well i really hope he don't make naruto love hinata out of nowhere in the end(i mean the only valid reason for it to happen will be the confession of hinata and naruto only caring for her as he does for all his friends), but the thing about sasusaku is I can't come to understand why did kishi put the panel in chapter 540 if he is going to do narusaku in the end where sakura was thinking about sasuke only(no thought about naruto at all) even after he tried to kill her so from sakura's point of view sasuke trying to kill her meant nothing and she still loves him which is also a drawback for narusaku because it is kind of same as naruhina(fake confession and recent chapters are really taking all the development narusaku had from romantic point of view and sending it just in direction of no more than friendship)

whereas sasuke showed care for sakura in part 1 and tried to kill her in part 2 (which is really a backdrop for sasusaku), but the problem is if naruto do change sasuke maybe(fully assuming) after hearing naruto that how much sakura loves him he might change his mind about sakura(I so don't want sasusaku to happen but it seems it might end with naruto dying making sasuke end up with sakura,after all who else has he got if he comes back, and their is no way he can revive his clan without a girl...LOL).


I can come to conclusion that naruto has highest chances of dying at the end becz now his dream and job is not to be hokage but to save his friends and bring peace and i think only his with his death he can take all tailed beasts along with him leaving world in peace(i mean it seems he will become sage of six paths or even stronger and i don't think someone this strong will be allowed to be lived which will lead to unbalance in power among villages)

whatever the case is what i am seeing is

1. least possible-naruhina(naruto dies it will be impossible and naruto stop loving sakura wil be shocking because he never gave up on sasuke)
2. possible but not highly-narusaku(have largest development but fake confession and recent chapters are really showing no romantic feelings from sakura whereas naruto has kind of stopped thinking in romantic direction which is really hanging all the fans up which happened especially after hinata's confession)
3. highly possible-sasusaku(i don't know why but i can see only this pairing happening becz sasuke evn if currently is a bad boy will turn good after all second part was all about bringing him back, then kishi can show that naruto tells him how much sakura really loves him and he acknowledge her love, naruto will probably die after defeating 10 tails or something and sakura will probably end up with sasuke)

Moreover whatever we say it was quite clear in chapter 540 that sakura loves only sasuke coz if she loved naruto even a bit their should have been an image of naruto in her mind but.NOOO

This is only my thinking even though i got many proofs that narusaku has highest development and only this pairing will make sense the fake confession and recent chapters really took nearly most of my hope(chapters 540,573 etc) for narusaku whereas like in many mangas such as DBZ, Fairy tail the bad person when becomes good gets the good girl which he showed no romantic feelings earlier

for eg vegeta got bulma(dragonballz)
gajeel got levy(fairy tail)
jellal got erza(fairy tail)

not saying to compare but just telling in manga bad guys who showed no interest earlier generally gets the girl who had a crush on him or something like that in the end!!

moreover sakura already said everything naruto has done for her uptil now had made her fall in love with him and if she was still not able to love naruto i don't see how will kishi make sakura come to love naruto in end whereas sasuke might have tried to kill her but never said anything how he felt about her or anyoe else and thus he might in the end say he cares for her or even after his fight with kabuto he tells something to itachi!! After all kishi is totally not going in narusaku direction now!!!


Although i will keep on hoping for narusaku till the end and it will e really sad to see naruto not getting sakura becz he loved her so much

I also agree. Naruto worked his butt off in making Sakura a happy person, and there's a 50% chance he will never have her. That panel where she was thinking about Sasuke was to clarify to the audience that Sakura's romantic feelings for Sasuke never subsided. This has got some NS fans like me roused. Kishi decided to play drama and is going to flip the coin to see who Sakura is going to be paired up with. And this gives us the indication that he's bashing us NS fans rather if it was intended or not. In other words, Sakura has never apologize to Naruto yet concerning her confession to him. How will she explain this to Naruto when she hooks up with Sasuke at the end of the manga, when she could have apologize to him after the Team 7 reunion stating that she was doing him a favor and her heart will always be Sasuke's?

