I'm just curious, what do you guys want to see happen in the forehead scene? What are you expecting to happen during the moment? I always have a feeling that its going to happen I just hope Kishi doesn't kitten it up. I already said mine in the how will you expect NaruSaku become canon thread.

Personally I'm not sure how Sakura would react to learning that Naruto impersonated Sasuke to get closer to her. I'm also not sure how much of an effect that chapter had on her. It was done in a comedic light and none of the characters seemed to change as a result of it so it might not actually matter at all. Let's be honest now, do you think Sakura really still cares about her forehead anymore? She seemed to make it clear that being a strong shinobi was more important than looks when she cut her hair.

Well Naruto is based off of Kishi and Kushina is based off his wife...

Let's not say that as if it were a fact. It's purely speculation and the only evidence we have for it is a quote from another mangaka years ago. 

All hail the police state.

Hey guys!!!!!! Please check out my art!! http://ai-sakura-cha...-dovey-narusaku

Tell me what you think!

Something about their necks seems odd. I imagine it's quite difficult to draw people from such an angle but then again I know nothing about art. In any case it's quite good. It always amazes me how people can think up so many details and draw them out like this. I also noticed that you drew this on lined paper which leads me to believe that you did this casually. I would love to see what you can draw when you really set your mind to it.

Sketches of older Sakura, Shikamaru and Sai. That's about the only thing that holds substance. Rest of posts are endless discussion on the mysterious woman sketch, absurd theories of Sakura wearing an Uchiha crest necklace( its proven to be false), a few posts deemed by some to be Hinata bashing and subsequent posts either expressing confusion about this accusation or defending Hinata.

And a Mod warning everyone to stop all this.

So, please don't make fun of Hinata!

You can't tell me what to do! Hinata has a funny looking haircut!

Anyway thanks for letting me know, all these pages made me think there was as much information here as the old RTN thread.

maybe the next manga is one piece.Nami does CPR on Luffy omg Oda-Sensei please make it happen

You know I half expect Oda to troll us and have Momonosuke drown with Nami there to save him.

Hiccup and Astrid from How To Train Your Dragon remind me of Naruto and Sakura.

In one eye. I mean you can only use Mangekyou Sharingan for so long.

He has heaven eyes. Logic and reason do not apply to him anymore.

Surely I wasn't the only one expecting a comedic twist, right?

See now what you're not understanding is that every major pairing has legitimate proof as to why they will be the final pairing. You can't just pick one and say "here's proof" and ignore the others. You have to look at every pairing and the proof for it and determine by yourself which one you think is most likely to occur.

What you've done here is got worried that other pairings have proof instead of thinking about all the proof NaruSaku already has. A pairing wouldn't be considered major if there was no significant proof of it's validity. If you compare the evidence for NaruSaku against the evidence of pairings that conflict with NaruSaku and still think that NaruSaku won't happen then that's your own interpretation and it's your right to have it. Just the same, it's my right to tell you that that particular interpretation is very short sighted and ignores character developments/hints that support NaruSaku.

At this point I'm past the point of caring. That last page was hilarious for me. Kishimoto once again fuels the flames of the pairing wars. He knows exactly what he's doing.

I had alot of friends who used to love NaruSaku. But after so many people raging about NaruHina, they dislike the pairing. I have always been a loyal fan of NS. But alot of people hate me for liking them. After getting so much hate, I find myself loosing confidence in NS. I still believe in the pairing, but I end up loosing hope of NS everyday. Has anyone else ever had that happen?

That shouldn't surprise you. Sakura is hated for good reason. Her love for Sasuke should have been resolved at the end of part one but instead Kishimoto has dragged it on and on and on to the point where now nothing he does will make things acceptable. He sacrificed Sakura's character development so that he could postpone pairings until the end of the manga. Because of this many people get frustrated with Sakura's irrational love for Sasuke and condemn her character. I'm sure there's many people who only like Hinata because she's not Sakura. People want a likable female character in the series and if Sakura can't fit that role then Hinata's the next best thing.

In any case there's no reason to doubt NaruSaku. It's absolutely going to be the end pairing unless something crazy happens such as Sakura dying or Naruto turning evil.

The only thing I worry about at this point is whether or not Kishimoto will write a satisfying ending which will be quite difficult after all the holes he has dug himself into.

Well I don't live in Japan so I don't know how big of a problem this is but before any decisions are made regarding the regulation of pornographic drawings there should be an investigation done to see when this all started and what could have caused it to become widespread. Further investigations should be done to see if the increase in sales of these hentai manga has any correlation with a possible increase in child molestation. The data gathered will help whoever it is that makes these laws decide an appropriate action to be taken if any is necessary at all.

Like I said before though, I don't live in Japan. For all I know Japan's politicians could be in the pocket of the anime industry and even if changes to the laws were necessary they may not happen at all. I just hope that the most innocent party (which in this case would be children) are protected as a priority. I don't know how that would be done or if it's even an issue at the moment but I highly doubt that jailtime and huge fines are a good way to promote a healthier culture.

Killing Obito is the easy decision but the more interesting decision would be for Obito to survive and have to face the consequences of his actions.

Wow. Out of all the reasons I could think of for someone to drop Naruto I never guessed it would be sexism. I'm just going to assume that this writing you perceive as sexist was merely the breaking point of your frustration with the series and not the sole cause of dropping it.
