I could have forgiven the pairings and the ending if Kishi gave actually built up Sasuke and Sakura's relationship in the manga, and if he ever explained WHY Sakura loves him so much that she never even looked at the person standing next to her for years supporting her, stoppig her from falling over, willing to die for her, to lose break every bone in his body to fulfill a promise. I can't get my mind around why Sakura even liked Sasuke, She wanted to save him from his dark past, and she thought he was talented and good looking, That's not what you fall in love with, not something that would build so much affection for one person.
Sasuke never once showed her, he loved her, yet she continued to persue him, all he showed was willing to give their relationship a try, after he got his mind sorted.
I know Kishi used the line you don't need a reason to love someone, But you atleast need to know the person to love them...Sakura willingly gave up her entire life at 13 years old to love a piece of flesh, not what that piece of flesh contained. She saw a slab of meat she felt needed seasoning but she was fine with that, she doesn't need to confirve with him, go on dates, joke around, do the typical relationship stuf. Even when they were part of a team, how often did we see Sasuke even consider Sakuras idea's? Right to the end he discounted her as being useless.
Kishi ruined Sakura, for years I looked pass her faults, looked pass how sh*tty job Kishi did to show us who she really is, because I actualy took the time to look past the sh*tty writing and see who he was trying to portray....only on page 15 of chapter 699 have all that thrown at that away, he put her in a situation where I can no longer argue against anyone bashing her charactor because that one situation threw everything out of the window, the bashers were proven right, she was shown to be shallow girl who only cared about herself and disguarded others for her own needs just as they claimed she was. She did it with Ino, best friend who helped her gain confidence but soon as she became competition she was thrown aside, but I still supported her, she was still a kid, who thought she was in love, but she grew out of it. But now it turns out she did exactly the same to Naruto soon as he's back she's up Sasuke's arse, Naruto wasn't there for the goodbye and she didn't care or even look like she noticed, she just wanted to be close to her Sasuke-Kun, follow him where ever he went, screw the best friend who lost a arm for his promise to her.
I know I sound like I'm bashing Sakura, but I'm not, I'm bashing Kishi, he's the one that did this, he's the one who did this to her, he's the one that threw away all her development, he's the one who made it impossible to argue her case...and I hate that, I hate that Kishi proved the bashers correct, even if I won't believe it, I can't argue with the content of the manga.
I can get past NaruHina, because at the end of the day Hinata's shown she loves Naruto and Naruto has shown enough emotion to atleast show that he cares allot for her, Love her no, but he cares for her, Kishi has done enough to atleast shown us that. We know he didn't love her he basically told us that he's still in love with Sakura, we know that for the next two years he never even approached her for a date even after knowing how she feels about him.
I also can't get past how Kishi disreguarded Naruto's feelings, he never sought to clear things up between Naruto and Sakura, never gave him the chance to confess, he even had them flirting infront of him, he never let Naruto actually get any resolution so he could move on....Kishi's told us multiple time how much Naruto loves, he doesn't love someone like a normal person he loved them with his entire being, that's why his capability to forgive is so big, So you only imagine how much he love Sakura who sat on top of the pile of everyone he loved. How are we meant to believe someone like Naruto just got over all that, when he had someone like Sakura who's capability to love dwarfs in comparison never give up on a simple crush, yet Naruto who loved so deeply that even the Nine Tailed beasts changed their views, we are meant to believe he just got over it?
