Yeah, and also the manga tells the story much better than the anime adaption. The anime tends to overplay character faults for comedic effects. (particularly for Naruto and Sakura)

Yes that is true but the anime also comes up with interesting scenes to fill some of the gaps in the story...like when they showed how Sakura made the "energy pills" .

The whole thing about Sakura making energy pills and being a bad cook was anime only. It's a common trope in both shonen and shoujo anime and manga that the main female character(s) are bad cooks, more often in shonen though, it's done for comedic effect, and used to be a slightly insulting jab at their "lack of femininity" (think Akane Tendo as a prime example of the trope being used that way.)- it was most often used for the tsundere type character in the past.

Naoko Takeuchi kind of stood that trope on it's head in Sailor Moon. Makoto/Jupiter, the tsundere of the inner senshi (shoujo tsundere are more realistic in their behavior than shonen, less comedic violent tempers, more tomboyish and physically strong, passionate emotionally and intensely loyal to friends)- absolutely loves cooking and baking and is quite skilled at it, far better than the more feminine girls of the manga.

This had an effect even on shonen manga where the lack of cooking skills is no longer automatically attributed to the tsundere character. Look at Naruto and Bleach- Kishimoto hasn't attributed that to any character male or female, and Kubo attributes it to the more feminine of the main female characters- Orohime.

I think it would be funny if Kishimoto thumbed his nose at the anime adaption and made Sakura a skilled baker of sweets, cakes, etc... (Considering he appears to be friends with Yoshihiro Togashi and Naoko Takeuchi, it would be a bit of a friendly nod to Takeuchi for him to do so.) Sakura is known to like sweet tasting food best- so any errors she would make would be more likely to make things overly sweet to some people, rather than bitter and nasty tasting to everyone.

To be honest, I havent read the manga regarding the part before the chapter where Sasuke fights Itachi... I wasnt likely given to read that much.
Then I noticed that the anime was always putting fillers within tha actual plot (too often), and a friend pushed me to read the manga. Could you please tell me of any other things that could give a slightly different idea of the NS relationship between the anime and the manga? (if there are more)

Nothing much I can recall.

The relationship is less slap slap kiss and more Will They or Won't They?

[Klos]

Mmm... that makes me want to read it XD ... by any chance do you remember the chapter number or what were they doing at that time to search for it?

There's a part in the anime during the Hidan and Kakuzu arc. When Naruto was learning rasen shuriken Sai and Sakura was watching him train. Sakura starts talking negatively that the nature manipulation is impossible and all. Sai then followed her lead and started talking negatively about Naruto insulting him, this obviously got Sakura mad and she punched a tree leaving a small hole. She starts telling him all of the positive things about Naruto defending him completely, proving how much she believes in him. Sai then reveals to her a book about how words can reveal someone's true feelings and he made her angry on purpose so that she tells him the truth about how she feels for Naruto. Sakura finding out that he tricked her blushes and continued watching Naruto train before Sai made a comment about her soldier pills and got her ticked off at him, Sai ended up giving her his ink umbrella at her and left. She got back watching Naruto train smiling at him telling herself that you can do it Naruto.

This moment in the anime proves two things:

1. How much faith Sakura has for Naruto.

2. How much of a good friend Sai really is to make Sakura spill the beans to how she really feels for Naruto.

To me that was one of the best filler/inserted manga story line N/S moments I have ever seen. Second after the omake from 129 I just love the N/S date at the festival.

I loved the episode of the rasen shuriken training field
I cant believe that didnt happen in the manga though
Will check out the 129 and see right now

[socermania2]

i,ve been watching some of the ns fans talk about sakuras confession and the ss fans jest eat them alive it's sort ofsad when you cant even talk about a pairing without being bashed to H*ll

What was the rasen shuriken training episode.

[Gravenimage]

What was the rasen shuriken training episode.

The one I said about Sakura defending Naruto I think it's was episode 81 or 82.

Don't worry those dorks are full of crap

[Miss Soupy]

dfammer, don't bash the other pairing fans...we don't like when NS fans are bashed, so it isn't right to do it in return.

HAHAHA, Naruto and Sakura are drawn almost exactly the same when they are turned on by Konohamaru's sexy jutsu. They even look alike when they get disgusted.

yup alot of their expressions match each other throughout the manga. Thats why i believe they will be together at the end, they are so alike, yet so diffrent. He is her earth, her foundation upon which to grow, and she is his heaven, his peace and tranquilty and also his reason to shoot for the stars.

also going through all the old manga to find narusaku moments i came upon this

http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/343/08/

look at sakura's face in the bottom panel, is it just me or does it look like shes flirting with naruto there. Ir looks like she has a seductive look on her face if im not wrong
