I feel like I have replied to this question million times…

First of all, a piece of work should be able stand alone without side contents. If you need side material to prove your point then your point is clearly not strong in the actual work.

Usually, the databooks (regardless of fandom) are made by a third party using notes, comments or just reading the manga, since the mangakas don’t have time to write them. Errors will always creep in. I remember reading the forum and one guy said they’re not canon since they have shown to be unreliable due to the contradictions they have in them. Like saying Sakura has lost many people (she has not) or Amaterasu being hotter than the sun (impossible and clearly does not have such power from what we have seen). Which is why I do not generally care for them. Another guy mentioned he dislikes them because they have too many screw ups and come off as unprofessional due to them. Databooks imo are probably better to use for stats or if you want explanations for jutsus and such, or possible mangaka interviews.

I remember this discussion in another fandom where the databook had a character be heterosexual when they were shown to have clear homosexual relationships in canon. 😂 (I brought this up because it’s such an extreme example of a contradicting material lol idek how messing up that bad is possible)

And where is Sakura’s importance to Sasuke? He didn’t think he needed to get rid off her in order to be alone which should logically say a lot. The translations on the quote differ but it also said Sasuke didn’t return her feelings and we already went through with the whole thank you = polite rejection stuff. He didn’t seem to have any problems with leaving her either. I think people should stop grasping at straws and maybe realise SS is so bad and nonsensical in the manga they need to justify it by side materials.

The Databooks aren’t unreliable. People don’t know how to read them. The stats aren’t comparable as they show personal growth. This is outright mentioned in Databook III, but people stupidly pull out the stats anyway. Sometimes, the Databooks give the information the narrative does to create mystery. If it’s changed later by the manga, it doesn’t mean the Databook’s wrong. It simply means that the Databook showed what the manga did. People also get very confused about the metaphorical language, as well, which isn’t the Databook’s problem. Most of this Fandom’s fucking illiterate.

As for this “filled his lonely existence with love” bullshit, then why do they ignore these from the databooks?

Databook I: Link

Let’s start with Sasuke’s profile:

There’s literally no mention of Sakura on that entire page. The only thing the page mentions is that Sasuke’s a genius and possesses an innate and outstanding talent. That and he’s very attractive and handsome. It says nothing about Sakura.

Sakura Haruno (these are from Sakura’s section that deal with her relationship with her teammates):

[Sasuke]

She’s been harboring an unrequited love for Sasuke since early childhood. At the same time, she handles the rigorous, daily life of missions and practice, and she loves with every fiber of her being. She probably exemplifies what an ideal young woman would be like. Even here on this picture, there’s no refraining from cheering for her!

A moment of tension with Sasuke!! Naruto disguised as Sasuke, actually.

Sasuke dead…?! Her heart was torn between her shinobi’s duties and pure love.

[Naruto]

Sakura herself doesn’t really know how she feels about Naruto. Her great love is Sasuke, but it should be noticed she also looks Naruto’s way… We can’t talk about love for the moment, but who knows?! It might happen.

She also decided to forfeit the Chuunin exam to preserve Naruto’s dreams.

She feels a spontaneous admiration for Naruto. And for some reason, she’s blushing…

…

So let’s see: according to the Databook I her love is unrequited? Cool. Also, here’s the section about Ino and Sakura being closeted-lesbians:

[Rivals]

Close friends though they might have been, things changed completely once they found themselves out to be rivals in love. Rivals who would bicker whenever they met. There was something genial about those quarrels, though.

The fact they both love Sasuke comes to light. Their relationship goes haywire…!

Keen as she is on staying ahead, she’s always having a hard time dealing with Ino and her strong jealousy. The battle between the two women is still raging.

…

My bad. I guess not …

Databook II: Link

Uchiha Sasuke

[Separation]

Towards darkness… The one to appear before him is Sakura. She confesses to him as he tries to leave without looking behind him. She confesses with a blindingly uncompromising mind that does not want to lose him. The one that filled his lonely existence was Sakura. But he cannot let her in. He leaves with just one word of thanks.

