How does that it make better ? it makes no sense, a pairing is judged on its interactions not on what role it plays in the romantic subplot.
 
With Karin it only happened one time all the other times he was decent with her while with Sakura he constantly treated her like crap, and it all happened at the same time (the murder attempts plus the insults), with SS the murder attempts and the emotional abuse can be separated. ( look below for few examples).


I agree with you on some parts and disagree with you on some.
Your answer inst directed to me but i want to pinpoint this.
Sasuke didnt treated Sakura like a crap all the times, he only did that in one moment after the Orochimaru's meeting and later way ahead after he got jealous and butthurt about Naruto's powerup to a point that he accepted that he only wanted revenge and doesnt care about Sakura.
But Sakura however wasnt an angel because she also did mistakes and Naruto too did mistakes like he was going to kiss Sakura without respecting her feelings on chapter 3.
 

Sakura's affections has been shown as sincere ? most of part 1 was her fangirling about him and the only times it was serious was when she was crying or depressed about him because he either insulted or degraded her, here are some gems : "you're annoying" (can't count the number of times he told her that), "you're worse than Naruto", "mind your own business" (when all she wanted was to help him) and these are just from the top of my head. Even the author said that her feelings for him were selfish.

It was sincere despite being childish the problem with Sakura's feelings is that they have no back up to sustain it, it's forced and ridiculous.
About Sasuke.
I suggest you to read other mangas with male characters that act like Sasuke like the Sacred Blacksmith or even on an anime "Haiyore Nyaruko-san".
They are not quite similar to Sasuke but they are cold and does the very same things like Sasuke does, but it doesnt show that he loves Sakura or whatever but it's not to be interpreted as a bad moment or an insult from him, the "you're annoying" on her confession sounded more like a tease than an insult.
The downside for me that is determinant on SS pairing is that Sasuke never supported Sakura.
 The rest i agree.

I know you never said you like the pairing, I didn't mean to imply that. :sweatdrop:

 

First  and second bolded: I know Sasuke's attempt to kill Karin was portrayed as a 'sacrifice' and used to highlight his descent into darkness, I can acknowledge that, but he still meant to kill her, period. The intent was still there regardless of the circumstances, and the context of killing Karin versus killing Sakura makes little difference to me. And I don't mean to nitpick, but saying "killing Sakura was out of pure pleasure and had no meaning to him," is a contradictory statement. Either he took pleasure in it or it meant nothing to him. I personally lean toward the latter, Sasuke's whole attitude in regards to Sakura during their encounter was pretty indifferent.

 

Third bolded: No, that is an opinion. I don't find the majority of their interaction as particularly standout. Like I said before, Sasuke tolerates her, but little more than that, and I don't see much by way of dynamic or chemistry.

 

Fourth bolded: In the Forest of Death, Sasuke became angry when he woke up and found that Sakura had been hurt and he also tried to protect her from Gaara before Naruto showed up, and (I believe if I remember correctly) told Naruto to save her, so it's not like Sasuke protecting a teammate is exclusive to Karin.

 

Whether Karin is 'crazy' or mentally disturbed doesn't make her behavior less offensive. It makes her look like a joke, and leaves much to be desired in the development of SK as a pairing.

I will address only the bolded part cus i don't wan't to drag this SK vs SS issue any more .

 

In the FoD Sasuke didn't became angry cus Sakura was hurt he was overwhelmed by the power that the CS gave it to him he took pleasure in it and Sakura getting hurt was just an excuse to him to test that power just look at his face it tells you everything , he didn't even try to help her to make sure that everything is ok with her he immediately went to torture those guys , again his expression tells you everything.

 

No he didn't it was Sakura who stand before him to protect him from Gaara , Sasuke never did such a thing , and again the difference about Karin and Sakura is in his expression and emotions he showed to save them , he feel the need to awaken a MS power for Karin for Sakura nothing not even a tomoe , with Karin it was her individually wile with Sakura it was also about Naruto it was about the both of them . There is a very much big difference in those scenes . I think it would be better now if i just stop here with this issue however you want to look their relationship it's all up to you and it's fine by me .

Is me posting anti SK allowed or not, mod? Nobody with authority has told me to stop.
 

I was speaking from a storywise standpoint, clearly. If we're speaking of interactions then SK has no chance, because last time Sasuke interacted with Karin, he was clearly freaked out by her romantic advances.
 

Sasuke is not the a**hole you portray him to be. Of course he treated Karin well as he has treated Sakura well in part 1, as he has treated Kakashi or Naruto or Suigetsu or Jugo. You make him sound like a fiend, but he was once an okay kid.
 

Sasuke's excuse to kill Naruto is to use him as a means to an end. Sasuke's excuse to kill Sakura is because she was there to kill him as well. Sasuke's excuse to kill Karin is... oh, an unnecessary cheapshot.
 

We agree on something then.
 

Whether your opinion on the matter, Sakura's feelings being sincere was what Kishimoto said in his interviews.
 

Insulting and degrading is taking it too far. Sasuke has never done either of those things.

Sasuke calling Sakura annoying or saying she's weaker than Naruto is the truth. She was a spoiled brat who need to step it up, which is the whole point of her character development. Good for him to call her out and to have a hand on it. How is this bad when it helped her improve?

Sasuke told her to not meddle into his business? What is the problem? Do you think Naruto was wrong to tell Sakura not to meddle into the rivalry between Sasuke and him after the Hospital scuffle?
 

I don't see any difference between Sakura and Karin on this matter. I give the edge to SS because Sasuke came to accept Sakura as an individual while Sasuke has only regarded Karin as a tool, plus Sakura's feelings were sincere and she hasn't fawned over him since part 2 began while Karin is doing it even after he tried to murder her.

Sakura couldn't kill Sasuke because of TRUE LUB, but so what of it? How is not being able to kill someone evil any worse than wanting to lick someone evil all over?
 

