If NaruHina and SasuSaku do become canon, it would leave quite a few unanswered questions:

1. Why spend so much manga time showing how much Sakura's feelings for Sasuke are doing nothing more than hurting her?
2. Why spend much, much more manga time developing Naruto's and Sakura's relationship over Naruto's and Hinata's?
3. Why put so much emphasis on the romantic tension between Naruto and Sakura? (i.e. Sai's revelation to Sakura, Sakura's confession to Naruto)
4. Why spend the manga time foreshadowing things and drawing parallels between Naruto and Sakura?
5. Why never once indicate that Sasuke has romantic feelings for Sakura, only for him to turn around and fall in love with her?
Among many other questions.

I mean, this manga belongs to Kishimoto, and he can do whatever he wants with it... But if things went this way then I would just wonder "why?"

Exactly. If Kishi was to throw all that away, I'd be angry.

I'm not even sure if Kishi cares about these questions... because by making NH canon, he basically ignores all that's been addressed in his own manga. It goes against logic, and that's why I don't see him logically answering these questions anymore.

 

I wanted him to wrap it up, but I didn't expect him to do it like this. It's rushed and will probably be painful... (I'm talking about the possibility of NH canonization)

Yeah, and the "bad writer" explanation doesn't fly with me, because this stuff had to have been deliberate.

I'm not going to say this on the movie thread because it's being stalked to oblivion, but I don't see what the fuss about the movie is about. First, it's not canon. Second, RtN had even worse things for us (before we saw it). NaruHina fans sure are gullible.

[questdrivencollie]

lol Is it?

Come at me stalkers. I don't give a darn.

Yeah, some of us get worked up over this stuff sometimes. But, we're all better now
I'm glad I wasn't here when RTN was advertised, that sounds like one whole big mess.

If you guys ever want to have a laugh and feel better about SasuSaku and how dead it is, just remember when Sakura said this during Part 1....

DAMN, I remember this. She basically just said exactly what's wrong with SasuSaku, and that's Sasuke having no interest or feelings for her. Smart girl

I found it again while re-watching dub. it was amazing and basically predicted so much.

Woah!2000 pages.

We'll make it 3000 pages when NS is canon.

That's funny because she kept having Sasuke on her mind even when he rejected her she said she was in love with him

I don't think we can make it 3000 pages by Thursday ;)

There are like +100 people lurking it. That's not normal. Even in chapters nights there's much less than that.

Yes. A NaruSaku troll

I agree with the people who can see that the movie trailers and the scenes and lines they chose to highlight are very carefully pieced together. It's not secret to Kishi and SP that the ships draw massive crowds and hype up the fandom. Yes, it seems they're pushing NH, but I believe it's just very good marketing. Wouldnt be a very wise business decision to announce such a huge answer and turn away a large chunk of audience. Naruto and Sakura are the only characters who have a deep and profound and developed relationship. They have grown together and we know from many different occasions and characters (Yamato, Sai, etc) that Sakura has romantic feelings for Naruto she just hasn't decided on or realized yet. So while I'm anxious that Kishi wil give into pressure and go with NH, I'm not completely settled on accepting NH as canon. Would be the worst ***pull of history. The NH fans use the argument that because Sakura hasn't vocally reciprocated Naruto's feelings to demonize her and twist the perception of her character. What they don't realize is that the same can be said of Naruto's ignoring of Hinata's feelings, and at least we know that Sakura does indeed reciprocate on some level currently, even if she hasn't realized it. It's been pointed out by several characters who are crucial mouthpieces for Kishi (Sai, Kakashi, Yamato). 

We've seen a very tailored 40 seconds of the movie. Not too concerned right now. I am interested however, how he plans to satisfyingly end out the manga next week. To leave such answers to the movie is strange. If the movie is not playing marketing games and NH IS being developed in the next movie, that means that the manga will either end with Naruto confessing and being rejected by Sakura, which is not uplifting or a way to resolve a decade of build up, or Naruto not confessing at all and running over to check on Hinata after they release IT, which would be disgusting seeing as we've been waiting for the moment that Naruto fulfills his promise and feels worthy enough to voice his feelings. However if the movie is playing games with the marketing, then we should have a clue as to whether Naruto and Sakura are close romantically in the movie, or a reason why Naruto hasn't confessed. Either way, extremely curious. OR, final option, Kishi will leave it all for the movie. Which would be incredibly lame. 

I don't dislike Hinata except for the fact that she's a one-dimensional side character. The Hero who has been blabbing he never gives up for over a decade should get the heroine that he's been growing closer to for years. They have the most mature and developed, profound relationship. If Kishi ruins Sakura's development from shallow girl obsessed with the dude she thinks is hot, to the woman she is now by having her still love Sasuke and fail to recognize her feelings for Naruto would be some horrible writing and the destruction of a strong female character. Would mean her development went from "sasuke-kunning" to..."sasuke-kunning". Ten years of growth gone, all in order to make way for a side-character centric, underdeveloped one-sided disney-princess style love. 

 

Kishi has obviously been a NS fan from day 1. Read the story, these two have had more progress and "screen time" than any other two characters. Even Naruto and Sasuke. To see him abandon all that build up would not only destroy Sakura's entire development, but throw away a great relationship that he created. It would be horrible.

Nervous for the final chapters more than the movie. These will, if he does it right, give some indication whether the trailers are being deceptive. 

If he doesn't confess in the final chapters, when it's been reiterated throughout the entire arc (which has only been a few days storywise, not leaving much room for change of heart), Kishi better give good reason why when we know he still loves her. Don't want to see the protagonist give up on the girl he loves in the last chapter.
