Lets not jump the gun on this movie, yet. Yes, Naruto and Sakura are obviously going to be central to the plot, but its not as if them working together is unusual or surprising. They are friends and teammates who often go on missions together in the manga, etc. We don't really know if this means we'll get any romantic fan service.

Some of you are behaving rather arrogantly, and I don't think its wise to do that with the little info we have right now. Don't let this get to your heads.

just them being in the movie together makes me happy XD

i was happy with them just being side by side together in other movies XD

I don't think anyone here is acting arrogantly per say, but some were upset that people were blatantly covering up what the plot is going to involve. Even if someone doesn't like the pairing NaruSaku, the plot is still about Naruto and Sakura being thrown into an illusion, what's the point of changing that?

As NaruSaku fans, I'm sure everyone here would love to see some romance hints, but no one is saying that they'll happen absolutely, it's all wishful thinking. What can be said is that the plot and the characters will probably be much closer to their manga counterparts compared to previous movies, which is fantastic.

We are having fun speculating amongst ourselves on a Narusaku forum, not repeatedly altering what is actually stated as the real plot on a Naruto wiki like a certain other ship is. I seriously think you are whinging about the wrong people, go bother them about their "arrogance", which in their case actually is arrogance.

Yeah, I wasn't speaking about the speculation or the predictions made in regards to the movie.

I've noticed that some of the members have been bragging and just being unnecessarily mean in regards to talking about the other fandoms and their reactions. We don't need to mock the others in order to enjoy this film. If we get NaruSaku fan service than that's great, but we don't need to discuss the level of butthurt other pairing fans may or may not be experiencing. It kind of ruins the enjoyment out of the speculation when you take it so seriously that you have to start talking about others.

+1.

Let's not bother with other fandoms and enjoy the speculation and the movie. Although I can understand where it is coming from.

Back to the topic, I really hope Kishimoto uses this movie to showcase why he designed Sakura as a medic and also strong in Genjutsu (something that Naruto lack of).

[Serenity Namikaze]

I've been reading comments here for quite a while but never bothered giving my thoughts ( guess this is what happend when you're not up to date with the manga, anime, movies etc.)

I must admit that I'm very excited with this movie, yes because we might have a very good possibility to have NaruSaku moments but more so because we might have big Sakura moments and that for me is much more important in my opinion.

Beside the third shippuden movie and a little the third of the first generation, I don't connect much with the movies because we don't have that much focus on the main characters, beside Naruto of course ( well, the second shippuden movie we had Sasuke but I feel like it was out of place but that's just me not liking Sasuke I guess). What I liked about the 3rd shippuden movie is that it follow quite well with the cannon story for once, had all the characters that we like are seen as suppport and even main characters at some point ( loved to see Lee/Neji combo attack and also Tenten beating the crap out of the beast, it was really beautiful to see). We also got to see emotinal moments that again follow the main story ( The moment with Shikamaru and Naruto near the end, Shikamaru seeing Asuma in Naruto's shadow etc.). Overall, the story of the third shippiden movie was brilliant, the characterisation of the characters follow very well with the characters in the manga hell, I even felt a connection with the main villain as his backgroud story seem logical and could have been put well in the cannon material and last but not the least, the backgroud music was magical, you could actually feel the big moments thanks to that.

This is what I want to see in the 6th movie that I feel that was missing in most, if not all the movies beaside the 3rd of the shippuden serie. However, as much I really like the 3rd movie, even if she has important moments there, I feel like that in the 6th movie, Sakura could trully shine if need to be. Like Ciardha mention on many occasion, I trully beleive that Sakura strong hability for genjutsu could really play in favor for her this time and if we get the 'Naruto is trully happy in this illusion' we might have a very good emotional scene in there and that it also what I want to see. Whatever it's romantic or not, for me it doesn't matter much but I really REALLY want to actually FEEL the tension, the hope and the despair that I felt in the 3rd shippuden movie.

Anyway, let just hope for the best, let us continue to do some speculations and have fun doing so, I really enjoy reading some of the ideas of the members here and even if I no longer talk as much as I used too, I always enjoy reading the thought and ideas ( as crazy as some might be )

[Deej]

Yeah, I'm really hoping this movie is more like the 3rd Shippuden movie. Which has been by far the best of the Shippuden movies. I have a feeling this movie will be as good.

Inheritors truly has been the best Naruto movie so far and I have very high expectations for this movie since Kishimoto himself wrote the plot and did the character designs. I'm confident that this movie will surpass Inheritors by a lot. I heard that Kishimoto had some partial involvement in the Inheritors movie but I'm not sure as to what extent, but it goes to show that when Kishimoto even give partial focus to a film it turns out to be great. I can only hope that this movie gets everyone talking about it since it has Kishimoto's complete attention, my expectations are big.

Also, with any luck we get some good development between Naruto and Sakura. Of course is not gonna be canon but we can take it as "author intent" as someone previously described it. I know I'm reading to much into it but I realy liked how in the second movie poster Sakura was shown besides Naruto's parents. If we go by common logic it would've been better to have Kakashi there since he was Minato's student but that wasn't the case. I really do hope that the characters that get the most interaction with each other are Naruto, Sakura, Minato and Kushina.

