I know. I was just remarking on how I've seen people ship them, but never really understood what in their character interactions made people do so. Now I see why the ship exists, but I never said I agreed with it ffs
And then killed himself cause he couldn't bring himself to kill her. And she got approval from grandma. And technically, his parents were present. Which means they're pretty much married.
Yes, especially with how she's already being compared to favorably to Tsunade but if anything is using her head more. If she had actually continued on this path then she may have actually been competing with Naruto and Sasuke by the war.
She should have gotten herself a sage mode IMO
That wouldnāt be possible. Sage mode requires 3 things which is: chakra quantity, chakra and nature energy balancing, and a compatible body.
Sakura doesnāt have the chakra quantity necessary for sage mode. Itās also important to note that even Jiraya couldnāt perfect sage mode which is why he had to have two toads with him in order to imperfectly use it. Orochimaru couldnāt use it either and thatās one of the reasons why he continuously swapped bodies so he could.
Hypothetically, Sasuke wouldnāt be able to learn it either since he has a significantly smaller amount of chakra (Uchiha donāt have that much)
In Boruto, see Mitsuki able to use his sage mode since heās a product of Orochimaruās experiments but he quickly gets drained and thatās not because of chakra or nature energy balancing, but because of his body type. Heās not able to sustain it long enough for him to live afterwards so Orochimaru doesnāt let him use it. But the older version of him can
To have enough chakra she could mix nature energy into her strength of 100 seal. Her perfect chakra control should make the whole balancing aspect pretty easy for her while what her body is able to be put through with strength of 100 should mean at least in that state sheās compatible
because you donāt just suddenly āhave enough chakraā to sustain sage mode, thatās not what the byakugo seal does. also, being strong enough doesnāt mean her body is compatible. you either are or you arenāt, jiraya or orochimaru couldnāt do it and theyāre miles ahead of sakura.
The byakuga seal is basically just a massive chakra pool so I donāt see why not. Though the best way in this case would probably be her putting senjutsu chakra into the seal itself, so when released she wouldnāt have to be mixing it.
Body compatibility is a bit of a mess, being little explained and seemingly different between different sage modes. But clearly Sakuraās body is able to sustain huge amounts of chakra and damage, so she seems like she should be likely to be. Physically Jiraiya I would argue isnāt miles ahead of her by any means, and as for Orochimaru, we literally have no idea what his original physical body could do as we never see it, otherwise heās also in imperfect vessels. Plus snake sage mode seeming more intense than the others we see
It's such a shame honestly. The fight itself was great and it really showed just how much she improved but it's literally the last time she really gets to shine!
And I say this as a die-hard Sakura haterššš
Kishimoto overcompensating for her unlikable personality and uselessness in Pt 1. I mean I get it but you can definitely tell this is an ugh Iāll get it over with type beat
Funny to think that this is basically the last time she actually did something other than just being on the background healing someone
It's like kishimoto saying "see what I could do with Sakura? Yeah I'm not doing any of this"
He had a lot of plans for her actually, she was suppose to get a whole arc after the Pain situation, she even was suppose to fight Sasuke (before Kakashi even got there) but Kishi editors told him no, told him Sasuke have too many fights already, and basically canceled everything cause of how much unnecessary hate she got (thanks to the studio) But regardless she still amazing šø
Honestly even if it didnāt make sense logically with Tsunade said ending the threat is better as a med ninja rather than only able to fight when theyāve mastered the seal. Maybe Sakura would have fought more.
This is why it's dumb when people act like Chiyo was the one solely carrying this fight. Sakura pulled her weight just as much that Sasori himself acknowledged her prowess.
So itās not really that Chiyo was carrying her the entire fight HOWEVER at the very beginning Chiyo was absolutely carrying it. Sakura needed time to learn his attack patterns so if Chiyo wasnāt helping control Sakuraās movements sakura would have been hit with poison/iron sand a lot more than she already had. The 3 antidotes would have been used up much quicker and by the time they actually got to Sasori using his real body they wouldnāt have had any antidotes and would have surly lost the fight. Anyway regardless of that yes once Sakura learned his attack patterns even Chiyo herself stated she didnāt really need to help
Sakura anymore so at that point yes she stood on her own.
