This chapter discourages me on NS because it completely contradicts 631

 

I guess Naruto was joking :/

Well we don't know because he hasn't confessed to Sakura yet plus he still thinks that Sakura still loves Sasuke and Kakashi was assuming that Sakura doesn't love Sasuke anymore.

[六道仙人]

NS is still obviously the endgame. But it does seem weird that his actions and the way he spoke were very different from chapter 631.

what do you mean?

Lol, on the contrary, goes hand in hand.

[Gojira]

Lol, on the contrary, goes hand in hand.

could you explain?

[BlazingDynamo]

For me   he was sort of joking about that He maybe did not want to take that topic and he  said that to his father because he didn't  want Sakura to get depress  or think  what happen in the Land of Iron.

In the manga it didn't look like he was joking he looked serious.

@atheck
He's elite jounin level because of his chakra level.
If he has chakra levelas big as old hiruzen, perhaps I would put him on mid tier kage level.
And his moniker could be kakashi the anti crow.

[ramenanmitsu]

I have a random question: Where does Kakashi rank on the power scale without his Sharingan? It seems like he's been suffering from a dependency on Obito's power for so long that his entire repertoire of techniques and, quite honestly, his very identity, is now being put into question since he doesn't have it anymore. Can he still function as the "copy ninja" or will he be known by some other moniker now?

Below Gai and above Asuma level I'm guessing.

Kakashi's Taijutsu skills are good but without the sharingan we don't know how good he can time his evasion and attacks. Definitely not on Gai's level. Mid-Jounin tier maybe?
Without the sharingan, he won't be able to dispel Uchiha level genjutsu or cast them, so they'll probably be below Kurenai level. Possibly low-Jounin tier.
Ninjutsu is the only thing that will stay the same, but he can't use his signature Raikiri. He does have a repertoire so he can fight various opponents. High-Jounin tier.

Overall, I assume he's mid-jounin tier. Definitely not Kage level.,the only Kage level Jounin in Konoha is probably Gai.

[Liu bie]

In the manga it didn't look like he was joking he looked serious.

I said sort of Joking  because  he wanted to cheer up Sakura first all, then sort of serious saying that we need to talk later.

[Inferno180]

For anyone still believing there is somehow ambiguity to the find a girl like kushina aspect, I need to say this:

 

In 504, NS and NH fans followed it and then NH fans went balistic when 631, the second of these foreshadows came out, people acted like it was not important or just a joke, so now why would NH fans suddenly want to get back into it? They just said 60 chapters prior that this made no sense, was a joke, was a troll, etc.

 

Even those saying "kishi is still trolling" I would seriously smack them in the face about now because seriously, how much freaking trolling or messing around would he honestly do in this pairing subplot even at this point? Messing around pretains to the fact that he is not building anything constructive or even progressing that subplot, just throwing out pointless events that don't lead anywhere. And this is why I say that, its not trolling if this is the third freaking time anything with "a girl like kushina" has occurred.

 

Even some people here say it didn't resolve anything, it doesn't answer anything, um yeah it does actually.

 

This is the third time, the third freaking time we got this girl like kushina deal, something happening once may not be an event, twice requires more notion, but three times, its not going to just be something unimportant. Even then, 504 alone, it was an absolute foreshadow, a notion of what can come at the end, so I must say, people knew it could serve as something, then 631 came, with among the only other person present at narutos death aside from kushina was obviously minato himself. Now many fans, mainly NH fans flipped last year when this chapter came out, called it a joke, a red herring, confused girlfriend and girl who is a friend, now we got this third one and some NH fans honestly are now falling back into this? Either they go with it or they don't but in all of this mess, did at anytime any girl besides Sakura come into this loop? No they didn't, the answer isn't in this third time of it happening, its because we already, in both prior ones, the 504 and 631 mention, there are already direct allusions to Sakura with Kushina more than any other girl.

 

Unless kishi is a very lazy writer when it came to designing Kushina or somehow being kidnapped by cloud ninja is a greater merit in reason to compare Hinata to Kushina, more than early interaction dynamics, then this whole portrayal is stupid, and even worse when Hinata herself was never even canonically brought into these dynamics of noted similarity. the way Kushina was when she was younger compared to Sakura are just too good to be true, especially when the aspects of parallelism exist in the main plot to such a degree, why people don't count this one for just this subplot is just, god the worst excuse around, its occured so much in the main plot, why cant it occur with the love subplot? Why is it somehow terrible on NaruSaku in comparison to what it could be like with Minato and Kushina.

