there we go again. Sasuke hasnt yet mentioned since danzo fight that he would kill him. Whst if he changed his mind??

I believe Sasuke has stated that he will erase his past recently during the war.

[redragon88]

Would you say the situation would have much harder if Sasuke did in fact loves Sakura and shown a lot since part 1 alas making love triangle actual love triangle?

 

It would be easy just to say that if Sasuke did have feelings for Sakura that they should simply be together, but the truth isn't as such. A recurring theme of the story is that Sakura fell in love with Sasuke for the wrong reasons. She wanted to be acknowledged romantically by the coolest guy as a sort of self esteem boost. Her love for him was never about understanding him, so that's a reason why it's depicted as wrong.

 

What helps bring home the fact that it's a wrong love is how Sasuke acts with her, which is not how it was supposed to be according to Sakura's expectations. So even if Sasuke reciprocated her feelings Sakura would still have to go through the same process of understanding that what she feels for Sasuke was never real love. Sakura's feeling for Sasuke being real love or not shouldn't be decided on the basis of whether Sasuke reciprocates her feelings (otherwise fans would claim that Naruto is simply the second choice because her desire of Sasuke never came true), it should be decided on Sakura's own conclusions of what she feels as time goes by.

 

In your scenario your making Sasuke love Sakura, but I'm guessing your not taking away the instances were it was hinted Sakura was growing fonder of Naruto. Even if Sasuke did like Sakura she would have to take into consideration the feelings she developed for Naruto, and going by the nature of said feelings (that her love for Naruto is real and hers for Sasuke is fake) in the end she would ultimately choose Naruto regardless.

 

If Sasuke reciprocated and she accepted, and they even started a relationship, sooner or later she would realize that now that she's finally with Sasuke that it isn't this great fantasy she imagined it would be. Her desire for a romantic relationship with him would decrease as time goes by, and ultimately she wouldn't want to be with him anymore since her love for him was more of a childish wish in the first place.

 

I think every user has a different use for their byakugo. Mito probably used her for sealing demons and tailed beast. Tsunade uses hers for healing and being partially immortal. Sakura uses hers for advance healing but I doubt she can perform mitotic regeneration so I will assume she will use hers for something different. 

 

side note: Mitotic Regeneration

                 Mito :)

 

Only if you're able to use the Byakugo no jutsu (strength of a hunderd) can you ignore the other medic-nin rules and go charge into the front lines. Tsuande clearly said that when she used the byakugo to fight Madara.

 

And given that the minute Sakura formed the byakugo seal the first thing she did was mega punch a juubi clone, blitz on top of a huge horde of them, and then proceed to one-shot said horde with a titan punch, it's been clearly established that Sakura is capable of using the Byakugo no jutsu. She just hasn't had the chance to use it on herself yet since she's focusing on support duty right now.

 

There're plenty of high level people on the alliance so there's no need for her to get directly involved. Even Tsunade went back to support duty because of the same reasons. During the Kages vs Madara fight it was clear that 4 kages wasn't enough to stop Madara which is why she decided to get directly involved. In the current fight we have 4 edo-Hokages (with each being OP, especially Hashirama), the other Kages, Naruto and Sasuke, and plenty of other high level ninja. Tsunade and Sakura can do more benefit going about assisting those mentioned than to simply charge in for the sake of charging in.

No her feelings for Sasuke are not fake per say, just shallow. for the very same reasons that you have stated above. It was about being a fan girl of the cool "bad" boy. She may have displayed moe emotional understanding of him later on but the has never been any connection, much less progress to compare to the spades and spades of development with her and Naruto.

I'm not saying fake as if she's pretending to love him, I'm saying fake because it's not how this manga portrays true love.

 

Not true love = fake love; but that's my own definition.

