Why I Don't Like Haruno Sakura

Notes: As always, I am writing this top note just after I finished the entire note. If you like Sakura, don't read. But if you like her and has an open mind to read reasons why I don't like her, you do can read. You can even comment on things you don't agree with. But please, I am only open on creative criticisms. I do not tolerate harsh words and other character bashing. And just to inform you, while I was writing this blog, I am just on the 141th episode of Naruto. Take that into consideration while reading. Naruto and Naruto Shippuden has over 400 episodes already. So this post is from the point of view of a person just on the 141th episode. Thanks for reading in advance. God bless, people! Let's continue to show love for Naruto and Naruto Shippuden. ♥

Okay, it has been already so long since I last wrote something, right? I wasn't really planning on writing now because I am watching and planning to catch up with the latest Naruto Shippuden episode (so I watch again everything from Naruto). I was just originally planning on commenting or posting on other blogs and forums about Haruno Sakura but I couldn't find any and my blood was already boiling. I decided to write a post about her here instead.

So who is Haruno Sakura? She is one of the main characters in Naruto, the 1/3 of Team Seven and the girl Naruto likes (or loves? I really don't know and I don't really want Naruto to fall in love with her, if that didn't happen yet, that is.). It isn't just Naruto, though. Rock Lee also likes her.

She declined him, as shown above when Lee said he'd protect her with his life just cause of Lee's appearance. Well, I'll dwell on that thing later because I was just introducing her, alright?

Anyway, where am I? It wasn't just Naruto and Lee who like her. I think on some episodes with other minor characters, other guys show interest on her. So I assume that on NU (Naruto Universe), she is supposedly a very pretty girl. She has pink hair that used to be longer because it was said that Uchiha Sasuke likes girls with long hair and green eyes (which I honestly love, her green eyes, I mean). She also has a big forehead which I don't really notice, to be honest. She liked Sasuke ever since the world began for her in NU and Naruto liked her ever since his world began as well. As for Sasuke, I don't know about him if he ever liked her as much as she liked him but in their farewell scene (where Sasuke finally decided to go to Orochimaru for powers to kill his brother), Sasuke did say "Thank you." to her when she confessed how much she loved him and how far she was willing to go for him.

That was it when she tried to stop Sasuke from leaving Konoha. Unfortunately, she wasn't enough to stop Sasuke.

So why I really don't like her? Well, for some reasons I will try to explain. But let me get this straight on here, okay? It is not that I hate her. Seriously I love her green eyes. It's just that she unfortunately sucks at times, or honestly, most of the time.

1. She only sees Sasuke.

That is the main reason why I don't like her. She only sees Sasuke and I mean only here, friends. Sure, she does notice Naruto's efforts and doings from time to time but it is still all Sasuke for her. It is as if Sasuke is the only thing that matters for her in the entire NU. Doesn't she even care for her parents who raised her up? Or for Yamanaka Ino who changed her from a weak girl to a stronger person? Or for Naruto who would certainly do anything for her? Well I guess she really doesn't care about anything I've mentioned above. Not to mention leaving Konoha with Sasuke would mean betrayel for Konoha. She openly admitted it, after all. So I guess I wouldn't dwell on here much. She said when she was stopping Sasuke from leaving Konoha that if Sasuke leaves, she would be lonely even with Naruto and the others with her. I understand that she loves Sasuke because I understand, too, how much Naruto also loves her. What I don't understand about her, why is it just Sasuke, only Sasuke? Naruto loves her but she isn't just the thing important for him. Their friends are important to Naruto as well and he would also risk his lives for them. Konoha is important to Naruto as well. Loving someone to the point of throwing everything else that matters as well, would I be too much if I say that I think that is too much?

2. She takes Naruto for granted.

This particular reason is one of the reasons that really urged me to write a post about her. Naruto always saves her. He always is willing to risk his life for her and I know that even if I deny it, he loves her to the point of promising Sakura that she should mark his word because he would definitely bring Sasuke back to Konoha and save him. It really broke my heart when he said before leaving with Shikamaru, Chouji, Kiba and Akamaru, and Neji to follow and bring Sasuke back, "Sakura-chan really likes Sasuke." (It was something like that. I'm not just sure if it were the same words.) Couldn't she feel some guilt? I know Naruto himself wants to follow and save Sasuke? But isn't she being selfish when she cried and pleaded Naruto to save Sasuke and bring him back to Konoha. And I knew for a fact that she knew Naruto, if not in love, likes her very much, and then considering what Naruto said after she cried and pleaded like that. Naruto is so willing to go different lengths for her. She is thankful for Naruto, I know. But couldn't she be even gentler with him, even just the fifth of how she acts if it was towards Sasuke? On the episode I am currently watching that was the reason why I am here writing this post right now (I am not even done with that episode but my heart is really tightening and I have to write this all down.), Naruto took the blade for her. She looked thankful and all but on the next days, she's back to being rude to Naruto. I don't get it. Did she already forget the things he did for her? (I don't even take it as being cute and funny when all she do is punch or kick him.) Or is her mind just concentrated really on one person alone?