 

Anyone who reads chapter 3 will recogzine the similarities Sakura had with Naruto in respect for Kushina to Minato, hell even for Narutos own freaking mother to admit she once looked down on Minato the same way Sakura did in how she used to hate naruto but now is nothing short of a best friend, which girl, any girl in the series even had a relationship with naruto like this? Who? Which other girl could honestly be like or "as great" to Naruto like Kushina, maybe perhaps the girl he has loved?

 

Because I am still serious by this statement: "If Kishi is seriously intent on NH or SS, he did a freaking terrible job convincing us and putting them in later despite everything else is just nothing less than an asspull of poor execution and nothing done for the sake of convenience."

 

Because Kishi failed with Hinata in several points, he hasn't shown us much advanced, he hasn't shown us much dynamically, he has not shown us much that has changed or given reason for either naruto to move on from sakura or show us that Hinata is the one to be the love interest for him. I mean again, in 662 why didn't hinata come to save Naruto? Why didn't she get any interaction with him beyond pain? NH fans thought that 469 convinently made the end of NS, but it wasn't that easy, apparently NH fans just want an easy thought at this, but then it would be too obvious. The deal with NH is that it would be too obvious and too easy and just there, convinently right there at the end, just sitting around waiting to occur, and now tell me, as the series has run, does that seem like a good pairing, does it? You have one girl who hated the hero who loved her, while she loved another, but they went through a lot of ups and downs, the girl came to respect the hero and much later in the manga, the very one she used to hate and look down upon, she came to be one of the 2 to save him with the heroes former nemesis, and even wanted to see his dream come true. In all this change with the hero, the girl also came to change dynamicaly with the anti-hero, rival to the hero and even learned of all the impacts she had on the hero, this all impacted her to give her a resolve to aid the hero, her teammate and otherwise best friend. Then you have the other potential love interest who just already loved the hero off the bat, but otherwise didn't progress far much with him, has gotten a positive relation in friendship with him, but otherwise their moments are very rare, far and few between, other times they are left unresolved and still later in the story, the hero still loves the girl who hated him at first, even after a presumed end of crush event, event then said other potential couple gets hints saying something could occur between them while this one doesn't, now for this one to occur, it doesn't need much but to just sit around, save for the fact that the intial girl who loved him from the start is just sitting around.

 

So tell me, what sounds better? A pairing with constant development, focus, progress, hints, etc, or one that doesn't have this and just basically should occur because the other girl always loved him?

 

The difference with NS and NH at this point, especially because of this kushina stuff is, no matter how you look at it, Sakura is the one fitting Kushina's description. For this to occur 3 times, its important now, its been brought up this much, you gotta keep your eye on it, we told people this would come back again since like 631, nothing touched it and well with Minato gone, how the hell is Hinata ever going to fit into this bill when theres already a ton of comparisons any smart fan can draw between Sakura and Kushina?

 

If Naruto somehow "didnt find the girl yet" or put it on Hinata, thats just dumb, Kishi already convinced the audience enough that Sakura is similar to kushina, most directly with 631, and likewise he never displayed anything with Naruto moving beyond Sakura or looking more at Hinata.

 

NHs main problem now at this point, there is no way Hinata can fit into this besides the cloud ninja having kiddnapped her and kushina when they were younger, but is this even something to boast about seriously? Not the personality, interaction, similar pasts, minato meeting sakura? None of this matters? It annoys me even more that NH fans are now coming back to just say this may mean Hinata when its like, "dude, you guys freaking flipped on this last year and said kushinas foreshadow was a joke, didn't matter, or Minato was wrong or naruto didn't have to listen to them, naruto this freaking chapter made it clear he knew what she said, he was trying to do all that stuff, and for gods sake, when did hinata ever factor into this, we have this event 3 times, 1 of which sakura directly ties into by minato, but now people want to say NH is the hinted one again? You gotta be freaking kidding me on this sudden 180! Either the kushina stuff matters or it doesn't but no matter how they want to cut it, its sakura in there, not hinata, not now or ever.

