lol great... now they're calling Sakura as a necrophiliac one....  But it was only a CPR of course

That would explain why they decided to edit in Hinata. I should have guessed, they dont want their princess to feel left out      

while i agree sawyer is biased when it comes to sakura vj is 20 times worse  i decided to watch his review for the heck of it and man was he all over the place

I had the misfortune of watching one. He didn't review a single aspect of the chapter, except going on about how epic Hinata was.      

Did you not see Minato and Kushina survive having their whole mid-section impailed by Kurama's nail? Or Sasuke survive having his chest and organs blown out? This is the least concerning matter considering Sakura is a medical ninja. For all we know she made the incision through his muscle and ribs then moved her arm around or above his left lung to get to his heart.

lets not forget bisected Tsuande who was still alive lol 

I can only hope that Kabuto will start doing artificial respiration on Sasuke, which will cause Karin to freak out when she gets closer.

I keep imaging a similar scene from Bleach when Mayuri revives his lieutenant     and Renji/uryuu assume something dirty 

I would love to see Karin's reaction. her man being in a death state drove her nuts, seeing her man getting violated would be even worse

Imagine Naruto's reaction, his mouth to mouth with a girl, and he was unconscious        

I wont lie, when i originally read this, i thought i was on a NS fanfic site. 

I was fine in the first week...BUT NOW IM REALLY ANXIOUS.

 

The reality is, the comparison chart that was presented in the video is biased in several ways.  Not only does it use non-canon "facts" such as cooking skills, but the rest of the items are worded in a particular way so they can be counted in Hinata's favor.  

 

It's extremely simple to remake the chart -- using only canon facts, mind you -- and show that it all counts in Sakura's favor.  To wit:

 

 

As Shikamaru might say, even statistics are troublesome if they are not corrected for bias.

 

There's no reason to stoop to publicly ridiculing a person because of his/her bias when the bias itself can be smashed with something crazy like, you know, facts and stuff.  

 

 

Hilarious, and quite possibly true based on what we've seen in the manga so far.  

Ha, logic is pointless. Blind assumptions and baseless conclusions please   

thats how desperate vj gets when a narusaku moment comes another example is that he says rtn is filler and technically it is even though kishi took part in it but he is only saying that cuz of the ns development we got to see throughout the film cuz back then he was spaming ss will kick ns to the curb this was when new trailers started coming out but when the movie came out he did a 180 and considered it all filler anyway recently on tumblr he's been trying to connect au hinata and menma as naruhina even though he says rtn is filler and thinks ns is filler materal and does not deserve to be canon like i said thats how desperate he gets it can be funny or just plain idiotic

He's one of the primary reasons I wish to see NH die...he left youtube and is on tumblr?     

that explains it xD 

they praise hinata like a goddess vj especially does on tumblr its pretty sad he even went as far as stalking my friend's facebook page to make him look like a mean person cuz he ships narusaku sigh... no sane person does that he clearly has a mental illness and yet i don't feel sorry for him one bit cuz if ns is the canon pairing in the end god only knows how he will react to it

I used to "debate" against him on Youtube. God, he was a riot, iv seen some deranged shippers on both sides, but he by far the pinnacle of ignorance. Any time i made a point he negated it by "Hinata's better than Sakura for Naruto" He used to proclaim openly Hinata=Kushina. I wonder what his reaction to Minoto's little statement was   He pretty much ran anytime I outfoxed him on a video 

(sigh) I miss the good old days.

Though to add to the thread, wasn't it that Medical ninja had some form of knowledge over fuinjutsu (sorry if this has already been discussed) 

http://www.mangapand...hapter-235.html

I wouldn't be surprised if sakura took part in the ritual instead of kakashi to seal the other part of Kurama (if this happens) 

My condolences, I hope he manages to deal with this. Losing a loved one is always hard 

It won't be Gaara's doing. Last time, Naruto simply put his hand on Chiyo's and let her do the job. I think? Either way, it's not exactly Naruto's ultimate skill either.

I forgot about that. That could work, Minato then seals Kurama back inside Naruto..

Naruto's wife and her future father in law. Working togethor to save their future 

She has tears in her eyes that will run down her face if he actually dies. I liked that they're both panicking in different ways. Karin is actually having a breakdown.

 

Prediction I found on tumblr

pizzeta is my source

I'm a bit skeptical of that. How would Gaara transfer chakra. I thought it was something very few people (mainly support) were skiled at using. 

Lol. Sounds like fanfic from you know who.