If that's the case, then Sasuke helping Sakura in chapter 632 erases all his wrong doings. Oh.
 

I don't ignore it. However, I remember Sasuke was ready to sacrifice his life for Sakura once because she was important to him, while he saved Karin once while never stating his reasons why (not even to himself). Like I said, canon admitted Sakura was important to Sasuke once, it has not admitted Karin was important to Sasuke besides being an aid for revenge.
 

The bond Sasuke has with Taka is / was very flimsy.
 

Sasuke thinking of Sakura with team 7, so what of it? He hasn't thought of Naruto alone either and he thought of Kakashi when he was doing his CS jutsu. How is this relevant to gauge his bond with them?

By the way, because I can and this is what I really want to bring home: Sasuke has never thought of Karin alone either. He only thought of her once because Kabuto mentioned her and he remembered the rest of Team Taka too!

If this is a case of thinking of people at all, then Karin loses by default aaha.
 

Yamato's words are that Sasuke is dangerous, not that he's going to kill her. In fact, Sasuke's move is one to disable (and contrarily to what you said, what I said are Yamato's words).

http://www.mangapand...hapter-308.html
 

Sasuke was going to leave Karin to roast as well. What is your point.
 

It's really irrelevant if Sasuke's bond with Sakura is the weakest or the strongest. My point is that the bond Sasuke has with Karin is way worse.
 

Oh, you re-read your post then? Srly, is this pettiness necessary?

"I was speaking from a storywise standpoint, clearly. If we're speaking of interactions then SK has no chance, because last time Sasuke interacted with Karin, he was clearly freaked out by her romantic advances."
 Let's hope you're right on this matter but I think you're wrong and SK has a real shot, either way I despise SK so I would be more than happy if it doesn't happen but that's not the point of the discussion you said SK was worse and that's the point I disagree with whether one or the other happens it would be just as bad.

 

"Sasuke is not the a**hole you portray him to be. Of course he treated Karin well as he has treated Sakura well in part 1, as he has treated Kakashi or Naruto or Suigetsu or Jugo. You make him sound like a fiend, but he was once an okay kid."
 He didn't treat Sakura that well, please remind me of Sasuke's kindness and I will show you all the time he was spiteful towards which are  : I can remember the compliment about the genjutsu and the forrest hug that's all, most of the time he eithert insulted or ignored her.

 

"Sasuke's excuse to kill Naruto is to use him as a means to an end. Sasuke's excuse to kill Sakura is because she was there to kill him as well. Sasuke's excuse to kill Karin is... oh, an unnecessary cheapshot."
 There's no proof that he knew that she was trying to kill him the first time and even if that's the case he could easily stop her without killing her but since he couldn't care less he simply went for the kill. That's what you call better than SK.

He tried to kill Karin because she was on his way to Danzo and after that because she had intel about him. You're trying to paint one as better as the other when it's not.

 

"We agree on something then."

Good

 

"Whether your opinion on the matter, Sakura's feelings being sincere was what Kishimoto said in his interviews."

Kishi also said her feelings were selfish and whether you agree with it Karin's feelings for him are sincere.

 

"Insulting and degrading is taking it too far. Sasuke has never done either of those things.

Sasuke calling Sakura annoying or saying she's weaker than Naruto is the truth. She was a spoiled brat who need to step it up, which is the whole point of her character development. Good for him to call her out and to have a hand on it. How is this bad when it helped her improve?"

Yes he did. When he called her out as you say he didn't do it to teach her a lesson he did because she was really annoying the hell out of him and because he had little to no respect to her.

 

"Sasuke told her to not meddle into his business? What is the problem? Do you think Naruto was wrong to tell Sakura not to meddle into the rivalry between Sasuke and him after the Hospital scuffle?"

He could have said it more nicely, I don't know like Naruto told to Sakura to not meddle into their business.

 

"I don't see any difference between Sakura and Karin on this matter. I give the edge to SS because Sasuke came to accept Sakura as an individual while Sasuke has only regarded Karin as a tool, plus Sakura's feelings were sincere and she hasn't fawned over him since part 2 began while Karin is doing it even after he tried to murder her."

Wooaa Sasuke part 1 accepted as an individual, what a great achievement but we are in part 2 and he doesn't consider her anything since the end of part 1, even if he considers Karin a tool that's already more than what he considers Sakura at this point which says a lot about how much better SS is than SK.

How could she fawn over him when she has not seen him or interacted with him and the few times she did he tried to kill her ? She still defended him against Sai when he told her he was a criminal after the dude tried to kill her best friend and went to Oro the man who killed the third hokage. Only after the Kage summit arc did she start really questionning him ?

Sakura's feelings may be sincere but they are just as pathetic as Karin's feelings (and I would add Naruto into the mix), the few moments when he was decent doesn't justify such devotion it's completely stupid and unrealistic.

 

"Sakura couldn't kill Sasuke because of TRUE LUB, but so what of it? How is not being able to kill someone evil any worse than wanting to lick someone evil all over?"

I don't know, maybe because this someone wants to destroy your village kill your family and all your friends.

 

"f that's the case, then Sasuke helping Sakura in chapter 632 erases all his wrong doings. Oh."

Either you didn't understand what I said or I didn't make myself clear : how can an act of decency erases all Sasuke's wrongdoings towards her.

 

"I don't ignore it. However, I remember Sasuke was ready to sacrifice his life for Sakura once because she was important to him, while he saved Karin once while never stating his reasons why (not even to himself). Like I said, canon admitted Sakura was important to Sasuke once, it has not admitted Karin was important to Sasuke besides being an aid for revenge."

And he was ready to save Karin even tough he could have left her there, he also saved her during the forrest of death. And still using part 1 as your reference, when the little things Sasuke has done for Karin in part 2 is much more than what he did for Sakura in part 2, again it just shows how SS is pathetic.

 

"The bond Sasuke has with Taka is / was very flimsy."

