People are finally waking up. A viral positive Sakura tweet

 

https://twitter.com/...932993034039296


Pierrot was constantly trying to drag down Sakura in anime.
Sakura always was considered beautiful in Manga and have a normal Chest size.
But Pierrot was always making the same useless jokes about Sakura's chest size, mocking her body, super strength and calling her ugly.  This is the origins of the Sakura Hate, Sakura x Hinata, and Hinata Fanboys using that to try to ridicule Sakura.

Even in the most recent adaptation of the Retsuden, pierrot made sure to remove a lot of Sakura and SS scenes.
Honestly, Kishimoto should forbid Pierrot to touch Sakura and in his Manga again. 

Pierrot is Trash.

Well now that I have read the Sasuke manga. Therece if you think that is romantic...you have a disturbing taste. What is romantic about someone dreaming about their love dying so they could revive them with Edo tensei and wanting them to do the same to themselves so they can live together forever as zombies?

 

Sakura has clearly considered it and clearly wants Sasuke to do that same if something would happen to her. With the only thing stopping her from going through with it is the rest of the cast would stop them

Read the ninth chapter.

 

What I got out of the manga was SS relationship is, "Sasuke you will love/be with me or Edo Tensei."

I just checked it. I have to applaud you for spending time and neurons on this calling it garbage would be too nice.

There are moments where I don't know what to say because it's just too stupid. This is one of them.

I saw haters squad hating on Sakura when  Sakura/Ino talked and Sakura called Sasuke hot at tenth chapter. Not because the Edo Tensei... 
 
Basically: 
 
111111.jpg
 
This was a  dilema already explored in Naruto manga.. If I remember correctly, Orochimaru tried to use the same argument with Tsunade. Tsunade was really tempted to resurrect her brother and Dan.   Sakura know that was wrong and probably would gave up at last moment like Tsunade...
Sasuke never used Edo Tensei even to see his clan again...
Edo Tensei helped Sasuke to see itachi again and meeting Hashirama. Edo Tensei brought Minato to Naruto again.
I didn't see nobody calling them disturbing characters for interacting with Edo Tenseis...
So i don't see a problem.
 
The only thing ridiculous in the story for me was the Dino Edo Tensei army.

I see this thread sparked to life since I was last here.
I skipped the previous page, give or take since I don't have a lot of time to spend on the computer. But Therece, I just want to say that you're def in the wrong place if you think anyone here is going to give SS/their fandom even the smallest hint of respect or kindness. The people here have been here since before the series ended, dealt with the ship wars and the absolute horrible disrespect the fandoms had for each other. And we dropped Naruto after it ended. So most, if not all of us, really couldn't care less about whatever damage control the IP owners have done since the ending. The damage is done. They couldn't make NH/SS appealing during the original run and had to try and justify it after they were already married with kids. If you have to do that, then you've done a horrific and awful job with your pairings. Like, below bottom tier awful. Especially when you have a very well developed and healthy, natural ship that literally everyone aside from fanatic shippers expected to happen.

We all hate SS because we're Sakura fans. He rarely treated her well, even when they were together as a team. Before Sasuke decided to go rouge. Before the time skip. Their 'best moments' were when they were 12 years old. After that Sasuke tried to murder Sakura and she was even prepared to murder him as well. I get people love angst but by no means should anyone ever consider that to be 'good' or 'healthy' or the 'ideal relationship'. imho it should be treated as it is. Horrible and tragic if you're going to do it. Never portrayed as a good thing or in a positive light.
Even in the final arc, Sasuke went on about how he didn't love her, was willing to let her and Kakashi die a horrible death in lava, call her useless.

