Sakura was an okay character in Part-2.

@Keeptfighting

If you think that she snuck into his house just to steal underwear, what the heck?! That was never shown and she wouldn't do such a thing. She wanted Sasuke to be safe and not go down the wrong path. And if you read Sasuke Shinden, you see that Sasuke and Sakura have a very intimate relationship and are very close with each other and emotionally connected. At first her love started out as a fangirl love but it gradually turned into something else. In her dialogue she said stay first before saying stay with me if that can't make you happy. Basically she's putting his happiness first and her own happiness is only an alternative. Plus, in the Naruto Gaiden manga, the last bit of writing was "what reflected there was the real deal - love"

Sure, in the beginning she asked Naruto to bring Sasuke back, but eventually she tried to release him of that promise. Besides, Naruto told her he didn't want to bring back Sasuke just for her promise, it was because he wanted to. Sakura also cheered for him in the Chuunin Exams when everyone thought he would lose. In the canon manga, she even offered to feed him when he couldn't move his arm to feed him. Was that for her own benefit? Made soldier pills at maximum health level for them. For her own benefit? Although, they weren't the most delicious, but she didn't really have to go out of her way to make them soldier pills at their maximum healthiest. And she only hit him when he was annoying her. In a bunch of filler anime and filler arcs, she punches him a lot.

Lack of control over hormones? Everyone has been there at one point, you cannot expect everyone to be perfect at controlling emotions. Besides, Sakura wanted to be Ino's equal for once, not her shadow. She broke up her friendship with Ino so they could fight each other one on one and Sakura wouldn't be someone who Ino saw as less than her.

@Justin Holland I think she is something like that, but I don't think she's that bad an showing it. Maybe on some level, she can be rough around the edges but overall she means well and doesn't want to hurt anyone intentionally.

@ Jentaisenpai

As for our discussion on Sakura and her violent antics, I think we have to agree to disagree on this. Personally, I will never--I repeat, never-- like Sakura's physically abusive tendencies against Naruto nor her bad temper. Only thing I like about her are good qualities. I like her determination, intelligence, diligence, medical ninjutsu, and especially her strong romantic love for and patience with the man she loves (in her case, Sasuke), but I don't like Sasuke as a love interest for her. In my opinion, she's better than Nami (One Piece), Bulma (Dragon Ball Z), and Lucy (Fairy Tail).

@Uchiha Firebender Fanboy

Lololol, I feel so bad for you on the Avatar Wiki. I don't know Avatar except the movie filled with shiny blue animal guys but ya know, it's Avatar. Even so, fandoms of any kind shouldn't talk about sensitive real life political things unless it relates to the forum.

Well, ya know, there are just so many different things about one particular person you can't exactly like all of them. In my opinion, when you care about someone, you don't have to like all of their flaws but you do have to accept them. I do agree that Sakura has a strong determination to become better not just for Sasuke, but for her teammates, the people she cares about and the entire Konoha village. I don't exactly like her medical ninjutsu, but I do love the fact that she has saved many lives and eventually acquired the Byakugou Seal, which I'm pretty sure is at least jounin-level and only two people in this world has mastered it. I do love how much she cares about Sasuke and how strong her love is and how much she was willing to wait for him. A lot of people may argue that Hinata's love is more "pure" and whatnot, but you said in the beginning that you're a boy and you'd love to have a girl with the same kind of love as Sakura to love you. I mean, I'm a girl too, but if I were a boy, I would like a girl to be determined, strong-willed and doesn't only think about me but everyone else and is willing to wait for thousands of years for me. Ah, how romantic <3 <3 <3 Sasuke should've realized it sooner ;(

There are a few fictional characters I like, yet I refuse to accept their flaws. Flaws such as bad temper, physical aggression or violence, ungratefulness, etc. I can't accept any of these flaws at all, regardless of whether some people consider them serious or comical. Makes no difference to me.

I never quite understood why some people hated her just for loving and pursuing Sasuke when Naruto basically does the same thing not only for Sasuke but also for Sakura. Pretty hypocritical of them, wouldn't you say?

I like her medical ninjutsu a lot, but I wish she were also an all-powerful superheroine wearing a cape who constantly saves and rescues people.

That proves romance is her best quality.

Romantic love must include at least some amount of sexual attraction. Hinata does not only love Naruto for his positive traits but also finds him very attractive.

but you said in the beginning that you're a boy and you'd love to have a girl with the same kind of love as Sakura to love you.

Yes, but I would never want her to be violent or hostile towards anybody, much less her friends. It's a no-brainer to realize Sakura is a great love interest for Sasuke because of the way she treats him with so much kindness, gentleness, forgiveness, and so on. However, she would be a terrible love interest for Naruto because of the way she treats him with rage-induced violence and hostility.

I mean, I'm a girl too, but if I were a boy, I would like a girl to be determined, strong-willed and doesn't only think about me but everyone else and is willing to wait for thousands of years for me. Ah, how romantic <3 <3 <3 Sasuke should've realized it sooner ;(

Agreed.

How is this thread still going? At this rate, it'll cross the likes of Sasuke vs Naruto debates.

@Uchiha too long name, of course, that's your choice whether you want to accept those flaws or not. Although we may have a little difference in opinion about Sakura's violence, I understand that you're a person who doesn't really like violence, and I get that there are people like that in this world. I'm a person with a temper so I relate to Sakura when she goes on her rampages. Oh well, but you should realize that Sakura doesn't want to hurt Naruto intentionally, like how Karui wanted to hurt Naruto.

Yeah, I have to agree with you when some people say Sakura sucks because she pursues Sasuke and always takes Naruto's side when he pursues Sakura.

Well, not all humans are like that, and that's ok. Of course, who wouldn't want a person like that to be a main character, but humans are humans and humans have flaws. To me, a heroine should be someone with determination to be better, makes mistakes but realizes it, learns lessons throughout the series, just all in all....a person who goes through life. Although I'm not too keen on medical ninjutsu, I'm so proud that she opened up a mental clinic for children in Konoha hospital (Sakura hiden).

Romance is an awesome quality in Sakura, but I feel her determination and her strong will are also really good qualities as well. She changed from a nobody with no clan, no kekkei genkai, no power-up, no headstart, no natural talent, yet she cut away her previous self and changed into a strong-willed, powerful, kind and caring woman who is currently one of Konoha's strongest kunoichis.

Yeah, you are right that Hinata likes Naruto-kun's big warm hand (tbh, I've never seen her call him cute or handsome), a lot of Hinata fans say her love is more pure than Sakura.

Oh well, I'd actually love to be friends with Sakura. Naruto obviously loved being her friend, even after he stopped loving her as a love interest. Sakura obviously loves to be the disciplinary big sister figure to him and his friend. I don't ship NaruSaku, but I think they make a good friendship and bond. Although Sasuke and Sakura don't have that kind of relationship, I feel that their bond is so strong they don't need hugs and kisses to prove it to the people of Konoha, much less an object.

I'm curious though, what are your thoughts on Sakura's parenting? In my opinion, she's that kind of mom who will fight anyone who tries to hurt her baby and gets scary when mad. I think Sarada will grow up to be an awesome Hokage.

@Blaze LMAO I have no idea. Probably because no one bothered to close it and we're still in the middle of discussions. ;)

Retreat!!!! Can't win ;') sakura has no flaws, she's perfect.leave it at that.
