Save yourself Narutard
yes.
it got even worse when naruto didn't believe her and called her out on her bullshit.
Sakura was never a good character to begin with. But yeah this entire scene was cringe m, I'll give you that
Yes. Kishi basically slam dunked her straight into the trash with that scene.
Has literally anyone else done this?
I don't think so. Sakura is the single most unlikeable shonen heroine
What happens next? Haven't read/seen naruto in like a decade
What was posted hereAnd yes the whole thing was retarded.
Aside from the complaints of hurt and offended incels with ptsd of someone fake-confessing to them, i never really got why do people hate this scene so much
Naruto sees through her emotional manipulation and tells her to fuck off but with prettier words
Forget about that one.
Its this one that is confusing
>scenes women will never understand
Are you a sociopath? It's pretty obvious. What she did was horrible and extremely harmful.
That's just her typical bitchy attitude. The psychological pain Naruto must have felt during OP's pic is probably far worse
Yes. Fuck everything about what she did here.
This is the only correct way to respond to this moment:

I should've been true. Sakura deserved it.
It's not as "horrible" as people make it out to be. This is nothing compared to what Naruto went through before and after, yet this small incident is a particular situation that makes people seethe like crazy, because it is close to reality and they can self-insert as poor little victims.
Sarada should've been the result of one of Orochimaru's test tubes.
I hated her since this and she never redeemed herself.
God, english dubs are so bad
Sakura's been irredeemable for a lot longer than that, OP.
Yeah, it's hard to excuse how much of a complete asshole she was right from the start. I know she was just a kid, but goddamn, even kids often know not to pick on each other about things like dead parents. Even when I was young while watching and reading this stuff she felt inexcusably bitchy and tactless, like she had no filter and would just say any hurtful thing she wanted even when it might work against her.
what the fuck is wrong with this cunt
isn't there a war veteran with no legs that she could pick on instead of a kid, the soulless witch
>It's not as "horrible" as people make it out to be
It is. Naruto protected and cared about her for years. Sakura's actions are dehumanizing and psychopathic. She can't even tell she's doing something wrong
>it is close to reality
Maybe. That doesn't make it any better though
>they can self-insert as poor little victims
Are they supposed to relate to sakura instead? Not everyone is an asshole like you
Naruto's been telling her for years that he likes her, and is constantly trying to make her biggest dream come true. Then she comes in and tells him in no uncertain terms that she'll settle for him because Sasuke was unobtainable for her at that time. It's really cold. Then she's confused about Naruto being offended by her telling him to his face that she'll begrudgingly settle for him in lieu of Sasuke. It couldn't be more of an insult if she was trying to actively be insulting, and yet she just does not get what she's doing wrong. She's a fundamentally shitty person who only cares about her own feelings.
It just solidified how little Sakura cared about people or understood the breadth of the effort the war and sasuke’s rescue was ruining everything. She has this inflated self-importance that’s always prominent but never is more obnoxious or patronizing than in this arc, this scene in particular
Nothing better to make friends with the edgy kids in class than to try to out edge them with some good old 911 jokes.
Those few weeks were glorious.
Especially when the edgy kid in question lost his parents during 911.
Friendly reminder that literally all of the evidence points to Madara winning and literally everything from the Black Zetsu retcon onwards is just the Infinite Tsukuyomi illusion.
Sasuke used to know what was up.
I mean she was a child. And Konoha hushed up the circumstances behind Naruto's parents disappearing
This would actually be kino
So what if she was a child? There's no indication that she's changed.
I acknowledged that she was just a kid, but like I said, even when I first consumed this as a kid myself I found her actions and choice of words often inexcusable, not to mention just plain foolish to say out-loud instead of in your own head. Her not knowing that Naruto's parents are war heroes doesn't justify her mocking him for having dead parents. That attempt at a point is nonsense.
>she was a kid
I wasn't this retarded or evil when I was 13 though. Would you really have said something like that about a classmate who lost his parents at that age? (even if you didn't know how it happened, I don't see how it matters)
Why the hell would the reason for his parents being gone matter? She knows he doesn't have parents, she lives in a post-war, post-nine tails attack society. Even if she doesn't know about any specific event, she surely has to understand that his parents must be gone for some tragic reason. She's literally training to be a child soldier. She's not stupid. She's cruel.
She's implying everything regarding Sasuke is actually about her. She thinks Naruto doesn't actually care about him as a friend and is only seeking his return to make her happy
Sakura doesn't care about anyone other than herself, period. She doesn't even care about Sasuke beyond his appearance; she's more interested in the aesthetics of being with him. They have nothing in common and she's often trying to change him, such as all the times she tried to convince him to give up on revenge and just be her husband, back when they were all teenagers. She doesn't care about who he is so much as how he can impact her. The way she interacts with others always follows this.
So she saved Kankuro to just look reliable. Got it.
I was 14 when I read that page. I dont feel like I was the most empathetic kid around, but even I felt like that was strangely out of line. At the time I thought it was meant to show she lived a very protected life where the idea of someone not having parents never entered her head until recently. Something that I as an adult know shouldnt be possible, she's living in a ninja village for fucks' sake
Even kids dont talk trash about another kid having no parents.
Is Sakura the most realistic female in shonen history?
>She's literally training to be a child soldier.
Maybe that's related? I wonder how long these kids think they're gonna live for, anyways
unironically probably yes. certainly the most realistic depiction of teenage women
>There are people who like this cunt
I don't get it.
I dont think very many people made it far enough in Shippuden to see this arc who originally liked Sakura. I know I didnt when it was new
He was helping them with a mission against the Akatsuki, and Sakura knows that tracking the Akatsuki leads to crossing paths with an Itachi-hunting Sasuke. This isn't rocket science.
We never really get much with Sakura and her parents, do we? That's a sort of major gap that seems important
Just a reminder that said memory was actually Naruto transformed as Sasuke.
She actually had not a single good memory about him.
I've always hated that bitch since day one, when she started hitting Naruto for absolutely no reason.
But she wasn't doing that because she's some psychopath or something. Was that manipulative and kinda cruel? Yes, indeed. Why is Itachi allowed to do things hundreds of times worse in order to protect Sasuke, yet is never shitted on and gets to be called "perfect" and best brother ever?
That was done to protect Naruto. At this point he was having panic attacks, ggetting beaten, humiliating, crying and lying in depression because of that. Sai told her that she was partly to blame because of the promise, and I remember Naruto explicitly saying by the end of part 1 and beginning of Shippuden that he'll save Sasuke as a part of that promise. She just wanted to partly free him of his burden. Stop trying to act like she never cared about Naruto when in reality I'd argue that deep down she cared about him more than she ever did about Sasuke. She cried after finding out all the jinchuuriki burden, she cried and tried to ran and save him during 4 tails awakening, she cared about him.
I think in the anime we actually get one scene with Sakura's mom calling her off camera but that's it
She did though. Little stuff like him complimenting her genjutsu abilities, encouraging her and Naruto before Chunin exams, saving her and Tazuna and etc
>still considering Sakura a potential love interest even after the whole holding hands with Hinata scene
Naruto was the bad person here, especially considering he knew how much Hinata was in love with him
And then trying to kill her and everyone else.
So romantic...
never forget
The original point was "she didn't have a single good memory of him", which is just false and stupid.
what went so wrong?
Madara won.
I always find it funny that Ino is treated as the alpha bitch when all things considered she a was a pretty good friend to Sakura and all she did wrong was just liking Sasuke without knowing Sakura also liked him before the declared them both rivals and started acting sore with her.
I would have liked it if Ino won that fight in the exams.
Dude, if someone tried to kill me I would absolutely discard any good memories I had with them before they decided to pull my guts out with their own hands.
Kishi deciding to be as anti Naruto as he can.
He should just stick to sob backstories, antagonists that are actually right and emotional moments
It managed to be convoluted and bland at the same time.
Anti-Sakurafags that already hated her from Day 1 drumming this up as the reason to hate her. Even though this was the same arc where Sasuke went batshit and wanted to kill everyone and Naruto fainted over Sasuke facing consequences for war his crimes. None of Team 7 looked good in the Kage Summit arc.
>The psychological pain
Did we read the same manga about an orange-clad ninja?
Well this is you self-inserting your "realism" onto a story for teenagers. Not only they are shinobi that face this kind of stuff as a casual chore, this is a fucking fictional story where it doesn't really matter. No, this is not Naruto-explicit. If this was a realistic story, 80% of the cast would suicide or get chained to the bed with crippling depression and ptsd. Sasuke and Naruto would be long dead for sure. Or become academy shooters, which Sasuke came closer to. Sakura would probably be alright though
>Hinatafags upset tey got shit on in the other thread and made a Sakura bashing thread to "retaliate".
Wew.
Are you retarded?
Kishi overall was high during that arc
Oh, Naruto was absolutely the worst of all the series
>FUCK Y'ALL, IM GOING TO BRING JHONNY BACK FROM JOINING ISIS, EVEN IF HE KILLS ME.
Naruto btfos her along with all of his bros like Kiba and Kakashi
youtube.com
>for his war crimes
Why is that called a war crime if there is literally no war
This is actually the best part about it and the only thing he still had left for him from the original primise to not become a tool
>Naruto disrespects people.
>
>Sasuke disrespects people.
>
>Sakura disrespects people.
>"WOOOOOOW! WHAT A SHITTY CUNT BITCH!"
B-But user, muh characters should not have glaring and severe flaws, they should only be nice and likeable like the best boy Shikamaru!!!!
Naruto grew out of disrespecting people, and it was never as severe
Sasuke is literally one of the most hated characters ever, i don't see what you are trying to prove here
>Naruto grew out of disrespecting people, and it was never as severe
Remember when Naruto insulted Lee after he risked life saving him and his team from Orochimaru's sound goon squad?
Literally everyone hates Sasuke
We literally have Sasuke defense threads weekly.
It's sad that this is the actual line of thinking shikamarufags have.
It's also sad that Kishi treated him as his fave mary sue and never allowed him to suffer any actual consequences of his fuck-ups or narrative breaks, he never even acknowledged them as such. Only had other characters suck his dick with passion
Why are so obsessed? That thread is full of people saying they love Hinata