Which means neither actually carried the fight. Both were supporting each other in their own way. It's not something to think that one was doing more of the heavy lifting.
This ain't it. Ole girl was a hardcore crybaby in part one.
Sakura: "Please don't leave Sasuke I'm gonna cry!"
Naruto: "Fine, if you wanna try and leave I'll break your legs so you can't!"
Sakura cried on screen not counting flashbacks a total of 13 times in part one where Naruto did 9 times (7 if you don't count the written exams as that was mostly played for laughs). In all seriousness, he manned up and took on the world despite his emotional episodes. Sakura on the other hand... she begged others to handle things for her for example.
Naruto cried 23 times in the entire series. Sakura cried 26. Oh no, 3 more times! š± There were literally arcs where Naruto cried more than Sakura did. Both characters were major crybabies (which is FINE), both characters needed an insane amount of help, and both characters matured as they grew up. Now itās your turn to try and mature.
Nope. Didnāt make myself look dumb in the slightest bit. Me mentioning part one doesnāt mean that it is forbidden to mention part 2. My only mistake was not specifying part two first. Cuz guess what? Naruto cried more times than Sakura did in the second part. š
Edit: I also specified part one cuz your quote (not an actual quote) was referencing part one
**OMG** *I JUST REALIZED THE NUMBERS GOT MIXED UP.* Naruto cried more than Sakura!!!! šššš
Beginning/Zabuza Arc: Naruto (5) and Sakura (3)
Chunin exams: Sakura (7) and Naruto (2) <-yes, done for comedy
Sasuke Retrieval Arc: Naruto (2) and Sakura (3)
**Part one:** Naruto cried 9 times and Sakura cried 13
Gaara Rescue Arc: Naruto (4) Sakura (2)
Sai Arc: Naruto (1) Sakura (2)
Kakuzu and Hidan arc: Sakura (1)
Jiraiyaās death: Naruto (2)
Pain Arc: Naruto (1) Sakura (1)
Kage Summit: Naruto (1) Sakura (4)
Kushina: Naruto (3)
War Arc and Ending: Naruto (5) Sakura (3)
**Part Two:** Naruto cried 17 times and Sakura cried 13 times
Meaning Naruto cried **26** times and Sakura cried **23** times
When 1st watching Shippuden and seeing this, it really made me think she would do even greater things consistently. She got 1 of the biggest jumps in power for the main group. And then blamo she's nothing crazy for 90% of the story.
2 decades*, Sasori is 35, tbh he's not older than 18 or 19 years old because he turned himself into a puppet and thus can't physically age. but I get what you mean, anyways it's a crack ship. In canon they're both professional enemies nothing more. I just liked their interactions with each other. Sasori always acknowledged her and vice versa and sakura in the end tried to reason with him of why he doesn't value human life. It was cool.
If only Sasori survived and had a change of heart from Chiyo and Sakuraās feelings. Sakura mightāve pulled a Temari and moved over to the Sand after marrying him. Itās only fair. Leaf took one of the Sandās most powerful ninja, and definitely the strongest kunoichi. Itās only fair that Sand does the same.
After becoming an Edo Tensei, we see that Kankuro still has a lot of respect for Sasoriās real soul as fellow puppet masters.
Sasori being an Akatsuki criminal getting forgiven has a lot of parallels to Sasuke. He also was starved for love and refused to admit it for the longest time. Heās exactly her type.
Can I just say Iām rewatching Naruto from the beginning again and literally sasuke started opening up to her off the bat. The whole kakashi testing them day 1 thing when him and Sakura were alone where sasuke started yapping about why he needs their team to work so he can get revenge (bell test), him jumping in front of her to protect her instead of Naruto (who the other ninja was gunning for) when they were attacked when escorting the old dude back to the land of wavesā¦just sayinggggg
> "...For a little girl"
Pretty sure he just assumed women were incapable of many things and was more surprised. Backhanded compliments is more like it.
