ramenanmitsu, Why do you find this incessant need to turn this into 'Naruto VS Sakura: Who is more to blame' contest..? Why do you find it necessary to always twist all the blame onto Naruto when anyone even tries to point out Sakura's faults..? Why do you automatically assume that anyone who dares to point out Sakura's flaws are anti-Sakura..?
AHK asked whether Sakura was getting the same level of hate that is being directed towards Naruto in the Japanese fandom. He's pointing out Sakura's words/ actions in 699 were simply awful. He's not the only one who thinks so ! You say '' Naruto was also awful '' when there was no need to bring Naruto in the equation. Its not as if he said Naruto was flawless. Heck, he even agreed with you and pointed out both characters suffered. Now you say '' Okay, but Naruto was more bad. ''.....!
Why..?! This is not a contest man 
Even the staunchest of Sakura fans don't defend her words in 699. Why ? Because they care about her, they care about her development. They wanted Sakura to become a strong, independent woman who won't take crap from any man, especially Sasuke. Instead we get a half-assed apology from Sasuke and Sakura says - " Sorry..? for what..? ". It was disappointing to say the least that she felt Sasuke didn't even need to apologize for all the physical and mental pain he caused her.
It did not end there. She proceeds to ask if she could accompany him in his journey of atoning for his sins. Kishi destroyed her character right there and threw all her development down the drain.
Think about the implications of her words. The moment Sasuke was on the good side again, she is ready to forgive all the crap he did and prepared to leave everyone behind and go with him. Does it not make her look as if she used Naruto and everyone merely to get Sasuke back..? Does it not make her look selfish..? Does her blushing and words to an undeserving Sasuke not destroy her integrity as a character and as a woman..?
You argument is that she only wanted to leave on a temporary basis and that its fine for a wife to go with her husband. For one thing, Sasuke is obviously distant from Konoha and everyone there, it wasn't temporary. As far as the second point is concerned, they were not married. Forget married, they did not even have a decent resolution ! We see Sasuke apologize, we see Sakura cry and call him 'baka' and then... that's it.
699 hurt Sakura and you know that. And just because I point out her flaws DOES NOT mean I'm pro-Naruto and anti-Sakura. I have no problem in acknowledging that the Last destroyed Naruto.
Just because I like a character does not mean I should ignore their flaws and shift blame onto other characters. This would make me no different from those insane Hinata worshippers. If pointing out certain flaws of a character makes me an anti, I guess I'm anti-every character in Naruto.
Sigh......we ended this debate ages ago. And you want to bring it up again? Me and AHK agreed and agreed to disagree on some points.
And yeah way to twist my words. You talk as if I never acknowledged how 699 kitten on Sakura's character. Which is exactly what I agreed on with AHK.
Feel free to continue with your LAPs. Because I don't. Not until you actually read what I wrote. But then again, I had enough team kitten for the day that I wouldn't respond even if you did. Thanks.
