ok in my opinion, many things are wrong with the idea that sakura viewed sasuke only as a prize to be won to boost her self-worth; that when it comes to sasuke, she's forever frozen in time as a 12-year-old girl who can't see beyond his good hair and great grades. this post is my attempt at thoroughly unpacking and refuting that notion
#as someone who ships SS in part 1 and NS in part 2 I agree with each and every word#naruto meta#character analysis#sasusaku#half of the readers have low reading comprehension skills to understand why Sakura did what she did#when people claim sakura had rivalry with ino over a boy when its explicitly stated otherwise#both ino and sakura gave no damn about sasuke and just wanted an excuse to stand next to each other#I'm saying this as a narusaku fan#sasuke didnt see her through rose tinted glasses he saw her weaknesses strengths and even picked on her emotions#sasuke and ino were pivotal in development of part 1 sakura
