That was one of the most pivotal points in the entire series when it came to how Sakura felt about Naruto. It's to the point that even the authors of the Kizuna books pointed out regarding that moment in the section that focused on love. They said something along the lines of Sakura's wish being to see Naruto's dreams come true. It was really touching.

That's why I want the essence of that moment to come back in some form. It would be pretty amazing if Sakura said that she wants to help make Naruto the Hokage since she desires to see his wishes come true.

It would be a very beautiful parallel with MinaKushi since in the flashback of Naruto's birth Minato mentioned how Kushina was the one that helped him become the Hokage. It would be pretty amazing that Minato himself was around to hear Sakura say those words to Naruto.

I really wish that Kushina could appear in some manner as well, but I know that it's next to impossible. Can you imagine Minato and Kushina defending Naruto and Sakura? Just like it was in Road to Ninja.

I can see Minato defending Naruto and Sakura. Like Madara trying to attack Minato at the moment he came or while fighting him or while talking to him, then it went out of the way of Minato and goes directly to Naruto and Sakura. Minato will quickly jump to defend them, at least, if anyone else jumped instead.

I don't think it's that possible, but anything could happen regarding with Minato.

So.... How many people in here think Sakura is going to get a power up in this volume. I would like to see some action from our favorite heroine.

I think she could somewhat get a power up if Kishi wants her to engage in battle. I think if she got one, it's Slug Sage Mode or another power up to her abilities that is related to the ones of Tsunade.

Sakura can't use her summoning unless she was trained by Tsunade back there.

I really am curious how Sakura's development at the power-ups chapter will go, to be honest.

Im confident that NS is gonna get a big moment. Just all rests on what SS gets

Is slug sage mode even a thing? And if it is, why would Sakura need it? And who would she learn it from?

Might be considering all big 3 animals had a Sage Mode.
Though, Tsunade's Slug Sage Mode might be her Byakugou.

I'll be honest, I don't blame you there. Will it be big, small, or even anything? I'm not afraid of it, but I just hope it's reasonable. I guess that's why I want to happen now, so we can get that out of the way and make NS really the endgame for this arc. After all, NS always ends up in the end, but I digress. Also, I do want to happen because lately, Sakura is getting her moments and putting Sasuke in mix is like a big line-up of developments. Naruto's part for her seems like it's building up to be grand. This is the waiting game.

I just realized something while re-reading some chapters. After the reunion and Sasuke is highly injured, afterwards, Sakura isn't even thinking what is he doing, if he is ok and stuff like this, while she's always been portrayed thinking at Naruto and his good and that "we'll die together". And when she thinks at it, she's only worried if Naruto will be ok, not Sasuke.
I don't know about you guys but in my book, this speaks volume.
IF she'd still be THAT in love with Sasuke, I am sure she'd be worrying about Sasuke too. Yet, the only one is Naruto.
And I am not getting the 450 reason... I'll have to read forward for that...

Ofc he tried to kill her two times there, Sasuke wanst highly injured but rather fatigued, Karin healed his wounds.

That's true. I didn't really think about it. You do make a good point. You can't really say about 540 because it was about her feelings, not wondering if he's doing ok or anything. Plus, I still don't see a reason for her to be on Sasuke's side when he shows up because it's not that she's needed for him and Naruto is the one that does, especially now Kyuubi's chakra don't really recover him as like before. Now, she's actually really needed for Naruto. Sasuke got it covered. So yeah, an interaction I can see, but that's how far it can go. Plus, to me, I rather have him fight Madara head up instead of fighting Juubi, because the story was pushing him to confront Madara more than anything.

Yes which if Kishi wants to show it in brief, he can do it by making a flashback in the background.

It's not that she do needs it, it's a power up to her skills and healing abilities. That's all. She could have learned it from Tsunade.

It all depends if she'll get a power up or not. If she got one, it doesn't have to be Slug Sage Mode.