This will break Naruto's heart and make her character look like a fool for those who have witness Sakura's half falsely confession because i profoundly know after hearing Sakura telling Naruto she loves him. One of those reason's why Naruto had that mental break down because he probably asked himself the question, "What if Sakura-chan was telling the truth?" Which I hope Naruto has finally see Sasuke for who he is. I knows now after experiencing Sasuke trying to kill Sakura. He finally declared to himself that Sasuke's relationship with Sakura won't be a healthy one, and he must come to a decision to kill Sasuke in order to protect her from further harm and possibly have Sakura hate him for the rest of his life.

My opinion is the worse days for NS Sakura is yet to come.

And I want to say that welcome to H&E

How can you tell that she loves him. And she won't in future. I am sorry if i am verry rude. But that realy hurts

I thought it was obvious. -> http://www.narutobas...anga/Naruto/540
As for the future, I dont know what will happen. Before war arc I was convinced that NS will happen, currently I can only say that its chances are a little bit higher than other pairings. For me, it looked like Kishimoto wanted to make NS canon,
but editors made him change his plans becuase of NH and SS popularity. Its not like he must give any big development to them, their supporters would be happy either way.

In short, I would love NS to become canon, but Im not that much optimistic about that.

I think their are merely any chances left for him to get sakura now becz the manga is coming to its end and their might be hardly anything left naruto or any guy could do to make a girl love him in addition to what naruto has done.
I am starting to kind of hate sakura for this. Naruto has done so many things for her and she just sasuke,sasuke,sasuke!! What is wrong with kishi making her like this she seems so selfish sometimes and i particularly started hating her after that fake confession but only want narusaku to happen because naruto really loves her and i can't see him sad once again(even if he will show he is happy because she is happy, but noone can be really happy seeing the one they love getting married to someone else). I really think naruto should get sakura and become whatever he wants at the end of manga with proper terms and sakura chosing him even if sasuke returns and not if sasuke dies which will make naruto a kind of second choice


Right now if kishi don't put some real romantic thoughts of sakura about naruto AND naruto about sakura their will only be 1% chances for him to end with sakura moreover it really seems naruto might die in the end.

Seeing recent chapters i can only pray to God plz make narusaku happen because it chances are decreasing by so great amount nowadays.

I also wonder why does interviews never ask kishi whether naruto really loves sakura or something like this. I mean i have only seen kishi saying

1. I want to give hinata a chance
2. Sakura really loves sauke(this one got me pretty mad and sad, this also proves that he might be going for sasusaku!!)

[ramenanmitsu]

Why are we even discussing the possibility of a character having more than one partner??

Sorry

Note: I was not twisting your own words. Just felt a bit deja-vu

Lol, I actually forgotten about Lee/Saku. It does make things problematic. But a threesome is more than just the first person having two mates. Those two other mates must also become intimate with each other: for instance SakuX Hina and NaruXSasu. You have two options, both Hinata and Sakura must also date, or with the Naru/Saku/Sasu threesome. Naruto becomes Naruko (fem Naru), or Sasuko (fem Sasuke) because i know the canon version of their character would never be gay. Though with Izunagi, Sasuke can temporarily change his gender so he or she can mate Naruto, and back into a male for Sakura--very lame if you must ask.

However, a three way relationship does't have to be a threesome pairing.

So in your logic....

Sakura and Hinata doesn't have to date each other to share Naruto as long as they don't declare each other a second mate. They can have one more guy. Rather they the same gender or not, it makes no difference if Saku and Hina are lovers, and they will lose the extra guy privilege, and will result in cheating.

Naruto and Lee doesn't have to date each other to share Sakura as long as they don't declare each other a second mate. They can have one more girl. Rather they the same gender or not, it makes no difference if Naruto and Lee are lovers, and they will lose the extra girl privilege, and will result in cheating.

Okay.

So you believe it's reasonable that Sakura and Hinata shares Naruto in the end, I believe it's reasonable Lee and Naruto shares Sakura in the end if using your logic. Let's leave it at that since we have reached an agreement. Thank you very much

I'm sure NS will happen.

