I'm happy he didn't forget about her, to be honest.
 
People always has that conception Sasuke gave no kitten about Sakura, which I've always seen as untrue.

Yeah, I always knew he had/has feelings for her. They're not romantic , but I'm sure he's always felt something towards her, unlike what anybody else says.

One hell of Sasuke fan you are, aren'tcha? XD

Of course.

He's my darling.

 

And now, my precious Itachi can rest in peace. His otouto is back on the right track.

Like I said Kishimoto never fails to cockblock a potential NS scene/moment  while emphasizing Sakura's feelings for Sasuke  over the moon   so at this point how do you make NS canon to be convincing  and shown her feelings for Naruto stronger  and that she doesn't love Sasuke anymore ?  Honestly I see no way for it  and any romance will be asspulled in here if we have one for that matter   Bromance and T7 "family bond" take all the glory  .

 

Oh and Sasuce if you saw T7 as a family why were you willing to let them die without even flinching bc you love them so much right  the logic in here is just ugh  

I think that NS will be stated instead of showed. But... Kishimoto may still surprise us. Sakura doesn't need to prove anything. In my opinion, it's clear that she won't choose Sasuke over Naruto.

BTW is their any jutsu to grow back someone's body parts, I think only Naruto could have done it with his sun-symbol hand but now that's gone too.

 

There's several different methods that we know about.

 

1. Jinchuuriki regenerative power (specifically the Jubi) 

2. Prosthetic limbs via Zetsu or reattachment of old arm - Madara used this method to replace the arm that was destroyed by the collective bijuu's tail swipe. I don't believe Naruto and Sasuke are going to be able to locate their old arms and stitch them on as Deidara once did. They were likely obliterated in the explosion. 

3. Creation Rebirth/Byakugou (?) - It's a questionable approach since we have never seen the technique regenerate anything more severe than a severed spine and some internal organs. How would it go about creating a new limb? Would it simply pop out of the stump plastered in blood a la Namekian regeneration? 

 

I would enjoy seeing this fight having a lasting impact on the physical well-being of the characters, so it doesn't invalidate the sacrifices made to regain their friendship. Maybe Sasuke could refuse any replacement limb as an act of penitence for his crimes. Unlikely as that may be, it would offer some positive development for his character.

It's obvious since the LOI which boy she prioritizes more and it's Naruto.

[DarkRadeon]

Deadly serious. It's OE for NS 90%.

 

There is an epilogue in the manga which is after a timeskip.All we will probably get to see is the canon couple and Hokage Naruto.All the development to it and the confession will be in the movie.Otherwise if there is no couple in the epilogue chances are the movie wont either as "The blank time in the manga is covered by the movie"

[luffyq1]

shanks will tell the two characters to embrace their one armed lives, but he knows they're not badass enough to live life like that. that's why shanks only associates with one character from the narutoverse, and that's the raikage.

The POAL was literally brought up 5 chapters ago. Not to mention it's the reason Naruto held back from confessing. How anyone of you can think that there's the high chance of no direct NS confirmation is beyond me.

Those people don't want their hope high to not be disapointed.

 

NS in last chapter is not guaranteed but it's still likely (unlike NaruHina). I still believe they are too negative, but I can understand their doubts.

[Phantom_999]

I'm happy with the chapter, but quite disappointed with how NS will end up canon. No I don't feel threatened by Sasuke I just feel that how NS becomes official could have been handled better. Why? It's because I can't see NH or SS happening, that I don't even understand why the romance had to be so convoluted up till this point.

 

What was the point of the love triangle? Sakura was supposed be another driving point for Naruto's rivalry with Sasuke? BIG DEAL. Naruto never once thought "OH I must defeat Sasuke for Sakura to love me." No, he showed true maturity in putting Sakura's happiness above his own and would do anything to see her smile. Hinata confessing her love for him? Sure why not. I don't doubt its genuinity, but 1) We have already said she does not know Naruto on any Personal level. She's just a fan girl who idolizes everything Naruto is compared to what she is not and 2) Naruto shows no romantic interest in her. Sasuke says he has no interest in Sakura? GEE, I never would have guessed with the way he was going after her throat TWICE during the Kage summit arc.

 

Really, what I'm dissapointed by is that he even calls the romance a drama or a plot point. Really why even make love triangles here? What he did was make another fallacy of a love triangle just like countless other love triangle stories. What do I mean? he's already made the couple obvious before it ever started. this is the problem with Love triangles fiction in the first place.

