So here's my latest rant over the latest Naruto Shippuden episode. (don't worry, I do mention Sakura in this. But the most important comes first.)

They now have this whole "I Spy Yamato" thing... (This isn't the most important thing I was talking about)

HERE'S the part that made me laugh and go "awww" at the same time. It was just so beautiful and cute at the same time. Here. Let me tell you a story in the form of a comic strip. (Read left to right, top to bottom.)

So. Intro. Shikamaru and Choji are talking about wedding gifts for Naruto and Hinata. Shikamaru comes up with the idea of getting them a honeymoon gift, but needed Ino in order to get a girl's input on what Hinata might like. She's busy getting a gift, but they ironically run into... Wait for it... Temari. So he asks her and it comes out wrong. So she thinks they're looking at honeymoons for themselves. So while Shikamaru sees this as her helping him, she sees it as Shikamaru taking her out on dates and eventually in the end, it gets awkward and so funny. They both get the completely wrong ideas.

(I love how Choji plays along, same thing he did with Ino and Sai a few episodes ago in Shikamaru's story 😂)

... 😭 I was certain they were gonna kiss. It's so cute, tho. Admit it.

But in the end, I think it's kinda ironic, some people say SasuSaku is abusive...  Heh. They're just hating on Sakura.

Speaking of Sakura... I did promise you guys an actual Sakura-related thing, didn't I?

Lol when these two start fighting again, I think it's kind of funny. And cute at the same time, thinking they're going back. So at the same time, it's cute, funny, annoying, childish, but mostly funny.

This is a very good point. What people don't realize is that Sakura's right. Her CHEST DOESN'T MATTER. In fact, Ino just used a compliment in her insult, saying she only has brute strength. Because that's a good thing that she's really strong. People don't see this about her. In fact, Ino here is literally the character embodiment of the Anti-Saku fandom.

And they only compare her to everyone else, saying that she's not girly, she's not strong, she's weak, she's got no chest... Well, Kishimoto probably did this on purpose.

Plus not to mention that the tiebreaker in the cooking contest ended getting resolved by the kindness the two showed towards each other. It's not who's got the bigger chest or who's stronger or prettier. It's their kindness.

So just food for thought. Hope you enjoyed that gorgeous ShikaTema moment and hope you learned something new about Sakura. If not new, than I expect that you've known it all along, you Sakura Saviors. 😘
