Sasuke and co. are at the Uchiha clan. The part of the village that has been left out for years, which is why we see old houses and stuff in the background.

It's not trolling, it's spamming. Facepalms are not good responses. Basically "I disagree with you so much that I am facepalming". It leads to nothing. It tells me nothing.

I also said this:

As long as these "negative" persons are explaining themselves well, I think they're just speaking their mind.

Well I never look on it that way, I was never looking down on other since the message on that facepalm was clear, too much negativeness does not allow you to see things clear.

Like myself on others have stated, Kishi said all our favorite characters will shine, but others are saying that Sakura character is ruing and there is no way to save it, Sakura lie to Naruto and use his feelings (to me that is the only down side on Sakura character needed to be focus because personally I believe she was being honest in some way but haters love to judge her about it, so I feel like if kishi really needs to address that part and make it clear to the readers that he meant it when he said that he try to present Sakura as an honest girl with a stubborn impression.

Many fans here are winning that about Sakura this on Sakura that, if I compare her to other character she has being one of the character with the biggest 180 so far in the story, she have the biggest development among the other girls in the story but many focusing on characters like Sasuke and Naruto and complaining that Sakura is not close to them, this is nor fair because Kishi made it clear when he said that Sakura was meant to be a normal girl.

Sakura biggest problem right now for me is how weak she becomes around Sasuke and her poor decision when something is related to him.

Why are we constantly complaining about Hinata? She like Lee, Ino, Shikamaru, etc deserves to shine and since she is all about Naruto it's pretty obvious that it will be something related to him.

I said this before and I will say it again, after Sakura confession things will no longer be the same with Sakura and Naruto, they are in a battle but the will not be talking and saying stuff to each other because there are stuff needed to be cover between them.
Kishimoto purposely knockout Naruto after his speech to Sasuke, that poison on his cheek never made any effect on him until the moment Sakura high in emotion was approaching him. Since that day Kishi is being avoiding Naruto and Sakura. Doesn't that tells us that something isn't right?

Sakura will help Naruto in this fight so I don't worry about her, what I feel bother you people is that Hinata is getting her well deserved development with Naruto and Sakura is not gating anything so you feel cheated while forgetting that Hinata and Naruto Nindo are the same, Hinata needed to encourage Naruto at lease one time, Sakura has not make her appearance, Kishi promise everyone will have their moment and we all know main characters are always the last ones to make their move.

Manga has not ended yet but people are already speculating for the worst things when nothing in the Manga is leading to these pessimistic view but things are pointing to a positive development for out favorite character.

That's why I was face-palming.

[That Uchiha]

Bit of a hopeful prediction

Just a thought I had, but if Tsunade dies doesn't she have to name a successor? I mean the village elders are, who knows where, and I dont exactly see Tsunade calling a meeting. If, and it's a big if, Sakura ends up with Tsunade healing the other Kage isn't there a chance she could name Sakura next Hokage for the interim? It is after all the duty of the kage to protect both their village, forces, and jinchuriki. In my opinion naming Naruto hokage in the middle of a war, as a jinchuriki and vital game changer, is too risky especially knowing his brash nature. Everyone else is out on the battlefield so placing Sakura there where the other Kage can witness Tsunade's wishes may just give her character the boost we've been waiting for.

It's just an out there idea but if she is left with the mantle of hokage it gives Sakura the absolute spotlight. She stands in her sensei's shoes above all the other kunoichi and shinobi poised to prove herself worthy and protect her special people (with a killer jutsu I hope). Perhaps everyone will get a chance to look at her back, even Naruto and especially Hinata who would then be devalued to ordinary "medic/side character" detail. Which is the exact place Sakura has been when NH fans have been bashing her character. And I can't help imagining Naruto's face if The Kage were to show up with Sakura wearing Tsunade's coat!