 

Trying to even put Hinata in this, no matter by arguing or even if Kishi did it to make NH canon, after convincing the audience that sakura is like Kushina, this is just terrible writing, this would be stupid, it would be literally yes that convenient pairing just for the sake of convenience, aka NH would be nothing but an asspull, because its not enough that he didn't convince us that hinata should be like kushina, its also due to how he even has shown naruto still likes sakura and never had him get over her nor get Naruto closer to Hinata, and the fact we got not only the majority of development being NS, why is it that Hinata got left out so often, yet Sakura got the important moments with him like the hug and saving his freaking life?

 

NH is nothing but a convenient fodder pairing at this point and it occurring would just be a lackluster event and an asspull because if it occurred, there would be so many events already placed saying one thing but then completely just ignored for something else so sudden. NS isn't going by shipping goggles with this event today, we already have freaking NS proof in the first two, so how is this shipping goggles for us when we can prove Sakura like kushina with the first 2 events alone, for this 3rd event today, its just a matter of a fact that naruto still loves sakura and will/should get the chance to confess later on, when he resolves his issues, if people today still don't consider NS a possiblity, its their fault, this is the 3rd time this has happened, kishi is intent on an end pairing at that, but for even the hints to be leaning on NS espcially with Kushina, being so similar to sakura, thats saying one thing.

 

It would be one thing if kishi didn't give Kushina a personality similar to either Sakura or any other girl but he did, it would be another if he didnt have Minato meet sakura at all or otherwise did it with hinata, but both these events he did.

 

In stories when there are neutral hints, those are ones that can lead either way, but other hints will lean on some preestablished events from before and this is what kishi has done, at least twice with kushina to sakura for his end pairing hints. People ignoring this now are just going to be upset later. People can take it anyway they want but the books don't lie, the hints are mostly on NS at this point, its not outright proof NS will happen, but just saying among those hints, NS is the most likely to occur and for it too have occurred 3 times like this, I would not be expecting NH or SS at this point as much as others would hope. I am expecting NS, plain and simple because it has the development, pacing, focus, and dynamics, it would not be an asspull if it occurred, especially now with all these hints, NS fits the ending in all ways, the others just don't. Today just made again, NS the most likely pairing in the end.

[ramenanmitsu]

what do you mean?

In chapter 631, he was confident calling Sakura his girlfriend. This chapter he did a complete one-eighty and stuttered. There's no convincing reason to explain this change in behavior. It all goes back to, "he did it in 631, why can't he do it again?"

I don't doubt he meant Sakura but I can understand the confusion Pepsi and some others are having due to his change.

maybe he was again afraid of Sakura's reason...who knows... btw...  maybe now Naruto will understand that it's better he get more serious about Sakura... I didn't see that as a joke part...

[tricksie]

You know, I read the line about 'Not everything's going the way mom told me' as refering to the 'Mom told me to pick a girl like her' line. I thought he was contradicting his moms advice and having trouble following through with what she said. It didn't make sense - then I read it again, and now I think it means everything she said not just the part about picking a girl. 

 

However, I do the the vagueness of the line was intentional. Even though it hints strongly at NS, Kishimoto still hasn't shut out NH. If I misunderstood it on a first read, then it's not impossible to imagine that NHers see it as Naruto finding his mom's advice hard to follow because he like a girl that's quite different from her. Meaning, Hinata. '

 

The one thing that struck me from all of it is how much Naruto is still the immature kid. I had thought (a long time ago) he would come out of this war transformed. He would be mature and Hokage material. But he's still very much the kid he was before...and not at all ready to be Hokage. 

 

If anything, I came away from the confession thinking that he came full circle with his parents, he still accepts Sasuke as a friend and nothing is resolved or denied on the love front. It's like setting a giant reset button. Naruto is back at square one, and the stage is being set for the next phase.... One where he'll have to fight Sasuke, struggle to become Hokage and finally commit to confessing his love.

 

Last thing - I'm mildly disappointed: Now that everyone's getting sent back, I think it ends my hope that we'd get to see Jiraiya again.... 

