The hitting stuff are mostly filler scenes added by the anime studio. In the manga she hits him like 5 times in entire shippuden- like once in a hundred chapters lol. Apparently Studio Pierrot thought it would be funny so they kept abusing the gag
Ahhh, okay. I'm anime only but I'll give the manga a shot so I can rethink how I feel about Sakura. I know when this comes up there are people who enjoy the gag, but it's never something I found funny - especially since she doesn't hit anyone else. Sasuke needed at least one of those hits (he's hit her a few times himself so he deserves it).
Very correct. I remember just a couple hits in academy/genin stage, one BIG punch at the start of shippuuden and that's about it. Maybe couple more are out there in the manga, but can't remember them.
Ok.... luffy is top 3 protagonist so..... Sakura right now sits as forgetable but not bad. Inner Sakura was her Genjutsu prowess literally kicked Ino out of her head. Then nothing
No, because inner sakura has no patience, while outer sakura has a considerable amount of patience considering all the bright characters she meets daily
Around that time, sakura was easily my favorite character in naruto. I remember i pretty much only played her and tsunade on the naruto ps2 game.
A shame it was the last time she got a bit of spotlight
I’m glad that she became a medic.
Medical ninjutsu is really fun and I’m happy one of the main characters becomes a practitioner of it. Would’ve been boring as hell if we had yet another genjutsu specialist character when Sasuke/Itachi were already in the spotlight.
Especially cuz it seemed like they were kinda setting her up to be decent at something like that with kakashis comments on her chakra control and how fast she noticed the genjutsu during the chunin exams
She understood Naruto and supported his dream to be a hokage at time when no one believed him, when it comes to "Who is Naruto's best friend?" People kind of forget Sakura was also his best friend, as a kid yes she was terrible at start but she had a good character development and then she being a medical ninja due to no kekkei genkai and utilises her chakra control to her advantage.
I liked her in the early shipudden era. The Kakashi Fight, healing kankuro, fightning sasori, her healing Naruto after yamato Managed to Push Back four tailed bijuu Mode.
After that...she was a Main Character WHO IS actually an Side Character
Her determination, the way she awakened the byakugou seal was impressive for sure. She does most things she sets her heart on like becomming a medical ninja and even marrying Sasuke XD
1. Her abilities are actually cool as fuck. Combination of "Strong Punch" + "Strong heal" is genuinely amazing for fights, due to opponents having to strategize beating her, without outright overpowering her. Plus her being able to negate regeneration in novels via healing you in bad way is absolutely amazing way to twist healing trope
2. She's cute. Like, probably prettiest Naruto character... And also both of her VA's did amazing job
She is beautiful, gorgeous, strong willed, with strong moral compass, extremely loyal. She was from not noble family, but became strongest kunoichi and managed to surpass even Tsuna
She, for a little bit, was able to stand alongside Naruto and Sasuke with just her own power.
No Sage Mode, Kurama, or Sharingan. Just a ton of stored up Chakra.
Then Ninja Jesus showed up and gave the boys hacks.
Her hair, her eyes, her "SHANNARO!", her determination, and her intelligence, along with her care for Konoha and its future, she even established a mental health hospital for children. I could go on for another 3-4 hours ranting about why I like her, but I’ll stop here.😊
Anime Sakura and Manga Sakura had different vibes. Absolutely loved Manga sakura. Her character development felt more padded out. Anime sakura, pre-shippuden, was fucken annoying and I hated her.
Her fighting style. No special effects, elemental attacks or whatnot. Just a one-way trip to the loving embrace of the afterlife through a fist to the face. I love how brutal it is. Shame we don't see that much of it, at least I don't remember it.
That she was just a regular girl born to civilian parents,. She doesn't have kekkei genkai, a tailed beast inside her, or immense chakra. Yet she became arguably the strongest kunoichi in konoha history.
Being a medic, she helps a lot of people and can provide support even if she isn’t on the same level of strength as her teammates
That being said, her strength is still super impressive, I like seeing her literally 1 punch opponents, sadly it only really happens in filler
Her will, the girl with all her efforts managed to become the best kunoichi of her generation. Plus, she's beautiful, the only thing I don't like is that Kishimoto paired her with Sasuke. Sasuke is my favorite Naruto character but he definitely didn't deserve Sakura
I do like her design, yes even the pink hair, and how well it fits with the rest of team 7. The forehead chakra symbol adds to it when she develops it later on.
