Hey guys. I wanted to delve further into the theme of love that seems to be driving icicles through you guys. It's NOT all romantic love. Here's how I interpreted love in the story. Each of the members of Team 7 seem to focus all of their attention on one aspect of love. For Naruto, it was camaraderie love. For Sasuke, it was familial love. And for Sakura, it was romantic love. All of their approaches to each aspect of love, however, have one thing in common - each of them think they know everything about it, yet they know nothing at all. I'm going to try and focus on each of them as they find themselves improving these aspects of love. Kishi implemented Naruto's and Sasuke's development in these roles perfectly. Sakura's? Not so much. And it's not just because she ended up with Sasuke, but also because we never really got into her head and found out what kept her going. And then there's the whole thing with love triangles and what not...