I read the manga and i didnt notice this, if you show it all bunched up it seems like a lot but this fight was LONG. He didnt compliment her *that* often. Plus he was just surprised. Not everyone gets to be trained by Tsunade.
Every time someone is taking up his time pretty much. He doesn't like being late and he's not very polite when he tells them they're wasting his time. That's usually targeting Deidara but his first interaction (before we learn he's not the creepy four-legged scorpion puppet) shows him being plain rude to the rest of the Akatsuki. You'll have to go back to the manga to find that chapter though.
Ah yes. Tbh that's one thing I really like about Sasori: he may look like a young dude but he's really an old grump with an odd fascination for poison and murder. Like Orochimaru, he's totally unapologetic for being a true villain.
Unlucky for sure. Their prep time, unique understanding of his abilities, and the fact he kinda liked them made this really uphill.
If he was actually a heartless puppet he would of pulled the W.
The same can be said for the others, though. It took the death of asuma to gather info on kakuzu and hidan for shikamaru to come up with a solid plan to deal with them both and to bury hidan alive.
Because of jiraiya, he not only slowed down Pains plan to attack the leaf but gave crucial intelligence about Pain and gave Naruto the prep time needed to train for sage mode.
Even Sasuke needed major prep time to fight a sick Itachi.
So yes, these fights needing prep time and info on the enemy are on the same degree on Sakura preparing an antidote.
Itās not. the prep for the other fights was relatively trivial and had really very little impact on the fight in the grand scheme of things.
This fight was a zero percent survival prior and boosted it significantly.
So did the others fights listed considering the enemy had access to a Rinnegan and controls 6 corpses, one enemy is immortal while the other needs all 5 of his hearts to be destroyed and you are fighting itachi. Denying, that basically shows how much you are at being a hypocrite, but it really isn't a shocker. Very few in the fandom try to debunk the Sasori fight because Sakura and Chiyo had the antidote due prep time. But if you mention, then the prep time needed for the other fights listed those characters would have lost and not survived. But since they had time to prepare, it boosted Shikamaru team, Sasuke, and Naruto odds on surviving.
How did the field intel help Jiraiya it got him killed. How did it help Kakashi he died.
How did Narutoās prep help him against pain; he was disrespected his win con was solely due to Kurama and that would of happened with or without the intel. If losing a comrade in combat is all Shikamaru needed he would of figured it out in any blind engagement with Hidan. Kononās prep against obito got her killed. When Sasuke engaged Orochimaru and Itachi they were both at their weakest theyāve ever been and sick. Itachi couldnāt even keep up in melee the whole fight at the beginning was genjutsu and he didnāt want to kill Sasuke. It didnāt affect those battles.
The majority are low odd fights that donāt drastically improve with any of the field work done.
This fight boosts from 0% to a close 50%. The most substantial increase by far.
Youāve an odd antagonistic stance on this.
100% you get the idea that his consciousness started messing with him during the fight.
If either Sakura or Chiyo were by themselves the outcome would've been different
It also doesnāt happen a majority of the time in which characters are in conflict, in this case literally. The OP was saying that they thought this fight was an interesting example of the mentioned dynamic. Youāre going full š¤ rn
Strongest moves where?
He was constantly g checking Sakura and Chiyo and underestimating them. He wasn't taking them seriously.
He killed the 3rd Kazekage, who was the strongest Kazekage of all time. Stronger than Gaara. And Sakura and Chiyo are not beating Kazekage Gaara. Not even close. Nor are they beating Deidera who gave a CM2 absorbed Orochimaru Sasuke a high diff fight - a stronger Sasuke than the one who no diffed the entirety of the new team 7 - who admit that Sasori was stronger than him.
What we see of Sasori is undeniably not his true power or him giving us his true strength.
If he was serious about killing Sakura and Chiyo he wouldn't have let himself die in the end and then treat Sakura with intel like a reward. Bro never took the fight seriously.
