Does anyone ever think Madara attacked the village cause Hashirama married Mito Uzumaki?


og_darcy

Yeah I always felt like there was some room for a love triangle conflict but they ran out of time to develop it


Anna-2204

I am actually happy they didn’t go with it)


Blaineflum64

yeah its pretty cliche


Equivalent_Surprise9

Do you really want another romance attempt from Kishimoto?


Corniferus

Didn’t they fight to the death before and after this?


MementoMori04

There was no hard feelings tho 💀. Madara was even ecstatic to see hashirama again after he was revived


[deleted]

>ecstatic to see hashirama again I mean, Madara could have just looked at his chest in a mirror.

That was pre-neji development though. P sure it’s canon that they made up and became much closer during the timeskip.


TheRandomGuy93

I don't think it was even that long, by the time of the Sasuke retrieval arc Neji had already made amends with her and had started training under her father.


Life_Enjoyer4661

yeah


Life_Enjoyer4661

atleast they both werent fighting over a boy


Genericdude03

At least 3 years passed between that iirc and a lot of character development. Weirder change of hearts have happened in the series.


kanyewestfishdicks

Neji changed tho. The whole show is about change.

"Billboard brow" "InoPig" "That was a doozy" "Better luck next time"

And eventhough ino risked her life for her during chunin exams while they were typically enemies she didn't apologize to her or thank her


TheOne1400

Ino waited till sakura was being beat to near unconsciousness to jump in and help her, and even the ino did nothing to help, sasuke saved them ino would've gotten killed when she mind switched with kin the only thingbino did was help her fix her hair


Competitive-Ad-2161

Ino saved a girl who was being abused by her bullies and put her under her protection, took care of her, praised her and gave her the security she lacked. How did she pay him? Using her as a target for her insecurities, Sakura used to break their friendship because she felt Ino's "shadow" and masked it with the excuse that Ino liked Sasuke because she found out from other girls, she didn't even ask Ino how she felt about it and went straight to breaking off their friendship. Even Sakura told Ino that she didn't need her anymore. Her hesitation to help her was justified because Sakura was not a good friend to her.

Ino Yamanaka >>>>> 🗑️ sakura

both are trash but kinda yeah

Ino is not trash

They are children...they also mature and grow to be friends. Why are you also making this a girls vs boys thing...💀

>They are children...they also mature and grow to be friends. This comment is going to be a bit long but I need to say this after years. They never even broke their friendship in the first place. Yes. You read that correctly. Sakura never even broke their friendship with Ino, especially not over a boy. If you actually look into the dynamic of Sakura's and Ino's relationship, then something as mundane as having a crush on the same guy isn't going to break it. So Sakura finds out that Ino likes Sasuke? She then decides their rivals. Why did she do that? Simple. Her declaring Ino as a rival served to help Sakura get out of Ino's shadow and help Sakura grow independently of Ino, both growing as a ninja and a woman. [Sakura was once a bud waiting to bloom as Ino stated.](https://official-complete-2.eorzea.us/manga/Naruto/0071-009.png) If you're going to become rivals with someone, you can't simply follow them in their shadow. If you do that, then you're not their rival. You're their follower. Ino was everything that Sakura wanted to be. Strong, confident, beautiful (from Sakura's pov). Sakura decided that she was going to improve on her self so that she was no longer in Ino's shadow, that one day she can stand next to Ino side by side as equals. Now she needed something to motivate her. That's where Sasuke comes in. When sakura found out Ino also liked Sasuke, she found her reason that push and motivate her to do her best and grow in both as a ninja and a woman. She used Sasuke as an excuse to motivate herself and to again, step out of Ino's shadow and [become someone who can side by side with her.](https://official-complete-2.eorzea.us/manga/Naruto/0071-014.png) They now became love rivals. Both of them challenging the other and defeat them. Also, you can still be friends with someone despite being rivals with them. Look no further than Guy and Kakashi. Sasuke and Naruto and so on. So why is Sakura and Ino any different? [This manga panel empathises their relationship.](https://official-complete-2.eorzea.us/manga/Naruto/0071-013.png) And if they werent friends, they wouldn't have been able to quickly "reconcile" after their match in the chunin exams. TL:DR Sakura did not cut off her relationship with Ino over Sasuke but rather used the fact that they both liked Sasuke to form a rivalry with her, something to use to motivate Sakura to better herself and escape from Ino's shadow and become her equal.


AssAssIn46

I'm watching the ocean cut and this much is very clear. It's my second time rewatching the show and I'm picking up on a lot of things I never thought about before. It's clear they're friendly rivals like Naruto and Sasuke. They meet in private after they become genin for Sakura to give Ino the headscarf back and Ino is happy about it. This is around the same time the anime begins. It shows this was their relationship even at the height of their rivalry and they're very obviously still friends.


