That is what I've been seeing too , unfortunately the hate roams our( western side ) of the fandom. People are stuck on part 1 Sakura and fail to see her development ever growing from chapter 3. Others watch the anime which is filled with filler scenes from most of them make Sakura look like a total ... or most people interpret it like this , because they dont know the first thing about tsundre or japanese culture . Sakura is abusive to Naruto she hits him.. So , Naruto is abusive to Konohamaru then? He hit him more than 4-5 times for being an idiot or just being in his way . What does that make Naruto? Yep, an abusive bas... No , just no.. And there comes the selective reading , boy i loathe this more than anything its only usage is when you are doing a test of biology why dont you then you have to read the most important information indeed , because you have time limit , but then again you are reading this Manga out of enjoyment ,right? So basically you have a lot of time.
How are you suppose to agree with those ''arguments'' they rather make no freaking sense or just are illogical to begin with or they downplay ns moments calling them a joke , because maybe they wanted it to be , but too bad for them its only wishful thinking . I think some people enjoy pissing us off , but why , its still alludes me ..
469 , i have been thinking about it lately and came up with the idea that Kishimoto tried to express and give to us the readers .. Its understanding . The understanding of the other person's pain and also lifting the curtain of self misleading that some people are great . It brought closeness , it brought selfless love and choice on Sakura's end . Now people believe that Naruto rejected her , which is more than dumb , because if the narrative or the verbiage doesn't tell you , how are they to tell that its the opposite?
The whole '' I hate/don't like/can't stand people who are lying to themselfs'' interprets as rejection , that's not rejection folks its disbelieve . Disbelieve that she is over/doesn't care anymore about Sasuke, which was the OBVIOUS lie which people missed then proclaimed NS dead and an opening for nh.....
But did Naruto ever told Sakura I hate you ? Did he say/show any signs of moving on? NO, in fact after his talk with his mom we see him with a big grin facing Sakura saving her from Zetsus and showing off , those little thing are left aside . Some don't know of Kishi's statement or try to ignore it like they always do to everything , which makes me thing , why do they even read his work in the first place ?
If Naruto moves on from Sakura without confessing wouldn't that be a contradictory to his nindo? I mean he said he will confess so he will how can that be avoided ? No clue . I gotta say that is why Hinata slapped him , because he was ready to give up/in when Neji died , so she reminded him his words and his nindo which she adores the most in him . Tell me how will she feel after 631 the ns hug and him giving up and going to her and saying '' I love you , i moved on''? I think it will turn bad and she will reject him , or that is just me ?
Neji didn't die for their bloody ship he died on his own free will , protecting them and freeing himself from the cursed mark showing them that he has changed his opinion towards them and reminding Naruto that he is not the first person who died for him. Then Hinata and mostly Kurama's words did the trick to bring him on his feet filled with confidence and courage to go on.. 615 Hinata was speaking on behalf of the group using familial words like ''I've always believed in you , you have to believe in yourself , you have to WE have to. So , get your crap together and fight '' Which was great , but people turn this into romance which was not the point of the chapter , the point was the support and help which EVERYONE gives to Naruto . That is the problem , misreading/misunderstanding the details and there you have it , we have a great misconception which leads to many conflicts/fights in the fandoms .
There you have it , Sasuke never had more than platonic relation/feeling toward Sakura ,ever. He protected her 1,2 times complimented her genjustu talent even though he made her feel very bad before that. If we think about it , won't it be good , if Sasuke had any say in the matter? What about his feelings , what if he finds someone else attractive or doesn't have any concern in romantical aspect at all ? Why is does it lead to a recoil towards Sakura ? Why are her feelings so important in this relationship , when she cant even state one good reason for them? When was the last time she wanted to be his GF? When did she admit that she still loves him , i mean openly? If we take 540 as a fact then its true love , but if we take 631 and Naruto's words flying out of his mouth are a joke or he was confused ? Someone please explain those questions to me because i am sencierly lost . The selfless and selfish part , now that made me think ; Maybe kishi wrote the manga with that purpose if we think about it the fight between the YounG and the Older sons were about leading with Love and the other with Power and that makes me thing to see the difference in ideals and how people think , diversely from one another . Maybe that is the whole point of the manga , the selfless love to triumph over the selfish ? Dunno , its a long shot .
How can't they ignore them? The merits i mean , he does half of the things in the manga for Sakura , he saved her from Gaara never took credit to tell how he felt , he sucked up every drop of sadness and disappointment in front of the gate of Konoha and made the POAL to Sakura to bring Sasuke back to HER FOR HER , and some people forget that . Yes , he wants to bring Sasuke of himself too but half of it is for Sakura and that is undeniable . SS ships sails so many ears thanks to Naruto , and they forget his feelings or toss them aside just like that? It seems to me that they don't get the massage of the manga at all . That is what disappoints me the most , why forget all the things he did for her , just like that ? I can't find an answer on my own , unfortunately . When she was ready to give up on Sasuke so many times and the most crucial part was the hospital scene when Naruto was injured badly , he inspired her , cheered her up just to see her smiling face again , and guess what ? YEP, she smiled from ear to ear .
And that is the whole point , love is not deserving its something to be EARNED , just like respect .
I'm ashamed too , but it cant be helped , they have to seek knowledge for themselfs , to see what some of us see maybe then we will come to an understanding , of course people will always disagree but when logic and facts are involved even the toughest case can be easy solved and an agreement can be reached , because its logic which help us foresee what will eventually come to be . Sure , we have to fallow our hearts , but that doesn't mean to leave logic and reason behind .. Even though those who've increased knowledge , increased sorrow . We can state our point of view , but its up to them to asunder right from wrong.
631 came and did a great job , it brought the monster hiding under the bed and broke the silence where people were roaming for a long time . They can say w/e they want ,deep down they know whats coming and its not pretty .. I've debated with a nh fan for 7to9 times in which he lost and his final words to me were .'' well , at least we still have Sasuke'' by that he meant that nh won't happen because Naruto loves Sakura , but there is still a bump on the road Sakura's feelings. Well, 635 came along and the inpatience and fear escalated to no describable level . what i am saying and the only thing that is keeping SS at this point somewhat alive is Sakura's ambiguous feelings for him and the leap of faith that Sasuke will fall in love and Sakura will be rewarded for her patient love , which makes no sense since she has feelings for Naruto too and confessed lie or not she did and he seems to believe her . Parallels in this manga a are powerful engine and the fear of them brings denial , that is why kushina=/=sakura and hinata=minato , but then again Naruto's mom told him to find a girl like her ,right? But lets ignore that too .
Then comes my final question when/if NS becomes canon what will the opposite camps do? It wont be pretty though.
. I read that post too and all it shows to me is how selective some people can be with their readings at some point. It's great to see paptala respond to it and voice it out from the narusaku fandom. I know I could never write as well as her or express it the way she does. She is great at that stuff.
