What the kitten this chapter.
What the kitten Naruto.
What the kitten Hinata.
Just what the kitten.

Yup.

It's not that hard to find, when you think about it. NaruSaku.com

But.. But that would imply that they bothered typing that in their url bar, I would not go typing naruhina.com any day.

@ primary colours123


So they can make fun of us and mock our depression/panicking after years of having to listen to arrogant NS fans talking down on them on how NH will never happen and NS was canon. Hell, I'd do the same if I was them.

Ah... maybe, but to be quite honest, most of the time, I found NS lovers to be the biggest critics of NS. It was as if we were being way too cautious, and for a good reason too.
NH were always surer than us...

[rocci]

I've always wondered if NH had a base like Narusaku.com, but I guess their base is NF?

NF, ONEMANGA forum, mangafox forum

I can only imagine what the anime team is gonna do to animate this episode lol

[T XD]

It's like Hinata's confession

People, please, be reasonable. This chapter is the same of what Hinata said in Ch.573 and it's one of her development way. Now, she's holding his hand like she said to support him in the fight and after the war she's done with him, like SHE said.

Everyone should expect things like this from her to happen. Sakura's part has yet to come in the manga. So for the love of God, some of you should control themselves.

Actually, people aren't freaking out that bad, I don't see the need for constant "Calm down" posts.

Forced?

[Rikudo Sennin]

Good chapter, Obito was really trying to stick it to Naruto and Kurama was so funny. Bee doing the a head to head bjiuu ball was awesome.
As for Hinata, she was really good too. Too bad the shipper fan base went crazy. Naruto is in the fight of his life and all shippers can do is see love everywhere. Actually what stood out to me was that the final page is a prime set up to update/evolve the hyuga clan with Hinata as it's leader. Especially with the hand holding part when Naruto boosts into bijuu mode. I think we might get to learn more about the hyuga clan and their eyes, uchiha's clans eyes are already figured out, only thing left is the byakugan.

You're kidding, right ? I'm reading some posts and I can feel some of the agony pain and scream inside of them.

Definitely.

But the panel with Sakura looking definitely means something.

i don't think there are something special with hyuuga. their power come from the "absolute" defense kaiten, stopping chakra point, mid range attack, and 360 degree vision. it's clear as sky for me kishi didn't develope byakugan. if he is neji will have more screen time.

ah what can a golden byakugan do in this kind of situation?

[Nefertieh]

Definitely.

But the panel with Sakura looking definitely means something.

Because "Hinata would never hurt Naruto?"

[xxRomanceGirlxx]

Definitely.

But the panel with Sakura looking definitely means something.

It actually is kinda funny ... Hinata's face doesn't even really look berating. It's just like "I'm slightly annoyed but I regret that I hit you. Forgive me. I didn't mean to."

I now know why I prefer Sakura's punches over Hinata's slap. At least she'd be able to look angry and fierce to Naruto a bit more easily than Hinata. Probably say a her words more strongly too.

Agreed. Can't wait to see more of Sakura's reaction next chapter.

[primary colours123]

BTW, did anyone find Kurama to be anti-NH?
I mean, he was trying his best to remind Naruto that there have been many people apart from Hinata to have sacrificed themselves for him. Cutting Naruto's thought process everytime it turned towards Hinata.. etc.

No, i don't think so. The last chapters we have gotten to know a lot about the sharingan and rinnengan which included(speculation on) where they came from and how they can evolve. And no i wasn't talking about a golden byakugan whatever that is. If you take the concept of "romance" from the final panel, why would Hinata be fighting alongside bijuu mode Naruto. We already saw how badly she did fighting Pain, this fight is several tiers above that. Also something interesting to notice is that the bijuu outer flames cloak also envelops Hinata.
Neji was never the main hyuuga hero, Hinata was. She was the weak one that was supposed to lead the clan.

I HAVE ARRIVED.

I'll admit, this feels like a football game that we were winning by a ton of points and then suddenly the other team score 7 touchdowns in a row and is currently winning. Seems that way. At least at first it did. Then you kind of re-read the chapter, re-evaluate and say, "Oh, this can be interpreted in multiple ways, but I really think this chapter's about development!"

Another confession of mine: yes, I did sort of flip when I read it the first run through, and made the HUGE mistake of exploring the Tumblr tags. Yeah, biggest mistake of the night so far. Anywho.

As far as Hinata goes, I think people are right to assume that the Rookies' character development will come to a close in the order of which they spoke. Well, not exactly in order, but in similar fashion, with Sakura being the last person to do something. Hinata's development throughout the story has revolved around Naruto, but the results of that development haven't really shown-- at least until now. Strength wise we've seen some development, but until now, we haven't been able to see just how her development could be of significant relevance to the plot. Piece by piece, this is what happened:

- Neji dies
- Naruto loses hope in himself and his ninja way because Obito calls him out on not being able to protect his friends
- Hinata reminds him of who he is, what he's taught everyone, and why the alliance is even fighting a seemingly impossible battle
- Kurama backs this up and reminds Naruto that his parents died believing in him

I understand that the N/S half of the fandom is upset because maybe a portion of us feels like it should have been Sakura to give Naruto a reality check. But if we think about it (and I know everyone's been saying this all night long, but I want to make sure this point hits home!) this is what Hinata wanted. She wanted to be by Naruto's side. She wanted to walk with him, hold his hand- she did. Does this really mean it has to be romantic? At first it seemed like it, and hey, for all we know this could be what Kishi had in mind all along and just strung us along for the Trollocoaster. But the people freaking out and jumping ship, and the N/H fans declaring their ship canon are forgetting a few important things.

- N/S has been developing since the beginning. Its development, in my opinion, skyrocketed in Part II and then slowed a bit, but it's been there constantly.
- Naruto is the main character, and as far as we've seen, his feelings for Sakura haven't changed unless during the war he decided Hinata had his heart.
- We've seen in previous chapters how Sakura reacts to Naruto/Hinata interaction. As someone mentioned before, it seems almost like a forced hand. But it makes sense-- every time there's a seemingly victory-worthy N/H moment, and even more significant and blatantly romantic N/S moment happens. Sort of like an evolutionary Red Queen effect, where one one-ups the other (until one ship becomes canon or not canon of course).
- I don't think this is a big deal, but neither character blushed during the entire interaction (and if Hinata did, I didn't notice it).

I'll admit that N/H fans did have something to be happy about this chapter. To be quite honest, almost any shipper is happy if their two characters interact whether the moment is romantic or not; the relationship and the bond between the two characters is a primary reason why people even ship in the first place, even if it isn't always romantic. So yes, N/H fans rejoice. Your characters interacted and it had pivotal significance to the story.

However, I will say it's not over until a ship is explicitly, and not implicitly, seen as canon. And when I say explicitly... (just kidding!). Anyone thinking of abandoning ship-- do not give up hope because of a little Hinata development!!!

[Poison_In_Your_Coffee]

Let me draw your attention to the most important thing of them all: I was right! I totally called the NH handholding last week in the thread for chapter 614! I'm so proud of myself.

Seriously, thought, This chapter is everything I ever wanted for NH. Hinata inspired and encouraged Naruto, as I hoped, like Naruto had done for her earlier. The handholding was very sweet and fit well with Hinata's thoughts earlier in the manga. I think chances for NH canon are very good now but I am not ready to call it yet. I'm going to read ch 615 again tonight. Maybe I'll have more to comment then.
