Kishimoto would team up with Satan for sure.

[KnS]

However I told myself "It sounds weird, but wait and see. Maybe things will eventually make sense." And I persevered.

 

I was a fool.

 

Looking back, after the first Part II arcs, all of it has been a looooong string of asspulls. Nonetheless I carried on because I am a NS fan and I wanted at least seeing Naruto and Sakura getting together.

 

And it has been denied me.

 

Ugh.  I could have written this same sentiment.  I feel like such an idiot for defending Kishimoto, and persisting with the notion that he would make good on letting his hero reach his goals -- make good on NS -- even if he failed to make sense of so many other things.  

 

It may not help at all, but you're truly not alone in your feelings.

Of course. After all it is only a fictional pairing of a ficional series. I shall move on. But it will take a while.

 

Yes.  And I'm not concerned with the people who think it's stupid to care about fictional characters.  It only means they didn't connect with the material in a personal way, in a way that perhaps echoed or touched upon their real life.  Neither reaction is right or wrong, just different.

I won't lie. I was one of those people. I was relentless in my criticism because I genuinely though he was writing crap.

 

I also feel completely vindicated by what happened here.resolve anything of substance. It's over because it is, but not of the issues he raised were resolved. No one's feelings were resolved on screen. Sakura turning him down would have been superior because at least then it is a resolution. At least he has to provide an answer. That a movie is needed to fill in a gap this large is a joke. Kaguya's lack of substance.

 

Kishimoto has had an ugly history of steadfastly refusing to provide answers to the issues he introduces over and over. I suppose it's fitting he does a massive f**k you to his entire in the course of resolving nothing. 

 

So Obito gets to be with the love of his life after all he did and Naurto fails in that endevour. The shift could have been tolerable had it been shown and justified, but nothing. It just was. It is insulting that Obito succeeds where Naruto fails.

 

Maybe you should be my senpai going forward?  Anything I want to read or follow, have you read it first...?  Your instincts were better than mine on this, for reals.

 

And OMG yes to your last sentence.  Obito winning after everything he did is just flat out sickening.  But it's the same with Sasuke.  And Naruto lost.

Just making something clear so people don't think I'm mindlessly destroying things others could use --- 

 

I'm giving away / selling a lot of my merch.

 

I'm just scrapping the already time worn volumes and merch that is worth literally nothing now, that I can't sell.

That's exactly what I was thinking! When I saw Obito and Rin get together, I was really, really wondering. What about NaruSaku? It's a shame... :/

Yes, mad mass-murderer Obito has to be with his life's love forever, whereas that the guy who stopped him can not be with his and has to get over it. Meanwhile Hinata and Sakura have what they want: Hinata got married to a deadbeat dad that thought that her cousin's murderer was a cool guy, and Sakura got married to the person who ignored her, insulted her, abused her, tried to kill her several times and neglects her and their daughter in favour of wandering over the country.

 

Have I mentioned that NARUTO is a deadbeat dad? Then again, he thought that his parents' murderer was a cool guy, so maybe he thinks that is proper parenting.

 

You know... the more that I think about it, the more that I think that Kishimoto was trolling his own characters.

[Fenris]

I'm very sick so I'll have to commence the burning when I feel better....

 

Should like 2 days. Bare with me guys.
