Heres is a little more clear, it show that Hinata try to gentle fist Sakura and Sakura was waving her hands.

This would be fun

Hinata gets pissed. Sakura is freaked out, but tries to calm her down and she easily defends herself or hits her.

Naruto comes to the rescue, but both AU Sasuke and AU Hinata are annoying. So I want them to get a real slap. xD

and this is not just wishful thinking

Pierrot quality face there.

Naruto stops it before it turns into a fight. They never fight(in that scene).

Ino and Sakura are so cute~ It's like they've reversed roles from when they were kids in the real world. Sakura is now the one that protects Ino. c:

When I saw that scene it made me happy. Weird to see Ino acting that way, but the trust she put in Sakura to protect her was heartwarming. Like you said it was a reversed role of when they were kids in the real world. You can see the difference in their personalities when put in the protector role in the friendship just in that brief clip. Ino just took charge and it eventually started to bother Sakura as she slowly gained self-confidence that Ino was still seeing her as the pathetic little girl she rescued, not seeing her as someone that was her equal as a friend. Sakura's nature is more gentle and compassionate without needing to be the dominate one. She faces down the threat, then switches to kindness to the one that comes to her for help or protection. Then with a word of encouragement lets them reflect on their own.

Also, Sakura will definitely get a reality check by seeing Sasuke pay attention to other girls. It will make her realize that her feelings for Sasuke are pretty childish since it makes her look no better than those girls that surround him. And with Hinata down her throat about Naruto it will probably make her remember that her bond with Naruto is way more important than her childish crush on Sasuke.

Err, you're writing as if she reacted like the girls all over Sasuke, and as if all she'll be thinking about is Sasuke flirting with her. Serriously, Sakura wasn't like that even back at the beginning of part 1 of the manga, remember? Her reaction was rather mild, and note the tense eyebrows even as she lightly blushes- it's not the genuine romantic blush we saw directed toward Naruto in the adaption of chapter 245 and 469. (or even the fangirly blushes she had about Sasuke in part 1). Her reaction is mixed with a tension even in that scene on her balcony.

Even in early part 1 Sakura didn't let her crush on Sasuke interfere with what her mission was- actually she was paying more attention to Naruto most the time even in early part 1, for some reason most people seem to forget this and just picture Sakura standing around squealing "Sasuke kun" all the time, and throw out Sasuke's insult to her "useless". When actually she got the team concept a far sight better than Sasuke and better than Naruto too. Sakura was the one always thinking of Naruto's welfare even in part 1.

Sasuke's stalking isn't going to have any effect on her duty and feelings toward Naruto. That just not her character, people forget this. And from the other Sasuke stalking image we saw, his behavior will begin to disturb her more as it goes along- as her inserts himself into moments she is interacting with Naruto. That Ichiraku scene we saw first definitely showed that reaction, and the promo drawing the head animator Nishio, did for Lawson snacks reflects that too- heck in that one she looks like she wants to hide behind Naruto from Sasuke.

Look at the street scene with the glare she was directing toward Sasuke when she was with Naruto and Chouji. Doesn't look like she's in the least feeling anything positive about him there. Sasuke's expression looked smirky and arrogant both at the street scene and on the balcony. (knew he was a playboy)

Sasuke, like Hinata is just meant to keep Naruto and Sakura seperated from each other. Neither will work. Naruto outright is repulsed by Hinata, and Sakura might feel a bit flattered but it also bothers her on a level, and it won't have any effect on what she needs to do or her desire to stay close to Naruto, nor her feelings for Naruto. It never has, even back in early part 1. I can tell Kishimoto is showing people that in this movie as well. The Sasuke stuff is as much a red herring as the Hinata stuff, it's just the beginning dynamics are different for Naruto and Sakura. Naruto is not burdened by any remnant of past feelings for Hinata, Sakura is burdened (and in the current manga storyline is ashamed and depressed over having even those remnant of memory of feelings- it makes her feel like she's a bad person and failed Naruto.)

Don't know where people are getting the idea that Sakura is going to just be all swoony over Sasuke and not think of Naruto at all when the clips have made it obvious she won't be like that at all. Remember how abjectly miserable she looks at the Hokage mountain scene. She wants to get out of this place desperately but will suffer abject misery if it means Naruto is happy.

