This is so like the abused wife syndrome. Sasuke's terrible. An awful, awful person. Naruto's wonderful and stands by her. But what does Kishimoto say? That Sakura would be a terrible woman if she didn't stay with the man who tried to kill her, put her down in front of their peers over and over, and has to show love with a flick on the forehead? It's Sakura's fault?
Why the hell wouldn't she change her heart for Naruto?! Sasuke's treatment of her is all his fault. Yet Sakura's the terrible woman if she leaves him.
You know what, if it goes down this way, then I can see why an active woman would scare the hell out of him, and he had to reduce Sakura to being ultra-passive.
I have to wonder about these comments though, seems like such a strange thing to say a year before the ending. In fact, all of this does. I'm getting so disgusted with the misinformation and the movie leaks and the slamming of Sakura, directly and indirectly. like I said, I'm just ready for this to be over.
Who skewers their own work this way and calls it marketing? Who? How is this a good thing?
I wonder if he meant that, after all that she had to put up with, if she stuck with Sasuke through all of that abuse, it would have been weird for something comparatively mundane to be the thing that causes her to change her mind. XD