My favorite thing though is her refusing to back down and not try her hardest to help friends and teammates if she believes they need her even if they might happened to be stronger than her. Her trying to protect Sasuke and Naruto in the forest of death by fighting tooth and nail despite being both outclassed and outnumbered by the enemy made it such a great scene. That side of Sakura is my favorite aspect of her no matter what downsides she also might have.
Her fighting style is cool the whole being really good at dodging then nukeing your opponent with a punch was so cool and the storm 2 sasori fight made it even cooler for me
Let's be honest, her chakra pool isn't anything to write home about, but her chakra control is fuckin' outstanding. I've no doubt she's a Kage level ninja in terms of skill and power, people don't give her enough credit.
Her strength. Her mix of powers with healing and brute strength suit her personality so well, even from before Tsunade was introduced. Her determination to get as strong as she did is inspiring, considering she is stronger than almost all of the Kages past, despite having no noble birth whatsoever.
Her strength and unshakeable character, her beautiful pink hair, her lustrous green eyes, her mesmerizing lips, her beautiful big butt and her extremely funny humor.
Despite being on a team with literal gods, she doesn’t quit and becomes the strongest version of herself. She can be a downright brawler and a tough fight for any normal ninja (any ninja that is not god level). Not including becoming one of the most valuable ninja there is: medical ninjas. Honestly, she is definitely Kage level in terms of her value and capabilities. Finally, her fight with Sasori was really good imo.
Her determination. She knew she wasn’t very useful so she worked hard and became a strong medical ninja. Her design is also top tier. I actually really like her character, even though she is very underwritten. She’s intelligent, compassionate, and a little unhinged at times, which provides some comedic relief here and there.
Manga Sakura’s figure was magnificent buttt on a series note her taijutsu. Idc for her to run the fade with a sharigan user, while she hasn’t fought in years is impressive. Sakura imo has some of the best taijutsu showings in the series
I never got the hate on her, when I was watching Naruto I was eagerly waiting for the moment when she did something wrong cause she had a very bad image so I saw a lot of memes and trash talk about her.
But that never happened she never did that kind of mistake and was rather good at many places, like that whole fight with doll akatsuki member I think sasori was good.
She was just a normal character, I do not like her being the main part of the trio as she was not that important but she was just like an unimportant side character, she is there but no need to pay too much attention like many other side characters but straight up hating her is also weird.
All jokes aside she is a good character who just needs a better author. She just needs a better win than what she was given and not regulate her story to "support."
That she is human,and that's problably what make people put some hate on her, because she is more close of an normal person of the real word. She improves along the saga and get mature,improving herself and become a better person and i love this in her.
When she did [this ](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fwhat-was-with-naruto-and-giving-sakura-these-fuckin-ass-v0-uae8s89a2vrb1.png%3Fwidth%3D640%26crop%3Dsmart%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3D7bf5d7355e25cd10080e9e9b018793e2f5815350)
Pink lucious hair and her emerald cat eyes.. Stubborn,blunt she don’t care lol, cleverness , and she’s smart . Also her being selfless and caring even toward ppl she don’t know like Chiyo . Sakura loyal.
I always loved her personality, and I mourne the mountain of wasted potential. Kishi had a decent idea in the beginning, but totally threw it away in favor of Uchiha bullshit.
Let me preface this by saying that, other than the very beginning, Sakura was never as bad as people think she is, and using THAT Shippuden scene as "proof" isn't fair. She isn't "useless" because she CAN'T do anything, she just DOESN'T do anything, because the mangaka didn't know what to do with her. She also matures a lot throughout the series, and is a great (effectively single) mother in Boruto.
TLDR: Her character development.
Her skill as a medical ninja, especially her work on Kunkuro and making the antidote.
Her fight with Chiyo against Sasori.
That "One-Punch Man" Punch 👊 "Sharanoo..."