 

Anyway, it's only the beginning for Naruto and Sakura, so expect more from Sakura to Naruto. This is going to be good. Really really good. The fact Sakura will learn more and more about Naruto, rather just not looking good.

How Perfect would it be, if Sakura fulfills Chiyo's words and as Naruto wakes up and sees Sakura's crying face. He goes "you have such a charming forehead. Makes me want to kiss it" would tie in so nicely 

Lol.

 

Imagine once she learns about Sasuke, she tells Gaara that he's on his own.

 

They're lucky that I'm not a heel let alone an a--hole.

Sakura: what? Sasuke's hurt? 

Naruto: (slowly puts his arm up to touch Sakura's face to get her attention) uhh help mee

Sakura: (slaps Naruto across the face  ) Man up, its nothing serious, Sasuke needs me.

(Sakura gets up and is seen running into the distance)

Gaara: I should have just brought Tsuande (facepalm) 

DUDE HOW CAN YOU MISS IT. SHE DOESN'T KNOW THE LOVE OF HER LIFE SASUKE IS LYING DYING TOO. if She knew she'd move away from the faker Naruto and go and tend to her man. 

Naturally Hinata's face-ground speaks volumes but Sakura's concern speaks little.

Wait in the scan just posted it was Sakura saying this. My bad haha, i just looked at it again. 

Yes I'm sure Hinata spent hours training under the greatest Medical Ninja there is and will show that useless girl Sakura hows it done  . Afterall, Super Hinata can do ANYTHING. She'll heal Naruto, kittenslap Madara and then proceed to make the world into a place filled sunshines and rainbows and cupcakes 

 

As usual, I'm late to the party (it sucks to work a hectic job for a living) and I haven't read all the posts.  So I'm likely to repeat a lot of stuff others have already said.

 

I read the chapter last night, and wanted time to let it simmer in my mind before I came to any conclusions.

 

First, Hinata.  My take on her in this chapter is that Kishimoto wants readers to understand that she will never be at Naruto's side.  The sybolism is bold.  She's not the right one.  She's not a healer, she wasn't in the right place, she doesn't have the right personality or fortitude.  

 

And even though she genuinely wished to be there with Naruto, for him, she couldn't make it.  It doesn't make her any less than the other characters; after all, even Tsunade-sama and Shizune didn't have enough chakra left.  Only Sakura-chan did.  How much more obvious could Kishimoto have been?  Sakura is the one who is literally and emotionally at Naruto's side.  She is the one who is literally being called upon to be the heroine and save the hero's life.

 

As far as I'm concerned the subtext shrieked of closure for Hinata.  Of course, everyone is so paranoid about Kishimoto's trolling of his own character's love lives that no one can rest easy, but this is what I believe.  He just doesn't have enough story left to realistically keep every bit of it unresolved.  At least not a secondary character such as Hinata.  

 

Kishimoto may not fully resolve Naruto/Sakura/Sasuke before the very end, but it depends on how far away the end might be.  Either way, it's not as if Naruto is going to suddenly say, "Hey, after that near-death experience I suddenly realize I love Hinata after all!!  I've forgotten all about what's-her-name-chan."  

 

So is Naruto going to end up alone then?  While Sakura rides off into the sunset with Sasuke?  No.  I think the final panels -- of Karin crying for Sasuke and Sakura (with tears in her beautiful eyes) trying her best to hold Naruto, the situation, and herself together -- is a compelling sign that Kishimoto has chosen his pairings.

 

 

As for Sasuke, my eye (and my money) is still on Orochimaru.  It's possible that he has something up his gender-bending sleeve.  That or Sasuke will perform Izanagi and get a cheap "For Uchiha Only" do-over. 

 

So that's what I think.

 

Lastly, I have a question.  This idea of Minato sealing the yin half of Kurama into Naruto.  I understand that biju extraction is fatal.  We got in on Spiral Authority that it's the absolute rule.  But has there ever been a situation like this in the history of jinchuriki?  Where half of the same Biju's chakra has been available to be sealed into the person before their death?  

 

How can we -- or even any character in the story -- know for sure it can't possibly work?  Maybe it's something only Kurama would know....

 

As far as we know. No. But we can deduct this will probably allow Kishimoto to bend the rules a tad. Minato certainly has the knowledge to do it, but im guessing Sakura is needed to make sure Naruto doesn't die and manages to recover after the sealing. As far as we know, its never been attempted on a near dead human. I guess this would in a way make it the exact opposite of a standard Bijou sealing. 

Hm, correct if I'm wrong but in this scene:

 

 

In the middle left panel, was that Sakura screaming out?