But in my case, the way Kishi portrays NS is making me start to lose interest. NS is going to look like an ass-pull with the way it is going now. This is not the type of NS I was shipping for.

The problem is, Kishi doesn't want to end the shipping wars, therefore making Sakura still have lingering feelings for Sasuke. He made it so that he won't have to resolve the issue until the very end with Naruto's "How can I? I can't even keep my promises." The accused will be guilty unless proven otherwise, meaning we have to go with "Sakura is still in love with Sasuke" until she says otherwise, which is only going to happen in the end. Sakura confirming that she doesn't have romantic feelings for Sasuke at the very end AND then suddenly falling in love with Naruto looks very rushed.

NS was going steady and fine at the beginning of part 2 and they had potential to become like a Minato/Kushina couple. Now, I feel like I'm just shipping it for the sake of shipping.

To give you my opinion, I would rather have Sasuke replace Lee. Common, pink hair children with bushy brows Plus Naruto and Sasuke have a better interaction in the manga. (I'm not into Yaoi with this lol*yuck*)

Chances are, he won't ask Sakura out because he respects Sakura's 'fake' love for Sasuke. The way I see it, NS depends on Sakura's decision. The manga is coming to an end. And Kishi has proven throughout the course of the manga that Sasuke must have everything first. He had a family first. He had a solo training with Kakashi first (before the final round of the Chuunin Exams). In part 2, he had the first power up and jutsu, and know he may have Sakura first. Possibly taking her virginity (that should have been Naruto) and having several children before Sakura realizes she never signed up to be a sex doll and a tool for restore his clan in the first place, which she never brought that up in the iron Country when face Sasuke. That is why I think her love for Sasuke is nothing but an illusion, and alwas has been nothing but a silly crush. She hasn't even proved she wanted to help Sasuke restore his clan. All she wanted was to hold his hand, so that she wouldn't be treated as an outcast.

This is why her character will be tragic.

Shes going to finally regret for ever being Sasuke's property. But I must ask, do you think Naruto deserves Sasuke's sloppy seconds? Do you think Naruto should mop up after Sakura's mistakes. If so, then i don't see Sakura deserve to take Naruto's virginity away.

Actually the things u wrote might be true behind the scenes if it was ever real, but the thing is Nartuo is a manga(not a real world) so definitely the person who ends with anyone(i mean sasuke with sakura,sakura with naruto), kishi will show them loving each other truely not for the sake of sex.

And yes i don't think sakura deserves naruto but i don't think anyone deserves naruto seeing how great person naruto is
hinata never stood up for naruto properly if thought about before the pein arc(i mean just thinking and encouraging him in her mind was never enough whereas sakura atleast started to encourage him and started oto be their for him even if only in friendly way uptil now)

Naruto became my favourite character even greater than Goku(i mean many ppl still like goku more but i like naruto better than anyone-I will definiteely feel sad if naruto don't gets and becomes what he wants)

where naruto deserved love of every person in narutoverse i think sasuke deserve love and care of noone(neither sakura nor and never naruto's)

According to me the people who were with naruto really from the beginning were
kurama(atleast he never let naruto die..LOL),minato,kushina,jiraiya,iruka,ramen shop owner and his daughter!!! and maybe kakashi and third hokage

Rest all became naruto's care taker for kind of their own reasons

sakura came close to naruto for she knew only naruto can bring sasuke back
hinata just admired him coz he saved her when they were little
tsunade just likes naruto because she finds naruto to be similar to her lover(DAN) and Brother(nawaki)


Let leave who deserves whom now and here because noone deserves naruto(coz he is just someone like GOD, I mean noone except GOD can be such a gud person who goes on sacrificing his happinness for his friends).