Well like his bond with team 7, the only exception being Naruto.

 

"Sasuke thinking of Sakura with team 7, so what of it? He hasn't thought of Naruto alone either and he thought of Kakashi when he was doing his CS jutsu. How is this relevant to gauge his bond with them?"

The only reason he wants to kill Naruto is because he's the only one he couldn't cut his bond with. He tought about Naruto after getting Itachi's eyes and fighting the zetsus. Naruto is a visual medium and it has been clearly shown many times the only one who can get an emotional response from Sasuke is Naruto, for Sakura it's total indifference and apathy,  I don't remember the Kakashi part care to remind me. Show me just one panel where Sasuke's feelings with Sakura is highlighted in part 2, just one. Part 1 is over and done and things have changed in case you missed it.

 

"By the way, because I can and this is what I really want to bring home: Sasuke has never thought of Karin alone either. He only thought of her once because Kabuto mentioned her and he remembered the rest of Team Taka too!"
What does it change ? didn't I make myself clear that I despise SK.

 

"If this is a case of thinking of people at all, then Karin loses by default aaha."

I would say they are equal, he doesn't care about either Sakura or Karin or are you going to talk to me about part 1.

 

"Yamato's words are that Sasuke is dangerous, not that he's going to kill her. In fact, Sasuke's move is one to disable (and contrarily to what you said, what I said are Yamato's words).
http://www.mangapand...hapter-308.html
http://www.mangapand...hapter-308.html"
 
Might be possible, I have the french translated version and it says "kill" so I would need a confirmation on that, but he still could stop her without harming her but he didn't because he doesn't care about her.

 

"Sasuke was going to leave Karin to roast as well. What is your point."

That SS is in no way shape or form better than SK.

 

"It's really irrelevant if Sasuke's bond with Sakura is the weakest or the strongest. My point is that the bond Sasuke has with Karin is way worse."

I disagree his bond with Sakura is the worst.

 

"Oh, you re-read your post then? Srly, is this pettiness necessary?"

I stand by what I said I don't how SS can be deemed better than SK. Yes this pettiness is neccesary because you can't say SS is better as a matter of facts when it's nothing more than personal preferences, if you think SS is better fair enough but if you think it's a fact that's where you and I disagree.

 

I agree with you on some parts and disagree with you on some.
Your answer inst directed to me but i want to pinpoint this.
Sasuke didnt treated Sakura like a crap all the times, he only did that in one moment after the Orochimaru's meeting and later way ahead after he got jealous and butthurt about Naruto's powerup to a point that he accepted that he only wanted revenge and doesnt care about Sakura.
But Sakura however wasnt an angel because she also did mistakes and Naruto too did mistakes like he was going to kiss Sakura without respecting her feelings on chapter 3.
 
It was sincere despite being childish the problem with Sakura's feelings is that they have no back up to sustain it, it's forced and ridiculous.
About Sasuke.
I suggest you to read other mangas with male characters that act like Sasuke like the Sacred Blacksmith or even on an anime "Haiyore Nyaruko-san".
They are not quite similar to Sasuke but they are cold and does the very same things like Sasuke does, but it doesnt show that he loves Sakura or whatever but it's not to be interpreted as a bad moment or an insult from him, the "you're annoying" on her confession sounded more like a tease than an insult.
The downside for me that is determinant on SS pairing is that Sasuke never supported Sakura.
 The rest i agree.

It was still a terrible bond and nothing that great I think we can agree on that. Most of the time he was apathetic to her.

 

Whether It's sincere or not it's completely stupid and forced I don't see what explains Sakura's feelings for Sasuke at this point and the ONLY reason we have been given is because he was cool and hot. Her feelings for him and her bond with him are terrible writing and they aren't better than Karin's feelings for Sasuke that's the only I'm arguing against.

I'm truly not arguing in favor of SS over SK or anything, just so there's no misunderstanding. I don't like either pairing in the least, and whether Sasuke ends up with anyone at all matters very little to me, so long as it's not Sakura. However, I do disagree that Sasuke was simply looking to test his new power in the forest of death. It doesn't mean his actions were romantic in any shape or form - I don't think that - but he was protecting Sakura as a teammate, in his own way. As for the bolded, I may have just remembered wrong, since I didn't go back and look at the chapter.

 

I agree that it's probably best to stop here, some of the comments towards SK are descending too close to bashing for my liking, and I don't want to be contributing to that. I hope nothing I've said has come across as offensive to the SK shippers, especially with the anti comments making it a sensitive subject. I have nothing against those who like the pairing. And I hope I haven't frustrated you, because that wasn't my intention and I had no idea this SK versus anti-SK would get so heated.

Let's hope you're right on this matter but I think you're wrong and SK has a real shot, either way I despise SK so I would be more than happy if it doesn't happen but that's not the point of the discussion you said SK was worse and that's the point I disagree with whether one or the other happens it would be just as bad.


If I'm wrong, I am but I doubt it. Oh you despise SK. *hi5*

But SK really is worse. It has worse construction, it has worse depth. It's really just the story of a girl who doesn't mind being used as a tool as long as there's the diminute chance of licking a boy's balls.
 

He didn't treat Sakura that well, please remind me of Sasuke's kindness and I will show you all the time he was spiteful towards which are  : I can remember the compliment about the genjutsu and the forrest hug that's all, most of the time he eithert insulted or ignored her.


Sasuke had his well and not so well days. He waited for her to wake up in the bell test, complimented her genjutsu prowess, he broke another guy's arms for her sake, he was prepared to die for her sake as well, he thanked her for everything she did for him.

[And his treatment of Karin is way worse. His face at her physical closeness says it all, then there's that time where he asks about the jins and she begins to explain, but Sasuke cuts her off and asks Obito to explain, there's that time at the summit where she gives him some plan and he tells her to STFU, or when she gives him advice when he's fighting danzo and he either ignores her or cuts her off again... called her a burden too.
 