A toss away 'sorry' and forehead poke should not and does not make up for all of that. Even in the context of the story. The ship isn't even defendable post ending. The very first thing we got from Kishimoto after the ending was Gaiden which showed us how """great""" SS was. No family photos, Sasuke produced a child and then never visited said child for 12 years and zero excuse not to, apparently not even there for her birth. S and S had never kissed at that point. Sakura not even recalling if Sasuke had glasses and was in horrible debt with zero help from Sasuke. Kishimoto's original comments about Gaiden was for the fans to decide who was Salad's real biological mother. A novel that pretty much told us that Sakura followed Sasuke and bothered him non-stop until he caved and 'married her'.
The anime even had a scene where Sakura was reminiscing with Ino on a bench about how she had a date with Sasuke on that very bench and it lasted a whole  ~three minutes~. How romantic!!!  :love:  :wow: 
And as other people have mentioned, Kishimoto doesn't seem to have a single nice thing to say about the ship. It seems pretty obvious to me that he doesn't like it. He probably expected Hinatatas and Naruto to be the new stars and Hinatatas to be the new heroine while Sasuke and Sakura became side characters, but that obviously failed. People loved Team 7. They loved Sasuke and Sakura as much as Naruto. Sasuke probably the most popular of the three. They were very stupid to think that Naruto would still hold onto his crown after breaking up the team like that.
In all honesty? At the very least if NaruSaku happened, Team 7 would still be together in the spotlight. Most fans already assumed Sasuke was either going to die or not live in Konoha anymore post ending and they were right. Everyone was already used to and fine with Team 7 with Sasuke out of reach. Post ending just meant they could, ya know, still spend time together and be good ole' team 7 without all the fighting.

But this ending ultimately separated all three of them from each other with them pining for the old days. Sasuke, as suspected, doesn't want to live in Konoha so despite being with Sakura, Sakura is all alone. Naruto is separated from Sasuke and Sakura because for some reason, they felt the need to completely sever the beautiful bond Naruto and Sakura had. Probably because it would completely outshine NH and SS in comparison and make people scratch their heads. That's my theory at least.
They try to negate the fact that the NaruSaku bond has been destroyed with spin off things like that weird Naruto mobile game with CGs. I remember there was a Christmas one where Naruto is decorating a tree and smiling at Sakura while she is sitting at a table with an ornament. And Hinatatas is shoehorned into the background with food because they can't get enough of her and they love shoehorning her in Naruto and Sakura's relationship despite never being there. 
There was in the Burrito anime, a photo in Naruto's house of him, Sakura and Hinata as 12 year old's. Like ???????????? They keep shoehorning this cardboard side character into places she was never a part of in the first place. It's gross and disgusting.

I'm among the group who also thinks Sakura's confession was not 'fake'. Half of it was fake, but not completely. Her lie was getting over Sasuke. But she did love Naruto. But most of the fandom either lacks the reading comprehension to grab that or they just refuse to accept it. Heaven forbid they acknowledge NaruSaku actually was very close to happening.


Also SS being popular does not mean its good. Twilight is extremely popular, even more so than SS, but do you think its good? Probably not. 

Sakura became a childish fangirl who only loved Sasuke because he was hot and sexy and cool. That panel in the Sasuke manga of Sakura being like "omg sasuke is sooooooooooooooooo hawwwwwttt  :drool:  :drool: " only kind of furthers the point. I've seen people on twitter defend the panel by saying it's normal for a wife to lust after her husband. Yeah, that's true. But the problem is, is that's all Sakura ever loved about him. We are never shown why she loves Sasuke. 
Even Sasuke himself says she has zero reason to love him and Kakashi being all like "U DUN NEED NO REAZON TO LUV SUMONE" sounds like that was going to be Kishimoto's defense for SS at best. Yes, you actually do need a reason to TRULY love someone romantically. Otherwise there's no such thing as 'incompatibility'. Everyone can just fall in love with anyone anywhere despite personality, beliefs, actions and how they treat you.  :fu:  You don't need a reason to love and care for someone as a human being despite differences. But romantically? Yeeeeeeeeah. You kinda dooooooo. ""Loving"" someone because they're ""hot"" is not really love. It's lust. Same with loving the idea of someone. Which Sakura seems to fall under both in some way. We know she doesn't love him for his 'reliability' or 'protectiveness' or 'kindness' or 'compassion' or 'warmth' or 'honesty' or 'support' or 'presence'. 

Just a tween's reason to claim they're in love: Hot, sexy, cool. 

Sakura also loses at least 90% of her backbone when Sasuke is around. She turns into a puddle and doormat for Sasuke to walk all over.

