Debate: Who does Naruto care more?

[AraiHito]

It's Sasuke.
Ya know why?
Because Naruto's interest in Sakura has always been superficial, while with Sasuke, someone he's looked up to, depended on, and considered his closest friend
The person he's CLOSEST to?
His BEST friend?
Sakura is just the damsel in distress, put in place to cause conflict. When Masashi Kishimoto created her, she was meant to be someone who would bring Sasuke and Naruto together by saying things like 'He just a spoiled brat because he doesn't have parents' and other ignorant things that would make Sasuke realize Naruto and him were in the same situation, aka orphans. Sakura was mean and shallow through almost the entire first series of Naruto, and in Shippuden her personality consists of wanting Sasuke back and letting Naruto do all the searching for her.

It's even more obvious who Sasuke cares for more; Sakura tried everything she could, throwing her love and loyalty at Sasuke, and he acted basically condescending; ignoring all her pleading and just knocking her out so she wouldn't 'scream and get everyone to come out and stop him'.
When he fought with Naruto and Naruto explained his feelings, much later, after Sasuke had already had his curse mark activated, he said, and I quote
"It's too late for that now!" Which, my friends, infers that he would have come back with Naruto had he gotten to him sooner.

In truth, SasuSaku is a crack pairing. It could never work because it wouldn't be healthy; her superficial obsession with him+him obviously thinking he's better than her=disaster.

In short, Naruto feel's he has to protect Sakura, seeing her as a weak link, emotionally and sometimes physically as well; He respects Sasuke. There's the difference.

Oh, and you NaruHina fans out there?
Sorry guys. Hinata's been stalking Naruto for years and the most care he's ever shown towards her was during the Chunin exams, when he told her not to give up. And why did he do that? Because he's a nice guy. He would have done that for anyone who was being called a failure because of his personality. And as for the chapter where she confesses her love and promptly gets pwned, OF COURSE HE'D BE ANGRY!!! It doesn't mean he has some great, undying love for her! Pein just wrecked the ENTIRE VILLIAGE, and Hinata's selfless, and really, really stupid, leap in front of Pein was just the perfect icing on the cake, or rather, the last straw.

My proof is in that he didn't actually check on her to see if she was okay, or even think about her confession, after he was revived and everything. He immediately started focusing on finding Sasuke again.

WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU?!?!?! >.>

...holy s**t. so long.

hinata was stalking Naruto but naruhina fans always denies it don't know why.

sasusaku was always a crack pairing something that reminds me of a crappy shojo.

since when did naruto ever care about Hinata?

SPOILER:

[[[[In the more recent chapters of the manga, Naruto releases to his 8th tail when Hinata is killed by Pain. ]]]]


Ahem... anyway...

that doesn't really mean much since, he releases his tail whenever he's angered -like when Pein taunted him and then stabbed Hinata- if was any other person would have been the same -even though I doubt anyone would have been that stupid to do what she did in the first place-

When I read this, I was smiling the whole way through, mainly because you have a good point.
I always thought the same thing about his relationship with Sakura.
And Hinata... I didn't even bother mentioning her, because she really poses no threat whatsoever. I believe that she is, and always will remain, a friend to Naruto.
NO MORE THAN THAT.
And I do agree with whoever said that Naruto was like a ticking bomb at that point. Pein destroyed the village, was responsible for killing Jiraiya and "killing" (hint) Kakashi. Then you throw Hinata into the mix, and her (in my opinion) poorly timed confession. He reached his limit.
I probably would have lost my mind WAY before then.
So yes, here is how it is:
Hinata isn't a threat. Just a good friend. (Can't see her being anything more)
Sakura may pose as more of an obstacle than Hinata, but I agree with you. He protects her because, in some way, he feels like he has to.
And Sasuke... He's the only one who could be with Naruto, and vice-versa.
Let's face it.
Sasuke wins, and PWNS the competition, hands down.

no ehe cares 4 both vry much or else he would hav let those ppl kill sasu-kun.  

[RouraSasuNaru]

Sasuke-kun,because Naruto made so many sacrifices for him,only he knows how many.Naruto actually sold his body to the Kyuubi for power to recover Sasuke back.
Sakura only stood and cry and Hinata...?Hinata?erm,well...I donno what to say,I think they actually seen each other for not so many times,and Naruto does not quite care 'bout her that much,he only wants to protect her like the others.

Wow, haha.

I do agree that Sakura was a damsel in distress, but the reason why Kishimoto created her is because, she's the only proof of a character developing.

I applaud you for writing such a wonderful statement.  

[I3eloved Kitten]

the reason he did that was becuz he wanted to protect his teamates which he called family sure he liked sakura at the begging but his lifestyle changed by him taling about sasuke alot n alot wanting him to come home lots of people say naruto had a brotherly bond wit him but he actually doesnt he has a love bond which the real anime should have been a shounen-ai biggrin

what? pardon? excuse me?

When did Sasuke ever "LIKED" (!!) Sakura?! When? How? What? Why?...  

[Xx_Yume_Shinkirou_xX]

I think she meant that Naruto liked Sakura, not Sasuke.

Xx_Yume_Shinkirou_xX

I think she meant that Naruto liked Sakura, not Sasuke.

I got confused. She didn't use a name.  

[chibibble]

I think Sakura has grown as a character since her whiny young girl days, and I would say she's grown into a very strong, capable ninja, but her training with Tsunade means that she's unable to look for Sasuke: which is why Naruto is doing so for her.

A friend of mine is an excellent Sakura RP-er, and so I ask you to look past the Sakura-bashing, and try to appreciate that she's an okay character now.  

[I3eloved Kitten]

f course naruto cares about sasuke the most its obvious this series should have stayed yaoi but the creator changed it all D:  

[Dagger Blackburn]

Naruto cares for Sasuke more than anything in the world. that includes his ramen.
