I must admit that Sakura's naivety when it comes to Sasuke is highly annoying. It took her all of this time to realize that Sasuke doesn't care about her even when the guy tried to take her life. Obviously he doesn't care about you if he tried to kill you, right Sakura?   Someone needs to write Kishimoto a letter in Japanese and inform him that girls are not as dense as he believes us to be. 
 
After I read that line over, it sort of pissed me off. 

Well like the user said above you, it's not too much to be blamed. You would have thought a reunion by fate would allow you to show some sign of care to the team. Every one of them has a reason behind them for Sasuke, just like protecting Naruto's part. I remember some thought he cared in a good way. Later in the same chapter, turns out he did it because he wants to kill him for himself. They just got off talking about Team 7 and teamwork, and this is what she gets? Sasuke is not in chemistry with this team.

I think it would have been better if Kakashi or Naruto was the one who noticed that Sasuke didn't give a kitten. With Sakura it gives the slight impression that she still wants Sasuke's reciprocated feelings through worry.

 

Kind of reminds of that one pokemon episode where Chikorita gains a crush on Ash and she runs away so that he'll start worrying about her.

 

Don't get me wrong I know the situation is entirely different since Sakura didn't do it to try and get Sasuke's attention.

she almost got chopped into half by that person after all.. even though i didn't like it coz it's a very inappropriate time to think of stuff like that, it's sort of normal to be shocked by that person's actions.. plus she didn't see what happened to karin at the bridge.

Can I add something?

Do you remember when everyone started fighting the Ten-Tails clones and Sakura jumped ahead? Sasuke jumped in and took out the ones about attack Sakura (as as Naruto.) Many people then said "Oh wow, Sasuke cares about Sakura and saved her. SS is canonz." Notice how this chapter had a similar set-up? Almost word for word where Sakura dashes in first, then Naruto and Sasuke follow with Sasuke reacting first.

Anyone notice that?

Okay, my reason for bringing this up is that like I said, people back then took that as Sasuke caring so much for Sakura and it actually made Sakura smile because she thought they were a real team again. Now a similar situation occurs and Sasuke was literally willing to go through Sakura instead of around her. That's the whole point of Sakura's reaction and why Naruto had to grab her. It just proves that even back at that chapter Sasuke didn't care. He still doesn't. He only sees opportunities, not friends.

Yeah, Sakura probably would have been fine and just regenerated from the attack, but that's not the point of it. You don't use your teammates as shields and it makes them lower than trash. That is basically the same as abandoning them. The principle of the situation is that Sasuke just didn't even care. He didn;t care about Sakura's well-being and figured "Oooh, opportunity."

No, seriously, put yourself in Sakura's situation. Would you think he was being a good friend or teammate?

I have no likes but that was a great post  , and yet people will still ignore and claim that she was sad because she's still in love with him ignoring the previous chapter  and that it was all about T7 in this one <sign> .

Wait a moment.....Reading this chapter for the sixth time made me think of another possibility.....

Could it be possible that Sasuke was trying to attack one of the Rinbo that had Sakura? Naruto had to jump in to protect her, not because of Sasuke, but because he sensed a second Rinbo, other than the one Sasuke tried to attack. Sakura was shocked because she doesn't know about the Rinbo, and therefore thought that Sasuke tried to slash her. Where Sasuke tried to slash was around Madara's stomach, and it's possible that it wouldn't have reached Sakura. It also makes sense with the conversation right afterwards between Naruto and Sasuke that there are other Rinbos around. (The reason I thought up of this was because I thought it was uncharacteristic of Naruto to continue talking about the enemies powers with a guy who tried to slash Sakura. I would think that he'd get angry.)

It took a moment later to move for Naruto because he was stunned and probably worried. His emotions might have delayed him. Whereas Sasuke doesn't really have such emotional delays so when he saw what Sakura did, he just took the chance.

Of course this doesn't credit SasuSaku in anyway. I'm not going to brush off this possible scenario unless proven wrong.

Naruto already knows it. Right now, it's not the time to think about that as they should work together to defeat a greater evil. The problem is that they're working together and no reaction from Sasuke whatsoever. He's like 100% on his own, only asking for more firepower (Naruto) to take them out rather than "take them out, but do be careful." Last time they were enemies, now not fighting each other but sure feels like disconnected.

The problem is that we see she wasn't even close enough for Sasuke to slice her when Madara deflected them both. He likely was just going in for the kill from the side, also Sasuke was approaching from behind so its not like she could see him getting ready to slice her in half.

What I'm saying isn't about cutting Sakura, rather showing no concern throughout that moment. Naruto reacted and get her out of there. Where's "Are you guys ok?" Where's shifting his eyes on them? Where's any concerns? That's my main argument. Put it this way, he's doing what Kakashi did a long time ago once Rin got captured: meh.

No, seriously, put yourself in Sakura's situation. Would you think he was being a good friend or teammate?

Plus, Sasuke didn't know that Tsunade's technique regenerates from any injury He never saw that technique occur, so how could he know that Sakura would have been fine? He wouldn't. he just saw achance to strike and was the first to literally take advantage of that.