There's no proof that he knew that she was trying to kill him the first time and even if that's the case he could easily stop her without killing her but since he couldn't care less he simply went for the kill. That's what you call better than SK.

He tried to kill Karin because she was on his way to Danzo and after that because she had intel about him. You're trying to paint one as better as the other when it's not.


Kakashi told Sakura 'you were trying to kill Sasuke' and he's not surprised. He knew, Sakura doesn't have the best poker face at all. Even if Sasuke could care less for Sakura, it's better than ignoring Karin's request for help (because she did ask him for help) when she was caught by Danzo, then laughed while he stabbed her and topped it all by calling her a burden.
 
That is no excuse. Sasuke fought Kakashi after that. Kishimoto did it to establish Karin was as disposable as Suigetsu and Jugo at the summit. She even asks herself if all she was to him was a tool and he answers that out loud (more like Kishi) with a confirmation when he says she's of no use to him if she can be caught.
 

Kishi also said her feelings were selfish and whether you agree with it Karin's feelings for him are sincere.


Yeah but her feelings being selfish doesn't mean they are insincere. I don't see how that somehow invalidates what i said. While Karin is sincere in wanting to lick him all over, what is this supposed to make me say about her feelings? They're not meaningful.
 

Yes he did. When he called her out as you say he didn't do it to teach her a lesson he did because she was really annoying the hell out of him and because he had little to no respect to her. He could have said it more nicely, I don't know like Naruto told to Sakura to not meddle into their business.


It's exaggeration in my opinion. Also, when I said that Sasuke called her out I didn't mean he was investing on her future, I just said he called her out on it rightfully because she was being a brat. About saying it more nicely and just to put things into perspective, Sasuke has called Naruto a moron, an idiot, a retard, a loser, and yes all of these have been done not in a playful manner.

Not ling Naruto telling Sakura not to meddle into their business eh... I'm personally on the fence.
 

Wooaa Sasuke part 1 accepted as an individual, what a great achievement


It's better than Karin ever got, and let's not forget this is my point here.
 

but we are in part 2 and he doesn't consider her anything since the end of part 1, even if he considers Karin a tool that's already more than what he considers Sakura at this point which says a lot about how much better SS is than SK.


That's unfair. Sasuke thought of Sakura a few times and he hasn't once thought of Karin without someone reminding him of her.

I even doubt that Sasuke considers Karin that much. It was Orochimaru who convinced her to go with them, Sasuke apologised but he didn't give a kitten whether she went or not.
 

How could she fawn over him when she has not seen him or interacted with him and the few times she did he tried to kill her ? She still defended him against Sai when he told her he was a criminal after the dude tried to kill her best friend and went to Oro the man who killed the third hokage. Only after the Kage summit arc did she start really questionning him ?
Sakura's feelings may be sincere but they are just as pathetic as Karin's feelings (and I would add Naruto into the mix), the few moments when he was decent doesn't justify such devotion it's completely stupid and unrealistic.

I don't know, maybe because this someone wants to destroy your village kill your family and all your friends.


I understand your frustration over this, but let's not go there. Kishimoto thinks Sakura and Naruto's wish to save Sasuke is heroic. He made Naruto, the hero, get beaten up for his sake even after he attempted to murder him. While I agree with you that it's unrealistic, I can't say Sakura or Naruto is pathetic. By the story's standards, this is the heroic behaviour.

Sakura thought Sasuke was bad before Kage Summit, that's why she went there in the first place, to kill him so he wouldn't sink further. I don't get why you think she only thought of this later?
 

Either you didn't understand what I said or I didn't make myself clear : how can an act of decency erases all Sasuke's wrongdoings towards her.


Ah, that I agree! However, here we go again, what he did to Karin was way worse and just an apology played for laughs won't do either.
 

And he was ready to save Karin even tough he could have left her there, he also saved her during the forrest of death. And still using part 1 as your reference, when the little things Sasuke has done for Karin in part 2 is much more than what he did for Sakura in part 2, again it just shows how SS is pathetic.


What? Sasuke has saved Sakura in 632 and that is part 2.
 

Well like his bond with team 7, the only exception being Naruto.


I really don't care about Team 7 as long as we agree that SasuKarin is just that bad. I'd prefer if we agreed that it was even worse.
 

The only reason he wants to kill Naruto is because he's the only one he couldn't cut his bond with. He tought about Naruto after getting Itachi's eyes and fighting the zetsus. Naruto is a visual medium and it has been clearly shown many times the only one who can get an emotional response from Sasuke is Naruto, for Sakura it's total indifference and apathy,  I don't remember the Kakashi part care to remind me. Show me just one panel where Sasuke's feelings with Sakura is highlighted in part 2, just one. Part 1 is over and done and things have changed in case you missed it.


Actually, Sasuke only gave a kitten about Naruto because he kept throwing himself on his way and made outrageous claims about being his friend.

Yes, the Zetsu fight flashback, but eventually there's the whole team 7 there and Sasuke thinking of purifying the uchiha means cutting the bond with you (as in the three of them).
http://www.mangapand...m/naruto/574/14
There is no excuse that this is just a recycled panel, because this was redrawn. I remember having this conversation with a sasnar fan, she was very salty about it. I wonder what she's feeling right now... probably opened her own salt refinery and making a huge profit out of it.

Can we please drop the snippy? I don't think you'll like if I start doing the same.
 

What does it change ? didn't I make myself clear that I despise SK.


My point is that SK is worse than SS. You can despise two things but despise one more. That is my case with SK.
 

I would say they are equal, he doesn't care about either Sakura or Karin or are you going to talk to me about part 1.


What I said was in response to what you said. I'll remind you, you said Sasuke has never thought of Sakura and that's not true. However, Sasuke has never thought of Karin at all besides when Kabuto reminded and that doesn't coutn.
 

Might be possible, I have the french translated version and it says "kill" so I would need a confirmation on that, but he still could stop her without harming her but he didn't because he doesn't care about her.


