Is their really? All I find are pictures with dumb songs over them or clips from the episodes with yet again dumb music over them...I just want to see all of the moments in their truest forms whether it be anime or manga.

Also I just finished watching Chrono Crusade and I like the romance in that anime along with the story and action. That's kind of what I meant when I said that I wouldn't mind if Naruto was more romantic. Although I hate the ending I hope nothing like that happens to Narusaku.

Just searc the name Slextrem or NS the build up you'll find it.

Not Ino specifically I just used her as an example of how the trope could be worked. though ironically enough Ino is the one person id use if I were to push such a story angle given her connection to Sakura.

Back when they picked up her after their reunion with Sasuke, I wondered if Karin would fill that role, but, seeing how Karin can't get panel time, I gave up on that theory. I just thought it would be funny if two girls left the Sasuke bandwagon for Naruto in the story line.

I just re-watched the hug scene man it's gold, pure gold lol. How it shows Naruto from the back and it makes him look so much older and sophisticated. Sakura's fingers are in his his hair, her head resting on his shoulder, and her hair also on his shoulder. The white background with a bird, couple of leaves, and the wind blowing. Absolutely amazing.

Its plausible actually. though given Karins feelings shed be more likely to tease Sakura much the ways she did when she reminded her that it was her poisoned Kunai. Karin is the type of person though whos more direct and blunt about others feelings while simulatneously being more private about her own.

[Phantom_999]

Can you tell me which episode is that? I've seen it only in the manga.

if you mean the chapter 450 hug its episode 175 and chapter 469 is episode 206

[bthug]

Thanks, I wanted to see the hug episode.

Yea I can't wait until that episode comes out in English and same with the confession, although both are going to take awhile, especially the confession.
I watched the confession and man I hate how it's so debatable.

Karin teasing Sakura could happen, but it's not really necessary since Sakura confessed to Naruto. Sakura knows her feelings for Naruto, and Naruto heard it directly from Sakura, with Sai's confirmation shortly afterward. Karin should more tease Naruto about his feelings for Sakura with Sakura right there- get Naruto to actually blurt out his feelings for Sakura directly. (basically act in a similar fashion to Sai, but from an experienced standpoint) Sakura has heard from Sai how Naruto feels about her, but she hasn't heard directly from Naruto. (remember she absolutely thought Naruto might start to hate her for going to kill Sasuke. Naruto's rescue of her and his looks and actions there gave her some assurance he doesn't hate her and that he still cares about her, but she likely still thinks that his feelings for Sasuke run deeper than his feelings for her- his words at her confession would certainly add to that impression... It's Naruto that needs the push not Sakura- she's laid it all out for Naruto already.)

Hey, guys.

Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong section, but I have some cool stuff here. If I'm correct, this is Masashi Kishimoto's first rough sketches of Sakura. Unfortunately, I can't read Japanese, so I was wondering if anyone here could translate it?

Indeed and I'm with you there Can't wait to see the dub of that episode they have annoying voices in the american version but I still love watching for some reason

True the only one that needs a little more persuasion is Naruto Not that Sakura was lying I suspected she was honest with the part of her confession even before it was officially confirmed he only meant she was lying about not caring about Sasuke. But I still don't think he's completely shaken off the his perception of her still liking Sasuke She needs to fully prove it before he's sure (IMO anyway) maybe a kiss?

I don't think there's any need. Sakura has done her part, the ball's in Naruto's court now. If anything's going to happen NS-wise, it's likely going to come from his side next.

Yea I would like to see Naruto make the next move, but I doubt we will get one anytime soon, just cause of the type of person he is and all the stuff he has to do.
Oh and I just felt like throwing this out their, but Sakura would look good in a school girl outfit.

[pharix]

I think the English VA of Sakura is into SasuSaku >.<

Yeah she would, and you mean JAPANESE school girl uniform. She would also look good in a Kimono

[Super Boom]

Well, if that's true, let's hope she doesn't up and quit when NaruSaku happens . I don't really watch the English dub, but I hate it when they randomly change voice actors.
I've heard a similar rumor about Sakura's Japanese VA. Fortunately for us it's just voice actors and not an editor, writing staff member, or someone else whose opinion Kishi might actually listen to.

Yep.

It blessedly has lots of kana and not a lot of kanji so I'll give it a whirl:

"These are my first sketches of Sakura. Nowadays, when I see them I think she's not cute. I created her from from my thoughts of a cute but tough girl character, that's how it happened. Sakura was also designed with a character personality believing in duty and equality for all. All my assistants said: "she's not a cute girl". I was devastated when they said that, I felt bad."

Whew! That's just the first paragraph- took me four hours to translate! I'm tired! I'll go back later and do the second paragraph- time for a late supper!

[Derock]

That's the same translation in the official english version.

[ciardha]

That's the same translation in the official english version.

You mean I spent 4 hours on that for nothing!? I feel silly now. I've forgotten where it appeared, where is it published in English? I'll kick myself if it's in one of the manga volumes. I literally have them sitting on my shelf just a few feet away... Well, on the other hand at least that assures me that I can still translate Japanese text well. (if rather slowly!)

Sorry, but it was the same exact words I remembered while reading/skimming the volume.

I believe its in either Volumes 1 or 2. The last time I touch those volumes was when the main branch of my public library started to collect manga volumes. I think that collecting the new Naruto Big Volume Mangas, which is coming out soon (not sure they are out), should have the notes included.

It is not exactly the same translation from Volume 3 btw in fact I like Ciardha's better as Viz doesn't include this bit

I created her from from my thoughts of a cute but tough girl character, that's how it happened. Sakura was also designed with a character personality believing in duty and equality for all.
