Ohh...yeah I kind of remember that.

As for the bolded part, are you talking about this?:

Viz Media NaruSaku page --Click here to view--

Geez, whatever happened to that anyways? They even recognized one of the reasons as to why NaruSaku works.

The awesome last sentence so true: If anyone could actually keep him under control it would be her.

Taking out that its NaruSaku, that article is flipping offensive. Sorry but Naruto doesn't need to be kept 'in line' by anyone. When he goofs off that's his personality, and it doesn't need to be altered or monitored. Naruto's not a baby or child.

In japanese fiction, I take this as chemistry. It's a classic manga relationship.

Naruto acts before he thinks, I think Sakura will be able to reverse that. It doesn't mean she will control him, I think it's about "give and take". It's how they cooperate, for instance when Sakura find strength and light in Naruto and Naruto find wisdom and sensibility in Sakura. They balance eachother out, but I think it's exxagerated- and I like that, because it makes it funny and easier to see signs.

I don't think that's what they mean. You know Naruto can do some pretty stupid things. Like, she knows how to keep him in line basically: http://mangafox.me/m...28/c250/17.html

This is shown even back in part 1 when he brings too much attention to him before the chuunin exams. She's not monitoring him, but she does help to keep him in line and not get into serious trouble. So he'll learn from her.

Tch. I sometimes lurk SJ Twitter, and look what I see :

They must be translating the chapter or something.

What is this? Not to be kitteny or anything, but I find this quite offensive. Even if the majority of the US are NH, companies like such should be impartial given the fact that they can influence public opinion. I know this since I worked in Media myself.
How disappointing, really.

This arc has gone on far too long. We got to finish this arc. I want a clear picture for anyone to understand.

Um, think as Goku. Don't take it too hard. You know, it's not just the goof ball moment but anything in general. Think like this as an example: Naruto and Sakura want to take their kid to school, but Naruto has to be in control for the sake of his son. He goes out and say that his son will be Hokage and feel energetic, but Sakura tells him to calm down or die at home. It's like a sitcom. Trust me, us guys do need control balance. I do. Hurts but hey, I'm calm.

Agreed.
I keep thinking how someone should go on twitter and confront them about it or speak out.

Not to mention, shouldn't they stay neutral about such things? It doesn't matter that NH is the dominate fandom in the US. There is still a huge fandom for NS. It just feels unprofessional of them.
Before anyone says anything about having a different reaction if they talked about NS, yes I would be happy. But I still stand by the fact that they should be neutral to shippings and keep their fandoms to themselves/outside SJ's media.

Slap Slap Kiss is a certain kind of (manga) dynamic, but its usually done only because the Heroine has some insecurities, usually about her feelings for the lead, and she lashes out by hitting. Sometimes it can be playful but I wouldn't call it chemistry.

I am glad that Kishi has toned this down, actually. Sakura rarely hits Naruto now, and when she does its not too exaggerated anymore (he doesn't go flying 1000 feet in the air). You mostly see that in the anime as of late.

And whenever Sakura reprimands him its because he's doing perverted silly things. When in a serious or dire situation, when things actually matter, Naruto handles himself with dignity and respect. All in all he really doesn't need to be under control as the article suggests.

They probably just want followers. It's like perriot, they abuse their power. It's sickening..

Uhh bad idea to reply there. If you do that you´ll get a lot of "great replies from some NH fans. Really wouldnt do it, i have seen it before.
Also, its just twitter. Its not like they put that in the magazine.

Exactly. It's different when you do something based on polls fr example and it's something else when you show you're clearly biased as a company.
How rude!
I'd do it, however, Twitter is my weak point.
And even if it would be NS, as you said, I won't deny it, I'd be happy, however, I'd still consider it not professional given the fact that they should be impartial and not to influence public opinion.
Geeez!

Let them have this chapter and the few upcoming ones, guys, cause things won't be so much of happiness for them in the future.

This is the first time I've seen them make pairing predictions or bring up a shipping bias at all.

I wouldn't take too much offense over it. Its probably just excitement over the latest chapter (which was a pretty big deal everywhere)

However I do think they shouldn't have admitted to doing that on their twitter.

It seems that they're somewhat biased, at least that's how they're showing it to say something like this.

[Phantom_999]

I already know. It's just the episode happened before the end. I know the show ended but my point is to address the hand holding. My point is that hand holding has different meanings and we don't know yet which one Kishi chose. Get it now?

Yeah but still no dice cause like you said hand-holding can mean anything and and this was not to confirm pairings yet for Naruto (at least I HOPE not) so basically what we're doing is just guess work with the NH hand-holding. AngTara was confirmed.

Yes. My only point is that hand holding can represent anything. It's not clear and so far, Naruto does it the same: friendship. Question is: is it really all that? Again, let's wait for next chapter to settle it once and for all. People likes to keep the first impression. I don't and so far, I'm only getting the friendship vibe with the closure of Hinata. The next chapter seems to suggest that this is the rising of the alliance. I'm not saying anyone of you are wrong, this is my opinion. Clock is ticking. Get ready for the scariest chapter for this fandom yet.

[Slextrem]

Is it normal for SJ Alpha to tweet about their opinion on the chapters while they're translating? If that's the case, I wouldn't worry about it. Everyone has been flying off the wall about 615. That being said, I do agree about it being an unprofessional post. If they really wanted to share their opinion on it, they should have done so on their personal twitter account(s).

[Chatte]

I think the real deal will start after all rookies will get their panel time from 573, Pathway Towards Radiance.
By what I've seen it was Neji/Hinata's now, next will be Kiba/Shino, Lee/Sai, TenTen/Ino,Shikamaru/Chouji and lastly, Sakura by the orders of appearance initially.
In the order of the thoughts we have: Hinata, Kiba, Shino, Chouji, Shikamaru, Ino, TenTen, Sai and Lee or Lee and Sai, whatever, and lastly, Sakura.

The starting and the ending is the same, the pairings kinda match, we'll have to see if it's some sort of action in some sort of pairing like it was 614 with Neji and Hinata, representing the Hyugas, and after, Hinata, alone, as in her speech.

Anyway, the thing is it started with Hinata and will end with Sakura, that's for certain.
And since it started with Hinata on her birthday, my guess is that it will end with Sakura on her birthday (on March 28) and barely afterwards we'll see either the Kages or Sasuke/Oro.

Well, every wish has to be accomplished. Hinata got hers with holding hands, Kiba, with my guess, given he has fought with Naruto before against Madara, aka Tobi, that's what he'll do. Same as Shino. In the Itachi pursue arc. If I remember well, that was actually the set. Hinata, Kiba, Shino, Naruto, Kakashi, Yamato and Sakura.

Afterwards, I'm sure Chouji will be helping him with being "fatass" Chouji as he said, Shika, making his plans as stated. Ino will probably have a big play with keeping the morale and making sure the plan will actually not fail, as she says "I'll have to make sure the foretelling comes true". My guess is that TenTen together with Gai will help protect Naruto as she thought to herself, Lee will probably help him as well with Gai, protect somehow Naruto as Lee thinks and, as Sai thinks, he'll learn once more what it means to have friends and last, but not least, will be Sakura, being together with him, for what, we have to wait and see, as well as them two plus the rest, fighting together, as she thought to herself.
And if my guess is good, since she's the last and had the panel only for herself, it's going to be around 28th of March, her birthday (Kishi, do me a cool gift since mine is on the 29'th )
