Pairing moments in Naruto have been extremely dimmed down since we are in the middle of the war. The last one we had was a legitimate 14 chapters ago which dates back about a month before summer even started. Therefore, we seem to genuinely run out of topics to talk about on our own since NaruSaku is so obvious. That then leads to brining arguments back from other fandoms and ships which lead to us trying hard to dismember their arguments and that always comes with bashing alongside it. No matter what or how we have to point out a flaw in their way of thinking about situations. I don't like bashing either but it's just so natural to do it at times that it creates a chain on this thread. Sometimes we just have to try to keep it as low as possible and live with it.

Ok how about were do you want Naruto to kiss Sakura first when he finally does it, the forehead, checks or lips?

Again hahahahahahaha.

We really run out of topics.

 

@arian_arad i think it's fine just people need to avoid bashing, the mods are overlooking the thread if bashing happens they will send out warning i dont see any problem of discussing it, sure there are people who dont like to discuss it, but it's just a matter to avoid or add a new topic but it's really hard to find new topics.

Since she's perverted i dont think it will be on the cheeks or lips, she's literally going to eat Naruto alive.

If there will be two kisses, like the first one without lips, I would like the first one to be on the cheek then the second on the lips. But, I doubt there will be two kisses. So, if Kishi wants to make a kiss, it can be any of those three... But, I would like a kiss on the lips XD

 

Though, Kishi can make no kiss and just show us them holding hands, but I think it's more probable that there will be a kiss. The three of them are nice.

yeah the way Kishi made Sakura stand and look with her mouth open at Hinata's speech to Naruto was no coincidence that spoke volumes as to where Sakura's feelings for Naruto are she only realizes it on impulse and situations like that when she feels like she may lose him . 

If it was a shoujo, no doubt there would have been drama conflict between them with Naruto not understanding why she's upset. The old shoujo tactic. But since this is Shounen, we get to say, "Screw it, NS engage."

If it was to be brought by Sakura to Naruto he would most likely go like that he didn't notice and that he has only looked to her in a romantic light

[T XD]

No wonder Kishi is interested now in Shoujo, from what I know. Seems that he's thinking on what would happen between those characters if it was a Shoujo like what is said now. Lol.

I feel like an Inuyasha scenario would happen here if it was shoujo and if the war ended already. I think Naruto will play the clueless one and Sakura will play the "Fine, be that way" one. Though Naruto won't still have feelings for Hinata. Just a huge misunderstanding.

[Psychox]

Example, saying that Minato said "Girl-Friend" and Naruto answering "more or less, yes i think you can call that" and their explanation is that Naruto hates Sakura and he doenst have words to describe if Sakura is his friend, shortening they basically are implying that Naruto hates Sakura because of the confession and doesnt consider her as a friend just because he said more or less say that she's his friend.

Meanwhile you have Sasuke who tried to kill Naruto three times and lied to him and despite that he consider him as his friend but Sakura no, Sakura is a b*** who Naruto must hate.

 

It's makes me rage aswell you're not alone, they literally raped Naruto's bond with Sakura to deny the obviously thing that Minato told Sakura.

People doesnt need ot have an average QI to understand that Minato meant "girlfriend" "Lover" etc.. on that moment, it's just denial really.

 

Its no just you it seems , I see it overall , denial , ignorance , arrogance ... Bah , its gonna hurt not that it doesn't right now .

That's what i told fellow NS shippers on Tumblr they hate Sakura 's guts so she must suffer for what she has done to Naruto fail fession, still lovin Sasuke , 540 . - _ -

I don't know , i just ...

Here is topic to talk, maybe we've talked about it already , but meh .

What do you guys think made Sakura hug Naruto after the aftermath with the battle of Pain ?

Others wanted Hinata to do it what pushed her, what drove her , if she hasn't got any feelings for him , yes she was happy/relieved  that he is alive ,but is there something beyond that ?

She hugged him because he was worried sick for him. Imagine you only get info but not seeing it. After all, he went Kyuubi and she was worried because she knows the bad side of if. Hearing after the battle ended, she was questioning if he needs or anything. Obviously, she was worried sick. After it was done, she did her tsundere moment: hit him for making her scare so much, then tenderness engage.

