To be honest, I'm more concerned with how Kishi will address Sakura's new abilities now after having finally unveiled her seal. Will he continue to focus on her and Team 7 primarily or will he divide the panels amongst other characters? Chapter 632 will hopefully not be the only time dedicated to Sakura in this fight but when you consider Kishi's unpredictable writing methods anything is possible. I'm not that concerned with SS since any debatable "moments" between Sakura and Sasuke is more than likely just Kishi bolstering the pairing tension before the inevitable conclusion of NS finally coming to be. Although that could definitely change in the future depending on the significance of future SS content.

This. I really hope we see more Sakura action and am worried that she will be brushed aside now that she had her moment. I also hope to see more to her power other than super-ultra-mega-delicious-wonderful-idon'teven strength (nichijou ref.) even though it was pretty awesome! SS moments are probably inevitable but it won't bother me because I am convinced NS is end game c:

I want to see more team 7 moments too. And hopefully fandom will stop twisting moments making it look like it's  a SS moment or even NS moment, team 7 moments FTW!

[HauntedCake]

Oh boy here we go . We're only 2 days from the new chapter and people are worry about SS moments. If Kishi pulls SS moments it will be for trolling nothing more. I know he's planning to kill the pairing just like he did with NH. Let's face it he committed murder to the pairing with confirming Naruto still liking Sakura "even after everything Hinata did for him :roll:" and Minato confirming Sakura/Kushina parallel remember Kushina's final words to Naruto "find someone like your mother". 

Hmm, i'm wondering if a 615 will occur for SS.

Please don't. I don't see Sakura touching Sasuke's face giving him a pep talk that everyone is willing to die for him. We saw her and the rookies reaction when he said he wants to become Hokage.

Hmm...I think I answered a question like this before. But I guess I could again if you want an answer that badly. When it comes to how the female finds him appealing (except myself), I think it has to do with their perception of his character.  Yes he's the bad boy, but he's that bad boy that they think that change. He's the bad boy with a horrible past that just needs a little love to really open up and show his "real self". I guess what I'm trying to say is that his worst actions are mostly shrugged off because I *think* he's perceived as a misunderstood boy by them (this may not be true for all of them, but it's what I've seen.

 

And I would like nothing more than to go into a better explanation, but I have a class to get to now. But yes, I don't think Sakura really realizes yet that Sasuke wasn't really Sasuke at the time of the bench scene. And can you really blame her? The worst he's ever treated her before he tried to kill her in part 2 is after he'd gotten that seal from Orochimaru. Before then, they were at least on good terms enough for her to think that she might be able to get through to him, like most teen girls think they can get through to the "bad boy".

Most of the Sasuke/SS female fans on NF sees Sasuke has the great cool hot guy that would be a waste if Kishi doesn't hook him up with another girl and who is the girl they want is the girl the Main character likes that in a way it satisfy them that he was better than the main guy. Regarding his character they see him has this misguided buy who needs a nice girl who can change him to this loving and sweet person, and about his deed well the see no wrong with him he is a victim who did no wrong plus he doesn't need to apologize to anyone the need to apologize to him. Oh I was forgetting, they need a girl to repopulate the Uchiha clan.

Some SasuNaru fans seems to acknowledge his deeds but refuse to talk about them but are easy to lash out against Sakura character.

 

Me too but i'm mostly concerned plz NO SS Moments.

 

 

This

Am like you I don't want any more SS moment if NS is the pairing he intend to finalize the story with, a SS coming moment coming from Sakura still having hope in a future relationship with him does not hurt Sasuke character at all it hurts Naruto and Sakura character, it makes one look delusional pathetic for liking someone who try to kill her and the other one a wimp or full who cannot accept when something is not for him and despite all the effort he when to make this girl happy, the girl still doesn't acknowledge him that way. I know many disagree but this is really how I see things

 

Oh yeah, I hope so too. I truly, really, sincerely hope there is no Sasuke saving Sakura bridal style. Seriously, this is the one thing that really got me worried and afraid since Sasuke joined in the team 7 fight!

 

But since Sakura is really strong and she doesn't need any savings I can safely say that threat is gone 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.....Or so I hope

Am like you in a sense it's hard for me to picture any SS moment, but I also hope that I'm right in thinking that way.

When I read comments like these the only thing comes to my mind is that for some it doesn't matter how NS happen as long that it happens, I cannot see things that way, I believe people should enjoy a good food because it tastes really good not because it's food. No offense intended.

