Yea I would like to know why Naruto likes Sakura in the very beginning, but another chapter/arc of Narusaku would be nice.....It would also be nice if Naruto tells Sakura how she kind of helped him find his place in the world and thanks her always healing him, something like that. I poorly articulated that.

Also I was browsing Mange book 60 and there is this tease image of MW3 (modern warfare 4) tilted NW3 (ninja War 4) has Naruto has typical Solider, Kakashi as Ghost from call of duty franchise, and Sakura as this hot ass nurse.

Bridal scene...

[StrikerTheNoble]

Kishi is known to close all the gaps he has created, so this could be one of them. I feel like we will getting close to tackle on full Naruto's life perspective. Like if there's one more arc, I want Naruto to be the main focus, since I thought it will be great to have him as the center. Sure he does in every arcs, but I want to start with Naruto and end with Naruto aspect.

Agreed. And in an arc based on Narutos life you can not leave out Sakura so Im all for it.

BTW, did anyone ever consider whats the point of Hinata in the whole. She is a "nice" character, but the story could function just aswell without her. The one time she is actually substancial is in the chuunin exam arc and thats it. Honestly I dont know what kishi was thinking with her i mean it looks like kishi had to choose between developing her and ignoring her but instead decided to have her both ways. The same could go for Neji but he is in my opinion the more likeable character. For every rookie we were shown what they do in their free time.
Naruto and Sakura hang out together (just the way we like it), Sasuke plots his varius revenges (not a word), choji eats, shikamaru does nothing, Kiba probably spends time with Akamaru, Ino works in the flower shop, Neji trains, Lee tries to breath in between trainings, tenten also trains (thats a really hard working team), shino feels forgoten, but I truly fear to imagine what Hinata does all day. Does she still stalk Naruto all day long. Probably not because most the time Sakura is there and she would notice.

What I mean is that she either has to much or not enough panel time. Depends on your perspective. I as a NS "fanatic" would have no problems with her panels of being rescued by Naruto being replaced by a conversation with Sakura. doesnt have to be a blog, just a "Hey, whats up?" or "Are you OK?". NH fans might enjoy more screen time with her.

Summary: She is the product of not making a choice. She was neither forgoten nor developed. and we cant have the protagonist with a character like that.

Bridal scene...

He did caught her bridal style for a second it was probably the same length as in the manga (unlike the anime which Naruto kept holding her in the same style).

[Baguette]

Dammit I still personally can't get over how much of a damsel in distress Sakura was in this scene. I know it was for the sake of the plot, but....argh
Now I really want her to get that power-up and at least one more fight

Wrong. Neji was developed more than Hinata, but at the same development process with the other Konoha 11 such as Lee and Shikamaru. Chunin Exams and his fight with Kidomaru were the crucial factors.

Oh yea the Sasuke retrieval arc. Tnx for reminding me about that one. Well Hinata you loose. Officially the least developed rookie. Il edit my post.


EDIT: Youtube is now dead to me. A SasuSaku video just showed up on my recomended list. This treachery will not be tolerated.

NaruSaku Video

What is the episode at 2.00

Edited by StrikerTheNoble, 01 March 2013 - 12:36 AM.

[Hiraishin]

I will always prefer the canon version of the confession. Not only cause of the art, but I always want them in-character. I don't like how in the games they don't include the parts with Sakura screaming in Naruto's face. It really highlights her perspective on the situation, and I love she wasn't going to take any of Naruto's kitten and got all fired up. I love that about her.

Though one part of the anime version that I prefer is when Sakura slaps Naruto's arms off her. We got a glimpse of it in the manga, but I wish he had dramatised it like they did in the anime. :3

The bridal scene was kinda lame lol. More so than in the anime. He kinda just catches her and lets go of her immediately, leaving her on the water. In the manga he sits there with her for a moment and lets his hand linger on her shoulder (we saw more of that in the anime, correct? I didn't watch that episode haha).

And I agree about having to see how Naruto's interest in Sakura began. We saw Naruto and Sasuke's first meeting, and we even saw the first time Sakura announces her crush on Sasuke to her friends. It's time we got something significant between Sakura and Naruto, dammit!
I hope it's something really sweet and touching, maybe something like Sakura being the first to inspire Naruto's dream of becoming Hokage, or maybe Naruto sees her crying, with her face covered by hair and all, and thinks that she's beautiful or something. <3 But that's probably just wishful thinking, the best flashbacks are saved for everyone/everything but NaruSaku. D:
The reason he started liking her is probably just cause her saw one day and thought she was cute — though I can't blame him!

[AzureWaters]

Imo the anime version seems more sincere. In the manga you get the feeling that what Sakura's saying is extremely forced, and while it appears that way somewhat in the game/episode, the VA-- at least the English one, voices Sakura in an assured and almost honest tone. I also know that the episode added a few NS flashbacks in her confession whereas originally it was just Naruto remembering SasuSaku.

NaruSaku Video

What is the episode at 2.00

Had to dig around a little bit — it's episode 15.

@AzureWaters Yeah, for sure.
I have to say, though, I really hate the English voice actors. They annoy me so much, especially Naruto's. I really can't watch the dubbed version (or play the games with the English voices). The only English VAs I like, probably, are Kakashi and Gaara's. Sasuke's is actually really good, too, actually, imo.

[rocci]

The one I hoped the most is the flashback on how Naruto even got a crush on Sakura in the first place. We learned how Naruto and Sasuke met each other and started their rivalry. Honestly, all we need is how Naruto fallen for Sakura. Here's hoping the best.

I agree 101% with that. A flash back must happen, because of all girl in naruverse why sakura ? Why not ino(who is beauty for me)? I think we will see that flashback when we back to alliance because if obito can get a chapter that dedicate entirely for obi(xrin) why naruto cann't?

Oh why sakura the only girl naruto call CUTE in the entire series?
Beside that only 4 person naruto seem interest in physically. In chronological order:
1. Sakura
2. Haku(yes he is a boy and naruto even call him cuter than sakura)
3. Tsunade(I think he only amaze that 50 year old granny is this ???? Pretty???
4. Kushina(he call his mother a babe which I agree. And he even compliment her hair who only two people do that)

Ah well that's all just state a manga fact

@codus: sori baru bales, iya bro punya^^.

This is the honest reason (or biased in many cases) why people feel Sakura's confession was fake. You can't draw sounds XD but at the same time, Kishi made her look like she was just trying to trick Naruto (of coarse when I first read the chapter I didn't even care to look because I thought NaruSaku was gonna become canon sooner or later)... Now I know you likely know this, but thing is Sai explained the next chapter why she was telling the truth (though people think he confirmed she was lying about her feelings to Naruto).

I don't know why people have to be like that to be honest ^^; (but the NS anime flashbacks were a nice touch)
