I lubs you too, Sireta-san. heart
Sakura, of course, wasn't a speck in Sasuke's life, but compared to Naruto, she is, sadly. Naruto's a bit more important to Sasuke than Sakura is. They shared the bigger bond, so I would really think that Sasuke would go after Naruto. And it's not just the bonds either - Sasuke never saw Sakura's strength, so he'd underestimate her.
I agree Sasuke and Sakura's bond is different, though. It hasn't developed into something SasuSaku fans would truly love, but it's enough to threaten anti-SasuSaku-ers. They care for each other, though in different ways. So it's probably both underestimating her AND not hurting her. Yes, it could be both ways - after all, the ways both of us interpret it don't conflict with one another.
I think Sasuke can be a bit stupid, though. Sure, he's a ninja genius, but he's underestimated Naruto as well before he actually saw Naruto's strength. Then he started questioning his skills as well as Naruto's.
He, of course, would think that Sakura improved, but he probably has no idea HOW - there's a 50-50 chance that he's heard that she's been taken on as Tsunade's apprentice. I'd say that if Sasuke had assessed it, he would presume Sakura's skill to be... say... Shikamaru's level fightwise. (Face it - Shikamaru would be nothing without his superior mondo-intelligence.) But Sakura's bound to prove him wrong - to take him by the element of surprise would be her strongest weapon.
Maybe he didn't hesitate, but he still thought Sakura was levels beneath him and Naruto, particularly because he hasn't seen her strength at all. But I agree that he wouldn't kill Sakura, though - he probably IS too soft. But I still see it as he's being soft on her because he thinks she hasn't improved enough to actually land a hit on him, aside from having a bit of an old friend's love for an old comrade. (And hopefully, something more.)

(And hopefully, something more.) I totally love you Hana-chan heart It's fun to debate SasuSaku with a SasuSakuer XD I agree with you MORE this time than I did last time. *falls over* But I still disagree on who was MORE important to Sasuke, probably because I think of important differently. When I think of a rival, I think it more along the lines of 'obsessively important'-- basically, the only reason the person is important is because you want to overcome them and be better than them, because you have a connection with them and a horrible superiority complex. An important person, to me, is someone you try to keep out of danger and protect. In my eyes, we've already seen Sasuke announce he cares deeply for Sakura in SOME WAY (Gaara battle, telling Naruto to take her and run because he never wants to see someone important to him/precious to him die in front of him again. The reason I usually center this around Sakura is because Naruto's first image after he says that is of Sakura getting hit by Gaara), and it seems to me he doesn't want to see her die. He's already seen so many people he's cared about die. Which is why I have a hard time seeing Naruto as the more important one. Sasuke doesn't want to see people important to him die, yet he's going out of his way to try to kill him :/ Isn't that a bit contradictory? Even with the power of the curse seal taking over him, he never attacked Sakura (who touched him while he still had power to hurt her), but he went all out with it to destory Naruto. Naruto seems to be more a threat, like you said. Where the underlying friendship is between them and the 'brotherly' relationship is on the fact that they both understand loniliness. That's what gave them the friendship in the first place. It was replaced by a blinding need for rivalry and superiority on Sasuke's part (where as Naruto didn't have those some types of obessive rivalry feelings). I can say that I DO understand where you are coming from. And you are right, Sasuke hasn't seen Sakura's power-- but he has seen her display SOME power. I'm pretty sure he would have known Sai was ANBU. ANBU are elite, are they not? He did witness Sakura catching Sai OFF GAURD and pinning him to a wall by his neck. She had the potential to kill him in the position, and the fact she did it to someone so elite (who Sasuke defeated easily) should have sent bells ringing in his head that she'd grown immensely. Even if Sai was preoccupied, he is ANBU first and foremost, and should have been able to deflect/detect/defend agaisnt her. Hahahahaha. The three D's! And you are right, SAsuke does have a problem with underestimating people and overestimating himself. 4laugh

