*rant rant rant, the only person making you read further than this point is yourself! XO)
if some bits look odd, bear in mind i had to go through hell to hide some of the text in this. xD Also if i dont reply to any comments and disappear for like a year or something, im not ignoring you, my PC is dying and may give out at any day now. O_O
I wanted to do something a bit emotional with her, Ive covered her strengths and her situations and now I wanted to move on to the more personal side of this character, specifically her perception of the two boys past and present aswell as her increasing motivation to better herself to simply be of use to them. Please, please leave your angry pairing comments aside if you've stumbled across this. Both boys were given equal amounts of screen time in this so as not to make it look biased, but if you see more than the other, thats your problem, not mine. I think Sakura loves them both very deeply but romance is inconsequential to the story right now. Her crush on Sasuke has been outgrown/put aside for what i believe are much more powerful feelings both as a friend and a companion.
I wanted to show her on the outside of this three sided raltionship, more post than pre shippuuden. I think if you hate her, even after Masashi has explicity shown us what a fantastic and credible character she is becoming, the best way to understand her is by seeing what goes on in her head.
What you'll see, if you just take a minute to really look at her is a young woman that has reached the turning point of her life. She's devoted every ounce of strength she has in to keeping Naruto together and trying to find Sasuke and you can tell its tearing her apart but she still carries on. Becoming Tsunade's pupil is not a task one undertakes lightly and it wasnt a decision she made on a whim just to become better than Ino. No, i dont care what your friend says, she didn't train with Tsunade to be better than Ino. Ino is just there, Sakura has her own life.
She's gone through several stages of resolve from simply wanting to be less of a burden to the boys to deciding to single handedly bring Sasuke back by herself if thats what it would take for Naruto to stop falling apart. I think it takes an incredibly admirable character to see the crap Naruto and Sasuke have been through and not only stick around them, but love them, unconditionally no matter what they say or do. I love this role Masashi has written her in to, almost like a mother, a sister and a companion to them both and its something they both have gone through most of their lives without.
She is very flawed indeed, she has a lot of bad points, just like all of us but in contrast to the majority of characters in Naruto who all appear to have gotten incredible powers obvious or otherwise, from their familys blood line, Sakura is a testament to the will power of real people. She decided what she needed to do and she stuck at it, even though she was scared and it wasnt the direction she intended for her life, she was prepared to change it because she cares. As always i dont ask that suddenly, everyone has to like her but i just hope that you'll look at her a bit closer and realize that theres actually not much there to hate anymore. :D
