cause we do care XD

sure its pointless to care, but by the end of the day when a narusaku moment does happen we go straight to the naruhina fans and see what their reactions are.

we wanna brag about our moments. its not fun if we only talk about it with fellow narusaku fans all the time.

That's not how I feel. I just ignore the naruhina and sasusaku shippers, why bother if they aren't harassing narusaku shippers. Now, the rabid ones who stalk narusaku posts (on any Naruto related forum) and works (anywhere on the net) to bash Sakura irritate the fire out of me. That to me crosses the line. Because of that, when the manga concludes with the obvious from the start (to anyone who knows how to actually read manga, instead of applying western pop culture tropes to manga)- narusaku, I will laugh mockingly at the rabid Sakura bashers- offline. With a simple "I told you so" online. Says all that needs to be said.

I have a nagging feeling the wiki still won't recognize it and make itself another fanon wiki. In that case, I'd be happy to copy and completely plagiarize all their articles and create a new wiki - with a different staff.

If you do this, could you please make sure the pages are also properly edited for typos and grammar in your version? Oh, and could we have a cool master timeline of the Narutoverse -- as a .jpg and with cross links -- like the one that the HP Lexicon had for Potter? Thanks.

LOL sure. Except the highest administrator of the site is completely neutral by his own admission. So I doubt there would be a problem. If anyone wants a delusion, they can go to the site made to delude.

Sakura does not love Naruto? Is that all they say? I hear them say Naruto doesn't love Sakura. Hinata's development is complete, let the NaruHina fans whine, it won't matter.

Although I am huge NS i am not sure(rather doubting) that sakura loves naruto(she might be still confused or still loves sasuke), so i won't say NH saying this in their favour, but as far as naruto doesn't love sakura thing goes I want to hit the people in their groin who say naruto doesn't love sakura! He always loved,loves and hopefully continue to love her forever!

Now that we mention the NaruHina and SasuSaku shippers bashing us when they get the chance, I have a special picture saved the moment NaruSaku becomes canon, and I'm gonna post it on as many boards as I can.

[sushi.]

Again.... Why the hell should we care about their reactions/ those types of fans? It's just plain pointless if you ask me.

fun laugh

Well I really hope I get to see an NS moment pretty soon which can establish my hope in NS back to 100% which has currently become less than half because of no NS moment for over 100 chapters! But only anti-NS moments!(yeah i consider the confession and chapter 540 as anti-NS or I am just confused about them)

I seriously hope I don't have to see sakura thinking about sasuke ever again in a romantic manner, but only see Naruto like that now! If she still showed love feelings towards sasuke then I think kishi would have made every pairing crack and whichever pairing happens it wont seem true! yeah I won't be able to accept narusaku if no proper clearance is given about sakura's feelings! and I hope she will prove her love to naruto properly in some of coming chapters which make naruto also believe that sakura loves him and not sasuke!

Look if you're going to continue complaining of how much faith you have lost over NS then go somewhere else and express your opinions to an anti NS forum they would love to hear from you. I'm sorry I'm not bashing or anything but I'm just plain sicked of this. Dozens of people in this thread have already given their opinions pin pointing to you the many reasons why NS is not dead, why 540 WASN'T an anti NS moment, why the confession WASN'T fake (which I am annoyed for saying it a million times that she WASN'T lying to Naruto about loving him, other members also feel the same way and even Kishimoto himself stated that she was telling the truth! What other proof could you ask for that she wasn't lying if the author himself said otherwise?!)

You're complaining that there hasn't been an NS moment in over a hundred chapters so what? How many NS moments there's been since the beginning of the manga??? Kishi doesn't have to continue making NS moments to proof that the pairing is alive because the pairing is the most logical in the entire manga, is the one pairing that has the most development throughout the entire story since the beginning. It has everything, friendship, trust, bonding, love, understanding etc if NH and SS has ALL those elements for development then I'm Osama Bin Laden reincarnated. Hell even in the upcoming 6th movie which Kishimoto wrote the story has Naruto and Sakura as main protagonist that says a lot right there of which is the pairing of his choice, not to mention the NS moments there will be in said movie. . You have to make yourself believe that the pairing is still alive if Kishi makes NS moments in every single chapter if he doesn't then you lose your entire faith in the pairing and it's over. No NS moments to you = NS dead for good and NH, SS canon. And I have also said this a million times which I am annoyed to repeat myself Kishi doesn't have time to be making pairing moments because he's focusing on the fourth ninja WAR, yes there's a war going on to decide the faith of the world. Let him finish with the war then we'll see what plans he has for the pairing that has the most development ever.