And you are right, SAsuke does have a problem with underestimating people and overestimating himself. 4laugh
Anyway, let's just say I think Naruto's and Sakura's importance to Sasuke falln in different categories. Naruto's importance is that Sasuke needs someone to gauge his strength with (AKA a rival), and also because Naruto is the one whom Sasuke considers his best friend, and he tells Naruto so, too. Sasuke wanted to gain the Mangekyou, which is the only reason why he's trying to kill Naruto. If he didn't want to gain the Mangekyou, he'd probably just beat Naruto to within an inch of his life just to prove his strength.
(Though why he's talking about killing Naruto now, I can't exactly say.)
Sakura's importance to Sasuke, meanwhile, is different. Sasuke sees her as his first female friend, and as someone to protect. He hasn't had anyone/anything to protect before besides himself, and Sakura is important to him in the sense that a ninja's strength isn't based on how many jutsus he learns, but how great is his desire to protect. Sakura embodies that which he wants to protect.
But currently, Sasuke's forgotten that he needs someone to protect to prove he's truly strong, so Sakura's importance to him has shrunk compared to Naruto's importance to him. As of now, all he cares about is getting strong by learning jutsus as much as he can, and as I said, his gauge on how he's gotten stronger is Naruto, which is why Sasuke went after him, not Sakura, whose strength he probably has little idea of.
So now the part of Sasuke that loves his teammates has been hindered by the part of him that wants to break the bonds for him to be stronger. Naruto's importance encompasses both categories, so he clearly has more of Sasuke's attention now. (Gawd, I can't wait for Sakura to spatula him to the moon.)
Though I have to agree - he should've seen Sakura's potential already when she tried to strangle Sai, but I suppose that wasn't enough. Sai was stunned by Sasuke's tantrum sudden desire to destroy his room.

Don't you just love me for it? Here is my new belief from the better trans I read: Sasuke said "These aren't who I want to kill." Who can emcompass more than one person, or just ONE person, don't you think? No matter how you go about it, Sasuke's main kill is Itachi. If he's planning on only killing who he wants to kill (scary thought, huh?), then he isn't going to kill anyone else. And, with this added as proof, I don't think Orochimaru has as much power over him as he's led on. Sasuke seems to be doing things that make me think the one who waers in the pants in that relationship is himself-- he's very disrespectful of Orochimaru, and is really only using him. If he was really planning on giving his body up, don't you think he'd be a bit nicer, especially since Orochimaru is helping him get strength to kill Itachi? I wonder if Sasuke's purposely tryign to shove Naruto and Sakura away from him to keep from being PUSHED to kill/hurt them, JOINTLY. They're both important people to him, but he can't let that show.

SiretaInDisguise Ahh, yes. So this is why I love you so much Hana-chan heart I re-read Chapter 342 today, and came back with a NEW perspective. Don't you just love me for it? Here is my new belief from the better trans I read: Sasuke said "These aren't who I want to kill." Who can emcompass more than one person, or just ONE person, don't you think?

I wonder if Sasuke's purposely tryign to shove Naruto and Sakura away from him to keep from being PUSHED to kill/hurt them, JOINTLY. They're both important people to him, but he can't let that show.
That's what I thought about that statement - it COULD or COULD NOT mean one person. I never thought of Sasuke as someone who'd kill just because he could. Rather, he's reserving killing for the one he thinks deserves death the most, which is Itachi.
In my point of view, I think Sasuke and Orochimaru are two of a kind - they think that they're the ones using the other to meet their own ends. It'll all come down to how much Sasuke will grow, though. I think once he recognizes the fact he needs other people (sans Orochimaru and his Sound lackeys) to become stronger, it'll be then that he can break free from whatever grip Orochi has on him.
It could be that Sasuke is pushing Naruto and Sakura away. I've always thought of it as Sasuke trying not to get either of them involved because he knows that the path he's taking is dark and he thinks that they may not be able to handle the darkness that's shrouding him - particularly because they are the light of his life. Naruto tries to pull him into the good side with his light, and Sakura holds his humanity with her own light.
However, he can't let anyone know how important they are to him, because knowing how dangerous his life is, letting them into his life would only hurt them. He's hunting Itachi, who's hunting Naruto, so obviously Itachi would be closer to catching Naruto through Sasuke if Naruto were to stick by Sasuke. (Didja get that?)
Meantime, the mere fact that Sakura is a very loyal Konoha nin can give her trouble with Orochimaru, which of course Sasuke wouldn't want. Plus she's Tsunade's apprentice and an accomplished medic - there's hardly a reason why Orochimaru wouldn't want her on his side. (Of course, Orochi hasn't gone after Sakura yet, but who knows, right?)
So that's my theory on it. Kinda... messy, but I tried to get my point across.

