Is anyone else disappointed that Kishi didn't make Naruto show concern about Sakura's state of clothing and her injuries? Naruto didn't even notice it!That is so not Naruto like. But instead, It just had to be about Sasuke again! 

Is it important to him whether her clothes were damaged or not? I don't recall Naruto batting an eye towards the ragged state of Kakashi's clothes during the Kakuzu fight and there was arguably a greater sense of danger in that fight than Sakura's brief bout with an acid splash. As long as the person is unharmed, I don't believe Naruto will care too much.
 

So SS believe in this 白馬の王子様 stuff?

Oh.....I think I like Naruto the way he is now in the manga.

He's wearing a Japanese flag but he looks anything but Japanese. The American flag will match him a hundred times more.

No, if you look closely, you can see the spiral design within the circle. It's probably the Uzumaki crest.

Did Kishi make that cover? I'm sorry if anyone have already answered that. 

[ns.Believe.It]

Sakura isn't in pain just like what Rikuodu said or wound or in the death/life situation.

Naruto would care if anybody was in life/death situation. But we know Sakura is special to Naruto   So I expected something. Oh well...

Are people really getting anxious over that cover image?

Because if that somehow translates to sasusaku being canon, then it was canon a long time ago.

Did anyone else notice an older Naruto with an older Sakura in the movie concept art? :3

Where did you get this?

Tumblr, I have reason to believe the second is fanart. It mentions "Sakura's gloves" and "short hair" in English, the anatomy looks a bit off, etc.

The chapter was M'eh, The only cool part was Naruto actually having the Clone carry the chakra balls, other than that nothing exciting, Obito's sacrifice would have had an impact if it wasn't for the fact he was dying anyway, so it just happened a little bit earlier, Kakashi willing to sacrifice himself would have had an impact again if not for the fact he was standing beside a person who can warp things into a different dimension.

 

Not even the movie announcement was interesting, considering this movie was announced two years ago and was meant to have been released already, the only interesting part in the announcment was it being the Last Naruto Movie so the manga must be coming to an end. Unless the Last part was meant to be a reference to a Cowboy Duel, with the Last Man Standing? I don't know what I take offence to more, the fact Sakura is holding onto Sasuke like some damsel in distress, she should have her own horse darn it, or the fact he's riding a White Horse, He's no Hero, only the good guys ride the white horse, I demand a redraw with Sasuke getting a black horse!!!!! Then again Black Horses look really cool, Give him a damn Mule it's all he deserves...lol

That image say 'By Penny' so it's fanart, unless Kishi is using it as a penname to post spoilers on the interwebs.

The image doesn't show.

 

I don't believe SS will happen at all, but after seeing that cover I don't believe Kishi cares about giving Sakura any proper resolution with her feelings.

 

I think Kishi is fine with just leaving Sakura liking Sasuke as part of her character. Maybe in the epilogue she could accept a date with Naruto and end it on a hopeful note, but that's it.

The cover doesn't even make sense
Her "blush" is colored yellow and Kakashi still has his eye covered

This is what I'm talking about:

[六道仙人]

i would like try to analize the design here... do you see sakura's arms? How they are around Sasuke's body...? It isn't sure a romantic huge, see her hands.... it's just...weird how they're placed.... There's no human bond here... I would have drawned those hands fully attached to Sasuke's bell, but still kishi didn't that...

[Inferno180]

I don't understand why people need to fuss over the cowboy cover, its just well a colored cover, its just artwork, nothing more or less.

 

Even then, nothing happened with the SS "moment" last chapter so, I think everything else is still on track, still no resolution to the negativity before, still no solution to the mistrust.

 

So yeah SS is still in a pit of negativity and not having much luck getting out of it. NS is still fine and nothing has impacted it since.

 That looks like a NS child. Not Naruto.

I don't mind that one since it's a Part 1 cover, but we're at the end of the story now.

 

To be honest, I would prefer this type of cover since Sakura is not blushing or focusing on Sasuke there. All it would've taken is for Kishi draw Sakura without the blush and looking forward or even looking towards Naruto, but no, it's all about Sasuke which at this point I just find annoying.

 

One thing is to make Sakura like Sasuke for the sake of drama, another is show it in such a nonchalant way like in today's cover.

A) blushing doesn't just represent romantic feelings
B)Sakura didn't even blush when Sasuke caught her, don't you think if he wanted to present her still having romantic feelings for her Kishinev would have had her blushing

Well, my point is that this isn't something new. It didn't change things in part I, it's not going to change anything now.

I'm also quite saddened Obito is killed off. He couldn't be left alive in the context of the story, I know, and seeing Rin probably gave him the last resolution he needed.

[六道仙人]

I'm just recalling jiraiya's words and how his life was full of failures... He didn't be able to get the girl who loves, protect his master and his pupill and save his best friend.... All this is obviously a positive set-up for Naruto's life... Naruto will most probabily achieve his dream of becoming hokage, he managed to save his friend and his master, and he could make Sakura fall in love for him...

 

Itachi said that Minato had been able to become hokage thanks to the support of his wife and friends... Now, when the kittening Hinata has ever supported Naruto for becoming hokage, really? I didn't ever seen Hinata talking about naruto's dream, NEVER.

[awesome sauce dude]

Yeah I still don't understand the big fuss over thus cover. Doesn't impact what's going on in the cannon story. It's really just eye candy

[Gojira]

This chapter was worse than the last one

Last time it was platonic. This time Sakuras holding on to Sasuke and is blushing.

The movie anouncement makes me worry about an open ending
