I honestly think a lot of you are over-reacting over nothing. We haven't even seen the movie yet. So what if Sakura was shown blushing at Sasuke a few times? Can anyone honestly say it surprises them? I'll be honest. Being a true hater of SasuSaku in every sense of the word, I'm annoyed as hell at this SS fanservice. So many times I expressed my desire that Sakura would only have feelings for Naruto. But she's not portrayed like that, so we need to just grit our teeth and watch the SasuSaku fanservice since we can't change it. Of course Sakura is going to accept Sasuke's advances at first. One, he's a pretty boy and also Sakura is still clinging on to that childish fantasy of Sasuke. She hasn't moved on from him and Sasuke has always been her greatest weakness. The SSness is frustrating but this will help Sakura move on from Sasuke and to Naruto. Logically, she'll know this isn't real and that needs to get out of this genjutsu with Naruto. Overcoming her greatest weakness is a good thing!
None of us should be worried about NH. In this movie, Hinata will constantly aggressively chase Naruto and try to seduce him but we've already seen clips of how uncomfortable AU Hinata actually makes him. So really, what are the chances of Naruto falling for Hinata in this movie? Not likely to me. SasuSaku is admittingly a bigger worrier but NaruHina? Not at all.
So just chillax, people For so many of the overconfident members I've seen on this forum that are sure NS will happen, you over-react negatively rather quickly.

^ And that's why it's important to try and see things with an optimistic view. I still believe that AU Hinata and AU Sasuke openly flirting with Naruto and Sakura is only to serve as misdirection to what really will happen in the movie.
Most of the time when the hero and heroine find themselves with such pushy love interests it's genarally done to make them be closer to each other and strengthen their bond.
The promotion I mentioned specifically said that Hinata was jealous of Sakura.
That promotion included the trailer images of Hinata grabbing Naruto and of Sasuke giving Sakura a rose. Besides the images were descriptions of each situation. With Hinata, it was a mention of her being jealous of Sakura and telling Naruto to stay away from her. With Sasuke, it was about how Sakura's heart raced because of Sasuke's unexpected approach.
I'm pretty sure that Hinata's jealousy is gonna be a big deal, just like how Sasuke flirting with Sakura is also a big deal. That's why they're promoting those two events together.
I understand why you would believe that, but I think this isn't the case. That's my honest view.
Do not cut my post in half, I mention something and then I stated why I don't believe that will happen.

Relax, I just misunderstood what you were saying. I didn't cut it to be mean. I though you believed Kishi might make Sakura always love Sasuke even though that love makes her weak. But I guess you were trying to say that Kishi won't make Sakura always love Sasuke since that love brings her down, right?
So, do you agree with me that Kishi is making AU Hinata and AU Sasuke to be open flirts just to serve as red herrings for the sake of Naruto and Sakura strengthening their bond?

Yes. I do believe SS is very, but very disturbing for me and gating so much fanservice from that pairing really depressed me a lot, I guess my hatred towards the pairing is too strong. Anyway I think Sasuke and Hinata's behavior are close to how Ecchi/Moe character acts well not Ecchi/Moe but not regular Anime either.
They are all over Naruto and Sakura, so is not that Kishi is trying to prove that even if Sasuke like Sakura and Hinata is more forward with her feelings Naruto will like her is more as a distraction. NH mostly Not because you can clearly see Naruto is not ok about her new persona is mostly about Sasuke been Sakura's greatest weakness. His purpose is to keep her distracted until they can extract the Kyuubi from Naruto, Sakura is Naruto's biggest support she would obviously be a big distraction to Tobi's plan so haven Sasuke all over her is a way to keep her away and if she wants to help Naruto she will need to overcome her biggest weakness.
With Naruto it will be a lot harder and that is why he will need Sakura, he have his biggest desire and life goal Sasuke will be back in the Village and He will also have something he always wished to have, his parents.
From the start I thought Kishi wanted to send a message to the NH and SS camp but them by seeing Hinata and Sasuke not wanting to win their heart but instead they want to posses their heart it kind of seems to odd and more fitting to be Tobis plan and Not Kishi's intent.
And this also fits with my speculation that Kishi will not create an AU Sasuke and Hinata for Naruto and Sakura to fall in love with them, is more like a ploy to keep Naruto and Sakura trapped in the Genjutsu world using Sasuke and Naruto's parents.

