to be honest, i love to see some NaruSaku - im so waiting for it.
but why is Naruto not thinking of Sakura in the last chapters? i understand that they are in a war right now and the least that he should do is worry about his love life.. but when he saw Obito's flashbacks, although he admitted they are the same, he's only thinking of how they're childhood was like and that they have the same dream... Naruto isn't stupid, he definitely understood what Rin is to Obito, but that still didn't trigger him to think of Sakura.. even with the latest chapters when the focus is with ObiRin, there's no indication from Naruto that he understood him because he has someone in his heart too... if Naruto is only doing TnJ about dreams and comrades, if he wont touch the subject (love interest) which is basically why the guy gone insane, is the last talk enough to bring Obito back to the good side? any ideas?
being able to read the manga this far.. all i could say is that..
It might not be like he isn't mentioning Sakura or the romance aspect but rather Kishi isn't just showing it to us.
may it be to keep the final pairing a suspense or it could be to compile the suspense and made a BANG out of it for saving it to the last part of TNJ.
how many times was romance cut out in a time it should be addressed??
Kushina's last words to baby Naruto.. why did he not mention the last part about the girl and romance???
after coming back from the flashback.. he mentioned not being good in class, having friends, the 3 shinobi vices Jiraiya embodies, etc.
even in the RTN movie it was omitted.
and now again, with Obito and Rin its obvious Naruto should think of Sakura right?
but why is it not being shown?
It smells rather fishy if you ask me.
I think we are about see the biggest confession of this manga 
--
anyhow, I’m quite disappointed with myself.
why did i have to check threads from NF?
bad bad bad move.
if push comes to push...
Rin and Obito had no more chance of getting together simply because she died.
She died loving someone else (Kakashi)
Obito wasn’t able to confess as he said when he was about to “die”
Obito was not able to become a Hokage that Rin is giving all her support with.
What does it do to NS?
What’s the hero of this anime gonna do about it?
repeat the same shizz!?
of course he won’t let down the people who supports him.. specially that one person!
Sakura! HINATA! the one who was ALWAYS there for him and give him some manly squeeze on the hand and some moe chakra to the cheek.
Who gives an apple that Naruto coincidentally was shown in a flashback before the team 7’s 2nd reunion to actually THINK about confessing to Sakura??? thats some old shizz that will surely CHANGE by now since our manly hero changes his goals and mind as a past time.
that's why i hope some people would stop making us look like we are desperate to draw in the parallel with ObiRin.
its like digging their own grave.
of course aside from the OBVIOUS similarities to the two team setup, there are still differences (understandably because they are different people).
those difference are actually a PRO to NaruSaku.
-Kakashi unlike Sasuke came from being the trash who abandons his comrades to a full blown yummy hero.
-Sasuke on the other hand started to be the hero who would risk his life just because he "doesn't want someone precious to him die AGAIN" such a sweet boy he was but then he is now the trash in the ugh.. can.
-Obito and Rin "died" they were not able to grow together anymore so nothing could've change.
Rin died loving Kakashi. Obito not being able to confess his feelings.
it is a DEAD END to ObiRin
if maybe they were able to live and Obito was able to protect and confess to Rin
something could've change.. maybe yes maybe no..
but what made NaruSaku different?
They were able to develop long AFTER than ObiRin could.
Naruto is gonna live and survive to confess to Sakura before its too late.
and MAYBE, just maybe it is that "thing" we are waiting for to change Sakura's feelings completely.
I may support NS but i will not throw away facts. Sakura as far as we know carries some romantikku feelings for the Sauce.
but a manly confession from Nardo himself MIGHT change the setup once and for all.
afterall he is the hokage who would make a path out of a DEAD END
Kidding aside... this chapter as we know is the start of some yummy TNJ by our hero.
Reading it again made me want Naruto to confess to Sakura even more. afterall ObiRin is having the spotlight..
I wonder if Naruto would include him not being able to admit his feelings towards Sakura in his TNJ?? like saying he learned or realized something from talking and seeing Obito’s memories. how similar they were..
The closest thing he got in common with him in regards to death is Jiraiya and Neji but those two even how special to Naruto could not fit in or amount to Rin’s death.
Killing Sakura isn’t necessary to draw it all in a circle. a heartfelt realization on Naruto’s part of not wanting to disappoint that person who trusted and supported him might be something more meaningful than a dramatic killing..
Just imagining this
"I'm watching over you now, you can't hide anything"
Naruto: that is why i won’t hide anything anymore too. so don’t hide the real Uchiha Obito.
c'mon Kishi! no to regrets! and no to shortcuts!
