We all get to choose who we love, not who we deserve and don't deserve.
And they seem close enough now, so...

I agree with this. It's not about who you do or do not "deserve". The only thing that is important is who you do or do not love.

Apart from that... Whatever their relationship will turn out to be, as long as they are fine with it and it works for them it's fine.
The potential of it is undisputed I'd say...
The only real problem I have with the topoc of "deserving each other" is that you could twist as you want.
Sakura didn't bother to recognize Naruto in the beginning and thus doesn't deserve him...
Hinata did so, but didn't step up and become a friend he so desperately needed...
Naruto was a brat and an attention whore and didn't deserve anyone...
Sasuke chose to not care about anyone and cut his bonds because of revenge and therefore doesn't deserve anyone...
That way of thinking doesn't take things like forgiveness and understanding into account which are important topics in Naruto in my opinion...
We all need to cut the characters some slack, because even if they are ninja and soldiers they still are teenagers...

With Jiraiya's death, Naruto will need comforting once he hears the news..

However, if you're talking about second season, I'll say she deserve him to some extend. At the very least she is WILLING to help him reach his goal (I'm talking about getting Sasuke back, not the Hokage) AND acknowledge Naruto's growth. That in itself shows a huge improvement from her attitude 2 years ago where she barely show any recognition about Naruto. it also show that she has grown up passed the childhood stage into a mature young woman. Like it or not, shes not the same girl as when she was a genin and what she did as a genin does NOT mean that she will always act like that.
Love is not about admiring the strength or perfection of the person but to fully accept their shortcoming and weakness. - Me

No, you made perfect sense. I think the entire "Sakura deserves Naruto" debate is absurd. Not only because it's pointless (Naruto loves Sakura, so obviously he can't care less if she "deserves" him or not), but because Sakura mustn't fill any set of requirements so she is considered worthy of the glorious privilege of dating Naruto (man, how sexist it sounds?).
The argument doesn't become less dumb if we split Sakura in Sakura Part One and Sakura Part Two, how if they were two different characters.
Besides, and it's another topic, but I'm pretty tired of seeing Sakura vilified and called "b*tch" because she was an immature twelve-old years girl (a teen being immature? We can't have that, can we?) who liked Sasuke (like nearly all girls around her age in Konohagakure) and treated Naruto like all kids did (and we don't see Ino, Kiba or Shikamaru getting that lousy treatment).
Please, before going on berating the character, let's examine what she knew about Naruto when the manga started: her parents had told she was to stay away that boy because he was trouble; he was an idiot who loved playing pranks; he had no parents punished him when he made something bad; and he was always ridiculing her before Sasuke and the remainder girls.
Let's remember now she was an immature teenager and she had been bullied. Is it so difficult assuming that boy was always bothering her -and was an idiot and problematic prankster who could get away with anything because nobody would scold him- flirted with her because he loved ridiculing her in front of the people she wanted making a good impression on? And he did so because he liked seeing her suffering?
Yes, she was completely wrong, but she couldn't know that since she didn't mix with him. During the Promise of A Lifetime scene she told he always knew about and her and she trusted him completely. Why? Because AFTER having mixed with him, she knew better.
Do you want to take over the world, huh? Well, you'll have to go through us first!

She wasn't that bad man... She was smitten with the Uchiha, true, but she didn't totally disregard Naruto. She believed Sasuke to be the strongest of the two, but she cared for both (remember them going postal on the hospital... or after fighting Orochimaru? Who cared for the two of them?).
Yes, it's not as if she fought an S-class enemy shinobi with the good of Naruto on her mind, or as if she tried to calm down a demonic Naruto at the cost of her own safety.
Sakura was probably the first one to truely acknowledge Naruto as a strong teammate and shinobi, which based on who we're talking about (the former President of the I-Lurv-Sasuke-FC) said alot about her. She trusted Naruto with the retrieval of their rogue teammate, and when he failed... she didn't go all Ms b*tch like in fanfics where she slapped him and stuff.. she felt horrible for being useless to Naruto and indirectly causing him to get hurt, and she spent the next three years training so she could be of help to him when they got Sasuke back... together! I find her determination admirable, and I don't think she did that just to get Sasuke back, but so Naruto wouldn't have to do it alone. She trusts Naruto with her life, and Naruto knows this.
I'm Vyse Sakura!! *kills you a little bit*
No no, you're entitled to your own thoughts and opinions.
But the answer to your question is a "Yes! I do believe Sakura deserves Naruto!".
I think that about sums it up. I agree a lot with what Jenskott said, as well. Although to be honest, Sakura's alwas been my favorite. My first episode that I watched (not that I SAW) was "Bushy Brows Pledge" dub version, followed by "Sakura Blossoms", so...
The more I wish for your happiness, the more selfish I become

I agree with Isu-chan. As long as Naruto and Sakura both care for each other and are having fun in each others presence, I think it makes all the difference. And who knows? Maybe some romantic feelings may develop from both sides because of that. I don't think "deserve" really plays in their relationship, since they have both shown to care for one another immensely. And they'll continue doing that, from the looks of it.