Is that so, that's sad. I have the english version, it says no such thing. You can check on mangahelpers (I just did), every single one of them says 'dangerous' (though there's one which says serious).
 

That SS is in no way shape or form better than SK.

I disagree his bond with Sakura is the worst.

I stand by what I said I don't how SS can be deemed better than SK.


Neither is SK in any way shape or form better than SS.

Well I disagree, his bond with Team not 7 is the wort!
 
And I stand by mine. :)
 

Yes this pettiness is neccesary because you can't say SS is better as a matter of facts when it's nothing more than personal preferences, if you think SS is better fair enough but if you think it's a fact that's where you and I disagree.


Be rude if you like then.
 

It was still a terrible bond and nothing that great I think we can agree on that. Most of the time he was apathetic to her.


I never said it was a great bond! All I've ever said was that SK was worse than SS!
 

Whether It's sincere or not it's completely stupid and forced I don't see what explains Sakura's feelings for Sasuke at this point and the ONLY reason we have been given is because he was cool and hot. Her feelings for him and her bond with him are terrible writing and they aren't better than Karin's feelings for Sasuke that's the only I'm arguing against.


So are Naruto's and even worse, Karin's.

Is me posting anti SK allowed or not, mod? Nobody with authority has told me to stop.
 

I was speaking from a storywise standpoint, clearly. If we're speaking of interactions then SK has no chance, because last time Sasuke interacted with Karin, he was clearly freaked out by her romantic advances.
 

You are missing the whole point of that scene tell we when have you seen Sasuke freaked out about a women being close to him or hugging him do tell , with Sakura and Ino he was indifferent about them but Karin makes him do this OOC face is bad ? It's the same face Naruto does when he's scared of Sakura are you gonna tell me that that is bad for them ?

 

Sasuke is not the a**hole you portray him to be. Of course he treated Karin well as he has treated Sakura well in part 1, as he has treated Kakashi or Naruto or Suigetsu or Jugo. You make him sound like a fiend, but he was once an okay kid.

Wut ? He has never ever treated Karin like he treated Sakura please tell me when he has called Karin annoying  or defended Sakura   against somebody even if she was the one to start the argument and was responsible for it please tell me how is this no different or this thing just don't matter ? And he was a total a**hole to Sakura this is the truth deal with it .  

 

Sasuke's excuse to kill Naruto is to use him as a means to an end. Sasuke's excuse to kill Sakura is because she was there to kill him as well. Sasuke's excuse to kill Karin is... oh, an unnecessary cheapshot.

Except he didn't know that Sakura was planing that didn't he , but instead he was setting up Sakura to come closer so he can back stab her . So no he did it because he wanted to kill her coldblooded . He had a choice to leave her alone to knock her out but instead he draws her closer to kill her  yep SS is so much better. And again you are not seeing the meaning  the context and the circumstances of which this murder attempts occurred they play a big role in this just so you know.  

 

 
Insulting and degrading is taking it too far. Sasuke has never done either of those things.
 

WOW are you sure about this , making feel someone like kitten is not a degrading telling her she's useless isn't are you sure he hasn't done this ? And no its not it's what it is read part 1 again please .

 

Sasuke calling Sakura annoying or saying she's weaker than Naruto is the truth. She was a spoiled brat who need to step it up, which is the whole point of her character development. Good for him to call her out and to have a hand on it. How is this bad when it helped her improve?
 

No it didn't he only put her down and insult her as human being instead to try and help her , and watching Naruto fight , work harder him cheering her up giving her attention is what helped her improve herself , show me a panel when she says that she needs to improve herself because of Sasuke calling her annoying and weak ? Sasuke leaving the village is what helped her improve herself hmmm why is that so ? Yes it so good to tell someone he's so worthless in the most rude way bravo for him such a nice guy he is .

 

Sasuke told her to not meddle into his business? What is the problem? Do you think Naruto was wrong to tell Sakura not to meddle into the rivalry between Sasuke and him after the Hospital scuffle?
 

Yes grabbing her hand squeezing it like he did that was so good  to her just look at her face her tears , oh and telling her to shut the hell up is so much better right ? Instead of Naruto telling her gently politely not to interfere you know with actual care for her ? Yes there is totally no difference at all right? That Sasuke he's always right nothing wrong with how he treats her   -_- .

 

Sasuke thinking of Sakura with team 7, so what of it? He hasn't thought of Naruto alone either and he thought of Kakashi when he was doing his CS jutsu. How is this relevant to gauge his bond with them?

By the way, because I can and this is what I really want to bring home: Sasuke has never thought of Karin alone either. He only thought of her once because Kabuto mentioned her and he remembered the rest of Team Taka too!

I beg to differ she is the only person he smiled at sincerely something he hasn't done to Sakura and that say allot about SK and SS and this event happen in part 1 imagine that   ,  and yes he did single her out i suggest you to watch Taka vs Bee fight again  saying her name wile trying to Save her and the desperation on his face ,  again something that SS doesn't have . And he has thought of Naruto alone plenty of times cus Naruto means something to him he effect him saying this is irrelevant  is a big mistake .

 

And no you can't say this cus of the above he actually remembered her "alone" wile saving her , and he said the exact same words to her when he stab her wile she remembered the first time they met the smile he gave her and said the words he said to her , all of this was drawn into a parallel and this says allot , she was such a tool for him that he even remembered those lines ? Funny how SS supposed to be batter then SK or that Sakura meant more to him than Karin when he didn't even remembered anything about her when he was trying to kill her SS is so better right ? He didn't even remember who Sakura was as a person  and yet she was precious to him ? Sorry but this is thrown out of window now  he was very much indifferent about Sakura when he tried to kill her .    

 . 

