Just wait until Hoku considers starting up the VoH. Ash'll be worse.

I got a series of reviews on SoF today - it was from a NaruHina fan! I was expecting him/her to start swearing at around Chapter 5, but the reviews weren't bad at all. He did get me thinking, it's a bit weird how Hinata is quite absent so far considering she would want to know how Naruto's doing. I don't want to be accused of the same thing that NaruHinas/SasuSakus do - namely leaving the "love rival" out on purpose. And I want Hinata to have some cool moments!

Plus, it would be cool to rope in quite a few NaruHinas and try to show them NaruSaku isn't a bad pairing at all.

Gah, so many characters, so little space to fit them in.

*barfs (damn!)*
That's so awesome, Smiter-san! There really are cool N***H*** fans out there! Kudos to that guy, whoever he is!
I'm all for the subliminal advertising! Do it!! It would be so cool to covert some people through the art of writing. ^^

Awwww... the word filters didn't work! I wonder why... *makes mental note to try and fix them*

But, yeah, it was very nice to meet a NH fan who doesn't scream blue murder at any NaruSaku moments. I'm going to have Hinata show up very soon, since Naruto is now out of hospital. She was always going to show in a couple of chapters' time, but I thought it would be a good time to have her stroll by since she is a nice character (when she's not being too mousy).

And I'll try.

Oh, and there are a couple of new NaruSakus on FF.net as well! It looks like a few more people are beginning to write them...

*can't wait for the Return To Konoha in the manga*

[Soritia]

Wah! I can't keep up with this tidal wave of NaruSaku love! We need to make a list of them all...
*can't wait for the next chapter either :3 *

[Soritia]

Yes we need all the NaruSaku love we can get!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Agreed. Seeing as how much hate we get.

[Smiter]

Yeah, I noticed that about Lee's feelings as well. In fact, Tenten's reaction seems to point at it not being the first time it has happened!

I'm guessing that Lee just tends to be very direct with girls he likes the look of - just a "side effect" of him taking after Gai.

But of course, I agree that he and Sakura will become good friends. If he didn't hold any grudges for Naruto beating Neji and Gaara (not sure if he heard about the fight or not), then I don't see him bearing any against Naruto for earning Sakura's love.

And I also want to see them having a rivalry! XD You can even see Lee trying to outdo Naruto (and failing) at ramen eating. (I think it's spelt Janken)

One thing I really like about NaruSaku is that Naruto doesn't see Sakura as a winning. He loves her for who she really is, and is willing to do anything to keep her happy and safe.

I guess that the NH and SS don't like us because we clash with their pairings. They compliment each other so they get on, but we're a "threat" to both their pairings.

[Soritia]

You know something N***H*** and SasuSakuer's never really explain WHY they hate us you know? They either usually just hate Sakura or they hate Naruto.

Also I noticed something when watching the anime and going back through the manga.

Didn't Lee say that Sakura was popular and THEN preceeded to hit on her? Doesn't that remnd you of the normal high school situation where the unpopular nerd of the class falls for the most popular girl?

On top of that didn't Lee falling for Sakura seem just a little too sudden? After all Lee's an upperclassman. How would he know who Sakura is? On top of that you have to wonder if Lee just wants to be with Sakura because she's the perfect trophy girlfriend or something. He sure tends to think of her as somehting he has to win.

Now Lee's a good guy I know that and I know he wouldn't ever use anybody but when I think about it. Lee's feelings seem to be too artificial to be real. I just see them ending up to be good friends and heck even by that I think Lee would be happy. I bet he'd hold no grudges if Naruto did get with Sakura. In fact he would be happy for them both.

And then he'd challenge his favorite rival to a game of Jaken (sp?)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I think Lee would understand too. I think he'd be happy for them, I mean he's not completely obsessed with Sakura. He'd prolly pull an "I'm happy because you're happy" thing. Besides, he respects Naruto... I think he respects Naruto more than he respects Sasuke.

[Godai52]

I agree that Lee is tha first one to respect Naruto for his skills. It's something normal since HE was the previous so called 'dead-last' and look where it took him in the end! :rocklee: He is the strongest one of the rookie 9 in taijutsu, the fact that Neji has the Byakugan gives him something of an unfair advantage.

When you think about it, the title of strongest of the 9, along with Gai's team, is fought between Sasuke, Neji and Naruto. Chouji is extremely strong (or was if he died) but his strenght is not recognised. Shino would be a contestant but he's not really into rivalries it would appear.

Even if you count him something strikes us when you look at it: Naruto is the only one without a bloodline limit! Give him the Sharingan and you'd get a super genius (or another arrogant @$$)

[Soritia]

I think that a fight between Neji and Lee would end in a tie. Neji's biggest asset as a Byakugan user is that he shuts off chakra valves, but Lee doesn't use those anyway.

I don't think there is a strongest of them all. I think that they all have various skills that allow each of them to succeed in different situations. It's almost like determining what art is good; there's no clear answer.

[Smiter]

Yeah, that's why I think Naruto and Lee are really incredible.

Sure, Naruto has a demon in his own belly, but it can be more of a curse than a benefit. He continues to work very hard to learn and perfect jutsus - he's not always bright but he has a hell of a workrate.

Same goes for Lee (minus the demon part of course). He can't do nin/genjutsus, but he has worked extremely hard to perfect his taijutsu.

Neji is very cool as well, his Byakugan is a strong ability but you know he mastered Jyuuken with no/very little help. He even taught himself Kaiten and Hakke 64 Hands - two high level Head Family techniques. He still trained very hard and I respect that.

Sasuke used to be cool, but it is too easy for him to just pick up and copy things with no real effort. The only things we've seen him work really hard on were chakra control and the Chidori. That's not counting all that practice he did before he awoke the Sharingan.

Naruto was partly right when he called Sasuke's victory over that chakra-sucking guy in the Chuunin exam "a lame way to win". I mean, he copied and imitated Lee's taijutsu - something that the green beast spent YEARS of hard training on. Sasuke used it as if it was nothing.

[Blayze]

The whole point of Naruto and Lee gaining their techniques is that unlike Sasgay the Jutsu Thief, their skills are mastered through blood and sweat, not just a cursory scanning of the person you're stealing from.

That's the whole 'Hard work beats genius' thing coming back at us, although (As I think Gai said) they are geniuses of hard work