I honestly don't know what to expect from Kishi. Sometimes he switches to another scene and sometimes he keeps the action going in the first scene. Whatever he decides to do, as long as he develops Sakura in the future, I wouldn't really mind it. As an NS fan, I'm hoping for a forehead compliment (Something simple like Naruto saying: "Wow, your forehead looks even more charming"... which might trigger Sakura's memories about the bench scene). An as a Naruto/Sakura fan, I hope that those two keep developing both teamwork and new stuff during this war (Sakura has potential with her byakugou and Minato has a gift for Naruto, which to me might be the other half of Kurama's chakra).

He has surprised us for 3 chapters already (630: encouragement; 631: confirmation of Naruto's feelings and Sakura/Kushina parallel... I could also throw the Naruto/Minato parallel, but that might be debatable; and with 632, we have Sakura moving into the frontlines and developing the byakugou seal), so I'm trying to prepare myself for this next one.

Hey guys, check this out: http://naruto.wikia...._a_Hundred_Seal

 

 

Is that warning really even appropriate at all? Also they still haven't listed Sakura's new Jutsu on her character article's Jutsu list as of yet. Last time I saw that warning was the time that it was revealed that Tobi was not Madara and they had to separate the Tobi/Madara article into two different articles once more information came out. 

 

 

I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt in terms of the fandom not exactly knowing what Sakura's Jutsu is supposed to be, but what do you guys think? Do you think it's genuine confusion about Sakura's power akin to when it was revealed that Tobi was pretending to be Madara, or do you think it's some sort of bias that caused some people on the wiki to try to discredit the theory that Sakura's seal is a completely different seal that's more powerful than Tsunade's?

 

 

All I can say is that it is strange from my perspective.

Yes that just how I also imagine that scene to be brought back by Kishi, nothing too cliche just a simple comment that will have Sakura thinking for a moment then say Naruto you didn't, when everything is done we need to tall.

The last thing I hope for Kishi is to do make that scene in another comic relief where the Antis just dismiss it as irrelevant or the didn't have any fallow up just like they did with the Kushina parallel.

It's not that we are not concerned with how NS is finalized, we just understand that additional Sasuke and Sakura interaction will eventually occur in one form or another. Personally I would hope that any events relating to NS's development are handled delicately with an emphasis on being consistent but there is a strong possibility that SS development/resolution will be necessitated before the finale can finally arrive. In fact, if it were done a manner that depicted Sakura as having overcome her childish adulations for Sasuke whilst formulating and expressing actual, legitimate reasons for continuing this triangle for a tad bit longer then I may even support it; albeit the only significant reasons that I can think of would be Sakura likening her desire to receive Sasuke's acknowledgement with what she believed was "love" and her wanting to assuage the suffering in his heart by using these affections as others have suggested. Both of those are logical, yet morally understandable reasons for maintaining Sakura's feelings for Sasuke although I would personally want her to come to understand that she is capable of achieving those goals without sacrificing her own happiness with Naruto.

Well some of the information is questionable and open for debate like Sakura receiving a speed enhancement from it. The warning is applicable in these circumstances albeit I can't help but think in the back of my mind that the administrators would allow more leniency in the objectifying of other possible theories for other techniques and characters not related to Sakura.

I finished the seal one, I have to do the rest of the explanations.

[Inferno180]

Again, not really worried about SS, I mean the events from 631 were a game changer.

 

There will be more stuff between Sasuke and Sakura, but I just cannot see a logical way of doing things to either keep Sakura focused on him (cause how was Sasuke ever impacted by Sakura?) and especially for the fact that Sasuke himself was never given any romantic hints of interests towards others?

 

Thats just it, Sasuke still never had that development in the past, just now it fully out of character. I don't think SS would have its own 615 like moment, seriously, what would the purpose be? Neji died for 615 to occur and advance Hinata's character, this kinda stuff just going back to Sasuke now would just further the "he gets away with everything" type deal, bascially Sasuke has immunity from all consistency in the story. He can do whatever the hell he wants. This is something we don't really want to see.

 

There will be some SS stuff in the future, but with stuff like the Sakura-Kushina parallel, Jugo's preception of Sasukes real intentions, the fact that Sasuke never had a need for romance, just general development for Sakura, SS having minimal development (falling back to how both NS and NH have more development than it), and the fact that the just too much potential events were opened for NS by 631s parallel moment, it enabled so many events we can actually see coming forth such as the forehead compliment.

 

I would honestly be shocked if Sasuke just suddenly had feelings, I mean the guy has not even apologized to Sakura yet which makes the whole conditions of SS just bonkers right now, even crazier that Sakura has just shown great maturity and still focused mostly on Naruto. Only real thing I see SS is ending as friendship, the way the story has gone and with recent events, why again would NS need to be axed? I can see a kakashi-rin "i was a bad person dont love me" speech later on for them, Sakura has been great these past few chapters but I only see part of her best ending as getting over Sasuke.