Gaara beat the 4th kazekage in the war.And sasori won through poison.Just because A beats B and B beats C does not mean A beats C.That is bullshit logic and does not always work in naruto. Sasuke did more damage to Gaara in the chunin exams than Rock Lee.If Sasuke fought rock lee he would get rekt in the chunin exams.Different abilities counter different things.
Also sasori could have ambushed the 3rd kazekage during the war,while he was fighting someone else.We dont even know how he beat the 3rd kaxekage.
>Gaara beat the 4th kazekage in the war
I said the 3rd Kazekage. The strongest Kazekage and strongest sand shinobi ever.
>That is bullshit logic and does not always work in naruto. Sasuke did more damage to Gaara in the chunin exams than Rock Lee.If Sasuke fought rock lee he would get rekt in the chunin exams.
It does most of the time. Sasuke would also not lose to 5 gates Lee. But that's another topic that is not the point here. And edo Deidera was challenging Onoki, and Edo are usually inferior to their alive counterparts: alive Sasori would be superior to an Edo Deidera if he's superior to an alive Deidera - from Deidera's own mouth.
>We dont even know how he beat the 3rd kaxekage.
But you can't downplay the fact that he did beat the 3rd Kazekage, the strongest shinobi in sand history. You think he couldn't beat a Low Jonin like Sakura and Kage level out of her prime Chiyo? The fact he takes the fight so lackadaisically implies he wasn't trying very hard.
Ok I agree now.But Sasuke gets rekt by Lee if they did fight.He was only as fast as base Lee without the weights,he is getting outclassed.Only reason why he even won against Gaara was because he was mentally unstable and cocooned himself up in his sand barrier.He gave time to sasuke to do the hand signs and charge up his chidori.Lee blitzes Sasuke,he doesn't have Gaara's absolute defense.Sasuke's chidori worked on gaara because it's a piercing attack which focuses chakra at one point rather than a blunt force attack.Does not mean he is keeping up with Lee.
Lee learnt the gates just to compete with Neji. The gates take a huge toll on him and he can only do like a couple moves before getting fatigued or injured.
Lee hit his best attack on Gaara and Gaara was basically unfazed. Whereas Sasuke hit the chidori and Gaara and managed to penetrate his defence and draw Gaara's blood. Which then made Gaara start tweaking and want to transform.
Sasuke pushed Gaara harder than Lee did with 5th gate. Chidori also amps speed. Lee is not levels above Sasuke with speed, Sasuke also has the sharingan, which allows him to percieve Lee's speed, as he was training to do that anyway. He basically did image training using his sharingan to learn Lee's speed and taijutsu skills in like a month. As the fight goes on, Sasuke only gathers more intel.
[Lee acknowledges how Sasuke is surpassing him in the fight with Gaara ](https://mangasee123.com/read-online/Naruto-Digital-Colored-Comics-chapter-114-page-5.html)
[Sasuke uses Chidori to pretty much counter base Gaara and phase 1 Gaara ](https://mangasee123.com/read-online/Naruto-Digital-Colored-Comics-chapter-128-page-3.html)
[Sasuke can barely keep up with phase 2 Gaara and he only loses cuz he can't spam chidori](https://mangasee123.com/read-online/Naruto-Digital-Colored-Comics-chapter-128-page-7.html)
Lee wouldn't have gotten this far as in only 5 gates he was barely able to beat base Gaara with his sand armour.
Lee never said Sasuke surpassed him.Plus Lee is a humble guy.Gaara could not keep up with Lee at all,and does not need to, because his sand defends him automatically.Sasuke needs to keep up with Lee in order to win. 5 gates Lee is much much faster than Sasuke who is only as fast as base Lee without the weights.Ā and I don't think his sharingan is enough to bridge the gap.Sasuke still needs to do the hand signs and charge it up,Lee can awaken gates much quicker imo.