I'm pretty sure that will be the case since those four are the main characters of the movie- I really can't wait to see the movie, especially any scenes of Sakura interacting with either Minato and Kushina :<3

Kakashi probably doesn't have as prominent a role in this movie because he was a major focus in the third movie.

I'm not sure how reliable this poster in 2ch is... but just in case, here's what he/she says:

Yesterday there was a voice actor talk show hosted in Ragunasha (with Junko-san and Inoue-san, Naruto and Kakashi's seiyuu) - and it seems that they gave a few spoilers about this year's movie?

1) This year's movie will not be an original story like they've been up until now - it will follow the original work.

2) There is a reason why all the characters shown in the movie announcement poster (with the exception of Naruto, Minato and Kushina) have a different appearance - and it's connected with Tobi's jutsu

WHAAATT??!! Damn you Kishi!!! if this is true, then that means we'll constantly get references to the movie in the manga and we wouldn't know what the heck is going on until it comes out a year later!!!

The seiyuu talk show is certainly real, since it was publicized on Pierrot's Website.

[kirabook]

Hm... interesting. Maybe it's in the near future then?

I still don't think it will technically be canon, but it could come mighty close, or maybe it will actually happen... but I don't think so. XD

[Super Boom]

2) There is a reason why all the characters shown in the movie announcement poster (with the exception of Naruto, Minato and Kushina) have a different appearance - and it's connected with Tobi's jutsu

Well, that's pretty interesting. I think that's pretty close to most of the theories I've read so far, but it's good to have confirmation of it.

Only one thing though. They only mention Naruto, Minato, and Kushina. Hmm, either they forgot about someone, or Sakura will also be affected by Tobi's jutsu. I'm leaning towards the former, on account of the previous poster specifically pointing out Naruto and Sakura getting caught up in the genjutsu, and how her appearance doesn't look any different than her canon self. I guess we'll have to wait to find out.

Yeah, that'll be really annoying if that was the case. I hope it just means that the movie will follow the canon material, and not necessarily be a continuation of it. I think the whole genjutsu premise makes it pretty likely to be a reset, with Naruto and Sakura just waking up at the end, and Tobi still alive. I mean, Kishi wouldn't expect all of his manga-only fans to go out, pay extra money, and see a movie to understand what's going on, would he? Hopefully he'll do a little tie-in in the manga to explain everything, if that's the case.

I hope so... but yeah... there's no doubt he's going to do a special chapter like Kubo and Oda did once.

[redragon88]

Here's my take on those two points in the interview:

1) This year's movie will not be an original story like they've been up until now - it will follow the original work.

That just probably means that the central plot for this movie will have to do with aspects of the original work, i.e. The Moon's Eye Plan. This will be the first movie that will use an already known threat instead of a completely new one, I think this is what they meant.

2) There is a reason why all the characters shown in the movie announcement poster (with the exception of Naruto, Minato and Kushina) have a different appearance - and it's connected with Tobi's jutsu

I don't think Sakura will be any different than her usual self. If she was gonna be affected by the jutsu then there would be no point in specifically mentioning her in the synopsis. It goes to say "Naruto and Sakura are attacked by the mysterious man's new jutsu" and near the end it also mentions something like "Conspiracies surround Naruto and Sakura...", why on earth mention her like that in the synopsis if it wasn't for the fact that she will be facing the same situation as Naruto?

I'm sure that Sakura is meant to face the problem and not just be a part of it like Kakashi, Hinata, Ino and the rest are. The synopsis would be very misleading if she was in the same situation as everybody else.

[Deej]

Now I am trying to notice any differences in Sakura on that poster. It must be subtle changes like Choji, Kiba, and Shino.

i noticed she looks like kakashi.
because of the horse seal
but i still think she would be innafected by genjustsu cuz she is genjutsu type and naruto cannot be affected because he is a jinchuuriki so kyuubi can use his/her chakra to free naruto

kakashi uses the horse seal for his Fireball

I'm guaranteeing it's a deliberate "forgetting" of Sakura. The people who translate stuff and even some of the Japanese posters on 2 chan are Sakura haters. They always leave out, negatively distort or minimize anything that Sakura does. Remember when we used to get manga chapter spoilers on Mondays or Tuesdays? Every time Sakura did something in a chapter that's how the spoiler people and/or the ones that translated the spoilers stated it. The TV Tokyo page doesn't even mention Kushina as being one of the main characters (I'm betting from seeing her in the trailer and her positioning on the poster, and her connection to Naruto and Minato she'll be a strong support character though). But the main characters are Naruto, Sakura, and Minato, on the official movie page. This version of the "interview" was just translated and stated as news because it "conveniently" leaves out Sakura as a main character. You all do remember the way the Sakura haters created the infamous "summary" of the Jump Festa 2009 interview with Kishimoto... a narusasu shipper, who admitted they didn't care that much for Sakura, of all people, was the one that blew the whistle on the rabid Sakura haters "summary" because that person hated that a completely false version of the interview was being presented as truth and gave the much more accurate (and coherent for that matter) version (that apparently the Sakura haters have since done their best to hide

Hopefully TV Tokyo's page about the movie will have some more info soon. That's the reliable place to check, not 2 chan.

Because narusaku "threatens" who they ship with Naruto.

[Sakamaki Izayoi]

but still not a valid argument for bashing sakura
