![]() Author has written 27 stories for Bleach, Gundam Seed, Naruto, Warhammer, Command & Conquer, Avatar: Last Airbender, Halo, Star Wars, and Kingdom Hearts. Yo everybody! I'm Akatsuki Leader13. Real Name: Not telling. Age: 24 Gender: Male Favorite Animes/Mangas: Naruto, Bleach, Fullmetal Alchemist, Hellsing, Death Note, Gundam Seed/Seed Destiny, Gundam Wing, actually all of the Gundam series I like. Favorite Video Games: Command and Conquer series (Especially the Tiberian universe. Peace Through Power!), the Legend of Zelda series, Dawn of War, it's expansions and Warhammer 40,000 universe, the Warcraft and Starcraft series, Final Fantasy 7 (the other ones are good too, but Vincent is just so awesome, he should have been the main character not Cloud), the Resident Evil series, Eternal Darkness, the Halo series, Bioshock, Mass Effect, Dynasty Warriors: Gundam, Dead Space There's one thing I need to talk about. Writers that bash Team 7 to the extreme or have them as evil or jackasses. Now I understand that there are people that hate them. But the senseless bashing of them is just pathetic and annoying. People love Naruto and when they see good guys who instantly like him, they seem to write them off as really being evil (Sasuke gets at lot of this treatment because of his defection) or they're jackasses. They're alot more complex than that and branding them as that is taking the easy way out. Sakura: A lot of people like to bash her because she rejects Naruto's advances and is a total fangirl of Sasuke at the beginning of the series. But you know what, Sakura is flawed, like everyone else, and is the most normal out of the three of them. Plus, look at from Sakura's point of view. She knows nothing of Naruto's past and like the rest of Naruto's fellow genin, has no idea about Naruto's past. She's had never really interacted with Naruto before Team 7. And then there's Sasuke. The guy just about every girl in the class has a crush on. So when Naruto, the idiotic class clown, is constantly trying to go out with her, despite the fact she has repeatedly rejected him, it's natural for her to get annoyed with Naruto. Plus, I should point out that she as well as Sasuke, were shown as early as the Wave Arc to at least care a little bit about Naruto. To me, Sakura is one of the more interesting characters. She's received a great deal of growth as a person. Possibly the most of anyone in the series. Going from fangirl that couldn't stand being on the same team as Naruto to a mature teen that strives to help her friends and teammates however she can. My only problem with her, is that she doesn't one big powerful attack like Naruto and Sasuke. Which I feel is an injustice to her. Kakashi: A lot of people hate him for favoring Sasuke over Naruto and Sakura. I hate to break it to you people, but he did that once. At the Chunin Exams. And that was nessacary. Sasuke was going up against Gaara. A kid who would have killed Rock Lee if Gai didn't step in. While Naruto was going up against Neji, a guy who at worst, would have kicked Naruto's ass. Kakashi could really only teach one of them during the month. He chose Sasuke because Sasuke could likely die against Gaara. Plus he did get Ebisu to teach Naruto. Say what you will about him, he is the guy teaching the Hokage's grandson. He may be a prevert and an oddball, but he is a skilled teacher if he got that job. And Naruto badly needed to work on the basics. Kakashi didn't forget about Naruto, the opposite in fact. As he went out and managed to get Naruto the best teacher avaible to help Naruto imporve his skills. Sasuke: Sasuke, the guy so many people hate and love to bash. It's not hard to see why. But frankly, look at his past. Itachi, whom he idolized as a child, kills their entire clan. Everyone he cared about dead by his brother's hands. Now I don't care who you are, that effects you. Considering he spend the following years alone, it's not that hard to believe that he would become a cold individual, obsessed with revenge. But there were signs that he was opening up. During Wave, he shielded Naruto from a barrage of ice needles. If he truly was evil or a jackass, why would he do that? When Itachi returned and was after Naruto, Sasuke chased after them, not to fight Itachi, but to find Naruto and warn him. Why do that if he really wanted to kill Itachi? Then after he beat Naruto at the Valley of the End, he could have killed Naruto and gained the Mangekyo Sharingan. Yet he didn't. All of which show that he isn't the simple power-hungry maniac that most people make him out to be. Further more, I firmly believe that Sasuke will return to Konoha and Team 7 by the end of the series. Firstly, because Naruto said he would and he has a habit of doing the impossible. Then there's the numerous comparions between Team 7 and the Sannin. And they do share many similar traits. But there is one big difference. The Sannin remained together for many, many years. In fact, they didn't break apart until some time towards the end of the Third's first reign as Hokage. Where has Team7 was broken apart in less then a year. Suggesting that they reunite and take up their teachers' titles as the next Sannin. Finally, during Team Hawk's battle with the eight-tails, Sasuke had some flashbacks to Team 7, implying that he still cares about his former teammates.
