If you're a Naruto fan that supports Sakura Haruno, please read on. Otherwise, I would advise you to turn away and go find yourself an Anti-Sakura rant book. I'm sure you'd fit in perfectly there.
With this...
So I'm on fall break, and so I took this as an opportunity to catch up on some homework AND to rewatch some good ol' Naruto. 😂
So I went back, rewatched the Chunin exam arc, the Zabuza arc, the very first Itachi arc, watched the Naruto Movie Clash in the Land of Snow for the first time (which wasn't as good as, say, The Last or Will of Fire which are still my favorites) but it was still pretty nice.
So after doing some rewatching and also watching for the first time, I've come up with a few things I wanna say:
FIRST: Naruto the Movie Clash in the Land of Snow - Sasuke and Sakura's Combo
The two get more screen time together than I thought they would. One of my favorite moments was towards the end (shouldn't contain any spoilers) when the team's fighting off some Land of Snow ninja. Sasuke and Sakura have somehow been teaming up and fighting together throughout the whole movie. Even from the beginning's first chase scene, the two were working together.
But THIS particular scene not only highlighted how super cool Sakura is (NGL she was SO SO SO amazing and super cool in this fight) but their teamwork and Sasuke's relying on her.
It didn't show at the beginning of this rough clip, but Sasuke was calling to Sakura asking her where the enemies were. This was some real teamwork here that made me proud of these two and that truly, they were teammates before they were lovers.
So if you don't care much about an unstable plot, annoying characters, and just wanna see these to interact, I recommend the movie if you haven't seen it. If you have, hit me up and discuss it with me 😂.
OH let's not forget THIS gem. 😭💙

SECOND: Some Team 7 Healing Symbolism
So this might be long and pretty symbolic, but hear me out. Trust me, it's got some Sakura and SasuSaku implications to it.
So when I was going through some of the mid-series episodes, I came upon one of my favorite filler arcs (the curry of life arc when Naruto goes out to fight another Hidden Mist Swordsman with Lee, Neji, and Tenten).
Towards the start of the episode was Naruto at the Hokage's office passing by Sakura, who was standing on a balcony there at the office. He went to see what she was doing and she was holding a bird that, she explained, she was trying to heal.
Soon after that, the bird was able to fly. Naruto was super excited for her, but she was still slightly concerned that although the bird was healed, it was cut off from its friends. Soon after she said that, the bird met up with two other birds, they flew around for a bit, and left. After that, Sakura and Naruto looked at each other and smiled.