Yet what I'm seeing from a number of the comments is that "Sakura is just a clueless fangirl over Sasuke and someone else will have to administer her a clue-by-four to get her to care about Naruto's welfare at all."

What in all of creation would lead you all to think that when everything in the manga, and in this movie even shows you that the stuff she's dealing with Sasuke is a minor point at most. Her entire focus is on Naruto and his welfare. We've already been told the Sasuke and Hinata stuff is just fanservice, not an actual plotline element. The plotline is Naruto and Sakura end up in this genjutsu world. Sakura is wanting out of this trap really bad but Naruto is tempted by having that parental love and interactions he's longed for, so she's conflicted for his sake. Nothing in this genjutsu world has any hold on her at all. She's just miserable and knows she's in a trap and wants to get Naruto and herself free of it. The interactions Naruto and Sakura with their parents are the key plot point, then with their altered friends. Team 10 looks to have a stronger role than Team 8 from the clips.

HalfStarStudios are you becoming a moderator and a lie detector?

It seems that you take on the job of reality check each time someone show some tipe of wishful thinking desire.

Woah calm down. No need to get angry, I was just explaining to him or her that they never did fight in that scene like they thought or hope they did.

Why would someone need a reality check? All they need to do is look at the scene and realize Naruto stops Hinata from attacking Sakura then and there, no fight whatsoever.

Why would you want Hinata and Sakura to full out fight anyway? That's useless and unnecessary.

It looks like everytime we get new screenshots, another trailer is also on the way.

To test there battle strength, to see which is stronger, to learn if Hinata's alter ego has new abilities, I could go on but there are many reasons. I think you already knew that though.

I would like them to have a little fight. Why? Because I think it would be cool.

EDIT:Sorry for my original reply lol I thought you were the person who was snapping on me.

Lol exactly. Though if it's canon Hinata, she would get owned. I wonder if AU Hinata is stronger. o:

Thanks for posting this link :-) It would be nice though if a better quality version becomes available soon//

On a side note, since the movie is so much more popular than the others were, do you think this increases our chances of getting raw footage of this (like a camrecording) or do you think that the increased popularity will just mean more security at the actual event?

/soexcitedforthismovie

I just like jealous Hinata because she's being used to indirectly point out Naruto and Sakura's close relationship, and the more angry Hinata gets, the more she feels threatened by Sakura.

Wow a lot of Narusaku lately nice to see a turn around with rtn I definitely think she's going to start off swooning over Sasuke but then realize later on in the movie with progress that he's just a playboy.

[ciardha]

Sakura is not happy by something Hinata said here

Well Sakura's blush looks exactly like her blush when Sasuke gave her the rose. Heck, the eyes even look the same. Told you there was tension in Sakura's reaction, even in the balcony scene.

I see Pierrot has no problem fanservicing Sakura's breasts, unlike Kishimoto - that's definitely a full B cup there. Well, if the more ridiculous Sakura bashers on the Naruto forums/deviantart try to use the she's flatchested like a boy as their reason for disliking her, there's a nice screen shot to refute that- and that was authorized by Kishimoto even if he's too embarrassed to do such an image of Sakura himself.

actually....she looks flustered here :o

the one with the rose looks like shes happy :o like fangirl happy :3

[Strangelove]

Lol Sakura's expression when she realized who Naruto's parents are.

Also the way they introduced themselves, that little bow was way too cute. But I wonder, what triggered Kushina's anger.

I'm pretty sure it's not the same. Also I always knew she wasn't flat chested after seeing the pic of her in the bikini on the 2011 calendar. Now everyone will know!

It seems that she will aleays be there for him again.

Beats me -- maybe because Naruto never went home the night before, as he was running around with Sakura trying to figure out what the hell was going on?

Yes, I noticed these two moments in the trailer -- I love that it seems like Sakura will be emotionally supportive of Naruto in this movie (not that she wouldn't be normally, but that Kishi made sure to add it into /his/ movie) -- I just hope that he actually opens up to her, and doesn't try to keep his feelings to himself like he normally does, even if he does think that he's doing it so as not to burden her-- DAMMIT NARUTO YOU TWO ARE IN THIS TOGETHER TALK TO HER
