FINE. I'll write a Chiyo/Sakura vs. Sasori post to understand why it has this fandom in such a chokehold.

sakura and chiyo won first place in the official poll as they should!!!!!!

#blue.txt #love this for them #that fight was honestly one of the most technically complex fights in the series #no bullshit powerups no asspulls no special powers just technical skill #my favorite fight is actually the naruto vs Sasuke valley of the end fight #but im glad sakura and chiyo are getting their appreciation too ❤️❤️ #my personality hot take is that sakura and chiyo vs sasori is what the rest of the Shippuden fights should've been like lol #and not the fucking dragon ball esque power up spam in the war arc

[rockleaves]

wait another naruto thing i hate before bed: how often people got to have cathartic conversations with their dead family members. it was cute for naruto the boy but for everyone else???? sucks. stop giving them easy answers from the dead and start forcing them to figure out how to live with it.

#t #naruto time #thinking about kakashi getting to talk to his dad’s ghost. THAT SUCKED. #like oh sakumo needed kakashi’s forgiveness before his spirit could rest? well maybe he shouldn’t have killed himself where his #FOUR YEAR OLD SON COULD FIND HIS BODY. I DON’T FEEL BAD FOR HIM!!!!!!!!! #you can imagine this is very difficult for me as someone who loves all the dead akatsuki being forcefully revived for the war #and wishes we got sakura vs sasori (+chiyo) round 2 #but that’s different. it’s more like kakashi fighting haku and zabuza again. #forcing characters to literally confront their ghosts CAN BE GOOD and even cathartic but man WORK FOR IT. don’t just play 20 questions.

Sakura Haruno Appreciation Post

Rewatching Naruto and reading the manga has made me feel like posting about one of my favorite characters in the series, Sakura. At first, nothing about her really stood out to me. She was the typical teenage girl who had a crush on a guy who really didn't seem to care about her at all. As time went on, though, small things about her stood out to me. Her affinity for genjutsu (something that I wished Kishimoto touched on more) and her chakra control was better than both Naruto's and Sasuke's, something that I wasn't expecting from her at all. It's not like she was much of a fighter at this point, and she needed protecting more often than not. Sakura's character didn't really start to peak for me until the chunin exams in the Forest Of Death. This scene in particular:

The moment she cut off her hair to free herself from Kin's grip, I knew that she meant business, that she would finally start taking her life as being a ninja more seriously. Why? Because she cut her long hair, something that she was proud of simply because she heard a rumor back when she was a little girl that said that Sasuke liked girls with long hair. Sakura was no much for the sound ninja, of course, and she's eventually bailed out by Ino and her team, and later on by Sasuke himself when he wakes up. Seeing how beat up she was because of that fight, and how she wouldn't back down because she wanted to protect her teammates no matter what, made her character grow on me.

Then we get up to the preliminary round of the chunin exams, and it's there when one of my favorite fights in the chunin exams happens: Sakura vs Ino.

This fight is where Sakura slowly starts to sprout from a bud into a fully bloomed flower. She takes her fight against Ino seriously, and gives it her all. When Ino used the mind transfer jutsu on her, I thought that that would be it for Sakura. But she managed to kick Ino out of her mind thanks to inner Sakura (another aspect of her character that I wish Kishimoto did more with, but I get why she just sorta vanishes after a while) and the match resumes between them. It ends in a tie, but it was still a really good fight regardless. It showed that Sakura really can fight if she wants too, and it put an end to her rivalry with Ino, allowing them to become friends again. After this fight I definitely had more respect for her character.

When Sasuke eventually leaves the village to join Orochimaru, Sakura felt that she was worthless because not only was she unable to do anything, but Naruto got hurt in his fight against Sasuke because of the promise he made to her to bring Sasuke back. So, she does something that I didn't expect her to do: ask Tsunade to take her on as an apprentice.

