Wow, lots of energy spent ranting on bad fics, reviewers and writers!

Yeah, I agree with you guys - teenagers HAVE HORMONES! I mean, hell, there is no way a guy like Naruto (or even Shikamaru!) would go through days without at least some fantasising about their loves! Same goes for Sakura and Ino - they're the types who would spend a lot of time thinking about the guys when they're not concentrating on training/missions.

I foresee Naruto and Sakura having naughty thoughts about each other while they're trying to be just friends and focus on being shinobi. I may have to raise the rating of SoF when puberty really hits the characters...

Hell, it wouldn't be OOC for Sakura to try and peek on an older Naruto in the hot springs!

And I agree, we need to get some NaruSakuness in FF/AFF! I have a holiday coming up in two weeks, maybe I can get some one-shots done.

I have a little rant about the anime. I just wish they could give Naruto some credit in it! Sure, he still does cool things, but he's made to look stupider in it. Over the manga he's shown to be slowly becoming more intelligent and has moments of genius in battle. They still show his bright moments in battle, but they dumb him down outside of fights. :/

Sakura DOES look better at the Chuunin exam and afterwards, and so far it seems they're trying to compensate for slightly veering away from the manga now, by making her look better in the fillers and Naruto is a bit better though he still had a bad moment. Their interaction was better - there was so little "Sasuke-kun" swooning!!

Yeah, I agree. I mean, I have some respect for her, but she irritates me too much to actually like her. That's why I write her more mature and confident (and I give reasons for that, too....I didn't just turn her into someone else without explaining ) because I wouldn't be able to do it if I didn't tweak a few things....

I also agree that Sakura is a lot weaker/whineir in the show...bah. Oh well. And Naruto does come off as a bit of a block head, but I adore him so much that I let that junk slide off. ::shrugs:: We know better, so who cares if people are too stupid to just watch the show and not read the manga? It's thier loss...

Plus I noticed that NaruHina people support SakuLee AND SasuSaku

while SasuSaku and SakuLee fans support NaruHina.

See the connection?

That gets me mad. I have no problems if you give, you know, legitimate reasons why you like those pairings with canon backup. Problem is that when you use NaruHina with SasuSaku (or vice versa) and don't justify your reasons for choosing both, it's just a conveniance pairing. Those I have problems with. I could support SasuIno because it gets Sasuke out of the way, doesn't it? And I could support KibaHina because Hinata's out of the way (Although I don't see her as being that big of a threat). But I don't. I DON'T support SasuIno, because I think it ruins their characters. I like ShikaIno because it works and is interesting. I do support KibaHina because I think Kiba has a crush on Hinata. I don't like it becaues it gets Hinata out of the way, if that was true then I wouldn't care who she was with because she's out of the way, isn't she?

And I feel that I do see that with a lot of the pairings. They drive it in their heads so much that these pairings MUST HAPPEN because then the threats will be out of the way, that they convinve themselves and those around them that it's CANON and CANNOT BE FOUGHT OR PROVED OTHERWISE!

And that's not cool.

Why do I get the feeling that I misspelled about half the words in that?

[sharingank]

Yeah, that IS really freaking irritating...especially when that's the ONLY argument they can come up with. It's like, GET SOME NEW MATERIAL, PLEASE!!! SHOW ME SOME PROOF, DAMN IT!!!

::stomps off swearing and throwing things::

[Smiter]

I know! So many of those supporters are really NaruHina/SasuSaku fans in disguise... Bah. I also hate it when they say a pairing will happen without giving any solid evidence.

I grew to love NaruSaku because the manga showed how it was growing, how the two genins interacted, the tough love Sakura gives Naruto and how the guy loves her so much and will do anything to make sure she's safe.

I bet that the NaruHinas/SasuSakus are secretly terrified of what will happen in the next few manga chapters.

Because you just know that once Sakura realises her feelings and tells Naruto...

It's going to be the end of the world for NaruHina and others.

*barfs many times* (uh....)
Besides, Naruto and Hinata don't even fit well together. She's too shy, he's too energetic. She needs someone passively sensitive and Naruto needs someone rambuctious.
Same with SasuSaku (*barfs*). Love is about finding the best in people and living with their worst. Sakura isn't really Sakura around Sasuke. She's some freakish retard. (heck, she put out Ino for that bastard.) That's why it'll never work between them.
*writes a scientific paper on this*

[hokuten]

Yeah and then all the NaruHina's and SasuSaku fans will shout out that Kishimoto has betrayed them.

Heck I went onto a Naruto fanart site that was full of NaruHina and SasuSaku fan art and the person who ran the site said that if NaruHina didn't happen that she would consider Kishimoto a sadist.

That's sad that's very very sad.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

wow ... people and their pairings. We all know, that somehow Kin will come back from the dead will seduce Naruto, and everyone will be wrong! If not Naruto, then Kin will seduce Neji!

Do you think Anime/Manga will lose a lot of their readers if NaruSaku happens? Since all theses NaruHina/SasuSaku people will stop reading, and get pissed since it isnt going to happen their way?

Nah, I think that Kishi will let the NaruSaku in gradually, so the people adapt. (You know, by showing Naruto really happy with Sakura.) Then I think they won't be NaruHina/SasuSaku fans anymore. *barfs*

[hokuten]

yea, thats true. You never want to just lay something out right away, it had to build so people will appreciate it.

LOL!!! Sasgay doing the 180, would be very terrible. He's all giddy, and happy, and helpful, and very open. Add CSL2 with Make-up and lipstick?!

Sasgay: HI guys! I'm feeling SUPER!!!

[Smiter]

Yeah, I see people adapting when Naruto and Sakura start to grow closer. They'd see what Sakura is really like and that she's a cool character around Naruto (thus dwindling the number of Sakura haters). And they would see Naruto really cares about her and is happy with her.

I mean, I remember when Aethos and I used to debate a lot in Naruto talk. We actually swung a fair few undecided people and even some SakuLee fans our way when we showed how Naruto and Sakura were getting closer!

Sasuke doing the 180 would be VERY scary. Terrifying. I think even Sakura and Ino would run away screaming.

*lays on floor twitching*

I HATE boy bands! They need to DIE!

*sics Gaara on them and watches him gleefully tear them apart*

Slow down Gaara-san, it's much better to kill them slowly.

Gaara: *smirks evilly*

Yeah, it was good to open peoples' eyes to how the manga really goes. A lot of N***H*** and S***S***s kept quoting scenes that NEVER happened. One even said that Sasuke was willing to ask Sakura to help him get out of the ground when they were being tested by Kakashi at the Genin selection exams! Aethos and I simply showed the manga and proved her wrong.

You sometimes wonder if they were drinking/smoking something when they came up with those non-existent scenes.

We were good, Aethos. The only pairing to have actual evidence as well!
