That is enough.

 

Stop giving everyone false hope (no one in particular)

 

The movie takes place before 700. So, yes NH/SS are canon.

Just stop it! 

I won't give anyone false hope, I have my doubts too, but I still refuse to give up!!!!!

[MangaReader]

What if there's no development the entire movie, but they only show the NH/SS stuff in the credits. Like the entire movie was NS, but they had to change the credits because of the epilogue!

Kishi is still a jerk?

[Catwho]

The cast of Fairy Tail in unhskikrforever's sig is really summing up my feelings of this chapter, now that it's sinking in.

 

I think the fact that Salada looks so much like Karin, and Sakura refers to "her father" then it flashes to Sasuke - what if Sakura ended up taking care of Sasuke's kid for some reason, but Salada isn't actually her own child?  Naruto's kid has blonde hair.  Hinata's kid has her purple hair.  Sasuke's kid very pointedly has black hair. 

Even Sakura's damn hair color lost out.  I can't even.

Clearly Kishimoto's response to the ending

Yup. But could imagine how angry EVERYONE would be????

Exactly! Because this is how I was AFTER I woke up early to read the chapters this morning. 

This is how I felt finding out NH/SS is canon:

Yep the little Salad is 100% Uchiha in terms of looks, lol. Shocking, considering manga never follow your basic dominants/recessives when it comes to the gene pool.

THIS. With Sakura's current development, if she was a real person, she wouldn't revert back to her old self. If she's the person before 698 or even before the confession, she would already have growing feelings for Naruto. Kishi's the one who made her like this in the end.

 

That is exactly how I've been feeling this whole time regarding Sakura's character in these last two chapters. Everything just felt so forced and out of character with the development she got throughout the war. It's like I stated earlier, Kishi is the real culprit behind this scheme, and I know great character development when I see it.

 

 

For example I had this scrapped story idea that could've become a 200 page book (but I could never figure out how to start it at the time), and this how it was:

 

 

The Main character (Ryuu) has a goal he wants to seek out a dragon, and no one believes he'll set out that goal. He's kinda like one of those  fun outgoing kids. At the same time Ryuu also got a passion for draw and has a responsibility for taking his little sister, Azuki whenever his parents aren't around.   

 

The female character (Grace) is among the crowd, but promised to help him due to loosing a bet. She likes to be a little dressy, quirky, and just loves to make challenges. She's also completely against being interested in anyone romantically. Grace also has a passion for music, and playing the guitar at the park. 

 

 

Ryuu first met Grace through an Ice cream challenge. Basically, Grace claimed that nobody could beat her, and he ended up challenging her to prove a point about being overconfidence. The end result was a tie and result in vomit. Of course they didn't officially introduce themselves until they saw each other in class. Once that happened they would always compete with one another through bets (for homework, checkers, chess, jinga,  who get the most in I spy, eating/drinking contest ,etc) and it through this bets they became best friends. Ryuu on the other hand would start developing feelings for her over time as they hanged out. 

 

Over the course of the story Ryuu discovers something about his goal through the main antagonist's introduction, and it changes him. However to avoid anyone from noticing he tries to do things that he'd do on a daily basis, but nothing worked. Even when it came to spending with his little sister Azuki. At first Grace doesn't pick up on is plus, until Ryuu missed out something that caused her realize something was up. When Grace found out Ryuu was keeping something from her, and showed a darker side of his character she'd never seen.  Grace tried to reason with him, but he refused. She wondered what happened, and why Ryuu suddenly change? 

 

I wasn't sure where to have taken the story from there, but at that point Grace would be concern about him, and wonder why feels worried about him. Then something would've put Ryuu on the verge of death, and she'd do whatever can to save him. When Ryuu woke up and saw how worried she was, and wondered why she's so worried about him. Her response would be romantic related on her end, and he'd promise once I finish everything...."  Grace'd say, "I know." 

 

 Once all the obstacles were completed, Ryuu came back to Grace and she scolded him for his injuries against the main antagonist, and gave him an affectionate hug and kiss for coming back alive.   