 

I believe NS will happen, its just again, too many issues for SS. I mean there should be closure but I just hope kishi does what he said with Sakura, her maturity, it was outstanding in these past 3 chapters, 630 for her speech of understanding Naruto, 631 for acting rational around Sasuke and advocating to Naruto to fight, and highly in this one with her determination and displaying her power. Recent events have just opened up too much for NS to not come forward. I mean more SS will occur but where it occurs, NS also has a chance to occur. I'm still betting like the rest of us now more than ever, we are waiting for the forehead stuff to come up, its almost like its taunting us and just out of our reach waiting for the right moment to come.

[Sakamaki Izayoi]

@Don-kun yeah basically that point, putting pairing fanservice for SS is plain and stupid, because Sakura did see Naruto on a romantic way, proof is her confession and how she knows that Naruto is a better option, it's like hey lets put aside all the development for a couple of chapters just to give fanservice to later we come back to canon, it's like fillers on the manga, it's incosistent.
SS scenes next chapters doesnt have any kind of consistence with all the things that happened on the story.

[TouKen4Life3g]

It's funny, when we got Team 7 cliffhanger ending, people were hyped, though not sure on what, but now, well here we are. So was it always like this?

[megi]

I feel as if the next chapter will be focused on Team 7, and not one side pairing over the other. The 'nostalgia' that everyone felt may have led people to believe that Kishi was trying to "bring back" the team 7 of the past but I think he's trying to evolve them. Especially since there is so much focus on team work. We've had so much ino-shika-cho team 10, that I'm excited for this! And the fact is, team 7 of the past never really got team work (with all three of them) down. And I am guessing after this war they would have broken up again due to Sasuke vs Naruto. This is possibly the one time for Team 7 to shine in the manga as a team of all three of them and perfect teamwork. So I really see it as the dynamic of three. Now the pretense of their gathering to me is offputting, and really shaky, but that's how it is...

 

It will go on for probably a few more chapters, I don't think they will all release their strongest power next chapter! Probably the one after?

[StriderC]

 

To be honest, I'm more concerned with how Kishi will address Sakura's new abilities now after having finally unveiled her seal. Will he continue to focus on her and Team 7 primarily or will he divide the panels amongst other characters? Chapter 632 will hopefully not be the only time dedicated to Sakura in this fight but when you consider Kishi's unpredictable writing methods anything is possible. I'm not that concerned with SS since any debatable "moments" between Sakura and Sasuke is more than likely just Kishi bolstering the pairing tension before the inevitable conclusion of NS finally coming to be. Although that could definitely change in the future depending on the significance of future SS content.

I think she'll get more focus when it comes to action and hopefully he delves into more of the seals abilities as the chapters roll out. She should be capable of jutsu that require more chakra at this point, and if this isn't the last battle, hopefully she trains a bit afterwards, but I'm looking too far ahead.

 

Is it possible she has a new jutsu? For sure. I don't think we'll be seeing any Sage mode just yet. Maybe something else. It'd be nice if we got some sort of confirmation that she can actually summon slugs. ^^

You started good but then you went way off, people need to understand that we should not confuse SS moment with character interaction, character resolution or character development, what we brag our self about is that when it comes to NS they character interaction, development where they understand each other like Sakura hating Naruto to now becoming one of her best friend and the person who she trust the most, NS moment are the one that imply character A as being shown attraction towards character B and despite character B not feeling the same way she is starting to give sign that she mike consider liking him while character A still keep hoping while his feelings gets stronger than ever, others example are, the 450 hug, an obvious flirting like in chapter 245, Yamato's speech, Sakura's growing affection towards Naruto, etc, this is what is consider a pairing moment or pairing hint anything else is classified as character interaction or character development.

 

About the last part of your post, does Naruto has any romantic feelings for Sasuke? Does Kakashi have any romantic affection for Obito?

Why is it that we cannot hope for Sakura to try to help Sasuke a genuine way with out it haven't to be tied with her feelings or her still holding those feeling? Why can't she do it has part of team 7 who truly wants to see everyone smiling and happy has a team?

 

That last part of your post classify Naruto and Sakura in what I really don't what to see if Sakura knows Naruto truly loves her and she resorted to a confession to make him happy and give herself a chance then ignoring her development with Naruto and her Negative development with Sasuke is only throwing everything between her and Naruto to the garbage.

