Sakura and Sasuke honestly ruined the series. At least half of the objectively bad writing the manga had, would disappear if those two never existed. Naruto needs a reboot with a better focus and no Sasuke or Sakura.

No, Sasuke was doing pretty well until his brother mindfucked him. Sakura however was always extremely worthless and her doing something in final battle seems forced

Dude naruto's strength was it had great characters, that includes sakura and sasuke.
It became shit with shippuden, while naruto (first series) was about hard work beating talent shippuden threw that out the window. It just became a generic shonen after that.The mcs would get more and more powers while the rest of the cast was eating their dust(sasuke and naruto)

t. shitnatafaggot

Sakura just needed character improvement or a whole new personality.

Sakura wasn't relevant enough to ruin anything and Sasuke was off doing his own thing for the majority of the series, neither one is responsible for anything. That said the only good character in team seven is Kakashi and the manga would be better if it was about him. Of course given that much more screen time Kishi would likely have just made him suck too.

>was supposed to be cheerleader that gets shell shocked into being a tomboyish older figure sister for naruto
>remains a useless damsel in distress willing to put everyones life including her own at risk for dick
How is Kishimoto THIS bad at writing female characters? How can he be this incompetent?

Doesn't Kishi hate Sakura?

no, he just thinks women are lesser, you can see almost all girls in naruto are done in the same way, they're dumb, vain and always revolve around man.

the only ones get a bit more effort are moms and elderly ones, but still a pretty shalow one

So just create a completely new character?

Basically. Keep the character design but with long hair and big tits.

Without Sakura and Sasuke, the manga would be cancelled after 3 or 4 tankoubon at best for low readership

Naruto was NEVER about hard work beating talent, including all of part one. Sure, characters talk about the concept, but they're proven wrong at every opportunity. There's literally ONE fight in the ENTIRE SERIES where hard work beats talent, Lee's fight with Sauske before the chunin exams.

Well, he's not wrong

>naruto (first series) was about hard work beating talent
No it wasn't

You're an assblasted faggot from the another thread.

He's not that bad at writing female characters, he's that bad at writing characters period. That's why he organizes almost everyone who matters into a Naruto/Sasuke style rivalry. His chicks just seem worse because he doesn't even give enough of a shit about them to give them a solid action scene. If Sakura had ever been allowed a clean 1v1 victory against an antagonist she'd get way less hate.

Because you see girls same way he does.

>If Sakura had ever been allowed a clean 1v1 victory against an antagonist she'd get way less hate.
I don't think so. Her personality is a big reason she's disliked on Yea Forums.

Please. Sakara isn't hated because she's useless. Hinata and Ino are also useless and nobody minds them. Sakura gets hate because shes fucking stupid, and arguably a bad person.

>. Hinata and Ino are also useless
yea but ino and hinata are side characters. sakura is the heroine. not like it matters. its her personality that needed work.

there you go

Naruto's story was still pretty bad considering that he was going through Sasuke withdrawal for a large portion of the series. I was just disgusted that Naruto cucked out to Obito (His parents killer and the reason why his life was so miserable) to the point where he said he wanted to be just like him. The Akatsuki and Madara were still cool though.

>arguably a bad person
Why? Because she thought the MC was ugly and didn’t want to suck his dick?

Her being a "bad person" it's subjective.

He's the coolest guy!

>Because she thought the MC was ugly and didn’t want to suck his dick?
No. I didn't even ship Naruto with her.

can you name an anime where this is not the case ...

So why is she “arguably a bad person”?

That user didn't mean if you ship it or not. The thing is that if she was depicted as the female mc after the MC dick, she wouldn't have faggots autistic hate towards her.

>Sasuke was doing pretty well until his brother mindfucked him

But he was mindfucked from the start. Is this some lowkey shade?

>kills your parents
>destroys the leaf
>makes your best friend an emo
>destroys the leaf again by sending out pain
>starts ww2
>kill your other friend who died protecting you from him
>almost kills every member of the allied shinobi forces with a tailed beast bomb
>constantly tries to personally kill you and your friends
>after your dad is resurrected he insults him and calls him trash for dying when he was the one who killed him
To Me...He Was The Coolest Guy!!

years of the same joke is just not good writing.

Because she's willing to undermine the safety and feelings of the people who support and protect her for the sake of chasing some shithead's dick.

>if she was depicted as the female mc after the MC dick, she wouldn't have faggots autistic hate towards her.
I don't really think so. I think Sakura just needed to not be so harsh and mean to Naruto. No one is saying she needed to return his feelings, but she didn't have to hit him or snap at him the way she did.

Gee, maybe people think her character is fucking joke because despite being the heroine, she doesn't hold any REAL narrative weight. Hell, I don't even need to mention Naruto and Sasuke. Let's look at Kakashi, his relationship with Obito was a pivotal narrative point in Part II? What about Sakura? Nothing, zilch, nada. She could be replaced with another character, and very little would change. Not to mention she has no problem being a bitch especially to Naruto, but when it come's to Sasuke, she becomes a timid little thing.

That's a big part of it. Like, compare her to Ino. Ino shits on shikamaru and choji when they act like lazy thoughtless dickheads, and supports them when they pull through and do cool shit. Sakura, even post time skip, screams at and embarases naruto in public for tiny shit like misunderstsnding what someone ssid or acting too informally, and she doesn't seem to notice or care much when he makes progress with his abilities or sticks his neck out for a friend. It's almost always a gag but it's not very funny.

