That too.

I'll think of a question to get this moving.

[AHK]

Personally, I think that there's only one question left to answer regarding the pairings: How does Sakura consciously acknowledge her feelings towards Naruto? I'm positive that SS is done, based on Sasuke's actions, especially recently, and based on Sakura's recognition of his feelings over the course of the entirety of part two, especially in the past two chapters. Meanwhile, NH seemingly constantly gets pushed to the background, just like Hinata. Naruto dies, Hinata trips and falls, gets ko'd for 10ish chapters. Naruto getting ready to fight the bad guy, Hinata gets eaten by a tree. This coupled with Naruto's constant ignoring of her advances, couples with his feelings for Sakura, makes it seen like NH is dying as well.

Like I said, the only question that seems to remain is how Sakura realizes her feelings for Naruto. I'm not really sure how it will happen. Maybe Kaguya goes after her for some reason and Naruto jumps in front of her and takes a arm through his chest that was meant for Sakura or something. What do you guys think?

Naruto gets hit with Amaterasu which means he has to take his shirt off. That's when Sakura will acknowledge her feelings for Naruto.

So, twilight tactic. Hm...

Lmao yeah, that's the most likely scenario. It was clear she was starting to get hot and bothered during the CPR scene after she cut open his shirt.

I'm not going to lie but there are times I want to use gif of Kenny saying "Well I'm going home" and proceed to shoot himself. I find it funny, but if you don't know, it will give a bad vibe in here. So I don't want to do it and I respect that. That said this is the case.

[Gojira]

This is the point I am trying to make. Yamato, Sai, Kakashi everyone can say she is outta Sasuke but Sakura herself does not realize this

I think its kind of odd how Sakura doesn't realize her own feelings while its clear as day to everyone else.

That does happen. It's why we have therapist today.

Still makes you wonder that NS would be pretty screwed had Sasuke not left the village or if Naruto successfully brought him back. We say that NS is inevitable because Naruto doesn't give up and that Sakura would have naturally grown closer to him anyway. However, when the SR arc began and Naruto learned about SS he backed down and we know at this point despite being manipulated by Itachi (for whatever reason since it turns out he was a good guy later) that he looked at Naruto and Sakura both as his close family. If SS was this resilient now I'd imagine it would be even more bad news for NS with Naruto backing down, Sakura trying to get closer to Sasuke romantically and Sasuke both gradually warming up to them.

That's rewriting life. That's life for you. It happens, it happens. You can think what if, but you can't rely on it. It's just the way it is. I mean I can say Sasuke getting killed by Itachi instead of mercy, but that's the way life takes. While you said is true that things would have been different, but if one path happened, it happened. For the record, Naruto wouldn't move on at all. Say what you want, but there are people that just close one chapter at life. Jiraiya is supposed to be Naruto's what if guy.

Yes I know but that's one aspect of this that I don't like, had it not been for multiple coincidental things like Sasuke leaving the village, Sasuke turning into a bloodthirsty psychopath right as he was reunited with Team 7 and the fodder nin making Sakura second think herself about favoring Sasuke NS might not have survived.

It just gives the impression that it was more had to do with luck then them being soulmates or gradually realizing how much they mean to each other.

Luck would make Naruto a silver medal. It's just a quick open your eyes that Sasuke is not the guy. Plus Sasuke is always the same as today, just much harsher to the point he bad mouthed Kakashi. No Sensei respect. I see it more like a quick realization. Besides, Naruto and Sakura were developing a lot before Sasuke's disappearance. Otherwise, why go to Naruto to save Sasuke? If no development, she wouldn't go to him only, note, only. Also it's the same time when Sakura realized how Naruto was always helpful to her and she was wrong.

Honestly, it almost feel like NS is always bound to happen if you want to talk about fate. It's more of when. Here, it will be early as age 17. Otherwise, it could be much later and we wouldn't know when.

