I noticed that too, but if she did how come Sasuke get's up in a pile of rubble instead of getting up someplace less ruined?

Maybe she (and Kakashi?) didn't have time to take Sasuke to some other place, because they still have Naruto that needs to be healed too - that's why she just treated his most serious injuries and then immediately came back to help Naruto?

I watched the vid once again, and if you skip to 5:01, you'll see a rocky?island surrounded by water, when Sasuke appears (at 5:09), seems like he's location is this same rocky?island. I have no idea how (or why) did he get there (probably he was blown away by some enormous explosion/chidori vs rasengan), I just hope that Sakura didn't swim there to fix him. Wait... what am I talking about?? She could use chakra water walking technique + that pool doesn't seem to be very deep.
(it's a very crappy theory, I know...)

Anyway, it seems to me that she's been by Naruto's side only (hopefully).

Well, from what I've read in the threads about the recent episodes and in comparison to the ova, she choose Naruto from the looks of things, huzah, the conclusion is that there is nothing to worry about and whatever happens in the anime that may downplay Naruto's or Sakura's traits, characteristics, or development, at least we still have that ova, which look to be taken place in the future obviously, but in what context and when?

The second chapter was idiotic...

Oh, really?? remember how Kishi stated that Sakura is his "most realistic character" and the fact that you sang praises about it?? and now you're being a hypocrite by wanting Pierrot to "desentize" her reaction. Her reaction here is the most realistic reaction there is and it's completely in line with with Kishi's intentions for her character. What Sakura saw was things worse than she ever saw in her whole life as a medic-nin. It's also completely in line with Nagato's messages about war. War is hell, and it's nothing like you've seen before (to Naruto). That also applies to the rest of the Konoha 11.

So Sakura's reaction was excellent to me and completely fits Nagato's message. The Konoha 11 is about to face something they've never seen before and Sakura's reaction to those photos was because the injuries, corpses' conditions were on a whole other level than she's seen before.

And your Pain arc as proof is weak IMO. Pain's jutsus were actually just the tip of the iceberg of what's to come. That's also the whole point of that arc.




I can't say it any better than you, Boom. Ciardha has always argued how one of the things that makes Sakura compatible is how similar she is to Naruto on some level. And yet, here ciardha believes she should be more static. And your argument about being off-duty affects their reactions sound plausible.

BUT APPARENTLY realistic isn't good enough for the fans with regards to Sakura because they always say she's weak or useless and to grow a backbone or something but those HYPOCRITES always empathize with HINATA when she shows those same signs of weakness yeah its true Sakura's charm is in her realism but Kishimoto also wanted to portray her as more heroine like Pierot made a scene of her where she would get bashed and we've all had enough of people bashing Sakura so it's hard not contradicting your self please try to understand that Codus

Easy no bashing follow the rules.

Yay, no finally we get to see Kabutomaru in all his glory! But I was kinda expecting his robe to be black and not red!

Anyway, the scene with Kabutomaru and Madara was really well done. Especially that part where they walked into Madara's hideout and they were both scowling at eacother like "Im on to you!".

And damnit, now I really want to know what's in that coffin that made Madara so scared!

In the second episode I really liked the meeting with all the Kage's. Its always fun to see the different villages interact with eachoter, especially when Onoki commented on Tsunade's temper. I wonder what he would say if he ever met Sakura.

The funniest scene for me was by far when Sakura dragged Naruto away by his ears. Oh will the poor guy ever get to eat his precious ramen?!

Now I agree that Sakura's reaction to those photos was somewhat excessive. However as someone else has already pointed out, one of the prevailing messages of the series is that war is a totally different experience from everything else. No matter how hardcore you may think you are, nothing will prepare for the horrors of war. I think that was the message here. That this upcoming war will stretch not only Sakura's medical expertise, but also her ability to keep cool under pressure, to its very limit.

And the whole "Who should I help first?" dilemma fits pretty well with Sakura's character. She is torn between Naruto and Sasuke, because despite all the horrible things Sasuke has done, she still can't brush him off completely. I don't even think it has anything to do with who she loves the most. I mean we know that she cares a lot about Naruto and that she is willing to put herself in danger so that he wont sink into darkness and we know that she was willing to kill Sasuke for the same reason. Besides I believe that, should that scenario ever occur, she would save Naruto first. At the end of the day she knows that her future lies with him and not Sasuke.

SWEET!!!! I thought only Boom...Winning was the only other tales fan here thank you for me being wrong!

I feel you Codus, I feel you, hypocrisy is one of the most annoying terms in this world for me personally, because people have the gall to preach, criticize, lecture etc. others when they don't act, feel, or think, the same way themselves. That irritates the heck out of me