We love the Sakura who stands up for herself and others, the Sakura who is strong, the Sakura who is confident, the Sakura who is mature, the Sakura who is honest, the Sakura who is smart and coolheaded when the need rose for it, the Sakura who had character development and being around Sasuke just wiped half of it away.
She pretty much returned to her 12 year old self with the exception of being mean/not understanding Naruto. We and most of the fandom, hated that Sakura. But SS fans are willing to sweep all of that under the rug because their self insert ship came true.
It's sad. Horribly sad. Sakura was one of the most beautifully developed characters I had seen and it was all completely destroyed.

Let me make it clear; I don't care about the SS fandom. I don't care how 'good' Sasuke is to Sakura now. It was Kishimoto's job to sell the pairing to me BEFORE the series ended. And he failed. I even gave Gaiden a chance. If anything, he made me hate the ship and what it did to Sakura.
How she acts around Naruto vs how she acts around Sasuke is as clear as night and day. It's not even fitting for an 'enemies to lover' trope. That trope at least has mutual development, respect and understanding because it has to in order to work.

Rant over.

--

I know a lot of people say that they're glad NS didn't happen because of how horrible Burrito is. But I can't help but disagree. I really do believe a NaruSaku dynamic would be way different than what we currently have. Hinatata is kind of a useless doormat, so it's easy for Naruto and her crotch goblins to wipe their feet all over her. I know Studio Pierrot tried to fix the awful dynamic by forcing Hinatata to suddenly act Kushina/Sakura-like but it obviously did not work. Honestly, no one is buying it. Very OOC for her.

Though, with how horrible the writing has been, it is a fair reason to suspect that even Naruto and Sakura would still be victims of OOC. But to that I say, I could at least still enjoy the OG Naruto series even if a NaruSaku ending fueled sequel turned out horribad. It's extremely easy to ignore.
Unfortunately, the current ending with two of the worst ships in existence has permanently ruined the series knowing that characters were gruesomely assassinated for the sake of the ships. So I can't really enjoy the OG series anymore. I still love it before it turned into a burning pile of toxic waste. That's why it still hurts so much, after all.
 


NaruSaku will always be better than crack and fan fiction

Sakura has clearly considered it and clearly wants Sasuke to do that same if something would happen to her. With the only thing stopping her from going through with it is the rest of the cast would stop them

Lets just remember that Edo Tensei requires a LIVING sacrifice so Sakura's giving him permission to kill some rando. Wow Sakura, what a mature thing to do. Like, what even happened to her character. "Sasuke you can't just run off to pursue revenge against the people who ruined your life, that'd be wrong and self destructive for you! If you do that Naruto and I will chase you down and drag you home." to "Sasuke, BE SURE TO RIP MY SOUL FROM THE AFTER LIFE SO WE CAN BE TOGETHER FOREVAAAAA."

Comparing Minato, Itachi and every one else being Edo tensei'd is weird since NO ONE seems to enjoy being brought back. [except Deidara who was just happy to explode stuff again and Madara who dictated it.] Its almost universally seen as a disgusting thing to do and perverts the natural order.

interesting how SS as a pair is happy to stoop to those levels, really speaks to their weird "relationship" and makes it seem permanently fixed on angsty tween levels. 
 

 


 No family photos, Sasuke produced a child and then never visited said child for 12 years and zero excuse not to, apparently not even there for her birth. S and S had never kissed at that point. Sakura not even recalling if Sasuke had glasses and was in horrible debt with zero help from Sasuke. Kishimoto's original comments about Gaiden was for the fans to decide who was Salad's real biological mother. A novel that pretty much told us that Sakura followed Sasuke and bothered him non-stop until he caved and 'married her'.
 

 

Sasuke was there for the birth, but he left pretty much right after  :hm: I said this years ago when these chapters first came out but my dad from LITERAL WARZONES still managed to get in contact with us kids even as bombs were going off in the background. The only person Sasuke bothered to call while he was away was his boyfriend Naruto. There is no excuse for him other than not caring and that's clear from the writing.  :zaru: 

Soldiers have to have breaks in their service so they can return home and decompress before returning to their posts but in 12yrs Sasuke takes zero. 

