Gaara and the Raikage carrying Tsunade to the battlefield:



Amazing art by Slextrem.

LMAO! Beautiful! I love her expression here.

[luffyq1]

Honestly, I want to see dat NS moment after the war. Tsunade may have a hand in it.

I absolutely despise the idea of NS getting a push. I'm just going to reiterate what I said on NF:

They don't need outside parties meddling in their relationship. They don't need Sai or Yamato or anyone for that matter pushing them together. I'm sure Sakura would come to realize her feelings for Naruto on her own, whether she truly loves him or not. Hopefully from here on out, Sakura will be a big girl and realize who is the right guy for her on her own. Naruto or Sasuke?

I agree, while I can see someone giving them a push, I would rather her figure it out on her own, it would be more genuine IMO if she is the one to finally realize on her own that she loves naruto.

Bolded, I can see that happening. I always imagined when Karin will be back, she'll slap his face off. But something tells me that this doesn't happen with Sasuke He's so

She'd better do something, and I don't think she's gonna hold back her anger when/if they meet again. I hope she doesn't because what Sasuke did to her was pretty jacked up, and imagine what Suigetsu and Juugo would think/do if they found out about it. I want to see their response to this. Would they still trust him as much or as little as they do now?

Ah...drill imagery.

[Living Lavish]

That has not been proven yet, as much as I want that to be a reason why she was shocked you can't go calling it a fact if its not proven yet

What do you call her reaction in the Pain arc then? she looked pretty upset when she said ''..Hinata loves Naruto..'' Thats how everybody took it Now its happend again with a close ups shot of her face... we haven't seen her since then. Kishi didn't have to show this regardess but he did, its clear what the intention is here. a lot after 615 noticed this as well. so im not the only one.

P.S. I said its a fact shes been in pain about not doing enough for Naruto witch is true.

I know that she said that during the pain arc, but this time around without a proper thought in a panel as well we can't say for sure this panel meant the same thing, not saying it doesn't just saying until its proven we won't know.

Also I must have read wrong then, I thought you meant the panel on 615 was a fact of sakura being pained by not being able to help him like hinata was, my bad

I think the essence of the anger here is the fear that Sakura will just remain in the background until the battle is over. This might not be the final fight, but it's the fight with the fate of the world at stake so given that Sakura is basically Naruto's closest friend, plus the fact that she herself said they were going to fight together it makes the most sense for her to be along side Naruto in this monumental fight.

The fight with Sasuke will be something that Naruto does alone, this is the only fight that where they can fight together against adversity, so it would be a huge disappointment for Kishi to leave Sakura out just like that. And that's why I believe that she will appear sooner or later. If the battle ends and she doesn't make anything important then I won't know what to think of Kishimoto anymore. It would be the hugest betrayal he could possibly give to Sakura, and that's why I can't believe he would actually dare to do something like that.

Kishimoto spent so much time building up Naruto and Sakura's bond. The reason she chose to become Tsunade's apprentice was because she wanted to be helpful to Naruto. If Sakura can't at least be of some direct assistance in this deciding fight then Kishi would truly be spitting in Sakura's face.

On one hand it worries me that Kishi is simply looking for an excuse to not use Sakura, which is why he suddenly made Tsunade state that a medical ninja can't be in the front lines. But on the other hand I can't believe that Kishi would be that disrespectful to his heroine. Sakura's whole aspiration for which she endured the rough training of one of the Sannin was for the sake of being able to help Naruto, but if she doesn't get involved in this fight it would be like saying that Sakura's aspirations were not really important in the first place.

Sakura didn't train for nearly three years just to have her climax at healing people in the background. Which is why I'll hold to be believe that she will indeed have a big role, if she doesn't then Kishi has utterly failed as a writer.

I also refuse to believe that her big moment can only come when Sasuke appears. I mean, what exactly would she do? Sasuke is Naruto's opponent. Her big moment will be to fight someone from Taka? As interesting as that can sound I would feel so disappointed that Kishi would purposely leave her out of the fight with the Juubi (destroyer of worlds) just for that. Not to mention that she said she would fight together with Naruto along side everyone. I don't know about any of you but I refuse to accept the concept that fighting together simply means healing in the background.

Maybe Kishi just used Sakura in 573 to emphasize how all of the army was going to help him, but if that was the case then why on earth mention how she as an individual would be together with him. Wouldn't it had made more sense if she said "Naruto, don't worry, I'll heal anyone in trouble with my medical jutsu. I'll make sure the whole army fights together with you". Sakura's role in the background would make more sense that way.

It would all just be stupid if Sakura doesn't fight this time. She trains for years in order to help Naruto, but it culminates in her being on the background and not being relevant to Naruto in any way. The reason I believe Sakura will fight is because I can't possibly believe Kishi would be that monumentally stupid and inconsiderate with his own heroine.

[Living Lavish]

I know that she said that during the pain arc, but this time around without a proper thought in a panel as well we can't say for sure this panel meant the same thing, not saying it doesn't just saying until its proven we won't know.

There was no other reason to randomly show that panel of only Sakura during the speech with that expression. Every panel like that means something. plus we know Sakuras confused feelings and history with Naruto and how close they really are.

EDIT: But it is reasonable to assume 615 was a fact of sakura being pained by not being able to help him like hinata was, yes since we seen this before.

I couldn't find him anywhere, seems sakura and sai are missing, which is wierd if people think sakura is not shown because she is in the background healing people then what about sai, hes not medic :O
this is why I think they are either part of a plan, or they both left somewhere (to the kages? no idea) but yeah something is definitely up.

I never said that. :v I agree with you. I don't want anyone to tell Sakura who she loves, and I would only facepalm if Tsunade's last words is a love advice.
I just said that they will comfort eachother when they find out. Heck, if Naruto and Hinata got closer after Neji's death, how much closer will Naruto and Sakura become?

[kirabook]

I fear the possibility of NS becoming canon at a time when it's less believable. That's about it.

@slextrem LOL amazing pic is amazing, could you imagine them really carrying her cut in half body into the middle of the battle field lol

That was proved, and moreover her reaction seems to me that she was wavering after she heared about Neji's death.

Pretty shallow that it took a death to even allow Naruto and Hinata to get closer

This reminds me of find Wally. XD
Anyone?

^Yes. Even if it's true, it would be wrong if Kishi were portraying bonds like that. Like they need to experience a tradegy together, and become soulmates and name their kid Neji. Fortunately, that is not the base of Naruto and Sakura's bond.

Chapter was decent and dissapointing at the same time.
