Sakura's Impact on Naruto Story

[bthug]

t's insane how much Sakura impacts Naruto and the Naruto universe for I instance
If she wasn't kidnapped Naruto probably would have never went after Gaara, which eventually ends up saving the leaf and saving Gaara, making him and the sand a future ally.

Then there's the promise Naruto would have never gone after Sasuke if it wasn't for the promise. Then none of this would probably be happening as it is. Oorchunaru would be an uchia. Which also bring to the point where I believe that some part of bringing sasuke back is still do to Sakura, cause he doesn't want to go back on his word.

And a another thing, which might not be as impactful, but naruto was pissed and was talking about getting revenge for jiriya death, but Sakura quickly yelled at him. Stopping all vengeance from naruto in its tracks.

probably?? so your assuming something. We can't tell if this would be true or not.

Just because he wouldn't have promised her doesn't mean he would have tried less to bring Sasuke back because he wanted him back aswell.

1. Probably agree - I don't remember that part clearly.
2. Probably disagree - Naruto was Sasuke's friend on his own, so he could end up the same way just by himself.
3. Highly disagree - I don't exactly remember that moment, but I have a strong feeling that the real reason for Naruto NOT planting a Rasengan into Nagato's face, was him obviously sparing Hinata (look, only an idiot would believe that he "missed" at point-blank to kill her, so...), thus showing him NOT being the ultimate bad guy, so Naruto chose to SPEAK rather than KILL.
IMHO, but it seems very logical.

Naruto never liked Gaara to begin with because he crippled Lee so if he had a chance to fight him he would have, plus Kakashi sent Shika on a mission with Naruto and Sakura to stop Sasuke from confronting Gaara. So someone else could have gone instead. Gaara was about to kill Sasuke too not just Sakura so Naruto wasn't fighting just for Sakura. Really no girl makes too much of an impact on Naruto except his mom and Tsunade.

HUH???
And how's THAT???
Kushina's main influence was Kyuubi - but I can hardly call it REAL (as in personal) influence...
And as of Tsunade, um, WHAT???
I'd rather say that HE influenced HER, not so much vice versa.
Also, you do forget who was an indirect cause for him meeting his dad.
(Hint: No, not Sakura. )

Damn the Sakura hate is no joke

After talking with Pain Naruto stopped his vengence
Naruto is going after Saskue for himself not Sakura
Sand never kidnapped Sakura

Well first thing if it wasn't for Kushina Naruto wouldn't be alive and the two have the same personality. Tsunade lets him do whatever he wants and is his mother figure while Jiraiya is Naruto's father figure.

Last thing the only more useless person than Sakura is Hinata, by far.

I'll skip your last line, cause you obviously missed the recent manga.

Now, back to Kushina and Tsunade.
Well, giving birth was an obvious thing, so I didn't mention it.
Still, INFLUENCE is when people interact - and I don't remember Kushina saying much to Naruto when they finally met.
Maybe I missed something, do correct me.
Now, Tsunade, hmmm.
She's just "there", the same way 80% of characters are "there", without having direct explicit influence on Naruto.
Again, mind bringing actual event examples???

when was sasuke kidnapped...

the story would have been fine without her...she has zero impact, maybe a little on the old naruto... I mean, naruto even isn't eager to be around her at all during this war...it's like they don't even know each other... they barely talk, even...

sakura is simply a representation of some girl Kishimoto liked as a teen who didn't care for kishi cause kishi was sorta lame and unpopular...but now that kishi is famous, he simply is symbolizing that relationship with Naruto and sakura...kishi being the now famous naruto. And the lousy girl is probably reading the manga and can tell right away that she's the useless sakura... I swear this' what's happening in kishi's mind! and she'd be regretting for how she treated kishi in the past.. kishi pls punish her more, i mean sakura

[koshej]

^WOW!!!
Though I doubt Kishi is THAT vengeful, but it made me ROFL.
Anyways, NS doesn't make sense long ago, but some people can't just grow out of it - and thus they force Naruto to be the same.
Wow, I just found their main reason!!!

You must be insanely young, cheer up pal it gets better...plenty of fish in the sea

Sakura does indeed make a good impact on Naruto but not always in the bestest of ways. After the fake confession of love to Naruto to make him stop chasing after sasuke, i got to admit ive lost some respect for her. Still shes an okay character in my book.