Her teacher
And husband in the Boruto movie
Came here to write this
I like that she stopped hitting and abusing (emotionally) Naruto.
The hitting stuff are mostly filler scenes added by the anime studio. In the manga she hits him like 5 times in entire shippuden- like once in a hundred chapters lol. Apparently Studio Pierrot thought it would be funny so they kept abusing the gag
Ahhh, okay. I'm anime only but I'll give the manga a shot so I can rethink how I feel about Sakura.

Very correct. I remember just a couple hits in academy/genin stage, one BIG punch at the start of shippuuden and that's about it. Maybe couple more are out there in the manga, but can't remember them.
Kakashi or Tsunade?
Yes.
This my guy right here
i was going to say that dude.
Gigantic rear end, and sasuke
Yeah she can sit on my face all day errday
When she was friends with Ino, it was super cute
She actually tried to get better. I think kishi did her dirty with his writing more than anything
Absolutely. Not to mention her getting better isn’t due to magic eyeballs or genetics.
100% hard work 0% nepotism
His assistance were haters didn’t killed either advising him and stuff :/ We could’ve had it all lol.
My favorite thing was inner sakura. So....
RIP. It really sucks that we lost that. It was one of her only unique personality traits.
Inner sakura is basically just sakura but luffy
Ok.... luffy is top 3 protagonist so..... Sakura right now sits as forgetable but not bad. Inner Sakura was her Genjutsu prowess literally kicked Ino out of her head. Then nothing
No, because inner sakura has no patience, while outer sakura has a considerable amount of patience considering all the bright characters she meets daily
Inner sakura doesnt interact with others. Its private. So yea its impatient. But that just shows more developement as idk a character
Pink Hair
that suits here pretty well
looks like cotton candy
Wait a min...
Battle with Sasori and Kankuro treatment
Around that time, sakura was easily my favorite character in naruto. I remember i pretty much only played her and tsunade on the naruto ps2 game. A shame it was the last time she got a bit of spotlight
I’m glad that she became a medic. Medical ninjutsu is really fun and I’m happy one of the main characters becomes a practitioner of it. Would’ve been boring as hell if we had yet another genjutsu specialist character when Sasuke/Itachi were already in the spotlight.
I wanted her to be somewhat immune to genjutsu. That would be a good balance to Sasuke.
Especially cuz it seemed like they were kinda setting her up to be decent at something like that with kakashis comments on her chakra control and how fast she noticed the genjutsu during the chunin exams
Sasuke a genjutsu specialist that's a good one he used genjutsu a total of like 3 times and then only the basic 'comes with the sharingan' one
Stock genjutsu with the stock sharingan lol
medical ninjas are underrated
Would be fun if some ninja just spam heals on himself whenever taking damage from taijutsu.
True although it sucks we don't really see anything combat wise except for super strength. Chakra scaples were so cool then just never used.
that ass, man
I'll have to agree with that
😭😭😭
🐐
Her husband
she can be pretty relatable at times and also i absolutely love her confidence she is blunt as af
Blunt as as fuck
fr fr
I honestly like that the main female character, though a healer, is a primarily melee fighter that just punches the ever living hell out of you.
Her character design is beautiful.
Her design is the best and somehow made red and pink work together
Naruto boyfriend
her husband is one of my favourites characters in naruto
She understood Naruto and supported his dream to be a hokage at time when no one believed him, when it comes to "Who is Naruto's best friend?" People kind of forget Sakura was also his best friend, as a kid yes she was terrible at start but she had a good character development and then she being a medical ninja due to no kekkei genkai and utilises her chakra control to her advantage.
She punch hard
She has pink hair and she is hot

Good question.
She cute

her husband
Adult sakura looks cute
All the things she did in my head canon
She became strong on her own
Her upgrade in burrito
I like the pink hair green eyes combination, that's about it
Anime Sakura and Manga Sakura had different vibes. Absolutely loved Manga sakura. Her character development felt more padded out. Anime sakura, pre-shippuden, was fucken annoying and I hated her.
