Man, even after comparing, the hug is still the most romantic.
Kishi really made that scene that way, the kids aroind where blushing, and Kakashi was like WTF. ^^

I found it weird from Kishi to not showing Naruto's face at this moment.
Was he smiling ? Is that why Hinata was like "........" ?

I was thinking that while making my post. The NaruSaku hug looks so much more romantic compared to Hinata caressing Naruto and Naruto holding her hand. I think it's the emotion on Sakura's face. You can see how worried she was about him and how happy she is to have him in her arms.

Hinata, on the other hand, has the facial expression of a poker champion (maybe it's her eyes?) and Naruto doesn't look very love stricken while holding her hand either.

Or is it just me? That could be it too. LOL.

@Slextrem
Lol, even if it was a caress from Hinata, it was still only from Hinata. Naruto didn't react in any romantic sense. He was all quite casual about it, like it wouldn't have been any different if Ino or Tenten did it.

You're right about that. All NaruHina moments are initiated by Hinata, with the exception of the hand holding, which might not even be a romantic gesture from Naruto's perspective.

I really don't like Hinata's character. I mean I don't hate her, but I don't see anything special about her.
She doesn't have charisma, for me it is important to have some for liking a character.
Hinata neve looked bad ass, she never frightened someone.

Naruto's wife needs to have charisma and Sakura has.

I do love that NaruSaku hug. The emotion on Sakura's face is just lovely.

Hinata just doesn't pull off expressions well to me. Maybe it's because of her eyes but...whenever she does try to make some sort of emotional face, it looks soulless and...kinda creepy.

Naruto didn't look like a guy who has feelings for the girl he was touching. I think there are some people who realize that too. I saw an edit of that panel elsewhere of the scene where Naruto thanks Hinata for being at his side. They changed it so he was smiling.
I don't like it much when people edit panels for their preferences. Regardless of whether it's NaruHina, SasuSaku or NaruSaku.

You know what that reminds me of? NaruHina fanfictions with the summary of "Hinata is put on Team 7 instead of Sakura. Will love bloom between her and crush?" That's what that reminds me of.

I find it really annoying myself. If you *insert character here* with *different character here*, it always seems like you're jealous of the moment the actual pairing has. It never really looks good on you.

[Moon_Girl]

Well, the Spoiler thread at NF is unlocked. Nothing in there yet though.
I think we have lurkers from NF because it's starting to look like it in the predictions thread...


@RomanceGirl
Agreed. Editing a screenshot or panel to suit your pairing preferences just doesn't look good.

[Slextrem]

I wanted to stay awake for the release, but I'm feeling sleepy. I think it's bed time.
Hopefully the chapter will be posted in the morning. I'll keep my fingers crossed!

Agreed, the emotion in Sakura's face deserves an Oscar.

[Askia31]

spoilers are out but they're not translated yet. From what I can see in google translation Hinata's name isn't mentioned, but it's far from being the whole chapter so don't rejoice yet.

Haha sweet if this is true! I'd love to see the 8th gate get opened by Gai, but by lee also? Isn't opening the 8th gate enough to kill you? Hope lee doesn't kick the bucket D:

Didn't he open the 8th gate in a few of the Naruto movies though? He didn't die then

I don't remember if Lee had one of those speeches when the alliance was heading to Naruto. Neji didn't have one...maybe the ones who didn't have one are the ones who are going to die?

Another person on that link there translated it I think:

" --Click here to view--

Madara deflects the hachibi's attack with the juubi. He thinks it'll be troublesome if the battle continues, so he descends among the ninja alliance.

Naruto's thinking the same thing, so he attacks with rasengan, but Madara deflects it with his aura.

Naruto's surprised. Madara is using the sixth gate of the eight-gate release, which surprises Lee and Guy. Madara reveals that the eight-gate release is his style of taijutsu. He says it's not perfect, but that's what he's going to be showing them. He tells Obito to carry out the plan while he cleans things up.

Obito makes some hand seals, and the Juubi's eye starts to rotate.

Madara tells the ninja alliance to show him their strength.

More evidence that Obito will use his magic eyes

the only thing that confuses me is: they're cutting straight from that dramatic fandom moment 2 weeks ago (615), to just another thing (more fighting and madara/tobi stuff)? There's no explanation? Or was it just really not as big as we thought and Kishi is moving on from it without another word. [hopefully~]

Kinda makes me think that we over think this pairing stuff, makes me think that kishi is just like "pairings? wha? Im just going with the flow..."