Yamato's words are that Sasuke is dangerous, not that he's going to kill her. In fact, Sasuke's move is one to disable (and contrarily to what you said, what I said are Yamato's words).
http://www.mangapand...hapter-308.html
http://www.mangapand...hapter-308.html

Wow so Sasuke went for the kill toward Naruto but Sakura he just wanted to disable her WTH WTH !!!1  The whole point why he was dangerous is that Yamato noticed his killing intend from the focus of his eyes you really are kidding your self here if you think this is the case .  Sorry but this even SS fans don't use this excuse , come on man this scene is clear as daylight . 

 

The other point i didn't addressed @Awes9 answered them perfectly for me more or less :))) 

 

OH and just so you know don't think that because of this i support SK i don't like it but if you think SS has more of a chance then SK becoming canon then i'm sorry but i disagree with this . And this is my last reply on this subject.

I'm sorry to say this, but it's not a pleasure anymore to come in this thread since yesterday.

All I see is aggressivity and mostly tension between people, I understand that it's a debate thread, but to me, it's more a fight between SK/Anti-SK rather than a debate. I feel like reading a NS/NH-SS deabte, theses are the very same tension that are present in this kind of debate. Everyone is expressing his opinion like it was the truth. But it's just an opinion. No one can say who's right or wrong except Kishimoto, if SK is canon at the end, it will prove that you shouldn't have taken as a joke and if not than toobad for those who like it.

 

But all I wanted to say, is please you can express your like or dislike of the pairing, but do it in a little more respect. I assure you that as a reader, you feel tensions while reading the posts. 

 

The new pairing thread is a rally good idea. So pairing fans will be able to talk about it without bothering those who don't like it.

I know i came here to see NS opinions and discus it not to hear if you ship or don't ship but acknowledge it that has a shot in canon  SK you also ship SS cus it's better it totally killed the thread for me and that's a shame . What is more a shame to me is that i actually took a part in this, and i'm  so sorry for that , i hope this nonsense will stop now .

Oh, SasuKarin talk .... staying out of that. :twitch:

 

If anyone's looking for a change of topic, I got one. What are your thoughts on Sakura's relationship with Naruto now that he's dying? Do you think it's likely she might realize she loves him through this/has feelings for him, but it's kept ambiguous until the final arc when she has to chose between chasing after Sasuke the rest of her life or being with Naruto?

 

This last chapter and the one after will be a big moment for us and I'd much rather talk about that than seeing SasuKarin/SasuSaku talk everywhere (no offense to them). I honestly couldn't care less for SK and hate it as much as SS, but that's not the point. The point is this is a NaruSaku Debate Thread, not a SK vs. SS debate thread. :confused:

I honestly couldn't care less for SK and hate it as much as SS, but that's not the point. The point is this is a NaruSaku Debate Thread, not a SK vs. SS debate thread. :confused:

Personally, I kind of want Naruto to die with Sakura sitting next to him. I think that'd be what pushes her to the edge and she unknowingly says "I love you" while she's crying on his chest or something like that. I'm thinking the 2011 OVA may have been a spoiler or teaser for things to come in the future. I'm also kind of expecting something to happen while she's looking after him. Maybe she has to fight off a threat while Naruto is recovering? 

 

You have no idea how tempted I am to just say "This is it! We've won!" but I know better. This is Kishimoto's writing after all. I could be just another 'troll' on his part. But regardless. I think the end of the pairing wars is in sight. I think Sakura will make up her mind before the final battle between Naruto and Sasuke, and I think she might end up fighting against Sasuke as well. For some reason,. I'm expecting Naruto to be extremely weak still at this point. He doesn't have Kyubbi anymore to speed up his healing, so he won't be a fast healer this time.

 

 

And about the SK stuff. Can we please have that discussion on a different thread or something? It's getting annoying having all that stuff here. This is about NaruSaku. Lets try and keep it that way.

To me it's more that she already realizes she has romantic feelings for him and that she's conflicted in two ways,

 

1. That she has lingering feelings for Sasuke

 

2. That she put herself out there and got rejected again.

 

Pretty much every single time she's put herself out there for someone she's been rejected by them. First Sasuke during her big "Confession" [And while every other time she asked him out or did something nice for him. That jerk, Knocking the fruit dish aside. :down: ] But then she put herself on the line again for Naruto, the guy who she knows has feelings for her and not only does he reject her but he says she's lying and that he hates it. But my guess is that Naruto's "Death" combined with Chiyo's words might push her over the edge. The other thing to consider is that if she stays with Naruto despite Sasuke being near death, this would be a huge blow to Naruto's belief that Sakura is "lying".

Sakura will accept her feelings for Naruto at the end of the hero's journey (this is a thing). I understand people want it as soon as possible, but if NS hasn't happened around the middle of part 2, then it's only going to happen at the end. Naruto will get everything he ever wanted then and not before. This includes the Hokage position and the complete acknowledgement by others (the whole Alliance and the enemies he'll defeat - including Sasuke and Madara and Obito).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monomyth

I am excited for the pairing as we will see how much Sakura cares for Naruto, how much his loss deeply affects her and how she'll surpass tsunade in saving her precious ones (or at least one of them). This has never happened to her, she was very conveniently out of sight when Naruto was pinned down by Pain. So next week will be another stepping stone for the eventual NS canonisation. Sometime at the end, everything will come to Sakura, including this moment.

I'm also looking forward to see the anti Sakura brigade splutter but that's neither here nor there for this thread.

@NarutoFireFoxUzumaki: Okay, I ignored your former post to see if you got a hint (aka don't reply to me and I won't reply to you), but you're insisting. If that is what you wish, than I'll entertain that.

You are missing the whole point of that scene tell we when have you seen Sasuke freaked out about a women being close to him or hugging him do tell , with Sakura and Ino he was indifferent about them but Karin makes him do this OOC face is bad ? It's the same face Naruto does when he's scared of Sakura are you gonna tell me that that is bad for them ?


I'm saying is that his reaction to Karin is really telling that he doesn't want anything to do with her physically.
 

