That floored me.

[redragon88]

we need a raw for this... I will let you to know! Don't worry

When the raws are out we'll depend on you to translate the NS moments word for word. From the Minato scene to the end scene.

[Tokura Misaki]

So mangastream have twisted it. Mangapanda is better.

[shadow_Uzumaki]

Ach, Sasuke.... make up your mind for good? "I'm gonna destroy Danzo and the others! No, wait, I'm gonna destroy Konoha! Wait, no...I will BECOME Hokage!"

Seriously, just tell him a sob story about the Uchiha and he's on your side. Filial piety to the extreme....


Also, am I understanding that Minato sealed a part of the Kyuuubi's chakra in himself or did the Kyuubi just gave him some of his chakra?


Madara's complete 180 upon seeing Hashirama was hilarious.... They're so gay for each other.....



Hashirama's "So glad that we have plenty of Hokage candidates, but there IS a nigh-unstoppable beast of solid energy trying to destroy the world here, so let's focus on that ok?" was hilarious as well.

So glad that everyone's "Sasuke-kun?" was more a confused, "The hell is a criminal doin' here?" than "ZOMG SASUKE-KUN'S BACK!"

Of course, Sakura's reaction WILL be subject to countless interpretation, so be prepared.

http://www.mangapand...m/naruto/631/13 Hinata's reaction panel is interesting.... Why is she separated from the rest of the Rookies' reaction panels?

Naruto's response to Sasuke's proclamation looks like annoyance: "Oh jeez... I have to be rivals with Sasuke to become Hokage as well?"

Of course, the bolded part WILL be subject to countless interpretation as well....

[harry4e]

Sakura got Dad's seal of approval, and you can't get a better seal than 'she reminds me of my wife' ohhh how I wonder how the interwebs is reacting to that.

Damn you Sasuke, you are not becoming Hokage, if you beg maybe you can be head of Anbu or something.

So Minato who has been dead for years managed to defeat the Kyuubi half inside him already? Or was it because Naruto made friends with Kurama that transferred over to the otherhalf as well? I hope once Minato is done the other half goes back to Naruto, though it makes me wonder what is going to happen after this battle, is this coming to the end? Last year Kishi said he expects the manga to last another three years, so what is there after this battle is over?

[Inferno180]

Again, sakura is a position where it counts, she got development with minato as we predicted. Hinata may be the one sitting this out. Just again, this is the 4th time someone asked naruto if sakura was his girlfriend and the comic stuff comes up for obvious reasons. Well guess what, minato now must go to battle, no time for him to interact with hinata. Sakura's development just kept coming and still will due to this powerup.

I'm guessing with Sakura's power up, she may jump to about a 34 or so, I'm glad to see her get some ultimate power. The only way everyone else will fight is by narutos chakra relying to everyone. Wait, Sakura's new power plus this chakra shroud equals her being a very tough lady.

We know things can change at anytime, but we are not making the same mistake nh fans did in 615, cause this time, our cliffhanger came out to what we were expecting, a simple remark for a parallel confirmation. This was not setting our hopes to unrealistic proportions.

In all honesty, SS has a better chance than nh now. It's still too late to develop either of them though. Sakura just won't stick to sasuke after all this time, and this chapter may have seemingly proved that naruto still loves sakura.

So excited for next week again, but this time, I can rest without the pairing antipation because we are in action mode now, not drama and the pairing stuff ends here for a bit, our court, our shot, us leading. When naruto and Sasuke fight for hokage, I still feel that this will be our ace in the hole. Haters can say it anyway they want, some are saying naruto does not think of sakura romantically, well haters are going to continue hating, changes nothing for us, we got 3 good chapters with sakura getting larger each week these past 3 weeks. So much good I cannot stand it.

I like mangapanda better, somehow my computer doesn't even allow me to go to mangastream.

[Chatte]

An SS fan said that the weak woman thing was said after Sasuke's surprise that she joined them and she was bellitelling Sasuke for his surprise on Sakura. Then she added that speech.
Well, if we look it THAT WAY, hell, it's even better for us!

[Slextrem]

I wonder what deeper meaning, moreso who Sakura was talking to and why when she said "Do you think i'm some weak woman who cant compete with you?"

Naruto was the one that initiated her reaction, so of course she's directing her little speech towards him. The focus is on Naruto too, if you look between Sakura's eyes and Naruto's smile. Sasuke is just in the background. There's no doubt that she's talking to Naruto.

SS was practically unscathed by this chapter.

NH was sunk with this chapter.

Well, shall we say that Naruto is going to be... training for the job.



Anyway, one other thing, I'm taking Naruto's line of "She's my girlfriend," with a grain of salt. Yes, Naruto WOULD say that, but what does Sakura feel? It's a typical tsundere reaction to hit him, but Sakura's more than a typical tsundere....

He may also misunderstand what a 'girlfriend' is, if he was thinking literally, as in a "friend who's a girl" type deal, or he meant it the way we want it to mean.

Not meaning to be a killjoy, but just being cautious. I still want Sakura's actual confession before making "Heaven & Earth" canon.