3. She is physically and emotionally weak.

I know I am being really cruel in here but this is the truth, people. To tell you the truth, I absolutely despise weak characters. I just don't enjoy maiden-in-distress themed female main characters. It is very common and it is very irritating, seriously. The reason why she is always gets and has to be saved is because she is weak. This is the main reason why I decided to write this post, by the way, friends. I was watching episode 141 yesterday and I just got so pissed when all she do was cry and get saved by Naruto because if not, she will get killed. And she isn't even trying to fight! I would have like it more (or shall I say I would don't like her less) if she just tried to standing up on her own. But no! She is just there, holding her head, looking away from the enemy's attack and getting saved. Is she crazy? Does she think someone will always be there to save her? Honestly, she is not fit to be a ninja. (At least, Hinata is trying to fight. And here comes my biasness, for that, gomen.) The only time I saw her seriously fight was when she fought Ino (but that was because of an unfinished business of the past). Other than that, it was either she is always told to just stand back and watch and guard those who needs to be protected (and the others, Naruto, Sasuke and Kakashi-san will fight) or she will fight by holding a single knife (and seriously, what can that knife do?) Well, at least she is trying, you can say that certainly. But not enough! It might be true that she is very intelligent but that still doesn't help much because she is just book-smart (unlike Shikamaru, the strategist). And the next point, she is also emotionally weak.

I think this was when Sasuke was leaving Konoha and she tried to stop him but he goes, "As always, you are so annoying." (Or something like that, I am not sure.)

This one was when Naruto and Sasuke fought on the hospital. Sasuke was using Chidori while Naruto was ready with his Rasengan. They were about to fire it at one another but she ran and tried to stop them BAREHANDEDLY. Seriously, is she on her right mind, trying to stop those powerful attacks with no weapons or techniques whatsoever. If only she is strong, but she is not. (Kakashi-san was the one who stopped those two, anyway. And I just like how Naruto said later, "Sakura-chan, don't interfere ever again.")

And this was her confession before Sasuke left Konoha. To me, it is certainly okay to cry to release your burning emotions. People cry, I know. But Sakura cries to much and for me and everyone and she herself to think that she already moved from being a crybaby was certainly an overstatement. She clearly hasn't. She still cries too much and it bugs me too much as well. The episode 141 I said I was watching, she was still crying and she wasn't doing really anything. If only she is strong physically, she wouldn't be called a burden and a hindrance that is slowing her friends always and if only she is strong emotionally, she wouldn't be worried of by her friends around her.

She could seriously stop Naruto and Sasuke in here if only she is strong. (Don't say no, people, because she can if she is just as strong willed as them and if she is just training hard like them as well. I kind of remembered Erza Scarlet of Fairy Tail with this point. She is strong. She can always be in the middle of a fighting Natsu Dragneel and Gray Fullbuster, that is if they aren't serious. I am not sure if she can still if they're fighting seriously. But still, she can.) But she isn't. So again, Naruto and Sasuke has to think of her and try to retrain both their techniques and Kakashi-san has to save her because if she got stuck in between those two attacks, if she'll not die, she'll seriously suffer great damage. And is she seriously out of her mind? Well, the bottom line here is, 'If only she is strong...' But she is not.

I wouldn't dwell on trivial reasons why others don't like her because those weren't reasons for me at all. (Just to give you a picture, others HATE her because she is ugly and has a big forehead.) Those three were the major reasons I don't like her.

(Warning: Biasness) And here comes my conclusion people:

Don't take it wrong. I didn't write this post so just I could say at the bottom that Hinata deserves to be with Naruto. This last part, as I've said and warned you, is just my biasness. From the top before this is purely from an unbiased person.

Notes: And it's finally done, people! After so many hours because I wasn't allowed to use the computer after 6pm, I finally finished this post. I think I edited this three times just so it would finish. You are welcome to comment.
