Guys, I heard from someone that they were in the dentist, and they picked up a Naruto magazine, (or something with Naruto in it...) and it said that Kishi said that Sakuras confession was genuine, but Naruto misunderstood it? Does anyone know if this is true?

Yep, I think there was a thread back in this sub-forum that was something about Sakura being honest about it but it was really mistimed and, imo, kinda did seem like Sakura was really doing a horrible job of selling it. Just another thing, they need to clear up on in their next conversation, whenever that may come.

Umm, I hope you mean "at the dentist".

I'm not sure if there was another interview, but after her confession appeared in the manga, he made a comment in an interview about her being an "honest but surprisingly determined girl". So he didn't really outright say it, but it seems to be the implication, considering how it wouldn't make sense to call her 'honest' if she just outright lied to the hero. But again, I'm not sure if there's other interviews where he's discussed that scene.

Also, what dentist offices have Naruto magazines? The only thing I ever have to read is Highlights for Children and three-year-old copies of Newsweek.

Maybe it was in Japan? (in Japan they might have those at the dentists XD)

And I hope Naruto and Sakura could talk about this (maybe in the 4th war arc)

[Phantom_999]

If they didn't we're not getting anywhere don't you think? Naruto will just do his business without ever resolving their relationship which is sad and even sadder if it only happens if Sasuke dies then they talk about it after. It just seems like a second pick scenario which isn't true but we knows others will see it that way and probably will bash Kishimoto or SOMEONE

Honestly, I don't think Kishimoto will ever write it so that Naruto and Sakura have an actual conversation about the topic. It's not Naruto's style to bring up something like this and I don't see Kishimoto spending time on it. However, I do see some romantic or cute way for Kishimoto to bring about both their feelings where they just skip over the conversation about the initial confession. This to me is much more realistic and likely for Kishimoto.

Ahh you are right XD This would probably happen after they face Sasuke or something

[Anguyen92]

Honestly, I am getting a little testy here with the lack of narusaku moments here. I know there's a war and all, but how Kishi could not just clear all the loose ends off and just get the pairings wars out of the way before the war began?

Btw, I'm one away from 500, how should I use it?

You have to remember that this Manga is for action and adventure. Romance is only a side thing, and just be patient NS moments are sure to come I just know it.

[Darth Krypt]

Exactly. Honestly I don't think Kishi is focusing on the romance part too much. Right now the priority is how to solve this Madara and Sasuke problem. Pairings are second priority but rest assured, I don't think its neglected.

So how does everyone think Naruto's and Sakura's meeting is going to turn out?

[Anguyen92]

^^ Well, I assume its going to be very surprising, then Sakura would be very angry at Naruto for participating in the war, which will lead Naruto to reassure that everything is going to be all right, probably a hug, and then they move on to either Sasuke or Madara. Hold on, let me copy and paste, from the thread of Toasty's challenge.

All right, here it is and I quote

"Naruto would probably show up out of nowhere and Sakura would question on why he is here. Naruto would give his reasons. Sakura would then say its too dangerous and is concern for his well-being. Then, Naruto would say that he's going to be all right and probably be very overconfident and stubborn as he is, which leads Sakura to do what she does best to bring him back to Earth.

Then afterwards, they would have a few more words and eventually after putting up a good fight with words, Sakura would eventually give up and just support and have Naruto's back and both of them would hug it out and we'll see where that will take us. "

Yep, that's what I think that it should go.

I also think it is true about sasuke being in the way of NS. Naruto couldn't even accept Sakura's confession because he thought she was still in love with him. Plus Naruto just doesn't want to forget that promise he made to Sakura. It's gotten to the point were saving sasuke is not for the promise anymore. However i would say that Sasuke may have also helped Narusaku become what it is. I mean, because Sasuke left and Naruto made that promise Sakura had complete trust in him. Sure he failed but he tried so hard and sakura even promised that they would try together. Then it became a burden and we all know how that went . Anyways lots of NS moments came out of sasuke being evil, and even him being the one that sakura used to love

About Naruto and Sakura meeting up again, i think it will end up like Anguyen said (don't know about the hug), but when he leaves the camp Sakura remembers what the lover-nin said. So as he is jumping away she does that sweet smile of hers and says "Yeah....he really is a great guy."

[Dreamer]

On a side note, I don't know how many people watch/watched the English dub, but Sasuke and Temari's VA's (Yuri Lowenthal and Tara Platt) are actually married in real life. Sort of random, I know.

