“My love for a character that I was constantly told was weak has been proven right over the past 10 years.”
(Auto-translated from Japanese)
My Story
I have liked sakura since I was in elementary school. But my friends around me said "Sakura is useless, isn't it?" and there was an air of not being able to say I liked her. There was a time when I hid the fact that I liked Sakura because there were so many "Sakura-antis" on fan site forums. After entering Shippuden, Sakura changed. Not just chasing Sasuke, but supporting him on the battlefield with medical ninjutsu, and facing Sasuke in the Gokagekai Arc. The moment I realized that the character who had always been called "weak" had actually grown more than anyone else, something I had been suppressing for a long time overflowed. I was glad I liked her then. Sakura was not weak. I think the manga taught me that I should have trusted my own senses rather than the evaluations of those around me. Even now, my favorite character is Sakura.
Favorite scene / line
The scene where Sakura stands alone in front of Sasuke in the Great War Arc. She says in the past tense, "I loved you. Rather than growth, there was the beauty of a breakup.
Stories I'd love to see
I would like to read a spin-off with Sakura as the main character. The daily life of supporting the village as the leading expert in medical ninjutsu and her face as a mother. I would like you to carefully depict how she spends her days without Sasuke.
