When did it go all wrong for her?
>>140774723
The minute she was created
Her only character trait is "i love sauske even if he beats me and tries to murder me because he's cool"
When she decided to lust over emo darkbangs and not the catty blonde girl
>>140774723
She's always been a useless damselish character that is attempted to be able to keep up with her powerful friends and I have never been caught up in the romantic bullshit in this series what little there is anyways but the moment she told naruto jesus that she has feelings for him and not sasuke, I just about lost my shit and it really just made her pretty irredeemable.
When the part about her being a more skilled ninja than Naruto and Sasuke was entirely thrown out the window.
>>140774723
The EXACT moment is when she cried like a bitch for everyone else to bring Sasuke back during that recovery arc.
That moment established that she could never do anything on her own and cemented her uselessness.
>>140774723

When she was trained by the world's greatest medic to become useful on a team consisting of genius prodigies who never get injured and ninja Wolverine.
Back in the zabuza arc when she did absolutely shit and just stood around "guarding" the old guy. Then during the exam she couldn't even protect her team mates and had Rock Lee save her. Sakura was shit since day one

I wouldn't call any shitty character in Naruto realistic

I understood that. They were kids and they're friend basically ran away, but when she went back on that after naruto swore he would return sasuke. No. Fuck that. And mostly fuck Kishi for thinking that was a fine thing to do with with characters as such.
>>140774723
Nothing really. She's a female in a Kishimoto series and they are destined for the mediocre and/or mundane.

Yeah but their synergy makes no sense. It's basically 4 Taijutsu masters with not enough healing, Genjutsu, or Ninjutsu. If they come across one enemy that is extremely resistant to physical attacks they are basically fucked.
>>140774723
The moment she was created by Kishimoto in the image of his ideal teenage female, she was fucking screwed. Absolutely screwed.
A mix between Kishi's lack of writing skills and Sasusaku's huge popularity. She had to remain as Sasuke's fangirl or else a large portion of the female readership may be disappointed.
Sakura was the third wheel and she could never developed an identity outside Sasuke and the team 7
When a better Nardo girl was introduced.
>>140774723
Cuck
>>140776077
>TFW a character that could have been really ends up being nothing but a perpetual side character
see this why Im glad shows like Kenshin, Hakusho and Recca kept their casts small. Naruto and Bleach have how many characters that they don't know fuck to do with
The worst thing about her is she throws so much love to Sasuke to the point it's her entire character, yet she is very insignificant in Sasuke's life and she could never hope to sway him. He will never care about her as much about her as he does for Itachi and Naruto. She is the eternal second fiddle, the unnecessary third wheel, and she is perfectly okay with that.
While it might give the readers get second hand embarrassment, at least she seems happy with her lot in life.
after she trained with Tsunade
Kishimoto just couldn't break through the roadblock of Sasuke and Naruto with her. Her entire character revolves around them, mostly the former. She took a step in the right direction with the super strength and for a second I even thought she might start being useful, learn some taijutsu, and become a functioning member of the team. Instead she spends most of the manga doing jack shit, which is only worsened by the fact that now we KNOW she can hold her own and she just doesn't anymore, rather than her being inept like pre-timeskip.
What's wrong with naruto doujins? Only cowtits, it's unfappable
>>140774723
Do you ever see a character that you just...want to be good?
>She's decently cute (one of the few girls who's mostly slender that still gets me going)
>She's got Super strength, which is a pretty versatile power in a series where most people are simply above average.
>She's apparently really knowledgeable about ninja stuff and even knows how to heal so she should be relavent right?
>Does fuck all for 80% of the series
It's not like she's an amazing character or anything, but she had plenty of potential to at least be good that Kishimoto just chose not to pursue.
>>140774837
the thread should have ended here
>>140775008
Oh, do you take offense because she isn't doing your favorite salivating, tongue out, crying, mucus out the nose, huge slack jawed expression retards like you use for avatars? This is what we call a realis- whoops. I said the word.
>>140774723
She never was good to begin with.
>>140774837
basically this. Dude had no idea how to make her relevant beyond the initial "omg, sasuke-kun" deal. Her character doesn't do a whole lot of growth outside of a few jarringly obvious attempts to make her relevant. People like shikamaru kind of naturally become more relevant as the series goes on. Lee is relevant basically from day one as one of the strongest ninja (even though he kind of gets forgotten as of shippuden). Sakura's "development" is pretty shitty and she never really has any purpose other than the original. But I guess that still beats Naruto's continual decay as a valid character. The virtues of hard work, creativity, and becoming your own person are left behind for god bloodline ninja jesus horseshit. fuck there is a lot to hate about naruto as a story.
>>140775008
She's waiting for you to whip it out and beat it. Maybe, just MAYBE, she'll beat it for you.
She fought with her fists in a series based on giant energy blasts.
>>140780551
>>140780717
>super strength
Honestly I think that was a big part of her problem more than a solution. Sakura's super strength is impressive but, in the context of the series, it was doomed from the beginning. The storytelling problem you have with a power like superhuman strength is that the chances of you connecting a hit with a major character is inversely proportional to how many hits it will take for you to kill them. Sakura, who can kill practically anybody in the series in one hit, is therefore never going to actually hit anybody.
She would've been way better off focusing entirely on medical ninjutsu and genjutsu than gaining a power like that. Then she could have contributed to battles in a way which wouldn't remove dramatic tension or end the fight instantly in one blow.
>>140774723
Even though shes worse girl my god milf sakura looks GOAT
>>140780999
See, I didn't plan on fapping to Sakura tonight, but now I guess I have to.
>>140781076
Sakura's usefullness in battle was like a rollercoaster.
>>140781105
That's actually a fair point. If Sakura can one shot everybody then she has to always not do that in order for there to be a story. I still would've liked for them to at least give her a mix of genjutsu and her strength and have her fights play out as more of a way of her getting within range to unleash her strength than just not doing anything at all.
In the same vain I wish the Sharingan just helped people follow movements, copy things and MAYBE have a genjutsu tied to them instead of literally doing everything.
>>140781108
Clearly she's still in the afterglow after waiting all those years to get laid.
>>140781262
Jesus christ why couldn't sakura look like this in the series and do pressure point kung fu to also heal people.
>>140781076
I don't know whether to commend her for that or condemn her for being that fucking stupid of a character.
Would still do un/godly things with/to her body.
>>140781114