Is there more to it? Yes, but the spectators only knows. She is clueless.

There's so much Hinata love and Sakura hate in the West (I don't know about other regions, so I'm trying to be specific), that it's completely missed that in many ways it seems Kishimoto has set up Hinata to be Sakura's foil.  Hinata is extremely priviledged, she has a strong family, a strong prominent clan, has a major Kekkei Genkai, has a Sensei who seemed to focus on her, has had bodyguards throughout her life (including recently as a 16 year old chuunin)...she's a character who has all the advantages of the world, but for the most part doesn't have the drive, the strength, or the courage to work hard and literally take the next step.  And even though she's improved, she still lags behind the others.  Hinata is the very opposite of Sakura, and not in a good way.  Sakura doesn't have a prominent family, she doesn't have a rich family that can provide her with bodyguards, she doens't have a Kekkei Genkai -rather the result of her genetics is that she doesn't have much chakra/has low stamina- her Sensei tends to ignore her unless he thinks she needs to be protected (as if he feels that he's been a 2nd chance to protect Rin, if he can protect Sakura).  All she has is the fact that she likes to read, that she's smart, that she's extremely good at memorizing, and she took that one talent and took an active role in bettering herself.  She saught Tsunade out, and asked to be an apprentice, she found a way to improve herself, rather than finding excuses to lag.

 

It's so obvious, it's shocks me that it's completely missed, and that a character as privileged as Hinata is often referred to as an "underdog."

I think you are looking at this through Sakura tinted glasses which is understandable as an NS fan however I think you are grossly overstating some of these points to arrive at your conclusion. What on earth does having bodyguards have to do with growth if anything having a pair of goons follow you around all the time would probably hinder feelings of independence. While being from a privileged family in our world gives people certain benefits I cant really see the benefits of it in the Narutoverse for the purposes of comparison she didn't have better gear or instruction as a shinobi that seems all provided through Konoha's Shinobi training, I suppose she did have specfic training on how to use the Byakugan but that's hardly outlandish. Even if Sakura did seek out Tsunade its not as if she had to fight to be Tsunade's apprectice she just walked in and asked and Tsunade agreed (because she saw potential I'm sure). When Hinata is referenced as an underdog it's usually as the underdog pairing or the underdog when compared to Neji, you need to look at the whole picture for a long time she wasn't even treated that great by her own family despite being the heir I mean they let Neji kick the ever living hell out of her in the Chunin exams. I guess my point in all this is that try and separate your dislike for the NH fandom with the actual character of Hinata because when you look at things objectively instead of trying to make the manga fit your argument you will find that you garner a better understanding of it in general. Remember we give NH a lot of flak for giving the story and Hinata centric tilt through interpretation all the time, lets try and avoid doing the same in an effort raise Sakura over Hinata, the story does that all by itself without our help.

yeah she is a closet pervert lols and Naruto has grown to be a pervert so its safe to say we may see some X -rated kitten . haha .

Sakura realizing Hinata "loved" Naruto was the driving force to hug him romantically in front of everyone including Hinata . And also the fact that Naruto came when Sakura called him which made her feel safe. Her saying thank you was for him not only saving the village but it was also a personal reason on her part and I believe those personal reasons was not only did he come back safe to her but also because he came immediately when she called him and (to show Hinata to back off haha:) . Reinforcing that he will always be there for her . But Sakura's driving force imo was Hinata . And the way she looked after Hinata's speech only reinforced this .

Many people often sees Hinata's only goal is to be Naruto's lover. That's actually false. She can love the man, sure, but clearly she wants to be the same level because she is inspired by his work effort and that's why that Pain moment happened, which connects to the theme, the village love for Naruto. Naruto is a great friend, great student, great teacher, great inspiration, great role model, and great man. That's why that arc has focused on Naruto and that chapter with village's change of view happened.

That said it felt right to have Hinata to get her moment of telling him that he's an inspirational person, so much that she loves him for the help in need. Naruto doesn't know how much he meant to his people, which is why he was stunned to see the village waiting for him. That all said that doesn't mean NH will be canon or having the focus of it. She was fallen to victim of making Naruto looking good in terms of importance.

