But with Naruto, it was a childish crush, but later become love due to Sakura's traits, but still his love for her was never a motivation of his life, he wants to be hokage but his love for Sakura is not connected not even mentioned, and also many other things like wanting to be acknowledged by the village and even why he wants to save Sasuke, it's looks like the Poal was just another of the things that Naruto does to not see Sakura sad(emotional sacrifice), his desire for her happiness and the whoel "how can i" i just an excuse really, i dont think he would ever try to confess his love for Sakura because it needed Sai to do it for him, Naruto would never do this because it doesnt make sense, how he would confess if he thinks that she really loves Sasuke, what's the purpose of it?

When he tries to hide it and even turn his date requests into a joke.

it's like Obito when he went to confess to Rin but in the end dropped it because he knew that she loves Kakashi and still thinks that way.

 

So they think that Naruto's love for Sakura is not serious because it was never a motivation of his life or neither any of his goals.

 

I feel that Naruto's confession is not needed and neither important because the impact of it already happened when Sai told her that Naruto loves her.

It's like Hinata trying to sacrifice her life for Naruto again.

 

I'm not sure on how to take this exactly. Sure, we can admit that Naruto's motivation to be acknowledged and to become hokage was his main goal. However, I have to disagree when you say that his love for Sakura was not mentioned in part 1. His battle against Gaara (when you protect someone, that's when you become truly strong)... and his feeling of guilt for being unable to save Sasuke for Sakura (I will bring him back), it just proves just how much Naruto wants Sakura to be happy. Sure, this also transitioned into Naruto wanting to save Sasuke on his own will and personal goals, but you have to keep in mind that Naruto was the one giving Sakura hopes (in fact, this has been mutual through the coursse of the series). Maybe it might not be necessary to have Naruto say "I love you" to Sakura, but we do need them to talk about their situation. What we have had so far are hints that they might be going towards a relationship, but my take is that they need that hint to make them realize that they've been there for each other all along.

 

And you know what? It would actually be very nice to have Naruto try to confess to Sakura, only to her be assertive towards him. With how much they know each other, this would actually be a really nice scene to see. And of course, this would also be the chance to bring the resolution to Sakura's feelings and in the process, the moment when NS finally becomes canon.

 

So you may disagree, but my take is that Naruto's confession actually serves quite a great deal of purpose.

 

EDIT: here it is. This is something that I think Kishimoto has portrayed through the course of the manga. Problem is that it may not be seen important. However, I actually think that this is the most important lesson in this manga. Hence why I believe that Naruto's confession/Speech with Sakura will serve a great purpose: http://www.mangapanda.com/naruto/552/8

http://www.mangapanda.com/naruto/552/9

 

The care and concern for your friends and for the people you love is what actually makes a good Hokage. The Third showed us this, the Fourth also showed us this. We can even argue that The First also showed this. However I wanted to point out that Itachi says that Minato became Hokage because he had Kushina and the others by his side. So Sakura standing by his side would make many things clear, including the approval for everyone to have Naruto be Hokage and the importance of becoing strong thanks to your desire to protect and count on others.

 

Having the people who love you and who you love by your side...

 

And when you think about it, who would be best to keep Naruto in line with his duties as Hokage? That's right!

hmm no wonder there are no ns moment after kage summit arc, because kishi separate them to the point he literally cut sakura screen time and make naruto drink amnesia potion to make sure naruto forget that he love sakura for 3 year in rl. and whenever any pairing moment he skip it. example :

1. when sakura ask naruto "if you don't like me, just say it" than naruto change to another topic.
2. when he met kushina, naruto ask her lovelife and when he remind the advice he skip the girlfriend part.
3. when he met sakura in kyuubi mode for the first time, he only say "are you hurt sakura?"(i belive this is a foreshadowing)
4. and the last one when minato ask sakura if she is his girlfriend, the one who answer that is naruto. why?

all that thing would lead ns to canon and will downplay VERY HARD chapter 615.

Did he really say that? Can someone help me find the chapter, cause that sounds awesome. Also if he changed the subject then it looks like he was answering her question, just in a different way.

Ns has a lot to bring forward though I mean there are still many events to build it up more. The parallel of 631, that rather just opened everything and it's not too insane for a forehead event in the future. But the biggest stuff would come during the fight between naruto and Sasuke. Either way naruto or sakura will be the one for the confrontation of their feelings. No matter how the girlfriend event is looked at or the past event with her fake smile, ns may just start to build off this.

[Sakamaki Izayoi]

@darkess
Why not naruto try to confess to sakura?
It is necessary to make a pairing canon. And if naruto indeed confess to sakura than will answer( either she accept or not is another story) while obito drop it because at that the other friend come into scene, and obito indeed know that rin kakashi but he stil love her just like naruto to sakura. Obito even regret why he can't confess to rin.
And all confession always follow with answer except Hinata confession who only want to say love to naruto because at that time she tought that was her last change before naruto dead.