Oh, and Sakura became so bad of a medic that she couldn't sooth a child-fever and it caused Salad eye damage that's the beautiful excuse for the glasses. 

I think so much of non-shippers negative feelings about the sequel is that no one wanted or imagined THIS to be the adult lives of their fav characters.

The Sakura still fawning over Sasuke bit feels like arrested development. As even Ino points out, Sakura has been married to Sasuke for years. She should at least be used to his look enough so she doesn't fawn over him like a school girl over their first crush. For Pete's Sake, they had a child together.

 

The reason the edo tensei is overlooked is because people are clearly trying to ignore it or assume it not what it is.

 

I see it for what it is.

 

Now presumably the message is suppose to be, "yes, any person who has lost the love of their life would naturally wish for the power to return them to life, but Edo Tensei is not the answer; as it will just lead to misery. Hopefully, everyone has other people in their lives that help with the lost and not sink to that level. As well as one understanding your love wouldn't want that."

 

But again, because this feel like it wasn't edited is instead, "I constantly think of using Edo Tensei on Sasuke and I assume he thinks the same. The only reason I haven't gone through with it is everyone else would stop me." Remember by what the tenth chapter said, when she is on mission she can suppress/subdue her feelings, but when she in the village those feelings overwhelm her.

Again, permanently fixed on her tween mindset when it comes to Sasuke. Its not cute or romantic, its just embarrassing. Yes, its all well and good to remain attracted to the person you married YEARS after you married them (In fact, you should, that's ideal.) If you look like you're about to cream your pants in public whenever you so much as catch sight of them in the background...its creepy. 

I guess in Sakura's defense, she sees him so rarely its easy to forget how good looking he is.  :hehehe: Weirdos.


Once Sakura Edo-Tensei's Sasuke, she can make sure he never leaves her again by using a seal to strip him of all will  :zaru:
  ITS PERFECT! 

Meh, I'm off to watch GoG3 with the fam.

Even the story acknowledges that by way of Ino and tries to come up with an excuse. It would have been better if the writer hadn't done that, but again they were writing what they want, not what they should.

The idea that there are "fans" of Sakura who at this point should all be grown ass adults think her reactions to Sasuke are "Cute" Irks me  :hm:

If it were like a once and a while thing, alright, maybe. But its EVERY TIME she sees him and there is very little to no reciprocal affection from him. Its like he just tolerates her. ( and in very small doses since he's gone most of the time. )

That-That sounds like a contingency plan that would come straight out of the demented mind of the Queen of Yandere, Yuno-freaking-Gasai.  There's nothing humorous or charming about this - least of all, romantic! :wot:

 

For goodness sake, this is the kind of crap that fanfiction writers used to parody about Sakura. Now, the official material not only seeks to affirm that flanderization, but go a step further.  Yet, we're expected to be good little sycophantic sheep and support this depraved mockery of Sakura's character because it's what the author gave us? 

 

Yeah, kitten that.

Her wanting to edo-tensei Sasuke and herself is just par for course for the fanfic tier writing that is SS. I wonder how Sakura would feel is Sasuke was morbidly obese (but maintained all of his other qualities).🤣

He probably expected Hinatatas and Naruto to be the new stars and Hinatatas to be the new heroine while Sasuke and Sakura became side characters, but that obviously failed. People loved Team 7. They loved Sasuke and Sakura as much as Naruto. Sasuke probably the most popular of the three. They were very stupid to think that Naruto would still hold onto his crown after breaking up the team like that.

 

Yes, i finally agree with you.

 

Sasuke could sustain his popularity fine alone just like the entire Shippuden.
Naruto + Sakura as a main couple was logical decision for a sequel. Since hardly any other couple/kids would be able overshadow them.  But we all know what happened during the fake confession and Sakura/NaruSaku popularity.

 
Kishimoto made NH to turn Hinata even more popular and boost Hinata/Naruto popularity  for the sequel and save some Sakura popularity between SS fans. But this was double edged sword.
Sasuke/Sakura are main characters. Naruto alone never could sustent the NH illusory popularity.The last failed miserable.  Naruto/Hinata is no match againt Sasuke/Sakura and the Uchiha name.
 
