[Recompense]

Does she deserve him?

Speaking plainly and honestly from a Point of View not my own...

No.

Now, let's put that into context.

Does Love seem in ANY way, shape, or form to be a rational emotion?

No

Hmmm, does Naruto really seem like the kind of guy to wonder WHY he loves Sakura?

Nope. Not a chance

Hell, Does a lack of love from Sakura's end even Dissuade Naruto?

Nope

So really it's a moot point.

[naruto_han]

kishi admitted himself that sakura was a love hate character in part one. in part two it clearly shows that she has grown up ( thx to our favorite knuckle head) and at least has genuine care for him. i mean would you run to help a demified person unless you cared deeply for them

[naruto_han]

Id have to say yes whole heartedly she does.

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 completely agree its narutos fault sakura ever had an image of a noble sasuke. (funny fact is many sasusaku fans say thats a reason they should be together when it was not even sasuke )

[Naruto s_gurl_sakura]

I also think thats It's naruto's fault.He transformed into sasuke and said exactly what she wanted sasuke to say.He almost kissed her as sasuke and sasusaku fans think that was sasuke when it was actualy naruto.those two things made sakura love sasue more or else she would have gotten over him quicker.But there is sort of a back up to this.When naruto made the promis of a lifetime she thought back to that day.Naruto had asked her what she thought of him.(as sasuke)she first said naruto didn't understand her at all and wanted to ruin her life.but then she saw how much naruto loved her and was thinking "You always understood me...You always helped me when I was in trouble or sad...Thank you so much naruto!"....... When i first saw this episode I cryed so hard...sniff.Well back to the question.I think she does deserve naruto.I dont care how she was back then.She saw who naruto really was when that butt sasuke left.One of my fav moments.

Um, people, what are you on? Sakura's thanked him twice in part I:

http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/74/06/
http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/183/14/

In the first case, she must have had a bad impression about the reaction she'd get when thanking him.

In the second case, she thanked him Before he made the promise of a lifetime! ^^

Apart from that:
- she wanted to safeguard his dreams in the first test (by forfeiting her team)
- she wanted to protect him and the others in the second test
- she cheered him against Kiba in the prelims
- she seemed too worried to cheer for him against Neji, but she did express joy at seeing him win, and thought about how he inspired her

Then she decided to go with an "Actions speak louder than words" approach. She saw Naruto all injured, so she decided to become a medic so that she can support him.

I think I don't need to speak for part II.
