Sakura has been the topic of numerous Naruto discussions on social media platforms and forums. One of things that fans want to understand is why she liked Sasuke. Is this infatuation or Noble love?
Taking a look at Sakura and Sasuke’s past to understand their relationship
There is no doubt that Sakura’s feelings for Sasuke during her time at the academy were purely based on the fact that he was a popular kid at the academy, who excelled in every aspect of being a shinobi. There is no denying that it was infatuation.
As the days progressed, her feelings for Sasuke only grew while Sasuke became a better shinobi. However, during their time at the academy, and even after becoming a ninja, Sasuke did not reciprocate Sakura’s feelings toward him.
During this phase of his life, Sakura continued loving Sasuke, who ended up nearly killing her.
This didn’t happen once, and she would have died if she didn’t receive help from Kakashi and Naruto. It is because of these instances and the lack of romantic moments between the two characters that caused a stir among the fanbase when the relationship became canon. It’s still unclear why Sasuke liked Sakura back after all that happened in Shippuden.
Sakura liked Sasuke for his superficial qualities and it certainly wasn’t real love in the beginning.
It was merely infatuation, and it’s highly unlikely that it was something else. This is quite understandable since no kid at that age has the maturity to fully grasp a concept like true love. This maturity can be observed in her adulthood when viewers see how far their relationship has come in the Boruto series
