Seriously though, did you guys see how far that thing flew!? Sakura is bowling with the Jubi clones! 

Did you see that with the speed of which that thing was going and how she met it? I love how her stats have just shot up to ridiculously awesome levels. You can't run from her at this point, and if you get in range of her, prepared to end up soaring in the sky. LMAO!

It's dirt.

Hmmm shame we couldnt see the other cheek. If it was her blushing then it also kittens on 540 as well..

[Atheck]

Its damaging her character.... and it kinda ruins 631

 

Well if it's any consolation to your thoughts there is also Ino who needs to resolve her feelings. I sincerely doubt that Kishimoto would allow these women to cling to their misguided fantasies of Sasuke for the duration of the manga without any resolution. That is if the markings were irrefutably proven to be Sakura blushing.

 

Is it just me or could anyone else infer a subtle hint of KibaHina this chapter?

[Slextrem]

It's dirt.

^ This panel shows exactly what she's focused on: Catching up with them. It's not about the boys right now. It's about her having her moment, and that's what we should be focusing on as well, because that was amazing. Kishimoto said she would shine, and shine, she did!  

[shadow_Uzumaki]

The moment at 4 AM in the morning when you realized, there was a reason Kishimoto kept calling attention to Sakura's 'wide forehead.' 

[Zatheko]

Still hoping for a NS forehead scene

[lupina]

 

GAHH! I'm really happy for Sakura but dammit Kishi! Sakura shouldn't show any more signs of a crush! That's the biggest thing that's killing her character! 

 

 

*sigh* at least nobody can call her weak anymore or say that she doesn't do anything....

 

But who cares if Kishi adds in some SasuSaku to the chapter....?? unfortunately me :(

 

I really hoped Sakura would be past this already. This manga.... such a rollercoaster.

 

 

 

 

Thanks Branden, I also feel like that

YO - Sakura was amazing but MEEEEEH! -.-

Can u pls stop fangirling? I thought u grew up? xD

I think I've come up with a semi-plausible way for Sasuke to actually have a chance at becoming Hokage, that would also give the most fan service to the most fans, have a battle royal where the entire leaf village fight for the position of Hokage.

 

With the "Konoha Battle Royal arc" we could see a s*** load of fights including the long anticipated Naruto-Sasuke fight.

 

They can even let Orochimaru join in and the previous Hokages can all watch the battle (commenting on what a bad idea this was) Tsunade included (Orochimaru can always use Black Zetsu to Edo her if she dosen't survive).

She shined and got serious praise. I mean, look at that damn explosion? How can ANYONE NOT be affected by that? And then it's being compared to Tsunade also? I don't care what anyone says about her or if they disagree with me but Sakura is Kage level. Hands down! 

[Branden]

I'm gonna be honest with you guys. I didn't even notice it.

All I saw was classic Team 7. If anything Sasuke was faster than Naruto and landed first so she acknowledged him first.

Worst case scenario is that Kishi is setting up a triangle with Sakura in the middle. I really...am having a hard time at hating that. Especially since I know that she'll never be with Sasuke so...

I don't think any of us noticed it until it was pointed out. The problem here is that if this continues it really hurts her character. I was so proud of her for not fangirling like Karin did, but this is just drives me insane to think that Kishi would have her once again showing a crush on Sasuke. It's not that bad yet, but if this continues THEN it's something to complain about.

 

It's more of a case that this is showing a HUGE risk to her character.

True but to blush and to revert to her part 1 self a bit....it's really ruining her, and hurts our 631 moment.

 

Yeah i picked up on kibaHina too

[Inferno180]

Sakura is an unstoppable force for now, guess one aspect of this chapter was for naruto and Sasuke to look at her back, that what they did and when she was surrounded, the other two helped her.

Anyone being alarmed about minor SS stuff, we knew it was coming but remember this:
-the sakura/Kushina parallel is still in effect, ns stuff can still be brought up which impacts this aka forehead now more than ever.
-what's to say sakura won't switch over to naruto?
-remember SS has been halted for the longest time, so the entire point of development, it's still nothing compared to ns.
-this isn't what I would call a troll moment, we didn't get the Kushina thing reaffirmed to someone else by minato now did we?
-don't be alarmed at sakura, let haters always say something as they wish remember they always try to find any flaw with her, even then does this small part of her saying Sasuke kun, does that compare to at least last week? Some are saying we are butt hurt, I say how? Sakura just said his name in surprise of the defense and teased naruto a bit, if anything she is focused on both of them this chapter and how she strived to work as well as them.

People still arguing that Hinata beats Sakura, with air palm...

If it continues, then I'll have something to say about it, but right now, it's very minor.

I didn't think she was fangirling. If anything, she was glad her suspicions regarding Sasuke were incorrect, and she was glad to be saved. And she always calls Sasuke with a '-kun' suffix.

Yeah, I also notices subtle KibaHina hint... And latest chapters smell a lot like ShikaIno to me.

[shadow_Uzumaki]

Heh, so even the shipping goggles get used in this, clearly 'Revived Densentsu no Sannin' moment.  

[StriderC]

LOL Not even a Kyuubi chakra enhanced Airpalm can stop Sakura at this point. Give Sakura the chakra cloak, and she'll do what Madara and Hashirama did at the valley of the end faster what she's capable of doing now. LOL 

 

And lets not forget she's faster than before. Hinata ain't got nothing on Sakura...

[HauntedCake]

Not going to lie, pairing wise we got slapped this chapter. I bet next 3-4 chapters will be Obito/Kakashi which will kill me inside. Definatly set her development back with her blushing

[Otaru]

I love the chapter, but something disappointed me a little.

 

Sakura as the power up we thought she will, it was obvious.

But she needed to be saved and i don't like it. It made here character look distrait.

I think Kishi did this only to give the opportunity to Sasuke to show that he will save her now instead of trying to kill her.

 

Kishi is showing team7 with exactly the same love triangle as before.

i find it bad writing because naruto, sasuke et sakura changed a lot while they were appart....

it's kinda ruins the manga development...

 

I saw some hints for SasuSaku too... oh god maybe he will really do it.....