I appears to be a random fodder I think

On the side note, I'm fashionably late the party and have nothing further to add  

Except I think now, Minato might help sakura extract the other half of Kurama from him and seal it in Naruto. Then perhaps she could utilize Kurama's fast healing to bring him back? 

is the drawback of the yin / regeneration seal thought up by fans or is it explained in the manga? i meant the life shortening aspect. 

Releasing it is not necessarily lethal. You're letting all the chakra out after-all. The main life shortening aspect is Creation rebirth and Strength of a thousand arms. These jutsu force cells to rapidly divide and regenerate entire organs at times. But it must also be noted cells can only divide a select number of time so excessive use of this technique is life shortening. 

So today was a nice day for me. I only had 2 lessons and I spent the rest of them laughing and joking in the library. Things got heated when a fellow S6 (sixth year) said he'd kick me in the balls so I told him to go suck one. Also my friend's arrived and he walked off and threw me dirty glares constantly. Good times. 

Read the new Naruto chapter while being giving suspicious looks as I was going "ohhh" and "awhh" and also "how cute" . I think my librarian thought I was browsing some dirty things but then again she cant prove anything 

We were meant to have 2 hours of Biology but our considerate Biology teacher was taking a field trip with some S4 (fourth years) so as a result we got a sub from another department. Just my luck it was a PE teacher. So we were kidnapped and forced to change into  PE gear which they kindly provided for us since there were so few of us. Naturally I tried all the textbook ways to get out it. "miss My stomach hurts" or "Sir my leg hurts" maybe even "Sir PE is against my religion" oh and also " Sirrrrr I cant do PE in these shorts. They're not Pink "

But nope. I was forced to do 2 hours of football (that's Soccer for you other folks), it was not pleasant since someone thought hitting me in the face was a nice way to get in my good books. 

got to leave school quicker than rest as I had some free periods and I came home and fapped  listened to music. 

Then I sat down and ate Pizza while killing some noobs in an MMORPG I'm addicted to.

Thank you for listeninggggg

SOOOOO.....I noticed this little section and thought I'd start too, who cares if no one reads this. I can rant and rage and not need to worry about who reads it as they cant find me 

So I'll start with some info about myselfs. I'm 16 years old, I live in Scotland (no i wont specify whereabouts), I'm in my last year of High School and hoping to apply to Uni in the states since it's been a dream of mine to study there... 

I'm a keen reader, I like anime, manga and just about anything else. I sometimes even read romance for the thrill of it and no I dont tear up and cry for several hours, I'm currently dead into the Skulduggery Pleasant Series and Percy Jackson series. Only ever happened once and I swore i would never go soft again   and I'm usually the one person in the class who has a comment for nearly everything. 

I love Sleeping. Why I have no idea, I love lying in bed waiting to sleep as it gives me time to catch up on thinking, I have a massively active mind. I can't stay focused on one thing for ages. However Despite that I get into the top classes in school and work hard! 70% of the time. 

I seem to have a high Metabolism and as a result I eat alot but never get fat. Not to mention I hate exercise and PE. God I hate it with a raging passion more obsessive than Karin's fantasies for sasuke, more stranger than Sasuke's hokage dream. 

I'm running on one hour of sleep today. I need more coffee.

Women you will kill yourself fast.....trust me...I went 5 days without sleep once and I was hallucinating like mad during them. 

go clear your schedule and sleep haha xD

Oh New (translated then) Chapter is out!!

 

http://www.mangahere...v38/c357/4.html

 

OMG

S**t is ABOUT TO GO DOWN...............

 

BTW I converted a new Fan to this WONDERFUL series recently........................ my mom.  

I had her watch the series and she was Instantly hooked.  She watched all 175 episodes and complained that she wanted to see more when I told her It only stopped at that, but the manga is still continuing. Thing is though she preferrs to watch the anime because the actions are more fleshed out and choreographed   

The last time I tried to make my mom watch anime it ended badly, She was in tears, broke my phone (by accident) and then cooked burnt noodles D:

I absolutely LOVE the designs of the antagonists this arc, especially Kyouka. Is it just me? They all look wonderful.

 

I had the same thought...Although Kyouka kinda reminded me of Friza from DBZ for some reason...have no idea why

 

The designs are indeed good, especially the ice devil slayer....there's something about him...just because he has a human form he appears so much more sinister than the rest.  

Epic podcast as usual James    

Why hello chatroom..dont mind me..I just stalk every now and then C: 

Next week Obito will most probably hold naruto's hand.... ObiNaru canon?

Naruto you whore   you hold everyone's hand....easy catch lmao
