@Eric The "anything" I was referring to was Naruto saying he liked Sakura before Sakura went ahead and stammered over words as she tried to say her goal was to win Sasuke's acknowledgement. Of course it's great for her to achieve that dream. But as you could see by the rest of her introduction, Sasuke pretty much was everything (outside of what she hated, LOL). That's...disgusting. And that's the problem ALL of the Rookie Nine girls had from the beginning, resulting in us finding them annoying and weird (no wonder Tenten is Kishi's favorite). As for the quote, I don't remember her saying that, but regardless here's how I interpret that. There are plenty of winters (times when the love interest isn't really interested at all), but sometimes those winters have eternal blizzards (the love interest does bad things, dies, etc.). It's those times where the hope of spring comes somewhere else. And if can endure in that way like a ninja, then it has sheer beauty, never losing to the cold.

And this is starting to sound shippy, so let's stop while we're at it.
