Lol that was a GOOD chapter because sakura finally snapped some sense into naruto. I have not got a clue whats gonna happen to naruto and sakura but when sakura faces sasuke I hope he doesnt kill her please kishi dont separate the lovers from live and death. Everyone sakura dying facing against sasuke is my absoulute fear for narusaku so yeah im worried. cos it looks for me its getting close. T_T!

Its obvious sakuras definately in love and she definatley cares for naruto to kill her old time ex-crush now criminal just for naruto she truely loves him to protect his safety for him. bless she tried hard for naruto to listen but If naruto told the thing to do with madara saying stuff about the elders things wouldve gone smoothly besides why would I believe madara he could be lying he could not. I think madaras gonna just use sasuke to capture naruto to extract the bijuu then he dead to get revenge on not just konoha but the world for the uchiha clan but madaras plan will get foiled by naruto saying Hes lying about the elders sasuke hes lying ect ect.. I think naruto will pop out to sasuke just as about sakura's about to get killed by her not saying where naruto would be. well thats my future prediction for the chapters lol XD I think its rubish but its whats in my head. I dunno so yeah correct me if im wrong :] narusaku will happen but not just yet naruto needs senses snapped into him

For the love of...


I don't know whether to be surprised or just plain old exasperated. I'm gonna go clear my thoughts. |:|

[catsi563]

thoughts so far

Sakura confronting Sasuke is coming soon.

But its not going to be a fight as much as everyone thinks. the frist part at least. its going to be the confrontation that I thinks been coming for awhile now. Sakura confronting Sasuke about the day they became a team. the truth will be revealed and Sakura will make a new choice and it will be solid choice.

thats where the second part of the confrontation will happen. Sasuke has two things going right now plot wise. his desire for revenge manifested in his words to madara that hed kill evrything precious to anyone who didnt undersatnd his pain. ((sound familiar))

And his want to at least in some fashion obtain/capture Naruto forhis own agenda instead of akatsukis. In this hell use Sakura as hostage and Kiba and Lee as messengers possibly.

Also we have a wild card in the mix that evryones forgettiing.

Karin

shes with sasuke so this is going to be very interesting.

[James S Cassidy]

You know....now that I think about it....I have a feeling we are going to see Karin slap Sakura......to which I would reply...."Ummm am I supposed to be turned on by that?"

Nah just kidding. Sorry had to make a joke

[catsi563]

You know ironically enough and all joking aside. She may do just that.

Slap Sakura. not physically but metaphorically speaking.

too use Ciardhas expression it may be Karin who gives Sakura the emotional Clueby4 upside the head she needs to clear up a few things before Sasuke drops the it wasnt me bomb on her.

Karin ahs always been very centered around Sasuke. Shes also not afraid to speak her mind. and you can rest assured shell give Sakura and team and earful when the time comes.

[RyrineaHaruno]

I to think that Karin might have something to do with her growing up, because of her attitude towards Sasuke. I also think it will be better for her to see what the bench panel. I also think, that Naruto might go after her because her life will be in danger.

^ lol it's somewhat of an improvment.

Anyway,
Interesting turn of events.. I'm happy to just sit back and see where this leads.

[Cupcake-chan]

O.O

I'll tell you the truth, I liked their conversation in this chapter more than the last one. Now I know that it's Sakura, after all it's very her to do something like that. YAY! She's back on the road.

[nekovi]

Now that I'm back from school, I shall give my full opinion so far.

1.) Is anyone here thinking of the Yaoi fangirls? I can hear them all sqee-ing about what Naruto says about Sasuke, etc, right now I must admit... I had an ungodly smirk that whole part of the convo. Man crushes, blah, blah, blah. *Is a mild NaruSasu fan as well*

2.) This chapter made the confession seem much more realistic to me honestly, now I'm really happy! I'm glad Sakura held herself together really well, and it seems Naruto's the one in denial...

3.) I do wish Naruto had told them about Itachi and the Elders... would've been interesting. I bet Sakura will hear about it sometime though, maybe even from Sasuke himself that would be cooooooool!

4.) The Tsuchikage is awesome!

and uh... I wonder when it's gonna get back to Team Hawk, and Sasuke + Karin in Madara's realm... in his head
I wanna know what Sui-kun's "plan" is, because I have this horrible image of his plan literally being "CHAAAAAAAAAARGE!!!" and just running into the room full of Kages or something...
I need to know what it is so that... so that I can get rid of the image XD

SASUKARIN need more development RIGHT NAOZ! It will be interesting to finally see a meeting between Team Hawk and Team Kakashi/Team Sakura/Rookie 9 etc...
I wonder if old Team 7 looking upon Sasuke "New Troupe" could be awesome? I think it could.

