This is exactly what I mean, I mean while some fans many prance around saying it's an anti ns or sk deal, you cannot have anything negative from something which doesn't exist, that being the moments we expected. I mean some fans may try to make stupid excuses of them both saying let's go as a means to say anti ns or so, but they are just moving to battle. If anything it's better what happened for us recently than hinata going face down in the dirt. There's a difference between not having a moment and just missing the opportunity for pairing growth entirely in a situation. We at least got 662 and 663, while the execution for the end of the recovery situation wasn't ideal for us anyways, it's better we got something in the long run from it. Nh is in no shape to go running around boasting anything when hinata couldn't even participate in the events, and we can say this with confidence:I am going to say this again. The jump from Naruto being on the ground along with Sasuke to them both standing and saying "Let's go" is weird. There is something missing. Even if not for a pairing moment, it feels like there is missing panels of them actually waking up. It's too huge of a jump.
I have a funny feeling this will play a role later down the road and the "Wake up scene" will be fleshed out. Just remember that just because we don't get it now, doesn't mean we won't get it at all.
They could have confessed their love right there for all we know....I know a stretch, but you can't tell me "That's it." I know Kishi's style too much now and I know he likes to withhold information till a certain point in time.
I am confident we will see something happen with these scene later down the road. Not now, but later...
BTW, No offense, Smiter, but I think I was ambiguous enough to not actually consider what I said to be a "spoiler," but whatever. Just saying.
Sakura's past development, along with the stuff from 663 this will go forward, while one potential moment didn't occur, there are many more that still can occur in the future. Better we got what we did than nothing at all, sakura got time and development, if anything 663 was important so let's be happy with what we got. It's the fact that she vowed to keep him alive and supporting his dream and wants him to become hokage, that scene right there is basically why we enjoy ns, support in one part, and development in how far she went for him to save and preserve his dream. As I said before, better to have sakura with this than like hinata still lying face down in the dirt.
I mean the whole deal I was expecting, was in truth some interaction with obito for this wake up scene, Sakura's part just part of the relief. While we are just back to battle now, this does make things feel like a void situation, like something important for both naruto and Sasuke was passed, but they are both more concerned and concentrating on what happened with the sage, their characters do that from time to time, just go right for the important stuff. The better thing to say though, in the past series of events, having a moment at least with stuff like 663 is better than none at all, I mean again, this whole war nh got only one moment which was well, you know how fans reacted to 631. Otherwise SS has been well, negative. I mean the best is yet to come. I mean while this is a chapter we could enjoy for guy cracking open madaras face, it's just something we were expecting a bit too much, but given this type of situation it wasn't uncalled for, I mean nh fans predicted that some other stuff would occur beyond 615 but in 616 it just ended so soon, we at least got some mileage for ours. Things are still otherwise good on our end, more will come in time. And as said before, while it's unlikely flashbacks may come there's always more to reveal in time. This was a good time for ns fans as the situation lasted but time to see naruto and Sasuke fight. There will be more ns stuff in the future, we just need to wait a while longer, but it's better than what's gone on with well, nh and SS we can say that much at least.
Besides for what we got with them awake, I'm happy sakura looked happy, it's not anything like the ova from 2011 but oh well, on with the show, more ns stuff will come later, because just think about it, if we did get a moment, perhaps this pairing war would be done and set in stone, otherwise it would have been more rage from nh and SS fans, maybe it's good in someways it didn't happen, but for the most part, yes I wish we got the moment but we just need to wait and see what lies ahead for Ns. I mean we got the development, we have parallelism as a side bonus, we have the Kushina foreshadow, we had development in this situation unlike nh, so while it wasn't as good as we hoped, it was better than what others wanted and that still counts for something, we need to just be happy with what we got in 663 and don't worry, this will still build in sakura I mean when the time comes for naruto and Sasuke to fight, I'm pretty sure we know who she will support, the guy who she wants to become hokage, because remember, supporting ones goals is just a bigger way if saying how much one cares, sakura cares a lot for naruto at this point wanting him to be hokage. She doesn't trust Sasuke, so things are still otherwise good for ns. It's just one moment we hoped for but didn't get, better this than say hinata being related to kagyua or some random crap like that. Things will work out in time, ns will come back, just not right now.
