Hmm Predictions.....
Tobi puts Naruto in a tsukuyomi or an equally strong genjutsu. Naruto in the genjutsu, feels all the trauma he's faced. And he starts to feel very miserable and lonely in the red and black world. Then he sees a light shine through and the next moment he opens his eyes he sees Sakura next to him holding his hand(to awaken him from the genjutsu) and the rest of Konoha eleven there at the battle scene surrounding him.
I got this idea from the scene of Naruto, Killer Bee, Raikage and Tsunade. Where they said he needs a sun or light to fill the hole in the heart. Like Minato had Kushina, or Killer Bee had Raikage. Hope Sakura could be one for Naruto. (Well, Naruto said that his parents were his two suns, but they are not alive to support him)
I doubt that will happen, but if it did, that would be a huge burn to the NH fans... I'll actually feel kind of bad for them until they start bashing Sakura again to compensate for their non-canon pairing.
So let's say NS happens... I'm trying to imagine what will happen to the Naruto fandom... Well, obviously NS fans will be celebrating, some will be rubbing it in the faces of others, although I don't agree with that. Thread titles? "Why NS Shouldn't Have Happened," "WTF Kishi?" "I've lost respect for Kishi as a writer." The bashing of Sakura will definitely increase by a lot... Do you think some people will bash Naruto, too?
Normally, we don't have much NH and SS fans coming over here, do you think they will start to come here more frequently? I think there will be tumblr posts under the NS tag about smug NS fans. I'm just trying to grasp what will happen.
Also, will any of you argue with NH and SS fans about what pairing should have happened, or will you guys just celebrate? I definitely won't be arguing with people about which pairing should have happened, lol.
It's actually the main reason why I want Kishi to make it NaruSaku before the end of the series. As you guys know, the number of NaruSaku fans grow when they have positive development, sometimes converting NaruHina fans and SasuSaku fans to NaruSaku fans. If he makes NaruSaku obvious in the middle point then we don't have to endure this Sakura bashing fest from NHinata's fans that "the story was asspul" "There was no NaruSaku proof" yada yada and so on. I know there will still be many people in denial and bashing, but at least sane people would understand if NaruSaku became canon in the middle part of the story, that they are canon and deal with it or convert themselves to NaruSaku fans.
Also having NaruSaku canon in the middle of the story gives us a chance to see why they are so fit for each other. If they become together in the ending, we don't know what kind of relationship they have. People are going to make threads of, how Naruto is going to break-up with Sakura and marry Hinata because he figured out Sakura never got over Sasuke, or after they dated they realized they only felt each others as siblings and blah blah blah.
But yeah, I know it won't be cannon until the end of the story so I guess I'd have to live with it.
