Well she'll show it somehow. She wants to be "the one Naruto is looking for." She is just tsundere.

What do you think she'll say?

[FoolishYoungling]

What do you think she'll say?

I don't know. A part of me thinks she'll want him to be with Hinata because of her unselfish love for him. Then he'll get that booty (Sakura).

What part were we wrong?

About parings we are 100% right , but when it comes to how the actions proceeds there were times when we were wrong and I was trying to be a little unbiased   .

He wasn't. 

 

 

Naruto very clearly hesitated here, too.  But his hesitation in #631 didn't equate to joking any more than his hesitation in #691 cancels out what he said in #631.  

 

The two scenes are consistent in attitude and honesty.  Sakura being his girlfriend is what he wants.  It's how he feels.  She has said she loves him but it's confused and up in the air and it didn't go down the way he wanted and he hasn't had a chance to deal with it or meet all of his goals yet so he HESITATES about openly committing to the status of their relationship.

 

They're sort of boyfriend and girlfriend and yet they're not.

 

Good grief.  Interpreting these panels is not that complicated.  There's no need to make yet another mountain out of a mole hill.  The two moments do not conflict, and in fact support each other.

 

Sigh.

 

So true really I'm tired of seeing NaruSaku fans all jelly about every little thing.

We don't need to over-analyse panels and sentences. Just think about the story as a whole.

It's very obvious since the start that Naruto will be loved back by Sakura.

 

Yamato's sentence would have no sense at all otherwise, and Naruto wasn't joking when he said to his father that Sakura was "almost" his girlfriend.

NaruHina would make no sense at all.
This story is about "never give up", Naruto is the hero, he should succeed in his dreams. All is very simple.
Maybe Kishimoto wants Sakura to "refuse" Naruto because of Hinata, maybe that's why he made her realise that she loves Naruto in the Pain arc. Otherwise, what sense could this scene has ? I could see Sakura saying something like " I don't deserve you, Hinata loves you so much " and Naruto answering " it's always gonna be you Sakura-chan ". I swear I can see it.

Really guys 631 is not that far away. Naruto stated once again that Sakura is the girl of his dreams. No way he would have joke about that in front of his dead father. Moreover, Hinata was right there. If he was in love with her he would never say Sakura is kind of his girlfriend in front of Hinata. He might be dumb somethimes but he's really sensitive. Remember when he left Sakura with Sasuke when they were 13 ? Really guys Naruto is not a jerk.

I see. Sorry.

We (NS fans) say she was looking at Naruto! :)
 
While SS fans...

LOL! xoxoxo

She is looking at NARUTO. Otherwise it would not make any sense given what the sage says -.- this has nothing to do with shipping. We get to see Sakura's and Sasuke's expression concerning the sage's description of Naruto being the one ninja.
How is this still a subject?!

How will Kakashi fight against Mei if he doesn't have the Susanoo to protect him from the lava or acid? Granted, his Taijutsu are probably better than her but my concern is how will he able to get close to her? Seeing how Mei herself wasn't affected by the acid in a closed room setting (against Sasuke), she could surround the atmosphere around her in acid without hurting herself. Probably Kakashi can attack from underground, but Mei is an earth type too so that's not plausible. None of Kakashi's elemental ninjutsu would be strong enough to counter her kekkei genkai ninjutsu. The unknown factor is genjutsu.

Is Mei known for executing jutsu quickly? Or having noteworthy reflexes and speed, in general? She has a sizable amount of ninjutsu with various effects, but I've never seen her shown any impressive speed. There's no reason for Kakashi to not be capable of dodging her projectiles if Karin, of all people, was quick enough to avoid her lava release at close range. The acid mist could pose an issue, but in an open area environment it shouldn't be difficult to steer clear of it. Mei would need to do everything she can to keep Kakashi at a distance since her only taijutsu feat consists of using a flying kick on an unsuspecting Black Zetsu. And there's absolutely no genjutsu repulsion feats as you mentioned. She could be rendered helpless by the genjutsu Kakashi used on Sakura for all we know (although you would assume that she has some resistance to illusions, considering she's the Mizukage).
 

And Regarding Hiruzen, I agree Kakashi could win with Taijutsu due to Hiruzen's old age and Kakashi being more faster, agile, and flexible because of that. However, it's essential that he beats him up before Hiruzen summons the monkey king. Taijutsu would not be good enough when there's a monkey king who defeated the strongest Kage in hand to hand combat (Hashirama and Tobirama).

Even with the monkey staff, I believe Kakashi would have his chances, albeit he would need to keep at a distance since Hiruzen is the dominant force in CQC. They both have a plethora of different element ninjutsu at their disposal, but Kakashi's is more subtle. He could rely on a bunshin feint using his Raiton clone to momentarily immobilise Hiruzen, giving him the opening he needs for a finishing blow.

I'm just throwing ideas out there.

WE ARE DESPERATE! LEAVE US ALONE!!!

Like I said. Do not be surpised when she is mad at him next chapter.

Wait why would she be mad at him, he didn't even look at her when he was talking about finding someone like his mother, maybe she'll give him a look or maybe she'll take notice of that statement.

 

I just want Kishi to hurry up and make it canon and not wait until after the movie just because Naruto is of much of a puss....seriously if fodder man with a broken arm can confess then so can Naruto any further delay at this point is just stalling. 

[KnS]

i agree with their logic

 

Actually, upon reexamining the drawings she may not be looking at Naruto.  I had assumed Naruto had run out toward Kurama in a direction that would make sense for the direction of her glance.  

 

But after looking at it more closely, I think Sakura is looking at Hagoromo and his right shoulder is in the panel to prove that along with giving us perspective.  Her glowing smile is for the Sage because he said something nice about Naruto.

 

She's not looking at Sasuke, and Sasuke is certainly not looking at her.  It's hard to tell with the scans the way they are, but if he is in fact giving a sideways glance, it's at Hagoromo as well -- probably because he dared to say something positive about Naruto and not his Royal Heinie.  I mean Highness. 

 

The simple fact is that if Sasuke were the least bit interested in Sakura or how she felt about anything, Sasuke would not have stood 15 feet away from her when she called him over.

@NS4L3G: where did u read stuff was leaked from the newest game?

I don't know why but I just realized how badly I want Naruto and Sakura in this pose ...

Why no one can think Hagoromo can move? He has moved. He was looking at Kakashi while his head was tilted, but after small talk about Naruto changing Bijuus, his face directs at Kakashi.

To be honest, I don't know if it's leaked but since you're in tumblr, you have saw Kushina and Rin's interaction in motion. That was from the actual game. There are videos now.

Wow this chapter is wonderful...Minatoooo                

I loved the NH moment in this chapter.

[KnS]

I don't think the question is about Hagoromo moving or not moving, it's about interpreting what Kishimoto specifically chose to show us.

 

However, I do think it's pretty pointless to fret over such details.  I mean, we're talking about a mangaka who has made major gaffes in his panels before, Minato's face on the mountain/not on the mountain, Sharingan missing from eyes, etc.

 

If he can occasionally forget to draw something, he can occasionally forget the exact location of all his characters, too.  I mean, if that's what he actually did.

Well if you look at the middle left panel Hagoromo is turned sideways and Kurama and Son are behind him so I think 4life is right in here Sakura was looking at Naruto's way . Either way it makes no difference that smiled is meant toward Naruto and what was said about him .
