can't see the screenshots takeo

but I heard ep 3 will air on schedule so thats good. can't wait for it. Wonder how it got leaked, though the accidental part seems more likely.

see this is why Oda is totally crazy

He knows how to rile people up ........... (dances around)

can't wait for the chapter now........... u go Oda , I wonder which angry pose Luffy is in this time :thumbs:

Lets see what Oda will have in store of us at the merman island. I bet Luffy will probably bash the nobles .....wonder what kind of craziness they will get themselves into this time.

Same here. Bleach is getting far more interesting for me and thats saying something since I never used to enjoy Bleach as much as Naruto. One Piece is different-> its like a crazy ensemble of cast with a funny bone
Oda can deliver so I enjoy that. Hopefully I will get back to Naruto in the near future.

thank for that.....yay can't wait for the movie :thumbs:

haha Duval

Sanj should think about becoming a make up designer

Now days when I get bored I have been reading One piece, eyeshield 21, boogiepop phantom, 20th century boys, detective conan, D gray man, reborn (hilariously stupid )

There are so many other as well but stupid school work takes all the time :'(

great story I am gonna go eat some ice cream to make myself feel better

Those were fun to read simusar. I didn't know you joined this community as well. I always enjoy reading your arguments on NF regarding the pairing debate. Hope you are having a good time here as well.

I don't get it. My exams are coming up real soon so I know I need to really get down and work my ass off but whenever I sit in front of the book I just dose off. Its like an auto switch or something. I wonder if getting high on sugar would help....... hmmmm....

Yup, its worth reading bleach now days. I stopped reading bleach in the middle because I got bored of all the fights and now that its going to span out with the back stories I am all in the bleach bandwagon.

I didn't get into one piece because of its animation style. Got bored of Naruto and started reading OP manga and I couldn't stop until I reached the latest chapter. Since then I was hooked and I can't now understand why one piece is well liked. Its worth reading and hilarious to boot and I find that the animation quality though not always the best is not as bad as Naruto's so for me even the anime is not bad.

I don't think it matters any more since the KN4 deal and Naruto's accelerated healing, I am guessing that he finished off the age difference of being younger by cell division since it shortens his life span

Now he and Sakura are probably the same age

I still say Sakura deserves Naruto. After all she isn't the same person she was pre- time skip, she changed her ways and recognized how important Naruto was in her life. I am sure others have given plenty reasons as to how she changed her attitude and I will agree 100% because she learned something and then applied it.

Part 2 Sakura IMO would gladly die for Naruto if need be, just like he would do the same for her and that just makes it all up for me because she is there for him now. To me it feels like Naruto embraces change and Sakura represents it. (don't know if that made sense at all or not )

you said it. I will go to Japan as well (you would need supporters of course )

I agree that Kishimoto has really taken the time to develop NaruSaku right from the beginning instead of just saying that main lead goes with main female lead. He has shown the circumstances in which these two characters have a chance of coming together and becoming a couple. I hope kishi sensei continues on this path and gives us NS fandom even more instances with Naruto and Sakura together and I hope there is a confession (maybe next year or sometime) between these two. Also, Sasuke needs to be alive, I don't care if he isn't in Konoha but he better be alive so that people can't say that NS only happen because Sasuke died.

I don't care if people say that NS only happened because Sasuke left. I saw good for us because it clearly showed how much Sakura can grow when she puts her mind to it and also realize the potential Naruto has a guy, a friends and maybe a lover in the future

Very well said :thumbs:

I just hope that when the pairings get resolved it makes it clear when Naruto ends up with Sakura. No more ifs ands or buts

What Kodachi Claws said :thumbs:

nobody denies it can't happen but then what would be the point of manga slowly gearing towards NaruSaku. what would be the point of Sai and Yamato's words. Why not have Sasuke show any emotion towards Sakura? I mean Sakura was already infatuated with Sasuke why not just make him accept her feelings. Why call her annoying a second time in chapter 181? Too many why's lol

lol....so true

I wonder what itachi would say being termed as cute

See, I don't particularly disagree with you or anything of the sort. What you have done is taken the bloodlines of the characters and then tried the baby making formula . I am just going to give my POV and how I view things :thumbs:

First of all the main thing is we don't know how the genetics works in Narutoverse. A few assumption you took and I am not saying whether they are valid or not are:

1) Byakugan is dominant -> We don't know whether it is or not? It might be or might be not. We also don't know the hyuuga clan system and whether they allow marriage outside of their clan or not. Lets assume they allow the marriage outside of their clan and Byakugan is dominant. Then there should be no problem as the children would have the byakugan from a hyuuga and a non hyuuga. If the byakugan is recessive and an outside clan marriage is allowed, the chance of a child from that marriage having the byakugan decreases. Thus, it is a big assumption that byakugan is dominant. If it isn't then a NaruHina kid wouldn't necessarily have the same advantage than the one with byakugan.

2) Sharingan is a recessive trait -> As Sasuke said that even in the Uchiha clan it only appeared in the select few. So, even if Sasuke and Sakura get together it doesn't necessarily mean that the children would have the sharingan. If they do well and good but if they don't, then what??

