| • • • Her Sacrifice |
 Sakura sacrificed her long hair to have a short one. She knew that Sasuke "supposedly" like girls with long hair and yet she cut it for her own sake and their's. This took a lot of
strength and effort from within her to give up what she loved a lot, besides Sasuke. A girl's hair is one of the most important things she has besides her opinions, her looks, her social status (at times) etc . Sakura's was her hair
because it was different from everyone else's.
It made her unique and you could immediately tell her apart from all the others who just blended into the crowd. She gave up her hair to get away from Kin's (sound nin who was holding her hair tightly) grasp and fight back. She fought all she could even if it wasn't enough. All that mattered was she tried to save those who were precious to her. The people important in her life. She'd even risked her life on saving them because they'd done the same thing for her numerous times.  Sakura sacrificed a lot for Sasuke...and for her own well being. The three most important things she's sacrificed or willing to sacrifice will be named here. It all starts with Sakura and Ino.
They were the best of friends and yet one day when Sakura finds out Ino likes Sasuke-kun too she declares they are now eternal rivals for Sasuke's love.
What she did, she did it all for a guy. One guy who never treats her right, who always says she's weak and annoying, who always degraded her and said she was even lower than Naruto.
She did this for him.
She gave up her best friend for one guy. But if you think about it, Sakura and Ino have never really hated each other. They just challenge each other a lot so that they'd be represented as equals, not just Sakura following after Ino's shadow. It may seem like they hate each other but they really don't. They still care and watch out for one another, its as if nothing really changed. The one thing that also differentiates Ino and Sakura is how Sakura feels towards Sasuke. Her feelings for him are more deep and true, quite unlike Ino's. On a physical level, they are still good friends.  She's sacrificed so much for him that its not even funny. She'd give up practically anything for him, even if he never
returned her feelings in the end. She'd protect him at all costs, she'd declare that she and her best friend rivals for his love and lots of other times she's sacrificed for him.
She'd wait for him to get better, she'd tell him encouraging words, she'd tell him anything to make him happy. Sasuke is one of those guys who just take things too lightly and don't realize how important they are to them until something
bad happens to that special person or thing.
Well, basically...Sakura told him if he'd stay then she'll make everything worthwhile for him. If he doesn't wanna stay she told him she'd go with him to achieve his revenge. That shows how much she'd give up for him just to be with him. She'd leave behind her friends, her family, her town of birth just to go with him so he can gain some power and learn from one of the legendary sannin's, Orochimaru. She'd sacrifice so much just for him. This shows how truly in love she is with him, not some childish infatuation even though it started out that way. |