We should only think which pairings might end up and for me no matter how much i want narusaku to happen(plz make it happen kishi) i am starting to see narusaku as nothing more than a delusional pairing

Okay this is just plain ridiculous you're saying Sasuke is going to have Sakura first and claim her virginity okay now I know someone has been reading WAY too many fan fiction. There is no way Sakura is going to be with Sasuke she has shown it she loves Naruto she was telling the truth in her confession as for 540 that wasn't a SS moment but an anti SS moment why? because she was thinking of Sasuke in a negative light her expression says it all that she doesn't like the fact that she used to have a crush. That she used to think he was a cool guy, I wouldn't be surprise if she feels guilty for ever liking him or for failing to kill him. The way I see it she's hurt for Sasuke the same way Naruto is, to me what Sakura feels is that emotional bond with Sasuke. She's just like Naruto when it comes to cherishing bonds and her bond with team seven is still very much alive (she said it clearly that she wants team seven to smile again). Not to mention Kishi isn't going to ruin her character making her go to Sasuke after he tried to kill her several times. I'm sorry you may be a NS fan but I have a feeling that you're anti Sakura fan that probably enjoys bashing her character and writing fan fiction that completely diminish her character.

Sakura is supposed to be the most human character in the manga the fact that she still feels emotionally attach to Sasuke is very normal. However 540 is a sign of the beginning of the turning point of her character development, that she will have to choose between keeping Naruto's friendship or Sasuke's. She made her choice who she loves and wants to protect when she confessed to Naruto. Depending on Sasuke's development during the fight with Kabuto will determine if Sakura will choose for good. If you want to bash Sakura then do it in your fan fiction not here. I just don't like the type of NS fan who hates Sakura and only sees her as a trophy for Naruto nothing else, sorry if I was bashing but sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who sees Sakura's huge change of character instead of still seeing her as a twelve year old Sasuke fan girl.

Quite frankly, the two special people who have brought Naruto into the world deserves Naruto. I'll personal trade in almost every life to have Minato and Kushina Resurrected and be by his side.

I thought i will underline and bold the point i wanted to comment upon. As much as a big fan i am of narusaku i am a person to feel reality and the reality in that chapter 540 was sakura was not ashamed that she had a crush on sasuke but instead she became sad that the person she loves has become a bad person which also kind of tells that if ever sasuke comes back she might be going for sasuke and not naruto.

Chapter 540 can only be said anti-narusaku moment and not anti-sasusaku mooment. The only anti-sasusaku moment was when sasuke tried to kill sakura or when sakura showed great care for naruto during his fight with orochimaru in 4 tailed form!!

I also want to believe that it was anti-sasusaku but the reality can't be changed that she thought about sauke because she loves him and even if she thought about sauke in negative way and was ashamed of herself not able to kill sasuke why didn't she have an image of naruto in her mind(if she had that then i would have believed she is starting to love naruto but no damn kishi is making sakura go after sasuke at all costs not thinking about narusaku at all)

Moreover her dialogue in chapter 573 was also not a romantic one, it was only similar to many others(except hinata) where she was thinking about naruto just as a friend!!!

moreover their is hardly time left for kishi to show romantic development between narusaku after fake confession of sakura(which was fake as much as i want to deny it but reality can't and won't change) and since now he is showing no romantic feelings on behalf of sakura whenver he gets a chance i think he is really going to ship sasusaku after all that is the most favourite het pairing in japan. Don't know whether he will go by the fandom or not but it really is going in direction of sasusaku becz once sasuke becomes good(which has to happen coz this was all about bringing him back) i don't think sakura will come to naruto

As much as a big fan i am of narusaku i am a person to feel reality and the reality in that chapter 540 was sakura was not ashamed that she had a crush on sasuke but instead she became sad that the person she loves has become a bad person which also kind of tells that if ever sasuke comes back she might be going for sasuke and not naruto.

That's not a reality but your own opinion to what you think Sakura thought.

"Having a sad face when thinking of Sasuke" can go either ways.
It could mean that she became sad that the person she loves has become evil and if Sasuke ever comes back as a good person she will be happy and go for him.
It could also mean that she realized being in love with Sasuke is never going to make her happy because he is not a "great guy". Giving her a wake-up call to move on.

Which ever way, it is up to how you see the scene, and that is not a "reality" but an "opinion".