Does it really need?

Because it's all up to Sakura i dont see Naruto doing confess because it's from him that it will come but from Sakura, she knows about Naruto's feelings and take those feelings in consideration if Naruto confess it wont change that, because the issue that does not make NS canon yet is Sakura's feelings not Naruto, if he confesses it's like Naruto pushing NS, i believe that it will come from Sakura, he may give a response to it which could be a confession but again Kishi proves more and more that Sakura is the romance driven character and i think she will take the first step not Naruto doing a confession because Sai already give the impact of it.

Sakura take Naruto's feelings in consideration whcih is something that Naruto has not did with Hinata.

It's just doesnt make sense to me that a confession from Naruto will make Sakura love him, because Naruto doesnt have the balls to make a confession not just from his petty excuse using the POAL as a reason to not confess and even Obito's parallel is there to say the same thing.
Anyway i feel that Sakura will have a difficult time on convincing Naruto that she loves him unless if Kishi uses some even to make Naruto realize that she loves him rather than Sasuke.

 

@Shadow wolf.
How this exactly counter my argument i said that his love for her is not connected with his main goals, the gaara battle, protect your friends but it wasnt because of his love for Sakura ofc it plays a role but it's look like a whole, and then his objective there wasnt just to protect Sakura but also his friends and to show Gaara that he was wrong because Naruto felt that he and Gaara were the same( had the same past and etc)

 

About Itachi's speech, Itachi said he had Kushina and the others but Naruto think about everyone (all his friends) not someome in particular like Itachi, and from there states a difference on Naruto's, his personal desires wont affect his main goals, like fullfilling the promise and saving Sasuke or protecting his friends because in the end he will still be kage because he was acknowledged by everyone.

Naruto didnt pursued Sakura's acknowledgement romantic wise, yes there are panels when he think about it but he never put it to work.

unlike Sakura who pursued Sasuke and even tried to leave the village because of it, and Hinata which pretty much chose to die but later stopped pursuing Naruto.

Also about the confession thing is that there's no impact on Naruto confessing to Sakura rather than be a pairing moment, it's kinda obvious that this( if it happens) wont be a moment where she falls in love with him.
i'm not against a confession from him but there's no impact on his confession anymore.

If the scene for NS to become canon is done by one of the two, it will be a high moment, basically showcasing maturity, acceptance, appreciation, etc all along with the resolution towards Sasuke.

 

The whole deal with NS is that if this is the entirety of the romance subplot, well it makes sense considering the relationship that was built up and the events given and how they all lie underneath the main plot for Naruto.

 

But still given the reasons like 458 and the revelation Sai gave to Sakura, those events will come back. I kinda feel Sakura's whole upcoming impact from Sasuke's motives, it may not only be an ordeal of maturity but also here happiness, saddness, hope, basically the development between Naruto and Sasuke that has impacted her. Just this time, perhaps something different will arise.

[Cherry-Bloss93]

 

You know.....you brought up really good points about naruto as of now i really do not understand why narusaku has to be plot driven i just want naruto and sakura have a decent conversation like in the begining of part 2 , but i guess sasuke dramatization is much more important than individual character and romance development.

 

Second issue that im much more concerned about is the possible regression towards naruto and sakura over sasuke. I have to admit the begining of this volume i had a little hope that the new volume might try redeem the drama of the previous volume. When sasuke showed up the quality steadily started to drop from their on.

 

For the first bolded part : Kishi has been doing this a lot lately just when he's about to execute his good ideas he just rushes it therefore creating a poor execution or worse create more questions than answers. As for narusaku i hate to see it happen in such a sloppy matter, but it might happen if kishi continues to fool around with other rival pairings or as i said before the unnecessary sasuke dramatization. 

 

The second bolded : Not going to lie, but it will impact many fans in such degree that naruto forums might close down. worse of all constant negative articles will appear making some pretty good points of why NS happened.

 

I really really don't mean to sound like a debbie downer, but this is my final chance i will give to kishi if its going to take the death of sai to knock some senses into naruto and sakura just because kishi for some reason can't make both his main characer and main heroine overcome there sasuke problem themselves.

I will stop reading this series im sick and tired of seeing the progression regression over and over again with these two. 

 

I will elaborate later on other issues of the manga that's harming the quality as of lately for now that's all i have to say. 

 

I personally think that NaruSaku has been both relationship driven and plot-driven. The relationship development between Naruto and Sakura since the beginning of part 2 (and even since the end of part 1) should be proof of that. The relationship development was established even before the parallels became a serious thing. I think that Kishi is really just using the parallels to drive the point home.

