karin feels sakura pain
sorry i still beive sakura has feelings for sasuke STILL we cant look over her crying

Not saying we should overlook her crying or dismiss that she may still have feelings for Sasuke.

But I still think she's crying for the person she cared about as a friend, not necessarily just a romantic inclination. I think Karin can relate to that because they both cared for Sasuke--the Sasuke they knew from a long time ago, which he isn't anymore. They see what he's changed into and it hurts them. And the fact that Sasuke tried to kill both of them would have probably hurt them even more because it just makes reality that much harder.

Omg!!! That was like totally epic!!! I nearly cried tears of joy
But it was so beautiful that my reaction was *long gasp* then "Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!"
*slight squeal*
The girl next to me was all like "Are you okay!? Did something happen!?" and had a majorly worried look on her face. And I was all like "The new chapter of Naruto...looks awesome."
and she was like "....oh."

Anywayz, like someone said earlier, dont kill of SS yet. I mean it definitely looks dead, especially with all the times Sasuke tried to kill her. But you never know what moves Kishi might try to pull, even though I'm still set on NS being what's gonna happen ^-^
I can't wait till the full chapter is out!!!

karin feels sakura pain
sorry i still beive sakura has feelings for sasuke STILL we cant look over her crying

maybe she does maybe she doesn't if she does, i do feel kinda bad for naruto, because of all he is willing to do and he gets kitten in return because it is true that people cannot control who they love. However, if sakura doesn't love sasuke, but cares about him like a teammate and friend in the same way in which naruto cares for sasuke then it would not be so bad for him. One thing is for sure is that each chapter is a roller coaster of emotions. I just personally hope that it doesn't play out to after the fact that when sakura confessed to naruto that it was fake just to try and save him, because i could see that hurting him more. I am just not trying to be biased on anything, just so i can get a full picture and not a narrow minded view.

But anyways, until we get the chapter out we wont know what happens

honestly i think the bench scene was comic relief for the most part, look again im was a sasusaku i know she was being honest with her love for sasuke but was completely blinded by it was not a trustful relationship but she did LOVE HIM .froot understands what im talking about she sees sasuke still as the boy she fell in love with. which unfortunately was not BENCH SCENIC sasuke but the true sasuke , she fell in love with the true WEAK need love poor boy sasuke, yes she saw him as the boy in the bench but you need to look over that since he did call her annoying afterward she probably though she lost her chance, as a sasusaku fan thats what i thought.


i know sakura loves naruto im just saying she could still love sasuke also

TO ME SHE LOVES BOTH BOYS

I really don't think Sakura has any romantic feelings for Sasuke. I mean, just think about this, Sakura just about I guess hours before still looked at Sasuke as redeemable and was still hoping to save him just like Naruto was. Then a little later she makes up her mind that she will have to kill him all by herself. She makes sure everyone else is out of harms way and then goes on to Sasuke. She hasn't seen Sasuke in a long time. The last time she saw him he was much different. She comes to the bridge this time to see that Sasuke, the person who used to be her comrade, who she had romantic feelings for, and who she tried so hard to save and help, she saw this totally different person with an heir of evil about him. As she goes closer to Sasuke she is forced to make her final decision but chokes up and freezes. Sasuke may be evil, and it may be best for him to be killed right then and there but he was once her friend, he once protected her, they ate together, were on a team together, and team 7 spent a lot of time together. They had a strong bond as a team and now she was going to cut that bond for good, however she couldn't bring herself to at first. Sasuke's goal appeared to be only to trick Sakura into turning her back to him so he could quickly dispose of her. This failed because of Kakashi jumping in and saving her. After this Kakashi and Sasuke seem to begin there fight, when Sakura takes her second attempt to bring herself in killing Sasuke. Once again she freezes up unable to kill this person who was once her's and Naruto's very close friend. Sasuke once again takes advantage of the time and this time gets his hand on Sakura, lifts her up, and tries for the second time to to kill her. Of course this is when Naruto comes in for the best save EVER.

I'm just saying. I really have serious doubts as to Sakura still thinking of Sasuke romantically. Sakura isn't the only one that cries and can't bring herself to kill Sasuke. Naruto was devoutly against this idea. When all seemed to fall in around him and Sasuke's death seemed like the only way, Naruto passed out. It's totally understandable that Sakura would freeze like this, in fact, she would be too OOC if she didn't. I want to see the heroine that Kishi promised to give us, but at the same time, he can't just make Sakura a heroine out of no where. Seeing Sakura's tender side, seeing her unable to kill, it is all good for her development.

If you believe that she may feel equal love for both Naruto and Sasuke, then thats fine, I just think that things have changed and continue to change. I think that as for Sakura, she is just getting the harsh reality she was trying to prepare for, but she probably didn't expect Sasuke to be so dark and evil.

K thats all, sorry for the rant : )

[Serenity Namikaze]

Ah, I predict that Naruto would save Sakura ( OK, it wasn't exactly how I said but still....). That doesn't surprise me one bit that cool Naruto entrance...I never get tired of seeing that

While I like the whole knight in shinning ' orange' armor act, I'm still a little disapointed about Sakura being the damsel in detress. I understand that it hard for her and I didn't expect her to be all cool, calm and collected about killing Sasuke ( hell, Kakashi does feel like that too) but I would have like some action coming from her...Oh well, maybe some other time. The think that I could have a pretty good guess is that, after all her effort to avoid Naruto from taking the charge concerning Sasuke, the fact she fail that task will only make her feel even guiltier.