Couldn't have said it better myself. This was exactly what we wanted and exactly as we predicted. The haters will always hate, but they can't change the manga. They can't erase the scene. I hate this "Naruto didn't see Sakura romantically," but with Hinata he did? Yeah, right. Naruto didn't see Hinata romantically either so check and mate.

I still don't think SS has a chance because Sasuke is not after Sakura. Again, NS is the only mutual relationship that has any reciprocation. NH and SS have none of that. Even if Sakura still hold feelings for Sasuke, that make no difference. He is not looking for love. He has never looked for love. Then you got SK. Doesn't Karin have a say too? She loves him even more than Sakura does now.

yeah it is not a 100% canon for NS, but it is pretty damn close and we weren't looking for a NS canon scene. We were looking for NS development and we got it. We also got Sakura development.

He may have conquered and learned how to properly manipulate it as he was battling inside of the shinigami's stomach for over sixteen years.

I hope once Minato is done the other half goes back to Naruto, though it makes me wonder what is going to happen after this battle, is this coming to the end? Last year Kishi said he expects the manga to last another three years, so what is there after this battle is over?

Considering the unpredictable momentum of events occurring there is the possibility the manga may only continue until the end of the year. Although I personally believe that it may continue until the middle of 2014 at the latest. It is possible that we may have one final arc devoted to Sasuke and/or Orchimaru. Then there is also the unresolved conflicts with other characters like Kabuto and Black Zetsu which Kishi will have to address before concluding the manga.

Yeah. Once I got off the NaruSaku and Sakura high, I started thinking the same things. Although the Japanese have a way of saying "girlfriend" and such, right? Hopefully the RAWs will tell us something.

[Phantom_999]

I',m going to EXPLODE now!!!!!!! A HUGE NS ship tease and we get to see awesomeness from Sakura-chan!!!!!!!!???????? Kishi you REALLY delivered this week!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only thing that I am maybe a bit disappointed in is that Naruto tells Sakura to go rest. But she quickly snaps her fingers in Z formation and tells him what for so all is well. XD I don't totally blame him for not thinking Sakura has enough power though. Maybe if she hadn't been sidelined so hard, he would have had a better idea of her fighting skills... KISHI I AM LOOKING AT YOU

Well understand that it might not be because he thinks she's weak but because he thought she used up her energy to heal him, and might not have much left to fight. he's not telling her to be passive and wait for him like a stereotypical man, he telling her to make sure she has recovered her strength before going back to the fray. That's my take on it at last.

what the heck, do you think this is narusaku victory.

don't you see naruto doubt, and he said more or less while kushina advice been confirm by no one else but minato

don't you see hinata, she look at naruto and even there are ..... and ! in her bubble speech. you must know that naruhina is canon after hand holding

don't you see sakura and ino became fangirling errr i mean fall in love for many time, and sasuke, the one who said in their second reunion is sakura ignoring sakura who get surprise that sasuke come while naruto know
and even he want to become hokage, kishi will make sasuke proclaim his love to her and nardo will congratulate and tell his father to kitten off because hinata is the one who remind him of his mother.

and kishi you... you .... T_T


me : like hell i am care

Well I can understand you sticking up for NH, and that's fine but your arguments don't really hold water I must say. first off, Naruto did not deny it, other wise he would have responded like he did with Konohamaru near the beginning, "No she is not really my girlfriend", or something like that. Minato was there when Kushina told Naruto to find someone like her in case you forgot, so his opinion is as good as hers. Sakura and Ino were not fan girling Sasuke else they would have had a different reaction, case in point, just look at Karin, for the appropriate fan girl response. Naruto and Hinata holding hands is fair game though, but you'll have to work on those other points. Its fine to say NH is canon cause it's all unresolved till the end but convincing others of it is a different matter, which needs meticulous and well thought out arguments. I'm not saying this to be mean but, that's how it must go.

Well, shall we say that Naruto is going to be... training for the job.

Well can't deny the possibility, that is true. I'll consider it, BUT WOULD she have smacked if she thought that same thing, "A girl whose a friend"? Can't deny it is a great moment thought He confirmed their relationship and close bond, whether or not it is romantic.

Or just asspull.

This is Minato, remember? He married a Jinchuuriki and was stuck inside a Shinigami's stomach with the other half of the Kyuubi, he also had a remnant of his chakra inside Naruto, he's bound to know stuff about the Kyuubi at this point....

As someone said, he was stuck with the Kyuubi for 15-16 years, I doubt he'd just sit around twiddling his thumbs or eating apples with the Shinigami....

[rocci]

@shadow uzumaki
yes i agree with you, but we still have obirin/narusaku parallel who is vocal point for obito redemption.

[Fox-And-Flower]

I can't write my feelings down in a coherent sentence...

so just have this Sasuke hokage gif instead.

[redragon88]

SS was practically unscathed by this chapter.

NH was sunk with this chapter.

Considering Sakura's lack of motivation to deny that she was Naruto's girlfriend I think SS did take some measure of a hit as well. Not too big, but noticeable.
