she doesn't look shocked?? Where are you people getting this?? she just looks like she's being shy, like she was sometimes in part 1 around sasuke.... I don't see where she looks shocked here???

Hmm but now that I see that sweat-drop....I'm not surrrrree!!!!!

Well Uncomfortable would be a better word.

[redragon88]

If you look closely Sakura's shoulders seem a little tense. Sasuke is acting very kind and charming with her so she's obviously gonna blush, any girl would. But you can see that by her eyebrows that she's kinda forcing herself to smile.

I'm sure everyone has found themselves in a situation where you sort of force yourself to make a smile just because you don't want to hurt the feelings of the other person. Sasuke is probably saying something flirty to Sakura so she smiles so as to not appear rude.

[Sakamaki Izayoi]

Her smile is forced and her left eyebrow it\'s more like she\'s uncomfortable and nervous around this new Sasuke. Her blushing is obvious that she\'s embarrassed or flattered at his behavior. It\'s understandable for Sakura to act this way, seeing this Sasuke is like an alien feeling. Because she clearly knows this is NOT the Sasuke she knows very well but the one who only has a goal of revenge and now is filled with hatred (depending in what time the movie is taking place, is it before the kage summit arc or after? So we don\'t know if canon Sasuke already attempted to kill her the two times).

think of an alternative universe i dont think this sasuke tried to do it two times because naruto didnt knew who his parents are before, so this \"universe\" does not have any statements with the manga only the characters.
but jiraya is missing so i can only point out that it\'s before the pain\'s arc.

BTW can someome translate this?
it's from takeuchi.

Or afraid creepy stalker dude will switch to screaming anger if the wrong thing is said. I wonder how many women in both Japan and the west will look at that picture and go back to a moment where some guy giving off a weird vibe was getting just a bit too attentive.... Oh yeah, the forced smile with the clenched teeth, the raised eyebrows, tensed shoulders, and in real life a nervous girly laugh. Yep, been there.

My first thought when I saw that picture was that they were promoting the food stuff that had their pictures on the menu - I recall people wondering why the hell Sasuke was next to something sweet when he hates sweets; but his genjutsu self probably loves sweet things.

And if they are trying to show Sakura being attracted to Sasuke, they are failing pretty badly. The animation team couldn't have possibly made Sakura look any more awkward in that picture if they tried. Naruto looks pretty goofy too. Sasuke is the only one that looks halfway normal (as in relaxed stance), and even then its weird because its Sasuke looking like a normal, emotionally stable human being.

Seems legit (no sarcasm intended)

Naruto looks like he simply can't mentally process what going on in front of him.

You're also right when it comes to Sakura. There's a big difference to the way she smiles and blush there to the way she does it here:



Take a guess who she's looking at in that pic.

Poster versus Anime.

She's looking at Sasuke and how he are awesome.

To me it seems that Naruto and Sakura were just casually walking around when all of a sudden Sasuke appears and screams:

"Lets go clothes shopping, girlfriends!"

Hahahahaha omg I couldn't agree more!! This new metro sexual Sasuke is just too foreign to me. I wonder what regular Sasuke would say about AU Sasuke. Also Naruto and Sakura's expressions say a lot. Both look so uncomfortable XD Naruto's face says WTF straight up while Sakura's trying her best to keep her composer lol!

New info:

http://news.mynavi.j...2012/07/14/028/

The 61th volume of the Naruto manga will exceptionally start being sold on July 27th, the day preceding the release of the new movie.

As a commemoration for this release, the first people to buy the volume in the targeted shops of the campaign will also receive a special one-volume comic called 'Naruto - Maki no Nin'.

In the special volume 'Naruto - Maki no Nin' people will find a special manga drawn by Masashi Kishimoto linked to 'Road to Ninja - Naruto the Movie' (that will be published in the 34th volume of Weekly Shonen Jump, sold on July 23th).

Furthermore, they will also be able to enjoy a long interview with Masashi Kishimoto to be found only in this book, plus many of his sketches, the plan following the path of the main character Naruto, and so on - it will become a complete volume covering both the movie and the original work.

Please be careful, because this book will be distributed only in the bookshops targeted by the campaign. Also, since the book will be given only to those who arrive first, once the volumes are finished the distribution will be terminated.

To know which shops are affiliated with the campaign and thus will be carrying the book, please check the Shueisha official site (http://www.naruto.com/).

Someone's GOT to get a copy of that special volume and scan it.
Also, I think Kishi perfectly captured the creepy factor in the cover of Vol. 61. Kabuto's sickly pale, scaly skin, his unhinged jaw, and his zombie-like pose (he is often attributed with a corpse theme) would give anyone the chills.

If by that you mean, to get the interview then yeah. The special chapter will be out on next week's jump anyways. So, no biggies.

EDIT:

Here's a bigger version of the preview for Road to Ninja's special chapter:



Can anyone read the bubbles??

EDIT2: Nevermind, here's a rough translation from what the translator can read:

In the picture on the right, Naruto is saying "Wait a moment! Thick Eyebrows isn't a person like that!". The other two images are cut off, so I can only see 'but' and 'to'. XD

On the left, I think the Lee picture has the words 'is remaining' written on it. On the Sasuke flashback picture, I can see 'He...' but then it gets too blurry for me to read.

And I think Tobi is saying something about his first necessity being that of researching what the person that is to be trapped desires...?

Props go to mezzo at NF.

^ I wonder how exactly Tonton being black fits into Tobi's research of Naruto's desires.

I can understand the involvement of Naruto's parents and the different personalities of Sasuke and Hinata. Minato's and Kushina's involvement is the obvious one since Naruto will probably make mention of how much he wants to see his parents.

Then Naruto might make a mention of how he wants a girlfriend, but he forgets to mention that the one he wants is Sakura, therefore Tobi just assumes that any girl is fine when he overhears it. He'll then notice that shy Hinata already has a obvious crush on Naruto so he'll make a genjutsu to make her aggressive about her crush, thus granting Naruto's wish for a girlfriend.

Tobi will also include a friendly Sasuke in the genjutsu, which will tempt Naruto for obvious reasons, but he might make him flirty as part of a contingency plan because Sakura also got involved in his trap.

When it comes to the rest of the different personalities of the AU characters I'm just going to assume that Tobi is simply being a troll.

You just made me think:

What if Tobi is Kishimoto himself??