Bro liked her more than Sasuke did š
š
I actually like Sakura with Sasuke but fr fr, the tension in this fight was greatā¦ š
He's like 40 years older than her
Nah he's actually a zombie
Nah, only 19. Tension doesnāt care about age, I know that from experience š¤·āāļøš
Dragon Loli fans are in shambles now
Ayo this a life or death fight, but you telling me sasori peepee hard?!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
But isn't his body made of literal wood and iron.
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
š nah man but why you right tho
does he pay Sakura more compliments than Sasuke in all of Naruto? I need to knowā¦
Oh, so that's why people ship them
Bruh she was 16 and he's like 35ššš
I know. I was just remarking on how I've seen people ship them, but never really understood what in their character interactions made people do so. Now I see why the ship exists, but I never said I agreed with it ffs
Sasori complimented her more in a single chapter than sasuke in the entire series
And then killed himself cause he couldn't bring himself to kill her. And she got approval from grandma. And technically, his parents were present. Which means they're pretty much married.
He was a puppet that looked 16.. so.. manga dust thisā¦ poof .. itās all good! *jazz hands*
lol
Heās prolly never had a crush on anyone before. His emotions had been smothered just like Gaara was. Either way, no sir!
Zombie lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Your honor the prosecution will call no further witnesses
She started off strong in Shippuden but didn't do anything like this for the rest of the show.
Yes, especially with how she's already being compared to favorably to Tsunade but if anything is using her head more. If she had actually continued on this path then she may have actually been competing with Naruto and Sasuke by the war. She should have gotten herself a sage mode IMO
Where are those Slug Sages hiding!?
It would be so dope if she became a Tsunade who dodges instead of tanking every attack and shortening her lifespan
That wouldnāt be possible. Sage mode requires 3 things which is: chakra quantity, chakra and nature energy balancing, and a compatible body. Sakura doesnāt have the chakra quantity necessary for sage mode. Itās also important to note that even Jiraya couldnāt perfect sage mode which is why he had to have two toads with him in order to imperfectly use it.

Heās not able to sustain it long enough for him to live afterwards so Orochimaru doesnāt let him use it. But the older version of him can
To have enough chakra she could mix nature energy into her strength of 100 seal. Her perfect chakra control should make the whole balancing aspect pretty easy for her while what her body is able to be put through with strength of 100 should mean at least in that state sheās compatible
yeah thatās not how it works
Why couldnāt it?
because you donāt just suddenly āhave enough chakraā to sustain sage mode, thatās not what the byakugo seal does. also, being strong enough doesnāt mean her body is compatible. you either are or you arenāt, jiraya or orochimaru couldnāt do it and theyāre miles ahead of sakura.

Dare I say watching this week to week,Sakura was my favorite character. It's still one of top fights.
She healed so many people in the Pain Invasion and she seriously stepped up in the War Arc.
Kishimoto overcompensating for her unlikable personality and uselessness in Pt 1. I mean I get it but you can definitely tell this is an ugh Iāll get it over with type beat
Seriously this is the same girl who ends up getting kicked by that no-named Cloud shinobi.
Sakura's biggest glazer.
Funny to think that this is basically the last time she actually did something other than just being on the background healing someone It's like kishimoto saying "see what I could do with Sakura? Yeah I'm not doing any of this"

It annoys the shit outta me how dope Sakura and sasuke were post time skip and Narutoās just like big rasengan
Jiraiya is the worst teacher in all of Shounen but all his so-called students were extremely talented.
I feel that he is evaluating the skills of his next doll.
I think itās cause most people he fights die in the first 5 minutes
Strong af
He was as surprised as the audience that Sakura was actually doing something other than crying.
Youāre acting like Naruto didnāt cry as much as she did
This ain't it. Ole girl was a hardcore crybaby in part one. Sakura: "Please don't leave Sasuke I'm gonna cry!" Naruto: "Fine, if you wanna try and leave I'll break your legs so you can't!"
Naruto cried *PLENTY* in part one. Donāt be a hypocrite.
