I think all of us lost our cool at one point or another, whether we showed it on here or not. I flipped my lid when I saw the spoiler picture, but after reading the chapter, it wasn't as bad as I thought. Some reacted in a calm and collected manner; others thought that NaruSaku was dead and decided to abandon ship. The point is that we've proven that our fandom can be easily shaken as well, (not that that was the first time, but I digress...), so we shouldn't be pointing and laughing at the other fandoms for being insecure. It's like the pot calling the kettle black.

Also, I feel that our fandom has become a lot more aggressive since 615, which I'm assuming is out of defense for NaruSaku. Still, it's not something I'm used to seeing in this fandom. 615 really shook this place up. It was like reliving 437 all over again. Scary...

Yeah, I was really surprised how the fandom reacted. I was trying to bring back some sense by posting many times. It's like all hell break lose

For me the english translation of that scene for the game is the truest translation of Kishimoto-senseis intent of Sakuras confession. The notion of the change of her heart and how Narutos presence has slowly grown to be greater in her heart then Sasukes.

This notion is what she was always honest about in her confession, and remains the strength of the scene.

It was Narutos own self doubt that led to his disbelief and his partial rejection of the confession.

I admit, I was shaken by chapter 615 spoilers. I actually say, "Are you ****ing kidding me?" to myself. It felt surreal to think they will have a boss battle and what's worse, I have to see it in a video games, let alone only both of them together. After I read it, I was relieved but not over. I was afraid of next chapter because it had a lot of coming. Allow me to list them:

1) Next chapter had three color pages. Good god, imagine the galore of NaruHina.

2) Next chapter somewhat suggested that Naruto and Hinata were going to fight together...alone.

3) Hinata will get an exclusive power-up, making Sakura really crap in comparison and I don't like it.

Turns out all of them are denied (Thank you God!). But yeah, we must stay strong. We may get another sting soon, but endure it and we will see the perfect result.

I just hope with the other sting/s coming, we won't have and witness another hell show !

I hope everyone learned to be patient and let's not start bungie jumping off the boat ASAP. But I doubt it sadly.

Perhaps SS since well, I do think Sakura and Sasuke need to close the deal once and for all, but it's optional in a way. I can at least expect some because it's best to expect, only to be disappointed, but in this case, it's a bless. Go figure.

Not only that but we got a subtle NaruSaku cover page, and I say subtle because Kishi didn't want to make it too obvious by including some scroll of Sasuke in the background. But at the end of the day it's Naruto and Sakura teaming up to fight whether the fandom likes it or not.

I really think that some fans were hoping for Hinata to awaken some golden byakugan that would beat the Juubi or something. Suffice to say I was lol-ing all over when Naruto started holding everyone's hand. Naruto, the hand whore.

There may be a bit more of NH moments, and there will be SS moments in the reunion or before it. So, expect them.

There are some moments for other pairings coming, and I really hope we won't make a hell from them.

Unfortunately, we'll probably end up having a repeat if there's another big NH/SS moment like 615. It happened after Hinata's confession, it happened after Sakura's confession, it happened with 615... History says that it will happen again. The funny thing was that a lot of us were expecting Naruto to hold Hinata's hand, yet we still lost our marbles when it actually happened.

I'm gonna predict that Sakura might try "confessing" again as she did in part one, however it'll be toned from last time (not about loving him so much but about team 7 being together and coming home). She might do what she did to Naruto (confessing) to try persuade him to stop his revenge and come back. Who knows...

That you're right, my friend. It's rather hilarious that Kishi not only confirmed that Naruto/Sakura will someway work together (as one pointed out that Sakura is an supporter role in that picture), but confirmed that Sakura is the heroine and nothing can change that. When Naruto hold hands with others, I did laugh because so much for that, right.

She might do what she did to Naruto (confessing) to try persuade him to stop his revenge and come back. Who knows...

I don't think a confession will be it. I feel that even though Sakura loves Sasuke, I don't think she's expecting his feelings return. Pretty much, she got rejected already, so she accepts that. It's just that she wants him to be safe. Their confrontation most likely at the very least be about putting their friendship into work again. It's proven that Sakura is happy with/without Sasuke, so after understanding from the confrontation, she can move on. The question is, will there be anyone that will truly love her for all eternity? Enter Uzumaki Naruto.