[Chatte]

It isn't necessarily about what she has done and is going to do, is about this whole who Sakura really loves, deep within. And those instances truly showed me. Compare Sakura part 1 who was always worried about Sasuke kun with part 2 Sakura and the difference will be noticeable.

I was thinking that Sasuke would apologize to her in this battle at some time. I somewhat think that Sasuke will apologize to Sakura. It could be in this battle or in the last. The apology can very well happen, but it doesn't mean that Sakura is back to be like before, having feelings that she wants. It's just something that needs to be done from Sasuke. Though, when he left the village and said " Thank you ", it could be it in the place of the apology.

If he did apologize, then it's something that is no surprise.

It's given. It's just when will it happen is a matter of thought that everyone has in mind. I want to get it out of the way so there's no more in pending. Frankly, NS has others in pending that's making any others seem like it's never made in the first place. This battle seems like it could end in this volume, so best to get everything out of the way. Not only that, but if Kishi don't want to go jumpy, best to get Sasuke's part out of the way, so anything else will feel rightfully ordered. Right now, it seems like it's on NS favor and it could only go higher.

I guess that's why people are afraid for many reasons. I explained in the podcast, which will be uploaded soon, that there are many reasons why Sasuke showing up now would do no favor for SS. That's why a lot of people are upset that Minato shows up in possibly the worst timing for pairing fans, especially the situation she's placed in. What's worse is if Sasuke is there but elsewhere, say like next to Madara, then the whole sorry thing will be delayed, especially if Sasuke still has to settle with Naruto. Lastly, this volume seems like it's building up something grand for NS, and Paptala pointed out that perhaps the reason why we didn't see Naruto transferring chakra to Sakura was because maybe he wants the first impression to be best impression. I mean if we see it twice, it won't be that grand, so first time seeing it will be special if it's that intention, much like the confession not making her say the line, rather than repeat herself.

If Sasuke will apologize to her in this battle, I think it can happen when he arrives at the battlefield and have a moment of talk with Naruto and Sakura, that if he can considering the situation in the field, or he can simply say it to her when the battle is over and he's going to leave again if there's going to be a chit chat with him and Naruto at this time.

Though, I do think if his apology will be, it will be in the last battle. But, like you said, it can happen in this battle to put everything else rightfully in place later. I think that both situations are equal in chance.

And, yeah, it seems that there's something grand awaiting for NS. I think next chapter will tell us more if this thought is more true XD

No one knows, it can also backfire into her still having feelings for Sasuke then bye NS or NS ending up with an asspull or just na open ending.

Here's another problem for haters (note: I don't like to address other pairings fans, just haters/anti):

If Sasuke apologize in the later scene and not here, that could be bad because again, it feels like there's something grand for NS in this volume or at least that's how it's being seen that way. That said the problem is that NS can increase the chance by a lot to the point of SS happening, let alone keep the feelings for Sasuke, will go low heavily, making like their confrontation to be almost 100% friendly. That's why people fears a lot with this development, to the point even the hater makes a video about overview Sakura's character. What a timing, wouldn't you say.

She still have leftover feelings for him. She's not fully healed from them yet, and what I meant with " having feelings that she wants " are the feelings that she wants to love him which it isn't the case. She doesn't want Sasuke as a person that she considers her true love. She wants to fully finish with this, but it's not the time yet for her to be completely over him. Maybe she'll show us that she's totally over him in this battle or maybe not. Who knows when Sakura will declare it or show it. It's for drama.

Yup. Plus, this timing or another, we all know that Sasuke apologizing means he's sealing deals from everything bad he has done to his friends before. It's linked to his redemption.

I guess Kishi has a hidden card on it. If he'll do that, it will be a big surprise. Not to mention the Sakura-Hashirama theory.

Sakura might interact with Hashirama if he finds out she's Tsunade's apprentice. If Madara mentions her, those two will react the most.
