Sure they will explode but itll be like the Kataang and Zutara nonsense last year or so. The Naruhinas and SasuSakuans will howl and gnash their teeeth and wail in sorrow, the NaruSakuans will celebrate, and a month or so later everyone will move on to argue anew and rehash old points.


There are still some people who still bash Akane and go on and about how much better a girlfriend Shampoo was to Ranma- in what's left Ranma 1/2 fandom. I was like "Huh? What manga are you reading?" back in the day and to see some people still acting that way 15 years after the series ended in Japan with RanmaxAkane... I just roll my eyes.

Of course. Ending the series doesn't end the debate it just changes the terms from what will happen to what should have happened.

Lol, same as InuYasha, even though it was absolutely obvious. Kagome and InuYasha spent time together and voíla! They got together. Kikyo didn't really give a hoot seeing as she tried to send him to hell. Sasuke tried to kill Sakura... Connections, lol.

Edit: Auto-correct XD It said Kagome was Kabob, lol! LMAO ROFL! it said Kikyo was Julio XDD

At least Kikyo and Inuyasha had some real love relationship in the past. The only problem was that she's a zombie. In Sasuke's case he did not care for Sakura one bit. That's why if SasuSaku were to happen I would be very disappointed.

This is what I will likely never understand. The highest percentage of anime pairings consist of the main male protagonist and the main female protagonist. So, simply by default NaruSaku has always had a substantially higher chance of happening. No matter how you look at it Hinata has always been an insignificant character, even after Pain.

(Btw, how is Pain/Pein's name actually spelled ?)

Pain. It's not about Main characters, it's about development. It usually is the main characters because they spend the most time together and you get to see how they feel towards one another.

Yes, but unfortunately, some people can't actually see the development. Thus, I broke it down into simply A + B = C. Or in this case, MP + FP = PW. And if anyone actually figures out what PW means they deserve a cookie.

Good to hear that it worked out for them! Hopefully it's the same for our lovely Naruto and Sakura xD. (Pretty sure it'll happen xD!) I assume that Inuyasha and this Kagome girl had a lot of development and was "freakin obvious" just like NaruSaku biggrin.gif?

Yes, to me Inuyasha and Kagome were always freakin obvious and just like NS their relationship had slow but constant development. But I have to say I wasn't really satisfied with the ending and I'm afraid that'll also happen with NuruSaku. They did end up together but not all of the loose and were tied and we never got a love confession or kiss. It was just like 'ok, now they're together so you just fill in the blanks....'


They did kiss. Right before Kagome wished for the Shikon Jewel to disappear. Anyway the 2 relationship differ alot to me. Kagome and Inuyasha has shown obvious feelings throughout the series but NaruSaku wasn't so.

sorry your wrong. Kishi has highlighted Sakura's growing feelings for Naruto consistently throughtout the series and also Narutos since chapter 3. so it is obvious.

Nonono I know its obvious! I'm just comparing the level of obviousness with Inuyasha and Kagome. In the case of Inuyasha it was obvious from the start because they were soul-mates(literally for Kagome having Kikyo's soul). NaruSaku is a nice romantic progression which I very much prefer. happy.gif

Alright i get you but also with NS and their development you can see they are soulmates.once Sakura eventually finds out about the forehead scene. she will know.just like with Kushina with Minato. big fan of both couples too but i agree much prefer NS.

Actually the difference between InuyashaKagome and NarutoSakura is that Inuyasha and Kagomes relationship was far more contentious then Naruto and Sakuras ever was. Naruto and Sakura showed a deeper connection earlier and an ability to get along that Inuyasha and Kagome didnt for a while. The fights werent as blatant and the arguments over far more substantive things.

Both do share many similarities, a loved one in the past holding one of the couple back, a secret lover, and the willingness of one of the parties to back off for the others happiness.

Though I don't know much about this Inuyusha Kagome stuff. I seriously think Kishimoto is one of the BEST in subtle, yet obvious (strange huh) in providing evidence, increasing development, and adding such deep intense feelings to relationships. Idk how, but he just does. I've been reading Naruto manga forever, and I can't explain ALL of how I just KNOW that Naruto and Sakura were simply MADE for eachother. It's amazing. Don't compare too much... The writers and the characters all have their many differences and trying to tie the two in similarities will just make me confused xD. Plus, I have never seen a couple (maybe a somewhat similar) such as NaruSaku. Their dynamics and feelings for eachother are just so profound and unique! Like how love should be xD

@KIM As for the endings Kishi has for NaruSaku or if there EVEN will be NaruSaku. The suspicion that the NaruSaku ending will end up like Inuyusha or whatever is totally off and unnecessary to fret about... Don't worry about it dude! Kishi has not dissapointed (at least for me) and even if he has, it's been very small compared to what he's actually made for us. This anime is simply the best story I've read in my entire 16 years of living. People worry too much about if the NaruSaku ending or kiss, or hug will be all worth it and whatnot. But simply the feelings emotions, intensity, deepness, and dynamics of the NaruSaku relationship has been one of the greatest things. All this waiting and development, I can assure you that Kishi WILL NOT dissapoint. The wait and development alone has been so much for us, this is what makes love so worth the wait in the end. That's why, have no fear of HOW Kishi ends it (like with an awesome kiss or something -.-) cause in the end, the love that these two have portrayed to us, was really worth it all and makes me happy in itself.

"or if there EVEN will be NaruSaku" I said that up there ^ BUT SCREW THAT XD Im just trying not to be too biased in my argument! BUT FORREALZ. IT WILL HAPPEN!

NaruSaku love. peace yall.

Don't get me wrong. I like the story, but it definitely isn't the best I have ever read in the manga/anime category. Not by a long shot. Kishi uses too many cliches, everything is there. That's why I like NaruSaku because it isn't a cliche. He does provide this subtle tone to their relationship.