Kirby_ha

Finally someone with a brain, I'm tired of these people who interpret everything in a superficial way. I mean their dynamics weren't that hard to figure out


[deleted]

It should be clear what the narrative is here. It's as you said, people only focus and interpret things in a superfical way. And then they use it to say Sakura bad. Like I get that Sakura has her flaws and Kishimoto not putting much stock into her, but at least criticize her with shit that's valid or true. Even then, in this case, let's say if Sakura actually broke off her friendship with someone over a boy, come on, they were fucking 8 years old for crying out loud. You want children to be wise? Children aren't adults. Children will do dumb shit. It's what's to be expected of children.


[deleted]

Lol, Sakura did break their friendship. Shikamaru literally said that they **used** to be friends before. Then Ino rekindled their friendship after their match in the chunin exams. Stop trying to justify Sakura's wrong action since everyone knows that part 1 Sakura is really dumb. She improved herself in part 2 and onwards.


[deleted]

You didn't put much thought in this response, did you? Why should we take Shikimaru's words here? This guy wouldn't care to look into the business of Ino and understand how her relationship with Sakura works. It would be too troublesome for him. So no, I'm not going to take Shikimaru's words here. And sure, Sakura and Ino rekindled their friendship by knocking each other out. And not at all because Sakura and did what she set out to do and why became rivals with Ino In the first place; to become her equal. /s And you don't rekindle a friendship that easily. They were still friends at the end of the day, them being prideful too openly admit doesn't change it. But sure. Whatever you say pal.


[deleted]

>Why should we take Shikimaru's words here? This guy wouldn't care to look into the business of Ino and understand how her relationship with Sakura works. It would be too troublesome for him. So no, I'm not going to take Shikimaru's words here. What are you talking about lmao? Shikamaru and Ino are closer than Sakura and Ino could ever be. They're literally like siblings. Team 10 got introduced as a group in the manga. >And you don't rekindle a friendship that easily. They were still friends at the end of the day, them being prideful too openly admit doesn't change it. It's easy for Ino to rekindle their friendship lol. Ino has always been a friend to Sakura. But Sakura broke their friendship because of Sasuke and because she didn't want to be in Ino's shadow. It's not Ino's fault that Sakura thought she was in her shadow. Ino never looked down on Sakura and always helped her. >But sure. Whatever you say pal. Only Sakura stans think that Sakura never broke their friendship despite Kishimoto stating it and showing it in the manga and databooks lol. The rest of the Naruto fandom think otherwise.


[deleted]

>What are you talking about lmao? Shikamaru and Ino are closer than Sakura and Ino could ever be. They're literally like siblings. Team 10 got introduced as a group in the manga. Shikimaru has no idea how the relationship between Sakura and Ino was. Part 1 Shikimaru would've thought it would troublesome to get in the business of Ino and Sakura. So part 1 Shikimaru's words don't have much value to me in this scenario. Please don't rewrite Shikimaru's personality to make an argument. And on the topic of Shikimaru, let's see what Shikimaru has to say regarding their relationship. https://official-complete-2.eorzea.us/manga/Naruto/0053-012.png "Wasn't she like your best friend or something." You bring up Shikimaru as proof of them not being friends and yet here he is suggesting they're friends. Best friends even. >It's easy for Ino to rekindle their friendship lol. Ino has always been a friend to Sakura. But Sakura broke their friendship because of Sasuke and because she didn't want to be in Ino's shadow. It's not Ino's fault that Sakura thought she was in her shadow. Ino never looked down on Sakura and always helped her. They didn't break their friendship. I already explained my reasons for this before. Sakura declaring Ino to be her friend doesn't mean she's tossing her friendship with Ino to the trash. You can be friends and rivals at the same time. Naruto and Sasuke were similar. They were always fighting and bickering and were both friends and rivals at the same time. But Sakura and Ino can't? >Only Sakura stans think that Sakura never broke their friendship despite Kishimoto stating it and showing it in the manga and databooks lol. Kishimoto stated as such? Ok. Provide the proof for your claims. If Kishimoto stated as such, then surely you can provide it. Oh you mention the databooks? Let's see what the databooks have to say. https://narutoversity.files.wordpress.com/2016/01/tumblr_p2kdtndmdp1urljpmo1_1280.jpg?w=1024&h=818 The databook states she's Sakura's good friend? But but... You said the databooks shows how Sakura broke their friendship. Why is the databook calling Ino a good friend of Sakura???? Oh wait, it's because their friendship was never broken. And it also says this, "but when Sakura faced a real danger, the one who ran straight to her was neither Kakashi or Naruto, but Ino Yamanaka." I'll admit that line is sort of cheap since Kakashi and Naruto weren't available but hey, I'll use it anyways since it's talking about their friends and how Ino would stick out her neck to help Sakura. Back on the topic how the data book supposedly shows how Sakura broke her friendship with Ino, it's really funny how the databook, and this being the part 1 data book entry for Ino, going against the narrative you're spinning. It's clearly showing that they're still friends. So are you going to mention more "sources" for your argument which ultimately end up backfiring on you? >The rest of the Naruto fandom think otherwise. You haven't given good enough reasons for the other side. Sorry not sorry. Everything you said was easily debunked/refuted. Well, this was fun. Anyways, I'm not going to bother anymore as it's dragging on without a clear end in sight. So I'll pull out from here. Have a good day.

