Alright this is a subject that might get me flamed but I decided to do this anyway. Now a lot of Sakura haters I've seen call Sakura a slut/whore/bitch... Alright first off, how is Sakura a slut? I'm pretty sure a slut is someone who sleeps with a whole lot of guys, Sakura dosen't do that, first off she is twelve in Part 1 of Naruto and had a childhood crush on Sasuke and didn't pay attention to anyone else until the Wave Country arc when she saw how Naruto wasn't quite the loser she and others thought he was and was actually able to come up with good strategies when needed ( As shown with his plan to help free Kakashi from Zabuza's Water Prison jutsu) Now onto the next one, Sakura is a whore... Like I say in the title, since when? A whore is someone who has sex with multiple people, usually for money or something similar, Sakura has not done such a thing, she's a preteen in part 1 for crying out loud and she is about 15 or 16 in Shippuden. Basically the overobessive NaruHina fans use this to try and discredit NaruSaku, saying that if Sakura eventually lost romantic interest in Sasuke and turned to Naruto then that would make her a whore... How exactly? Not sure, and about that, first off Sasuke never showed any romantic interest in Sakura or anyone else for that matter, he was totally focused on getting revenge on Itachi, and when he said he wanted to ressurect his clan I think he may have meant he wanted to restore the honor of his clan. Sasuke is a literal guy and would not make metaphors or anything like that when he says this, if he wanted to make babies like many people think he does he would have probably said, " I want to make a new generation of Uchiha" instead of, " I'm going to ressurect my clan." Next, about Naruto, as the series progresses we see that Sakura is developing in that she realizes that Naruto has been there for her even though she was after Sasuke, and with Sasuke constantly criticizing her, talking down to her and betraying the village I think I would start losing romantic interest in a guy like that too (If I were female that is). When Naruto promised her that he would bring Sasuke back she realized just how truly Naruto wanted to see her happy and it pained her that she was such a burden to him so she vowed to get stronger so that Naruto wouldn't have to do things alone. Now the next one is that Sakura is a bitch. Alright, I'll admit that she is a bitch at the beginning of the series, but note that I said the beginning, after that, something called "character development" comes into play and she begins to mature. Yes she does hit Naruto but this is usually because Naruto does something stupid, infact I'd probably give him a smack upside the head too for some of the stuff he says. In Shippuden you can tell she is also holding back, the girl has the strength to shatter a boulder with a single punch for crying out loud, if she wasn't holding back then Naruto would probably be in a coma. Her punches are her way of worrying about Naruto and keep him from getting in trouble. Also I need to point out that Naruto never seems to mind getting hit and after a panel or two he's fine, usually the punches are also for comic relief. If he really hated getting punched by Sakura then he would have said something, but since he dosen't and still likes her then he really dosen't mind getting hit. Now here's what gets me, its prefectly alright for Naruto to forget all about his feelings for Sakura and suddenly fall in love with Hinata yet Sakura can't gradually lose her one sided feelings for Sasuke and turn to someone who would return her love? That seems to contradict the whole argument for NaruHina fans. I could go on but I won't. If you are a fan of Sakura or agree with what I said in this rant feel free to leave a comment, if your a Sakura hater and thus hate this rant of mine, well that's tough shit and hard cheese. If you don't like Sakura and can express the reasons you don't like her in a calm and mature manner though then also feel free to leave a comment.