If that happens, which I think will, I would go to all the other Naruto forums and read the reactions of NH fans.

Oh man, this. To be honest, this seems exactly like something Kishi would do. Not only would it give a reason for Kishi to introduce that lover-nin in the first place, but it would fit his style somewhat, being subtle yet cyclical (with Sakura's smile). I mean, as much I'd love another love confession, I don't think that sort of thing is Kishi's strongsuit. It just feels awkward to me when he tries to make romance the center-point of the plot amidst heavy action. Though maybe he'll suddenly get better at it, and have Naruto finally confess his feelings right before the Sasuke fight.

Also, if that confession does happen, I wonder how it'll go. I hope it's pretty original, it'd feel random if Naruto suddenly became a romantic. I'm thinking something like:

Naruto: Heh heh, Sakura-chan, the way I feel about you...well...I imagine it's the same way that ramen noodles feel about the broth...or something like that...
Sakura: What the hell are you talking about?
Naruto: Well, what I'm trying to say is...*gulp*...
(looks her straight in the eyes)
Naruto: I love you more than ramen, Sakura-chan!
Sakura: *gasp*

Though I suppose I wouldn't mind a cliche confession either, if Kishi can pull it off alright.

Hee hee, they might be crackships, but I think I just found a terrible yet hilarious reason to ship characters together. Ah, the possibilities...

^^ You know, the one thing I would love most in their conversations is to have that playful banter that they always have. They seemed to have this occasional routine, where Naruto have his goofiness and Sakura with her keeping in control with him and probably play along with him to set something up. So, I wouldn't mind if his confession to Sakura would actually have that kind of atmosphere.

I mean take Sakura's confession, for instance. I know it was a serious moment at that time, but if felt forced and it did not seem like Sakura was herself when she told him that. I would prefer that these confessions would not be so sudden and that they would just said and do what comes naturally with each other.

And as a good reference, I shall take a chapter from Miss Soupy's twelve days of Christmas fic.

Chapter 12. I think this statement says is best

"As the two grinned at each other, they knew once and for all. There had been no romantic final declaration of love, but instead they had eased into it like they had anything else they did."

So yes, I, too, would not prefer a cliche confession.

Btw, if what I said does not make sense, then you can disregard that then.

given general shonen tendancies the most likely next step for the two is a confrontation before the big final battles. In which the two dont quite confess so much as acknowledge each others feelings and acknowledge some of the diffuclties theyve faced together and are still facing, maybe even clear the air abit about past mistakes and the like.

This ends with a goodbye and heads to the main confrontation. with some tearful recollections on the part of the parties involved.

The final acknowledgment usually comes at the end and not always in a direct way, sometimes it can come round about--such as the ramen analogy used above-- and sometimes it can come straight out--kiss and hug etc--and be direct.

As soupy has said earlier and I do agree, the main thing that needs to occur will be the two of them confronting each other directly without the benefit of third party involvement.

[DBD10297]

^^ Ehhh, don't worry about the opposition fans' reaction, if they ever come here and try to abuse us with the gloating, they are going to get banned, though, they might not care and never come here again just to prove a point.

Though, if Kishi knew that Sasusaku is the most popular het pairing in Japan, wouldn't he, I don't know, just try to actually build up better interactions between them and just make them canon already, like around the eariler chapters?

I don't think Kishi is making a pairing canon just because of popular reaction. He's got the final canon pairing already locked up since the start of this. It may be narusaku or it may be not, but I'm certain that the people's influence has nothing to do with his decision.

Yeah plus that if he made SasuSaku canon, a lot of crap would need to happen, and it would also completely destroy and insult Sakura's character development, making her sound like the same Sasuke Uchiha fangirl she was in part 1. Not to mention how terrible it would be to watch Naruto fall apart in sadness as he watched her and Sasuke have kids and get married etc. That's one of the many reasons that SasuSaku will probably (like 99.99%) not happen.

[Anguyen92]

^^ That would suck seeing Naruto sad, watching the love of his life with the one he does not want her to be with. But, in his mind, as long as she's happy, then he's happy, because he can't bear to see her sad.

Which marks this question, if by any chance, sasusaku is canon, would Sakura be happy about it? I mean her 12-year-old self would, by at 16 and seeing a lot of things take their place, she has to, at this point, see things differently. I mean, does she still envision a happy team 7 ending? Yes. Does she envision her being in a relationship and have a family with Sasuke? There's a high percent chance that its not the case.
