Alway being one of the level headed user is being a while since I read so many stupudity and for nothing because 615 was worst than this plus is a freaking cover the manga will always be the way we want and much of these users need to stop being a drama Queen. This FC is really waek after all others are still tanding but anything is a drama story with NS.I have never been more convinced that some of you are simply addicted to drama. Good grief.
Some -- okay, most -- of this fear, bad faith, hysteria, hand-wringing, melodramatics -- whatever you want to call it -- is based on assumptions you have made yourselves. It reminds me of children who become convinced there is a monster under their bed at night. It is an unfounded, erroneous fear that defies logic, but by recycling the fear in their minds -- over and over -- it becomes real.
Sigh.
Many of you are projecting your presumptions onto Kishimoto: He's a sadistic troll. He doesn't care about his story. He doesn't care that he's making NS look bad compared to other ships. He's regressing Sakura's character. He's reckless. Ad infinitum.
The fact is, we don't know jack squat about Kishimoto or his motives. But by applying logic -- which is underrated, by the way -- what we do know is that Kishimoto's reputation and livelihood are intertwined with this manga. He has spent 15 years of his life on it. It is likely to be the defining achievement of his career, and his legacy. He admits that once it's over he owes his wife a honeymoon and more time with his children because he's been a workaholic who spends his evenings at the studio.
He doesn't care? He's sadistic for the hell of it? He's mindlessly messing around with YOUR pairing?
This past week, the majority of the discussion revolved around concerns that something was going to happen with SS. The HORROR!!! But as many calmer souls predicted (myself included), it was a non-event that Kishimoto glossed over. It appears to have been nothing more than a brief moment of basic decency from Sasuke, wherein he expressed his gratitude to Sakura by choosing -- for once -- not to be an overtly nasty and condescending asshat. He didn't thank her, but he didn't say anything crappy, either. For Sasuke, that's a big-souled moment.
Of course it still failed Naruto's acid test of how he expects Sakura-chan to be treated; Obito too, for that matter. And the only reason for Naruto's confrontational question to be included was to highlight that he's thinking of Sakura, knows Sasuke is a complete tool, and for Kishimoto to skewer anyone who thought Sasuke had changed significantly.
So you got what you wanted. No SS details to mar the progress of NS, plus a moment of Naruto's concern for Sakura (and still calling her Sakura-chan, by the way). Cool.
But wait... No... now it's the OMFG!ColorCoverTRAVESTY!!!!1!1!! Cue for more drama. Sigh.
You know what I saw when I looked at the color cover? I saw a hero in the lead, followed by his two sidekick friends who are equal in terms of his reliance on them for support of his quest for Good, followed by their sensei. I saw Kishimoto summing up the basic plot of the story in a new, Wild West motif.
What I did NOT see is a reason for fear, doubt, and angry denouncements that Kishimoto doesn't care about his story, about Sakura's development, or about NS. Those are fan presumptions not based on fact. Look underneath the underneath does not mean straining to see the monster under the bed. Remember, the target audience for this story is younger boys; it's not going to require charts, maps, a degree in psychology, and encyclopedic knowledge on the history of Japan and ninja culture to understand it.
Kishimoto knows what he's doing with his characters and the pairings. He has a plan and he's working it. There is absolutely no reason to react to every little thing as if it's some kind of conspiracy on his part to destroy your investment in NS. Kishimoto has A LOT more invested in it than you do.
Just my opinion.
It's all good. You could edit your post if you want. I don't want to see support for Sakura-bashers around here.

This again, not every NS fan is a Sakura fan if someone say something you didn't like just ignore them only the mod o a group of users can complaing about character bashing. I like Sakura but this Sakura Godess thing is sometime anoying is just like Kishi favorytsm for Sasuke character.It's all good. You could edit your post if you want. I don't want to see support for Sakura-bashers around here.
Conclusion NS fandom is now bocoming a house of a lot of craying, drama and anguist house.
Bad inglish cannot help it sorry.
Sorry, I know there are people here who like his character, but I'll be happy when he's finally gone. It would have been better if he were to live and face the consequences of all the kitten he's done, but that was never going to happen, so I say good riddance. Now I just hope he won't be able to cheat death again.
Probably even more then @James and I have my reasons for that hate 
basically had the same conclusion Sasuke took all of her fight screen
