Why does Uzumaki Naruto like Haruno Sakura?

[megabbaut]

I never understood why Sakura beats up Naruto, but she never beats up Sasuke...

Usually its when Naruto is about to do something stupid. It is really just used for comic relief.

[NarutoRendan]

Eh it appears that recently Naruto is starting not to give a crap about sakura , romantically. And yeah i think naruto is a competitive guy i guess he likes girls who are after other guys. I guess that would explain why he rarely gave hinata or tenten a second look or somin..

Sakura isn't even attractive and shes also flat chested.

I see no reason to stick to her.

...Hormones? o.O

The last confirmation we have of Naruto's feelings in that he's in love with Sakura (stated directly by him in 457, and then reinforced by his initial reaction in 469).

There's been nothing in the manga to suggest that those feelings have changed in any manner.

So what in the manga makes you think differently?

And yeah i think naruto is a competitive guy i guess he likes girls who are after other guys. I guess that would explain why he rarely gave hinata or tenten a second look or somin..

If that were true, Naruto wouldn't have put his feelings aside in order to make Sakura happy during the promise of a lifetime - that promise would never have been made, because it was all about him acknowledging that Sakura loves Sasuke and that he will step aside and let her be with him if that's what makes her happy. If it was merely about competition, Naruto also wouldn't have bothered keeping his true feelings for Sakura hidden for so many years.

He also would have accepted Sakura's love confession, because that would essentially meant that he "won" over Sasuke.

I kind of agree with the three of them together again but I don't think she really cares about Sasuke as much as she does for Naruto. (Don't believe me? She was prepared to kill Sasuke so Naruto would be happy.)

Err. i dont think Sakura ever intended on really killing Sasuke, It was all an act as far as i view it to make Naruto feel better. Kinda like saying that Itachi was prepared to kill Sasuke in thier last fight but...suprise, suprise he never had such plans in the first place.

Besides i think that Naruto is already starting to outgrow his crush on Sakura for many reasons.

Show the proof

[RedDragoon]

There is a difference between being in love and just having a crush. From Naruto's actions it would seem he does truly love her although I can't be completely sure about that.

Pretty sure it wasn't an act, given the fact that she went as far as poisoning her kunai and then crying, thinking "I thought I could do it,"

By those scenes, Sakura truly intended to kill Sasuke, for all of Team 7's sake.

Besides i think that Naruto is already starting to outgrow his crush on Sakura for many reasons.

Could you elaborate? Because I haven't seen any signs of this myself.

[Akatsukifollower]

Even if i where to elaborate on the outgrowing part and present eveidence on the matter of Naruto out growing his feelings for Sakura, it feels to me like a lost cause sine apparently those who dosent see the signs dont want to seem them.

In other words, if you guys still belive that Naruto loves Sakura as much as he did before. Then i'm not going to bust your belifs, only time will tell where it will end.

But here goes anyways, by outgrowing i mean that he dosent seem to blush as much as he used to around her, nor do stuff to impress her either.

And oh she posioned her Kunai,whoho..Only one persons knows if Sakura ever intended to kill Sasuke or not and thats Kishi. The reason i viewed it as an act was the way she behaved up to that point and afterwards, but thats just me.

Well, in case you didn't notice, Naruto really isn't worried about his love life right now. He's more worried about Sasuke and Madara.

It goes both ways - but if you're not presenting evidence from the manga to back up your claims then of course we're not going to consider your argument at all.

But here goes anyways, by outgrowing i mean that he dosent seem to blush as much as he used to around her, nor do stuff to impress her either.

He's actually blushed quite a bit over Sakura in part two (their initial reunion after the timeskip, when Sakura punched the ground during the second bell test, when Sakura healed Kankuro, when Sakura offered to feed him ramen, when Sakura confessed - those are just the ones I recalled off the top of my head). He hasn't blushed over anyone else (to the best of my recollection), and he's blushed recently over Sakura, after Hinata's confession.

As for Naruto not doing stuff to impress her - he said himself why in chapter 457. He's backed off pursuing Sakura until he can fulfill the POAL - that is what's holding him back from telling her how he feels, and why he hasn't been trying to get her to like him as he did in part one. Naruto also firmly believes that she loves Sasuke, and is willing to step aside if that's what will make Sakura happy.

Though it's possible after the "fake confession" Naruto's feelings have started changing for Sakura, there really isn't anything in the manga that suggests that at the moment, imo.

And oh she posioned her Kunai,whoho..Only one persons knows if Sakura ever intended to kill Sasuke or not and thats Kishi. The reason i viewed it as an act was the way she behaved up to that point and afterwards, but thats just me.

Her behavior up to that point and afterward is what confirms to me that she was honestly going to try and kill Sasuke in my opinion - why would she think "I thought I could do it" if she wasn't actually going to try and kill him?

[SixPathsofPainDeva]

because boys like a chase and she gives it to him

[Sakurah]

Guys are attracted to girls who hit them and girls with fierce attitudes.Sakura was also bullied when she was a kid so that's probably another reason why he likes Sakura.Sakura will find out one day that she really loves naruto
~The End~

[koshej]

I have a funny question to all NaruSaku fans:
Why do you care for Sakura, while completely ignoring Hinata's feelings?
What I'm saying is that we can have 2 options:
1. Kishi is a jerk, and he will leave Hinata unhappy in the end. She of course can "outgrow" her crush, but why shouldn't Naruto AND should Sakura??? I mean, in order for real NaruSaku.
2. Assuming that Kishi will try ending up with everyone happy, there must be resolution to all "triangles" and "crushes". Sakura has at least 3 options to choose from already. Hinata has only Naruto, and her feelings led her to do WAY more in NaruHina, than ever happened in NaruSaku or especially SasuSaku pairs.
So???