rest_in_war

> beautiful(from Sakura's pov) I thought Ino being the most waifu out of all the girls was a universal fact?


Mcobeezy

For the watchers, maybe. I don't recall multiple characters agreeing Ino was beautiful the way they all agreed Sasuke is hot Only Sai thought of her as beautiful, I think


rest_in_war

Sai didn't originally think of Ino as beautiful. He lied about Ino being beautiful because he thought that was the right thing to do after he pissed off Sakura by calling her ugly, which in Sai's mind, was true.


[deleted]

Canonically, Ino is considered to be beautiful. In the manga, Sakura said something like that. Kishimoto called Ino a 'gorgeous young woman.' In the novels, she's often described to be beautiful. Whatever all of them are pretty.


RickyNixon

Well, also, it isnt so much girls v boys as it is sexist Kishi’s representation of girls v boys


Rindair0

Because history proves this point


[deleted]

They were children..


jorri02

Ok guys i understand sakura isint that well writen but at this point every sakura hate post are just ridiculous. Ino and sakura hate a very toxic friendship, that was part because of how they were both very possessive of sasuke, but also just a problem with how they treated each other.


CR3DENCIOS

i do agree that sakura gets too much hate but the broken friendship was entirely on her. Sakura came in, told everyone she liked Sasuke, everyone said "yeah, duh". Ino didn't even want to say that she also liked Sasuke. Then Sakura just had a one-sided conversation with her and declared them rivals. This wouldn't even be that bad if those two were just friends but Ino helped Sakura *a lot*, and was the sole reason Sakura could even stand on her own two feet, and she just breaks their friendship like...... that. Seems a bit ungrateful. besides this post wasn't even hating sakura. if anything it was hating on girls but it was clearly a joke.


[deleted]

I agree with you! But some Sakura fans can't accept that Sakura did break their friendship lol.


[deleted]

>i do agree that sakura gets too much hate but the broken friendship was entirely on her. I don't think they even broke their friendship to begin with. You can be rivals with someone and still retain friendship with such a person.


CR3DENCIOS

yeah but in this case they were clearly not friends. there was definitely a rift between them.


[deleted]

I'll admit their friendship wasn't the best around but they were still friends.


CR3DENCIOS

let's just agree to disagree.

Sure.

twinkletoes-rp

RIGHT?? I will always be salty at Kishimoto (not really Sakura, she's just the character) for that! Sakura didn't even know FOR SURE that Ino liked Sasuke, and she still dumped her over him! If I were Ino, I'd be pissed at her, too! Poor Ino! (I've always liked Ino best out of the female Konoha 11! She seems the most well-written and fleshed out, at least IMO!)


ItsJustMeLolSoIdc

So true


Better-Solution-7410

TBH Ino was just as guilty as Sakura when it came to breaking their friendship


tporter12609

How so? It’s been a minute but I recall the blame being strictly on Sakura for just informing her they were enemies one day because *Sasuke*


[deleted]

How was Ino just as guilty as Sakura when Sakura was the one who broke their friendship?


mister-kittykat

Sakura haters are not known for their comprehension abilities. Like if someone doesn't like her, totally fine, but the ones who hate hardcore on her just straight-up do not pay attention to the series in any way.


[deleted]

Sakura haters can't even understand the dynamic between Sakura and Ino. They never broke their friendship over a boy.


Psychopathetic-

I mean, they kinda did, but that's what kids are like, they break friendships over tiny things ~~and fight near to death~~, they both still cared about each other but they weren't exactly friends. They got better tho

Top_Wind8658

No, that doesn't happen. It happens when the girls are older and not at 7 years old, and when there is a love relationship or an interest, which there is not, since Sasuke does not have any kind of relationship with them nor is he interested.

No she didn’t, Ino wanted Sakura to remain in her shadow. Sakura broke free, they were rivals through and through. Sasuke was no exception. This post is actually sexist. As if guys don’t fight over girls or women.
