Of course people are overlooking things. That trailer didn't give off much of anything. That soundtrack cover doesn't give off much of anything either. the hope i do have is still strong and im actually looking forward to seeing Narutp tease her on her looks. I do put his affection for Sakura on the same plain as his desire to save Sasuke. He doesnt give up. I feel like until Sakura isnt single anymore, he has no reason to.

Anyway lmao! That would be hilarious! "Sorry Hinata but I need my smexy boots back!"

No, it really doesn't. I saw a bunch of panicked posts on tumblr and thought that something big had been revealed in the trailer, but it turns out that it was just Hinata calling for Naruto-kun. Some people are obsessing and getting all hung up over the small stuff. I don't see the point in being negative about the movie. Once you take the fun out of shipping, there's really no meaning to it, and it becomes more difficult to enjoy what the rest of the series has to offer.

"Here, you can have my lame ankle booties instead."   

One trailer doesn't confirm this though. lol hold your horses folks!

I'm just laughing at all of the conclusions people are jumping to. NaruHina is confirmed to be canon every day on this site.

Isn't hinata jaket is behind sakura!!

Oh, maybe you're right. I would go back and check, but I don't feel like sifting through 20 pages.

Hinata's hair is top think in that shot. She almost now reminds me of that girl from the 4th Naruto movie or first Shippuden movie.

I do like the shot of Sakura and how her hair Sits on the fur. I seriously don't think Kishi would push Sakura to push the two of them together. And i can't see Naruto giving up on her. I wanna wait until the end of the manga and see what happens there. The ending is very important.

I don't think he would either. Just because Sakura is interacting with Hinata, it doesn't mean that she's trying to push her to Naruto. People are jumping to conclusions. The teaser about Naruto's reaction to Sakura's beauty tells me that he hasn't given up on Sakura yet. We'll just have to wait and see!

lol you know i feel this was a mistake. She should have kept her boots! Lmao. I love Ten Ten's design!!!

Yes, I know how devastated you are about Sakura's boots lol Maybe she'll steal them back when Hinata's not looking.

The second image is bad quality, but I see Sakura's poncho hanging up behind Hinata, and there's a purple one next to it. Doesn't Hinata have a purple poncho on when she's falling? I think they're shopping for the winter festival together. That's so cute. I like the idea of Sakura guiding Hinata and giving her more confidence; it makes me think of how Ino took care of Sakura when they were little.

Better quality image:

In all likelihood, the scene is of Naruto and Hinata visiting Neji's grave site. I can't imagine any other scenario in which the two of them would be together with such somber looks on their faces.

ChouIno and LeeSaku <3

Why is everyone jumping to the conclusion that the character is pregnant? Because she's washing a dish? My boyfriend did the dishes tonight -- I guess we'd better get a pregnancy test.

NaruSaku - The Build Up! has been updated.

Bolded: Yeah it's concerning me how unromantic she is concidering its Naruto death

But it's not his death. She's not allowing it to be his death. I'm sure we would see a much more emotional side of Sakura if there was nothing more that she could do to save him.

Can we talk about that flare of Kurama's chakra on the first page? If Naruto's heart completely stopped, then what was that?

 

I highly doubt Kishimoto would end the great pairing war in this chapter, especially with Naruto in a comatose state.

 

Yeah, she was only doing mouth-to-mouth CPR to save his life -- but why would the author write that in given that she was pumping his heart, which would have been the most extreme thing imaginable?

 

I completely understand the sentiment that this isn't a simple, clear cut, love-dovey romance moment, but I am surprisingly optimistic that this will be brought up again in the future.

That's what I'm hoping for. I can't wait to see Naruto's face when he learns the lengths that Sakura went to keep him alive.

I'm just wondering how he isn't gushing out blood and dying from exposure. I guess medical ninja hax is the only explanation.

She's healing the incision using Gaara's chakra. Check the panel at the bottom-left:

Youre not the only one. Lol but at least she has his heart!

LOL! It wasn't quite what I had in mind. Kishimoto is taking the Sakura's-hold-on-Naruto's-heart thing way to literally.

 

 

Yeah, but why have Sakura perform mouth-to-mouth? She already has his hand in his heart, I doubt people will consider this chapter purely platonic/ brotherly love/ just a medical procedure. And Sakura remembered all of his promises to her too. ;___;

Her flashbacks are the closest thing to being pairing related in my eyes, and it's still difficult for me to consider them pairing related because of the seriousness of the situation. I'm a little crushed, to be honest. I was hoping to see her feelings resolved in this chapter, but I guess I was expecting too much too soon.

Well, this chapter was far less exciting than I thought it would be. I simply can't see what happened with Naruto and Sakura as pairing related since she's performing a medical procedure and has her professional face on. Hopefully others won't take this moment out of context....

That being said, it was nice to see Karin and Sakura giving their all to save Sasuke and Naruto respectively. You go girls.