(Where does it say, “filled his lonely existence with love”? It’s talking about friendship as it’s explained in the following sections below; there’s literally no mention of love in that entire section.)

[The days when the light shone]

In Sasuke room there is a picture…there are companions, a teacher and he who is not alone. This symbolizes the young(genin) days he spent at the Leaf. He lays flat this picture the day he leaves. Quietly, but for sure, he is saying goodbye to those days.

This was just a simple picture but it was still something special to Sasuke.

“I’ve walked the path with companions. Now I walk the lonely path of revenge.”

Sakura who needed him to the very last. His words were real.

Severing all ties, leaving behind his companions towards the path of revenge

[Dreams with friends]

Friendship and love, a future filled with warmth. But as long as he is there, he cannot make his dream come true. This is why he throws away a future with his friends (it’s interesting that the Databook separates friendship and love; but Sakura’s only included in the companions’ section; it means that love with someone was a possibility for Sasuke, but it was never Sakura or Naruto, haha; it basically means that Sasuke would’ve have had a decent future had Itachi not come back to ruin his life.). To make dreams of revenge a reality…

Power needed to make his dream come true. To fell a brother who dirtied his past with blood and filled his future with despair.

My dream is in the past, it exists only there.

His brother who was everything…and the one who took away everything.

Itachi who pokes at Sasuke’s forehead. That gesture shows clearly the relationship between the siblings.

Even within the ‘strongest’ Uchiha, Itachi is still the stronger. That brother is the object of idolatry for Sasuke as well as that of jealousy. With his brother as his goal, he develops step by step. Because of his brother’s great existence, his father did not look at his own existence. Anyway, his brother exists and so does he. Itachi was everything his world for Sasuke.

The day Itachi killed his family and the clan a bloody shadow settles in his mind. As long as his brother’s existence does not disappear nor will this shadow.

The sadness of watching his mother and father killed in front of his eyes, no one can fathom its enormity.

At the ends of fate, the attack that is let out at the finality!

…

It doesn’t say anything about his love for Sakura. His section constantly refers to her as a friend, not a romantic interest.

Sakura Haruno

(I’ve cut out the stats part)

“Next time, I’ll go too!”

No matter how many times she’s hurt, she gets up! The unbreakable girl who grows every day!

People say that becoming an adult means more worries. Sakura too, is no exception as she worries and sheds tears at every stage. But her strength is her ability to find hope despite odds. With the pride of being a ninja deep in her heart she does not wither but faces all challenges.

Even with concern in her heart, she acts bright and happy.

Her passion for Sasuke is unchanging. In front of Sasuke, her personality changes but his apathy is constant.

As Tsunade’s student, she develops a new ability called medical jutsu. In the battle field she was unnoticeable, but she is endlessly heading towards becoming the greatest of female ninjas.

A strong ‘other Sakura’! In front of Sasuke, the difference between their actions make it impossible for them to be the same two people. Is this a part of her charm?

A spirit that doesn’t back down but fights back! To protect what is precious to her!!

…

A parting with a loved one that tears at her heart

Sasuke left the Leaf Village. Sakura’s heart did not reach him. Naturally lonely and peace loving, for Sakura, the loss of one teammate causes her great pain.

Thus, if that person is someone she loves, the pain is greater. So she shouts out her love which goes unheeded, squeezing the words out of her throat. It’s as if this is her imprisoning destiny.

…

So basically Sasuke shows constant apathy to her romantic confessions? Cool.

You can check out the Databook III’s images from here: Link. There’s literally no mention of Sasuke’s “lurve” for Sakura in his databook pages. In fact, it might shock you, but Sakura isn’t even mentioned in about 6 pages worth of Sasuke’s profile in Databook III; but here’s Sakura’s portion:
