@Jason Ever heard of people who are average-looking? You don't have to be just beautiful or just ugly, jeez. There is such thing, ok? You probably don't understand because you've probably lived in a stereotypical world where everything on the internet is right. Look, as a girl, you don't want to be mistaken for someone's girlfriend when you're not. Trust me, it gets annoying for girls too so sometimes we need to make it clear that we are not! You do realize anime exaggerates every single thing so all that punching really wouldn't even happen in the real world.

She only told Naruto she loved him because she needed a way to stop him from going after Sasuke. You saw how she cried because Sai told her how much he suffered because of Sasuke. She cares about Naruto, otherwise she wouldn't have cried her eyeballs out for him. Even if she told him directly "don't go after Sasuke", he would never have listened to her. Of course, she isn't the best liar so she got caught but she had good intentions.

You don't understand how it feels to be in someone else's shadow. It seriously sucks. Every time a person comes to you they're all like "oh, you're this person's friend/sister/brother" or something like that. Nobody cares who you are. Sakura was just trying to be more like Ino and decided enough was enough and wanted to get out of being Ino's shadow. You don't even realize how much it sucks to be in someone else's shadow, because it sucks. Sakura doesn't want to be looked down on by Ino but instead be her equal, that's why she said "we're rivals" and not "I hate you now".

Sakura cried to Naruto because she felt bad about herself not being able to stop him. You didn't realize in the next scene she told herself "Sakura, you are pathetic the way you are now". That showed her will to become a better person. That is a really strong move, to go from a nobody to a talentless somebody. If she really was a slut like you said, she definitely would've found someone else to satisfy her "needs". But she didn't. And you wanna know why? Because she cares. She loves a man and will not stop loving him because she cares about him. Sakura is not heartless, that's why she cries. She comes off as mean and violent to hide the girl who is insecure about herself.

Here we go again, the famous "hInAtA fOuGhT pAiN, sAkUrA dIdN'T sO sAkUrA sUcKs" argument which is so used and pointless. Sakura was not calling for help but instead, saving Tami and her grandma, healing the people who were injured from Pain's attack and looked after Tsunade and then later on saved Hinata's life. Sakura only hit Naruto after that because she was worried about his damn life. She reprimanded him for taking a big risk, which showed how much she worried about his life. She was only mad at him because she was worried he might die.

@LegionHero I don't agree with you when you said that her love for Sasuke is annoying. It's basically saying loyalty and acceptance is annoying. Loving someone even when they're in their darkest times is annoying. Forgiving them for their sins is annoying. Never loving another person is annoying. Unconditional love is annoying. Yeah, true love doesn't exist if you say her love for Sasuke is annoying. Don't get me wrong, I ship SasuNaru. I just thought that Sakura's love for Sasuke is just so strong that it breaks my own heart.

Btw you are right. Her looks are subjective and depends on the viewer. But it's still not nice to just tell someone to their face that they're ugly, whether it's true or not.

I'm surprised too that this thread is still alive tbh. Btw this isn't relevant but I saw this meme of someone cosplaying Kakuzu in front of an ATM machine and the text read: "still a better love story than twilight". I just thought it was funny.