>>140780439
To be fair, Sakura lives on a world where Itachi is a saint and Obito is a the coolest guy so being married to Sasuke doesn't look so bad. In fact, it can viewed as an achievement
>>140780995
>tfw Sakura could be One Punch Woman
>tfw the Sannin were much better and interesting than any of the Team 7/Kakashi
Fuck this. Kakashi was good, hell, even Sai was okay because he had his past resolved fast enough with no drama bullshit. Yamato? Who? But yeah, he was fine, until forgotten.
Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura were clearly a worse version of the Sannin with emotional bullshit that took way too long to fix.
And why people enjoyed Hinata's character? Because shew grew as a character over time with no drama, from shy to a strong character.
People liked Anko, why? Because she was weird and boob fishnets.
People liked Temari, why? She was kinda strong, legs and again, no drama bullshit.
What Kishi does? "I can't write more than this, so only Sakura getting mad at Naruto and crying when Sasuke, Tsunade gets old when power up, every other girl gets either pregnant or is just there in the corner, with Bruce Lee, and Hinata's brother(that will die because someone "important" needs to die in the war thanks to the cool guy), and that dog dude, and that other bug dude. The fat guy can stay with Shikamaru"
>>140785042
>And why people enjoyed Hinata's character? Because she was a waifu character
FTFY
>>140774723
>She
Right there, that's how Naruto works.
>>140776023
She should have learned the Gates FROM them so she had her own cool jutsu to use in action scenes.
>>140780495
this, sakura should have trained with kurenai
>>140785291
Unfortunately, Kishi was autistic for muh Team 7. You know, poetry
>>140774723
Honestly? Probably from the beginning.
The fact that she had no unique skills to put her above the others in one way (in a way that matters in a shonen manga, I don't care what her score is or whatever) or another always meant that she was behind from the start.
Add that the story focused exclusively on Naruto/Sasuke's dynamic, and you've got a mess on your hands.
And THEN when you add the fact that she's in love with Sasuke, no matter what happens, then you've got a really messed up character.
>>140781105
Incorrect in this case thought, because Naruto is loaded with drama preservation mechanics. Reality warping and regeneration on the high end, clones and substitutions on the low end. Sakura could have crunched a character in every panel she appeared in and at any time you could legitimately retcon it to have been a body double or a genjutsu or some other horseshit.
>>140785042
Technically, Jiraiya and the co were supposed to be failed versions of the characters from The Tale of Jiraiya the gallant and Naruto and co were supposed to fix the mistakes of the past generation. In the original novel, Jiraiya married Tsunade and defeated his rival Orochimaru, the latter means talk-no-jutsu under the Narutoverse standards. Except Naruto and co look like the failures for being so badly written.
>>140785042
Sai was just as shit as Yamato, he exists only to serve as exposition on Danzo.

