Exactly what I've been trying to drive home these past few weeks. Glad you said it was not gonna type that much again. People need to stay calm and relax, Sakura will have her time. I mean he did say that every character will shine in this war and with the volume ending this chapter with the symbolic alliance bird ripping through tentacle bird cage, don't you feel that this whole fiasco was with Hinata neji and TE hyuna might be done for the most part. I feel that there story has come full circle and might be complete, now on to the next one. I have a feeling that Sakura is still on the battle field maybe in the other dimension since Kakashi did talk about it transporting to and from and how with Shikaku, she vowed to be with him, I doubt she went anywhere else. I have a feeling the hokages will show up here instead of anyone going to them. Let's wait and see and be patient people. We just gotta perservere. I know for a fact that kishimoto won't snub her like some you here fear.
She will have here part but most likely after everyone else has had theirs. Only makes since to focus on ur main cast last right?

Any ways great post fellow lurker

PS sorry for potential bad grammar did this on iPhone in 5 min

It's pretty simple logic, Sakura not in attendance shows that she is going to be used for a bigger role. Personally I'm glad she is not just stuck with all the fodder characters right now! Let them get their development out of the way, so we can move to bigger and better things (Sakura). We should be excited that Sakura isn't being used the way the other characters are, but instead she is going to be given a finale most likely, and will play a large role when the time comes!

Kishi isn't an idiot, he knows who the heroine is, and he's gonna give her the role she deserves.

Patience is a virtue, for now let's just be patient and wait for Sakura to make a major impact. What a sweet victory it will be!!

I agree with you, but if she just randomly pops up in some tent somewhere healing , it's going to cut like a you know what.

Anyway, I appreciate the naruto's final words.... He don't want breaks any bonds.... I guess if he was talking about Sakura too... He's still Naruto seeing his final speech....

[Nefertieh]

If you pay attention Hinata didnt healed Naruto's shoulder she used Juuken on his arm.
It wasnt a heal it put back his shoulder on his place.

He's still giving fanservice to side characters this chapter was Lee.

If Kishimoto is willing to write a scenario where an internal-organ rupturing justu can fix a dislocated arm, is it any surprise that the fandom is asking where the medic is supposed to be?

I'm so pissed off and disappointed. I never expected Sakura to do anything in this chapter, but I at least expected one frickin panel of her in the damn chapter. But no, Kishimoto doesn't even give a kitten enough to do that. Sakura just vanished off the face of the earth and no one cares. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING KISH?!". God, he's such a hypocrite. He supposedly says in an interview that Sakura is the heroine and he'll make her more heroine like, but then lets Hinata overshadow her multiple times in just a few chapters. I'm actually starting to believe the interview that said Kishimoto thought Hinata would be a better heroine was the non-biased one. He's doing the opposite of backing up his words.

This is from his actual interview:

Kishimoto: On the contrary.... I felt like depicting an honest girl, with a surprisingly stubborn impression.
So... she became such a character, but... well... from here on, maybe I should draw her showing a bit more spirit.
I figured I had placed her in a heroin-like situation [sic]
But from the readers I was told harshly that she wasn’t heroin-ish at all.
Perhaps I should show depict her a bit more like a heroin [sic]
Because you say 'Hinata Hinata,' I say 'She’s not Hinata' .

You know.... The more I see the colour cover of the previous chapter the more I wonder why Kishimoto is avoiding her appearance in this battle? Does is he really just forgotten her as he told during the jump festa the last year? Or does he have any purpose for her later? I mean, he did show even Akamaru, TenTen here... No way he has forgotten Sakura... What I'm wondering now: What precisely have he in his mind regarding her?

1) Going to the place where there're kages? (8%)
2) Back in the Konohagakure? (2%)
3) Still on the battlefield while she's healing some fodder ninjas (35%)
4) Attacking the juubi along others and we didn't just see her (20%)
5) On hold until It'll be her turn in according at something about Shikaku's plan (35%)

[Nefertieh]

It's not about pairings at this point, not about nh ns or ss, it's about Sakura and how much she has been neglected. He trolled her in the kage summit arc badly and made her come back on her own words, it wasn't anymore about we will do it together it was "i will believe in Naruto and go back to the kitchen", since then he completely forgot about her and then he brought her back to show her love for Sasuke a man who would take her life without second toughts and who still wants to kill her her parents her friends and destroy her village this is a horrible way to write one of your main characters no matter how you slice it. Now that everyone's time to shine has come what do we get ? Sakura in the background while the weakest and most unconfident character takes her place and is now a fountain of wisdow, she even knows how to heal Naruto without him asking for it (yes Hinata is able to read toughts and knows how to replace dislocated shoulders) and taking Sakura's role along with it amazing writing isn't it ? Now as much as this Hinata nonsense is forced down our throats this is not the worse, the worse is that this nonsense comes at the expense of the main characters mainly Sakura and Naruto for obvious reasons. I think one member named weltall said it best : to make one character shine kishi has to make the others characters appear worse than they really are this is bad. The whole alliance is attacking as one man apart from Sakura of couse because lolz who cares about her ? She has only been a main character for the majority of the manga now it's Hinata's role pffff.
You can't even imagine how disapointed I am by kishi right now i tried to give him some credit but now I simply can't i won't execpt anything from him and i wouldn't even be surprised if nh and ss happen even if it means off panelling Naruto's feelings and give a side character her wish over his protagonist's feelings and desires.

