I believe a number of the characters here have interacted with Sakura one way or another. Whether they personally know her or know who she is but don't talk to her much, you can count on them being here.. Its a total love triangle between the trio since Naruto loves Sakura, Sakura loves Sasuke and Sasuke loves...well...not sure really but in the future it will be Sakura. Naruto was treated the exact same way Sasuke treats Sakura. She basically degrades him a lot but when Sasuke informed her that it was Naruto that saved her and risked his life to she started warming up to Naruto. I honestly find this relationship quite adorable. I'm not only in love with SasuSaku but also other couples in the series although I must say that SasuSaku is my favorite above them all. The number of fanfics and fans for them is a lot actually, I don't blame them for loving this couple. I mostly love them though for their friendship because they look out for one another like the best friends they are. Besides, my 2nd favorite pairing besides SasuSaku is NaruHina. ;) They've never interacted with one another at all except for that time when Sakura was protecting Sasuke and he took her down instead of Sasuke. I've read lots of fanfics about them though and I have grown to really like this couple as Gaara is a lot like Sasuke. Gaara is cold, malicious and powerful (as is Sasuke) which makes the fact of the whole GaaraxSakura thing adorable. This pairing will definitely stay just amongst the fandom as it such will most likely never happen in the animanga. I don't believe they've ever talked to one another but they at least know one another's names. Hinata has the right to be jealous of Sakura since she is the object of Naruto's affections but she just can't seem to make herself do it. She knows Sakura has no interest in Naruto that way so I suppose that's why she has no intent on hating on Sakura because she never did anything to her. But, I hope someday they'd be able to interact and all so that Sakura can set her and Naruto up. Hahaha. Ino is what helped shape what Sakura is today, basically she became what she is today thanks to Ino's confidence and encouragement. Other children constantly picked on Sakura because of her large forehead but then Ino came to the rescue. Ino helped Sakura blossom into the young woman she is today. They instantly became best friends due to this but when Sakura found out Ino also liked Sasuke she told her that from here on out they would be rivals. They may constantly be at each other's throats but underneath the underneath, they are still true friends. They still care about each other which is seen during the Chuunin Exams. Iruka-sensei is Sakura's old academy teacher. He taught her everything she needed to know so that she could advance to the next level, Genin. I've never read a single fanfic with them together and I never will. They have too much respect for each other to get together like that. Its not possible but I guess if your into it, kudos to you. Itachi is Sasuke's older brother who massacred the whole Uchiha Clan and moved on to join the Akatsuki. They've never interacted with one another even though Sakura knows all about him and what he did. The Naruto fandom really seem to like this pair and I can't disagree with them. I really like this pairing too even though it will never happen. I especially love those ItachixSakuraxSasuke stories, those are amazing. Well anyway, even though they've never once interacted I just thought I'd add it in to pitch in my two cents. Kakashi-sensei is Team 7's teacher. He supervises (or used to) Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura. He's a remarkable man that has the sharingan even though he is not of Uchiha blood and he's copied over one thousand jutsu's. He has only one original move and that is Chidori which he then teaches to Sasuke. Sakura and Kakashi are a pairing I also like as well. They are really cute together and the fanfictions I've read about them and how they are portrayed are very good. It will never happen though but its nice to dream! Rock Lee apparently really likes Sakura but she doesn't like him that way. At first she is disgusted by him and the way he looks, dresses and acts but she learned to respect him after he swore on his life that he'd protect her until he died. This pairing is alright though I don't think its possible to happen since Sakura is too dedicated and in love with Sasuke to even give Lee a chance at a relationship. I must admit he'd definitely treat her better than Sasuke anyday but the way Sasuke treats her is an appeal to why some of us like SasuSaku. They have never talked at all although they do know each other's names. This coupling is only possible in the fandom that is Naruto and will never be brought upon to become canon in the animanga but its an awesome fantasy. I really like this couple too since they both look cute together and even though Neji is exactly like Sasuke in a lot of aspects he is still somewhat nicer than Sasuke. Sakura and Neji are an adorable couple though and I'll ship them anyday! (Though SasuSaku will always be #1 and my OTP!) Never talked at all but still a cute pairing in the fandom. I read one fanfic that totally made me like this couple a lot. Its a nice thing to dream about I suppose even though it will never happen. Just keep wishing and it just might come true...well. Not really but its alright, he's always got Ino or Temari. Sai is a guy in Sakura and Naruto's team now (in the manga). Sakura and Naruto don't seem to like him too much actually. He may be a new teammate but that doesn't mean he'll ever replace Sasuke. The first time Sai met them both, the first thing he did was insult Sakura and Naruto. Although you know how much of an avid SasuSaku shipper I am, I really find the Sai x Sakura coupling quite adorable. I guess I am also a Saikura/SaiSaku shipper now although there isn't any evidence whatsoever since Sakura is forever dedicated to Sasuke. I don't mind really, I just find this pairing really interesting no matter how much of a bastard Sai seems to be. <3 Like they say, save the best for last. Well, Sasuke has never given Sakura chance with him whatsoever. He tries to push her away with his cold words but they don't seem to work on her (even though what he says hurts at times). He doesn't understand why she likes/loves him so much since all he has ever done was shun her away. Her love for Sasuke though first started out as a childish crush but then it blossomed into love. She truly, deeply cares for him and all SasuSaku fans can see that. She started out as one of his typical fangirls that squealed when he looked their way but that soon changed after she was placed in the same team as him. Since this is a SasuSaku shrine you can get a more comprehensive and profound analysis of their relationship in their Special Moments page. Either that or you can watch their interactions with one another for yourself at the Episode Downloads page. « rewind