>>140785820
She would destroy your penis with her Ape-like strength.Hot
>>140785938
Well worth it. Especially when she uses both hands.
>>140785856
stop framing the seventh into this, Lee.
Kishi had so many chances to improve her character but he just went for the cop-outs??
Her only real development was that she was a lesser version of Tsunade. Even though he claims that team 7 are now stronger than the sannin no on believes Sakura is stronger than Tsunade.
Also wasn't it fucking hypocritical to claim Naruto only loved her because of his rivalry with Sasuke, but then the same could be said about her love for Sauce and her rivalry with Ino???? Did no creating the movie think through?
>>140774723
She's called Sakura
all that really matters in naruto now is more vanilla between naruto and hinata
Kishimoto's Sakura is just a glaring example of the problem a lot of amateurish Japanese writers have when trying to write female characters and they come off as seemingly written by a teenager who only thinks of them as tokens, and they constantly fail the Bechdel test because a girl character always has to be tagged along to a male character in some way, instead of be more independent of that kind of thing. The sad thing is, they don't see why this is such beginner level writing, and pass it off as "that's just what girls do".
That's just something true scotsmen do.
>>140774723
does she even have parents or family? because everyone in manga has relatives but we don´t know anything about her
>>140785981
Couldn't help myself.
>>140780353
Still banking on Tatsuki being relevant by end game bleach and maybe winning the ichibowl
Honestly, its just because she stayed as a ninja; while every one else became mountain destroying, powerlevel boasting, talk no jutsu users. She's a relic from what the series used to be about: Chakra use, technique, known jutsus etc etc.
Yamato himself even pointed out the exact moment when the series changed and started going downhill fast, during orochimaru vs 4-tail nardo when he said "this isn't a battle between ninja, its a battle between monsters".
>>140780684
Lack of good artists. Naruho-do can't draw for shit, Sahara settled into his thick mode and fanfiction story, Tao barely ever does anything.
>>140786789
Kishi did create her parents for the RtN movie. You can see where Sakura gets her quality genes from.
>>140787423
Literally the only thing she seems to inherited from them is her outfit.
She fell under the bad writing of Kishimoto just as a lot of other female characters also fell under. For me I just don't feel any attachment towards any of the Naruto characters anymore.
Hinata character development was thrown out of the window with the only purpose of her being used as a Vehicle for the next gen. She doesn't have much towards her character to lend back upon except she is the mother of Naruto kids. Sakura even through I used to hate her a lot at least has healing and taijitsu to back her up on character relevance besides for breeding Sasuke kid. Plus, we actually see her hanging out with others which is nice character development compared to Hinata who don't see really talking to anyone in Boruto.
>>140787283
>Stayed a ninja
She was worthless as a character. Her character was an obnoxious, shallow, vapid, narcissistic cunt who was a burden to everyone around her. I guess this is what kishimoto considers prime marriage material because even after all the shit sasuke did to her. Even after the attempted murder the hatred, everything. They still got married for no reason.
Sasuke, Naruto and sakura are everything wrong with the series. But especially sakura. Don't give me that bullshit, the series was changing. She was worthless because kishmoto didn't care.
However, everything about her was awful.
>>140787543
Her mom's a shouty cunt as well.
>>140787543
And their civilian genes and pink hair. If Sakura doesn't use her jutsu the way Tsunade does she is gonna age like her mom too.
>>140787423
Boy, remember when narusaku fags were using her dad's hair as a proof that Boruto is her son? Good times.
>>140787423
what the fuck
>>140774723
when Shitnata got in the way, she was made fodder for sasuke.
>>140787671
>People ship sakura with something other than her and a faceless mob for public use
Why she didn't even deserve sasuke. And sasuke was a piece of shit who should have died.
Believe me, Sakura's days are numbered. Sasuke is planning on killing her just to get some long overdo attention from Naruto.
I want to breed Sakura.
>>140787626
>civilian genes
I refuse to believe Sakura's parents were not competent ninja. How else would she have gotten perfect chakra control? Unless her parents were complete retards, chakra control seems genetic as even Sarada inherited the chakra control to use the same jutsus as her mom.
Sakura was never a normal girl. Especially because the series made it seem like not just anybody could learn Tsunade's techniques, even Shizune the jounin could not master her techniques.
Honestly Sakura learning thise techniques at such a young age seems like such an asspull, especially after saying her parents were just civilians. How would civilians inherit perfect chakra control?