We can see how those three years of training with Tsunade paid off, since Sakura can not only stand toe to toe in a fight against Kakashi fighting alongside Naruto, she also has enough strength to take on an Akatsuki member like Sasori:

This fight definitely showed how much better as a fighter Sakura has gotten in three years. Yes, I'm well aware that Lady Chiyo helped her in this fight, but she still did an excellent job of holding her own. Aside from her physical prowess, we also see how far she's come as medical ninja as well. Going from reviving a dead fish to doing something as critical as cutting Naruto open to pump his heart in order to keep him alive during the 4th Great Ninja war:

And it's during this time that she was finally able to stand next to Naruto and Sasuke in battle, instead of always walking behind them and watching their backs get farther and farther away from her. Idk about you guys, but watching these three perform the summoning jutsu at the same time, doing their own three way deadlock like the original legendary sanin before them was so fucking badass:

We already knew that both Naruto and Sasuke had long since surpassed their masters, Jiraiya and Orochimaru. But until this moment, it was unclear if Sakura had truly surpassed Tsunade or if she was just on her level. This scene right here definitely showed that Sakura has indeed surpassed Tsunade, making her, Naruto, and Sasuke the new legendary sanin.

Watching Sakura grow throughout the series was really nice to see, not to mention inspiring for me to watch as a young girl. Her growing determination to better herself and stand the same level as her teammates is why she is and always will be one of my favorite characters in the series, if not my most favorite character.

Naruto keeps getting promoted to the top of my twitter timeline for some reason but today it seems naruto fans are in-fighting about Sakura/Chiyo vs. Sasori being one of the best fights in the entire series, and frankly it IS. I give Kishimoto a lot of shit justifiably but the dude is amazing at fight choreography and has a great sense of motion and panel flow within a fight (most 90% of the time). 

Even among all the really good fights, the sasori fight still remains uniquely original and uniquely naruto. It wasn’t the first fight with against an akatsuki member but it was the first decisive full fight with one and It was also the first time we got to actually see Sakura in action since honestly the chunin exams. 

And it might be because of the nature of puppet fights, the ability to do random bullshit, and the fact that literally every attack was drenched in poison. Kishimoto did a great job making every attack feel as lethal and cheap as possible. Fights between ninjas should feel dirty and unfair so this fight really did have a different vibe to it then many of the fights that came before it. The entire fight itself felt unmistakably miserable to be a part of which was awesome. A dire time all around and also a great reintroduction to a character that was both massively hated and loved by fans. 

It’s a shame that Kishimoto never brought this kind of Sakura energy back and frankly it’s ABSURD that he just simply never wrote her to be this cool again. Like, he proved to himself and the fans that Sakura could have great fights and to open shippudden with this kind of Sakura and almost immediately lowball her for the rest of the series after this arc is still incredibly baffling and frustrating even after so many years. 

Okay naruto talk over.

A drawing by the Boruto's drawer after the Sakura and Chiyo vs Sasori's fight has been elected as the best fight of Naruto thanks to a huge survey !

So glad that people realized Sakura's (and Chiyo's) strength ! This was a incredible fight with many reversals of situation and it shows Sakura's abilities (strength, heals, intelligence, able to dodge attacks) and her courage, willingness and determination.

Just heard on an official poll that the Sakura & Chiyo vs Sasori fight was voted the best, even above the Naruto vs Sasuke finale fight. This is ironic given how many people still diss Sakura, saying she’s useless or worthless. It’s such a shame that Kishi, disheartened by criticism against her, dropped her development and involvement significantly after this fight. Regardless of this poll, the fight always comes up as one of the best and I love it for several reasons:

A) Sakura’s development and process showcased

B) Sakura and Chiyo fighting together - any story that centres generations of women gets a thumbs up from me esp if they have a badass old lady. It’s also great because Chiyo overcomes her hatred of Konoha and dislike of Tsunade by working with her student. She’s able to use this to come to terms and defeat the familial poison that has corrupted Sasori.

C) Sasori. A powerful mastermind with an unusual technique. His battle of wits and ideals vs the two women is fantastic and not to mention that UST between him and Sakura.

D) Poignant ending and Sakura getting his acknowledgement and info on Orochimaru. It’s just sad that does give her in the dnd what she wanted re reunion with Sasuke.

E) Pacing and tactics. I love the different uses of techniques and the tension. Medical ninjutsu being used in battle is cool.