Exactly, they are overtly meant to parallel with some differences, just like the big focus will be on family dynamics- Naruto's with his parents, that Kishimoto regrets having shunted off as unimportant as a single man when he started the series, and Sakura's, who he had been desperately trying to fit into the story for years, but now figures it's so late in the story readers wouldn't care about minor support characters like that... (he's wrong there- I've seen even neutral readers say for years they wanted to see Sakura's parents, and express gladness that they will finally be revealed, even if it's in a movie) but was determined to bring them in for the movie- and stated he felt great relief at finally showing Sakura's dynamics with her parents.

Bingo! It's a good point when you start recognizing plot points in manga and anime and know where it is going. I never did, but maybe it was because of the anime and manga that introduced me to the common plotlines- From fairly easy ones like "Speed Racer", to a challenging one like "Rose of Versailles", to the long narrative- but beloved Yamato series- the series that launched US Anime conventions and fandom, and evolved anime fandom in a major way in Japan too. It's a much loved series in both US and Japanese fandoms. It's on the level of cultural impact in Japan as Star Trek is in the US. Star Trek created the sci-fi con and the united sci-fi fandom for the first time.
The Yamato series has one of the most heart stirring opening themes ever- as well. (Isao Sasaki was an awesome singer!) First anime series I can recall that had such a fantastic music soundtrack from theme to background music. (Star Trek lucked out in the same fashion, Horner was a fantastic composer).
If you can watch the Yamato series, even just the first one, you'll see the origins of a number of thematic elements in modern anime and manga.

What I want to know is Naruto going to be jealous or heart broken by Sasuke & Sakura in this movie, because it shown no hints of Naruto's reaction to Sasuke & Sakura. Do you guys think Naruto will show jealousy or heart break to Sasuke & Sakura in this movie.

Knowing Naruto, he'll probably be pained by Sakura and Sasuke in this movie. But because he cares so much about Sakura's happiness, he'll just step aside since he thinks Sakura loves only Sasuke. So I expect sadness. Not jealousy. Though I do think Naruto would be jealous of any other guy besides Sasuke if they flirted with Sakura . Naruto would only be sad and disapointed.

We already know this i think AU Hinata's aggressive behavior is due to naruto's love towards Sakura. we have a few pages back a scene ichiraku drawn.
Thank you everybody for answering my question, and your right, the only two clues we have on NaruSaku for this movie is the poster with Naruto reacting to Sasuke flirting at Sakura (I hope that's the reason why Naruto made that face) and AU Hinata being jealous of Naruto and Sakura bond. Other than that nothing that I know of.
Also during this whole promotion of the movie, it has not shown that Naruto has feelings for Sakura (which he does but the movie has not shown nothing on Naruto's romantic feelings).
Boy, was yesterday a dark day for a lot of people in here. But I still feel the same way as before. Just wait. Though I am glad that people are getting back in spirit. You got to remember: these ads won't tell us the story, rather how the world is flipped. I just can't wait for the movie, so we can finally understand.
Btw, anyone saw the main villain? It's in NF and yes, it's official: AU Naruto is the masked man (Not Tobi, but maybe XD). And they have a picture. I don't know how to link it, but check it out.
Thoughts?

Yeah, I notice they haven't shown that Naruto has feelings for Sakura in any of the promotion stuff too (not including the picture of Team 7 eating at the ramen place). In fact they haven't stated Naruto's crush on Sakura for a long time in the manga either, makes me wonder if It will ever be brought up again.
He seems to be the masked guy in the movie. From the looks of it, it looks like he's the one named Menma in this world. Not only that, he also has the same whisker marks as Naruto. Looks like he's the one who has dark Kyuubi/Kurama. I think this Menma guy is the AU!Naruto.
If there's an AU!Naruto, then that means there must be an AU!Sakura as well. I'm guessing AU!Sakura is the one of the Sennin that was previously posted.
P.S.: It's amazing how this thread exploded into the thread with most posts in just a few months!!!