I uh...might be hanged for this but, it's a risk I'm gonna take...Has anyone considering Sasuke killing Sakura might be instrumental to Naruto's development as a ninja ? I love narusaku as much as the next person but, no one could deny that Sasuke killing Sakura wouldn't be a serious blow to Naruto's absurd belief in people. Naruto is still SO immature and I don't see that changing without something terrible happening to him and what could be worse than that ?

After all the character and fighting skills Sakura has you think she can't last angst Sasuke?

Good thought, but I think the only main character that will get killed is Naruto. Not a forever death though. I just don't see Sasuke killing Sakura without Naruto showing up to save her. Then again, everyone's life is on the line with Madara and his bijuu army.

I didn't say that at all. :/
I'm speaking STRICTLY from a story development standpoint not in terms of Sakura's skill.

I think that is a stretch to think that will be in the Development of the terms.

[Zin]

er...not exactly sure what you mean by that but, I meant in Naruto's development as a character which coincides with the story since well...who else is going to have the ability to fight bijuus ? Naruto still has his ridiculous faith in Sasuke and he's still putting Sasuke before the ENTIRE world which is just *boggle*. Naruto needs a serious shock as to Sasuke's true character and considering how dense he is I don't know what else would do it.

I don't think Sakura's death would be a key to Naruto's development. I think he has grown plenty without having her as a romantic influence. Naruto also mentions in this chapter that he understands Sasuke a little better now...the pain that thirst for revenge that he feels. I think losing someone like Sakura, especially after her confession, may put the seed of vengeance in his heart. There have been many times he's reacted violently when someone he is close to is hurt. I think besides Jiraiya, Sakura is the next closest to him. He has been teetering on the edge throughout the series on whether to choose peace or violence/revenge. And most times his humanity has been able to pull him back in the heat of the moment. He is still the child of prohecy and I prefer that her support and love be we makes him choose his path to peace.

Because we've all seen how easy Kishi kills of one of the Konoha 11 right? He didn't even kill Hinata off, so I don't see Sakura getting killed anytime soon, though she might get seriously injured and it might effect her relationship with Naruto for going after someon he is trying to save.

Also I think the death of Jiaraya was meant to be the development you were talking about, And his beliefs still stood true, Jiaraya was the closest thing he knew to a father, he spent 2 1/2 years with him training, so his bond with him could be bigger than his bond with Sakura. Yet in the end instead of letting his anger get to him, he stood by his own beliefs and confronted the man who inspired the book that he got his name from, and actually managed to change the persons view to his own.

[Insurrection]

Reading about Kishi saying the manga was no way over put my optimism back into my thinking of these two chapters, long term is very good. If the chapter is the same. We should definately get to see the Sakura arc hopefully, but looking at Samehada right now is swaying me to that fight. OH MY GOD That looks so freakin awesome!

However I have three theories that are pretty standard about Sakura's future.
1) Death, it looks like she's on a suicide mission, but given history of characters we wouldn't know. I hope he doesn't for obvious reasons.
2) Capture/Betrayal, Madara is no fool and he could get the one person he needs to get Naruto so either A) Sakura is a prisoner B) Tricked or C) It's willing but only to save Naruto by betraying the Uchiha in the end. Then there is always the theory that Danzo captures her to blackmail Naruto, there was the group of nin hiding aparently in the spoiler.
3) She leaves with her answer/ changed young woman whatnot. I'd give it 50/50

I'm still full NaruSaku, I'm not giving up on that, especially with what the anti-Sakura and NaruHinatards put me through last week. So it won't end NaruSaku, and looks like the big winner this week is NaruSasu followed by NaruSaku.....and NaruHina, oh wait Hinata wasn't in this chapter what a surprise! See you at chapter 587!

By the way, anyone one else notice Naruto got out of there without a hit on the head. We know why...hopefully. (Man, I really want to be 100% when talking about this stuff, but what are you gonna do?)

Naruto isn't putting Sasuke before the entire world. In the training arcs he used Sasuke as motivation to become stronger, and then used his strength to protect the village from Pain. He's just not willing to cast him off as an evil villain without facing him first and hearing his side of the story.

And I don't think Sakura's death would really develop Naruto in a positive way. Jiraya's death seemed to served that purpose and if someone else that close to Naruto were to die he would only feel grief. Whatever immaturity Naruto still shows is because of his young age, and not because he's a bad ninja or because he lacks some kind of serious shock. He's dealt with all kinds of hardship his whole life, I don't think it's fair to say that somehow Naruto is naive to the ways of the world, especially after his encounter with Nagato.

The problem is even after all of that Naruto is STILL seriously lacking. He continues to fight in a straight line instead of at a curve (there's a certain irony about that considering his name lol..). I'm not saying I want Naruto to turn into a Sasuke just that he needs to learn more than one elemental and more than just a handful of jutsus. He still thinks he can get away with raw power and it's annoying. Not only that but mentally he's still extremely immature there has been growth no one can deny that but, he's still excessively impatient and impulsive.