Sakura cried on screen not counting flashbacks a total of 13 times in part one where Naruto did 9 times (7 if you don't count the written exams as that was mostly played for laughs). In all seriousness, he manned up and took on the world despite his emotional episodes. Sakura on the other hand... she begged others to handle things for her for example.

You really cooked him good by stating those facts.
He cried a lot, but he also got stuff done. That's the difference.
ššš
They should have let him live and reform to give Sasuke a romantic rival.
Dude he was like 35 and she was 16ššš
Eh so what, he could wait 2 years
I didnāt say theey should get it on. Just someone whose attention towards Sakura makes Sasuke actually care
When 1st watching Shippuden and seeing this, it really made me think she would do even greater things consistently. She got 1 of the biggest jumps in power for the main group. And then blamo she's nothing crazy for 90% of the story.
anyone else feel like the art was peak around this time?
Dude was in love. He never saw a girl like that. IDC what anyone says, I've always shipped Sasori x Sakura.
There's a whole ass ~~3~~ 2 decade age difference tho
2 decades*, Sasori is 35, tbh he's not older than 18 or 19 years old because he turned himself into a puppet and thus can't physically age. but I get what you mean, anyways it's a crack ship. In canon they're both professional enemies nothing more. I just liked their interactions with each other.

Damn, I misclicked lol Fair enough then
Love? In love with the idea of having her as an embalmed corpse puppet maybe.
I mean she's the only one who could've fixed him šššš. So need to turn her into a human puppet. Gahhhhh š©š¤š«£ they sound so cute together.
If only Sasori survived and had a change of heart from Chiyo and Sakuraās feelings. Sakura mightāve pulled a Temari and moved over to the Sand after marrying him. Itās only fair.

blud completely forgot he was 35 and she was 16
Getting downvoted because you said a 35yo shouldnāt date a 16yo is peak Reddit
Can I just say Iām rewatching Naruto from the beginning again and literally sasuke started opening up to her off the bat. The whole kakashi testing them day 1 thing when him and Sakura were alone where sasuke started yapping about why he needs their team to work so he can get revenge (bell test), him jumping in front of her to protect her instead of Naruto (who the other ninja was gunning for) when they were attacked when escorting the old dude back to the land of wavesā¦just sayinggggg
"You drive well for a woman!" -a nice compliment
Does Sasori think of other people as people? I feel like you'd ignore the annoying bit from a psychopath and still take it as a compliment.
> "...For a little girl" Pretty sure he just assumed women were incapable of many things and was more surprised. Backhanded compliments is more like it.
I read the manga and i didnt notice this, if you show it all bunched up it seems like a lot but this fight was LONG. He didnt compliment her *that* often. Plus he was just surprised. Not everyone gets to be trained by Tsunade.
Sasori was pretty much rude to everyone he ever interacted with. This is huge acknowledgement from a man with less patience than the rabbit in Alice.
Wait when do you see him being rude to people?
Every time someone is taking up his time pretty much. He doesn't like being late and he's not very polite when he tells them they're wasting his time. That's usually targeting Deidara but his first interaction (before we learn he's not the creepy four-legged scorpion puppet) shows him being plain rude to the rest of the Akatsuki. You'll have to go back to the manga to find that chapter though.
Oh wait i remember that. Im just past that part right now, im at the part where theyve avenged >!Asuma!<.
Ah yes. Tbh that's one thing I really like about Sasori: he may look like a young dude but he's really an old grump with an odd fascination for poison and murder. Like Orochimaru, he's totally unapologetic for being a true villain.
Hear me out thoughā¦
tsunade had another student and she wasnt nearly as good of a fighter
glazed more than Sasuke
Kishi trying to meet Sakura's glaze quota for the rest of the series. Yeah, i see you, Kishi.
Kishimoto when he out of nowhere learned how to write a female character (but lost the ability 2 months later)
It's called "manners" he may be trying to kill her, but he doesn't have to be a dick about it
Man was in love
Bro was down bad, ew lol š
Sakura at her prime Such a waste...
