That post just makes Kishi's motives so much more clear.

In essence, it's almost like RtN is the manga series in a nutshell.

Yes, that's actually what it is. In fact, Kishi has said that the movie is a great way to introduced the story to newcomers. If that's the case, then does that mean we should hope for Naruto and Sakura become lovers? Looks that way according to millions.

Yeah, it's like Kishi's summing up Naruto and Sakura's relationship in one movie. happy.gif : D

Yeah, that "Sasuke-kun would understand me" comment from Sakura was so shocking, I remember all of us thought it was never said at first. That it was just SS trolling. That was definitely OOC for her, there's no way she would say something like that to Naruto, even if she was angry. I was so mad at her for saying that to him, that's just such a low blow to Naruto, it was like she was intentionally taunting one of his sore spots. Tbh, I'm not surprised Naruto was going to up and leave her afterwards, that was way out of line, especially given his feelings for her.

I kind of wonder if Sakura actually believed what she was saying or was just purposely doing so because she wasn't thinking before she said it. Either way, at least she matured, saw the illusion that is Sasuke, and started acting really selfless with Naruto again. happy.gif It really was summing up their relationship throughout the manga.

And about the SasuSaku scene, even though I really hate seeing that remenant of Fangirl Sakura, it can't be that surprising. The guy you love, who is homicidal and hate-driven in the real world, is now the perfect Sasuke who seems nice and seems to like you, only to not care about you anymore than the real one did. Just a player with his Harem. Yep, she got her reality check. Meanwhile, back at SS headquarters, the reality check flies over their heads. laugh.gif

I wish this movie was out! shamefulcry0js.gif

Because Naruto disappointed her. She rely on Naruto, but he was in a bad mood and told her basically to quit whining. She got upset from his reaction, so she felt betrayed. It's like a boyfriend said, "You're wrong." to his girlfriend, whether it's right or wrong. Us guys have to be on their side, though there are exception. Just need to explain very politely. So yeah, basically it sets up for her to understand that Naruto is the man who can help her at all the time, but two angry person don't make them understand.

So are they a couple in the movie in a top-secret way set up by Kishi?

They act like one, yes. Just not confirmed as one. It's one of those thing that if we by pass them, we would assume that they are lovers. That's why even AU! Team 8 thought they were dating.

I do believe got the idea of relationship pretty well. Kishi probably tried to keep it secret, but we are smarter than he expected.

That moment when a lot of people actually think they're in a relationship automatically based on how they act yet neither Naruto or Sakura realize they even come off that way. The adorable complexities of NS. love.gif

It's kind of funny how Kiba just bluntly guessed they were on a date while Hinata just went full-on Yandere, threatening to kill Sakura if she stays with him. AU! Hinata is the essence of the NaruHina fandom lol. rolleyes.gif It's interesting, clearly implying that AU! Sakura and Menma had something between each other too. a_plotting.gif

Like I said, it could be a taunt to Naruto or she most likely say that because well at least Sasuke experienced family. That or again, to get the message that Naruto is best for her. She admitted that she was wrong about everything once she got reality check. At least her care factor is very strong as she rather stay in AU! to live miserably than crushing Naruto's happiness. That's pretty huge. Fans have said that she had the best development and it does show. Naruto also got a good development about reality and illusion. It was Sakura that helped Naruto to understand where Naruto belongs. He chose her over his own once he got captured and how no one wanted to help Sakura.

Bolded: Always good to hear her care factor for Naruto is growing danarusakunp3.gif .

Could this be more out of guilt though due to how she treated Naruto in part 1?

