Sasuke would've been so much better if he had been like Riku. My older brother likes to compare Riku to Sasuke all the time, but the truth is Riku actually learns his lesson way earlier and cares about his friends a lot more. Riku is like the person Sasuke should've been IMO.

 

I understand why Sasuke doesn't let himself care or when he does show it, but seriously you have no idea how much he pisses me off with how much he takes Naruto for granted. He needs to grow the hell up so bad, I'm tired of seeing his bullsh*t.

 

I will honestly say the only reasons I don't hate Sasuke is because of Naruto and the fact that I somehow still have "sympathy" left for him.

So is NS or SS more popular in Japan?

For me, sasuke character is simple. He's an avanger and will always for reason to avange something until naruto show him the light in the narusasu fight.

 I Heard that SS , but I Heard that NS wins sometimes to, but I don't feel sure, maybe one person from Japan knows this answer

 

 

About Sasuke theme:

 

All the characters in this manga except for Sasuke have a purpose in their lives, an ingrained complexity in their dreams and illusions , all fight their battles to find out who they are, that's why I love Naruto, humanity each character is compelling .

Kishimoto could have changed my perception of my hatred for his character and his lack of growth ,I have seen many series full of enemies with much more complexity than Sasuke and I love that kind of villains.

A great example of this is Sakura, I used to hate Sakura in the beginning, every bad thing that happened to her with Sasuke held as punishment for her superficiality , but as the series progressed she suffered emotionally and for the simple reason being a 12 year old girl with a natural immaturity at that age , emotional violence suffering because of Sasuke is monstrous , when you look at each scene carefully I realize the fatal mistake I was making , my hatred was caused by my inability to understand her as a human being that is wrong , if there is a humane and realistic character is Sakura, is the most human character growth and dramatic change in the series, changed from being a whimsical girl who cared her figure and style her hair to impress Sasuke to become a true heroine who fights for her village, villagers saved many lives including the enemy side and she has protected Naruto at any cost , is a spectacular and unrecognizable woman who grew based of emotional distress , it is a shame how many people are blind to this, she not only fight ninja battles, also within itself releases an internal battle to know what she feels about Naruto being a mystery throughout the series .

Kishimoto can develop a character and give complexity as he wish.

Hard to believe there was a time when Kishi actually let Sasuke lose a fight

[NaruSakuishere]

He lost many fights, and got saved many times.

Such a shame he humiliated Naruto right in front of Sakura before that though lol

I still don't get Kishimoto's obsession with Over powered Uchihas

Wow I just a like on a very old post. Good to know these are forever relevant.

In a way, he lost a lot of fights in part 1, or at least good amount of them and many were taken by Naruto, namely Gaara. When Sasuke was hyped to fight new opponents, all of them got beaten or acknowledged by Naruto, especially Gaara, which put him in a bad mood. Now in part 2, well he's gotten lucky, though Killer Bee, he really got his ass handle to him. Still, Naruto continues to grow, he should be thankful he got the power. If he gets jealous here, boy, this won't end well.

To get the topic back on NaruSaku,  what's the general consensus about what Naruto feels about his relationship with Sakura right now on what it is or not? I've seen some mixed opinions on it lately and I'd be nice to see it debated. So which option are you betting on?

 

A). Naruto still believes his feelings for Sakura are one-sided and that she just still loves Sasuke, no matter what Sakura said to him during the confession.

B). Naruto mostly believes Sakura doesn't reciprocate, but he's a bit more open-minded on the idea than he was pre-confession.

C). Naruto doesn't know what to think about Sakura's feelings for him right now.

D). Naruto believes Sakura returns his feelings, but he's still a little confused on her feelings for Sasuke.

 

I'm somewhere between A and B. Naruto seemed so stubborn about Sakura not loving him at all during the confession and then again he insisted to Sai she loved Sasuke, but the part where I consider B is that he called Sakura "more or less" his girlfriend in 631 with a straight face which is confusing for me to interpret still.  

[Gojira]

D.

Naruto got the message that Sakura is returning his feelings throughout Part 2, enough where he's able to ask her out on dates on multiple occasions.

After everything that went on between them it would have been weird if he introduced her as just his friend. Basically what I got from it was that Naruto considers Sakura his girlfriend but he's not sure whether Sakura feels the same hence the "more or less".

[TrueSacrifice]

Somewhere between A and B. Naruto thinking Sakura still doesn't love him will make it all the more dramatic when he finds out that isn't the case.

 

I think he told his dad that Sakura was his girlfriend because he really wanted him to think so. He hesitated because he knew he was telling a lie and that Sakura would probably react the way she did.

[Shashank95]

I go with A. He's too stubborn for his own good.

I'd choose A. But his girlfriend comment makes think about D too.

He did not hesitate because he was telling a lie, he hesitated because Sakura was not officially his girlfriend and they were not just friends either. Their relationship was way above being friends but stopped at almost being a girlfriend because she had not yet confessed to him. And that is what we all tend to do when someone asks us whether the said girl is your girlfriend or not. If things are not official between the boy and girl meaning both of them did not have a confession but both of them know that they love each other, anyone would give the same reply. Naruto could not bluntly state that Sakura was his girlfriend and neither could he state that they were best friends because their friendship was not limited to being best friends and both of them know this.

If that was the case it would be more like the Konohamaru incident