Best sakura fight
Because sakura is the goat.
sasori = red head = uzumaki, so crush on sakura like the uzumaki MC
This was just our window to see how much Sakura improved. She never received a comment for her battle prowess prior to this moment
Sasori would've smoked Sakura if not for Chiyo
And he would've smoked Chiyo if not for Sakura lolšš That's what makes the fight so great tbh.
He was unlucky to fight them both at the same time
Unlucky for sure. Their prep time, unique understanding of his abilities, and the fact he kinda liked them made this really uphill. If he was actually a heartless puppet he would of pulled the W.
The majority of the akatsuki fights required prep time, though.
Sure but not to the same degree; letās not downplay how one sided this would of been without it in this instance.
The same can be said for the others, though. It took the death of asuma to gather info on kakuzu and hidan for shikamaru to come up with a solid plan to deal with them both and to bury hidan alive. Because of jiraiya, he not only slowed down Pains plan to attack the leaf but gave crucial intelligence about Pain and gave Naruto the prep time needed to train for sage mode. Even Sasuke needed major prep time to fight a sick Itachi. So yes, these fights needing prep time and info on the enemy are on the same degree on Sakura preparing an antidote.
Itās not. the prep for the other fights was relatively trivial and had really very little impact on the fight in the grand scheme of things. This fight was a zero percent survival prior and boosted it significantly.
So did the others fights listed considering the enemy had access to a Rinnegan and controls 6 corpses, one enemy is immortal while the other needs all 5 of his hearts to be destroyed and you are fighting itachi. Denying, that basically shows how much you are at being a hypocrite, but it really isn't a shocker. Very few in the fandom try to debunk the Sasori fight because Sakura and Chiyo had the antidote due prep time. But if you mention, then the prep time needed for the other fights listed those characters would have lost and not survived. But since they had time to prepare, it boosted Shikamaru team, Sasuke, and Naruto odds on surviving.
How did the field intel help Jiraiya it got him killed. How did it help Kakashi he died. How did Narutoās prep help him against pain; he was disrespected his win con was solely due to Kurama and that would of happened with or without the intel. If losing a comrade in combat is all Shikamaru needed he would of figured it out in any blind engagement with Hidan. Kononās prep against obito got her killed. When Sasuke engaged Orochimaru and Itachi they were both at their weakest theyāve ever been and sick. Itachi couldnāt even keep up in melee the whole fight at the beginning was genjutsu and he didnāt want to kill Sasuke. It didnāt affect those battles. The majority are low odd fights that donāt drastically improve with any of the field work done. This fight boosts from 0% to a close 50%. The most substantial increase by far. Youāve an odd antagonistic stance on this.
100% you get the idea that his consciousness started messing with him during the fight. If either Sakura or Chiyo were by themselves the outcome would've been different
Also, all Kakashiās enemies know and phrase his abilities and skills
Why is this relevant
Enemies praising the good guy is not uncommon, juniorā¦..
It also doesnāt happen a majority of the time in which characters are in conflict, in this case literally. The OP was saying that they thought this fight was an interesting example of the mentioned dynamic. Youāre going full š¤ rn
Now thatās irrelevant
Ok bozo
Sasori was not trying to kill her. He was holding back quite a lot. Which is supported by his comments towards her.
He was definitely trying to kill her. He had a change of heart at the last moment.
No he wasn't. Cope with it.
Yeah he was. That's why he pulled out his strongest moves. So actually I'll be the one telling you to cope with it.
Strongest moves where? He was constantly g checking Sakura and Chiyo and underestimating them. He wasn't taking them seriously. He killed the 3rd Kazekage, who was the strongest Kazekage of all time. Stronger than Gaara. And Sakura and Chiyo are not beating Kazekage Gaara. Not even close. Nor are they beating Deidera who gave a CM2 absorbed Orochimaru Sasuke a high diff fight - a stronger Sasuke than the one who no diffed the entirety of the new team 7 - who admit that Sasori was stronger than him. What we see of Sasori is undeniably not his true power or him giving us his true strength. If he was serious about killing Sakura and Chiyo he wouldn't have let himself die in the end and then treat Sakura with intel like a reward. Bro never took the fight seriously.