Anyways I'm not agreeing nor disagreeing with you. Just want to point out about your use of wording

EDIT: I'm sorry that the internet must have made you view everything about NaruSaku so negatively, and yet made you think "canon is heading SasuSaku direction" even when Sasuke has tried to kill Sakura. Poor you, I hope this FC will help you. Oh and you don't have to put in "as much as im a big fan of narusaku" and "even though I want narusaku to happen" in every single paragraph. It's not like we're going to accuse you of being a disguise NaruSaku fan just because you remove it. And well, nobody is going to bash you just because you remove the "crying emoticon" to show how sad you are of NS not happening. Just saying, since I know how troublesome using emoticons are.

Welcome aboard.

Okay this is just plain ridiculous you're saying Sasuke is going to have Sakura first and claim her virginity okay now I know someone has been reading WAY too many fan fiction. There is no way Sakura is going to be with Sasuke she has shown it she loves Naruto she was telling the truth in her confession as for 540 that wasn't a SS moment but an anti SS moment why? because she was thinking of Sasuke in a negative light her expression says it all that she doesn't like the fact that she used to have a crush. That she used to think he was a cool guy, I wouldn't be surprise if she feels guilty for ever liking him or for failing to kill him. The way I see it she's hurt for Sasuke the same way Naruto is, to me what Sakura feels is that emotional bond with Sasuke. She's just like Naruto when it comes to cherishing bonds and her bond with team seven is still very much alive (she said it clearly that she wants team seven to smile again). Not to mention Kishi isn't going to ruin her character making her go to Sasuke after he tried to kill her several times. I'm sorry you may be a NS fan but I have a feeling that you're anti Sakura fan that probably enjoys bashing her character and writing fan fiction that completely diminish her character.

Sakura is supposed to be the most human character in the manga the fact that she still feels emotionally attach to Sasuke is very normal. However 540 is a sign of the beginning of the turning point of her character development, that she will have to choose between keeping Naruto's friendship or Sasuke's. She made her choice who she loves and wants to protect when she confessed to Naruto. Depending on Sasuke's development during the fight with Kabuto will determine if Sakura will choose for good. If you want to bash Sakura then do it in your fan fiction not here. I just don't like the type of NS fan who hates Sakura and sees her as a trophy for Naruto nothing else, sorry if I was bashing but sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who sees Sakura's huge change of character instead of still seeing her as a twelve year old Sasuke fan girl.

I get the fact every thing I post seems ridiculous. It's Kishi favoritism he has for Sasuke's character has been a thorn in my back. But if you look at fanfiction and compare it with the canon manga. Somethings that happen in fanfiction became canon in manga. Like Naruto befriending Kurama and Karin is an Uzumaki. And what is stopping him from doing what I post the above? Sakura is normally human because she can't control who she first has a crush on. But it's not normal to become Sasuke's mate and not apologizing to Naruto for completely telling him she got over Sasuke. At this point, she should have already chosen who's she going to spend her life with like you said Naruto. But DK has already mention that Sakura must verbally declare she has no romantic feelings for Sasuke after the war. So she is trapped between the two boys she loves dearly.

I know bashing Sakura offends all Sakura lovers. And I apologize for that.

Simple. He's stubbornly set in the mindset that she's in love with Sasuke.

Exactly, and he feels he can't do it til he saves Sasuke for her. Naruto's said he wants to save Sasuke for himself as well, but I get this feeling he had originally wanted to save Sasuke for Sakura most of all since he doesn't think she could love him like he thinks she loves Sasuke. Though naruto's started to see how far Sasuke has fallen, and knows if push comes to shove, he will have to stop him, even kill him if need be, like he said to Gaara when they fought one another.

[Phantom_999]

I also agree. Naruto worked his butt off in making Sakura a happy person, and there's a 50% chance he will never have her. That panel where she was thinking about Sasuke was to clarify to the audience that Sakura's romantic feelings for Sasuke never subsided. This has got some NS fans like me roused. Kishi decided to play drama and is going to flip the coin to see who Sakura is going to be paired up with. And this gives us the indication that he's bashing us NS fans rather if it was intended or not. In other words, Sakura has never apologize to Naruto yet concerning her confession to him. How will she explain this to Naruto when she hooks up with Sasuke at the end of the manga, when she could have apologize to him after the Team 7 reunion stating that she was doing him a favor and her heart will always be Sasuke's?

