Good chapter. Illustrations were very good. Looks like Kishimoto's style (sometime it doesn't and I wonder if those chapters aren't passed off to staff illustrators to articulate and ink). Dynamic and gritty. I'm usually not a fan of the dialogue-free endless fight panels, but sometime Kishimoto just really nails the movement from image to image. Keeps the reader going. This is what sets him apart. The ability to visually communicate to any audience (of any nationality) while keeping the suspense taut and interest high. 

 

You can tell he's had some of the panel illustrations, especially a few of the close-ups, in mind for a long time. And I think this is some of the most dynamic fighting illustrations Kishimoto's done. The angles, the expressions, the scene movement — all very good.

 

Still not crazy about Sakura's hair. It was a bit of a jolt to go from seeing Naruto and Sasuke drawn with such shading and detail, then to Sakura in her stark outlines and looking straight on from the front. Now that we've seen the movie/older version of Sakura, I'd love to see her drawn with softer, more lifelike hair instead of those harsh spikes. And Kishimoto should have taken the same care illustrating Sakura and Kakashi as he did with Naruto and Sasuke. After all, this is an important chapter. They should all be drawn with dimensions to their shape, dynamic poses, hairs out of place, etc. It's already a bump in the tension to switch from Naruto/Sasuke fighting to Kakashi/Sakura talking. And the change in character illustration doesn't help it.

This is off topic but kitten you SP!
 

Ughh

 
Hope they won't mess up the glorious CPR moment .Ughh I'm so pissed.

What's your issue with that image? It's just Sakura being patted on the head in an endearing manner by her appreciative teacher. The childlike expression isn't quite so stressed like it was in the manga, but that's not too much to worry about.

I already commented on Naruto's obsession in other threads but you were talking about Sakura not Naruto.

Trying to appeal to hus humanity was a stupid thing with Sasuke's track record, anyone with half a brain can understand it wouldn't work.

 

You remember Gaara? He was a raging psychopath who liked to kill people for fun (which was mostly removed from the anime). Everyone else gave up on him, but Naruto didn't, and the character is redeemed. How is it bad when Sakura does it?

 

 

 

I would prefer if she said nothing than to humiliate herself in front of Sasuke again, it would have been better for her character.

 

God forbid a character for trying to stop the murder-suicide of her teammates! Sakura should just prioritize how she looks in your eyes, we all know her appearance is the real issue here.

 

Thats not the way I see pacifism sorry not going to buy Kishi's representation of it, looks more like abuse than pacifism.

 

Are you familiar with the term pacifism? Because it clearly cannot apply to Sasuke here, as you have assumed. I'm talking about Sakura trying to find the non-violent way of doing things.

 

And frankly, pacifism and being abused are not mutually exclusive.

 

I didnt say you said that, I said that they Naruto and Sakura should hold Sasuke responsible for his actions instead of always excusing him for all the crap he has pulled and trying to save him from himself which is a ridiculous concept in itself. And if I'm talking about Sakura thats because the subject here is Sakura, but if you want to know Naruto is no better and I already expanded on that in other threads.

 

Naruto and Sakura have already been established as frankly, the most forgiving people in the universe. It was how Naruto defeated Pain, who murdered the closest thing he had to a father.

 

Ofcourse Sasuke should be held responsible. But for now, Naruto (and Sakura) are doing the best they can to stop him from taking the road to world domination (as Madara had). It has already been established over and over again that simply making enemies of someone you don't like doesn't work and only leads to more grief, sorrow and hatred.

 

I dont, Sakura is just one of many Kishi's failures but since we are talking about Sakura I explained where the problem is with her character, if that can reassure you shes not the only one who suffers from poor characterization.

No one is asking them to hate him but just to accept him as he is, the only one that should be able to overcome this hatred his Sasuke himself and no one else.

Let's move on because we obviously won't agree I think the morale in this story is awful but if you're content with it then so be it, to each his own.

 

If that i the case, perhaps you would feel more comfortable in a Sakura-bashing site than a Sakura fansite. But I honestly don't think it's Sakura's characterization that's at fault; it's your interpretation of it, as well as the whole plot of the series.

Right, because accepting him for who is he is going to benefit the world? Sorry, Sasuke has been established as Naruto's foil, he's the problem the main character has to fix.

 

I haven't actually seen your explanation about the moral of the story. All I've seen is "Sakura is a bad character! Naruto is a bad character! Why haven't they killed Sasuke yet?"

Oh that's an example.It's not well animated.That's all.I dunno but they really didn't a good job.I'm sorry maybe I'm overreacting.But animation is not fine with me.

 

 

looks like jiraiya coming out of sage mode.

Lol.Did you see her byakagou transformation?It's bad.Really...

[Otaru]

It's possible that Sasuke will kill Sakura with his Chidori. 

She will take the blow in Naruto's place.

And then Sasuke will revive her with his Rinnegan. 

Then he will make peace with her and Naruto. 

That would be good for them 3. 

[TouKen4Life3g]

Man, it can be anything!

[lord287]

I'd imagine he does. I wonder what he thinks the heart does?This is one of those situations where you can lead a lord287 to water, but you can't make a lord287 drink.

I won't be drinking any water that is not safe for drinking. And yeah I believe his uzumaki blood was the main reason he was able to survive the extraction. Maybe sakura helped but not more than 5-10%.

I won't have a problem if sakura enters to heal after the fight is over and both or one of the boys is completely exhausted, but punching sasuke which is meant to be a punch delivered by naruto since the very beginning of the manga and naruto's childhood will just be too heart breaking.

[TyranntX]

Things are going as I planed they would. shame I have to wait a week to see what happens next

Some progress is better than no progress.

As to your second point, for me, that ship has sailed. I no longer care if she participates in the fight.

[manbeast101]

An interesting chapter. The fight was really epic this week.

 

And also, Sakura is finally awake!

 

Maybe Naruto will save himself with the chakra chains? It is a possibility.

[Nefertieh]

.
Those were kakashi's interpretation, I won't consider it a fact unless sakura say it but she said "I love you". if it can be taken as platonic love why kishi does not make naruto say the exact words to sasuke. And I am perfectly fine with sakura having any role but come in between the fight in any way.

I know my grammar is poor and typing in a small screen touch phone doesn't help in any way.

 

I don't have a problem with your grammar. I have a problem with people not having the ability to understand what a basic concept of what a narrator is.

 

He was hanging in their because of his uzumaki blood not because of sakura.

I don't want her to fight not because I think she still loves him (although I do think she loves him), I don't want her to fight because I want naruto to defeat Sasuke on his own and show him that he is no less strong than he is. To show sasuke that in spite of being a normal ninja he defeated the guy among the gifted uchihas with hard work. If naruto still can't defeat the person for whom he trained day and night so that he could defeat that person some day. Any kind of outside help will make that training useless.

 

Right, Kishimoto just spent an entire chapter on a half showing Sakura shoving her hand to keep Naruto's heart going was all for nothing. We all know Naruto can live without a beating heart; his blood is magical.

Sorry, I couldn't hear you on top of how you were explaining that Sakura should just lust over Sasuke, which you told me was all she was good for.

 

It's not about hard work vs. being born with a silver spoon in your mouth. It's about being loved by everyone vs being hate by everyone, being compassionate vs being brutally strong. It was already established two chapters ago; the main conflict between the two characters is the conflict in ideology, not muscle power.

Looks like you all are still going strong here eh! Just wanted to say NS ftw!! 3 more chaptersssss!!

Question:

This extra chapter...is it coming out the same week as the last one or what?

[narusaku256]
