The Amity Park newspaper published an article wondering who Phantom was dating 

Valerie has samples of ectoplasm from at least 7 different occasions  

The first actual ghost threat Valerie comes across is Skulker, and she is immediately terrified of him and the ghost zone 

There's a door in the ghost zone that leads to a ghost train

i definitely see where you're coming from on sasuke's defense here and also yeah sakura was stupid to think she could do it alone, but i also think that she was reckless because she loved him and honestly because she knew she had no reason to love him. what you said about how she has no reason or depth of emotion for him- i think that's honestly the point. i think she started out with a stupid little kid crush but instead of it going away naturally, sasuke left and her emotional growth was sort of stunted because she wasn't able to move on like she would have been had he stayed. this fight i think was a half selfish attempt to save him from himself but also to save her own emotions by allowing herself to move on. she was simultaneously trying to protect her love for him by keeping him innocent and trying to protect her own self from the continued pain of loving someone who continually does evil and hurts people she cares about. i also see your point- yes, sasuke would have been seen as a rogue shinobi either way, but at least he wouldn't be seen as the shinobi who destroyed konoha or caused any extreme amount of damage. i can't bring myself to believe that sasuke is justified in his actions against konoha, even if he is justified in his anger. genuinely, the way to peace is NO through revenge, which feels like the thesis statement of naruto itself. it's honestly surprising the amount of naruto fans i see who seem to disagree with this idea, and believe that sasuke is justified, because it is literally written into the very bones of the story that revenge is never the answer. the point of sasukes arc is that revenge isn't the way to happiness- violence isn't the way to peace. yes konoha is extremely flawed and its leaders are also, but sasuke's destroying them isn't helpful. it only hurts more people. he's traumatized but that doesn't justify any of his actions and he's unnecessarily cruel even in what he does do that you call justified- the way he goes through karin to get to danzo comes to mind. he's not a good person there, and sakura is justified imo in wanting to stop him. yes she was stupid and naive but her naivete is honestly only a sign of the strength of love she feels for both sasuke and naruto- she's willing to take this burden on herself alone, it's just a product of hope that she can make something better. i think it also stems from the inferiority complex she has about being the weakest person on the team- she wants to prove that this is something she can do. it's dumb, but honestly i don't think she needs any more scolding for it. isn't the pain of her failure enough? it would have been cruel of kakashi to yell at her about it after the fact. she knew that what she was doing was stupid, she was just blinded by her pain and her idealism.

mm I was thinking about the scene you mentioned of Sasuke defending himself against Sakura, and I have doubts, I understand the actions of everyone involved, but was he really defending himself? I ask this because I didn't read the manga, I only watched the anime, and someone once told me that Sasuke couldn't have known that Sakura wanted to kill him since no one had told him. Only Kakashi, Sakura and Naruto knew the truth but Sasuke didn't, so I have doubts that Sasuke was defending himself, rather I get the feeling that he wanted to get rid of Sakura there (just in case I'm not a fan of Sakura), and if Kakashi didn't arrive in time, she would have died

Regardless of what Sasuke wanted (and he very much could have wanted to get rid of her. We hear him tell Kakashi he’s ‘itching to kill him’ and this isn’t the same kid who avoided killing. He’s broken from everything he discovered) Sakura was showing an intent to kill

She had a poisoned Kunai in her hand

Intention doesn’t matter when someone is holding a weapon that in intended to kill you. You’re defending yourself as soon as they show aggression to you first.

Sakura was there to kill Sasuke

She had the Kunai in hand and her eyes on his back

The intent was pretty clear.

Even if we say he wasn’t defending himself that would simply put them on equal levels of intent to harm. If they both were wanting to/thinking about killing each other neither of them is in the right or wrong

They’re simply shinobi fighting

However as an audience we know Sakura went searching for Sasuke. If Sasuke wanted to get rid of her it was because she hunted him down. He was unconcerned with her until she was right in front of him telling him she wanted to join him when she didn’t even know why he was doing what he was doing.

Sasuke is simply existing. Sakura knocks her friends out, lies to Naruto and goes seeking Sasuke out

It seems pretty obviouse as a viewer Sakura is the one in the wrong and Sasuke had a right to defend himself. He never went seeking Sakura out to get rid of her

Well... There is something i hate bout boruto next gen anime. I didn't want to talk about that but here i go...

The problem for me Is that Naruto isn't Naruto... Is not what i expected him to be. Naruto as child, even though he was reckless and dumb, he always cared about his friends and even the people he didn't know just bc they were good people, and if they were bad ppl he tried to make them realize that they were in the wrong path.

Here in Boruto NG.. i feel like, the one who lost track is Naruto. He seems to not care about Hinata or his childs ( remember, I'm talking about what the anime show us), in fact i feel that the only thing remaining constant is his "love"/friendship to sasuke. And i hate that. I hate that because no matter how much love i have for Sasuke or sasusaku or whatever i wanted naruto to be the best of all. It seem like everyone is better person than naruto (and I'm talking about family) he cares about everyone or anything as long as it's not his OWN family THAT HE DIDN'T HAVE AS A CHILD, so i can't understand why he left all of those family feelings apart and took them for granted...

