Does Sakura like Sasuke and Naruto?

Answer 1

*Sasuke was the boy Sakura liked originally, although it's more like she chose a cute boy to like so she could be like other girls. Since her friendship with Ino ended because of him, he became her obsession. Later on she was placed on his team, and it was a dream come true for her. As she started to get to know him better and understand his pain, it became less of a 'crush' and more like true love. She confessed to him twice, but the first time it wasnt true and wasnt to him. The second time she truly confessed, but instead of saying she was 'in love' with him she said she loves him, which might not necessarily be romantically. In my opinion her feelings towards him now are more like sibling love, similar to Naruto's feelings for him. Although it is my favorite pairing, and theres a lot of evidence that he has romantic feelings for her, the person she is would love him more like a brother.

*When she first met Naruto she hated him because her friends did. Then she hated him because he started fights with Sasuke. The turning point was when Sasuke scolded her for insulting Naruto behind his back. She made a decision to be kinder to Naruto. As the three of them fought side by side, she started to notice Naruto's strength, kind heart, and determination. Watching him fight, she caught herself feeling the joy and exhilaration Sasuke usually made her feel, and it distressed her. When the three of them returned after an important mission, the two boys began to fight again and she found herself unwilling to choose sides. In the Chuunin exams she showed she cared about him by attempting to give up the test if it would help him become hokage in the future. She grew closer to him as the series progressed, and although she was still harsh with him it lacked the hatred she used to feel. They remained close friends most of the series. However, when Sasuke abandoned them, she went to Naruto for help. He told her he understood her feelings for Sasuke, although it made him sad. She realized he really cared for her, and she felt bad about being cruel to him. When he failed to bring Sasuke back she wouldn't talk to him about it, and tried to cheer him up. She also said she would help him retrieve Sasuke. This is when I believe she began to see him as more than a friend. In Shippuuden, after Sakura and Naruto havent seen each other for years, she is impressed by his mature looks and behavior. She blushes and flirts with him, but he ruins the moment. Throughout Shippuuden she shows evidence that her feelings for him have matured as she did. She also understands Sasuke and Naruto's relationship better, and instead of pursuing Sasuke for herself, she wants to bring him back to Naruto. In my opinion she loves him as much as she is 'in love' with him. However, from experience I know it isn't a good idea for friends that close to get romantically involved. They may very well be soulmates, but I don't believe they should be a couple.

*So, yes, Sakura does like Sasuke and Naruto. In fact, she loves them even more than she loved Ino. And at some points she has loved them romantically. However, Its a difficult situation for her and them. Both boys love each other as well, and would probably give her up so the other could be happy. (Actually... Theyve each already done that. :(. ) I think she should be with Sasuke. I'd rather see her with him than see her friendship with Naruto destroyed. (Although geez, Sai just blew it, telling her Naruto loves her. What'll happen now?) Especially since when Sasuke comes back (provided hes done getting his revenge) he'll probably fall into her arms expecting her love to still be there. But it isn't. (At least, its a different kind of love now.) For once the fanfiction writers have got it. Besides, Sasuke needs to be rescued. Badly.

*Do you think this answer is too long? I do. It feels like a rant...
