From what I heard, she fought Menma alone in the first ambush. Also, I heard she said, "a true hero will save us from you!" and then, she gets ko. She did it alone because Naruto wanted to stay or at least that's what she believed. It happened right after the fence scene. Remember Sakura watch Naruto being overjoyed with the family, and Sakura didn't want to interrupt at all. My best guess is that she calls Naruto to the fence to ask about his opinion and once the truth was out, she decides to go alone and let Naruto stay with his family to be happy, regardless of they're not real, he can at least be happy. Perhaps saving Sakura was the trigger to Naruto, as in waking up from the illusion. I only know That takL from NF said that she was the one that brings back Naruto to reality. I'm assume that the fence and the confrontation with Menma was it. It doesn't help that Naruto was the only one that cares for Sakura.

Perhaps we can learn more if we can translate that s-rank mission that I posted here somewhere.

So she fought alone to protect Naruto's happiness in this world?

To some extent I believe Sakura expected Naruto to hate her for killing Sasuke, I don't think she expected Sasuke to try and kill her. I mean she was using a poison kunai not a bomb strapped to her chest. But none the less I don't think it was a suicide mission to Sakura. Plus, she didn't go after Sasuke for Naruto's happiness, she did it to save him from death and to stop Sasuke from going in deeper to the darkness.

As for RTN, Sakura most likely wants Naruto to stay and enjoy his family while she goes to fight Tobi/Menma. Not so Naruto can stay in the genjutsu, but just because she doesn't want Naruto to have to make such a difficult decision. In the end in both situations Sakura is trying to be selfless for the sake of Naruto, though these are not the wisest decisions she has made and of course it makes it look like Sakura is going to purposely get herself killed.

[redragon88]

But why would she go on a suicide mission to preserve his happiness?? it doesn't make sense. How would her going on a suicide mission help preserve his happiness??

Sakura maybe thought that if she did that Naruto could experience his happy family life for a little longer. She knew he was feeling happy in this world, so maybe she wanted to prolong it as far as she possibly could.

Wel it was an ambush by Menma, but I heard Sakura was fighting alone and then Konoha got wiped out. Sakura was already sacrificing her happiness for his, so that's one thing that's right. Her life not sure. Well actually, she does put her life on the line when protecting Naruto during his amnesia, so yeah, that counts. Put it this way, in the final battle, Sakura puts her life on the line to protect Naruto and Naruto puts his life on the line to save Sakura from AU, hence put Itachi in charge to protect Sakura from interfering Naruto's fight.

Dude the first scene when sakura go to kill sasuke have two interpretations but if she really wanted to kill sasuke she would go with her teammates ( lee,kiba) why she put everyone to sleep?
why not only sai?

she wanted to do it alone but sasuke her stronger and kakashi said that sasuke is resistant to the poison she made on that kunai so her plan would fail since the begining that why i think even she had the best intentions i think she went on a suicide mission becasue she was desesperate, her plan to convince naruto failed and she knew that it would fail, but when she put her friends to sleep she started with improvisations.
Plus when she had the chance to kill sauske once and for all she said " i knew i could not do it.."

It may be because Sakura wanted to carry the burden of killing Sasuke all on her own shoulder. She wanted to be the one who Naruto could blame, not Lee, Sai or Kiba. She probably felt like she deserved the burden, the fault. I don't think it was for any other reason.

Edit: She probably knew she couldn't do it because of the outcome of her conversation with Naruto. It was him who said he didn't want to give up on Sasuke and said there was a reason that involved what Madara told him about Itachis truth. Naruto knew something she didn't and he was hiding. Plus, Sakura still loves him.

Oh I see, that makes more sense . Yeah, I'm definitely happy for this turn of events. I definitely can't wait for the movie now. If I think about it, this is more like Kage Summit arc 2.0 . Only this time, it's a hell of a lot better because Dr. Snakes isn't in the equation here.

Yes but she went on a suicide mission unconscious, she said i knew i could do it no matter of her determination or her sake for naruto she would fail when she would land the finishing blow and would die by the hands of sasuke.
she says ( i knew i could not do it...) her luck is that she's saved by kakashi on the first time and naruto on the second.


when sai told her about naruto feelings she cried and enter on a desesperation that's why earlier naruto says that she would do something without thinking.

sakura maybe intelligent or smart but sometimes she act based on her emotions.

I'm with you.