Wut ? He has never ever treated Karin like he treated Sakura please tell me when he has called Karin annoying  or defended Sakura   against somebody even if she was the one to start the argument and was responsible for it please tell me how is this no different or this thing just don't matter ? And he was a total a**hole to Sakura this is the truth deal with it .


Better to call Sakura annoying, then to ignore Karin's cry for help, call her a burden while laughing and stabbing her.

Except he didn't know that Sakura was planing that didn't he , but instead he was setting up Sakura to come closer so he can back stab her . So no he did it because he wanted to kill her coldblooded . He had a choice to leave her alone to knock her out but instead he draws her closer to kill her  yep SS is so much better. And again you are not seeing the meaning  the context and the circumstances of which this murder attempts occurred they play a big role in this just so you know.


Sasuke did know. It's implied by Kakashi when he asks Sakura that she was planning to kill Sasuke.

Yes, the context. Sakura was trying to kill Sasuke and he responded with an attempt of his own, while Karin was his team mate asking for help after being captured but Sasuke stabbed her while laughing and calling her a burden.

WOW are you sure about this , making feel someone like kitten is not a degrading telling her she's useless isn't are you sure he hasn't done this ? And no its not it's what it is read part 1 again please .


You're exaggerating, because Sasuke didn't say she was useless. Hr said she was weaker than Naruto. Which she was. The one he called a burden was Karin.
 

No it didn't he only put her down and insult her as human being instead to try and help her , and watching Naruto fight , work harder him cheering her up giving her attention is what helped her improve herself , show me a panel when she says that she needs to improve herself because of Sasuke calling her annoying and weak ? Sasuke leaving the village is what helped her improve herself hmmm why is that so ? Yes it so good to tell someone he's so worthless in the most rude way bravo for him such a nice guy he is .

Yes grabbing her hand squeezing it like he did that was so good to her just look at her face her tears , oh and telling her to shut the hell up is so much better right ? Instead of Naruto telling her gently politely not to interfere you know with actual care for her ? Yes there is totally no difference at all right? That Sasuke he's always right nothing wrong with how he treats her -_- .


You really think this is about SS, don't you? It's not so you can feel at ease, SS sucks too. Obviously I'm not going to answer. I don't care about SS outside of putting SK in its place.
 

I beg to differ she is the only person he smiled at sincerely something he hasn't done to Sakura and that say allot about SK and SS and this event happen in part 1 imagine that   ,


Sasuke has smiled at Sakura many times.
http://www.mangapand...chapter-36.html
http://www.mangapand...hapter-181.html
http://www.mangapand...m/naruto/632/18

and yes he did single her out i suggest you to watch Taka vs Bee fight again  saying her name wile trying to Save her and the desperation on his face ,  again something that SS doesn't have . And he has thought of Naruto alone plenty of times cus Naruto means something to him he effect him saying this is irrelevant  is a big mistake .


Sasuke was ready to sacrifice his life for Sakura too. It doesn't mean he wants a romantic relationship with her. Same for Karin.

Sasuke only thought of Naruto alone once in part 2 and it had a team 7 panel after all that. I don't see how Sasuke thinking of Naruto alone proves that he cares about Karin, by the way.
 

And no you can't say this cus of the above he actually remembered her "alone" wile saving her


He didn't, at all. If being focused on her counts, than Sasuke admiring Sakura's fighting prowess counts too.

and he said the exact same words to her when he stab her wile she remembered the first time they met the smile he gave her and said the words he said to her, all of this was drawn into a parallel and this says allot , she was such a tool for him that he even remembered those lines ?


That's Karin's flashback, actually.

Funny how SS supposed to be batter then SK or that Sakura meant more to him than Karin when he didn't even remembered anything about her when he was trying to kill her SS is so better right ? He didn't even remember who Sakura was as a person and yet she was precious to him ? Sorry but this is thrown out of window now he was very much indifferent about Sakura when he tried to kill her.


Sasuke does remember Sakura as a person, she's not represented by a kunai in his memories. This is a double edged sword as well. Sasuke knew Sakura was a medic but he didn't know Karin was an Uzumaki. Not that it means anything, but it's funny to remember that when someone says the things you say about Sauske not remembering anything about Sakura but remembering a lot about Karin.
 

Wow so Sasuke went for the kill toward Naruto but Sakura he just wanted to disable her WTH WTH !!!1  The whole point why he was dangerous is that Yamato noticed his killing intend from the focus of his eyes you really are kidding your self here if you think this is the case .  Sorry but this even SS fans don't use this excuse , come on man this scene is clear as daylight .


Sasuke wasn't trying to murder Naruto there either. Like he said later to Orochimaru, he's not going to kill people that aren't Itachi.
 

The other point i didn't addressed @Awes9 answered them perfectly for me more or less :))) 
 
OH and just so you know don't think that because of this i support SK i don't like it but if you think SS has more of a chance then SK becoming canon then i'm sorry but i disagree with this . And this is my last reply on this subject.


I never said SS has more of a chance. I said SS sucks less than SK, contextually. I hope you realise you're getting angry over something I never said.

I'll repeat my stance: ship whatever you like because you can. However, outside of fandom, you shouldn't throw stones at other pairings roof if your own is made of very thin glass. SK's problems, like the disrespect, the fangirling, the murder attempts are more profound than SS's (as it should, because SS is NS's rival, the main pairing which needs a proper obstacle to conquer) and then there's the other problems associated with it as well.

I'm sorry to say this, but it's not a pleasure anymore to come in this thread since yesterday.


Sorry about that, but since I wasn't told to stop by the mods and the rest of the people just keep on answering my posts, it's not like I can give it up. I am a fan of Naruto, after all. :)

Just scroll down if you see my username, I guess.

Guys, personally, I don't think it should matter whether someone likes or hates SasuKarin.  This isn't a SasuKarin thread, and even if it was, would it matter if someone didn't like it?  People not liking it won't change the outcome of everything, and it won't change whether or not it becomes canon. 