"Sasuke reacted first." Yeah, which means he was reckless not like Naruto who wanted Sakura to wait and cared about her safety being a distraction. Sasuke didn't try and stop her knowing that she doesn't know anything. He didn't care.

Sasuke is different than Naruto, being honest i dont care about him but Sasuke doesnt care and he doesnt look at Sakura has his teammate he's not obligated to like them in return, it's just Naruto and Sakura with their "Muh feelings" on wanting to bring him back.
He saw Sakura as a nuinsance, she attacked Madara recklessly and he had two choices, either fight on his own or save Sakura, he chose to first one, he's cooperating with Naruto because he acknowledge him as an equal in terms of power and trust his abilities, Sakura is weak and he doesnt like to fight alongside weak people.
In a way Sasuke wasnt reckless, he just doesnt acknowledge Sakura as his teammate.

Sakura didnt took that in consideration and was going to be cut in half, hope she stos with this and put her head on the right place, Sasuke is not to be trusted.

I think we should all be weary about next weeks chapter, remember what Road to Ninja taught us about the Genjutsu. The Jutsu did not put them in a world their heart desires but in a world they thought they desired, for Naruto it was his hearts desire, he had his parents, and apparently according to the CD Drama the Sakura of that world loved him. Sakura on the other hand didn't get what she wanted but what she thought she wanted, her parents were heroes, she got freedom and recognition, and oddly even in her idea of her ideal world Sasuke did not love her, her ideal world had Sasuke being attentive to her but not love her...hmm...wonder if Kishi was telling us something. And before anyone says it's not Canon, it was written by Kishi so he would have written it with ow hhe knows the charactors so holds some truths.

 

So next week I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't look positive for usat first, but I think it could actually work out in our favour as it could force Sakura to confront her feelings and realise who she really wants.

Nope http://www.mangapanda.com/naruto/676/8 clearly shows Sasuke aiming for Madara top right panel, only to be blocked by the second shadow Marada next panel.

That's what I think'll happen. Sakura will be forced to confront the feelings in the Genjutsu most likely. Reminds me of that episode of Inuyasha where everyone was pretty much dead and Inuyasha was missing Kagome so much that he wanted her to tell him to sit. LOL. They came back, of course.

If he was trying to attack the clone, then why didn't he just come from the side instead of behind Sakura? There were many points of opening that Sasuke could have taken and since he can see Limbo clones there is no reason why he wouldn't just dash to the side and take them out.

There were many openings to Madara at this point and literally Sasuke tried to go through Sakura with that opening.

[Gojira]

Ok once again Sasuke was not planning on cutting Sakura in half, there was no real proof of that and she had no way of knowing it even if he was trying to because he was approaching from behind.

[Otaru]

Ok am I the only one in here that thinks that Sakura was amazed by the fact that Madara was floating up in the air not about Sasuke's Sussano ?

 

Even if Sakura was amazed by Sasuke's susanoo, what's the big deal with it ? I really don't get it.

If SS believes that this make SS canon, they are completely out of it. Plain and simple.

SS seems less and less believable.

Him approaching from behind is the proof. Why not just approach from the side or behind Madara?

Hm? What are you talking about? I wasn't addressing my post to you at all. I didn't read your posts so I don't really know.

Oh sorry. I didn't mean to start off saying that you were talking to me. It's more diving into the discussion and see what do you think of it. No hard feeling.

[Inferno180]

Am I the only one who is starting to think this is worse than the land of iron, I mean for christs sake, this time they are on the same side, the only thing worse than killing a former ally is doing it to a current one for an opportunity attack.

 

No seriously, Sasuke had no regard for her safety, she is slowly starting to see that he isn't who she thought he was and that change just continues, literally this is a continuation of the notion that her feelings changed. Naruto came to rescue her, Sasuke only wanted to cleave into Madara, even if he had to go through Sakura.
 

Literally I am just waiting on that sasuke acts like a jerk again when his plan comes into action, no seriously I am going to wait to see how SS fans argue how its somehow beneficial or hinting SS if that event turns out to be something sinister that it ends up harming naruto himself.

No, I agree with you. He is the epitome of scumbag and he only cares about his own needs and wants. Kishimoto even said this himself. Sasuke wants to kill Madara and he is willing to do anything to achieve that goal. Even sacrificing all of his former classmates if that's what it takes.

 

What's worse is I think Sasuke thinks what he is doing is righteous.

Then explain their reactions Sasuke's and why did Naruto suddenly felt the need to speed up ?

Oh no it was just that everyone in here believed so in the beginning but that was not the case , her reaction came after the NaruSasu attack  while previously shielding from it if she was amazed she was amazed by the magnitude of their attacks or because Madara was floating  . Either way SS have been Dead for a very long time this chapter just confirms it even though everyone thinks that she was sad because she still loves him i disagree with that it was because he didn't care for the team and their teamwork he didn't care for them as nakamas .
