I would just say whatever kishi does, while we shouldn't always get our hopes up, you shouldn't be putting all hope down either.
I mean again, long as that development is still around, even if there is a cover page with sakura not exactly with naruto that isnt fullright hinting everything we dread.
I mean its just well some people may be looking too deep or getting too overreactive to this stuff. I mean today just to me felt like a defusing tension chapter for the perspective of our fandom anyways, nothing left to worry about for now, things are still in our favor, nothing to make an issue out of, I mean Hinata is gone for who knows how long and Sasuke is still his arrogant kitten self, that whole moment last chapter, it was just a neutral moment if you ask me.
If you ask me, even as far as anything else may seem like Sakuras events don't get carried as much as they should she may still be clinging on Sasuke, I still say its not exactly hinting SS in the right way now is it? Its still just a fact if Kishi is intent on NH and SS he seriously did a terrible job at it and its just not good if this is how he chose to present it. When you look at it like that and still think perhaps this NS stuff isn't going to come in the end, its just going to be SS and NH weak and conveniently, I just look to say, this doesn't exactly add up now does it? Despite the presentation, its such a paradox when you see blatent hints and development for NS but not much for NH mainly due to infrequentness and SS just being well, a mess, its to me at this point, well just look at the past, it just doesn't make much sense for kishi, even in his limits to just shove everything NS based to the side and just on the other hand just throw NH and SS together like in 5 chapters. Its a dual negative impact by just up heaving so much development, not bringing it into the full form and the other is just using something else so underwhelming and made otherwise for the sake of some plot event that was not even presented in the right way, thats the type of deal many seem to imagine now.
I know kishi has given us reason to question his writing a lot, but even this isn't likely to go down because this is literally what it would be if he really did go this path. I know he left us some logic questions but even he isn't this bad, I mean even though it seems like Sakura is not as active with naruto as she should be to some people well theres no rush to things now is there, I mean we still otherwise have a good idea of what can come ahead just due to the 631 and 663 events, not like anything major exactly happened for the other 2 to this date now did they? No.
NS is still fine but everyone has their deals for remaining skeptical. I just feel that though some question kishis writing and its been bad at some points, its not that bad to the point its even worse now, I mean he averted a SS event, doesn't that maybe count for something? Its not trolling, its just his intent. If he knows not to give Sasuke anything love related suddenly then well, he just stuck on his own track and kept Sasuke in character, we could say the same for 615 with naruto not going all up into hinatas arms, looking at it like this, you see it makes sense and remember he has this stuff planned out weeks ahead, its only sudden to us, he knows what will happen 10 weeks from now. Its just fandoms feeling uneasy, thats all it is.
But if you ask me, its again, its fine, nothing changed the NS events of the past or the development, nothing has occurred for NH and SS that made them overtake it, even as kishis writing has gone recently, its still like this, nothing happened from the event last week and its not going to come back. Kishi isn't the best writer but he certainly isnt the worst either and some people act like he purposely does this, but he isn't messing or causing purposely chaos on the pairings, he is just writing as he sees fit and out of all the stuff that has happened so far, going years back, isn''t it odd that NS still remains in the lead and the most likely too occur?
Yeah I think that makes sense when you see it like that because if he was intent on NH and SS, they wouldnt be shown or intended this poorly while NS got the most development and even hints (parallelism even) to be given notion of a possiblity then just suddenly not occuring.
I don't believe this will happen, I believe Kishi is more or less hinting NS and its very likely he will bring it but also that his writing isnt at the point where the story just buckles in on itself from deals to characters or plot events. NS is fine and still in the lead, NH remains behind, SS is still negative, one event doesn't erase everything and this past chapter last week certainly didn't make any difference or address anything as SS fans wished. Some people feel uneasy or just go to kishi being a failure and untrustworthy. I just say, its not as bad as they think especially when we still have a clear lead. We are fine and nothing has since changed that stuff since 663 nor the other small moments. I mean didn't obito last chapter say to sakura that she does what she did because she wanted to help naruto? I find it funny how this not being a NS moment still had more powerful context in relation to 655 from what kakashi told obito and how obito did this to sakura. This oddly enough had more context due to being based off that past 655 event while everyone else paid attention to the SS event which amounted to nothing.
So yeah, NS is fine, some people in our fandom just too worried, I say we are good as ever even as these other recent chapters this summer occurred, yeah stuff is still good for us. Kishi's writing is not the best and it is flawed in some deals but the fact there are still plenty of development to go and hints for NS, I think that's proof enough that NS is the most likely to occur and otherwise he is possibly intending for it to happen.