This will break Naruto's heart and make her character look like a fool for those who have witness Sakura's half falsely confession because i profoundly know after hearing Sakura telling Naruto she loves him. One of those reason's why Naruto had that mental break down because he probably asked himself the question, "What if Sakura-chan was telling the truth?" Which I hope Naruto has finally see Sasuke for who he is. I knows now after experiencing Sasuke trying to kill Sakura. He finally declared to himself that Sasuke's relationship with Sakura won't be a healthy one, and he must come to a decision to kill Sasuke in order to protect her from further harm and possibly have Sakura hate him for the rest of his life.

My opinion is the worse days for NS Sakura is yet to come.

And I want to say that welcome to H&E

No it only shows she still thinks of him. Still has feelings for him? Yes. Going to get together with him? Well you decide that for yourself, But I don't buy it because like I asked earlier, does a person stay with someone they are ashamed of having feelings for? Sakura looked like she felt depressed for ever liking/loving Sasuke romantically. I wanted her to think of Naruto too when 540 happened too, but you can't brush off what you feel just like that, especially with an old friend despite what they've done. If you did it just means you've given up on them, and Sakura did not say she gave up on Sasuke coming back yet did she?

I think their are merely any chances left for him to get sakura now becz the manga is coming to its end and their might be hardly anything left naruto or any guy could do to make a girl love him in addition to what naruto has done.
I am starting to kind of hate sakura for this. Naruto has done so many things for her and she just sasuke,sasuke,sasuke!! What is wrong with kishi making her like this she seems so selfish sometimes and i particularly started hating her after that fake confession but only want narusaku to happen because naruto really loves her and i can't see him sad once again(even if he will show he is happy because she is happy, but noone can be really happy seeing the one they love getting married to someone else). I really think naruto should get sakura and become whatever he wants at the end of manga with proper terms and sakura chosing him even if sasuke returns and not if sasuke dies which will make naruto a kind of second choice


Right now if kishi don't put some real romantic thoughts of sakura about naruto AND naruto about sakura their will only be 1% chances for him to end with sakura moreover it really seems naruto might die in the end.

Seeing recent chapters i can only pray to God plz make narusaku happen because it chances are decreasing by so great amount nowadays.

I also wonder why does interviews never ask kishi whether naruto really loves sakura or something like this. I mean i have only seen kishi saying

1. I want to give hinata a chance
2. Sakura really loves sauke(this one got me pretty mad and sad, this also proves that he might be going for sasusaku!!)

Woah dude. Lets calm down and talk about this calmly. First Sakura has shown LOTS of romantic interest in Naruto through out the series. Has she shown to be fangirling over Sasuke and dreaming of their dates or wedding or any of that stuff for most of part II? She was only thinking of him because she saw him recently and is probably sick to her stomach about how evil he's become, and by his own choice no less. In chapter 540 when she gently let down that generic shinobi he probably reminded her of Sasuke because he was her first crush/love so to speak. You know, I also theorize that she probably did not think Of Naruto because she did not know he was coming. And since she knew he was safe and would not be in any danger, she felt like she needed to focus on other things and Sasuke popped up in her head cause she knew he was in Akatsuki and thought she might have to confront him eventually. And May I point out in 573 She was talking about Naruto like she wanted to see him, to be with him. Doesn't that count for something? But she included everyone else because she has matured and knew this was bigger than just about what she wants, and she understand it's not just her that wants to be with Naruto and fight with him. This involves their entire world and She knows that they friends ALL want to be there for him, not just herself.

Okay this is just plain ridiculous you're saying Sasuke is going to have Sakura first and claim her virginity okay now I know someone has been reading WAY too many fan fiction.

It's alright buddy. *pats back* lots are self doubting right now cause we're not seeing anthing that assures people definitely NS right now. But it's fine. We just keep striving For NS until the moment of truth comes.

