You know the interesting twist is that Sakura knows the Sasuke behind the mask already and stops him from furthering action. Naruto may question what and why, and Sakura could say something it was nice to be together but you got to wake up because Sasuke is not one of us still. Naruto may go like you was happy to be together again, and Sakura will respond that as much as she wants to Team 7 to be together, it's not happening here and she has to act cool with it because she don't want to ruin Naruto's happiness with Team 7, especially since he worked together with him. But that's all over, now time to stop Sasuke.

Or something like that.

To me, Sakura's face in the last page undoubtedly shows a big focus on something. I really don't think she's thinking about Tsunade here, and to me, she isn't focusing on the war either. She suspects Sasuke. It's way too linked with what Sai and Juugo just said. Even if Sai didn't really said he heard what sasuke said, it's clear that it's this very moment while Sasuke said " burn " or " burn it down " we should suspect (i would like to have the precise translation of what Sasuke said...). Again, Sai is the key that unlock secrets. Kishi added too much hints 'till now that are pointing toward Sasuke being suspectable. It was far too easy to make him good again just like that.

Just before, Sakura was happy enough to let a tear down. Witnessing Naruto and Sasuke combine their attacks was so great.

I'll be honest, while reading this page, i almost cried. I empathised a lot with Sakura by watching her overwhelmed by joy. It was thrilling. Her being so full of joy before is reinforcing her very grave face in the last page of the chapter.

 

I think Kishi wrote everything like that so he could draw team7 team up one last time before Naruto and Sasuke fight.

I think things might become ugly.

It's almost like, "We took down the Juubi... Now really. What the hell are you doing here Sasuke?" LOL

that chapter was okay-ish, Im actually really pissed off that sakura just went back to healing fodder... :/ don't get me wrong, i know shes a medic and that her job but it's so boring. It's kishi just trying to place her in the background again and let all the men do all the work. i truly believe slug sage mode is completely off the table because: from what shizune said it seems she's only just started to work with the slugs :( 

 

sakura capabilities right now are dull and repetitive (copy and paste from tsunade)  and i was hoping for kishi to add something more to give her an edge. when you compare what she dose to sasuke and naruto -it's kinda lack luster imo 

 

anyways some good point is that sasuke still may have bad intentions which is great from a story wise perspective if he still retains his dark side. 

one thing that did intrigue me was sakura in the last panel, she looks concerned - could be about  about tsunade or sasuke 

lol. Look at the bright side. There are so many other characters with wasted potential and no real growth at all.

Bolded: I could say the same for Naruto and Sasuke who really have no original moves and just copy paste from others. Even the rasenshurikan, which I could argue was already in concept with Minato. We already have other characters, not to name names, that are even more repetitive still. So to be fair, compared to everything else, at least Sakura got something and we shouldn't complain that much.

[megi]

I don't find Sakura's abilities repetitive or boring at all! They are very useful. Plus, I'm sure Kishi is building up to her new abilities. It wouldn't be fair if Naruto and Sasuke get all the toys :)

 

Is anyone else thinking this? What is Gamabunta doing? 

[Gravenimage]

Maybe when Sasuke tries to surprise attack Naruto Sakura will stop him expecting he was going to betray them and then she will give him the same glare Naruto gave Mizuki when he was about to kill Iruka she will tell Sasuke the exact same words.

 

"If you lay a hand on him, I'll kill you!"

Her moveset isn't necessarily boring when you look at it. For me personally, her fight with Sasori was one of the better fights in the series given it was a very intense fight. Even with the lack of jutsu, Sakura made the fight VERY excited IMO. Loved the part where she tricked Sasori into believing she was poisoned, and when she saved Chiyo by yanking his cords. Jutsu don't make a battle excited. It all depends on how the battle is played out. Just my two cents on that bit.

If that happens..... The fandom might as well just go crazy that would just be like gg. Seems exciting to think about but I doubt it would be in the exact same context if it does happen but we can dream.

I see a plot twist coming, but I don't think it'd be one that's super obvious. I could see something sort of under the radar.

I've been thinking at this for a long time...maybe without the I kill you... but something along the lines of "Don't lay a finger on Naruto!"

Same as in Road to Ninja..

It baffles me why so many people including NS fans are still bend in the idea of Sakura not being good for them, I mean there is always a reason to judge her or some criticism towards her character.

In this chapter, Sakura basically took Tsunade's role. It was necessary. It's HUGE guys. It's HOKAGE level.

Ok she's healing, but she's healing the entire shinobi alliance. She's aknowledged as a really skilled girl.

I really don't know if Tsunade would have been capable of that. It's so many people it's almost freaking.

It's pretty logicall she split Katsuyu to heal everyone. That will give every shinobi an extra time for battle.

If that does in fact happens it will mean Kishi has kill SS worst than NH

Eh to me naruhina somewhat doesn't matter at this point because naruto's emotions are fully clear. But this event is somewhat set in stone as something that might happen such as what happend in road to ninja where sakura said "I won't let you have naruto!" As chatte mentioned. Naruhina is somewhat dead already but I believe if this happend kishi basically just killed both of them off. Seems to good to happen this early but it would be great nonetheless!

I know right? To me I think it was a good idea for Kishi to do this way in order to have Naruto and Sasuke being side-by-side only, and have Sakura witness something twist and probably watch them having a drama piece. So I think it's the right move.

In many ways, Sakura's proving to be a very capable ninja. She's taking initiative, and doing a damn good job at what she does do. She was able to heal the army, and not burn away all of her chakra, though I feel like this is because the situation is different from Tsunade's, but still, it's quite a feat. As Shizune has just said, she was able to gain the seal, AND sync with Katsuya perfectly. She's right around Kage level at this point. I still don't think this is the end either.

Hmmm...good point. A rather intriguing perception that a person may not know that they are indeed smarter than they realize. Reminds me of Milly from Trigun. I guess that is one benefit to not having emotions is the ability to see past conflict of emotions for the facts that do present. Naruto may let his emotions get in the way of a logical answer, but Sai is keen on the situation. Not so sure on Sakura yet, which is why I am leaving her out of this one.

 

I need to get more manga savvy... I never really read Trigun. Anyway, Sai is now the resident detective, but it seems like Sakura caught onto something

[TouKen4Life3g]

I won't be surprised because he and the anime studio are very anti to it and if it really happens without any SS moment, that's just f---ed up beyond belief. I can only image her recollecting her memory in her head, only to burn completely. It's possible that 540 may come to play. Anyway, this is going to be a long wait.

[Otaru]

I think Sasuke is suspect, but i don't see him attack Naruto.......... yet.

I think is actual goal is something else.

We might not have yet a team7 confrontation...

yeah i spoke to a sakura hater an hour ago saying that shes weak and i said that i could say the same thing about hinata but i won't then he went biased cazy

Question: can Hashirama sense chakra?