 

 

My point behind the story idea is that you see how Ryuu and Grace were in the beginning, and  as the story progresses they slowly start developing feelings for one another. Not only that, but initially Ryuu had a goal to find a dragon, and by the end he would've completed his goal of finding a dragon. The same thing could be said about Grace who didn't give a kitten about viewing boys romantically in the beginning, and by the end you see her become the exact opposite of who she was in the beginning of the story.   

 

 

 

 

Now bringing this back to the topic of NaruSaku, the development and the build up, and it ultimately got ignored by the end. That's like saying Grave (female lead from my story idea) developed feelings for Ryuu, but when he gets back she's like "Hey how'd it go... cool story." That by itself would be massive disgrace towards her character and the development i would've given her throughout the course of the story. Unfortunately Sakura didn't get the proper treatment that Grace got from my book idea.  It's like I said before none of this is Sakura's fault, it's clearly Kishi's cause he's one writing it. 

 

 

Also I came to a decision on what I'm gonna do with what I have relating to Naruto. 

 

 

I'm gonna finishing collecting the manga (Whatever I'm missing) up until Volume 71 because it ends with Kaguya's defeat and Team 7 escaping the other dimension with  Hogoromo saying Naruto, Sasuke and Everyone thank you for saving the world. For me that's a good point to stop since it serves as an Open ending. 

 

 

I'll also be getting Road to Ninja, yes it's non canon, but that's also the closest thing for NaruSaku being canon in my eyes at least.

 

 

 

The Storm games I'm not gonna worry too much about since it's just a button mashing fighting game. Best I'll do is avoid the story mode. 

 

 

I will freely admit the ending to the manga was really lackluster which is why I'm not gonna buy Volume 72 (Final one).  As far as The Last Naruto The Movie goes, I'm gonna watch it just to see how Kishi's gonna attempt to make NaruHina and SasuSaku viable accepting (Which I highly doubt is gonna have the same caliber as these final two chapters)

 

The Part 3 mini series from what i've heard will be done by the person that wrote Blood Prison, not sure if that enough is true. if that's the case then that might a little interesting, but if that's the case I'll view the first chapter and see where it goes from there.

We need to make a spongebob thread on here. This is actually cheering me up and got a sincere laugh out of me the first time in a few days...

Replace some words...at it fits right in with Kishi as the storyteller in Patrick and the intelligent part of the fandom as Spongebob

[unhskikrforever]

I think that goes both ways though. If the movie designs we got are true, why are the kids there? I don't think there'd be enough time to show a full on timeskip to when they have these kids and stuff, would they? .__. 

 

If the reason the kids are in the movie is due to the time-skip, I believe there is enough time to show that. A minute or two is enough to do a time-skip and show Naruto and Hinata with their kids. But if it's a genjutsu, I believe they have to show everything that happened in chapter 700, with the other characters included in the movie. That would help us understand chapter 700.

 

If it's a time-skip though, well, I don't think anyone cares because the movie is basically about NH development. But it still doesn't tie all the loose ends. And I don't think there's enough time for Kishi to do that in the movie either.

Haha I agree! Because Spongebob can relate to everything! But I feel better too! Like, I think I can honestly laugh about the situation. I'm not sure if I can face my NH friends yet, but eventually i will be able to.

Masashi Kishimoto is trolling naruhina fans. Dont worry.

Ok.

Kishi: Let me tell you a story. Once there was a boy named Naruto, who loved a girl named Sakura very much,

Fans: *look at him in awe*

Kishi: He loved her so much, that he gave up on her and went for his stalker, Hinata. The End.

Fans: *get upset*

[Geninja]

Honestly I feel like the massive effect that the shippings had on the naruto franchise ruined the ending. I think an open ending would have been the better route imo , but they wanted more $$$ so I guess that is why they created a part 3 with all these asspull kids.

 

They're not gonna get more $$$ though. By choosing this route they've chosen a specific outcome and because of that they will in fact lose money, lots of it. Especially in Japan where NS is the most popular pairing.
