I really can't get off my head the face Kushina makes in the trailer when she screams Naruto's name, specially considering it's too similar to the way Sakura does it, she even gets the voice toning right. It's because of this kind of scenes that I really believe NaruSaku will happen, if it didn't then what was the point of Kishi making part of Kushina's last word to be for Naruto to find a girl like her.

The more Sakura and Kushina parallel each other the more awkward it will be if NaruSaku doesn't happen.

I have the same feeling. Well I would talk more but, I will be away for now. Hopefully any new info releases before trailer.

Question to all: Do you honestly believe Kishi will choose other pairings and not NaruSaku because of the teaser?

I haven't believed Kishimoto would choose another pairing since chapter 3 in Naruto's case and chapter 13 in Sakura's biggrin.gif

Nope, the teaser serves the purpose of drubbing up interest and thats what happened. The other ships can enjoy what so little was shown but its just a teaser.

Well I'm happy with the response. Honestly, he knows what's his doing. I don't doubt his work. It is his work and Naruto is not a quitter or a guy who changes his mind, hence not reacting with love to AU Hinata. If he does, well it will be OOC. But, I can't wait for the full trailer, as well as new info.

^ This

If there is not 100% assurance that it's there, then assume it's not important and move on. Like Chaos said, if the animators intended to have Sakura blushing, they would have made it obvious to the viewers, like they have in the past. This, for example, is indisputably a blush:




^This, however, could be debated about all day long and we'd still be sitting where we are now. (Although, after looking at the two different screenshots, I can't see how people even thought there was anything on her face to begin with. But that's just me~).

My suggestion is that we forget about debating whether or not she blushed at Sasuke and move on to something else, because in all honesty, Sakura turning red for half a second affects absolutely nothing in the storyline. I'm more curious about her reaction to Sasuke *after* he presents the rose to her. We still don't know if she actually accepts the flower or not. Or maybe Naruto shows up and gets in Sasuke's way - who knows? Any thoughts on that?


Thanks for that explanation, Why the focus on her Blushing or not? If we could not see it on our sets(TV, PC), it only means that it was not meant to be considered a blush, unless they expected every single fan will freeze the image to then do a supper zoom to know if she were blushing or not. Slextrem I wouldn't worry if she accepts the flower or not, I would consider it rude if she doesn't, canon Sasuke is a jerk but this one is being nice to her. Her behavior after she recieve the flowers is what will matter.

Like many point out already, she may start out this way but eventualy she will feel uncomfortable around him before the movie ended.

Honestly, I see a slight pink tint on her cheeks, but I really don't see why it's a big deal, if that's what people are assuming. She basically has Konoha's resident pretty boy offering her flowers, it'd be odd if she wasn't blushing a little bit.

Besides, I don't think blushing is that rare of an occurence in anime. Hinata seems to blush anytime someone even looks at her.

This pretty much. Shipping is pretty good viewer bait. And more viewers equals more money, or so I've heard.

Yeah...this is done to attract all shippers.

Think about it

Hinata is more assertive, which makes NH fans happy

Sasuke is nice to Sakura, which makes SS fans happy

and Naruto and Sakura are the only ones in the genjutsu, which makes NS fans happy.


It's all for the money.

I can't find a not-stupid-AMV version of it on youtube but it reminded me right away of the way Sakura said "Narutooooo" in one of the fillers

Not just you, K9 and me too. What I find telling is the same people that are so insistent that a nonexistent blush is there in that 2 second scene with genjutsu Sasuke, and want to ignore the startled and flinching away clutching her robe in a kind of freak out reaction , are the same people that continue to insist that Sakura doesn't love Naruto- despite several absolutely positively blushing scenes when she has been speaking to Naruto, including the scene above, her confession in 469-70, etc... Hmm, I think I can come to a conclusion about where those people are coming from...

Well, we see her immediately flinch backward and clutch her robe with a kind of freaked out expression... She doesn't look happy or mad in reaction, startled and nervous- a controlled freaking out. I could see her starting to laugh nervously and accept it, then flee back inside, and freak out more overtly once she has a wall between herself and Sasuke.

I'm sorry but, I can indeed see a blush. Is it significant? Probably not. If some random dude popped in on your balcony and gave you a flower, you would either flush of embarrassment, surprise, shock, or happiness. I'm assuming shock and surprise in that scene and there's nothing wrong with that. It's to be expected, they're teasing with SS and NH scenes. It's bound to happen and to lure everyone in.

I don't find it helpful to deny that there was a slight shift in her skintone. It obviously isn't the same kind of flirty blush she had when she flirted with Naruto, nor was it her perverted blush when she see's a yaoi scene. But she still flushed there, and it's perfectly acceptable.

