Last time going off-topic, since this is a game thread, but please allow me to say one last thing. As much as I don't want a repeat of Pain Invasion arc, I hope at least Obito can only revive small amount of people. Now, in the first podcast, courtesy to Darkerest, I addressed that Obito is pretty much setup for a redemption, though not like "I am going to betray Madara and beat him up." More like "I am going to one good deed and then me dead." Anyway, that's not my address. The address I was getting to is that Obito is not phased by the friendship talk from Naruto. That means it didn't work in terms of redemption. So what's the next best thing? You guessed it, love.

I believe Itachi has setup the main theme of the arc for Naruto: love and friendship. Don't you think it's coincidence that Itachi happened to use Minato as a great example of becoming a Hokage? Ok, granted he is his dad, but he even mentioned Kushina, who was what Minato called, "the important person that made him Hokage." Now, noticed Hinata never address his dreams of becoming Hokage? That because that's not her character as odd that sounds. Sakura knows his biggest dream and we witnessed her desire to make sure his dream can come true. This arc is closing many things from part 1, mainly Chunnin Exam timeline. Sakura has always been defensive for Naruto. Sakura is 100% behind Naruto to achieve his goals. Was Rin like that as well? It did indicate it. Actually, now I think about it, it's no coincidence that his dream to be Hokage resurface in this arc. I wonder why.

Honestly, this is a perfect setup and if Kishi does utilize it, not only he got my forgiveness, but he will tarnished Hinata as second rate compare to Sakura. Now, we just need Sakura doing something awesome, which is in pending. Again, the last volume was about friendships and acknowledgement of them being behind Naruto. Now why Sakura wasn't included. Could she be saved for the next volume? That will soon to be determined. I know Kishi is no fool to make ObiRin too much similar to NaruSaku. There's something that he wants to address. Right now, breathe easy with these flashbacks. We going to need it.

On game note, it may disappoint, but I'm getting it because I am a gamer.

Excellent post and I agree with everything you said. It's too much of a coincidence that Kishimoto made Obito's story merely a darker twist of Naruto's and what's more is that "dark twist" was what changed him: it was because of Rin, the Sakura parallel. Like I said, I believe the next NS moment will be massive and completely crush NH. Connected Sakura to Rin is enough, but going the extra mile is if Sakura get's seriously hurt or killed. Naruto's reaction ... plz it will definitely reaffirm his feelings. Hinata who? This is exactly why I don't think the NHers should be this confident and full of themself over their pairing. Kishimoto had doled out several hints that the ObiRin parallel will be confirmed to NaruSaku (something I feel like they should already consider, but they're either ignoring it or saying Hinata will be targetted). Seriously ... that ObiRin/NaruSaku confirmation is going to kill their pairing. Mark my words, I already see it.

But on-topic, I am disapointed a little in the game myself. I think what I don't really like is how they made up their own ending to Naruto. Why not just make another game next year that actually follows canon? It just annoys me, but I've already pre-ordered it. Hopefully, most of the game is enjoyable for me, I don't want to be completely upset with it. Really looking forward to playing Madara though, even if he is OP.

Basically, the next NS moment is Sakura defending Naruto's dream, am I correct?? yeah, I can see that. It wouldn't be surprising if Rin did so at one point, defending Obito's dream to someone who was mocking him. To push it even further, she happens to use the exact same line Rin used. This would probably make Obito snap and attack her only to be stopped by Kakashi.

Kakashi tries to prevent the same thing happening to them and calls Obito out on it. It will probably also finally give Kakashi the much needed kick to the backside he needs to finally face Obito seriously. Obito attempting to kill Sakura would be the last straw for Kakashi as Obito would essentially be dragging his students into their personal mess.

That it will. I'm warning them, but if they standby with 615 being canon, well don't say I didn't warn them. Again, Obito is made to learn something from this and it's hard to get through him because while Naruto noticed that he has suffered, he doesn't know what is it that caused him lost all humanity. The fact Obito said it out loud that Rin's death caused him to give up on life tells me there will be reminders coming to him from Sakura, who so happened to be in Kakashi's team, so it's like connection, more or less. If the parallel confirms, it's game over. It will probably gets worse for others because Minato can confirm Kushina/Sakura as well as Tsunade confirming about Team Sannin/Team 7, but it depends if they will be her last words. Once we get back to the battle and if Naruto shifts his focus on Obito, then everyone, be prepare: it's the decisive battle.

