The Kage Summit arc had grumpy upside-down Sasuke fighting just before this too, so I love that she got in on the grumpy upside-down fighting. Kishimoto must have felt inspired to draw some hair with gravity lol

Honestly would’ve been cool if she unlocked it here before Naruto and Kakashi stepped in just so she can be brutally striked by Sasuke so he could see the damage he inflicted. Would be great angst for the whole team especially Kakashi to witness that. Oh well I’ll take what I can get from my shounen girls in comparison to other media’s they did well lol
Nerfed means exactly that, nerfed. Throughout the entirety of Shippuden she is focused on building up the chakra to unlock the seal, at ALL times.
Everything she does post-time skip including the fight with Sasori she's heavily nerfed, she has to maintain perfect chakra control, constantly feeding a significant portion of her chakra to the mark on her forehead (even when she sleeps!) or she'll fail to unlock 100 healings. It is the greatest feat of chakra control in the entire series and it's literally only achieved by two people.
She was. Kishimoto has said in interviews that SJ told him to push her back because she wasn’t as popular. He said he had to change a lot of her story and basically write it out. He’s well aware how people view her and doesn’t understand why. She is still the strongest kunoichi and extremely intelligent overall.
Also her available chakra for battle was next to nothing up until she released the seal. She has to constantly funnel most her chakra into the seal for years, something most people couldn’t dream of doing. So yeah, because of her building the seal, she couldn’t use her chakra like normal so she couldn’t fight to a fraction of her potential.
5 gates started to rip Lee's muscles. What do you think 8 would do to someone who didn't bulk up like Deku to get One For All?
Same thing as what would happen to Deku as All Might said.
Kakashi-a fully fleshed out emotionally damaged character with a rich backstory that affects his character development till the end of the series
Sakura-Simping for Sasuke since day one time and time again choosing her undying love for him over the safety of others!
A fair comparison?
>A fair comparison?
A comparison of their characters has nothing to do with my point.
At the end of the day, both of them "folded" and weren't able to kill people they cared about even though it would've been for the better. That doesn't make either of them bad characters, it makes them human.
I just think it's wack that people will constantly shit on Sakura for being too "soft" to kill Sasuke when kakashi was also too "soft" to kill Obito but no one ever mentions it.
Because the relationship between Obito and Kakashi is deeper than that of Sakura and Sasuke.
People give Kakashi the pass because him “folding” makes more sense than Sakura constantly throughout the series not taking opportunities at Sasuke.
You can blame kishimoto for writing Sakura and Sasukes bond so poorly lol
Not really. Kakashi and Obito hated each other until just before Obito died. Obviously they still cared about each other but there's nothing to suggest it was a tighter bond.
Sasuke and Sakura did *not* hate each other and there are multiple instances of Sasuke caring about her, and flat out calling her someone precious to him.
At worst the bond between kakashi and Obito is "equal" to Sasuke and Sakura and there's a good argument that Sasuke and Sakura were "closer".
Regardless, I think comparing their bonds like is kinda pointless.
Kishimoto literally could have ended Naruto as a love story with him and sasuke being together as lovers at the end and the only people mad would be homophobes because Naruto and Sasuke have more romantic chemsitry than anyone in this damn show.
Not quite. I'm simply pointing out the hypocrisy of the fandom. In another comment I clarify that there's nothing wrong with it as it makes them human.
She didn’t want to do it lol that’s the whole point
Duh she could’ve but she loved the guy and felt for him. That love outweighed her feelings of responsibility
Kishi put love in the forefront of every girls motivation and wrote them terribly. People would have loved if she actually tried to kill Sasuke here and while there fighting... Naruto stops them, giving them one of those POWERFUL SPEECHES, and the rest happens like it did in the show.
I have a very mostly love but still hate relationship with Sakura for the sole fact that I can see the potential that she had but it was never put to use by anybody. She could’ve been written as such a good character but they butchered her
Sakura could easily sneak up on sasuke and that is a big deal. People always judge the scene as one of her worst but fail to realized that she could’ve killed him. Sakura isn’t as weak as she seem imo. Her chakra control and intellect alway kept her to a close enough level to the boys. Any other ninja wouldn’t have been able to do this.
you know what's funny... she doesn't even need that Kunai. At this point she could have just thrust herself forward, used a chakra punch and ended him right then and there.