As for saying that SS is dead, I wouldn't say that ( OK, the change is very close to zero but that doesn't mean that we should party and do the' I told you so' act). Remember, some here can like that pairing ( even if it's a NaruSaku fanclubs, it doesn't exclude people who like other pairing...even SasuSaku)

[Ulgamoth]

Might I just say, BEST SAVE EVER NARUTO!!! And I'm a little confused as to why there is no sage mode, but I see many reasons for it so I will not dwell on it. Also, I know Naruto doesn't like using the Fox's powers, but I wish we could see some demon-cloak action, as I think that kitten is just kittening awesome. But something like that should be saved for when Sasuke has more chakra, because that would be extra boring if SUPER Naruto fought half dead Sasuke. Also, I just thought of Sasuke using his MS too much and with all the blood spurting out of his eyes, I would LOL at seeing them just fall out of their sockets. But yeah I hope Sakura gets some development soon and that maybe SS/NS can be clarified soon!

Funny...yeah Oro lost his arms, Sasuke looses his eyes. But in part 2 Oro gained back his arms...

Definitely. Like I said before Sakura has never assassinated anyone before, Kakashi has and it's still hurting him. For Sakura who is highly compassionate, to even mentally come to a resolution to kill Sasuke was incredible. To see her freeze up and struggle inwardly definitely in character. Naruto found the idea even harder to accept. But just like Sakura began to act to save Naruto when Sasuke was threatening to kill him, Naruto leaps in and saves Sakura from Sasuke. I don't know if Naruto has accepted the idea of killing Sasuke yet, but I'm thinking not. But his viewpoint may have shifted toward that as a last resort. He's certainly angry- but not at Sakura like some people here thought he would be. He's angry at the right person- Sasuke, for putting them all into this situation, putting Kakashi and Sakura in the situation of having to make the decision to kill Sasuke. Sasuke has ripped apart the team mate bond.

look i know people are upset at my thoughts but think of sakura character i could see her loving both boys. but right now the girl is in a state of shock because of sasuke she needs to be away from naruto for abit after this ark because alot happened to her. sakura crying it shows she still cares alot about sasuke


ALSO SAKURA DOESNT CRY UNLESS IT INVOLVES NARUTO AND SASUKE, and her feelings so to me its a huge possiblity that she does indeed still LOVES sasuke

I'm with you on this one. She didn't have much time to think about her feeling between the guilt trip of Sai and Sasuke's confrontation. She must be very confused and that could be good for her to take some space of Naruto and all to figure that out.

so if assuming both those theories are correct, that she needs time away from naruto, then i could honestly believe an arc or two from now could likely be a time skip or something of the sort that involves training so it seperates the two for a while? just a thought

That could be plausible. Naruto will train anyway so the two might not be able to see each other for a while. Don't know what Sakura will do but that could be good if she train ( it won't be from tsunade but that doesn't mean that there is no one beside the godaime that can be her teacher) as well as thinking about her feeling regarding the two.

who knows maybe they will introduce a completely new character to train her, oh and has anyone thought that tsunade might wake up and sakura will talk to her about how she feels?

Regarding Naruto: ENTER THE HERO.

Now, about Sakura crying, I believe that is quite simple. Some believe that it is sadder and more hurtful to see the ones you care about go wrong with their lives and waste them in something that hurts both them and you, than to see them dying. I believe that's the issue with Sakura here. Yes, she does care about Sasuke. Simply dismissing him like this, JUST because she heard about his actions wouldn't be believable. When Sasuke almost killed her, what grew inside her was the sadness and the pain to see someone you know he can do better, whom you care about going to that road. And ultimately, that's the reason she couldn't stab him. The notion that Sasuke is not the one he was time ago has been driven home, but actually killing him by stabbing him on the back goes into another level.

I believe that she's torn between Naruto and Sasuke. Not whom she'll choose as her boyfriend, because even she understands that Sasuke was never a candidate in the past. Chapter 181 served this. Sakura KNOWS Sasuke would never return her feelings, but this doesn't mean that she's going to stop caring about him. She's torn as to whom she should help deal with his pain and anger.

By killing Sasuke herself, she selfishly believes that she'll relief both. Only Naruto has other ideas. I'm pretty sure she knows this, but in order to take the burden off his shoulders and with Sasuke's behaviour AND the decision of the other Leaf ninjas, she took the burden to herself. Sai told her Naruto carries too much weight. She feels that if she carries a heavy weight, it would relief some of his.

Sakura's mistake here is that she wasn't honest with Naruto regarding Sasuke. And I expect from this arc to scream (yes, scream, not talk) at each other before things get better.

Karin : "I'm afraid Sasuke is no longer the Sasuke you know anymore."


well karin faced reality and needs to get it though sakuras head but this also proves that sakura had feelings for him

I did consider the possiblity of tsunade waking up. While I doubt that she'll be able to do her job as hokage, she could still be the consilor to help Kakashi-sensei but also Sakura. However, I don't get my hope up in that theory of her coming back.