So that's my theory on it. Kinda... messy, but I tried to get my point across.Yes, point did get across. Sakura is a threat to Orochimaru (AND ITACHI! I'll explain later.), since we all know how the Sannin team was set up: Tsunade > Orochimaru > Jiraya > Tsunade. Tsuande trains Sakura, Orochimaru trians Sasuke, Jiraiya trains Natuto. There are two possibilites here that I see-- Orochimaru, upon discovering that Sakura is Tsunade's apprentice, could try to get her for 'research purposes'. If he's going to crumple Konoha, he needs to be able to defeat Tsunade-- and without actually understand Tsunade's fighting and thinking style inside and out (although he was on a team with her), he doesn't stand a chance. Sakura, of course, would be his closest link to Tsunade's secrets. A second option is that Sakura will be the driving force to pull Sasuke away from Orochimaru, one way or another. As for my Itachi statement, I've been pondering that for a while. Itachi likes to fight with genjutsu, and use his Tsukiyomi. Sakura is a natural genjustu type (capable of reacting to a Jounin or S-class style genjutsu and release it before falling into the spell when she is only a genin), so fighting genjutsu would be one of her strenghts. She also houses Inner Sakura-- which was able to repel Ino's Shiten no jutsu. I believe it could have a similar affect on Itachi's Tsukiyomi. On top of this, you have Sakura's monstrous strength AND her medical abilities AND intelligence. When you think about it, the only thign that could make her apt to fight him would be to have Sharingan herself. :/ She's pretty well set up to fight Itachi/protect someone from him. That's way off topic though sweatdrop

... Sasuke already stated when Sand was going to destroy Konoha and he was fighting to protect Sakura and Naruto that they were his "Special Companions". Wouldn't that stand true after two and a half years? You only find true friends once in a life time! biggrin

kawaiikanji3 If it came down to it. I think he would have a lot more dificulty to bring himself to actually attack/hurt her as if it was Naruto he probably wouldn't have a second thought physically hurting him.(killing Naruto tho is a different story i don't think he can do it even if he claims he severe their bonds). Anyways i think Sasuke much rather would to hurt her feelings but not her. sasuke sais that he didn't kill naruto because he wanted to kill itachi by his own means....and i agree on the fact that he would have a lot of dificulty in injuring or killing sakura.. sweatdrop i don't think i made any sense..

Your Itachi statement reminds me of my fic - I set up Inner Sakura to defeat the Tsukuyomi. Sakura is no match for him otherwise, but I believe she can throw off the Tsukuyomi with her mental power.
Anyway, as soon as the Shippuden episode comes out wherein Sasuke attacks Sakura but hits Yamato instead, I think we may be able to see if your theory was right. It could just be panel usage, for all we know.

If he's going to crumple Konoha, he needs to be able to defeat Tsunade-- and without actually understand Tsunade's fighting and thinking style inside and out (although he was on a team with her), he doesn't stand a chance. Sakura, of course, would be his closest link to Tsunade's secrets. A second option is that Sakura will be the driving force to pull Sasuke away from Orochimaru, one way or another. As for my Itachi statement, I've been pondering that for a while. Itachi likes to fight with genjutsu, and use his Tsukiyomi. Sakura is a natural genjustu type (capable of reacting to a Jounin or S-class style genjutsu and release it before falling into the spell when she is only a genin), so fighting genjutsu would be one of her strenghts. She also houses Inner Sakura-- which was able to repel Ino's Shiten no jutsu. I believe it could have a similar affect on Itachi's Tsukiyomi. On top of this, you have Sakura's monstrous strength AND her medical abilities AND intelligence. When you think about it, the only thign that could make her apt to fight him would be to have Sharingan herself. :/ She's pretty well set up to fight Itachi/protect someone from him. That's way off topic though sweatdrop
Your Itachi statement reminds me of my fic - I set up Inner Sakura to defeat the Tsukuyomi. Sakura is no match for him otherwise, but I believe she can throw off the Tsukuyomi with her mental power.
Anyway, as soon as the Shippuden episode comes out wherein Sasuke attacks Sakura but hits Yamato instead, I think we may be able to see if your theory was right. It could just be panel usage, for all we know.Possibly, but as we've already witnessed, the anime doesn't necessarily go according to the manga *stabs Studio Piers*