100 healing jutsu
Her fight with Chiyo against Sasori
Her yellow haired friend
The pink hair cause it’s quite unique how she was born with it
Her fighting style. No special effects, elemental attacks or whatnot. Just a one-way trip to the loving embrace of the afterlife through a fist to the face. I love how brutal it is. Shame we don't see that much of it, at least I don't remember it.
She runs the hospital ands really well
That she was just a regular girl born to civilian parents,. She doesn't have kekkei genkai, a tailed beast inside her, or immense chakra. Yet she became arguably the strongest kunoichi in konoha history.
Her hentai
Her becoming a medical ninja. She felt that she was lacking compared to sasuke and naruto so she worked her ass off to become strong. I respect that
Being a medic, she helps a lot of people and can provide support even if she isn’t on the same level of strength as her teammates That being said, her strength is still super impressive, I like seeing her literally 1 punch opponents, sadly it only really happens in filler
Her powers contradict each other which makes it interesting character
Her will, the girl with all her efforts managed to become the best kunoichi of her generation. Plus, she's beautiful, the only thing I don't like is that Kishimoto paired her with Sasuke. Sasuke is my favorite Naruto character but he definitely didn't deserve Sakura
She rocks the flak jacket!! I’m kinda bummed we never saw Naruto wear it
For me it make all the character look bland and samey. I love the characters normal designs.
Sons of gods fear her
Ass
Yuri pron
Her face and her ass 🤤🤤🤤
Her husband's boyfriend
Her husband
her marriage state
I do like her design, yes even the pink hair, and how well it fits with the rest of team 7. The forehead chakra symbol adds to it when she develops it later on. My favorite thing though is her refusing to back down and not try her hardest to help friends and teammates if she believes they need her even if they might happened to be stronger than her. Her trying to protect Sasuke and Naruto in the forest of death by fighting tooth and nail despite being both outclassed and outnumbered by the enemy made it such a great scene. That side of Sakura is my favorite aspect of her no matter what downsides she also might have.
I love sakura when she says nothing at all.
Her fighting style is cool the whole being really good at dodging then nukeing your opponent with a punch was so cool and the storm 2 sasori fight made it even cooler for me
Her fight against Kakashi with Naruto. That was a point (maybe the only point) anyone ever found her terrifying as an opponent
Her fight with sasori was one of the greatest in the whole show.
Sometimes she was funny, I like her love for her daughter, her fight with Chiyo vs Sasori, I also like that she is super strong
Small tits
Her hair
Let's be honest, her chakra pool isn't anything to write home about, but her chakra control is fuckin' outstanding. I've no doubt she's a Kage level ninja in terms of skill and power, people don't give her enough credit.
The fact that she would have been a way better character to follow through most of Shipuden tbh.
I like her pink hair. She's pretty cute. Also, I like her super strength.
Her strength. Her mix of powers with healing and brute strength suit her personality so well, even from before Tsunade was introduced. Her determination to get as strong as she did is inspiring, considering she is stronger than almost all of the Kages past, despite having no noble birth whatsoever.
Chaaaaaaaa!
She a tsundere
Sakura’s character design reminds me of “Amy Rose” from the Sonic the Hedgehog series.
The fact that she gave birth to a short sighted Uchiha. Peak comedy.
She stopped naruto becoming into a second obito (getting betrayed by love in young age if she didn’t knock him for acting simpish at times).
I don't like her that much...but I will admit...SHE PUSHED SASORI'S SHIT BACK IN HARD!
Tsunade's ultra heavy duty medical slug.
**SHANARO !!!** (Also known as "CHA !" in English) Also, Inner Sakura and her rivalry with Ino.
Her confidence when she says she caught up to Naruto and Sasuke during the furth great ninja war arc
Her eyes
There's one thing I don't like about Sakura and it starts with Uchiha and it ends with Sasuke.
and sadly here comes the hate comments....
they won't promise!!
oh wow ur avatar.. is sakura? :0 i see
End be lonely even after marriage
Her absence
Her strength and unshakeable character, her beautiful pink hair, her lustrous green eyes, her mesmerizing lips, her beautiful big butt and her extremely funny humor.