Note: The artist is/ was a Sakura fan, he's just disappointed at her lack of screentime.

I was scared Sakura ran off to find Sasuke in 616 (that was me ._.) but now I'm really really scared she's gonna do it.

My biggest fear/theory:

Sakura runs off to find Sasuke in Konoha and Naruto finds out and gives some sort of speech along the lines of:

"I guess I have to let her go..." Etc.



I'm really really worried right now.

Assuming she somehow teleported to Konoha right in front of Sasuke, without getting killed on arrival?

Naah, how should she even know? Why should she make the same mistake again?
If kishi shows that its the worst thing he can do to her character. I see a 0% chance of sakura doing that.

Dude, you're really overlooking that too much ahaha

Don't worry... no way she's going to Konoha... That make aven less sense than the theory about she's going to where are the kages... No, I'm certain that Sakura in still there on the battlefield... The only problem is that She apparently doing nothing...

Seriously, no! She was next to Kakashi. I think HE would have noticed if she suddenly decided to run off.

NO WAY he would allow her to go on a wild goose chase for Sasuke by herself, when they need every available strength to fight against Obidara + Juubi.

I know we think Kishi may do ridiculous things but even that is so far out and makes no sense at all when Sakura 1) has no reason or means to learn of Sasuke's location 2) Is REALLY far away from where he is 3) Was with Kakashi, who as said, would not let her run off somewhere randomly 4) Said she is going to FIGHT with Naruto.

I know we're worried but just because we're swapping back and forth between the Alliance and Team Taka doesn't mean Sakura is going to suddenly end up with Sasuke and gang =___=

Most probably that the girl who will meet Sasuke and his team in Konoha is Karin, since she was there and the last time we've seen her she was trying to escape from the prison. Kishi wanted show her escaping for a purpose.

This theory about Sakura's going to Konoha because of Sasuke woulds seems more as an optimistic fan fiction made by some SS fan -.-"

Exactly. There's zero foreshadowing about her thinking about Sasuke or meeting up with him.

Some people said there's hardly any foreshadowing for Sakura and Sai waiting to ambush Obito in the other dimension, but her meeting up with Sasuke would be even more ridiculous If Kishi had intended that, he could have left her behind in Konoha, to "hold the fort" or something in the first place lol.

Look at how Final Fantasy was with VIII and how Squall was with Rinoa. She was in love with Cypher, but she met squall and became a teammate, she started to open up to him. Squall closed himself off and thought he could only rely on himself. Then he opened up to her.

That made the relationship so perfect and they did fight along the way and have problems, but it was worth it in the end.

Actually to think about it, NS has a similar thing to FVIII

Squall was in love with Rinoa who was in love with Cypher in the beginning. Quistis was in love with Squall, but she later comes to realize that maybe her love was for to be the sister to him that he wanted. Even she makes note of how she might have confused the two feelings.

It's not exact, but it seems rather similar to how things are going now in Part 2.

It's actually a bit of the joke in the FFVIII fandom that Squall didn't care about Rinoa at the end of disc 2 when she nearly fell off Balamb Garden, but had a sudden change of heart in the beginning of disc 3.

While it is nice to know Sakura and Naruto have had a lot of development over the manga, their feelings towards each other were never really open for discussion until Sakura's confession... and even then, it was quickly sidelined for Sasuke. Unfortunately, unlike manga, those games are usually written with a specific pairing at the start.

Kill me, please!

No the Main Heroin is Hinata, Sakura dose have a big decision to make over Sasuke but She is now support. Her decision over Sasuke will determine if She is to have a clear future in people being able to count on Her when a hard decision is needed or will She let others again make the decision for Her.

Ohh, its new to me that one chapter made hinata to the main heroine. I guess the art from last chapters was just to show hinata is a main character now.

Seriously stop whinning.

the question is: Why are you paying heed to him/her?

I even read something worse like: Kushina was kidnapped by Kumogakure since she had an interesting power (the kyuubi), right? Well, the Kumogakure was also disposed to kidnap Hinata for her byakugan. For the both of women Kumogakure era available to move war against Konoha. This's foreshadowing! Thanks Kishi!

Well, it's hard when people know you're a Sakura fan and shove it down your throat every time they have the opportunity.
