[NaruSaku fan in Kentucky]

Naruto and especially Sakura always look so much happier when together in fan art… As opposed to being separate in the cannon art/pairings. Just compare the pic in NaruSaku fan in Kentucky's post to the photo at the end of Gaiden.

I didn't draw it. Puemyteh did.

Basically due to Obito's character build

 

We never got too much information about him other than a)he was a dead last, b)rival of kakashi and c) he liked Rin 

We never got the depth necessary to make his "strong" feelings for Rin something believable 

 

I mean, afaik she was just a crush...then why her death affected him so much ? Clearly something happened to make such a strong crush and yet there was not a single exploration or explanation for the matter

 

Basically, Obito's whole motivation for being a villain sucks, feels weak and cringeworthy and ultimately damages the pairing.

And that's why SP is trying to "flesh him out" with another anime original filler centered on him...more damage control.

I didn’t say you drew it, I just said it was in your post. Thanks for the clarification though because i wasn't sure if the signed name was another name you used (Edit: or if Puemyteh was a forum member). It’s good though. I’ve seen a lot of great fan works on these forums.

Well, blame kishi for that.
I mean, with out flash back we will never know that obito has the same dream with naruto to become hokage. Not even in gaiden it get touched.

With that said, I agree that kishi need to explore his character.
Kishi could make kakashi told obito character, between gaiden and war arc.
He could tell his history and motivation. It will make the revelation much more impactful to naruto and the tnj gonna be more believable. Because dude is practically uchiha naruto.

For me the problem is not obito love to rin, but the fact it doesn't even use as tnj bullet. Kishi instead use hokage reason to obito. Who we doesn't even know itbefore his silent flashback. Because if kishi touch obirin, he will brought out NS. He can't do that especially when the last is already in production.

@luckychi did that one doujin artist you were fond of ever finish her doujin? I think her name was Sammy or something? You stopped posting updates for it a long time ago

Understanding the mind of a Hinata fan is not really that difficult.

There are only two categorizes that her fans fall into. Either they relate to her because they see themselves in her. They like someone and they can't or haven't had the opportunity to tell that person how they feel or think they feel. This is valid of both her female fanbase and her male fanbase.

 

And the other category are just the males [...]

 

I'm sorry but that's really the truth.

 

I'm sorry, but this is not true.

 

My best friend is a Hinata fan and while she does like her because she can relate to her, she does NOT relate to her in the "I like someone but can't tell them how I feel" way. See, her parents are a lot like Hinata's, in the sense that they were/are always pushing her to be better, but are really harsh about it. It was never enough for them and they were always putting her down like she was the dumbest person ever. And let me tell you, she is friggin' amazing at speaking foregin languages, but they are so mean to her just because she isn't as good at mathematics (she isn't bad at it, just not as good). It makes me angry to even think about it.

 

And yes, Hinata's bad at what she's supposed to do, but her parents still could just accept that, design Hanabi as the heiress and be nicer to Hinata. But no, she has to suffer bc they think she has to use the Byakugan to fight (and she can do that, only not as well as others) instead of dunno, to track people or something, she has to live like they wanted her to live or else she's "useless", etc. So my friend can relate to that, especially since she's an only child, also a "heiress" in a way. 

 

And I'm sure there's more people who like Hinata because of her backstory. I was sympathetic to her too.

 

Also guys, I just noticed something on the chapter, Ino is still thirsty for Sasuke kitten ...seriously KIshi?

If there is someone who didn't deserves being NTR'd is poor Sai

Again, I don't see Ino greeting Sasuke (who she hasn't seen for years, while she did see Naruto, Sakura and Salad) as "being thirsty for him".  Sure, she's probably still fond of him - he was her  first crush, after all. But that's it.

Ok but that doesn't invalidate what I said, it just adds another category. Which I forgot because let's be honest here that part of her character was mentioned once and then forgotten because she was turned into an obsessed girl that can only say "Naruto-Kun" and think only of "Naruto-Kun" and eat only "Naruto-Kun" and breath only "Naruto-Kun".

 

That part of her character was interesting, it's the reason I liked her back when she was introduced. However that part went straight into the trashcan and was never talked about for the rest of the story. Her character literally became "Naruto-Kun".

[Papaya]

It kinda does invalidate it though, because you said there are only two kinds of Hinata fans.   But I don't mean to argue with you, just adding my two cents. 

 

Back to Gaiden # 10, forgot to say how much I hate the panel with Sakura smiling & waiting for the kiss. She never looked this ugly in this manga, no wonder Sauce dismissed her. I'm still kinda surprised Trollimoto had a panel with Salad waiting for things to happen though, that just adds an extra layer of sad that didn't need to be there.

I don't know why but I was reminded of Teen Titans where that girl wants that kiss from Robin and Robin was like "No!" He was leaning back, took a peak of her, and she was looking incredibly desperate for that kiss, up to the point where her face looked weird. That's Sakura.

She want poke head or kiss?

[tricksie]

The thing that irked me was how Obito's dies, and Kakashi, speaking on behalf of the friend who's corpse isn't even cold yet, tells Rin that Obito had always loved her, and the first thing she does is blow him off. She was literally like "Obiwho? Lol, Kakashi, let's talk about how I feel." I felt it was really blatantly disrespectful about how she completely blew Obito off after he had just sacrificed himself to save both her and Kakashi. Like you don't have to fall in love with Obito or anything, but for the love of god just think about the weight of the words Kakashi just said before you pretend like the guy who just bit the bullet for you both never existed.

In hindsight, maybe I was foolish for not looking at that scene a little more closely since that scene itself was the perfect forshadow of how the rest of the series would go in terms of pairings.

 

Yes, my thoughts exactly

[TouKen4Life3g]

She want poke head or kiss?

Didn't read the chapter?

She wants a kiss, which contradict the "better than kiss" talk. It's odd how that works. Naruto is her only person that she kiss. That's hard to believe.


Wait, no it's not.

[Toy Ninja]

In that scene Sakura looks affection-starved and desperate. She looks fatigued.

 

All Sasuke does is scorn her romantic advances with cold indifference. This constant emotional withholding is just a continuation of the abuse which is central to their relationship.

 

Kishimoto's attempt to present it as comedic is just insulting.

 

This manga makes me sick.

I don't read it.
I just saw the panel from tumblr.
Some said that sakura ask for forehead poke.
Thanks for the answer.

Who knows. She waited with a blush. Got nothing. Either way, it's sad.

I don't get it. It was shown few chapters back that Karin is the biological mother of Sarada from a computer or whatever it was, then there is the umbilical cord of Sakura and Sarada, then Karin said that Sarada was born in the hideout while both of them weren't in the hideout.

 

Is Sakura or Karin the biological mother of Sarada ?

Just look at what the Salad was doing on that scene and you'll get the intention Kishi was trying to pass