even after he joins an enemy ninja village that crippled her homeland and allies himself with Akatsuki. Even Ino realized Sasuke is too crazy to handle.

When she bitched about her annoying parents to a fucking orphan in chapter 3. She almost redeemed herself a few times but it was always a case of 1 step forwards, 2 step backwards into a ditch.

It just occured to me that once you become an Uchiha, your hair would soon part in the middle like the clan's trademark hairstyle.
>>140796378
And even if Sasuke wasn't an orphan, any sane person would go "wtf" if someone told them a 13 year old kid were lucky to have dead parents. It's a perfect example of what she is through the entire series: self involved, shallow and stupid.
>>140796569

I think the rivalry thing was a Kishi's attempt to not make Naruto look like a loser. You know, unable to break the cycle of friendzoning like his master Jiraiya. The waifufags see Hinata as superior on every way to Sakura but Kishi is an egomaniac so he can't conceive his self-insert to be rejected. It's kinda like a rationalization (it's not like I actually like that bitch), sour grapes
>>140787724
Because Sakura was the female lead, for better or worse, so the female readership self-inser as her and they want to marry Sasuke. Sasusaku is huge on nipland and the west, Even now, Sasusaku doubles Naruhina's fanworks on pixiv.
Remember, all fujoshis are female otakus but not all female otakus are fujoshis. Besides, Naruto is a normalfag thing. There are many girls into shoujoshit who read Naruto
>>140798307
Kishi didn't really write the Last but I think it was more about trying to pretend that NS was never a thing even when Nardo did have a small shallow crush on Sakura at some point.
But instead of just acknowledging it as such, they decide to do more stupid retcons instead, not to mention that the rivalry thing just makes it look like Naruto was in love with Sasuke all along.

>>140798938
Because her sole purpose in life was to lust after Naruto's dick
>>140799060
Eh at least she was attracted to someone that was a decent human being because he inspired her to be determined like he was, instead of being a wannabe-beaten spouse only attracted to the guy because he's pretty and everyone in the class idolized him even after everyone has gotten sick of his shit.

Oh and she tried to save Narutos life knowing full well she would die for it. In the end they both got their husbando but by very different means. Sakura got hers by begging, Hinata got hers by becoming someone Naruto can rely on when he's at his lowest point.
>>140774723
Kishimoto hated sakura Hinata would have been the main female but kishi's editor forced him to make sakura and sasuke who he later got interested in
>>140804093
No, Hinata got hers thanks to getting kidnapped, a genjutsu and Sakura giving him a pet talk.
>>140804231
Not really, editor just told him to add a rival and a girl.
>>140774837
I mean, yeah. No one can't really argue against that.
From birth really. In a series where pedigree determines your career path, Sakura's parents are filler and her mentor is the series' greatest jobber.
>>140780835
Wut
>>140804499
>her mentor is the series' greatest jobber.
But Tsunade won a fight against Orochimaru. Greatest jobber would be Kiba, Tenten or Hinata.
>>140804499
So many Unfortunate Implications in Naruto.
>>140803797
how about Kurapika? Alluka? Neferpitou?
I was hoping that we would see more of the original Naruto girls as christmas cakes in the upcoming Boruto spin-off, especially Hinata. But after seeing that art style, my interest in it completely vanished.
>>140774723
>When did it go all wrong for her?

Unless the series is going to be about house cleaning, they were never going to do much

After Zabuza, did ninja weapons ever kill anyone?
>>140804401
The denial is strong in you.
>>140805368
Somewhere after the chunin exams it really went downhill from there. When she found out that it was Naruto and not Sasuke that saved her from Gaara her descent into madness truly started.
>>140805390
>Unless the series is going to be about house cleaning
Would be better than that little shit Boruto.

Ino is a miracle of the universe.
So did we learn why Itachi beat the shit out of his little brother and mindraped him?
>>140806430
I love Ino!!!!!!

/thread
>>140806500
Itachi is a fucking idiot.
>>140806572
I could have told you that.
>>140806500
Bad writing
>>140774837
This as well as the minute Hinata was introduced.
>>140806778
Now there's a anon with good taste.
>>140780717
Not only that there was real potential for some good character development and growth. She didn't even need to be super relevant in fights, what she did need is for her and Ino to repair their friendship properly and for her to give up on Sasuke completely. Sakura becomes a much better character in that situation.
>>140797097
A negative times a negative makes a positive!
>>140806957
But giving up on Sasuke was always shown to be a bad thing.
Just look at Naruto.
>>140806979
Makes you wonder what kind of kids would be churned out if some of the parents were mixed around. Would they be like Boruto, or would they result in another Sarada?
>>140807390
Bort and Salad would remain the same no matter who their moms are.
Actual best girl coming through

Let's be honest, all teams besides team Asuma were suffering from overspecialization and teachers incapable of making something out of the composites of their teams.
Team Kurenai
>Leader is Genjutsu expert in a team where nobody is using genjutsu
>All 3 members are specialized in tracking in various ways
Team Gai
>Leader cares almost only about the one member who uses his style,
>Doesn't try to make a team out of barely-graduate, weapon using girl without teaching her anything else, and broody loner with incredible skill
>No sensor or medic in the team, so if something goes wrong, it goes wrong completely
Team Kakashi
>Leader never lead a team before, which made him incapable of managing 3 students and teaching them anything
>Girl that doesn't care about ninja stuff, more interested in boys and looks, although she's talented in chakra control. Never gets any help with her genjutsu skills potential
>Talented loner that can't cooperate.
>Loud, intellectually dumb, but strategically witty brat that needs some guidance.
Team Asuma
>Leader does his best to do team bonding meetings, though many-generational friendship between Clans helps
>Talented girl (overall highest Academy scores, even if in nin-tai-gen Sasuke was better, though she had cooperation skills) from a Clan with Sensor-types, learned medical jutsus later.
>Intelligent guy who makes strategies and helps setting up the traps.
>Strong, but not confident, muscle guy.
That being said, Naruto not knowing his affinity and even one Fuuton jutsu or how to use Kage Bunshins for recon is pure plot stupidity.
>>140806957
The editor wouldn't allow it.
>>140774933
>She's always been a useless damselish character that is attempted to be able to keep up with her powerful friends
How many times did she make a "I'm finally strong enough to keep up with Naruto ans Sasuke" speech, only to have to be saved by either Naruto or Sasuke (or Naruto from Sasuke) within pages, or sometimes panels of making that speech?
There was at least 3. One of them was in the final arc against bunny milf just after revealing that she'd learned the Tsunade chakra forehead diamond, and she had to get saved by Naruto literally the very next panel after making her "I don't have to rely on those two to save me anymore" speech. In any other manga, I'd assume that to be an attempt at humor, but given Kishi's track record with her character, I'm don't even think the irony occurred to him. Wait, is that irony? I don't even know anymore. You get my point though. which is...
At any point that her character might have been made relevant or began an actual character arc, it was immediately stomped out. She's one of the three primary characters in a show that thrived on character development (at least in it's first half), and throughout the course of 700 manga chapter, she gets less character development than most of the secondary and even tertiary characters. It's like Kishi just put her on the team because he knew he needed a girl on the team and was going to develop her character later, then never got around to it.
>>140809392
Tumblrites seem to be OK with that. To be fair, they need to fanwank over sakura because she's their self-insert to fuck the sauce
>>140799431
She did speak to him when they first met.
>>140809796
Another retcon from The Last.
>>140787283
>Yamato himself even pointed out the exact moment when the series changed and started going downhill fast, during orochimaru vs 4-tail nardo when he said "this isn't a battle between ninja, its a battle between monsters".
Series were long past that point, because it actually happened when Itachi brought Ultimate Genjutsu and Ultimate (Katon) Ninjutsu to the table.
>Itachi's favourite sentence is "Every jutsu has its weakness"
>He kept bringing unbeatable jutsus to the table, especially Totsuka Sword and Yata Mirror
>>140799060
>>140798938
Sakura's attraction to Sasuke was nothing more than a childish crush based off physical attraction. Naruto got over his childish crush for Sakura but Sakura never got over her's for Sasuke. Hinata liked Naruto for who he was and got wet for him long before the became a hero.
>>140810086
>Naruto got over his childish crush for Sakura
It was retconned into a rivalry with sasugay. Yeah, that was fucking stupid.
>but Sakura never got over her's for Sasuke
In-universe, Sakura's crush for Sasuke evolved into the most beautiful love on some shit Kakashi said
>>140810086
>>140810208
Also, Sakura compared her love to the sauce to Hinata's love to Naruto and we all know Sakura is suddenly a love expert on The Last
>>140774723
She has only one redeeming aspect.
>>140775427
>Useless