 

If you want a better terminology for it we can call it Sakura's selfish love for Sasuke vs Sakura's selfless love for Naruto.

the last paragraph sounds good.
@superman333: i know he said that. Actually thats why i thought that he is gonna change. But then i realised that its not that simple. He has got something dark ,or bad plan behind all this "look look i am a good guy now and i am gonna become a hokage..." what !! Are u bluffing? So lets see what kishi will do about him

Naruto Volume 67

Silly Minato, you're supposed to be dead.

[咲耶姫]

Title of Volume 67:

 

突破口: "breakthrough"

[Atheck]

Naruto Volume 67
 

 
Of course the cover would be related to Naruto's paternal bond with his father. That was the most significant subplot of those chapters. Although I was hopeful that we would receive a fully coloured depiction of Tobirama since he's only been featured once and that was with his back turned. 
 
Did anyone else notice the inconsistencies with some of the colouring? The shading of Minato's sleeves was a light violet colour in the cover of volume 65 and on the colour spread of #410. Most depictions of him that are shaded have maintained this visual design yet you can clearly see in this most recent picture that his sleeves are a black/dark blue hue.
 
Tobi's skin was bleach white in the most recent spread, but you can clearly see that he has a sea foam green tint. Then there's also the issue of the Rasengan's colour. Now every person in the manga supposedly has their own unique chakra colour. Naruto described his as being yellow back in the first series and any official covers or artworks made by Kishi that have the Rasengan being depicted were drawn yellow (excluding the Rasenshuriken which utilises elemental manipulation).You could argue that it was Minato's chakra that was used to formulate the sphere, but his moniker describes him as being a "yellow flash". Couldn't that be interpreted as a reference to what his chakra nature is like? Yellow flash undoubtedly refers to his Hiraishin technique and the suddenness of his appearance whenever he appears. But the only thing that is "yellow" on Minato is his hair. Unless his chakra was also a yellow colour. That would explain how Naruto attained his chakra nature. Although this doesn't explain why the Rasengan is blue in that cover.

Silly Minato, you're supposed to be dead.

That would be amazing if Minato was posing as a grey coloured corpse with cracks in his face like most of the edo zombies.

Nice simple yet satisfying cover. It begs the question, what is this volume cover would be. My guess is Naruto and Obito and maybe a background of his team, if not Rin. I would have said friends, but they only there for like 2 chapters and the whole conflict only revolves to Naruto and Obito until the later moment with Obito's team. So it's possible that the cover could be Naruto, Obito and his old team.

[redragon88]

What would be amazing? I didn't get it.

 

I simply made a joke of how Minato is drawn as alive in the cover instead of showing him as an edo-tensei.

Lols I think he was being serious . Minato drawn as a edo tensei zombie would be kind lf cool .

Yeah, Kishi can be really inconsistent with colouring. There was another recent colour picture in the latest character popularity poll of Minato where he had a light blue shirt, and then on the cover of volume 53 it was a blue colour darker than that (but lighter than this volume, and a little violet), and in the RTN thing where the AU version of the characters appear he has a dark blue shirt that also has a touch of violet, but his pants are the same blue.

And then Sakura... Her eyes are green in some pictures, but other times are closer to blue. And some times her shirt/forehead protector are red, or this ugly red-violet colour (various shades of it). I wish Kishi was more consistent with colours, it's annoying lol.

About Naruto's rasengan - actually he has depicted it blue before, several times. But yeah Kishi often makes it yellow. Maybe he's been watching the anime too much and forgot that the rasengan is actually yellow haha.

Well in a way, manga coloring can be inconsistent for all they want. I know a series where the hair changes from one color to another. It's just the way how it is. It's strange but it does happen, so long they don't identify the character. Like if they say, "Be careful of that blonde whisker boy," they better keep it consistent forever until in manga they say a person change something.

His drawing is getting sloppy and we can pick Sakura to show as an example her hair differs from chapter to chapter, sometime he draws her okay on others he put extra bangs with no reason.

Well the hair part is something I would wait on. If nothing address, the only argue we can say is war is sure a hard work. I'm only referring coloring. Drawing is all on the artist.

Definitely agree. I think his drawing has been pretty sloppy for a while now.
