I will like to add that "narrative feint" was also used in Avatar. Remember when Aang kissed Katara the 2nd time during the fire nation play??? She didn't accepted him because of their current situation in the war. The fans thought she has fallen for Zuko because she has come to accept him especially when he helped her find the man who killed her mother. Then in the final episode during Zuko's fight with Azula it looked like she developed feelings for him. But that's not how it ended, she chose Aang.

To the Zutara fans it "looked" like Katara had feelings for him. To us Kataangers it was Katara being as caring as she was with everyone. I don't think a narrative feint was being used in this example because the creators of the show did not intend on having the scenes interpret the way Zutara fans saw it. But I get your point.

EmperorZero originally made that comment on NF in the wake of 615. It was a good read back then because a lot of NS fans were depressed as hell. LOL good times

Cool cool. I never really browsed the NF forums; those threads move way too fast for me to keep track of. But yeah EmperorZero has a great insight into all this even when others in the community were getting depressed.

 

Thank you finally someone understands! The reason Kishimoto pulling the narrative feint is not on purpose but he's simply doing it because he wants to surprise us in the end. Even with Mina/Kushi parallel or showing how Sakura feels for Naruto and for Sasuke, he still want us to be surprise. There has to be at least one more NS moment which it will be bigger than anything else(maybe it will be Naruto confessing to Sakura), but it will happen after the war. Kishi really wants to think that Sakura might still like Sasuke and when we least expected, it will happen. Then everyone's reaction will be" WTF I thought she was going to be with Sasuke but she chose Naruto". And the Japanese fan will say" Yep already saw that coming for years" but he will still be surprise.

Yeah for us this won't really be much of a surprise because we've seen so many NS moments throughout the history of this manga for us to be well prepared for it. We can only offer our complete joy and satisfaction when/if the pairing is confirmed. Hopefully we see the NS community grow when the manga ends. Maybe some of the casual fans who only watch the anime will accept the pairing much more positively than the more hardcore fans would.

I feel like unless Sakura and Sasuke or Naruto and Hinata are completely separated, as if on different planes of existence, only then will some people calm down XD Any time there's even the most remote of interaction it's like "omg Kishi is trolling". Just recognize that sometimes, those two are seen together. Besides, any interaction of that nature is unlikely in canon, even if once again Sasuke's just frowning and being generally disinterested. It would have fit better if this was a part one picture--now there is such a rift between Sasuke and the notion of 'team seven' that a simple picture of Sasuke and Sakura riding a horse is out of place. It may just be for the sole reason that Naruto needed to be in focus, thus Sakura couldn't be seen riding with him (though I don't see why she can't have her own horse, but maybe it's to go with Western cliches). 

 

Don't forget, we had that fantasy picture, which was way more awesome. 

[六道仙人]

the 615 period was like the great depression of 1929.

 

 

@rocci

I mean sometimes it's like kishi adores to walk a steep path while he's making the story pretty obvious....

Example: The manga tell that Sakura is more focused on Naruto than Sasuke. Meanwhile he made a fanservice cover where she is on the horse with Sasuke and blushing (for whatever reason).

 

Or just all that story about Tobi-Obito-Madara. Or Nagato-Pain-Yahiko, etc...

I just noticed that Luffyq1 has the same post on the whole 615 fiasco. Wow, you really kept it, huh.

What do you mean?

You provided the link to emperorzeo's post on 615 yet that was like 2 years ago. So you kept that link, didn't you?

[shika1]

What would make me doubt Narusaku is change the feelings of Naruto, and this has not happened yet .

When emperor's post was brought up I immediately remembered where it came from. Just did a little rewind in the NF and found it.

So you went digging? Ok. Fair enough. Those were the days. Funny, because I was actually weaker to handle. I was going bananas on predictions.

I remember some dude was in complete panic mode in that thread lol. And people think the fanart that was posted to the last movie is Kishi's sketches lol.

Lol well it was going crazy over everywhere. You know what it is. I know people are sadly weak (come on! You guys are built on steel!) but I think when it comes to something that feels new, it's hard to register in our head. It's like "Error! Error! Error!" I mean it was the first touch Hinata ever got from Naruto, so yeah.

[Kakashi-Sensei]

It feels bad to see everyone saying SasuSaku is canon now and that NaruSaku had is chance but now it's gone in all social media and NF forum... I want to prove them wrong but with the recent chapters and covers they have the upper hand in arguments

[Hanabi]

uhh why are naruto and sasuke pinned to the ground when kakashi and obito can run?

People didn't take their first physical contact into mind considering that it ended on a break that nearly broke the spirits, people invading the NS tag and everyone else pretty much saying NH is canon and anyone disagreeing with it are in denial. It was NS against the world. God damn, just thinking about all of that hurts. I think that's when everyone in the NS tag became a family.

You know what sadly true. The fact they come here to dictate us to tell us how we should feel about the situation. It's like why should we. We don't do that to them. Well not all of us but I hardly hear anything about it. It's like we are being treated the underdog. Well good, because we always fight back stronger than ever.

It's funny because I was going to get ready to make a special tribute but I will wait until we all recover and something good on the way. Which remind me, I still drink that drink. Lol.

I know what you mean.
That's why I am not going to be discussing pairings for couple of weeks, until we get a moment.

you're understimating the Rin's will.

Pretty much. Though I wonder if the breaking process on Obito will go slow due to plot because you know, he needs to say last words and/or recollect the memories before ultimately dies. Know what I mean?
