Oh that's nice. People can talk and blame Naruto about not having guts for not confessing and moving on, but it is completely not okay to blame Sakura.
I damn well know kishi was at fault, but if someone says Naruto is at fault for not confessing, then I think definitely Sakura should be blamed very much for the reason Naruto didn't confess.
NS not happening the blame goes
1. KISHI (anything happening or not happening, he is to be blamed)
2. Sakura (according to the story she is the one who couldn't stop loving Sasuke, did a fake confession to Naruto)
3. No one else.
Even kishi said in his interview about that Sakura still loving Sasuke because her loving Naruto would make her a terrible woman( seriously what nonsense kishimoto), but this sentence justifies that Naruto only moved on after he was convinced that their is no chance for him now to gain Sakura's love.
This sentence clearly tells us that SS happening lead to NH happening, thus Naruto moved on only after he was sure that he i
s just a third wheel between them nowin kittening way can make that stupid girl love him.
Neither Naruto or Sakura are to blame. Kishi is to blame, because he bent them both up by making Sakura go against the development she got in terms of her feelings and her personality, and making Naruto go against his very own ideals and dreams.
Kishi decided he could just flip a switch and make Naruto stop loving Sakura, and make Sakura turn right back into Part 1 Sakura. The Sakura we all know would never blush and ask to go with Sasuke because
- it was shown she didn't trust him
- it was shown she felt negatively towards him, whether or not it's love
- she would never turn her back on Naruto again and become selfish and completely disregard all her teammates and their safety and their trust
- it was shown that in terms of Naruto she is very selfless
- it was shown that while her feelings for Sasuke faltered, her feelings for Naruto grew more positively and stronger
Kishi completely bent Sakura up. And due to that, Naruto had to step back. Thus making him turn toward Hinata.
The demolishing of Sakura's character, and out of characterness of Sasuke's character, and the giving up on the girl of his dreams in Naruto's character was all done purely for NaruHina to happen. Kishi wouldn't have made a whole movie based on their love, if he didn't ship them. He developed it completely wrong, but it doesn't matter to him.
Nothing makes sense, but he decided to slyly get away with it by ruining a lot of things that were established.
NaruHina probably seemed like the most deemable pairing, where he could add kids sprouting out everywhere without spending time actually resolving things in the manga that were unresolved. It was rushed and done very poorly.
Putting down Sakura's character = NaruHina love forever and ever lulz
I am not a troll, and you just like many other people are just too much in love with Sakura to see her being wrong and start blaming Naruto for NS not happening, whereas how Naruto was their for Sakura, it is Sakura who was in turn the gutless, a**hole who chose her abuser over the person who loved her so selflessly.
No unbiased Naruto fan(the series) will in his right mind think that Naruto deserves blame for NS not becoming Canon. It is just SUPER DOOPER SAKURA LOVERS blind to her stupidity like many people here that think Sakura deserved a confession from Naruto after what she said to Sasuke in 693 and 699 and NAruto is at fault for not confessing.
Sakura did have development. Kishi wouldn't have hinted at it so much if she didn't have any. True, in the end she picked Sasuke. But in the end, nothing in the manga that lead up to that makes sense for Sakura to continue loving Sasuke. It was done randomly, and seemed like it was purely to make NaruHina stand out more.