This is where I believed that more than having bloodlines, its a nurturing environment and the parental guidance that counts.

I guess this is where the difference is, I am thinking in terms of different environment provided for the kids and who will come out better. In this case there is NaruHina where it is my personal belief that unless Hinata develops her confidence she will remain under Naruto's shadow and thus the child would be subjected to two extremes. One is a quiet mother and the loud father. If the child has the byakugan then of course he would follow the hyuuga way and if he loud and obnoxious like his father we don't know how that would be viewed. Then there are other things too e.g. if the child doesn't have byakugan he would most likely learn from naruto and at the academy etc. My main point is basic character and personality - don't see the best combination from this pairing. Its either going to be a Hinata extreme child or Naruto extreme. (as per my POV)

In Sasuke and Sakura's case, I don't know what to think. Looking at Sasuke's personality in part 2, I just can't see Sakura being as easygoing with him as she is with Naruto. If Sakura gets subdued and Sasuke asserts authority as was the case in Sasuke's house then the child would look up to Sasuke for the praise. And, I don't see Sasuke as easygoing. Also, what would have if lets say Sasuke has 2 children and one of them has the sharingan and the other doesn't. Who would be concentrate more on and all the other psychological stuff that goes on. At the moment its a tough cookie to follow. I can't even say how the children will develop because again my bias will come in big time.

For NaruSaku, I think would be the best environment for the children whether it is with a bloodline or without. I am sure if its with a bloodline, it going to be a new one so there is no clan stuff or anything to deal with and Sakura and Naruto already have no bloodline so a child without a bloodline would not feel out of place or anything. Even if the child is not overtly strong in the beginning, he will be able to develop properly because Sakura would be able to help him if he/she has less chakra, since she has already experienced it. If a child is more chakra oriented than Naruto would be able to help with his techniques. Even without all this, I think NaruSaku would be the best of parents because of the environment that they would have inside the house. It won't be overtly strict or lax. Sakura would be the disciplinarian and Naruto would spoil the kids a little
Both of them are stubborn people and don't like to lose and I think this would be one of the things the children would take with them because neither Naruto nor Sakura would act differently in front of each other. They are both free spirits and I am sure they would let their children find their own path as well.

If you are talking about initial strength of having bloodlines to not having bloodlines sure sharingan and byakugan sure that would make the kid/s strong but personally I think it takes more than just good genes to produce strong children. Personality, environment and a lot of other things come into perspective.

lol....u just described a scene that happened with my friend . He went to ff.net for the first time as I told him about a few good stories and he just clicked a random story and it turned out to be a SasuNaru. Poor guy He was like there was some vividly graphic description and it was only a T rating. I couldn't stop laughing. And apparently he didn't use the filter option so quite a few stories were yaoi on that page. He didn't return to reading fanfics for the next 6 months.

Its funny though. Yaoi, NaruHina and SasuSaku are the three things usually leading in fanfics

Nicely said :thumbs:

You covered the important points that Salvation raised.



And you answered the rest Denim.

Salvation, a 'thank you' spoken to a person does not always mean much compared to the actions that you take to fulfill the meaning behind the thanks.

Sakura in part 1 for a misinformed girl, who had a view of the world surrounding her and that was her perception. Naruto was a dead last in the class and according to her an annoying boy. Sasuke was top of the class and had the mysterious person with a 'I don't care' attitude. Simply said, Sasuke was the bad boy kind. No disrespect to the girls or anything but some of the girls I know go straight for the Sasuke kind described above.

But over time Sakura's view was challenged over and over again by Naruto because he did things she didn't believe he was capable of and slowly but surely Naruto kept on going up Sakura's POV ladder. One of the main reasons for this is because Naruto and Sakura are essentially similar. They both want attentive and they hate to lose. If you read the manga, Sakura wasn't as bad to Naruto as most people make her out to be. She started caring a little bit by Zabuza arc and then Chunnin exams showed further improvement.

Also, regarding Sakura's thank you that you said she should have told Naruto. I believe its a good thing Kishi left it out because by not saying the words implies that she would remember them and keep them with her. Saying it might cheapen it out a bit because it would be deliberate.

However, during the POAL, the thank you was legit because it was heartfelt. She finally understood at that moment what Naruto was about. It wasn't her inclination but she was going through a lot of emotions at that moment. It wasn't just sadness because of Sasuke leaving but a roller coaster ride of emotions for not understanding Naruto beforehand as well.

She actually started trusting Naruto before the promise but just realized it at that moment.

So, I think its ok if she doesn't say thank you, you can see it from her actions and her concern for Naruto in part 2 that she would be with him through heaven or hell and thats what true friendships are about

So, I hope it answers your question. If you want her to make up to Naruto saving her and all that, then I think she is already doing that and will do even more for him. Its the same with naruto as well because actions speak louder than the words.

dude thats not right

one Sasuke is enough but a thousand

lol....wat was up with that site

That was fun to watch

And nope Yoshimoto is not a Sasuke fangirl or anything of the sort. You are the rival Salvation

lol..go Ino, maybe she can put some sense into the knucklehead ninja and the pink haired one. It would be funny if she gets them together

so true lol.

I can imagine both Sakura and Naruto going like that