Well said (for you and Izzy). And I didn't actually need to type anything. XD
And can some mod come and move this to this Icha Icha narusaku forum?

I hope this history will finish with NaruSaku and not with NaruHina or SasuSaku.
But for example I saw like the episode 45 in NShippuden, Sakura thinks one moment in Sasuke
and sometimes I think she will stay with Sasuke more than Naruto.
But for now they have 15 years old and maybe when Naruto will grow and has the age for to be in Hokage, he will mature like his father Yondaime and he want have children and I think Sakura is the best choice with him, more than Hinata.
Because Hinata is a secondary or tertiary character in this history and I think Kishimoto doesn´t appreciated much this character.

No matter what Sakura does to Naruto, she'll always be his Sakura-chan, and I highly doubt ANYTHING will change that No matter what happens, I do believe that Sakura will always have a special place in his heart. As far as they've come, it's a plain fact that they are incredibly dedicated to each other. It doesn't matter what other people say about how "mean" she is to him or whatever, but that they're just there for each other

First shes changed so much through out the series. But even more compelling shes tried the hardest to change.
Second she does appreciate Narutos help more then she can even possibly tell him. And this is what drives her. Shes IMHO confused about Sasuke and her feelings for Naruto.
and the kick of it is.
Its all Narutos fault.
Yep thats right you heard it here. Its all Narutos fault shes so confused. And needs to confront Sasuke before she can move on and love Naruto fully.
Why is it his fault. Well let me give you this. In all the fan fics and debates for naruto. I hear about how sakura allways loved sasuke. But I rarely here about the root cause of these feelings and Why she would chase such an obvious crush for so long especially after his betrayal.
Well Ill tell you why she does. BEcause the day team 7 was formed. A certain blonde knucklehead henged into his rival to ask the girl of his dreams what she thought about him. in order disguised as his rival and her crush. our orange clad imposter. First made on of her fantasies come true.
and it is this moment right their where In a true case of irony he cements the image in Sakuras mind of a gentle loving Sasuke that acknowledges her. Because of this she is unabel to get past this image. even when all he does is berate her. shes stuck in the moment because A) shes still immature, and B) shes seen the "beautiful charming" side that she falls in lvoe with.
So in conclusion Naruto however unintentionally is the direct cause of Sakuras confusion.
And this confusion means she is going to have to confront Sasuke one last time. To ask him about why he was so charming and complimented hr forehead and acknowledged her. To which he'll reply in the negative and let her know that It was Naruto all along.
remember this scene
I think in this scene she tells him in not so many words. That shes fallen in love with him. For all that hes done for her from beginning to end. But she has to make him wait for 2 reasons.
1) her need to grow stronger, so shes no longer a burden to him, so she can stand at his side instead of allways behind his back as shes done in part 1.
2) because she has to confront Sasuke one last time. Just one more time. to see what hsi true feelings are. to see if the Sasuke she fell in love with is still in their.
The sasuke image that Naruto put their when he complimented her forehead and acknowledged her.
In many ways Sakuras still got some growth to do. She hasnt thanked him for saving her form Garaa, yet. I think this wel coem in part 2 eventually ((unless Kishimoto forgot that little detail)) but she is growing and thats the important part. And mroe importantly shes doing it for and because of her precious person. Shes changing BEcause she wants to. She wants to be better. And she wants to more importantly.
She wants to stand by Narutos side. this time shell be the one to save him and Sasuke. this time theyll be watching her back.
oh and as a side not regarding how mean she is to him by hitting him and such.
Does anyone trully believe the Ninja that defeated Gaara of the Desert couldnt dodge a punch if he wanted too? And can anyone trully say that he doesnt bring "the majority" of it on himself by being completely clueless and sometimes insensitive.
trust me she does it because he needs it. he'll grow up eventually but it'll be because 1) time matures everyone one way or another. and 2) because Sakura clobbered it into him.

i agree, but also i think kishi intends to use it for comic relief as well.

Part 2 Sakura IMO would gladly die for Naruto if need be, just like he would do the same for her and that just makes it all up for me because she is there for him now. To me it feels like Naruto embraces change and Sakura represents it. (don't know if that made sense at all or not )

No actually that makes perfect sence. Its really what makes Sakura one of the best characters in the Series. Because shes the one that has changed the most of all of them. Even more then Naruto she has changed. But the key is she has changed for herself, and She has changed for him.