Just because there hasn't been any NS moments so far it doesn't mean the pairing is dead, and certainly it doesn't mean NH and SS has the lead. To me those pairings are so dead then a corpse burial ground. I understand you have the right to doubt and think wrong but if you don't have any faith in your favorite pairing, then you're not a true fan of that pairing at all. You're always posting your opinions and they're always negative, if you lack faith in NS then stop supporting the pairing now. But I'm not asking you to jump ships dear God no that's the last thing I would say to anyone. I'm asking you not to give up, don't lose hope. There's so much development for this pairing in the manga then it's impossible to be thinking otherwise of it. If you truly love NS then don't stop believing.

I apologize if my behavior wasn't right or if I bash but I'm frustrated about this I feel like James Cassidy a couple of days ago when he went berserk.

I used to have dought in NaruSaku, but then I read the manga and I found out just how much NH and SS was filler.

If you feel bad about NaruSaku's chances, just think about it this way:

Think of all the moments we've had showing that Sakura's feelings for Naruto are more than just platonic

• Her blush and "Do I look more womanly?" to Naruto in 245
• Yamato's comment to her in 297 ("It's not what you do for Naruto. It's how strongly you feel about him that counts. Just looking at you I can tell. You really-")
• Her leaning close to him with a flirtatious look and offering to feed Naruto ramen
• Her hugging him in front of a bunch of blushing and wide eyed villagers (and only little girl w/ the classic "how romantic" expression/pose)

And those are just the blatant ones I can think of off the top of my head that no one can reasonably argue against as being non-platonic (though they like to use the term ambiguous).

Now try and find me any comparable Naruto > Hinata moments or Sasuke > Sakura moments. You won't find any. There hasn't been one full on decidedly non-platonic moment from Naruto to Hinata or from Sasuke to Sakura.

Hard to believe that all the moments he's spent building Naruto and Sakura's relationship was just red herrings when he barely even built up the other two relationships at all in comparison, one-sided let alone mutually.

Yus, I got a feeling, that this year is going to be a canon year.

Otherwise, why would they release a movie that is so obviously climatic next year?

[Nate River]

My hope would be that we as a fandom would take the high road even if they chose not to.

Quit dashing my hopes.

Graven: we have been over this precise issue before and it was only a month ago. If he bothers you that much then ignore him. If you tire of explaining it then don't do it anymore. You have no obligation to make sure the guy has faith, but if you're going to bother with it quit telling him to leave the forum.

[ciardha]

Graven, just put him on your ignore list, I have. I give people a few chances but if they are insistent on continuing to take a negative view of Sakura's character- despite multiple people on here pointing out what is actually in manga canon and what Kishimoto actually said about Sakura, then I stop bothering and put them on my ignore list. It makes for a much more pleasant experience.

Thank you ciadha and I apologize to everyone for over reacting. Nate you're right too I won't pay attention to him anymore. He can think negatively all he likes but Kishimoto has shown us the truth in his manga all along, we didn't ignore it before and we're not ignoring it now. I'm feeling much better now.

Like I said before and I will repeat again, just because Sakura was thinking of Sasuke in Chapter 540 is not anti-NaruSaku. It was anti-SasuSaku. Yes Sakura still has feelings for Sasuke. I'm not going to deny that, no matter how much it displeases me. But her expression obviously showed guilt over caring about Sasuke in such a way but even then she's not in love with current Sasuke. She has lingering affection for the Sasuke she once knew. The Sasuke of Team 7 in Part 1. She isn't nor has she ever been truly in love with Sasuke, even in Part 1. Her feelings for Sasuke were stronger than a crush but still couldn't be called love. That is the truth of Sakura's feelings for Sasuke. Lack of NaruSaku moments lately, though frustrating to NaruSaku fans like us, makes complete sense. There in a middle of a war right now. Thinking about "love and "feelings" is unnecessary in a time like this. People possibly dying and fighting to save the ninja world is far more important. Would I like a NaruSaku moment? Yes. Do do I need a NaruSaku moment right away to bring up my faith in NaruSaku? Of course not! My faith in NaruSaku is still at its highest and barely wavered over the course of the series. I have no doubt that NaruSaku will be canon. I'm just waiting for the announcement .


