As for Sakura's violence towards Naruto, it's just an exaggerated version of close friendship. While normally one would sock their friend on the arm, friends in anime punch each other. Sakura can only show her violent side to Naruto is because their close friends. When you're friends with someone, you're allowed to see what they're really like. You don't always have to put up a mask in front of them. Naruto and Sakura considered themselves close friends, therefore they can bear to be themselves around each other.

That makes no sense. True friends don't beat each up for no reasons. The only good reason for friends to hit each other is when they're sparring in martial arts or training to become stronger.

Sakura wasn't as close to Rock Lee as she was to Naruto. Sure they were nice to each other and exchange small talk, but they're not up to the point where they can show each other their dark sides like Sakura and Naruto.

Well, I remember she always treated Rock Lee with gentleness and kindness and never once physically abused him, but when it come to Naruto, she would usually complain to help him or yell at him for unjustified reasons.

That Boruto video was biased. Everyone has their own opinions. I know a lot of people who find Temari a funny wife and mother. As I said before, matter of audience. Besides, she would've been reported if it was considered abuse to the people in Konoha.

Doesn't change the fact that deliberately hitting your husband is abusive and thus makes an abusive wife.

Yes Naruto married Hinata, that's fine and blah blah blah. But what I was saying was that he never stopped being friends with Sakura. If he hated the violence that much, he could've stopped talking to her and just told her to stop hitting him. Lovers may or may not equal friends, but friends does not equal lovers.

Due to Japan's double standards of "women can abuse men, but not vice versa", the writers don't allow Naruto to defend himself from physical abuse from women. Sure he never stopped being friends with Sakura, but he still stopped loving her and began loving Hinata because she treats him infinitely better than anybody else.

When people abuse others physically, it gives them mental scars. Sakura has neither given Naruto any mental scars nor has she ever sent him to the hospital.

Countless people get physically abused at places like school, public areas, etc, yet they don't end up in hospitals or get mental scars. Physical abuse is ANY amount or type of violence against the victim. Simple as that.

Normally when annoyed, friends would like, slap each others arms or elbow them in the ribs,

No, true friends would never do that.

But if he is doing something perverted, the first thing that comes to a woman's mind is self-defense. Sure, Sakura acts impulsively, but it's really just an exaggeration of screaming and slapping.

The same man who saved your life multiple times doesn't deserve any mistreatment even when he's acting perverted.

Because I genuinely love Sakura, I don't mind her dark side. If you actually care about someone, you should accept their dark sides. If Naruto couldn't handle her dark sides, then he should never have been her friend or had a crush on her. Besides, I can relate to her in several ways, that one of the reason why I love her so much. I think if she were a real-life person she would've just slapped Naruto on the back of his head instead of punching him.

That's not true love. True love is not only harbor positively strong feelings for your favorite character or person, but also wanting him/her to be at his/her best moral conduct and treating everybody equally and perfectly well. It's about wanting your favorite character to be a Mary Stu or Gary Stu. You shouldn't accept their dark sides. You should want them to immediately reform and change into the best of people moral-wise.
