There's a certain irony to the possibility that Kishi might have been using a red-herring to mislead his readers. It could act as a saving grave for NS, or it could backfire on us and we're left with nothing but disappointment and the jeering criticisms of other fanbases. This is beginning to sound like an all or nothing shot to prove the OTP's canonicity.
Yeap... so yeah, i have to go through a lot of stuff until now. I am still confident because come on, I made the theory with Sakura and Hashirama Senju an year and so before and now she gets the affinity of the exact same elements needed for Mokuton, when almost no one believed so and told me I'm crazy, in the end I get to be right and I'm wrong with this? This which subtly has been an evident thing while the Sakura and Hashirama one was far less obvious?
Sorry, I might sound condescending or a know-it-all, but I refuse to believe until the movie will be out, to believe that I was right in every aspect in regards to this manga minus the pairings. I simply refuse.
Call me delusional, mentally challenged (got this one this weekend) or whatever, but I simply refuse to believe such a thing until the movie comes out and we get an explanation once and for all.
You pick on the fact that Kishi said he's embarrassed to write romance in the manga... Romance means kisses, hugs and kitten like that, excuse my language.
What were the undertones of this romantic aspect in the manga? Sakura holding Naruto in her arms more than once, Naruto and Sakura almost kissing, Naruto and Sakura actually kissing but made under a CPR moment cue Kishi's embarassment and whatnot.
Come on guys... Kishi always talks in riddles, haven't you noticed? He talks in such a way and they do things in such a way that you can apply it immediately to pairings such as NH and SS... but if you look underneath the underneath - the most recurring theme of this manga along the never giving up on hope attitude, a ninja's most valuable skill - it's always NS and SK.
You want to tell me that Kishi will marry Naruto with Hinata so that Sasuke can be with Sakura and throw away Karin UZUMAKI, mind you, his only living relative that he knows of at least?
Don't you guys get how much symbolism lies behind these two pairings? It would be also symbolical for NaruSasu pairing... a final Uzumaki and Uchiha union...
I see so many things underneath these all things that I can't help but cringe when I see others just throw them off like that... I know, indeed Kishi is the biggest troll writer I've ever seen, but in the end, he always made things well and logical...
For every big kaboom moment between SS and NH, we got one twice bigger between NS and SK.
I just cannot believe so! I refuse until the movie comes out as I said..
