@no_credentials_@paulcarnap@JKopsaa@Libansthoughts Naruto isn't supposed to be vengeful, the whole point is that he was saved from being that way by Iruka and later Team 7.
Naruto was one bad night away from going down that path the night Mizuki exposed the truth.
@AdolphsonFalkk The irony being that you are also making stuff up to mad over, because where have you gotten the idea that men who confess to their female friends don't value you as a human.
You are assuming they only ever saw you as dating material or as a body to sleep with.
@saku_sara_sasu The promo could've made a indirect reference to Ino, who we know exists in the story at this point, just as it does for Itachi in Sasuke's description.
@saku_sara_sasu The problem is Sakura's description is about how she feels about the boys on her team. None of it is actually about HER.
Naruto's tells us he's an attention seeker looking to be Hokage, and Sasuke's tells us he has a vendetta against someone who wronged him.
@saku_sara_sasu Sakura's, on the other hand, just says she has a crush on Sasuke and that Naruto likes her and she picks on him for it.
Again, notice how Naruto's and Sasuke's descriptions don't mention anyone else by name? The issue is Sakura being poorly developed in general early on.
@J0hnnyStar To answer your question, yes. People think every statement by a character is meant to be a correct observation.
That's why people think Sasuke shouldnt have been able to survive the fight with Deidara. Because Deidara said Sasuke's chakra "Took a huge hit".
@no_credentials_@paulcarnap@JKopsaa@Libansthoughts I'm confused by your point here.
Are you upset that Naruto was able to rise above the hatred he felt? Because that's the whole point, Naruto is unique in that he was able to overcome the cycle of violence and help other people who went down it.
@Rasengasm Also Hinata as well even though she only looked at Naruto from a distance.
Plus, when Naruto is telling Gaara about the people who saved him from lonliness he thinks about Team 7 and Iruka and NOT Shikamaru.
@Rasengasm By the time Shikamaru started actually respecting Naruto he'd already been acknowledged by Iruka, Konohamaru, Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura.
Shikamaru is AT MOST the 6th person to view Naruto for the person he is, and even Jiraiya, Neji, Kiba, and Tsunade are up there too.
@cultofsasuke Hell.
Orochimaru himself recognized that Sasuke was being positively influenced by Naruto and wanted Kabuto to abduct him so that he could stamp that out.
@cultofsasuke This should be clear but people who claim to love Naruto have a hard time reading it. Sasuke hit the jets out of the village thinking about the fact that Itachi was after Naruto and he swore to not let that happen.
Early pre-time skip Sasuke was actually well adjusted to Team 7
@BasedFrosch@IdkNtm1 Yeah I don't think they understand.
If they're genuinely only trying to have sex no one is spending more than a week tops on you. In a year or two's time they could've shot their shot at over 100 other women.
@IdkNtm1 Almost every non-familial relationship you experience begins as platonic. Most marriages happen between two people who were friends first.
Also, it most likely wasn't sudden, the person who confesses likely held those feelings for a lot longer than the receiver knows.
