It really is sad that Sakura can’t even make Sasuke hesitate for the path he’s about to embark on here. She says she understand what he’s going through but tha isn’t true at all. I wish Kishi actually had Sasuke and Sakura form a close bond during his time in team 7, cause here it just feels like and outsider trying desperately to involve themselves in something they don’t belong in. Like, its shown that Sasuke shows some amount of care for her as his comrade but nothing strong enough that can tie him back to the leaf. Its just really pitiful how one-sided their relationship is.