@ NaruSaku4Life3g I know this is very taboo but...... What you just said makes it seem like shes going to settle for the runner up (Naruto) which i really hate to think this is the case.

I REALLY hope she wakes up and see's Sasuke for the.... well pretty much the psycho douchebag he is and furthermore comes to realize how mistaken she was to love him for so long after he left especially after the murder attempts on her life and the criminal activities.

(I think i worded my last sentence a little wrong. I'm not saying her love for him is a mistake, rather her loving him after all the aweful things hes done to her is a mistake. Simply put it seems she is trying desperatly to justify her "love" for him whihc reminds me of 540) the mistake is more about her not letting go.

Not saying that her love during part one was wrong at all but after he left the leaf and join criminals, well....

Did I made it sound like that? Sorry. I am against that idea too. It was more like a solution to her love for Sasuke. Then, when we shift focus to Naruto and Sakura, she will realize that all this time, she loves Naruto the most. But I'll tell you what I truly want: Sakura finds out she loves Naruto before Sasuke's situation is over. It happens to other manga, it can happen here. It still won't be canon until both of them confirms it. You can only say, "It's over but not officially over."

[narusakurama]

Hasn't Sakura already decided that there is nothing that she can really do for Sasuke on her own anymore , and decided to trust in them ? I think she is more concerned right now about helping Naruto , with the war AND with the Sasuke situation . She may have one last attempt at persuading Sasuke , but if that happens , it will more likely be for Naruto's sake rather then her own . It would also give her the closure she needs . Sasuke needs no closure , as far as he is concerned , SS died when he left the village .

Okay so just a couple of thing I noted and wanted to talk about.

Even as a Narusaku fan I believe that Sakura's confession was not sincere at least not as much as we'd like it to be. I believe Sakura said she had a plan to stop Naruto from chasing Sauke and then she confessed. Even after the confession she made sure to tell/ask him to stop chasing Sasuke.

Also no matter what Kate Higgins or other VA's think or say its going to come down to what happens in the Manga by Kishi, cause otherwise its not "legit".

Just a few question and concerns I liked to bring up
1)What happened in 615?
2)Also whats the status of Sakura and Saske and Naruto and Hinata (It hurts to type those two wretched things)
3)Finally where I left off was Sakura's confession so two sub questions from this
A) Are Naruto and Sakura cool with each other, cause it seemed as if Naruto was a little upset with Sakura (even though he saved her, which he would have done either way)
B) Do you think Sakura just really cares about Naruto as a friend or even loves him, but just as a friend?
4) In one chapter during the war a ninja who got hurt tried hitting on Sakura, she said she had someone special already and the next page was her thinking about Sasuke. ( even though I think we all though it would/should be Naruto) This is where my faith really got shaken
5) Also do you think if Sasuke becomes "good" Sakura will go back to him and if he dies Naruto will win by default? If Sasuke dies hopefully Sakura has already told Naruto that she loves him.

Srry about all the questions, they just eat me up all day lol. If we could breakdown and elaborate on each that would be awesom.

I think a lot of those have been covered already. But i'm sure romancegirl or NaruSaku4life3g will answer these. Only one that concerns me is 3B. we all could have been decieved thinking that she thinks of him more then a friend. Maybe she never has though od him romantically. Time will tell i guess....

EDIT: for question 5, that's the million dollar question. Will kishi troll us and do SS??? and the Naruto being runner up thing, i hope it doesn't come to that because it will make Naruto (The main character) feel cheated as well as being quite frankly a cheap and crap ending

Just saying databook 3.
Its already clear that sakura has romantic feelings for naruto, no need to discuss that anymore.

Good point forgot about that!! Yeah the Databook 3 has some teasing in it (NS orientated) but it does have little SS in it too to be fair

The databooks already give big hints.
As far as i remember it says that sasuke makes her feel like she wants to die and naruto gives her hope and new breath on life and something like that.
I remember the SS stuff in an earlier databook, number 2 i think.

All in all, it is fact that sakura thinks of naruto more then just a friend and we have more then enough evidence to proof this.