Sharingan is equivalent of brain cancer, and Mangekyo is a rapid growth of it. Adding another Mangekyo is the only way to make the size back to manageable proportions (read: not pushing on optic nerves that leads to impaired eyesight).
>Itachi had supposedly "Hokage level wisdom" at age of 7
>At age of 8 or something, he had mastered his Sharingan
>3 tomoe = intellectual growth of an Uchiha is stopped
>Mangekyo = Uchiha starts slowly getting blind by using its abilities, and at the same time grows more and more retarded
>Eternal Mangekyo brings back to the state of awakening Mangekyo in terms of thinking capabilities
>>140785741
That's actually not a bad idea. Of course we could've had sakura re written as hinata which would be fine imo.
>>140808640
>overall highest Academy scores,
>>140796187
Everyone in Naruto was dead inside by this point. I think it was a reflection of Kishi's mental state due to cranking out shitty chapters.
>>140810751
Sasuke was best in Nin-Tai-Gen stuff.
Ino was second in that. And she had great teamwork score. Ergo: highest overall score.
>>140774723
>Didn't even obtain massive tits like Tsunade
Worst apprentice ever
>>140810794
Then why does Iruka outright state in the fucking manga that Sasuke had the best overall grades?
>>140808640
That's unfair, team ten are genetically predisposed to work together.
A Chouji flashback states that members from their clans have always worked together under the tutelage of a Sarutobi from the beginning of the village's history.
Though I guess that Hiruzen got out of being stuck with a second rate team and picked the biggest geniuses of the era for his team.
>>140809392
I believe the editor wanted a girl to be on the team when the manga first started. This is just speculation but it wouldn't surprise me if he still has some resentment about that so she never got any character development.
>>140809903
Or just that Naruto didn't remember it until then. The manga was almost entirely from his perspective outside of when somebody else had a fight.
>>140810208
I know reading between the lines is hard but this is chapter 3 and anyone that paid attention knew where the crush came from.
>>140810831
>According to the first Naruto fanbook, Ino had the best overall grades in the Academy. She had the highest grade in assertiveness and the second-highest grade in ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, cooperation, and class attitude, being beat by Sasuke in ninjutsu, taijutsu and genjutsu. However, in chapter 3, Iruka states that Sasuke's grades were first among all 27 graduates.
Fanbooks are authorized by Kishimoto, which would make this his earliest example of contradictions.
Then again, teams are almost always 2 males, 1 female, Sakura was middle score, and Ino had to be in Ino-Shika-Cho, so the only person who could balance Naruto's dead lastness was Sasuke with his highest score among males.
>>140810927
I guess it was an alliance with some influence from Sarutobi that spans back till times predating formations of villages.
Which makes Shimura Clan being rivals of Sarutobi Clan harder to grasp, as they would have to face 4 Clans, unless they had allies of their own.
Then again, Uchiha Clan apparently was allied with Hagoromo Clan against the Senju Clan.
Remainder that Hinata kept her hair short back in the day, because other girls had long hair due to rumors that Sasuke likes long haired girls.

Sannin Gaiden when?
>>140812551
It does but they have a metropolis at this point in the timeline. Vacuums arent very weird at this point
>>140811759
>Shimura Clan being rivals of Sarutobi Clan
I don't think the clans were ever rivals outside of Hiruzen and Danzo.
The only real mention of their history is that they both joined the village at the same time, were strong enough for Madara to be impressed by them wanting to join the Senju/Uchiha marriage and that the Nara, the Yamanaka and the Akimichi are all the Sarutobi's bitch boys.
>>140803413
>how ugly he was before the time skip.
Naruto was decent looking before the skip. It's just the expressions on his face made him look like a fucking retard.
>>140774723
why is milf sakura so sexy and desirable?

Because Sasuke is never home.