 

THERE IS NO COMPETITION. NO SUSPENSE.

 

There is one party to a love triangle that is usually not an equal party with an equal chance. How it works out almost all the time is that there is one character two love interests, and one ALWAYS has the unfair advantage. The scenario plays out in that it's obvious or at least heavily hinted who the couple is gonna be. the centre of love triangle may like one of of the two love interests, but realizes the person is not for them because said person is a d**k, evil, etc. then they realize that they are in love with the other character. this solves nothing other than what is obvious and then we will have a hard time believing the LT centre is not shallow or stupid. It's not that they are if the author doesn't intend it, but that the love triangle played out in such a predictable fashion that the audience would wonder why the LT centre didn't realize it sooner. NSS plays out perfectly here.

 

Even when both love interests are down right decent people with genuine feelings, again only one has the unfair advantage for being the sole target of the LT centre's affections. It doesn't matter how sweet, generous, or selfless the other love interest is, they will never be viewed romantically by the LT centre. NSH anyone? But IF it the LT centre falls for the other person in the end, it's like scenario one. We would really question the LT centre's mental capacity to interpret romance and why he or she never realized it in the first place cause the love triangle has to be screwed around with before anything resolves.

 

Anyways that's my take on love triangles. and this opinion is based of One writer's essay on love triangles on tvtropes.org. The author is called Limyaael. It's not that I fear NH or SS happening I just don't see the point if Kishi is throwing out so many hints that NaruSaku end game. Doesn't anyone here think that things would have been better if he just wrapped up NS sooner? Then fans wouldn't be complaining about how he is horrible at writing romance and actually focus on more important themes to the story. What authors tend to forget, I feel is that romance is a touchy subject and must be handled with care, because they are appealing to people, and of course love is extremely emotional. So brushing it off till the end only increases aggrravation.

So Sasuke was jealous of a strength Naruto had that he didn't have himself, yet still left without trying to develop it himself or something? What a douche.

Well, it was a pretty touching chapter. narsas shippers will definitely be happy lmao.

So, I guess Kakashi and Sakura will arrive at the beginning of next chapter. I wonder what their reactions to the missing arms will be omg

[FireFox]

But that's not done in  convincing/believable way and  visually yes after 693 Sakura does need to prove  it  who's to say that she's over Sasuke that she doesn't love him anymore  how are you gonna argue it without proof  ? NS being stated doesn't make the paring and its development justice  . 

[narusaku256]

Of course.
He's my darling.
 
And now, my precious Itachi can rest in peace. His otouto is back on the right track.

No worries XD Even I liked him this chapter

Sakura's probably gonna flip out for a couple of seconds, then she's going to go into professional medic mode

Sasuke has always been jealous of Naruto's strength

[ns.Believe.It]

I can completely understand what you are feeling.

Of course. Naruto fans will obviously be very disappointed to not be able to see Naruto defeating his rival in battle. 

 

Naruto's words- " I really want to defeat you, but not the present you " helps to find some solace. Maybe they'll have some friendly sparring in the movie to settle who the stronger one is..? That would be nice.

No, it really isn't. Especially with this chapter, the timeline and the current situation. I'm confident we'll get NS one way or another.

Yeah. Something like this would be great:

 

Sakura arrives to see Naruto and Sasuke both in a really bad condition.

 

She goes to Naruto first but Naruto being Naruto says- "Sakura-chan, I have kept my promise. Sasuke has changed. I've brought the old Sasuke back to you. Aren't you gonna heal him first? " 

 

Sakura looks at Naruto and Says - " You just don't get it, do you Naruto? You are the person that is most important to me. So I'm gonna heal you first."

 

Naruto- " But..I thought.."  

 

Sakura- " Shut up, don't talk too much , save your strength. We'll talk later after you get better. You can take me to Ichiraku's "

 

Naruto- "... ...."  

Refer LadyGT's 'After the War' to see Naruto's expressions. All the physical pain that Naruto is in might completely go away after he hears Sakura say that

no need to freak for the absence of NS hints in this chapter.

probably....

[luffyq1]

no need to freak for the absence of NS hints in this chapter.

or any by the end of the manga. lol

[FireFox]

no need to freak for the absence of NS hints in this chapter.

Its not the absence of this chapter but the set up for the next one which realistically  is set up for T7  not NS scene or Sakura realization .