Sasuke warming up to them as teammates/comrades doesn't mean he's warming up to Sakura as "love" interest he still didn't treat Sakura any better and turned her down and put her down almost every time , plus you have to take the hints that Kishi put in the manga that Naruto and Sakura are the same have to much in common and that they are compatible while Sasuke has always been the cold self centered selfish guy that never payed attention to Sakura and her feelings and that is exactly what she wants for someone to be there for her to compliment her praise her and it was shown that Naruto is that guy . Sasuke leaving or stay doesn't make much difference because Kishi made it obvious that Naruto's and Sakura's personalities do mach while with Sasuke it doesn't because that's who Sasuke is he's a cold person and doesn't care if he hurts someone's feelings and this is exactly what he did to Sakura by putting her down being indifferent toward her this is why SS doesn't work because Sasuke's coldness hurts Sakura's feelings and this is not a healthy relationship .

 

When you ship something you have to take both of the characters individual personalities and see if they work if they have things in common and Kishi never did that with SS in P1 but did it with NS which only tells you that SS was never possible but NS was chap 3 tells you everything .

 

And this argument i hate most than anything else because this is one of the main SS ones "if Sasuke have stayed"  Sorry but NO that ain't happening because guess what Sasuke was never into Sakura didn't care about her feelings , always turned her down barely talk to her (stated by Sakura herself ) and was always indifferent about her while showing more interest to certain people and things then her particularly to some Orange Baboon like they like to call him so ask yourself this how can something like this even work ? But even so Kishi made it to damn obvious for us to miss it that no matter what NS was always the direction that he would have gonna go whether Sasuke would have stayed or not the "what if" question is just an excuse nothing more nothing less .

So I'm sure most of you already know that some people consider the last chapter as a confirmation that NH will happen or an indication towards Kishimoto's real intentions. Because of Hinata's dream. Now I'm going to do what I do best. Completely and utterly destroy that argument.

 

OK let's start. I'm pretty sure some of you understood that the dreams we saw are impossible or implausible.

 

Hinata's dream - Naruto and herself sitting on a bench in a romantic way. Not possible. Naruto hasn't showed any feelings towards her that would give us the impression that he's interested in her. So that one was easy.

 

Kiba's dream - Him being the Hokage. All I have to say is "Yeah good luck mate". Another dream that isn't going to happen.

 

Shino's dream - Discovering a giant insect. Sort of plausible. And I say this because in the Naruto universe we have a lot of strange creatures. Example we have giant frogs, snakes, slugs etc.

 

Chouji's dream - Finding a girl for him. This one I have to say is really possible, it's actually one of the very few that's possible. Finding someone who likes him for eating a lot could happen.

 

Shikamaru's dream - I hate to admit this but I didn't quite get what he wants. Apart from Asuma coming back to life. The part with Temari, I didn't really get. Does he want to have a relationship with her without marrying her or what?

 

Ino's dream - Sasuke and Sai fighting over her. Not possible. For two simple reasons neither Sasuke or Sai like her. Sasuke has never been interested in the opposite sex and Sai if I remember correctly thinks Ino is ugly. Maybe in the future Sai would be interested in her however right now he's not.

 

Lee's dream - Defeating Naruto and Neji and winning Sakura's heart. Sorry not possible. Defeating Naruto not going to happen, defeating Neji (if he was alive or he comes back) plausible, winning Sakura's heart no way.

 

Mickey Mouse's dream - Gai and Lee acting "cool" be her standards, not going to happen.

 

The Mizukage's dream (Mei) - Getting married. Plausible.

 

Tsunade's dream - Dan (who is the Hokage), Jiraiya, Nawaki alive and Orochimaru is a good guy. Sorry Tsunade but it will remain just a dream.

 

Gaara's dream - Having a family and Naruto as a friend. I have to say his dream is the sweetest of all the dreams that we saw.

Now Gaara's dream is half possible. He still has Temari and Kankuro and Naruto is his friend. It's not the way he wants it but in a way it already exists.

 

 

Now I ask you is NH confirmed from this chapter or is this an indication towards Kishimoto's real intentions? (By the way that's a rhetorical question)

[TouKen4Life3g]

I can actually go deep into this and say the point of them being not possible at all. One day, right now I want to rest.

Well I could easily talk about each of them for ages, and possibly make it in such a way that none of the dreams seems possible. But I would rather not do that.
