Who's character do you prefer more? 0-Naruto x-Sasuke Naruto wants to turn back time to before the time that Sasuke ran off to Orochimaru and continue from there as if nothing happened. Sasuke has become a psychopath who can't help but childishly lash out in anger, with the criterion for his target selection becoming ever looser, from the single guy responsible, to anyone it might benefit him to kill, anyone that is the most remotely connected, and even people he no longer deems useful. Sasuke is evil, Naruto is good if flawed. But if we are talking about characters, then Naruto is exciting, he takes me on an emotional and action packed roller coaster. Sasuke is dull because he is cool. It's not interesting for a character to be cool unless he is usually lame. I sometimes hold out hope for Sasuke, but then he does something evil and that makes me feel hostility towards him. Naruto may be a stubborn idiot, but he then accomplishes great things, comes up with brilliant ideas, and succeeds against the odd, but he also sometimes fails or just slips up which keeps up the tension. In any case, I hate Sasuke and like Naruto. I only liked Sasuke until the fight on the roof of the hospital. Since then I've thought of him as an arrogant snob with a superiority complex who is way too obsessed with himself and way too negative about everything. And now he has become a psychopath. Who do you hate more? Sasuke(O) or Sakura(X)? Sakura started off as a "Sasuke idiot" - some girl who had an ordinary and superficial crush on Sasuke. However, as time went by her crush subsided and her feelings of friendship towards him grew. At the same time she began appreciating Naruto and those feelings eventually started turning into love. When Sasuke ran away from the village she was upset over losing a precious friend, but when Naruto failed to bring him back what she was concerned with the most was Naruto's feelings. She told Naruto to give up on Sasuke and tried to confess her feelings towards him, but Naruto cut her off and reaffirmed his vow. Sakura was left with no choice but to support Naruto. When Naruto got back from his 2.5 years long training trip with Jiraya, almost the first thing he and Sakura did was go on a date together, though Sakura was acting like she wasn't taking it seriously. When they went to rescue Gaara Naruto started to talk about being a Jinchuuriki, and Sakura bacame very sad. Later elder Chiyo spoke about what Akatsuki were planning to do to Naruto, and Sakura became so upset she started crying. When Sakura heard about the connection between Sasori and Orochimaru she became fired up and vowed to get from him information about Sasuke's whereabouts, but after Naruto's fight at the bridge she said to captain Yamato that she wanted to help Naruto deal with the Kyubi. Not a word about helping get Sasuke back. Yamato then said that what is most important isn't what she could do for Naruto but how she feels towards him, and that he knows what those really are. When Sasuke turned against Konoha Sakura gave up on him coming back and tried confessing to Naruto again, but just as she feared Naruto didn't believe her and thought it was merely a ploy to get him to give up on Sasuke. Sakura then tried to assassinate Sasuke on her own, probably to force Naruto to acknowledge reality and accept her feelings, not to mention that she wanted to feel useful, since she usually looks down too much on herself. As to why she has supported Naruto for so long in his quest and why she has generally been unable to show her true feelings, Sakura shares Naruto's dream of reuniting team 7, but she doesn't belive in it as strongly as he does. However, she does want to support the man she loves, and so she has done he best to do so in spite of her occasional pessimism. Naruto is stuck in the past. He wants to rewind time to the moment before team 7 fell apart, and so he is unable to accept any fundamental change to their relationship as it would prevent team 7 from resuming from where they left off. Because Sakura has always strongly rejected Naruto in the past, and because of having real feelings for Naruto, Sakura is actually feeling very shy and apprehensive. She is afraid of being brushed off by Naruto and is somewhat embarrassed about exposing her feelings. Overall I would say that the reasons Sakura seems lame is because she lacks a feeling of self-worth and that she has been pushed into supporting what she already knows to be a hopeless cause while hiding her own feelings, which makes her look obsessive, clingy, manipulative, and exploitative, when in fact she is merely, and sometimes even grudgingly, assisting someone who is already obsessed all on his own. Sasuke on the other hand has lost all reason. He is dangerous, manipulative, treasonous, murderous, and ruthless. He has become nothing more than a self-absorbed killing machine that is worthy only of contempt. He has now reached an all-time low by targeting the lives of a woman who loves him and is absolutely loyal to him, and those of an entire village of innocent people who had no idea what was going, not to mention going after an innocent guy in service of an organization that is aiming to start a new world-war and is personally targeting his best friend's life.
