Except that using either Hinata or Tsunade as an excuse for justifying Sakura is the real laughable thing.

Hinata's feelings for Naruto have real content. She was a meek individual, constantly put down by her father while her sister received praise, put down by her cousin Neji that hated her guts before Naruto knocked some sense into him, and in the midst of all that... She saw Naruto, that dealt with an arguably worse position, but he still remained strong and resolute. His will couldn't be broken, and she admired that. Admiration turned into love eventually, and she has displayed that countless times, while Sakura has done nothing. Example. During Pain's invasion, Sakura just sits on her ass. Sure, she did some healing, but in case nobody noticed, half the time all she did was shout out, "Naruto! Naruto! Please save us!". And then Pain stabs Naruto down to the ground, she does nothing. Meanwhile, Hinata jumps in, gets beaten the shit around the place repeatedly, and yet risks her life, knowing she can't win, but risks her life to at least get Naruto freed from the rods that were keeping him tied to the ground. She has stood on the front lines of war for him, put her heart on her sleeve for him, she has done so much that to even compare her to Sakura is an incredible insult.

Tsunade and Jiraiya... All right, well sure, there is somewhat of an argument there. But you have to remember that Tsunade's love was with Dan. She had a real connection with him. She admired him, loved him, he was everything to her. And then he died. Very few of us, if not anybody, can understand what it feels like to lose somebody that we have such a strong connection with. It's painful. And for the longest time, even through Part I in the manga, she still wasn't completely over it. How could she love Jiraiya when her regrets were still so strong and her heart already belonged to Dan? It wouldn't be even fair to Jiraiya anyways, to be loved so halfheartedly, and I'm sure that was part of the reason why she never had a relationship with him. You can't compare that to Sakura because Sakura has never had any real connection with Sasuke to the point that it would turn her off to Naruto entirely.

Sakura's feelings have absolutely no content. Furthermore, she's been chasing a guy that has, time and time again, not only outright shown that he has no interest in her, but couldn't care less whether she lives or dies. She's chasing a clown like this, which she doesn't even have any real emotional connection with, it's entirely one-sided and based on shallow factors, while Naruto has saved her life countless times, even in Part I against Gaara, and she still doesn't give two shits. Sure, you can argue she doesn't love Naruto, and you shouldn't have to owe somebody your love. Fine, I agree with that, it's true. But she doesn't even bother giving him a chance. Instead, she prefers to just continue chasing the runaway Uchiha brat.

Slut, whore, ho-bag, whatever you want to call Sakura. But the bottom line is? She's a horrible person. She's like... a glowing symbol of why relationships in the real world never form between the people who deserve to be together and why divorce rates continue to skyrocket.
