I'm not expecting Sakura to do anything big in this movie though.

Probably she'll appear in the start and the end of the movie like all the past movies before.


You're forgetting about Shippuden movie 3- which Kishimoto was even more involved in than he was with movie 5. Note in movie 3 there was no Mary-Sue chick that fell for Naruto, and lots of Naruto and Sakura interaction. Sakura was there throughout the movie, and Sakura having feelings for Naruto was referenced by Sai at least twice. Kishimoto is apparently doing a similar (if not even moreso involved) job with movie 6. And at the last Jump Festa he expressed embarrassment over not having written the Sakura arc he promised. I think he may just give her the arc with this movie that he may have run out of time to do in the manga.

I don't remember hearing about that - if it's true, that's very exciting! Do you have a link or script of the interview?

The title Road to Ninja might also sugegst an alternative theory.

In this case instead of a Parallel dimension we might see a movie featuring Parallel Development. Namely the development of Minato and Kushina and Naruto and Sakura. it might be a kind of side by side retrospective type ofp movie.

one scene is Naruto and Sakura in some fashion, then it switches to a scene of Minato and Kushina in a similar moment. the movie then follows some overarcing meta plot.

They won't, but if it is the storyline I speculated on, Madara could threaten Sakura to kill everyone as she begins to break the genjutsu- ratcheting up the intensity of Sakura having to save everyone....

Geez, I've gotten so excited about the possibility that this might be Kishimoto giving us the anime the Sakura arc he promised in the manga, that if he doesn't I just may have to write that story in fanfic

Was movie 3 about the Kekkei Genkai? I do agree Sakura was much more kick ass and played a bigger role in that movie compared with the others. It will be cool if we could see that kind of Sakura in this movie.

But a movie dedicated to Sakura? Don't get me wrong, it would be awesome but how will they get profit from it? Sakura is not as popular as Kakashi, Sasuke, or Naruto. I can't speak for the whole Naruto fandom but I doubt the movie will get as much audience as the other movies if Sakura was the main character. I mean I wouldn't see a Naruto movie if the main character was say, Kiba, Shino, Inari or Tenten. Isn't it the same for most of the non-Sakura fans if Sakura were the main character?

In Japan Sakura is popular not in the same level as Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi or even Hinata for the matter. But she gets more respect there than in the West, she's not bash because they all know about the tsundere unlike the rest of the world. I'm pretty sure the movie will be popular in Japan if both Naruto and Sakura play big roles in this movie the hero and the heroine that is to be expected. However I can't say the same thing with the West they will probably dislike if it does involve Sakura more than previous movies, among them NH and SS fans will just shrug the movie off and say it's filler it doesn't count as canon. Have to counter at their reason since almost every NH and SS moment are from the anime they're fillers not to mention they are one sided like the moments in the manga.

Naruto will always be the main lead in these movies, I don't think it would be different this time around, especially if Kishimoto is doing the movie. But Sakura could very well co-star in equal level to Naruto but not in a bigger way. The movie poster does suggest Sakura may have have a big role seeing as how she's in the center but she won't be stealing Naruto's spotlight, after all he's that #1 Hyperactive Knucklehead Unpredictable Ninja.

Them being sent to an alternate reality by Madara or a mass genjutsu by Madara would make the most sense. If it's the later Sakura is still herself and is aware of the genjutsu because of the ability Kishimoto has shown Sakura has- in part 2 even resistant to Uchiha level genjutsu. (maybe this will be the Sakura arc that Kishimoto promised but may have run out of time to put in the manga) If the story is about Sakura knowing the situation is wrong and she has to make the heartbreaking situation of freeing Naruto from a genjutsu where he has loving parents- whoa... that will be intense. (but right up Kishimoto's alley....)


And to make it even better, Tobi twists around their feelings and screws them so hard so that they fight each other (or at least he tries to). If this scenario is true, I can see Tobi try twisting Naruto's feelings so that Naruto's hate is directed towards Sakura by saying something along the lines that she was the one who took away his deepest wish of having his parents alive and live together with him like a real family. That would be even more sick and twisted than resurrecting his parents as ET's.

But the one problem is, the movies usually sets the plotline around the anime's current plot. If the plot as you say it is, I kinda doubt it. But since Kishi's writing it, we'll have to see.

Now that is just win. But on a side note, I don't think everyone knows this, but FT's first movie is going to be released this summer. Not only that, Mashima is also going to be writing the story as well. Confirmed here:

FT's First Movie announced

And Oda is also said to be the executive producer for OP's movie this year. If that's true, then this will be very interesting. But OP's movie will be released at the end of the year while FT and Naruto's movie will be released this summer. So the highlight will be FT vs Naruto. It's kind of interesting, because Mashima will be trying to one up these two and show off his skills. It's kind of like a greenhorned kid trying to impress and outdo his senpais.

