FT what's that?

Fairy Tail.

[Beastbomb]

Does anybody think that if SS ends now and NS starts becoming more romantically involved with each other that Sakura will hide her feelings and play the hard to get act or be open like she was with Sasuke. I'm hoping for the first because it could set up some good NS comedy down the road and seriously, how could there be NS if there isn't any comedy involved ;)

She knows that Naruto loves her the next thing she will do is obviously going to talk with him.
Doesnt make sense for her to hide her feelings when she knows about Naruto's feelings and how he try to hide his feelings because he thinks she loves Sasuke.

NS is going to nowhere if Sakura doesnt talk with Naruto.

I always figured that Naruto would come to talk to her first. I don't see the Sakuras confession being adressed until more towards the end because it will clear up the situation of who she actually loves. I'm just wondering if she will be more flirtatious and a tease with Naruto until that point. Naruto being oblivious to Sakura's advances can be quite hilarious. Should have clarified what I was trying to say.

I never thought about Naruto talking with Sakura on this subject right when Kishimoto is making obvious that everything is up to Sakura and that is NS or SS. the whole triangle love, Naruto doing a confess well it sounded to me just as an excuse like Jiraiya had one to never confess his love to Tsunade and also Obito, it just doesnt make sense to Naruto to say he's going to confess to Sakura when he says that she loves Sasuke only and thinks that she can only love Sasuke.

I think because of that Sai told Sakura that Naruto loves her then giving Sakura the one who's going to start NS, i dont see Naruto going to Sakura to touch on this subject or confess.

Interesting, I was wanting to see what a more flirtatious Sakura would be like. It would be a nice way to build-up before NS becomes canon an show us that she has completely forgotten about her love for Sasuke.

I'm curious to how a forehead event happen if Naruto doesn't express his feelings first (if it happens). I can see Sakura starting the conversation that leads to this event, but I for some reason can only see Naruto intitiating anything to do with romance aka: the forehead scene or a confession. I want Naruto to truly show his feelings for Sakura without being so subtle and hidden about his feelings or expressing them when Sakura is not around.

Something tells me Kurama could always be another factor to bump him into it, give a predictable joke like this:

 

Kurama: "You always had the guts to stand up to everyone who doubted you, told nagato you would bring peace, resolve the hate with Sasuke, you claimed you would become a better ninja than your mother and father, you even defeated me and made me your friend and took down the ten tails, yet you cannot confess to this girl? Guess there is one thing the great Naruto Uzumaki can never do, hope you are content with Sasuke being your only kiss."

 

Naruto (internally):   Kurama you bastard! Don't remind me of that!"

 

Kurama:

 

Anyways something will arise. I really just wonder how many people will keep complaining in situations like these if they arise, I mean we knew for years what would occur with Kushina, it finally came, people acted like "Durr, what does this mean?" or they blamed kishi for bad unknown writing, Just god, it was so simple. Now if the coming weeks we see something negative with Sasuke again, it may be more on Sakura's part, even though they just knocked over the juubi, team 7 still has quite a story to finish. Sakura's role is far from over especially as she was shown in these past chapters.

I dont see her going to be flirtations i think she will go talk with Naruto and says that she loves him and ask for a chance to prove that to him.

I like that choice to. I'm guessing that will be near the end. It's going to suck waiting for NS to become canon after the recent chapters.

Inferno, I can picture Kurama referring Sakura as "that girl" because Kishi knows the fanbases will be fired up and he won't spoil the NS ending.

 

I think there will be a long NS moment in the end, but small ones in between. (Small as in panel-time, not as in significance. Minato's thoughts mean a lot, and took little space. )

Well it seems like it's too late to do that ambiguous route after 631. Nobody will buy his story anymore since now we know what's the deal. It seems like guessing game is coming to an end. Even Sasuke having another plan is near exposed now.

@Inferno

A follow up from Kurama would probably make me bust a gut. I'm hoping for a lot more conversations between him and Naruro about personal issues instead of jus battles

People are going to see it the way they want to unfortunately and they will have to fin out the hard way. If they are not willing to listen to reason then Kishi will show them the hard way. It's unfortunate that some refuse to logically interpret the manga, but they dig their own grave.

@Sushi

Top paragraph- kitten level: F5. We will never hear the end of it If Kishi keeps this ambiguous.