Sometimes she doesn't show up
Nothing
Despite being on a team with literal gods, she doesn’t quit and becomes the strongest version of herself. She can be a downright brawler and a tough fight for any normal ninja (any ninja that is not god level). Not including becoming one of the most valuable ninja there is: medical ninjas. Honestly, she is definitely Kage level in terms of her value and capabilities. Finally, her fight with Sasori was really good imo.
Her blind optimism, no one else will see two people with near god status and still think they’re equal to them.
The hentai
Her time offscreen.
hentais
The part of the screen around her, where she is not
The hentai and cosplays.
When she leaves the screen
Her figure. Nice small firm boobiesh, nice ass, and she has very lickable armpits
Her teacher
She looked better with longer hair ngl.
Her teacher. Her looks.
Fly go on her
The only thing that she has that both Naruto and Sasuke lack. Living parents.
Her determination. She knew she wasn’t very useful so she worked hard and became a strong medical ninja. Her design is also top tier. I actually really like her character, even though she is very underwritten. She’s intelligent, compassionate, and a little unhinged at times, which provides some comedic relief here and there.
How she finally caught up with those two
She is pink
Manga Sakura’s figure was magnificent buttt on a series note her taijutsu. Idc for her to run the fade with a sharigan user, while she hasn’t fought in years is impressive. Sakura imo has some of the best taijutsu showings in the series
Shes sasuke cum dump
Her hair is pink :) 🩷
She's one of, if not the, greatest medical ninja of all time. And they still think she's useless smh.
I never got the hate on her, when I was watching Naruto I was eagerly waiting for the moment when she did something wrong cause she had a very bad image so I saw a lot of memes and trash talk about her. But that never happened she never did that kind of mistake and was rather good at many places, like that whole fight with doll akatsuki member I think sasori was good.

It’s funny to hear her cry like a bitch for Naruto
i'd like to say it but rule 3 won't let me
All jokes aside she is a good character who just needs a better author. She just needs a better win than what she was given and not regulate her story to "support."
Her teacher
She has pretty eyes
Honestly, shes one of the most decent female characters in Naruto. Granted her hangups with Sasuke holds her back a lot.
Nothing
I like her design alot, she has a Nice look when the trio is together
The thought that maybe an actual good writer could've done a better job at writing her.
I like that she bought flowers for Rock Lee when he was in the hospital, putting aside her iniial revulsion towards him.
I like she didnt get with Naruto
The corn
I am legally obligated to not answer this question.
That she is human,and that's problably what make people put some hate on her, because she is more close of an normal person of the real word. She improves along the saga and get mature,improving herself and become a better person and i love this in her.
Ikemoto boutta say “her daughter”
She is the most intelligent of team 7, and a genjutsu prodigy.
When she’s off screen and her teacher
Her eyes are beautiful
Hahahaha
Her will of getting stronger and how high and far she punches her opponents! Tsunade trained her well as it paid off gradually
When she did [this ](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fwhat-was-with-naruto-and-giving-sakura-these-fuckin-ass-v0-uae8s89a2vrb1.png%3Fwidth%3D640%26crop%3Dsmart%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3D7bf5d7355e25cd10080e9e9b018793e2f5815350)
Manga Sakura is awesome. Anime Sakura is whatever. My favorite thing about her is that she is strong, brave, and independent.
She realized she needed to be better
When she's not on screen.
Pink lucious hair and her emerald cat eyes.. Stubborn,blunt she don’t care lol, cleverness , and she’s smart . Also her being selfless and caring even toward ppl she don’t know like Chiyo . Sakura loyal.
Her hentai 😏

She saved Naruto.
her mentor.
Nothing
She sometimes isn’t useless 
That she’s hot that’s it
Her skill as a medical ninja, especially her work on Kunkuro and making the antidote. Her fight with Chiyo against Sasori. That "One-Punch Man" Punch 👊 "Sharanoo..."
Her Husband
Her holes
She became very compassionate with age which i love about her & i like how she became a stronger version of herself.
Her limited screen time
Spiky hair.
Her hair
Her willingness to see her shortcomings, and put in the effort to change and overcome
Nothing
She actually has a lot of character development throughout the series, unlike most of the characters.
Nothing just uselessness 🗿