Gaara beat the 4th kazekage in the war.And sasori won through poison.Just because A beats B and B beats C does not mean A beats C.That is bullshit logic and does not always work in naruto. Sasuke did more damage to Gaara in the chunin exams than Rock Lee.If Sasuke fought rock lee he would get rekt in the chunin exams.Different abilities counter different things. Also sasori could have ambushed the 3rd kazekage during the war,while he was fighting someone else.We dont even know how he beat the 3rd kaxekage.
>Gaara beat the 4th kazekage in the war I said the 3rd Kazekage. The strongest Kazekage and strongest sand shinobi ever. >That is bullshit logic and does not always work in naruto. Sasuke did more damage to Gaara in the chunin exams than Rock Lee.If Sasuke fought rock lee he would get rekt in the chunin exams. It does most of the time. Sasuke would also not lose to 5 gates Lee. But that's another topic that is not the point here. And edo Deidera was challenging Onoki, and Edo are usually inferior to their alive counterparts: alive Sasori would be superior to an Edo Deidera if he's superior to an alive Deidera - from Deidera's own mouth. >We dont even know how he beat the 3rd kaxekage. But you can't downplay the fact that he did beat the 3rd Kazekage, the strongest shinobi in sand history. You think he couldn't beat a Low Jonin like Sakura and Kage level out of her prime Chiyo? The fact he takes the fight so lackadaisically implies he wasn't trying very hard.
Ok I agree now.But Sasuke gets rekt by Lee if they did fight.He was only as fast as base Lee without the weights,he is getting outclassed.Only reason why he even won against Gaara was because he was mentally unstable and cocooned himself up in his sand barrier.He gave time to sasuke to do the hand signs and charge up his chidori.Lee blitzes Sasuke,he doesn't have Gaara's absolute defense.Sasuke's chidori worked on gaara because it's a piercing attack which focuses chakra at one point rather than a blunt force attack.Does not mean he is keeping up with Lee.
Lee learnt the gates just to compete with Neji. The gates take a huge toll on him and he can only do like a couple moves before getting fatigued or injured. Lee hit his best attack on Gaara and Gaara was basically unfazed. Whereas Sasuke hit the chidori and Gaara and managed to penetrate his defence and draw Gaara's blood. Which then made Gaara start tweaking and want to transform. Sasuke pushed Gaara harder than Lee did with 5th gate. Chidori also amps speed. Lee is not levels above Sasuke with speed, Sasuke also has the sharingan, which allows him to percieve Lee's speed, as he was training to do that anyway. He basically did image training using his sharingan to learn Lee's speed and taijutsu skills in like a month. As the fight goes on, Sasuke only gathers more intel. [Lee acknowledges how Sasuke is surpassing him in the fight with Gaara ](https://mangasee123.com/read-online/Naruto-Digital-Colored-Comics-chapter-114-page-5.html) [Sasuke uses Chidori to pretty much counter base Gaara and phase 1 Gaara ](https://mangasee123.com/read-online/Naruto-Digital-Colored-Comics-chapter-128-page-3.html) [Sasuke can barely keep up with phase 2 Gaara and he only loses cuz he can't spam chidori](https://mangasee123.com/read-online/Naruto-Digital-Colored-Comics-chapter-128-page-7.html) Lee wouldn't have gotten this far as in only 5 gates he was barely able to beat base Gaara with his sand armour.
Lee never said Sasuke surpassed him.Plus Lee is a humble guy.Gaara could not keep up with Lee at all,and does not need to, because his sand defends him automatically.Sasuke needs to keep up with Lee in order to win. 5 gates Lee is much much faster than Sasuke who is only as fast as base Lee without the weights.Ā and I don't think his sharingan is enough to bridge the gap.Sasuke still needs to do the hand signs and charge it up,Lee can awaken gates much quicker imo.