I'm pretty sure we would be at code black, fandom war and rage at max power if that stuff came up, not because it can or cannot be ambigous, only because if such a moment came up in the future with still little done on NH and if SS does get hurt big time soon, well anyone against NS may go into rage mode, we would have to be ready for the S-storm of the century. I mean its still kind of hard to imagine how just about 4 weeks ago, all our theories of Sakura understanding him, getting a powerup, and even Minato meeting Sakura and thinking of kushina, those were just insane theories and others would laugh and call it nothing but fanfiction, yet it was just too good to be true, I even thought we were dreaming or that it was just going to be another troll moment at times, but its there, its real. All this stuff happened. Now all that we only speculated and others ridiculed, well 631 caused a rift among all Naruto fans that is for sure, even bigger among the pairing fandoms. Now we can only speculate how Sasuke's true motives may impact Sakura to which she may feel different as we speculated. Will she turn? Well its again just basic character development we are waiting for an answer too, her loving Sasuke has always been a long trait of hers, just like Sasuke being revenge driven but he finally got over it (in some sense) so whatever his real motives are, there has to be a reason though. But Sakura, I feel that we may be apparoching something where she is impacted by this "true motive" something will happen.

I understand what you're saying, looking at all the fandoms recently, it seems everyone is a but more quiet and on their toes because they don't know what will happen. I feel that our fandom is also somewhat quiet at this point because we are all somewhat preparing for the moment for this to all blow up and for kishi to completely destroy certain couples in the manga. I can sense some huge kitten of rage approaching by the end of the year.

This all depends on one thing though, how fast the story is moving, I mean after this recent chapter with the ten tails falling down, is it really defeated or just down for the count? Depends if more is to come with the jubbi or if the fight with it is really over this soon.

I never doubted NS, but there were times where I was going "Kishi, what the HELL are you doing!" Especially after 615. The hate for Sakura was so strong back then and every other fandom was taking shots at us. The theories that were being said about Sakura were only ridiculed and shoved aside for a... Certain character that really "Grinds My Gears..." but Kishi soon changed that and so far has proved quite a few theories correct like Sakura becoming a badass and possibly validating other ones like SSM. These last few chapters were like a big slap in the face to haters and a big Merry Christmas present towards NaruSaku shippers.

Considering how a sage powered Rasenshuriken did little more than singe Kurama's fur and agitate him whilst he was only at 50% of his total strength you would think that a beast with chakra levels much, much greater than its weakened individual component would feel nothing if hit by that attack, regardless of whether it's larger or if it's covered in Amaterasu. This attack should be nothing to the Jubi yet we can tell that it's obviously suffering because of the flames.

Here's what I see:

NS: Waiting for any SS (positive) to get out of the way as well as the resolution. Even so, we're in forever safe position.

SS: Turning orange zone due to Sasuke's latest development that will cancel any positive SS moment. Perhaps the end could have one but if NS continues to build, it's no point to think anymore.

Bolded a certain fandom will say he's referring to Hinata.

Hello, everyone. I would like to share more stuff from NF. A really good friend of mine shared with me the piece of Jiraiya's novel. Note: He said the translation is not the best, so he apologize for any confusion. Credits goes to Kronin. Enjoy.
 (Note: It's Shuu that is talking, the master of Naruto, Tsuyu and Rengi, the equivalent of Kakashi in the main series): "I'll explain you am useful little trick, to use when you have to take an important decision."
Tsuyu nodded her head.
"So, Tsuyu, when you are at a loss what to do, visualize in your mind the thing that make you more happy."
"The thing that... make me more happy?"
"In this way you'll realize alone what kind of person you are."
"I..."
"Now, close the eyes".
Tsuyu did as she was told.
"Now focus what you see."
With her eyes still close, Tsuyu catched a glimpse of... the silhouette of Naruto seen from the back. Yes, him, a silly, pervert, heedless, inconsiderate one... him that never lose his heart also even if he is rejected a thousand times.

The first time that I met Naruto we were both six years old. Then he introduced himself with something as: "Nice to meet you... my name is Naruto! You can hand me the love letter even later! Bye!"
At that time, however, my attention was completely stolen by the boy close to him, Rengi...

"Tsuyu." Lost in the darkness of the thoughts, a voice brought her back to the present. "Maybe you will not have completed the mission, but you have caught the things that for you are really important."
"Master, the village needs to be evacuated!" Tsuyu opened again her eyes, wiped the tears and pressed her lips together in a thin line. "I... will come back to Naruto."。

 

Ah, that line was what Jiraiya said to Tsunade in Tsunade's flashback, right? Although in this case it would almost seem to imply Tsunade had a thing for Orochimaru. The novel isn't written by Kishimoto, is it?