Not even Boruto is a match against Sarada. Half of the old Naruto fandom agrees Sarada would be a better protagonist than Boruto just because she is a Uchiha and more interesting character thanks to her parents.

 

 

 

I know a lot of people say that they're glad NS didn't happen because of how horrible Burrito is. But I can't help but disagree. I really do believe a NaruSaku dynamic would be way different than what we currently have. Hinatata is kind of a useless doormat, so it's easy for Naruto and her crotch goblins to wipe their feet all over her. I know Studio Pierrot tried to fix the awful dynamic by forcing Hinatata to suddenly act Kushina/Sakura-like but it obviously did not work. Honestly, no one is buying it. Very OOC for her.

 

 

If you only obligatory requirement to enjoy the sequel was just to see Sakura at Hinata's place as Naruto's housewife in Ikemoto's manga.
So you're pretty admitted you doesn't care about good writting or Sakura's character
Sakura/Kakashi are the only OG characters saved from Boruto disaster because they didn't appear in this manga.

While Sakura isn't perfect in these SS Spin Offs/Novel/Anime Episodes. It's much better than Boruto's manga.
I would prefer Sakura's death than NaruSaku in Ikemoto's universe considering Hinata's situation.

At this point only a NaruSaku reboot with a new Mangaka or Kishimoto, could save the series for the Hardcore NaruSaku fans who coudn't enjoy anything post 699.
But SasuSaku, the whole Team 7 and some old characters like Itachi are still the only thing proving money to Boruto in Japan because Boruto Characters are too much a failure. Hinata still have some popularity to enter in TOP 10 worldwide.
Boruto and especially Sarada are very well received characters. They hardly will erase their characters to create Shinachiku, just like Dragon Ball Super didn't erased Pan and Bra.  The chances are very low to change SS/NH even in a possible reboot.

 

 

 So most, if not all of us, really couldn't care less about whatever damage control the IP owners have done since the ending. The damage is done. They couldn't make NH/SS appealing during the original run and had to try and justify it after they were already married with kids. If you have to do that, then you've done a horrific and awful job with your pairings. Like, below bottom tier awful. Especially when you have a very well developed and healthy, natural ship that literally everyone aside from fanatic shippers expected to happen. We all hate SS because we're Sakura fans. He rarely treated her well, even when they were together as a team. Before Sasuke decided to go rouge. Before the time skip. Their 'best moments' were when they were 12 years old. After that Sasuke tried to murder Sakura and she was even prepared to murder him as well. I get people love angst but by no means should anyone ever consider that to be 'good' or 'healthy' or the 'ideal relationship'. imho it should be treated as it is. Horrible and tragic if you're going to do it. Never portrayed as a good thing or in a positive light.
Even in the final arc, Sasuke went on about how he didn't love her, was willing to let her and Kakashi die a horrible death in lava, call her useless. Sakura not even recalling if Sasuke had glasses and was in horrible debt with zero help from Sasuke. Kishimoto's original comments about Gaiden was for the fans to decide who was Salad's real biological mother. A novel that pretty much told us that Sakura followed Sasuke and bothered him non-stop until he caved and 'married her'.
 

I will  not defend SS here or repeat the same things again. I never saw this interview about Kishimoto deciding to readers decide who is Sarada's mother. .

This is the only interview i knew:

Ironically Sakura role as as mother was very well praised and boosted her popularity.

 

Interview

 

Sakura/SS fans becomed super angry with Kishimoto's trolling in Gaiden and less in than two weeks his editors obligated Kishimoto to made clear  Sakura and Sarada are biological mother and daughter. Replacing Sakura with Karin could be a very a very stupid and suicidal move against the audience and SS fans because this was a real risk to the sequel future and Boruto Movie. This is the fisrt time Kishimoto was aware of Sakura/SS true popularity after the ending.

 

 

Mother

 

 

More than anything a spin off about Sakura's pregnancy and this period is another very good idea to milk the SS fans. if Kishimoto didn't want to write about this. Jump can easily got any Shoujo Mangaka.