It couldn't be more obvious that this will happen. Romantic moments such as the Unfinished Sentence, 4-tails, Hug scene, Feeding scene, First Part 2 chapter EVER and those are just the major ones that being in a romantic sense isn't a question at all. It was romantic. Even the small and subtle ones go in the NaruSaku direction. NaruHina and SasuSaku are both dead. SasuSaku died long and I'm still very surprised that you think it may happen just because Dragonball made Vegeta/Bulma canon. Toriyama made that pairing canon to piss off and confuse the fandom. In fact, Toriyama slapped any character together randomly without proper, not rushed development. Saying that Kishi will do this is absolutely ridicuolus. He is not Akira Toriyama who didn't get give two kittens about couples; he pretty much hated romance. Kishimoto, though claiming he is not good with romance(Which I disagree with on some level. He developed NaruSaku, MinaKushi, and JiraTsu well), is actually trying and cares about the romance department. The romance department was based on Slam Dunk, another anime, not Dragonball.

Like what more proof do you need, especially when the 6th movie coming out at one point, seemingly is NaruSaku and MinaKushi-centric given that Naruto and Sakura are the main characters and MinaKushi is a NaruSaku parallel? That movie enevitably will contain NaruSaku support. With so much foreshadowing, development, Sakura reciprocating his feelings(What we believe) and Kish truly trying to make an effort in the romantic entanglements, how can you doubt it because of one panel ?. Another "Sakura thinking of Sasuke" is inevitable. Why? Not because Sakura loves Sasuke and not Naruto but because she is deeply conflicted between Naruto and Sasuke which is why when she confessed, it seemed slightly forced and unsure. Sakura at time still didn't know who her heart belonged too. Sakura is still in the same positon in her personal life that she was then. She is not proud of still caring about Sasuke that way and does not want a romantic relationship anymore with him. She wants to love Naruto but she still needs to figure things out. Be patient with her . She'll eventually realize that her heart belongs to Naruto(VERY SOON, I believe) but at the moment she's stuck.

I hope you take into consideration of what I said and I didn't type this for nothing .

You know how much bashing I get from the NaruHina/SasuSaku fans when I make a simple statement about how are they real pairings?... A lot...one guy even went so far as to call me the R word just because I wasn't apparently using "current facts" where he failed to give any supporting facts of his own. Now I'll admit not all NaruHina fans are bad, but I just can't stand the SasuSaku fans at all, they've got like only 3 times where Sasuke even show the slightest caring emotion towards Sakura...all the rest was rage and death threats. So while it's against the better person in me to go around bragging... I wouldn't mind rubbing it in a few peoples faces, especially those who feel that Sakura and Naruto aren't a good couple just because she use to beat on him (when was the last time...early Shippuden?) They seriously act like it still goes on.

At another forum I belong to, they have a Naruto thread there...well, lets just say I'm probably the only big NaruSaku shipper over there, everyone else is either indifferent about the romance of Naruto or believe that all other female characters, especially Hinata , are better then Sakura. So a good number of them are NaruHina and SasuSaku fan And hold a common belief that if Naruto can't change who he loves then Sakura can't either :/ (So here is where I'd brag the most)

Bashing of Sakura or my pairing pisses me the hell off too and I have more than one occasion lost my temper over their infuriating words(Example on Youtube: "I'm not sure who I hate more, Kabuto or Sakura.... Me: ). Try not to let them get to you. I know it's hard but try. The fact that they get so angry just goes to show that your right and they know it . SasuSaku AND NaruHina got nothing on NaruSaku and deep down they know this or are simply in denial. SasuSaku fan on Youtube: "If NaruHina and SasuSaku don't happen, it will be the biggest troll EVER." Me: . I called them out on it and stated that they would be the trolls if they happened and the SasuSaku shipper said "I don't get you...how is it a troll...I have hope lol"(Again me: except even harder . I stated why and they have yet to respond to me. The point of me sharing this with you is because we both know how illogical and unlikely NaruHina and SasuSaku are. Now matter how much their comments annoy us, we'll have the satisfaction of knowing that were right and there wrong.

And just like you, when NaruSaku becomes canon, I will have great satisfaction at bragging to those fanbases and seeing there rage fits online . It will greatly amuse me after all the bashing we suffered over the years. I feel payback is neccessary one everything's said and done .

I've never gotten mad at bashers...I laugh off what they say to me. If I do get angry...it's to a post that I never reply to. It as all of us here know, the NH and SS fans need to pull at their own twisted logic to possibly make reason to why their pairings will succeed. One thing I've noticed...I still see more NH and SS fan art then I do NS fan art and I belong to 4 NaruSaku groups on deviantART, that's what really pisses me off XD

On that note, I don't know if I'll truly brag, maybe I'll just say I've always knew what was coming, of coarse, all will probably hear is Kishimoto is a horrible writer and that Naruto and Hinata were destined from the beginning