It's far fetched but given that Kishi wrote "Road to Ninja" and it's backward world himself, I can see a bit of foreshadowing. Sakura and Naruto switched places in RtN why not bring it home in the manga at least for a bit. Sakura's father was Hokage in the movie and from the spoilers so far she risks a lot to protect Naruto and then give him the hokage jacket. She puts herself in eminent danger to protect not only the village but Naruto's happiness which as we know results in some.... OPPA BRIDAL STYLE! Sorry I had to do it! Don't judge me!
So it would come full circle for her to become a heroine and then to pass the title over to Naruto.....just a delicious little thought.

Reminds me of an interview question Kishimoto was asked in 2010

Takeuchi: “Won’t Sakura-chan become Hokage before Naruto does?” to which Kishimoto dismissed flatly, “No way!”

The thing Im complaining about is that we should not have to be patient for sakura, she is long overdue for something big and it really is not fair for the sakura fans to have to keep waiting for her to do something and I don't just mean for this arc either.

No need to say all that, I agree with you. But I get why people are getting tired of waiting, it's been years since her last big moment.
From a scale from 1-5, believe Sakura will shine(like really shine) with a 4. I just though that was what facepalm indicated- that you either look down or someone, or just simply thinking they are ridicoulus. Nonetheless, it was unnecessary to facepalm at negativity because facepalm only causes even more negativity. It's like fighting fire with fire.

Maybe we should make a poll XD(Do you still have faith in Sakura?) Or an own thread, then those who are tired of this negativity can avoid the "Find Sakura"-thread and come here instead.

And of course we know that everything Kishimoto says in interviews is 100% accurate, he never misleads, and he never changes his mind. Nevertheless, your point is well taken. It seems unlikely.

What a refreshing post! I don't think there's much chance that something like this could happen, but it's fun to consider.

I wish Kishimoto would do something like this. It would be a big step for Tsunade to take, since Sakura hasn't received the power-ups of either Sasuke or Naruto, or even Kakashi, and it's a stretch to think she's at Kage level right now, but that could change quickly. Anything is possible. It's fun to think outside the box.

There's been so much, "There's NO WAY Sakura has gone to the Kage..." but I don't understand why. The truth is we have no idea what's going to happen next, and Sakura being summoned to the Kage is as plausible as any other theory. People seem to be hung up on the notion that Sakura said she would fight with Naruto, and that going to the Kage instead of being part of the current charge against the Juubi would somehow mean she isn't fighting with Naruto. That doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Sakura also said they would ALL fight together. Wouldn't that include the Kage -- assuming some of them survive? Tsunade's fate has to be resolved at some point, one way or another, and it's logical to assume that Sakura would be involved in that resolution. Just because she goes to the Kage and is part of that thread of the story doesn't mean she's not fighting with Naruto, or preclude her from returning to the main battle.

In #616 Kishimoto gave us a brief glimpse of what Sasuke was doing, then returned to the main battle. Then #617 ends with Sasuke again. Is the story going to shift to Sasuke now, or is it possible that Kishimoto is starting to weave several plotlines together? One focusing on each member of Team 7?

What if he starts interweaving Sasuke's part of the story, with Naruto leading the battle against the Juubi, with Sakura's resolution with Tsunade? I agree that's pretty ambitious for Kishimoto, but it's possible, and would be a cool way to bring Team 7 to a more equal footing before Naruto and Sasuke meet.

Like I said, we really have no idea what Kishimoto has planned. I mean, so much has happened in the last few chapters that just a few months ago many of us would have sworn would never happen. Hinata showing chutzpah and getting a chance to fulfill her dream of holding Naruto's hand? Who thought or foresaw it actually happening, much less happening the way it did?

We shouldn't be so quick to assume we know exactly what's going to happen, or presume what couldn't possibly happen. There are a lot of ways Kishimoto could go with the remaining threads of the story.

I can honestly say that from the bottom of my heart, I am currently reading two doujins that are more proffessional than Kishi these days.