 

I would completely agree with what you said about the relationship being plot-driven if it were not for the incredible development between Naruto and Sakura as characters that occurred even before the parallels.

Ah Thank you very much. I thought it was at some other time and not during the confession.

 

I was just wondering do you guys think Sakura knows just how strong Naruto is right now? That just doesnt have to go for Sakura either, does everyone get a feel for powerful Naruto has become?

I believe she knows enough because she always believed in him. When the time really comes in terms of health, that's where she needs to help. For now, she did her job, but it can always return. She trust him completely. I mean when you think about it, after that speech from 628, she was very motivated to the point she said Shannaro. That's no easy task. Talk about difference from 635.

[Sakamaki Izayoi]

Also shadow wolf this is why i dont belive that Naruto would confess, i know it's a good thing but Sakura has to tell Naruto that she loves him now.

When did I say that my point was to counter your argument? What I wanted to point out is that, even if its a sub-plot, Naruto's love for Sakura has been mentioned throughout the course of the manga. You said that his love for Sakura was not even mentioned and we have Gamakichi and Sasuke speaking about what Naruto was capable of doing for Sakura's sake (Gamakichi with the girlfriend stuff and Sasuke helping her realize that she has never seen the "real" Naruto). Of course, this isn't a romance manga, but love plays enough of an important part in it. Maybe Kishi has stretched out "friendly" and "brotherly" love more than "Romantic" love, but it has been there, so you can't say that Naruto's love for Sakura has never been mentioned because that is in fact, a lie.

Well i think i misinterpreted you and you misinterpreted me, i'd said that his love for her wanst mentioned when it comes to his main objectives like being kage, bringing peace, and save Sasuke.

 

Ex : itachi told him that the ones who become acknowledged become kage, he says Minato had Kushina and the others at his side, Naruto thinks about all his friends with no special focus for his love interest Sakura.

In Naruto's battle with Gaara, the one who was in immediate danger was Sakura. If he didn't defeat Gaara, Gaara would kill her, while Sasuke's life wasn't in peril. Gaara wasn't attacking him or anything. Of course, Naruto wanted to protect Sasuke too, but his MAIN priority at that time was Sakura because, like I said, she was the one who Gaara was threatening to kill if he didn't beat him. Throughout his battle, he thought of Sakura, looking to her when he felt unsure of himself. And when he was about to be swallowed up by Shukaku's sand, he looks at Sakura, still trapped in the sand's clutches, and gains the strength to summon Gamabunta, and says, "I will protect Sakura-chan!!! No matter what!!" And he doesn't stop trying to defeat Gaara until he learns Sakura is okay; only then does he relax.

That's because the main point of Itachi's speech is for Naruto not to forget about any of his friends, not just his love. I think if he would have thought of Sakura in particular it may have detracted from the scene. Plus it's war... he's got more important things on his mind at the moment (like saving the world).

 

 

Also about the confession thing is that there's no impact on Naruto confessing to Sakura rather than be a pairing moment, it's kinda obvious that this( if it happens) wont be a moment where she falls in love with him.

I disagree. I think if Naruto were to confess to Sakura it would have a huge impact, including on Sakura. Of course, if he only said "I love you," then it wouldn't have that much effect because we (and Sakura) already know that, but all three other confessions in the series (Hinata's and both of Sakura's) had something more than just "I love you." In Hinata's and Sakura's to Naruto, they talked about how they kind of came to love him, and the impact he had on them, and in Sakura's to Sasuke, she talked about how much she loved him and how she wanted him to stay in Konoha, etc., etc. So if Naruto were to confess, I think he would talk about how much Sakura, individually, has done for him, and how much he appreciates her and cherishes her, and all that, which I think would help with Sakura's low opinion of herself, especially when it comes to Naruto ("The only things I can do for Naruto are so small," "I'm the one who's hurt him the most," and so on). Plus, it would have him openly showing affection for her, which we haven't had much of in Part II (because he thought she was in love with someone else). AND, it would add to the theme of "new generation surpassing the old," because while Obito didn't get a chance to confess his feelings to Rin, Naruto would (for Sakura).

1-yes his love for Sakura make him surpass his own limits and do that combo and then summon gamabunta but also saving Gaara was one of the reaons why he wanted, he wanted to prove to Gaara that you have to cherish your friends and the path that Gaara walked would only lead him to more darkness and loneliness.

 

2- Which proves my point about it, Minato had Kushina but due to the third hokage seemed like Orochimaru should had become hokage, both Minato and Orochimaru had the acknowledgement but Minato had Kushina which was a Jinchuuriki and thus she had political influence over the village.