No it's not bashing. And I don't think those fanfics were completely far fetched, cause It's a shonen manga and they place high values on friendship and all the like, so Naruto befriending Kurama was not impossible at all. and People speculated Karin was an Uzumaki cause she had red hair which was considered their defining trait.

And also didn't Kushina told Naruto that all members of the Uzumaki clan had red hair, people with said hair color its not that common.

well i don't think their is any time left for kishi to put NS moments now moreover sakura still loves sasuke which was easily proven after the fake confession and i am not able to imagine a scenario now where she will suddenly change her mind to naruto after all what we all thought to be romantic development was really blown off by the fake confession. As for chapter 540 we interpret sakura was sad that she had crush on sasuke which is not true(we just do it because we can't believe that it is such a slap on NARUSAKU). Chapter 573 yeah u might be correct.

Though their is one more big problem that now manga is really at it's climax and i don't see how will kishi suddenly change her feelings towards naruto in romantic way after her fake confession which took so much time and development to make people think she has developed interest in NARUTO but no she has only developed friendly relation and not romantic.

I think it is way more easier to make a person who loved noone to start loving someone whereas making someone(sakura or naruto) develop feelings for someone even after he/she already loves someone so much is really difficult(sakura towards naruto and naruto towards hinata)


As far as i see the only things supporting narusaku right now is mainguyxmaingirl


whereas

sausaku has more chances since when sasuke becomes good he might show feelings for sakura and this pairing was(and might still be) the favourite het pairing in japan so i think kishi is leaning towards sasusaku after all this time and development!!

Yes i still believe and hope narusaku has chances of happening but until some romantic moment is shown(though it seems quite impossible now, i mean war is going on and chapter 540 and naruto really is not showing any romantic feelings) it becoming a reality is nearly impossible.


These are my thoughts and i am not trying to be offensive it's just that i try to find proofs for my favourite pairing by trying to collect proofs against it and get it proved wrong but right now i really don't see a valid reason which proves chapter 540 was anti-sasusaku !!!

[Turson]

What really worries me is that NS doesnt get any new hints, even small ones, unlike SS and NH. From non-biased point of view, currently manga isnt goint in right direction for NS fans, thats for sure.

[Anguyen92]

Hmmmm, ok, well just say for argument's sake, that Sasuke turns good in the end and etc, what will become of Naruto, then?

I figure that Sakura will weight the positives and negatives of the two blokes, and once she does that, then she can make a very good well-thought decision and figure that Naruto edges out Sasuke a lot, and not just because Sasuke went evil once, again we're in that hypothetical situation here. I just can't see a way where Sasuke edges out Naruto for the end main canon pairing. Can anyone?

Okay you're only assuming that SS will happen because Sasuke will become good how can you be so sure? If he does and that's a big IF why does it has to be with Sakura? it's not like she's the only woman in the five countries they are plenty of women to choose from it doesn't necessary means it has to be her not by obligation and also what are the chances that she will make a 180 and jumped into his arms? you're probably expecting that she will forgive Sasuke after he tried to kill her a total of 3 times and the last two times she would have been dead for sure if it wasn't for Naruto and Kakashi. However I am 100% sure he won't become good at least not yet, because there's a reason why Kishi has been developing his character as an antagonist, if he and Itachi defeats Kabuto and somehow they dispell the edo tensei it means bye bye Itachi and just like that Sasuke can go back to his psychopath self resuming his mission to kill everyone on Konoha.

Off topic I'm beginning to think that most of the people that's been posting on this thread who are new and the ones giving negative view of things way more often than normal, wouldn't surprise me that they are SS fans in disguise.

Sasuke will be good, sooner or later. If he wont, it would be Narutos biggest fail. Besides, they are not gonna to kill Kabuto, but to control him via Tsukiyomi. Itachi can release other Edos, talk to Sasuke, and then do it to himself later. I dont really know if Sasuke will live through the war, but he will surely become good again, that one is clear.

No really. If you want, I can give several links to topics on other forums where I defended NS as pairing or Sakura as character. Im just being realistic. Considering how Naruto plot is currently going, you cant blame people for having doubts about NS.