[ramenanmitsu]

maybe he was again afraid of Sakura's reason...who knows... btw...  maybe now Naruto will understand that it's better he get more serious about Sakura...

Being afraid of Sakura's reason doesn't make sense when he wasn't like that in 631. It's not consistent.

I think this might be a set-up though for what is to come. Kishi left it like that on purpose.....or he just did it like that to rile up the fandom.

[FireFox]

LOL The this thread is on fire we have 23 active members , 62 guests and 2 anon XD   . I just wonder how many of those guest are Antis you know they are stalking us right now  but I got a message for all of the ANS : Just give it up guys its over it has been for a very long time going against the obvious is just gonna hurt you even more don't make it harder then it already is for yourselves . But LOL at those ANS pro NH/SS comments the denial is to great but their salt will be even tastier .

 

Apart from that loved everything especially Sakura's comment and it seems that she's starting to act more and more like Naruto she's showing her lighthearted nature even more around him  and that smile <3.

 

Naruto Minato part away broke my freaking  heart can't even talk about it  

 

As for that last line Naruto stopped himself from saying Sakura's name  bc they are still not in a relationship he needs to confess but it obvious that Sakura is the one he considers as his girlfriend and while things are not smooth with some things (in general) he's trying his best  so brace yourself ladies and gentlemen  a confession is coming that much is clear Wohoooooooo!!! XD .

[TouKen4Life3g]

Well people definitely heard Naruto's final words, reason why we have all of them on panel (well not all but you get it). I guess that's one moment that no one else would know Naruto's inner thoughts besides the dead, a god, and Team 7.

So Hagoromo sent them back to the afterlife. I guess that leaves Hagoromo to get a final words with the new generation. I presume the next chapter will focus on that before IT is gone unless it already is, but you can't never know since we didn't see on-panel deactivation. But maybe that's the element of surprise? I don't know. Just guessing. I'll predict later.

[redragon88]

Nice chapter, nice emotions, nice goodbyes.

 

My guess is that Kishi made Naruto hesitate in mentioning Sakura as the girl he loves in order to surprise us with Naruto confessing to her in the following chapters. At least that's how I see it.

 

Overall, I assume he's mid-jounin tier. Definitely not Kage level.,the only Kage level Jounin in Konoha is probably Gai.

 

ALL HAIL THE GAI-KAGE!!!

Tell that to the NH and SS fans on Forneverworld's video he just put up on chapt 691

 

 

maybe he was again afraid of Sakura's reason...who knows... btw...  maybe now Naruto will understand that it's better he get more serious about Sakura... I didn't see that as a joke part...

Yeah he needs to put his foot down and show her he means business

[Khaleesi]

i crIED!!! DON'T TOUCH ME!!!

 

 

Is it a joke?

 

Naruto : I've made a lots of friends they're all good guys.

 

*Panel shifts to Sasuke instantly*

 

sasuke was like: wtf man, are u serious

how can i

i just

i love you

Kurama is a tsundere. I wouldn't be surprised if he(she?) blushes and calls Naruto an idiot next chapter.

b-baka! it's not like i want to be inside you or anything!

 

wait

 

So much for Sasuke's involvement in Madara's redemption. What was even the point of that conversation and Hashirama's reminiscence of Izuna if nothing was going to come from it? Madara's redemption and death is probably the most half-assed effort I've seen in the manga yet. And it's pathetic too since he's been one of the most heavily foreshadowed characters in the series. Even Obito received an entire chapter's worth of debate about philosophy and recollection. Kishi has really disappointed this chapter. 

 

shut up 

There are a very very few characters that are evil just for the sake of it. Even Orochimaru has his reasons and his dreams. For good or bad, they decided to take a path for becoming those dreams true. If you are dying after trying 'your best' in the way to choosed, there is understandable to think that it wasn't the best way. 

 

 

>Tsundere Kurama.

HAHAHAHAHA, AWWWWW!!

I think this might be a set-up though for what is to come. Kishi left it like that on purpose.....or he just did it like that to rile up the fandom.

 

well, i doubt that he torn between Sakura and Hinata. otherwise she shouldn't have said that he will give his best.... Why? Because Hinata isn't a complication since she always loved her. While Sakura.... ell... it's a renown story...
