No really


Madara I'm sorry come here let us hug you

You know what this makes me think ? XD

Kishi telling us indirectly " Well, Hashirama's and Madara's fight will be postponed a bit. Madara will make himself ready or something like that meanwhile. Gotta finish with the Juubi first people "

[PhenixElite]

Completely true, you just can't have Kushina say to find a girl like herself and then have Minato, Kushina's husband and Naruto's father go and confirm that Sakura is that girl without following along that route to make NaruSaku canon.

Now that Sakura to Kushina parallel is confirmed any other pairing will seem completely out of place and just wrong.

I'll say what's on my mind right now:

It's no longer the road to if Narusaku will be canon anymore. It's Road to how NaruSaku becomes canon. No need to agree with me, but this is forever on my mind. I feel that Kishi purposely had Sasuke announced his plan to make Sakura choose who should she root for. It's like a indirect way of who she loves more. I don't want to go full detail because all I can think about is this battle.

It's funny, remember how long time ago we said that Sakura's developments begin when Sasuke shows up and it will be based on him. Well, if you ask me, it's a total opposite. I noticed how much interactions and care factors they have shown in this volume, more than I can say with other characters. That determined eyes she had convinced him that she will stand and fight, no matter what. Sasuke is all, "...eh" which is like back then. Honestly, this shows you that NS is much capable than SS. Great chemistry all around. I will discuss more later, but yes, nothing is changing my mind. And we still didn't get ObiRin/NaruSaku confirmed yet but at this point, it's overkill.

Yeah, this exactly!

Yeah, stay confident. I'm very confident myself, and you do bring up a good point. I am just more worried about people's feelings in this fandom when something similar to 615 happens again. If it happens again.

Well, as you see most of the people in here arent actually taking NS as canon, so it shouldnt be that much of a problem
I myself am positive enough to handle dissapointments without a problem.

Ding Ding Ding.

....also rape face.

....Man I really want Sakura to get the Killing Blow on the Juubi. Like really.....REALLY..........

All right who wants to take a guess that Orochimaru went to find Kabuto and maybe he will use edo tensei to take control of the Hokages after they defeat the Juuibi and Madara? Also where the f*** is Sai? I can only take a guess that he went either after the wounded kages or maybe after Yamato's location.

Good, and I hope everyone else feels the same.

Can I ask something and I really want an honest answer out of this one.

When can we really finally say "This is canon" and not be told to "Not think that way." I just want to draw the line here cause it seems like even if it is 100% confirmed we still shouldn't say "confirmed."

Nothing for Nothing, but what would be the moment that cements it without question?

[MangaReader]

Well the lack of indicative qualities commonly associated with Naruto expressing affection such as blushing or stuttering as he was clasping Hinata's hand should have been taken into consideration by those proponents. His facial characteristics and posture actually appeared to be implying withdrawal or retraction from her. There was no emotional reciprocation on the same level similar to what we witnessed with Sakura's eyes alone providing all of the information that he required to allow her to fight alongside them. That displays a level of emotional trust and understanding that NH has been so lacking for the all of the manga.

And this is why I said they jump the shark...literally anything that has Hinata interacting with Naruto automatically means their canon

I'm imagining Sakura punching the Juubi with her deadly fist and make him puke XD. It's not far though that she'll punch the Juubi and damage it badly, but puke... We'll see his saliva out

When Sakura clearly says she loves Naruto, or actually shows them being together. Something along those lines.

Really, we can't really say anything canon until the very end. There is still somethings left for the manga to show, and we don't know what is left in store in the future.

"If was a joke by Naruto. Technically Sakura is his girlfriend. She is his friend, who so happenlly(sp) is a girl, hence, girlfriend. Naruto took that and turned it into a joke.

Theres a difference between a girl who happens to be a friend(but nothing deeper then that), and your serious relationship girllfriend. However both are still technically your girlfriend."

T-T-This... is just....

Denial? Yes, you would be correct.

I can only say " Waow ! "...

[K9ofChaos]

I'm betting that this power-up Sakura has is going to be the Slug Sage Mode. And if the past speculation is anything to go by, Hashi's Sage Mode might be said Slug Sage Mode. Which would be a nice thematic thing, Two Slug Sage Modes and Two Kyubi Chakra Modes (or whatever it is that Minato did to make his body glow with chakra).

For me: Now after this chapter

The only thing is that everyone looks at what the characters are showing and not what the author is showing.

I guess it will be canon when the manga ends.

Just want to point at something that I'm really glad of XD

You see my avatar pic here:
<-------------------------------

This pic came true with Naruto and Sakura fighting alongside with Sasuke XD... except that, in reality, Sakura isn't holding a big stick, Naruto doesn't have a sword and Sasuke should be included in the pic.

It appears that this resentment may be consuming all of the Naruto forums. This isn't confined to just NF, NB, or Tumblr, but other sites like GF which is reacting angrily to the events of 631 as well. Some of them are attempting to repudiate Sakura's legitimacy as a fighter or character whilst others are misconstruing the meaning of Naruto's response to Minato's question relating to Sakura's relationship status with Naruto. This is one of the arguments that I have witnessed being used by one of the most dedicated of NH fans there:

"If was a joke by Naruto. Technically Sakura is his girlfriend. She is his friend, who so happenlly(sp) is a girl, hence, girlfriend. Naruto took that and turned it into a joke.

Theres a difference between a girl who happens to be a friend(but nothing deeper then that), and your serious relationship girllfriend. However both are still technically your girlfriend."

Honestly, I feel compelled to respond with the post someone previously created on here which addresses the fact that there is no Japanese equivalent to a phrase that could be interpreted as referring either to a "friend who is a girl" or a "girl whom you are in a romantic relationship with". Of course one should refrain from becoming involved in arguments like that.

Thing is, it HAS to be Byakugō or else she would be restricted from the front lines by Tsunade. Having Byakugō means she already can access the Yin Seal and Sōzō Saisei (Creation Rebirth - used against Orichmaru and Kagato) If she ALSO had Sage mode then....she's a Kage level nin.
