Lmao whoops! Anyway to add to the discussion, she's likely gonna get there at the end. :) I don't think her feelings will be resolved until the movie unless that dream she had was an eye opener.

Now this...is not giving her the credit she deserves


He wasn't giving her ANY credit before that. So...we are making some progress.

For the record, last chapter usually is the aftermath, rather than the current situation. Not sure how far but it's going to be.

So, anyone knows if the extra chapter coming out in the same week?

Anyone expecting Sakura to turn up next week to save Naruto is likely to be dissapointed, the two are miles away from where Sakura is at the moment so it's not possible for her to turn up there in such a short time, unless there was a delay between the her waking up and the battle.

 

The problem with this weeks climax is....well the movie is out in six weeks time, so we all know something is going to happen to stop Sasuke from dealing the final blow, makes the whole thing anti-climatic. I wonder if he uses his hand to stop the Chidori, and that would explain the bandaged arm we saw in the movie?

 

Also: Seriously Indra's Arrow? how does Sasuke know it's his most powerful move if he's just using it for the first time, also by naming it after the older brother shows how much he's still stuck in the past. Also Naruto finally made a Rasengan with no help of a Clone, Bijuu or Sage Mode.

I dunno but I feel like genjutsu made her realize.

I'm not overly concerned with how Sasuke's last attack is stopped—either by Naruto or Sakura's intervention—but I just don't see any evidence in Kishi's writing to suggest we're going to see any sort of Neo-Sannin showdown. As much as I think that'd be neat, Sakura won't arrive in time to have any impact.

Moreover, 2/3 of the fighters are so exhausted such a battle would be anti-climactic. I've resolved myself to the fact that Sakura's peak as an involved fighter was way back at the start of Part II.

I'm kind of bummed how the damn bench scene seems nonexistent to Kishi. Like that's a huge freakin scene but maybe he doesn't feel that way... -_-

Anyway the jutsu like helped her realize something. We shall see.

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?
 
 
 
 
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.
 
 
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.
 
 
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.
 
 
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?"

Gaara was given a chance he accepted it, Sasuke was given multiple chances he refused them all, Gaara was hated by everyone and had no one to look for, Sasuke was appreciated by everyone and many people wanted to help him. The situations are completely different and uncomparable.

No stop the sarcasm and stop ignoring my points, all youre doing is avoiding my points on purpose, youre not even responsding youre deflecting thats all you have been doing since the beginning.

I dont even know what you're trying to say at this point and I don't see how youre relating my point to Sasuke. I'm not assuming anything youre just putting words into my mouth to make an argument that doesnt make any sense. Deflecting or outright deforming my words. Sakura should just shut her mouth instead of trying to appeal to a guy that has shown time and time again that he doesnt give a crap about her, non violent way my ass.

Sasuke will never be held responsible for any of the crap he pulled, being forgiving doesnt necessarily mean letting others walk all over you and treat you like trash, you can be forgiving and still have some self respect and dignity things that Naruto and Sakura absolutely don't have when it comes to Sasuke.

Nahh my interpretation is fine, I get the message but the way it's conveyed is awful.

Ha yeah such a great message which I entirely disagree with you, no one can save Sasuke from himself if he himself doesnt want to be saved.

And why would you see it here ? I already explained my views about it in other threads Im not going to waste more time with you when all you have is done is deflecting my arguments, I'll simply say everyone has its own sets of values and ideals that he aspires to, mine completely conflicts with those in this story, if you recognize yourself in the pseudophilosopsical crap Kishi is trying to sell good for you.

ugh... wouldn't like Sakura to take the blow for Naruto.

As much as i want some NS moment, this fight is between the two only.

 

but then... i have this nagging feeling that THAT genjutsu of Sasuke (stabbing Sakura)

would come for REAL this time.

 

 

Although right now i am more curious as to what is that little Sakura thinking..

there're 5 possibilies left

-Sasuke stops himself suddenly and have an epiphany.

-Kakashi stops Sasuke and saves Naruto.

-Sakura stops Sasuke with a powerful punch

-Sasuke takes the blow suddenly and saves Naruto

-Naruto takes the blow withe the right arm as shield and falls to the ground.

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.

 

If you've seen any shonen/ movies/ any form of entertainment ever, it's clear as day that the main character will be the one who will deal the final blow. The girl will help, but she's not going to be given the main character's glory.

 

And frankly, stop downplaying Sakura's role in saving Naruto. His heart stopped, that's proof enough that no special blood in his body is going to keep him alive.

Hinata will save Naruto-kun in the next chapter. Believe it. © NH fandom

 

I doubt that Sakura or Kakashi has the time to intervene. Probably... it'll be hidden clones. Naruto tricked Pain the same way. Now we know why his arm is going to be bandaged. Sasuke's Amaterasu.

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%.

Maybe you are right. But you know- when it comes to life-death situations, even something as small as 0.5 % has great value. If Sakura had not done what she did, its highly unlikely that Naruto would have survived and recovered. 

 

It looks like you are frustrated with Sakura's choice of words/actions when it comes to Sasuke but don't you think its wrong to brush-off many of the good things she has done...?

 

Sakura has played a huge role in Naruto's life. She has been there for him at every step, supporting and helping him in whatever way necessary.That is Sakura's role in this manga, to be a support to Naruto and she has been a pillar of strength for Naruto. 

 

Naruto values Iruka and Team Seven the most. Sasuke left him. If Sakura was not there to give him support and company, Naruto would have lost himself in loneliness again.

 

Sakura healed Naruto when needed, she encouraged him when the situation called, she stood up for him and his causes when needed, she understood his pain and comforted him when needed, at one point she was even prepared to take all of Naruto's burdens on herself just so that he wouldn't have to suffer any more pain.

 

She has done a lot for Naruto, just like he has done a lot for her. That's the beauty of their friendship  :smile:
