I agree with you, sadly Sakura is usually left out not only in battle but in training.. We saw at least a little bit of Sasuke and Naruto's training with Orochimaru and Jiraya but we didn't see anything with Sakura.. except her trying to revive that dead fish.

Good way to get your point across by the way ^_^.

This was a tragic, beautiful story, I loved it. This is an original idea too, because Sakura is never focused on by Kakashi, yet no one I know has written anything about it yet. So I'm glad you addressed it, because it frustrates me too. I could picture perfectly how Sakura felt throughout the whole thing. Also, I like how it was kind of a depressing ending, because you're right, any words Kakashi could say wouldn't make up for his actions. Awesome job, I'm favoriting it! :D

I really liked this part. I can perfectly feel the abandonment Sakura must be feeling:
“But this training is more suited for Naruto.”
Kakashi’s casual words felt like a kunai in her back. Or perhaps like the first time Tsunade punched her with her full strength. Naruto and Kakashi yammered on about training and new jutsu, but Sakura barely heard though the dull pounding in her ears.

a magnificent work!
:D

Except, the minor detail, that he didn't neglect her training, it was merely off-screen.

You should revisit the early part of the series, Kakashi clearly tought her about genjutsu, something he didn't teach to the others.

wow... i never thought of this - i just keep wondering why no one sees just who naruto is - but you really got it across well. the pain and frustration really hammers the point across. you made me see it! =D

I totally agree with u! when i saw the chapter when Sakura was just left out of the training i thought "wtf!? what about sakura!?" thank you for writing this!

hear ye hear ye, I totally agree. Though even how naruto or sakura don't call kakshi on it I don't know. I guess b/c naruto is just like that and finally got his training in with kakashi but still. You'd wish the guy would show he even gave a damn about his students... nice story
peace out

She shouldn't feel so bad hell the only reason he is even bothering w/Naruto right now is because he (Naruto) knows the right people...look I LOVE Kakashi but even I can see that he can be a big JERK...and that IS putting it mildly...

THANKS:"D

You're not the only one who's been bugged by Sakura's constant neglect by Kakashi. I love Kakashi. Believe me, I LOVE Kakashi, but that part of him has always left me thinking he's a bit of a chauvinist and since it's Kishimoto writing Kakashi...Well, you get the idea (Kishimoto fans forgive me! I love him, too, you know?! But he's not without flaw either!). Anyway, I'm just glad you tackled the issue, as I'm sure many of us are, but I'm also still keeping my hopes up. After all, at the beginning Sakura's character was vane, weak, and annoying, but eventually Kishimoto redeemed her by making her Ms. Girl Power. Hopefully, he'll do the same as far as Kakashi and Sakura's teacher and student relationship goes. So thanks for putting this out there and writing it so well, too! Good job! ^_^

that was a very good story

This was very well written. You kept the Kakashi and Sakura in character, and yeah Kakashi's neglect of Sakura was pretty horrible. I don't think this will be addressed in canon because the focus is always on Naruto and Sasuke. Great job!!

You're right; Kakashi neglecting Sakura is so horrible and it makes me so angry! I think it would be great if Kishimoto addressed it, but I dunno when he would.

Haha, sorry, that was the end of my rant, I swear.

Anyway, great story. Sakura's frustration was so real I felt it myself. I look forward to more from you.

This was excellent. I think that you have addressed the issue very well. Good job. ^^