She stepped back in surprise and shock. She was probably having a perfectly normal and friendly conversation with Sasuke before he suddenly pooped out a huge rose. Playboy's often do that in other animes. The scene was much too short to assume she was about to nervously laugh, or turn him down, or anything of the sort. They wouldn't leave that in because they're trying to keep people guessing.

Just like they didn't show what Hinata was upset about and all we saw was a nervous Naruto, and not the usual nervous Naruto when Sakura is shaking him around.

Calm down, the over defense is reeking in here. It's just a trailer. facepalm.png

Frankly, I think it's silly to even doubt it. It's been patently obvious, if you know manga plotlines since chapter 3. Really, the first color illustration image of team 7 in chapter 1 made it clear to anyone paying attention that Sakura would fall in love with Naruto. That image was meant to set up the storyline of the whole manga. I saw that and chapter 3 and I knew narusaku was the ending for Naruto and Sakura.

And yeah, I laughed at Kushina's "Naruto!" because it was so much like Sakura's and Naruto's reaction too.

Hmm, try Shippuden episode 2 (I think) for the Sakura and Naruto scene- Sakura's reaction to Naruto's bragging to Konohamaru about having an "even more perverted" sexy no jutsu...

About Hinata, I really don't think she's gonna be the one to convince Naruto to accept his parents aren't real and to fight the villain, it just doesn't feel like her role. That's why I think she might be telling him to get his head straight and to grow a spine about something else, the only thing I can imagine that being about are his feelings for Sakura.

I really think Naruto might reluctantly let Sakura be happy with this Sasuke at the expense of his feelings but Hinata eventually gets wind of the situation and gets pissed at Naruto for acting like a coward. In that scene in the trailer she'll probably tell him that this coward isn't the Naruto she fell in love with so he better grow a spine and go tell Sakura how he truly feels, that really feels like the attitude this AU Hinata could take.

About Sakura slightly blushing, really don't care. I already explained before that she'll eventually turn AU Sasuke down, it doesn't really make sense for her to fall for a fake. The circumstances of her rejection however might depend. She could turn him down because: she likes a different Sasuke (SasuSaku), she realizes that even a good and normal Sasuke isn't what she truly wanted in romance (NaruSaku), she just decides needs to ignore the illusion and go help Naruto no matter what (implies nothing).

You know, in the balcony scene for all we know maybe Naruto is inside sleeping (a man can dream, right?) while Sakura stepped outside for air only for Sasuke to appear. Like someone explained earlier, the whole "I'll always be your ally" thing might've been said by Sasuke after Sakura rejected him.

I must admit, I like your ideas. About some stuff about Naruto growing some spine and such. It's a nice speculation. I really doubt Kishi will leave NaruSaku out of it. It is his most worked and logical pairing of all. No doubt and no, I'm not being biased.

Anyway, this is one interesting week. I want to know the purpose of putting Sakura's parents in this film of all places.

I'm almost to that point of no doubt, but until I'm to the point of no doubt I'll HAVE to give Naruhina the benefit of the doubt. I already consider Sasusaku as illogical pairing, because it doesn't make any sense or match up with series ideas of what love is. I just now have to get rid of all doubt of Naruhina.

You know what else would be awkward if NaruSaku doens't happen? Remember that OVA that was released last year? The one where Sakura hugs an injured Naruto in the end after his fight with Sasuke.

I bet if you find people who don't read Naruto or just simply don't care about pairings (people without bias), show them the OVA and asked them if they consider that hug Sakura gave Naruto to be romantic or not I bet the answer will always be yes it was romantic. I really don't remember any time when a girl shows that level of concern for a guy and it doesn't imply something romantic hidden there, especially when it concerns japanese anime. Recall what happens, she starts crying and her tears fall on his face, those tears probably woke him up and then he gently touched her face, finally she's so overwhelmed with happiness the she hugs him right then and there. A few extras to notice is that she's letting him rest in her lap which I'm pretty sure always implies a romantic vibe in Japan, when she hugs him she lets her face get buried in his exposed chest, additionally just before she hugs him we notice that Sakura cried so hard for Naruto that she even got a runny nose (if that isn't love I don't know what is). There's also that "I'm ok, please don't worry" smile Naruto gave Sakura when he touched her face and then the "Oh thank God" smile Sakura gave him in return. That really looked like the end of some romantic movie.

Naruto really does everything to make Sakura smile, even when he's half dead injured, doesn't he? smile.gif

Can you imagine the series ending with Sakura and Sasuke together while Naruto is alone and then you go back and see that OVA, you'll just ask yourself why? why did they make Sakura show that much care and love for Naruto in that scene only for her to be with Sasuke? Way awkward.

seriously?

when have I ever said I was "ignoring the startled and flinching away clutching her robe in a kind of freak out reaction"? I know it's a surprise blush. I'm just saying absolutely denying that her face color changed isn't fair.
