Well, Naruto does have strong patience with abusive women. For example, there was the time when Naruto allowed himself to get brutally abused by a random woman just to protect Sasuke. He didn’t complain at all. I forgot her name, but she was friends with Killer Bee. Naruto doesn’t always defend himself when he should be defending himself, especially from Sakura’s rage-induced violence against him.

Yes, I notice how it’s drawn, and I know, from the writers, it’s intended for the fans who possess a dark and twisted sense of humor; however, I hate watching people getting brutally abused. It makes zero difference whether it’s serious or comical, abuse is still abuse, and thus equally as bad.

Sakura’s got a bad temper? Yea, only when it comes to Naruto for stupid reasons. That’s her biggest flaw.

I disagree with your opinion on love. In my opinion, love should always, always be about treating each other perfectly well unconditionally, and never yelling at each other, and certainly never hitting nor insulting each other. The number one reason NaruHina works flawlessly is due to my opinion on true love.

I really wish Lisanna did try to “steal” Natsu away from Lucy because she loves him and Lucy doesn’t. Remember that Lucy has zero interest in Natsu. NaLu is loveless and chemistry-less, and sometimes an abusive relationship. Lucy sometimes physically abuses Natsu and yells at him for stupid reasons, and he sometimes abuses her, but in different ways.

Yea, like I said before, Sakura’s hot temper is her worst and most annoying flaw.

You cannot blame someone for who they are. It's not a dark or twisted sense of humor because it's seen in all these kinds of super long animes and everyone laughs because it's actually supposed to be light-hearted. You're taking the punches and her bad attitude too seriously. It's not abuse when not even the opposite side cares. All these kinds of animes have it. Look, sometimes I hit my friends when I'm on a rage, but just like in Naruto, I've never sent them to a hospital. Sakura has never given Naruto such hard punches that he has to go to a hospital, even if he does have super-human regeneration powers.

NaLu is not loveless. Lucy does show care for Natsu, even though she doesn't show it too often. Not to mention, Natsu shows up at her house when she's naked. NAKED! Who wouldn't want to punch a man like that, even if it is someone that you care about?! Lucy shows appreciation for everything Natsu does and she thanks him. Yes, he annoys her but who doesn't annoy each other? Lisanna doesn't show care for Natsu in any other arc but the Edolas arc. After that, they just stopped spending time together. Why? Because they've lost that bond. Sure, Lisanna hugged him when she saw him but she did the same thing to Makarov one episode later.

Your point of love is not exactly real love. Yelling, screaming and fighting can happen between lovers, but it's not like they break up right away. Love is about accepting each other no matter what the other person is like. Naruto loved Sakura (probably because he wanted to get her from Sasuke like Sakura mentioned in The Last) and all through her punches and kicks, he said nothing because he loved her and he accepted her flaws. If you can't accept the flaws of your significant other, then you're not cut out for love. Fights, screaming, yelling and throwing things at each other happen in love, but that only makes your relationship stronger because you both know that you can endure hardships together and your relationship becomes stronger. Naruto and Hinata never had a lover's spat, which means that we don't know if their relationship is strong enough because they've never gone through any of the challenges of love together. Love is not about sparkles and paradise and everything is beautiful. No, love has its ugly sides, and that's what makes true love strong.

Throughout every spat, every attempted murder, every ugly side of Sasuke shown to Sakura, she accepted him the way he was and continued to love him. She many times tried to stop him too, but couldn't because she cared too much. I'm not a shipper person, but I can tell that Sakura showed genuine love and loyalty. Sure, Hinata was also loyal to Naruto, but she was always watching from afar and never open about her feelings about him to him. Openness is important in love because how else are you going to communicate your feelings?