Post of the day right there. You friend are win. laugh.gif

I think people still believe that I want Sakura to suffer, that I'll get some weird pleasure for it, that is no the case. I'll explain again, seeing turmoil in characters makes us feel more attached to them, doesn't matter which one. I'm not gonna laugh seeing her feel bad, I'm gonna root for her to fix thing the same way I would support Naruto if he was the one with problems.

Besides I'd rather Sakura not go into some full out depression, that's just a downer. Just her missing the old Naruto and wanting everyone to be how they were before. I don't want her to start crying or anything like that.


Exactly. And I'd also like to point out what DK said a while back.

"You never know what you have till it's gone"

It's this saying and lesson that Sakura will learn well. Think about it, WHO, from the previous generation that went through this??

You guessed it. Tsunade. Tsunade went through this painful lesson with Jiraiya's death, and now it's repeating itself with Sakura. But the only thing is, she'll have a second chance to fix things right. in which she'll surpass Tsunade in that aspect. But of course, it would be a painful decision to make because she'll be taking away his greatest happiness.

Yeah, that's the thing. She's only somewhere in the top 10. But with her recent developments I suspect a dip in her popularity. I don't think a Sakura-centered movie would be a lucrative option for a plotline.


Lastly, I'd like to give my own two cents on the plot. I believe that Kurama will also play a huge part here if ciardha's theory is true. Think about it, Bijuus can also help their Jinchuurikis break out of genjutsu if they want to. So maybe Kurama will actually work together with Sakura to help break out this Genjutsu of Tobi's. How? Kurama will share his consciousness with Sakura because Tobi's blocking his mental connection with Naruto.

Thank you for emphasizing my point. This is exactly what I meant. I don't know why people think I want to see Sakura getting depressed, crying, heartbroken etc. That is not what I want. Stop accusing me of that! I just want her to think about Naruto in a certain way. Yes of course she also understands the feeling of unrequited love with Sasuke but that has nothing to do with Naruto. If that's your point then you can also bring in Hinata and say she understands Naruto because of her unrequited love for him. What I'm saying is Naruto has to be the one stirring Sakura's feelings. Sakura has to understand and empathize with Naruto's feelings. Have the situation reversed with her thinking about losing Naruto like how he thought of losing Sakura to Sasuke. Codus N did a great job in bringing Tsunade's regret of losing Jiraiya. I didn't even thought of that.

I like all the ideas. And I would totally read these in they were fanfic'ed.... *nudge, nudge* But the pairing stuff is usually only a small part of the movies. So if they do switch characters or get genjutsu'd, I'm going to expect more M/K plot, less rookie pairing.

Taking in consideration how most of Naruto movies had an filler girl to fill for an heroine of the story, and how I suspect that this movie won't feature one, we can hope that Sakura take this role instead, or perhaps Kushina herself, but no doubt it would be nice if both Naruto and Sakura keep their personality intact (in case this is really an genjutsu/alternate reality plot) to see their reactions to the other characters new personalyties.

But on the other hand, it makes you feel sorry for Tsunade too... sad.gif Tsunade never gets any luck whether it's gambling or in love. But however, her apprentice gets a once-in-a-lifetime chance like this. So you can't help but feel Sakura's extremely lucky in this regard.... sad.gif

One last thing, if this movie actually takes place around the current manga plot, I. WILL. BE. PISSED. Because we would get references to the movie in the manga and we won't know what's going on in the first and we would have to wait for months to get it. Of course.... unless our dear narunaru would be so kind as to ninja around the theater and leak us the raw (if narunaru does live in Japan).

Well the previous generation got it pretty bad. Jiraiya was killed by his own student still harboring that unrequited love until the end. Orochimaru was killed by a sword he has been searching for all his life and was never able to perfect the dragon sage. At least Tsunade is still alive.

Since we are speaking about anime movies, there is an doubt I aways wanted to clear, why do they take so long to be released in dvd format, I mean, blood prision was shown on the movies last year, and it will take about 8 months to get an dvd release. Here on the west, a movie woudn't take more then a month to get an dvd release after finishing it's theatrical run, so what's up with the delay?

Actually it does take us at least 4-6 months for a new movie to be release on DVD/Blu-ray. I guess Japan is still following the original formula like we did with the VHS releases. Those almost took at least 9 months to a year for a new movie release in stores.

I hope you're not trying to say Jiraiya's death wasn't epic. Remember that he brought himself back to life just by pure will alone just enough to write that final message that helped Naruto defeat Pain.

Now that was epic.

What? No xD Jiraiya's death was epic as well. What I meant that tsunade will do something epic and die not like Jiraiya or Orochimaru, They had a bad death if you know what I mean.

Whoa, so Oda, Mashima, and Kishi are all taking active involvement in their manga's movies this year? Wow, that's crazy. I wonder if there's a correlation.

Maybe like, some secret mangaka society meets every Tuesday for bowling and tacos, and they all lost a bet, and now have to actually get involved with their respective movie studios on top of writing their weekly manga.

I suppose that means Kubo must have won that bet. fu.png
