worst pasts than Salad. Salad just complains. She just started searching for answers at the age of 12, that's much too late and given that she barely started of course she's not stopping anytime soon. Naruto/Sasuke didn't stop with their goals for 700 chapters. They spent 5 years of their lives over the course of the manga.

She was told Sasuke was gone on a mission but never started doubting the marriage until she was 12. Too old, mate. :/

Agreed but unlike her father she doesn't seem to show any rage or anger, she just shrugs her shoulders and continues to persist with Sakura's lies (the same way Sakura persisted with Sasuke's lies). The thing is she's not showing any sign of being overwhelmed by emotion, Itachi was the same.
No, she shows annoyance like Sasuke. She also cries easily when caught up in the moment like Sakura. Nothing like her uncle. Just her parents.

But it's also like telling someone they don't need to wait in line for food because they're royal family. She doesn't seem to get the concept of privilege, like normal children her age do.
Doesn't get the concept of saying "thank you" either. Lol

She shrugged it off because she clearly doesn't understand why she's being linked with something that she has no regard for. She doesn't want to be praised for the wrong things.
She doesn't know if it's wrong or not yet since she knows nothing about the Uchiha. She just shrugged it off because it's empty praise that she doesn't necessarily deserve. But it's not due to her conscience or feeling bad for the praise, otherwise she'd at least thank ChouChou for the thought. Just ignorant. Like the kids of her generation.

Agreed, but Sasuke's determination + Sakura's humility = Itachi's will :hmm:
Yes, however Sakura/Salad/Sasuke don't have humility. So no. Also, combining Sasuke's and Sakura's personalities don't equate to Itachi's. That would practically create the opposite.

/Not replying anymore but this was a nice discussion.

Yes, Sarada should be inspired by Itachi. That way, there's a {e^(i*pi)+1}% chance of her being a good character. Or in other words, it's the same chance that I have of eating pie today, which is 99%, add one, which is a 100%. All hail Sarada!

Beautiful pic. Nice shading, and Itachi's posture/hair looks great. His hair is covering his face, so that you cannot see the sad emotion. Made by one of the biggest Itachi fans/fanartists in this fandom to show the complexity behind Itachi's character. He's the kindest shinobi but the one who doesn't falter. He's not inherently good or bad, just a tragic hero who did what he thought was best in difficult scenarios of this series. He's a gentle shinobi, the only one making this paradox work in its truest form.

Though, admittedly inaccurate since the anime already has shown Itachi killing some of his clansmen and they didn't even have time to react or realize what was happening. No fear and no pain. lol Just one hit and done. Unlike how Pein destroyed Konoha and Hanzo's entire clan (that had everything destroyed D: ), or how Sasuke, Sarada's dad, wanted to destroy Konoha as all people, men, women, and children would scream in agony.

You know, it would be really interesting to see her reaction to learning that her uncle saved the Uchiha clan's honor (and the village/shinobi world) by taking the burden upon himself instead of allowing all Uchiha men, women, and children to be slaughtered in broad daylight in a war that would lead to a shinobi war and forever disgrace the Uchiha clan for committing the greatest sin shinobi can- going against their roots and disturbing the peace. And didn't even think of going to tell the truth so that he could have his own family, be known as the hero, etc because that would make clear the clan's intent and their plans for forced Uchiha leadership. That civilians and other citizens did not want, since the Uchiha had become corrupt over the years according to Orochimaru's words due to abusing power with just the police force alone. And that he didn't ever kill Sasuke when in reality he had no true benefit to keeping the truth hidden behind the massacre, it was just to benefit Sasuke and the clan itself.

Salad should probably make Itachi her role model instead of Sasuke, since he's the reason that she can even show her face as an Uchiha spawn in Konoha, while Sasuke is just the guy who hit it and quit it, then proceeded to leave for 12 years on a pointless journey looking for imaginary threats. Itachi is the reason Salad even exists, given the elder bro always protected Sasuke. Even after death because of Izanami on Kabuto, who saved Sasuke after Maddy wrecked him. Lol

tl;dr- Maybe Salad doesn't even deserve to meet Itachi. Hmmm?

Cute bait, though. ^^ Ironically (or obviously, I suppose), trolls don't understand the purpose behind the pic or know how popular it is with Itachi fans. Wish we had more like that.

ot: Nope. Salad is not like that. Same point of view I had in former posts.

What the? I suppose this is my fault. I should have put that i'm a Itachi fan and that post was for lulz under the pic. U_U
