Through my Naruto Shippuden rewatch
Naruto is less annoying a bit more polite and respectful
Sakura is… well like I said not trash she genuinely does care for Naruto as seen in ep 16, the bridge encounter and during the wind style training
Sasuke is well Sasuke
Ohhh and Sai
Rewatching Naruto series and now that I’m older I’ve come to realize that younger Naruto was hella annoying 😭😭 and now that I’m watching Shippuden, Naruto has gotten a lot less annoying and Sakura was never actually trash