 

Also, never got express my happiness with this newest chapter.  The quality is definitely coming back, and I couldn't be more satisfied.

Well, I'll be honest, I didn't read, but I have glimpse of it. That said you made it sound like we pact an alliance with SK fans or something. If you don't like it, that's ok. If others do, that's also ok. If someone proves other wrong in either intentional or not immature manner (unintentional would be wording it wrong), then that's not ok. Just let it be by gone. Agree to disagree. No one made a pact. It's just that they like it, that's it. No, we're not hypocrite, and if you feel that way, well look at their reasoning, and if it does separate with other pairings, mainly SS, yet you want to bash it, just let it go. Don't staple hypocrite. Hell, I can explain in defense for SK without using murder attempt and it still looks different than SS. But I have no time. I got others to do. Besides, this is NS debate. So let it go. Moving on.

 

Well, I hope someone here got an idea for an topic. No, bashing is not a topic. Think something debatable.

 

Edit: So many likes. I wish I have gif of Obama says one thing, leaves by kicking the door, because that's my sendoff.

Well I expect the return of the Yamato and Sai scene  appearing like a flashback to Sakura combined with the OVA 2011 scenario being played , this is when she will finally come to the realization that she loves Naruto and i do think that this can happen now as Naruto is dying , appears to be dead but he's not , or he's dead . And i see her coming in terms with her feelings to Sasuke by revisiting the bench scene chap.3 , this can also happen after the war is over or now if Naruto somehow chose to tell her that it was him that time , since i think her whole image of (the good,shy guy as she called him) Sasuke is actually based of that scene in short she has misunderstanding of who he really is as a person , so when she finds out she completely lets go of him and falls in love with Naruto completely , i just don't know if this can happen as Naruto/Sakura confesses his/her love to Naruto/Sakura or in a serious talk with her just before he goes to fight Sasuke.  Plus all of the above is played with some mix of  DanTsu , MinaKushi(maybe) and ObiRin paralel .

 

But i mainly see them becoming a couple after the NaruSasu fight as both of their confessions are being played at the same time (or maybe just as one of them is confessing )   this is also were i see a JiraTsu parallel also being played out not that we need parallels for canonization but from a story perspective  .

 

This is all i got for now :sweatdrop:  :D .

Oh, SasuKarin talk .... staying out of that. :twitch:

 

If anyone's looking for a change of topic, I got one. What are your thoughts on Sakura's relationship with Naruto now that he's dying? Do you think it's likely she might realize she loves him through this/has feelings for him, but it's kept ambiguous until the final arc when she has to chose between chasing after Sasuke the rest of her life or being with Naruto?

 

This last chapter and the one after will be a big moment for us and I'd much rather talk about that than seeing SasuKarin/SasuSaku talk everywhere (no offense to them). I honestly couldn't care less for SK and hate it as much as SS, but that's not the point. The point is this is a NaruSaku Debate Thread, not a SK vs. SS debate thread. :confused:

 

Yeah, I regret saying anything on the SK topic in the first place, it's gotten a bit out of hand. And thanks for bringing another topic for discussion, hopefully this SS/SK debate can start to clear out.

 

Anyways, it's entirely possible that Sakura will undergo a revelation about her feelings, but I don't know how ambiguous Kishi would be able to keep such a realization. Maybe he intends on making NaruSaku canon sooner than we think, but I won't get my hopes up for that, it's very likely he'll find a way to keep this pairing drama going for a while longer. Probably continue skirting Sakura's unresolved issues with Sasuke, and even throw in a little Hinata just to keep people guessing. I think there will be a significant moment coming for NaruSaku soon, I just don't know how to expect it to play out.

I just wish NaruSaku's atmosphere wasn't compromised by other pairings entering. Seriously, lately whenever Sakura shows up, Hinata has to show up, and this time it's just to show her having a conversation with the ground. And now, for some ungodly reason, NS is being partner up with SK. When is Kishi gonna devote a chapter or at least half a chapter with just NS without me turning the next page to see Hinata saying her favorite word and us being reminded that she loves Naruto? To me, NS doesn't always feel like the main hetero pairing because it gets interrupted.

Well aside from all this, there are really views on other pairings that really make me question the fandom, I mean aside from the arguements people throw out, one thing that really makes me speechless is the evidence section of stuff on the narutopairings wiki, seriously they give more reasons for nh to occur than ns as expected of a fan run website, but this headache part:

They give ns only 6 reasons of evidence and generally these are the only ones on the site that really all make legitimate sense (mostly)

Then they give nh 8 reasons as "evidence" and that page is filled to the brim with fillers and other stuff like the commonly mentioned or used ep 166 stuff or uns2 and 3 secret lovers team and end mission with hinata, even though sakura gets an end mission with naruto as well.

But oh boy, the sasusaku page has 15 reasons of "evidence" in its section and some of it is just, well, oh god. It's like people seriously believe it should still happen that Sasuke should still just love sakura in the end despite everything else? If you see these reasons, it may make you say if these people really seriously believe some of it at this point, I mean out of everything in that page, only 3 to 5 at best seemed true, but the rest just, oh man, I'm not bashing but when I see how other pairing fans display their outlook on their own pairings, if it's not even in the realm of the manga, people are still just inserting stuff as reason. Given it's a wiki run by baised fans, but just to see how people still expect something like SS to just happen at this point, it's well, I cannot say it, I would use a quote from the angry video game nerd but since it's full of harsh words and this is a clean site, I cannot say any of it nor will I.

^Yeah it is really despite everything else. I don't see SS happening for many reasons, and one is because I can't picture them having the same lifestyle, walking side by side. All of Sasuke's ambitions contradicts Sakura's, not just those for revenge. He needs someone extremely loyal to him, but I don't think Sakura would want to be beside him while creates a village and becomes a Kage(if he ever does, but that is beside the point).