So it disappoints me because i see that even sasuke is a better father/ husband than Naruto despite his bad past. (and i mean Sasuke and all the damage he caused as a young shinobi; if sasuke changed for good and now is a good person, good parent, good friend, good husband, why couldn't naruto do the same ?)

If naruto was so careful, so lovin', so good as a child.. why couldn't he be better as an adult? Why the anime or the manga is not doing justice about this? I mean yeah, he is a Hokage and have a looot of responsabilities but.. the last episodes we see him taking lot of care and responsability for this kid (kawaki) that he's not related with. In all this years the excuse was that being a Hokage takes time, so he couldn't even go home to see his wife.. and some may say "he is on a mission, he is supose to be monitoring Kawaki" well i think that he could have done some agreement that allowed him to see his family and spent some time with them more often. To celebrate their birthdays, for example. Or be at home earlier so when he arrived he doesn't fell asleep from exhaustion... To take some weekend to practice with boruto or spent time with hima or his freaking wife ...

And why can he show the amount of love he has for hinata? Im not saying that he should kiss her (but he should, i'll like that) or anything big.. I'm saying subtle love, as sasusaku for example, looking at her lovingly, or a simole glance taking her hand gently... stuff like that... No, she is just a housewife washing dishes and being totally ignored by her own husban. Even sakura has greater demonstrations of affection and love from sasuke cold uchiha..

Still naruto is the best in my head, not this spoiled ass they show us in the anime/manga...

So yeah, that being said, thank you for reading. ❤️✨❤️✨❤️✨

Bueno... Hay algo que odio sobre el anime de boruto next gen. No quería hablar de eso pero aquí voy...

El problema para mí es que Naruto no es Naruto... No es lo que yo esperaba que fuera. Naruto de niño, aunque era imprudente y tonto, siempre se preocupaba por sus amigos e incluso por la gente que no conocía solo porque eran buenas personas, y si eran malas trataba de hacerles ver que estaban en el camino equivocado.

Aquí en Boruto NG... siento que, el que perdió el rumbo es Naruto. Parece que no se preocupa por Hinata ni por sus hijos (recuerden que estoy hablando de lo que nos muestra el anime), de hecho siento que lo único que permanece constante es su "amor"/amistad con sasuke. Y eso lo odio. Odio eso porque por mucho amor que tenga por sasuke o sasusaku o lo que sea quería que naruto fuera el mejor de todos. Parece que todos son mejores personas que naruto (y me refiero a la familia) se preocupa por todos o por cualquier cosa mientras no sea su propia familia QUE NO TUVO DE NIÑO, así que no puedo entender por qué dejó todos esos sentimientos familiares de lado y los dio por sentado...

Así que me decepciona porque veo que hasta sasuke es mejor padre/esposo que Naruto a pesar de su mal pasado. (y me refiero a Sasuke y todo el daño que causó como joven shinobi; si sasuke cambió para bien y ahora es una buena persona, buen padre, buen amigo, buen esposo, ¿por qué naruto no podría hacer lo mismo?)

Si naruto era tan cuidadoso, tan cariñoso, tan bueno de niño.. ¿por qué no podía ser mejor de adulto? ¿Por qué el anime o el manga no hacen justicia a esto? Es decir, si, es un Hokage y tiene muchas responsabilidades pero.. los últimos episodios lo vemos cuidando y responsabilizándose de este niño (kawaki) con el que no está relacionado. En todos estos años la excusa era que ser un Hokage lleva tiempo, por lo que no podía ni siquiera ir a su casa a ver a su esposa... y algunos pueden decir "está en una misión, se supone que debe vigilar a Kawaki" bueno creo que podría haber hecho algún acuerdo que le permitiera ver a su familia y pasar algo de tiempo con ellos más a menudo. Para celebrar sus cumpleaños, por ejemplo. O estar en casa más temprano para que cuando llegara no se durmiera de cansancio... Que se tome algún fin de semana para practicar con boruto o que pase tiempo con hima o con su maldita esposa...

¿Y por qué puede mostrar la cantidad de amor que tiene por hinata? No estoy diciendo que la bese (pero debería, me gustaría eso) ni nada grande.. Estoy diciendo amor sutil, como sasusaku por ejemplo, mirándola amorosamente, o una mirada simole tomando su mano suavemente... cosas así... No, solo es una ama de casa lavando platos y siendo totalmente ignorada por su propio marido. Incluso sakura tiene mayores demostraciones de afecto y amor por parte de sasuke cold uchiha..

Aun así naruto es el mejor en mi cabeza, no este culo mimado que nos muestran en el anime/manga....

Así que sí, dicho esto, gracias por leer. ❤️✨❤️✨❤️✨