 

Two light thing that killed SS in my eyes was Sakura 1st confession with Sasuke leaving her for revenge and her 2nd confession since i cannot swallow the idea of Sakura telling Naruto I never liked you so forget aout my confession to you. The negative side of their relation only help me dislike the couple and find it hard to understand while the Author would go that way.

[Atheck]

You started good but then you went way off,

 

 

I didn't. The context of my post was referring to Sakura's possible misunderstanding of romance being  equatable exclusively to acknowledgement or understanding.

 

people need to understand that we should not confuse SS moment with character interaction, character resolution or character development,

 

That has always been one of Sakura's inherent flaws back in P1. She confuses the previously stated objectives with a desire to love and it's her coming to understand that she is capable of providing those things without the necessitating of a romantic relationship. Well, that's my opinion on the matter at least.

 

 

what we brag our self about is that when it comes to NS they character interaction, development where they understand each other like Sakura hating Naruto to now becoming one of her best friend and the person who she trust the most, NS moment are the one that imply character A as being shown attraction towards character B and despite character B not feeling the same way she is starting to give sign that she mike consider liking him while character A still keep hoping while his feelings gets stronger than ever, others example are, the 450 hug, an obvious flirting like in chapter 245, Yamato's speech, Sakura's growing affection towards Naruto, etc, this is what is consider a pairing moment or pairing hint anything else is classified as character interaction or character development.

The matter doesn't involve reciprocation from Sasuke, it's Sakura coming to understand who she truly loves whilst removing the frivolous reasoning that first drew her to him like his appearance or indifferent personality and focusing on qualities that actually hold meaning for Sakura being concerned about him. The realization of her desire for acknowledgement and wanting to provide some amount of happiness in his life as part of his "new family" in Team 7 not being interconnected with romance is just a possible means to an end which is obviously a very contentious issue itself.

 

 

 

About the last part of your post, does Naruto has any romantic feelings for Sasuke? Does Kakashi have any romantic affection for Obito?

 

 

Were any of those characters ever attempting to pursue a romantic relationship with Sasuke in their lives? Did they have intimate feelings or aspirations relating to him? That's what separates Sakura's situation from theirs.
 

 

Why is it that we cannot hope for Sakura to try to help Sasuke a genuine way with out it haven't to be tied with her feelings or her still holding those feeling? Why can't she do it has part of team 7 who truly wants to see everyone smiling and happy has a team?

 

That last part of your post classify Naruto and Sakura in what I really don't what to see if Sakura knows Naruto truly loves her and she resorted to a confession to make him happy and give herself a chance then ignoring her development with Naruto and her Negative development with Sasuke is only throwing everything between her and Naruto to the garbage.

 

 

 

Because whether we support it or not her "love" for him is still existent. If there was no resolution to her feelings, no comprehension that she can achieve her goals relating to Sasuke such as acknowledgement (that being one of the founding principles to her pursuing him in early P1), then would NaruSaku really and truly have succeeded without any imperfections inhibiting it? An initial misplacing of her ambitions with love could potentially kill both birds and the eventual development to separate the two, essentially leaving just trivial elements like physical appearance which Sakura would come to understand is not everything that should be sought for in a companion, figuratively speaking. But I do acknowledge that that idea has flaws to itself and it probably will not happen.

 

Two light thing that killed SS in my eyes was Sakura 1st confession with Sasuke leaving her for revenge and her 2nd confession since i cannot swallow the idea of Sakura telling Naruto I never liked you so forget aout my confession to you. The negative side of their relation only help me dislike the couple and find it hard to understand while the Author would go that way.

 

I would agree that this romantic infatuation should have been concluded the moment Sasuke chose his vengeful ambitions over her but unfortunately Kishi seems to be perpetuating the situation for whatever reason. It's obvious that Naruto has since become a very attractive person in Sakura's eyes, not just physically but emotionally as well, and even if Naruto's intentions like during the handholding scene of chapter 615 were partially romantic in nature I would still believe that Sakura would continue to love him regardless of who he chose to be with.

 

Let me just reiterate that the suggestion is only supposed to be a means to an end. An unlikely one at that but something to try and expedite the death of SS whilst providing Sakura with a more convincing means to her character development of maintaining what element of selfless concern she holds for Sasuke's well being but differentiating it from romantic sentiment. 

 

[T XD]

I think all of the chapters of the current volume is going to be about Team 7 in general, and at the end of the last chapter of this volume, Kishi will switch back to Obito and Kakashi.

 

And I think Sakura will show us more of her power for sure. This chapter was like the intro of her seal.
