Holy crap. One day away from the Jump Festa and NaruSaku week. It's going to be the most darkest and chaotic NS week ever besides the last one. Whatever Kishi says at the Festa will just add more fire to the sh*tstorm rather if its in our favor or not.
Does anyone know how the NS Japanese fans are feeling at this moment?
No one gives a kitten about SS because it has Sakura in it. It's not important explaining how the heroine had babies with a guy who tried to kill her 3 times.
Or the fact that the SS is just a loveless marriage, which can make the NH pairing look more ridiculous.
But also, SS can't be shown because it takes away from the Naruto worship that is going on now. It's ok for Naruto to move on, but it's not ok for Sakura. It's ok for Naruto to have a whirlwind romance, but it's not ok to show Sakura happy and secure and fulfilled.
Part of the fantasy of NH is that Sakura has to suffer somehow, in some small, slight way. Her relationship with Sasuke always has to be just slightly less true, less romantic, less perfect than the true love that is NaruHIna's relationship.
She can't be shown as happy and self-fulfilled. It would take away from the aura of Naruto being the ultimate hero, the ultimate prize. Sasuke can't be shown as redeemed and living a fairytale romance with the girl Naruto pined for for so long.
Naruto's storyline wasn't resolved, the themes didn't come full circle, his goals weren't fulfilled. But in love, by making SS seem like a token pairing, they can elevate Naruto's relationship with Hinata seem like it's the OTP that's been built on the whole manga.
That can easily be explained. The ideal of the movie pamphlet, which Kishi stated that Sakura loved Naruto even after chapter 699, ensured (in my opinion) that her character does not look like a selfish b*tch when she said those words to Naruto in the cave. We all know how long Sakura's feelings for Sasuke can last. The same can be said about Naruto too. She pushed Naruto away, so she can sacrifice her happiness to not break Hinata's heart (because she's like her big sister) and she's undeserving of Naruto's love despite her saying that Naruto does not deserve Hinata.
Her marrying Sasuke was to ensure that she sealed the deal with her words about her never getting over her first love, which this pamphlet proves her words to be false, taking Naruto's words, "I hate when people are lying to themselves ." That is where she had thrown her romantic life out the window. It goes back to the War Arc when Kakashi said to himself that her feelings for Sasuke has changed and all she wanted was to bring him back and rescue him from darkness, which means she no longer sees Sasuke in a romantic light.
Lets say if she went for Lee, it would make her look stupid in the eyes of Naruto. Her marrying Sasuke has nothing to do with love. The marriage is to ensure that Naruto completely moves on from her. And how to explain the fangirling in chapter 699? Kishi specifically told us NS fans do not believe what we read in the manga. But he was never precise about it that we all only assume that it was the entire manga because of the red herring comment. I believe in my soul that this is one of this is one of them he was referring to.
The NH wedding. I've only seen glimpse of it and the ending where the vows were exchanged through a NH black silhouetted kissing scene. And there was Sakura smiling that looks almost identical of the war arc when Sai made a comment he knew that smile very much. And I have several ppl telling me that she was the only person who never came up to Naruto and congratulate him and Hinata. I'm not surprise by this because this may proved that Sakura went somewhere off screen and cried her heart out in pure agony, making sure no one sees her.
This leads to the SS moment.
Sasuke: Marriage you say? I told you before, I do not love and see you that way.
Sakura: *sighs* It's not about me. We must do this for Naruto.
Sasuke: *smirks* No. Find another man. I'm not interested.
Sakura: *cracks knuckles* IDIOT! I could care less. I'm not that girl anymore. My feelings are the same as much as yours. I'm not saying you are obligated to be my lover. You are free to do whatever you please and love whoever you want by taking them as your concubine. I have no interest in a romantic relationship. You own him that much for everything that he's went through to get you back.
Sasuke: *cracks up laughing* Sakura. You've change. I'll think about. But let me be very clear. For Whatever reason Naruto and the Hyuuga are separated, the very moment that happens. I will
annul the marriage, regardless you bare me children or not. Do we understand?
Sakura. *bows* Thank you, Sasuke-kun.
Ofcourse SP won't be stupid to show visual confirmation how SS came to be. Only the wedding because this image will make their favorite princess look like a sham while this would finally chase away SS. The world and its audience is only going to at Sakura's suffering because Sasuke is not there. However, if the pamphlet proves to be very credible. It's a broken heart that she's suffering that was not caused by Sasuke. She's a maid to the NH family and more likely she may clean up after Naruto in the Hokage's office, cleaning up his instant cup ramen. My opinion is that I think she's punishing herself for putting Naruto through misery for many years, especially, when she's married to Sasuke.
Little does Naruto know that Sakura loves him, which is the most tragic thing all because of one character that put the Team 7 members (Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke) in misery and forced two members that only sees eachother a siblings in a marriage to suit Hinata's needs is very disgusting. I do not know which is better. Her having to still love Sasuke in marriage or this. Sakura is truly the most tragic female character in the history of Shounen manga. Hinata ruined everything
Both, equally. SP shouldn't have done it and Kishi should have fought for his work, that's it.
Well. It's not really SP, but its SJ, Viz and the manga house he submitted his manga to has forced his hand. They have the right to decline his manga, because under contract. The only way he could have stood up to them is if he threatened them he's going to purge the manga (which he should have done it and set an example) and go through with it if they don't back down, and finished the story through novel serialization. You know how much I wanted to send this PM to Kishi for two weeks straight? I cannot because of his stupid Hinata perverted of an assistant will delete it before it could reach Kishi's eyes. That guy needs to learn how to use and operate a PC and surf the iinternet I hoping some fan will bring this up at the Jump Festa. The PC is Kishi's friend, not his assistants when comes to polls and NS feedback.