Yeah, game is disappointing but oh well...

That is possible. Obito has been taunting Naruto for a while, and we all know how Sakura is when it comes to insulting Naruto. It's possible that she may say it out loud. It's time for Naruto to realize how much she cares for him to win everything. It does suggest Rin has been supporting Obito to be Hokage, if you remember that panel of Obito declaring himself wanting to be Hokage. If Sakura uses the same line as Rin, yes, that will trigger him. Kishi is known to have characters of the present to say words from the past. It could be like how Naruto said the same line from Dan and Tsunade's little brother. I do believe Sakura will get badly hurt but not death. It will be proven that Naruto did something right: protecting her no matter what. Obito failed, but Naruto will not.

Nah, the way I see it, just before Obito hits Sakura, Kakashi steps in front of them and takes the blow. But not fatal, of course.

It's going to be all guess from that point. On one hand, people speculate the exact same panel as Rin's death. You know, when she got stabbed panel. In other words, she'll die. On the other hand, the attack will be prevented by Naruto. On the other hand, Kakashi will take the blow. It's a lot of speculation on that scenario. I do believe Obito will see his old self from Naruto/Sakura. Kakashi will pretty much tell Obito that his team reminds him the old team. It's like history repeated itself only Kakashi will do his best to keep all of them alive, which thanks to Naruto's last speech from last arc, including Sasuke. Either way, a parallel being confirm will demolish everything before and after. It's really the card that holds the most points.

Or Sakura gets another near-fatal death like she did against Sasori (except this time completely unconscious, to the point she actually looks dead), but is saved by the Rinnegan. It actually sounds plausible, since Obito only has one eye that can do the work. Which means it'll work at half the capacity.

All of these are very interesting theories, each of them are possible. I'm admittingly leaning towards a death or near-death scene just because I think it's a bit more likely, but I could be wrong. It's hard to really say for sure.

The one thing I do know is that the ObiRin parallel/NaruSaku parallel will be confirmed in a very obvious way and that will put a stake through NaruHina. They have no idea at all lol.

Anyway, we better stop derailing the game thread. xD Topics like this are meant for the ObiRin connection thread in Naruto General or the Debate thread.

You're right. We shall discuss it in other thread. I really wish to speak to you on podcast. It will be golden.

I just lolled to naruto's response after the statement from Bee about Hinata as her girlfriend

Naruto: Don't say weird stuffes! Hinata, he just make jokes!

Completely anti NH stuff here LOL

Yup. That got to hurt. But hey, at least she got the same dialogue from 559, which is friendly. Honestly, I think that's what Kishi is just doing. Plus the confession already happened, so these kind of developments are not what NH fans wanted.

Well, my copy got shipped. I got it for the X, so anyone else who's getting it and wants to challenge me, please do so.

[FoolishYoungling]

18 hours till I get the game.

[TouKen4Life3g]

So, how do I get the DLC again?

[Mik3]

So, how do I get the DLC again?

Subscribe to neon alley or shounen jump.

If not, someone is bound to sell their code on ebay.

Does a trial counts? If so, should I do it now?

[Derock]

Or, you can wait until they release it to the public, possibly in packs.

[FoolishYoungling]

So, how do I get the DLC again?

Get membership to Neon alley (1 month for $6.95) or Shonen Jump ($25.99 for 1 year). I myself didn't want either, but I wanted the DLC, so I got Neon Alley for 1 month. They still haven't shown me how to get the DLC from them yet, and the game is released tomorrow at my GameStop.

Yeah, but I want to kick their arses with Sakura in a uniform now.

Neon Alley's facebook said the code will be available tomorrow in the members section. I think the trial should work. If not, just get it for one month.

Ok thank you.

[FoolishYoungling]

I believe so. I hope it doesn't. I wasted my money if it does.

Lol sorry to say but I hope the opposite. But yeah, I know that feeling.
