Sakura’s character has often become the target of hatred from some Naruto fans. She is frequently labeled as a “burden” because she is perceived as causing trouble for others. As a result, a group of Sakura haters emerged, not only actively pointing out her flaws but also trying to persuade other Naruto fans to join in on the dislike.

However, no matter how strong their hatred is, it is unlikely that everything about Sakura makes them angry. Throughout the Naruto anime series, there may have been moments when even Sakura haters found themselves smiling or feeling satisfied with her actions, despite claiming to despise her.

Here are seven moments that even Sakura haters might secretly enjoy.

1. Sakura Almost Hit by Chidori and Rasengan

During the scuffle between Naruto and Sasuke on the rooftop of Konoha Hospital, tensions rose to a boiling point. Naruto unleashed his Rasengan, while Sasuke countered with Chidori. Both were determined to clash head-on with their respective attacks.

Sakura ran toward them in an attempt to stop the fight. However, it must be said that Sakura had an exceptional talent for positioning herself in the most dangerous spots. This time, she was standing precisely at the point where Naruto’s Rasengan and Sasuke’s Chidori were about to collide.

Fortunately, Kakashi arrived just in time to save Sakura. With quick reflexes, he managed to halt both the Chidori and Rasengan before they could collide. Kakashi then threw Naruto and Sasuke toward the water tank, sparing Sakura from a major catastrophe.

Are you a Sakura hater? Admit it! There’s probably a little voice in the back of your mind thinking, “Wow, wouldn’t it be wild if Sakura got hit by both Chidori and Rasengan at the same time?” But let’s not wish for that, okay? That would be terrifying!