[Fukai Tsumi]

How can anyone say she's unattractive? They're ANIME CHARACTERS. They all look practically the SAME. On top of that, it's consistently stated that she is attractive.

Some guys like a girl who can and will beat them up, I know I do. It can also be addictive to chase after someone you know doesn't want you, either for the challenge, masochism, or because of some deeper psychological reason, such as it being a method of self-harm (of the punishment/atonement variety).

[Stormy_Uchiha]

he has a fetish for pink hair lol

[Vornmusion]

Precisionally applied chakra.

I'll let that sink in.

[Fukai Tsumi]

Vornmusion, I rather do like the way you think, good sir.

[bobtiger5]

Ok. Below are my opinions and wishes for NaruSaku and NaruHina

NaruSaku:

I feel that this may happen due to several reasons. First, Naruto had stated/confessed/reaffirmed multiple times in anime and manga in both young and teen that he like Saruka and he will never give up fighting for Sakura' love. Second, Naruto and Sakura had always been teaming up with each other for many missions. It is possible that feelings for each other may grow out of friendship. Third, Sakura's Confession maybe true that she "love" Naruto.

However, personally, I would really wish NaruSaku won't happen. Again, due to several reasons. Firstly, Sakura cannot get over with Sakuke. This is evident in the episode where Sasuke had defeated Danzo (correct me if i am wrong, i had nearly forgotten the earlier episodes and manga. Sakura freeze in front of Sakuke again, since they met each other in the Orochimaru's Den. This show Sakura still cannot let Sasuke go despite the fact that Sakura mind up her mind that Sasuke is no longer she love. Sakura may still have even stronger feeling for Sakuke than Naruto.

Second, if NaruSaku ever happens, it will seems to betray Naruto's initial vow which is "Bring Sasuke Back For Sakura". Yes, I agree that Naruto loves Sakura, but he got to fulfil Sakura promise which is making SasuSaku be possible again. Naruto clearly knows that Sakura is not for him as Sakura is already set on chasing Sasuke's love. In addition, in the Sakura's Confession episode, Naruto had more evidence that Naruto cannot be together with Sakura. Naruto knew Sakura was cheating herself, forcing herself to love Naruto. Naruto doesn't like that and doesn't want that. Just because you love somebody, you cannot steal that person's love forcefully. Naruto got to learn this.

NaruHina

I am sad to say that MAYBE NaruHina may not happen. This is due to several reasons. First, Naruto is not fully or partially aware of Hinata's scarfices. When Hinata finally confesses to Naruto during Pain's invasion, Naruto was stunned. He did not see the reason why someone he knew nothing or little about likes or loves him. After the Pain's Invasion, Naruto may see Hinata like a Weird/Obsessed Naruto Fan.
Second, Fairytales does not exist in real life and Hinata gotta learn that. Thinking about Naruto or worrying about Naruto does not make Naruto falling in love with you. Hinata gotta know that she gonna make her action or scarifices more notable and noticable. Her only obvious-to-Naruto scarifces is during Pain's Invasion. This is notable, but not enough, Hinata. If ever, NaruHina is going happen right out of nothing, I am going to RageQuit Naruto Series for a long damn time. I am serious about this.
Thridly, Naruto, you are too damn quiet about your romantic feelings. No words for Sakura and Hinata. Or maybe you are completely uninterested getting along with Hinata or Sakura as for now.

HOWEVER, I WANT NARUHINA TO HAPPEN, out of something ( of course). Due to several reasons. WARNING: My reason may be subjective. Please take it as a one man's opinion.
One, Hinata is a sexy woman, no offence. It looks kinda like my GF though. she is cute, kawaii, has nice breast and figure. Nice personality: Determined, Polite, Kind. Abilites: Byakuga techniques. Utimate: Gentle Step Twin Lion Fist. OMG! It is hard to find such a girl like this in real life and it is even rarer when she likes you. I mean: go for it Naruto, you had the best girl everybody can dream of.
Second, Naruto, if you can pick Hinata up, you can gain access to Byakugan secret techniques. Just like what your father, Minato did, learing your Mother's fuinjutsu. You can use it to protect her clan and your village. Compared to Sakura, you can learn punch and medical stuff (which can be bit boring and torturous under Sakura, if you know i mean).
Thridly, don't waste Hinata's efforts. I mean, Naruto, Hinata success/acceptace/strength/motivation/confidence is determined by you. You are the one who can change Hinata. Hinata was on the verge on losing herself and her father's acceptance. If you can just go out with her just for once, I bet Hinata will surpass her Cousin and her Father in no time. If you reject Hinata, she may not get over it and may end up like Sakura, creating even more problems as you have two women depressed becuase of you. The Hyuga Clan will be in a state of emergency as there is no successor of Hyuga Clan Leader and the Branch family will have to rule over the Main Family. This may cause confilct and disaster may befall on Hyuga Clan.
Fourthly, Sakura mind is set on getting Sasuke's love for sure, although she had some doubts and you know that, please don't be selfish. If you love somebody that much, you should also respect that person.Let Sakura go and just give Hinata a chance, will yea? I bet you will like her eventually.

I have said everything I wanted to say. I can only hope what Masashi Kishimoto doing is rigth and logical. Also, I hope that my wish could come true. NARUHINA FOREVER!!!!!
