What do you mean? I'm stating a fact. He has never trolled NS before. I am sure because I am reading the manga.

Well there was the whole confession thing for a while before he came out stating he was trying to make Sakura sound honest...

The fans misunderstood Kishi's intention.

He has never purposely mislead fans to believe in NS.

Even so, there were a few doubts at first

2 days to go please don't troll kishi

I fairly believe we're going to see some inner monologue on Sakura regarding Minato's appearance and Naruto calling him 'dad' and all those things.It's the most logical follow-up that I see.

I'm still wondering if Kishi really did omit Naruto's reaction to Sakura's speech on purpose. Could it really be that he wants to keep the fans guessing as to whether Naruto still has romantic feelings for her? I'm not sure want to believe at this point.

But even if he just made some sly smile it shouldn't really be an indicator of anything. I guess I as well miss those moments when Naruto admires Sakura. It's stuff like Naruto not reacting to Sakura that reinforces the believe that Kishi really did sweep Naruto's feelings for her under the rug, so I understand why some are desperate to see Naruto react to her in a significant way. I do too.

I think Kishi did it so ALL the focus was on Sakura. If you read the scene the camera really doesn't pivot from her at all until a reaction shot from the Alliance. When it's animated I see it turning into a really badass Sakura moment where 100% of the focus is on her with some heroic music etc etc.

Yes he did, 540 shows this.
The troll is when we think she doesnt love Sasuke anymore, suddenly she still has feelings for him.

As a former hardcore/current lukewarm SS fan... *deflects flames*

This is arguably a HUGE SS tease as well. I remember thinking it was going to go much better than Sasuke turning into a homocial maniac.

I'm pretty sure this just blew for all parties involved lol.

This^ Right now Kishi wants to make the fans think Sakura still has feelings for Sasuke and also he wants to make them think Naruto's feelings for Sakura have changed and he might have some feelings for Hinata. I think he's doing this to surprise the audience in the future with a huge move that will show that Naruto and Sakura love each other very much. I know this must be it because as I mentioned before remember when he played that trick on the Obito/Madara theory. Remember how many fans believe Tobi was Obito because it was very obvious but Kishi tricked the fans making them think he was really Madara and those fans eventually fell for it, in the end he tricked everyone when he revealed it was Obito all along.

Well i think he's doing a bad job with Naruto, becasue i would surely drop shipping NS if he did that with Naruto, i dont see that on this way.
I dont see him making he has feelings for Hinata, or even to mislead them like he did with Sakura.
Naruto never had any kind of conflict but it's comepletely the opposite more and more he enforced Naruto's love even after the Pain's arc showed that it was really a big deal not just a kind of childish crush.

Well, only two days to see where the direction Kishi will take. I don't know exactly what he's going to do here, but the very least, we will get Naruto/Minato interaction as well as Sakura hearing the whole thing, unless she was told to cover her ears ( ).

As for the whole 540, well it's like I said, it's the first time that her love got questioned, so something must be setting up; it's the same for Ino, so I don't know. 540 has two directions and you can say Karin went to "I'm staying" choice, while Ino went to "I'm leaving" choice. So what does that leave to Sakura? She's in the middle of the coin and eventually, it's going to end up in one side. However, Karin don't really have 2 directions to go as in someone else that can make her happy. Yes, she can choose being solo, but she's like Juvia of the series. Sakura does have 2 directions, but again no one point her the other direction. I noticed that a lot of series usually have the character being told that the other character loves him/her, but don't tell that character if he/she feels the same. For whatever reason, when they do get asked about their feelings, he/she ends up loving the other character after all. So yeah, Naruto (character) got to do something to hint that and it could leave her feeling "odd".

well, in next chapter Sasuke could appears.... Since the preeview from WSJ is "In front of naruto n co facing the continual uphill battle, that man finally (arrives)!!"

Well that or is like a bit "last time..." So it could be Minato or Sasuke. Personally, let's get this Sasuke out of the way now. I want to end all and it will be damaging because Naruto is there and Sakura continues to be on his side. That's why other fans don't want him to show up on bad time to diminish the possible SS moment. So color me strange, but I want Sasuke to be there now. Though that would be strange that he didn't get a special cliffhanger ending like Minato, if it's him that is.

oh Sasuke will get a clifhanger ending in some next chapter for sure. Well, let see where Kishi will drive at... I hope the big moment from Minato won't be ruined from the arrival of others kages. Since Minato didn't have a great role during the meeting between edo hokages and Sasuke. And i predict that, since Minato's here, Kakashi and Obito will come back from the other dimension... Remember, the true role about Minato being there is, apart from having the possibility to see his son grown up, discovering the true identity of the masked man.

I have a question for you, are you afraid with sasuke coming?

[soraandven]

We must prepare for the worst and keep our expectation low so when get troll it will not that hurt.
Oh btw happy birthday for you ^o^

[soraandven]

if kishi delivers what i expect nh fans will rage like they did last week and man that would be a good bday present

Not really-to-no. If it happens now, no, because a lot of things can be toned down a lot due to the situation, especially the whole "Sakura leaves Naruto for him". She already vowed to heal Naruto completely and we don't know how long that would take, especially Kuruma's recovery. Plus, Sasuke will make it more to Naruto, hence why fans think it sucks that Sasuke didn't do the rescue to manipulate the system. If it happens elsewhere, not really, because she needs this closure with him or at least understanding where she truly stands, especially now that Karin is back, it's really asking for no pairing for her if she continues to pursue. The reason why I want to get out of the way now is to make the whole moment seems consistent and timed nicely. It's the 4th chapter of the arc and imagine, she gets many developments in this volume and conclude nicely with Naruto. That will speak a lot of volumes.

So yeah, I am not afraid of Sasuke.

@narusaku4life
Yes I agree, kishi need to stop this love triangle status quo, it hurt his characters and make us uneasy about this situation.