 

3- This is the impact, didnt Sakura smiled later because Naruto doenst have any burdens to bear anymore?

Sakura has become strong now and she has confidence on herself something that she didnt had before.

Sakura did a lot of things and this will be adressed later but still wasnt the reason that she will love Naruto.

The fact is that there's no impact, the impact of his confession already happened when she see the poal on Naruto's point of view and all the things he did to her from his point of view and how he sacrificed his own feelings for her sake because of her love for Sasuke.

That was the impact that made her to cry, and why it made her to act like Naruto on the confession thing where she accepted Naruto's feelings, the fact is that with or without the confession she took in consideration Naruto's feelings and was ready to support Naruto no matter what even if it means that she has to kill Sasuke for it so yep the impact already gone, the only impact that would seal the deal for me is Sakura breaking Naruto's mindset that she can only love Sasuke by some sort of event, Naruto can tell her about her feelings but the impact is none  and also it doesnt need a confession to tell her those things you stated above.

Naruto could've said that on the summit arc to cheer her up.

Like i said it's the same thing as Hinata trying to sacrifice her love for Naruto again.

Wait, huh? He wanted to save Gaara? At the end of their battle Naruto told Gaara that he knew what his pain was like, but if he tried to kill his precious people he would stop him, making Gaara realise that his strength came from his desire to protect his friends but I don't think his main motivation was to prove that to him...

She's slowly been gaining confidence in herself, especially since her last power-up, but I wouldn't be surprised if she still had insecurities (especially related to Naruto, like I mentioned before). I don't know what you mean about her loving Naruto.

You're right, there doesn't need to be a confession for those things to be said, but considering the nature of the words, I think him telling her he loves her would be a natural consequence, right? Like he may as well tell her.

 

He could have, but I don't think he knew that Sakura felt like she only ever made mistakes and caused him pain. And he never did tell her those things, so I don't see why he couldn't in the future.

I said one of the reasons not the main becasue there's no main reason.

Sakura gained confidence on herself not slowly and accepted her role as someome who stand back healing people.
her insecurity comes from the fact she wasnt capable of helping him but she did that on this arc, healing Naruto and then got that power-up and fought at his side along with Sasuke, but before all that Naruto acknowledged her along with his other friends.

About Naruto x Sasuke well Naruto told her to not get involved on this with a serious face so i dont think she's going to get on the middle once again.

 

About the impact i said there's no impact for both of them, for Naruto it's a win/win situation where he would not be capable of thinking if Sakura accept his confession because she cares more about him than her feelings or because she's now in love with him he cant tell the difference unless some event happens(because Sakura is lying a lot and it's even shown that she's capable of lying for Naruto's sake which she did a lot of times and also Naruto lied too) and about Sakura also doesnt have any impact because she already acknowledged everything that Naruto did to her and also saw the POAL thing from Naruto's point of view and his effort for her happiness.

 

I feel that the first thing that should happen is Sakura stop with her lies and hiding her emotion giving fake smiles, i hope Sai confronts her and put an end into it.

Probably thinking naruhina would be cannon by the end? It would be hard to deny it after the hand holding and the acceptance of the parallel. I would still ship narusaku though but kishi is a sly person. She made Hinata's longtime wish come true while still promoting narusaku on such a great basis by reconfirming naruto's feelings and confirming the parallel. On that part I say kishi did a good job and showed naruto has no romantic feelings for hinata

Possibly the "red zone" as people classify that specific temperament as being. It would certify that our interpretation of the characters, events, and personalities was inaccurate. That Viz's rendition of Kushina's words advising an infant Naruto to not approve of the first girl that he happened upon was more accurate than the more literalised translations offered by Mangapanda and those who have an in-depth comprehension of the Japanese language. But why go through all of this effort to depict Sakura's feelings as having shifted from Sasuke to Naruto? Why allow this conflicting mindset of hers whilst preventing any potential romantic interaction between Hinata and Naruto that could attest to their relationship being the final result of the manga?

 

Would Sakura's disillusionment from her childish fantasies of Sasuke and growing affections for Naruto have only been a deception tactic or could Kishi have been using these past several hundreds to allow Sakura's mentality to develop so that she can judge Sasuke for the qualities that are significant in finding a relationship like their personality and actions? Then there is the issue of how Naruto would become dissuaded from continuing to seek Sakura's attention. Would any reciprocation of his feelings be outright denied or would Hinata finally entice Naruto to see her in the same manner that she sees him?

 

There would so many variables to account for in the scenario that you're suggesting. Variables in a disorderly storyline that is continuing to lose what semblance of consistency it has left when referring to the female characters' romantic subplots.

Spoiler Alert: Naruto says something stupid next chapter. Also, Sasuke. Lots of that guy.

 

Is this serious or?!