You can't say this. Sakurafags will get upset and deflect to their "H-Hinatafag" boogeyman whether or not someone is a Hinatafag.

Well that's just the thing! Who WOULDN'T be a hinatafag? Even the fucking anime producers were hinatafags!

>Sakurafags will get upset
I don't give a shit. The Sakurafags on Yea Forums are fucking delusional. They all think she gets flak because she wasn't lusting after Naruto or because she wasn't submissive (even though her interactions with Sasuke tell a different story) like Hinata, but it has nothing to do with any of that. She's get flak because she's not an important character, sure she has the heroine title, but she doesn't have any real narrative weight and this is something that can't refuted. Along with the fact that she had a really awful personality. Not to mention how her love for Sasuke is something that made no reason, especially with how bad he constantly treated her.

>inb4 sasuke treated naruto like trash too!
Yes, but they had an actual bond. They actually connected with each other, and connected deeper than with anyone else. It's understandable why Naruto would never give up on him, especially since they're basically destiny brothers.

>Who WOULDN'T be a hinatafag?
Serious answer? Females with terrible personalities who are self-inserting.

>The Sakurafags on Yea Forums are fucking delusional.
Were you in the thread recently when they did the vote and it was like 40 votes for Hinata and 2/3 votes for Sakura?

That really should be something Sakurafags are aware of. This is predominately a Hinata board, they can argue all they want but it would be the same if Hinatafags from this board went to Tumblr to complain Tumblr having a Sakurafag presence.

>This is predominately a Hinata board,
Naruto threads were always for Hinata. She was the underdog to anons on here which is why her victory was celebrated the way it was.

Nauto's obsession with sauske is more forgivable than Sakura because Naruto's compullsion was to save him from evil, not to ride his dick. His line at their fight at the valley of the end makes this much clear, "I'll break all your bones and drag you home if I have to". You could even make the argument that it's more about proving that he could save his friend then the act of actually doing it.

based

>Assumes they like Hinata

You're all kinds of insecure and retarded user...

Mitsuki>>>>Boruto>Sarada>Kakashi>>>Naruto>>>>Sasuke>>>>>>>>>>>Yamato>>>>>>>>>Sai>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Sakura

Yeah they didn't stick with it all the way through but come on,we didn't know anything about naruto. He was some low life with no parents,had no gifts(mr. fox wasn't a big deal back then)was a dimwit who worked hard but still failed.
Naruto gives a long speech at any opportunity he can about hard work over talent.
It was written as sasuke (gifted genius) vs naruto (talentless fool)
The author screwed up when the show became more popular

yea i always found that part weird. kishimoto never had anyone personally fuck with his family so we can see were he doesnt have any experience of a natural reaction in that field. it should be
>KILL
>KILL
>KILL
>once kill, take body and mince and dice and burn until ashes then mix ashes in cow shit

or ironically just how obito acted when rin died

Naruto without Sasuke and Sakura = Naruto as a character having no motivation. Half of the villains loose their motivation as well. The plot was not great to begin with, but it will fall apart completely without them (well, mostly Sasuke).
Of course, you can think up a different plot entirely, but why make at a remake then, if it would be a completely orignal shounen?

Sasuke was unironically the best character in this series until Itachi died which caused Sasuke to go full mental. You cannot disprove it.

Sakura was not a great character, Sasuke was getting there in part 1 then went full blown silent edgelord for most of part 2.

You still salty about that dumb bubblegum bitch not getting with Naruto? Because I see no other reason why Hinata was brought up. Its been 4 years dude.

She mocked Naruto for being an orphan.

No it wouldn't, it would have gotten more readers if anything. Sasuke and sakura are easily replaceable as most of the other characters were more likeable. If people happen to say for instance, like Sasuke's powers or something, those could have just been given to any other character, or even a random new character

The plot is not hard to fix if you remove those 2, here's how:
-keep Orochimaru as a villain but either keep him in the shadows until later when Tsunade and Jiraiya confront him or make him kidnap a hyuga instead of sasuke (probably Hinata so Neji can keep his fight against the spider dude)
-Gaara's freakout and becoming Shukaku can still happen just use another trigger instead of his fight with Sasuke
-keep the Akatsuki and Itachi, as well as the underlying Bijuu plot, this remains unchanged since Naruto was their primary target, not Sasuke anyways
-at first keep the Bijuu stuff hidden but make it clear they'll be back after Naruto
-after the first showdown against the akatsuki, have them take on a more important role and have the timeskip be about Naruto training with Jiraiya so he's able to defend himself against them, followed by the attack on the sand village
-from then on rather than hunting Sasuke Naruto goes on the hunt for the aka members, especially Itachi because of his past involvement with the leaf village, and to know wtf is going on
-from there just keep the same general layout of events minus Sasuke ones and adapt any events that need new motivations, which is fairly easy
Now Naruto has room to grow as a character while facing hardship and learning of the hidden truths of the leaf thanks to Itachi & co instead of being a moping gay retard on a quest to hug a psycho. Both manga and anime become shorter because we can skip all of sasugay's shitty edge adventures and free powerups.

Reading this was way more interesting than what we actually got in the manga instead. Fuck.

I get Sasuke, but why hate Sakura? She was terrible most of the series but had something of a redemption chapter where she got over the idea that Sasuke could be saved and had the conviction to kill him herself instead of continuing to believe a lie. It was a big deal that the autistic years-long fangirl even hated him and didn't have anything to do with him until he was beaten down like a rabid dog and stopped being an edgelord.

If there's a character to hate then it's Karin.