Haha what box I have never seen this mythical thing ! It is a character flaw on my part I think

I would love it Kishi would weave the story in such a manner, it would be quite a fitting resolution ! The next generation Sannin arrive on the field for the final battle!

Well Sakura IS the apprentice to the Hokage ..... I can't remember if Minato was to Sarutobi as well or just his appointment choice.

I mean if she HAD to choose amongst her apprentices I doubt it'd be Shizune....on the other hand I see a hilarious bacon attack ....

Obito: Do you smell that ?

Madara: It smells of weakness.....

Obi/Mada: AAahhhhh!

:sounds of bones crunching as Chouji rolls over them both to get to bacon::

[KeikoxYusuke]

Agree with the bolded (not with the wanting her to get a powerup part, though), but I want to add that Kishi himself makes her useless. Remember that panel recently where Kakashi had to pull her away from being hit by a flying wooden-spear-thing? An injured Kakashi? Yeah. Kishimoto is treating her awfully.

Kakashi didn't do a thing...it was Sakura that dodged. I looked at that panel, and Kakashi wasn't even holding on to her, is was Sakura that dodged it, while Kakashi was just....hanging there.

Didn't we already go over this back in that chapter? you guys need to stop saying stuff like that. it just makes Sakura look bad, when really, it was Kakashi who wasn't doing anything useful in that tiny panel.

I really like this. If Kishi does that, he would have done an amazing thing. Really, if this happens, that would be the best thing from all the manga and anime that I have seen.

It shows the main characters, Team 7, and how their journey is going and achieving something important XD

True but I'm very hoping that they aren't just going to revive his clan... It would just be banal -.-

No, I don't think that will happen cause I think Kishi had enough of reviving.
Gaara alone has become like Goku on the reviving scale. If he does revives someone again, then I think he watches too much zombie movies

The thing Im complaining about is that we should not have to be patient for sakura, she is long overdue for something big and it really is not fair for the sakura fans to have to keep waiting for her to do something and I don't just mean for this arc either.

This. It's like some people talking the ones who are complaining aren't grasping the MAIN reason why complaints are being made in the first place. I could give a rats ass about Hinata. I'm not threatened by her popping his shoulder back into place. I'm concerned with the heroine not being shown as much in such a time in the manga. It's definitely long overdue, and we shouldn't have to wait for something like this. I can understand Kishi possibly wanting to throw her in the spotlight after such a long time but really, overall, it's quite disappointing that she's not been shown in the best light IMO. Sure, she's a great character, and she has great intentions, but I feel Kishi could definitely do better, and yes, have her be more active. I love seeing Sakura kick ass, and I love seeing her do things for Naruto as well as her interactions with him. I don't just like one side of her. I like all of her.

No need to say all that, I agree with you. But I get why people are getting tired of waiting, it's been years since her last big moment.

Your theory just made me think of something else. You know how after Hinata's confession came Sakura's hug, right? What if Sakura basically...carries the Kage robes to Naruto instead and sort of gives her own sort of pep talk? It would kinda be a repeat of this in a way:

here --Click here to view--

Of her not wanting to see his dream crushed but, instead, wanting to help him move towards it. And, even though it's a pep talk, it would be an important moment for him, so what she says to him would also be of great importance. Plus the possibility of him dying with Sasuke would seem more suspenseful if he needs to achieve all of his dreams first.

He didnt forget about her, those panels were she appeared were totally unecessary but still he showed her, he's not stupid, he even admitted that he wanted to redo "Sakura's confession to Naruto".

Please, can someone tell me were THIS is from ?
I have NEVER saw that anywhere.Please someone tell me.

Qia: If we add in some MK goodness, Minato told Kushina in her dying moments that she was the one who made him Hokage. : ) Obviously, she had a great deal in it.

I didn't hear about this either, and it's basically saying he wasn't satisfied with the way he handled things there... I wonder if he really said such a thing.

On the same interview where sakura's va said that sakura lied to Naruto on the confession then kishi explained and etc... i think this interview is posted here a lot of times.
