They did it with rock lee ninja pals, but I thought Kishi wrote that comic.

No he didn't it is by KENJI Taira (Story & Art) it is a homage to Naruto

We're not that worried, Ciardha . This movie is just for fun. The AU Hinata and AU Sasuke isn't something to worry about. For one, this shows that SasuSaku will probably never happen since this movie is the opposite. And the yandere Hinata isn't a problem either. Because of that major jealousy streak this one has and that line she said "Hit on her and I'll kill you!" will only make Naruto uncomfortable, annoyed, and want to get as far away as possible. That's not good for NaruHina, now is it?

The only worry you could have is Sakura immediately fawning over "nice Sasuke" since she still has feelings for him but even though, knowing Sakura's mature character and feelings for Naruto, Kishis won't degrade her .

The only problem I have honestly is the fanbases . Because of this movie, the SasuSaku and NaruHina fans are sure to be as loud as ever

This is how they're acting right now.

Seriously, you all need to quit freaking out and assuming any time Hinata or Sasuke is mentioned that the film is going to be a naruhina and sasusaku lovefest.

I'm not seeing what you panicking people are at all. I see Kishimoto's words as just he found turning Hinata into an yandere very amusing.

Since you all seem to have forgotten- Naruto looked decidedly irritated at aggressive Hinata up in his face. He looked ready to tell to her shut up and get the hell away from him.

And as for sasusaku, don't think so either- Sakura looks nervous and slightly freaked out by playboy Sasuke coming on to her in the images we've seen of their interactions.

Honestly, I'm wondering if Sakura's interactions with the genjutsu version of her parents won't play a much more significant roles in her plotline than being comedically stalked by playboy Sasuke. We definitely know Naruto's interaction with his parents and with Sakura is going to play a much stronger role than his being comedically stalked by yandere Hinata.

Note that Kishimoto pointedly is introducing Sakura's parents in the same film that will have so much focus on Naruto and his parents. It's rather obvious Kishimoto is going to be doing some parallel storytelling with Sakura and Naruto and their parents.

Exactly. There's really nothing to be worried about. Kishi has spent too much time on developing NS in the manga for it to simply be a red herring for NH and NS.

Besides, fan service is one thing, but mutual development like the one Naruto and Sakura has is something else entirely and no amount of fan service will change that.

Besides, NH and SS fan service isn't really NH and SS fan serivce. It's more Hinata and Sakura fan service, seeing as how one sided both the pairings are. Of course that could all very well change with this movie, but I have a feeling that that is not Kishi's intention.

As for the bolded, that is actually what I'm most excited about in this movie. For me, the possibility of getting even a tiny glimpse into Sakura's faily life with her parents is a dream come true, especially because of what she said in chapter 3 about how strict her parents were. I always had a theory that Sakura somewhat disliked her parents because of that, which would also tie somewhat into what Sasuke mentioned about how bonds can also make you suffer, only here it's a little less dramatic.

If we see obvious NS moments in the movie, do you think the other fandoms will count it as fillers? They did it with rock lee ninja pals, but I thought Kishi wrote that comic. Well, I only watch the anime though.

Probably. Or at least try to deny it in any way possible. Like they do with the NaruSaku moments in manga, they'll ignore it even though it's author's intent. I find it funny how most NH and SS fans are having a field day because they saw no NaruSaku moments in the trailer .


@NS is logic: Of course there full of themselves at the moment. They didn't see NS moments in the trailers so they have nothing at all to worry about. /sarcasm/

I remembered those borders. I think it was in one of the recent databooks.

Here's the interview with Kishi about Sakura:

Her parents haven't appeared until now, though he would have liked to write some scenes with them arguing (with their daughter).
While he was writing the manga, (in his mind) he had an image for them, but he lost the right timing to make them appear.
He thought that at this late point, probably no one would be interested in them - but he still decided to make them appear in the movie.

Hopefully, ShippudenBleach101 recorded the interview like he did last time too.

Kishimito-sensei mentions that even though he would have liked to write some scenes with them, he hasn’t had the chance to include Sakura’s parents until now. In his mind, he had the image for Sakura’s parents, which include back-and-forth arguing matches, but he just never could find the right time to do so. With so much of the manga release, he thought nobody would have interest in them at this point, although he still decided for them to be in the movie.

Next week, Kishimoto-sensei will talk talk about the characters who gave him the most trouble! From what we’ve garnered here at Saiyan Island, that includes Shino and Sai, but we’ll have to see for sure next week.

[TerrorKing]

Hmm, that interview sort of makes it sound like Sakura's parents are merely an afterthought and that the only reason Kishi is including them is "just because".

[Codus N]

Not so surprised, considering with how Kishi's been treating her all this time. But maybe we could get jworks to translate too. Or hopefully, narunaru.

[Gravenimage]

Translation to English please.

That doesn't sound like "an afterthought" to me at all, quite the opposite Terror. No, he had been thinking for as long time of where to include them but the storyline kept working against the scenes he was picturing. And figured by so close to end of the manga now, readers just wouldn't be interested in background characters like that. But the movie structure finally gave him the opportunity. And sure does look like I thought, Sakura's difficult relationship with her parents will be a parallel story to Naruto's warm but missing one with his parents.

So nothing about Sakura's reaction to AU Sasuke or her role in the movie darn it.

I don't think they were an afterthought at all. Kishimoto clearly wanted to add them in the story ("I wanted to show arguing matches b/t them"), he just simply couldn't find the right time to fit those kind of scenes into the story with everything else he wanted to convey, and eventually, he just felt it was too late to introduce them in the manga ("I feel people wouldn't be interested in seeing them at this point"). Even so, he wanted to show them so badly, he ended up putting them in the movie to indulge that.

EDIT: ciardha ninja'd me; exactly what she said.

We knew that she had a difficult relationship with her parest just look at her statement at chapter 3

I have to lol at Sakura's face she doesn't look not in the least happy. It's like ciardha says she's uncomfortable probably on the verge to freak out at the this new fictional Sasuke. Though she's blushing and who wouldn't? Of course she feels flattered at his attitude but still she's uncomfortable, nothing like her part 1 self because if she was she will be going gaga over him. I can see that in the movie she will end up freaking out she will ran away from him screaming that she wants to go back to her world.

Haha, I really dislike Sasuke but even I have to admit he looks pretty cute here. It's nice to see him smile

And I think Naruto is equally as freaked out as Sakura by his new personality and whatnot.
