It is true. We even have one having the book.

Hell I'll buy the book over the internet and ask anyone here to translate the whole damn thing.

The story is largely similar, though two differences are who gives Naruto's headband back and the aftermath of Naruto's being in danger.

I have a question to the people who go to japanese forums

What did they say when chapter 675 came out?

Didn't Sakura also embrace Naruto at one point?

[TouKen4Life3g]

That goes to aftermath I was referring to. In short, yes.

I'm just curious about the context of what exactly happened.

From what I can tell, there were mixed reactions.

 

There was this one that was pretty interesting: http://www.narusaku....=13677&p=527923

 

I want someone here to confirm what those reactions were, though.

I believe she hugged Naruto because he almost died. So in the movie, she was checking to see she can help that character but no good.

I wonder if it was exactly like the Ova 2011 since  Kishi also was involved in there    .

He was?

All we know is that he was involved he also designed the T-shirts  and gave CD of the OVA with them  I think that's good enough .

involved how? I only heard about him designing the t-shirts

In the whole event , you see this was done in conjunction with SP Uniqlo/UT is a Japanese retailer that sells T-Shirts designed by Kishimoto  himself this whole event was done to promote their sale and there were 200 000 copies of the OVA CD that goes with the T-Shirts  so Kishimoto has to be aware of everything and the one pulling the strings in here .

What do you guys think of this A-NS argument?

I think it's a load of crap. Sakura said that Naruto always understood her when he made the PoaL.

They're just finding stupid reasons to bash NS.

[Gravenimage]

Ignore it. Its not worth it paying attention to biased arguments.

[questdrivencollie]

It is true. We even have one having the book.

Is the book available in English?

[Gojira]

Don't think so

[rikakim94]

Is the book available in English?

 

what book? Is it the gusty ninja novel?

I think it's a load of crap. Sakura said that Naruto always understood her when he made the PoaL.

To me the post is just a perspective. One I disagreed with obviously, but we shippers all tend to have our own perspectives. But I feel like it'll be fun to answer the argument point by point, so I will...<.<

 

 

First example listed...

The implication is that they don't understand each other otherwise Naruto would have known Sakura needed to be cheered up.

 

Let me flip this around: Sakura is being selfless here and trying to cheer Naruto up even though she feels like she's the one who needs it.

 

Their contrast was Naruto trying to bolster Hinata's confidence...which he does for everyone. In the latter case, he was not aware of Sakura's emotions, whether it was because she was hiding them, or because he was too down himself to notice. In any case, do couples really have to know what the other is thinking every second of every day for it to count as understanding each other??? I don't get how this is supposed to prove anything.

 

 

Next argument they present is Sakura's confession and resolve to kill Sasuke. The thesis being that Sakura doesn't understand Naruto's goal of rescuing Sasuke, otherwise she wouldn't have tried to kill him.

If you ask me, she was doing what she felt was right, the best option so far as she knew. She had enough consideration for Naruto's feelings to try to leave him out of it, because she knew how much it would hurt him. She understood Naruto's goal--hell, I'd say up to that point she had the same goal. (Though not as obsessively or in quite the same way as Naruto did.) But she also knows Naruto is only human and isn't always right. From the post: "Naruto didn't ask for nor did he want anything like that". I doubt that would be news to Sakura. She knew Naruto wouldn't want that, which is why she did went about it the way she did. Whether or not she was right in her actions is another matter.

 

Next argument up...

Naruto going against Sakura's goal of being useful by telling her to rest. I just take that as concern for her wellbeing. And she's contributed a lot to the allied forces and battle at this point, so I doubt the concern was unwarranted. 

 

Their contrast was Naruto holding Hinata's hand (that again...) and saying "let's go Hinata!"

They're making it sound like Sakura's *always* in the background and that Naruto *always* seems to be telling her to stay there...actually, Naruto and Sakura have fought together more than once. That scene with Hinata is the only part two example there is that they can really use to support their implied argument that Naruto treats Hinata differently. (Granted, to some extent he does...because Hinata and Sakura are different people. I think he knows that Hinata isn't a confident girl, so it only makes sense that he tries to encourage her at times when it's obvious it's needed. That's just the kind of guy he is. On the other hand, while Sakura also has some insecurities, he knows she's strong and capable, having witnessed it on more than one occasion. Also, Sakura is much less transparent about her insecurities. Actually, I don't think she's ever really voiced them to anybody. Instead she resolved to get stronger.)

 

Next argument presented...

Cited from part one where Sakura almost threw the last question exam out of concern for Naruto, saying she was going against his nindo. (To further the argument of them not understanding each other.)

1. This is part one, when Sakura's perspective on Naruto was very different

2. Again, this was out of concern for Naruto. The wrong move on her part? Probably. But since when do characters have to be perfect?

 

RTN movie is mentioned briefly, saying Sakura didn't understand Naruto's lonliness. And about Naruto not understanding her problems with her parents. ....all I can say is, welcome to the point. The movie ended with them understanding those things better. (It also mentions that the movie isn't canon, which is true enough.)

 

Another example from the confession, saying they were lying to each other.

Yes. Again, people don't always do what's necessarily right. They don't always follow their own ideals perfectly.

 

Last example, using the part of Sai telling Sakura he felt she was hurting Naruto...argument being, she hurt Naruto and is apparently therefore not suitable for him.

What is ignored is her reaction, and what she did about it. She didn't want to hurt Naruto.

 

 

Naruto and Sakura have had good and bad interactions...that's why they've had the most development. And frankly, I feel this adds an element of realism to them as a couple.