I don't bash Hinata, I only see her an ok character that people heavily exaggerated her role because it's always about enlightenment. There's no arc that is heavily focus on her like the early stage of One Piece. So yeah, people is to be blamed to make others becoming against her. Go figure.

It reminds me of the oroke ninjustu scene , i want to see that face of hers again

[DattebayoXShannaro]

No this happened in another story we were talking about that had a pair with similar development to NaruSaku, though if this did happen to them I don't know what I do.

 
Yeah, that's what I meant.  In this other story, did that actually happen or is it exaggeration of a pairing being sunk?
 

thing is the hinata fans have blown everything out of proportion and now everything she does the fans of other pairings scrutinise her. Perhaps people would have enjoyed her presence and meager development more if there wouldnt be this pairing war. In another manga Beelzebub the author himself has made a love triangle more obvious and each time uses it in the story. In that series because of what I saw in the Naruto fandom I refuse to see if there is a pairing war.

Well those are fine but isn't their already a thread for those. I was thinking about something I want to see Sakura do.
 
I have asked this few times now, but I'm not sure if it has been discussed here before. Does anyone want to see Sakura Punching Sasuke, how and why? 
 
Here is a video that can be used as an example, go to 9:19 to see it http://www.youtube.c...97049F70B8327CD

 

Yes, I want Sakura to punch Sasuke.  It'll definitely happen when defending Naruto in someway, whether it would be an attack physically or at his character.  I've imagined a scene where Naruto beats Sasuke, and afterwards, refuses to kill him.  Sasuke takes it as an insult and calls Naruto fool and a loser for still being so naïve.  Naruto states that even after everything, he still wishes for them to understand each other.  Sasuke says that's impossible as Naruto could never understand how he feels because again Naruto grew up alone with nothing.  Naruto gets a little angry and still tries to persuade him as he moves a little closer, but Sakura comes in and stops him, walks up to Sasuke, gives him a smile, and POW, right in the face.
 
 

I think she hugged him for saving the village but mostly for coming back safe to her and remember when she called his name  and he came immediately .? She hugged him for being her "Superman" and coming in time when she yelled his name .  I think that reinforced the fact that she knows Naruto will always be there for her . And also for making her feel safe and secure during the battle . Also this may be a long shot but I think knowing the fact that Hinata "loved him" drove her to do what she did too and hug him romantically in front of everybody , THAT WAS THE DRIVING FORCE . But after seeing Sakura's face after Hinata's speech it may not be such a long shot after all .

 
No shock you give a superman reference.  
 
The face after Hinata's speech is valid I believe.  Kishimoto specifically focused on Sakura during this moment.  That fact alone is proof, and the fact it was a particularly small panel can be taken as it's something that leads to an event that will readdress it later.  However, I doubt it will be used for drama purposes like in a shojo manga, but will be used to address Sakura's feelings when the time comes.

Lol, I'm reminded of the same thing.  I wished the producers showed it in the anime, but I understand why not.

The Series with this Pair is still going on and their are both alive at the moment though anything could happen, you should see how worried the fandom is for this pair.

She hugged him as a deep acknowledgement, it's just another of those scenes that leads to nothing, like Yamato's arc, it was so obvious due to the crowd reaction that was some kind of romance in the air, but Sakura didnt perceived that, that was the problem, it become a moment where the villagers acknowledged Naruto and the symbolism of Naruto receiving this acknowledgement in the form of a hug from his love interest, which makes the scene beautifull, Naruto being acknowledged by his love interest as a hero of the village.

 

Neither Naruto perceived how deep Sakura worries and cares about him, neither Sakura perceived her feelings for Naruto because on a matter of two chapters she was pratically confirmed her love for Sasuke(once again) when the kumo ninja asked her what Sasuke is to her.

 

I feel that the only moment when Kishimoto stopped giving scenes like those was when he decided to reveal Naruto's feelings to Sakura, after that summit everything changed, Sakura does know about Naruto's feeligns and she's confronting her feelings for the other guy.

The romance subplot is leading to the conclusion aswell.
