Don't blame it on the pairing NaruSaku... Everything in the manga is reason enough to ship it. Naruto's feelings for Sakura, and Sakura's feelings for Naruto. It's a shame Kishi is wasting all that romantic and platonic development away.
Don't be ashamed of shipping it. It was a good pairing, with a lot of good moments and development. Something NaruHina and SasuSaku don't have. Be proud that you shipped a realistic pairing like NaruSaku. A positive and logical pairing.
Even if Kishi ends up messing up everything - remember. It was about the journey - quoted from Inferno ;)
I agree. I'd rather have an open-ending at this point. Kind of expected one since the beginning of the series. But apparently Kishi's going to go ahead and make Naruto marry someone - and it's very possible it's Hinata. Which like I said, is disappointing, but whatever... What can you do... :/
I'll always love NaruSaku, but no doubt if NH becomes canon, it'll leave a really deep scar on us :l
Agreed that some moments of NS which we got throughout the manga were extremely nice and some were good or bad, but in the end I believe what actually does matter is how the pairing happens.
If kishi is so stupid to make Sasuke a favourite of Sakura, and make the character who showed selfless love for the girl a silver medal, I can be nothing but disappointed. I won't like NH happening because of no development, and NS has just been so much messed up from the romanitc point due to kishi's desire to keep tha pairing war going.
Platonically I still find NaruSaku the best, far better than NaruSasu, but romantically NS/NH/SS is a no for me. I want an open ending now but I know that also won't happen. So I will just move on from the sadness I will get from either NAruto becoming a silver medal, or from a pairing which was not developed. Seriously wasted so many years loving the romantic part of story as well.
I really loved NaruSaku(romantic) but now Sakura's feelings have been showed to live for Sasuke and that is not an acceptable criteria for me seeing NS happening.
I don't think it's as bad as your making it out to be, thing is, Kishi just messed up when writing this so called love triangle, if he had it like Tsunade with her boys (jairya and Dan)it would make sense, both are kind and care about her. But he made Sasuke a kitten, so....
Yeah...that happened.
Well if their love triangle would have been like jiraiya-tsunade-dan type then NS happening would have been so much more acceptable, because for that kishi might have shown Sakura really falling for NAruto because she loved him, not because the other one rejected and demeaned her all the time, or kishi could have made SS canon that way also(after all Sasuke sems to be his favourite).
But I can't expect anything from kishi, he freakin still made Sasuke the favourite of Sakura when all he did for her was completely nothing. This completely tells whom she loves more.
I just will make myself a POAL that I won't read any of his works in future, or if I do, I will just ignore the romance in it.