Yes, there are plenty of scenes, which is why fans are convinced Kishi is serious with NS. About that scene, Naruto and Sakura were leaving the playground when they bumped into AU! Team 8. Kiba was the one that started it and Hinata got really mad at Sakura, threatening her that she will kill her. Sakura turn blue and Naruto tried to stop, but Hinata then got mad at him for siding Sakura and threatening him to kill him. As for Shino, he was putting the pieces of puzzle together as he said, "If a boy and girl are alone in the playground, then that would mean that they are...," but before he got to finish, Hinata interrupted him by yelling, "They're escaping!" Shino said that he hates to be ignored. laugh.gif

Not to mention Naruto's parents. Kushina teases Naruto about Sakura. It's one of those images with her making a face of "Oh~ You have a girlfriend~ heheelq7.png "

I do wonder if that's a shot to NH fans from Kishi. It does seem like it in some way, but who knows. Yes, it does imply that Menma and AU! Sakura may have a special relationship, but she wasn't present, which I think Kishi purposely prevented it. Even in the anime special made her not mentioning Menma. I wonder why.

Actually, it's not. In the movie, Sakura is with Naruto and witness every moving moments from him. She saw him being frustrated with Tobi because his parents are alive, toying with his emotions. Sakura was giving him advices on parents and a child, like be highly respectful, even they're not real. Sakura saw his transformation from disliking his parents to accepting love. She was happy and touched. When she acknowledged Naruto's strength of loneliness, she wanted to tell him that it's time to go home, but before she knocks on the door, she saw him enjoying life with his parents. She was happy but sad because this will hurt Naruto a lot. Then, the famous fence scene.

There's a video of it. Sakura wanted to tell him to go back home, but it will be hard. When Naruto arrives, he wanted to hurry back home, so Sakura put up a fake happiness, but Naruto realized it and tried to make it sound like they're only taking advantage since it will take to get back home. Then, Sakura asked him if he's happy to be in AU!, which Naruto got caught and couldn't put up a lie. You can only see their bottom half face. Sakura smiled and Naruto felt guilty. She left and Naruto, according to one trailer scene, felt hurt to leave Sakura. Then, what a shock, an invasion began. The rest is history. You can say it's guilt for part 1, but remember, they're in an illusion world and they both wanted to go back home. Besides, that guilt for part 1 Naruto is already covered a long time ago.

I'm guessing it's possible that Memna and Sakura's relationship is exactly the same as main world's Naruto and Sakura. So any romantic gestures or mentionings would probably scream "canon" on the audiences' eyes. Though it is also the fact that AU! Minato and Kushina named their son differently, because AU!Sakura doesn't know anyone with the name of Naruto in her world.

I bet Kishimoto didn't want to reveal that particular relationship, yet for the sake of not spoiling his ending of the series.

It suggests that it's actually it's different.
Sakura is recognized as hero and have a lot of prestige but Naruto wants to work hard not to become hokage but to be acknowledged by her.
seems like "love by rivalry" since AU!Sakura does not exist and given by Kushina hints about this relationship i have any doubts that Menma loved AU!Sakura but the context is different.

Exactly. She commented on Sasuke and remembers him being a playboy. As for Naruto/Menma, she didn't recall, rather the beast names from her world. AU! Sakura didn't appear in the movie, I wonder why. But it's like you said, if we know that they're a couple, then it's too early and game over. It's like in a show where the AU! Characters showed up and the normal characters asked their AU! if they're planning to date, only to tell them that they're engaged.

I don't know. It's very vague of their relationships though it does suggest Menma has a relationship with Sakura. We just don't know what. To me, I see it a way to dodge a bullet.

No, they dont have a romantic relationship and i think Sakura based on that chapter does not love anyone, she seems to be very determined and maybe her dream is to become hokage, on other hand give by Kushina's words Menma suggests to have a crush on Sakura but this "crush" is something that he keeps for his own because what he wants is to "surpass" Sakura a "one-sided rivalry", that suggests love since Kushina loves to troll Naruto with words like "I know why u want to be with her is because you want to prove yourself to her".
Quotes like that.

So it's like an American cartoon love story, where a boy and girl are rivals but they can turn it into love. That's what happened to me at least. sweatdrop.gif