Profissional Shoujo Mangakas are comming in public these days to praise Kishimoto and SS:

They are practically begging to write about SasuSaku.

 

 

 

 

I see this thread sparked to life since I was last here.
I skipped the previous page, give or take since I don't have a lot of time to spend on the computer. But Therece, I just want to say that you're def in the wrong place if you think anyone here is going to give SS/their fandom even the smallest hint of respect or kindness. The people here have been here since before the series ended, dealt with the ship wars and the absolute horrible disrespect the fandoms had for each other. And we dropped Naruto after it ended.

 

If you guys really want everybody to agree with you or show bitterness about the ending or rival fandoms forever. There's nothing to discuss anymore. Not waste my time too because i'm tired too..

 

Looks like some of you never will recognizing nothing good about SS, the post ending material with Sakura, better episodes and her new popularity ranking. Even SS fans who are hardcore Sakura fans are neutral towards the NS fans if they doesn't attack SS, but some of you still seems them as a mortal enemies.

So it's better just closer this forum or let this place die because sadly NaruSaku is finished in canon and there's nothing to talk about them. Kishimoto/Jump are hardly receiving feedback from NaruSaku fans in Japan.

The Sakura still fawning over Sasuke bit feels like arrested development. As even Ino points out, Sakura has been married to Sasuke for years. She should at least be used to his look enough so she doesn't fawn over him like a school girl over their first crush. For Pete's Sake, they had a child together.
 


I disagre with this. Having been in a relationship with someone for years sometimes i still acted like im a teen all over again. Thats just how it is in some relationships and often times it shows that the couple is still attracted to each other. I dont think Sakura needs to put down for that. I dont really see that as a flaw.

If you haven't seen Guardians of the Galaxy 3 yet, here is my endorsement; Its solid, emotional and highly enjoyable. I cried a lot  :zaru: 

This is how to do a "Found family" correctly, not the WTkittenY Kishimoto force fed us. 

You know, I can't say I really ever shipped Peter/Gamora but taking a hard look at their character dynamic I'm reminded of NS--and I'm going to leave it at that in case anyone else is waiting to see the movie.

To convert us but since our eyes are blind to the truwub-rays of SS  they want us to disappear.  :zaru: 
 

...What?

 

That-That sounds like a contingency plan that would come straight out of the demented mind of the Queen of Yandere, Yuno-freaking-Gasai.  There's nothing humorous or charming about this - least of all, romantic! :wot:

 

For goodness sake, this is the kind of crap that fanfiction writers used to parody about Sakura. Now, the official material not only seeks to affirm that flanderization, but go a step further.  Yet, we're expected to be good little sycophantic sheep and support this depraved mockery of Sakura's character because it's what the author gave us? 

 

Yeah, kitten that.

Actually this is perfectly IN character for Sakura (and all the main cast) when it comes to Sasuke. The man's got some weird-ass pheromones that turns everyone stupid when they come near him. Sucks that this is what they come up with though. 

I mean, why wouldn't they up the ante in regards to Sakura's obsessive love when the fandom eagerly gobbles it up? "Oh you LIKE crazy women and emotionally detached men?? WELL, WE'LL MAKE HER EVEN CRAZIER AND HIM EVEN LESS INTERESTED!!!" 
 

Her wanting to edo-tensei Sasuke and herself is just par for course for the fanfic tier writing that is SS. I wonder how Sakura would feel is Sasuke was morbidly obese (but maintained all of his other qualities).

If he's not handsome, what of him is of interest to her? Unless the thing that really turns Sakura on is fawning over people who ignore her and playing the victim of how "She barely sees her husband" Literally don't understand what SAKURA gets from Sasuke. I understand what HE gets from her, but relationships that are successful require some sort of feedback and reciprocity that these two don't have.

Because we speak the truth on this BS because we know SS is a bad toxic relationship, teaching young women that they can change a crazy nut job into loving them, and nothing would go wrong. I even talked to my next-door neighbour yesterday, a woman, and she said Sasuke is a kitten.

 

So yeah, the mask is slipping from what I can see, just a NH fan or pro ender wanting a threat to go away because, again, we speak the truth on the BS manga. And that Kishi isn't a good writer and never was one.