If Kishi didn't make it clear for Sakura in Kage Summit arc, then this movie will. Basically, Sakura is at the point where she is willing to sacrifice her life/happiness for Naruto. She may not know if it's true love, but of course, Kishi is building up to her biggest development. It's normal for women to not understanding her own feeling for one man. FMA did the same. I'm so going to love the final battle because it's all teamwork with Naruto and Sakura, and then his parents will join in, making a fan dream come true.

I love how Kishi made people rethink about the series in a lighter note, especially for Sakura. If you can make someone say, "Her development was remarkable." then you know you're doing something right. Plus, now people are seeing that NaruSaku is a serious deal for Kishi.

Sakura just witnessed her village be destroyed by Akatsuki (who is after Naruto may I add), almost lost Naruto, Tsuande was in a coma, Danzo was now Hokage and had an order to kill Sasuke, her teammates decided they would kill Sasuke, Sai comes in and tells her Naruto loves her and that Narutos pain is being caused by Sasuke and herself and finds out Naruto is out of the village to plea on behalf of Sasukes life.

Do you expect a girl do think everything through in that kind of situation? She didn't have much time either since Danzo put Sasuke up as a missing nin and knew Sasuke attacked another jinchuuriki and was being sought after by another village. The top of per priority at that moment was to take the burden off Naruto and keep him safe anyway she could.

Sorry but i'm not trying to take off her merit but she did not sacrifice her life/happines for Naruto but instead she was desesperate she thinks that she only bring burden and despair to him she was so desesperate that she wanted to do something for Naruto killing sasuke would stop naruto from risking his life so many times to bring sasuke back home, she did not do it because she love sasuke or something like that, she took that decision influenced by emotions.
wich is on her character a nice sweet girl, it's the same thing that she did when naruto was on 4th tails she rush towards him even knowing that naruto was out of control.
If u think on the scene with 4th tails and the scene with sasuke on the iron land u will see the same reaction.

[ciardha]

Which, interstingly enough we see paralleled in Minato during the Kyuubi attack flashback. He's older, more highly trained, so has more control over his emotions- but we do eventually see him get overwhelmed by it too and act on that alone.

that why i cant tkae that she did it for sasuke or she think carefully in a plan because the reaction on this scene with 474 is similar, she is smart and intelligent but she act based or her emotions she wanted to lift the burden on naruto the same way she wanted to do on 296 saying to naruto uncounscious that she would do it for him.
she rushs towards a naruto on the 4th risking her life the same way she did on 474.

Bolded: Ehhh.... not really. Winry realized her feelings pretty early on in the game.

Well, what motivated Sakura to take action against Sasuke was for the sake of protecting Naruto. What Sai explains there is that the love she feels for Sasuke is one that can allow her to kill him. Naruto was doubting Sakura's willingness to kill Sasuke because of her love, but Sai counters by saying that the love she feels is the type that can allow her to kill him.

Even if she wants to rescue Sasuke from the darkness, if it wasn't for Sai telling Sakura about Naruto's pain for carrying the burden of saving Sasuke, then Sakura wouldn't have taken action against Sasuke.

Which was what I was saying and I can't blame Sakura for acting out on it.

[TouKen4Life3g]

Bolded: Ehhh.... not really. Winry realized her feelings pretty early on in the game.

I don't mean how long it takes. The fact is that she didn't know what was it. It began when she said "I didn't know Ed has a large back" or whatever she said. Then we saw her on the train, and she collecting all strong moments that Ed shown. Then she said "I get it now. I'm...in love with Ed." It was short in FMA, but the fact is she entered a confused state of her feelings for Ed and then she knows what it was. Sakura is in a long state of confusion because of the whole situation. So now, we have to wait and see.

So Sakura was sacrificing her happiness for Narutos sake by staying in this world?

Oh so when she got ambushed thats when she decided she was determined to fight them alone?

Sorry im trying to understand this properly.

I understand.

As for Sakura, it could be both cases, if not more like she wants him to spend his happiness with his family before evrything goes back to normal. She didn't want to interfere his happiness after watching him happy through a window. Sakura might fight Menma on her own, so she can prevent him from interfering Naruto's happiness. She probably knew that she has no chance, which is why she knows Naruto will save her and the village. She tried to prevent Naruto interfere because she knows Naruto will go on a suicide mission, hence her eager wants to fight along side but Itachi prevented her. Naruto chose her because he knows how much she means to him and the world he's in isn't his. Her talk with Naruto in the fence and during the confrontation with Menma is his wakeup call. It's completely sealed when no one but him cares for Sakura.
