Why there's so much Sakura-love-love

Mar 16, 2008 23:47

I've been feeling restless all day, so I guess since I'm being so morose, I'll talk a bit of about my favorite character, Haruno Sakura, from Naruto - the manga - today. I've been thinking as an author what direction I want her to go in as a character. Not just because I have no life (even if it may seem that way to some of you out there) but I ( Read more... )

"I agree, Sasuke does have a chance to be happy again... but he just seem like a character that will always be emo. "

I don't see him that way. I guess that's where our opinions differ. I think with time and maturity he can grow out of it. He's so "emo" now because he's at that angtsy point in his life. Until he proves to me he can't move on from that in some way, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. I already see a markedly different in the Sasuke of now than the one of before, just like I see that Naruto's calmed down a LOT from how he used to be. XD

"I think this, in itself, is a great premise for many fics, if people are willing to explore Sakura, not just in the romance section of Naruto, but as a human being."

Totally agree. :)

I suppose I did misunderstand you a little. I apologize for that.

I don't support NaruSaku at all anymore. I have paragraphs of reasons why I don't. The main one is Sakura's tendency to punch Naruto's lights out because he's offended her in some way. I don't see that as romantic. Naruto should never be anyone's doormat. Maybe it's because I don't have a sense of humor but I don't like that aspect of their relationship. If they become romantically attached, that would need to stop.

My other reason: Sasuke already had one person lie to him about loving him. Whether or not he loves Sakura back in the end or not, if he sees her go off with Naruto, given how "emo" he is, he may focus on the fact "wait she said she loved me but now she's with Naruto then that means she lied to me like Itachi lied to me about caring about me." If I were Sasuke, Mister Lives In the Past, what reason would I want to have anything to do with her anymore? What other bond did they have between each other? Not friendship, that's for sure.

Of course, this rant holds no water, (though it's fun to debate it in the debate forums!) because we don't know how Sakura still feels about Sasuke. We'll find out soon enough. I'm with you: I just want Team 7 back together, fighting at each other's sides and be a complete whole team/family again. That's how best the three work together and it's something that's more enduring, more beautiful and stronger than who winds up with who in the end. We all have our pairing preferences but we should all want Team 7 together again. It's what matters most about this story.