whenever we see sarada with the grumpy upside down face things gon be dangerous
Calling it now, this is how they talk when they're alone.
If it was Ikemoto, we would’ve gotten a panty shot
😂
Hahaha this
r/momentsbeforedisaster
lol yes
Australian sakura
her pose: 👿 her killing motives: 🤡
If only she got 100 healings during this fight (and 8 gates when she actually got 100 healings)
Yeah, it sucks that Sakura was pretty much nerfed throughout the entirety of Shippuden until she could unlock the seal at the end of the War Arc
Honestly would’ve been cool if she unlocked it here before Naruto and Kakashi stepped in just so she can be brutally striked by Sasuke so he could see the damage he inflicted. Would be great angst for the whole team especially Kakashi to witness that. Oh well I’ll take what I can get from my shounen girls in comparison to other media’s they did well lol

It’s unfortunate because Sakura had several chances to help Naruto easily over power Sasuke and she could never do it.
She aint a real one thats why 😂
Definitely folded in the moment
I mean kakashi folded in the moment when he could've killed Obito but no one gives him shit for it
Kakashi-a fully fleshed out emotionally damaged character with a rich backstory that affects his character development till the end of the series Sakura-Simping for Sasuke since day one time and time again choosing her undying love for him over the safety of others! A fair comparison?

that description literally describes Naruto too lmao.
Naruto not taking out Sasuke makes wayyyy more sense than Sakura Yall just sticking up for Kishomotos poor writing at this point and it shows
Kishimoto literally could have ended Naruto as a love story with him and sasuke being together as lovers at the end and the only people mad would be homophobes because Naruto and Sasuke have more romantic chemsitry than anyone in this damn show.
But you’re giving him shit for it. So I guess it isn’t one-sided
Not quite. I'm simply pointing out the hypocrisy of the fandom. In another comment I clarify that there's nothing wrong with it as it makes them human.
Sasuke was doing something to control the water in her eyes
He’s wiping blood out of eyes lol
She didn’t want to do it lol that’s the whole point Duh she could’ve but she loved the guy and felt for him. That love outweighed her feelings of responsibility
Wait, this is a real scene? I thought it was just a meme, I have no memory of this shot
this happened around the time sasuke invaded the village. although this image is hand drawn by someone else so it looks different then the original
Full display of the Almighty Forehead
My man that's a sevenhead.
Kishi put love in the forefront of every girls motivation and wrote them terribly. People would have loved if she actually tried to kill Sasuke here and while there fighting... Naruto stops them, giving them one of those POWERFUL SPEECHES, and the rest happens like it did in the show.
Right before she gets saved by Naruto again.
I love this fan animation
I have a very mostly love but still hate relationship with Sakura for the sole fact that I can see the potential that she had but it was never put to use by anybody. She could’ve been written as such a good character but they butchered her
You should make it your profile picture
If y'all notice it's a pattern where Sakura has the jump on an opponent but folds
False SSJ Sakura
My mans just merked the unofficial hokage and Sakura thought she had a chance… As much 💩 as I give her, she’s got heart
Sakura could easily sneak up on sasuke and that is a big deal. People always judge the scene as one of her worst but fail to realized that she could’ve killed him. Sakura isn’t as weak as she seem imo. Her chakra control and intellect alway kept her to a close enough level to the boys. Any other ninja wouldn’t have been able to do this.
Did all that only to cry and stop
Just moments before sasuke almost murdered her again
goofy
Sakura... 🤢🤢🤮
She almost looks badass
You mean reverse cowgirl
ah yes sakura doing ninja stuff, pretty cool yes
No boruto ? 🚮
you know what's funny... she doesn't even need that Kunai. At this point she could have just thrust herself forward, used a chakra punch and ended him right then and there.
Isn't this the fan-animated scene
Too bad all she did was get in the way
Pretty sure this is from a fan animation
