This is why I said I would play it safe. Hinata is not done and 615 still happened. It was downplayed I agree but it's still there. I don't think we should overreact! Kishi is making it obvious Sakura is missing on purpose. I swear if Hinatas speech inspired her to look for Sasuke I will rage quit the manga.

Sakura is still the heroine. I know we all miss her but she will come back with something big. I just hope that something doesn't have to do with Sasuke.

I want Sakura to help Naruto and she may be the final one to help him in the best way possible! We did not lose any battle Narusaku fans. Just got to put up with it then everything will be worth it. No need to overreact but we do have right to at least think about other possibilities.

This what hinata wanted, she got to hold his hand and she got to walk next to him.
I miss sakura we have not seen her since last year

[Zatheko]

Well I don't know about Sakura for now. But I can say one thing: time to die, Obito. I remember I said that these two need to be separated and we need a "boss battle". This is one way for Obito to have one big focus rather than focus on all. That said I don't know the full plan but it does seem like they can go back to the old plan of attacking them with medics and best taijutsu forces while others have to block Juubi. Again, I don't know where Sakura will come in, but if we keep hoping for Kishi's plan from chapter 573, then there is something big for her. Also, it would be odd for her not participating when she said no matter she will be together with him. The world may be with him, but she included herself, so she must be there soon. If she is the heroine, even after all this, prove it. Fighting Juubi is big, but it's like the world galore rather than individual. Obito and Madara is out now, so I get the feeling they will fight.

Ah I see, I had forgotten about them saying that about the medic and taijustu specialists, I actually really hope that this is correct, it would be a good way to incorporate sakura into the fight as well.

Considering how strong Lee got with Naruto/Kurama's chakra I'm starting to wonder if the chakra will be used to show us all 8 gates opened without killing the user. Personally I doubt anyone else from Team Guy will die as well as Neji but 8 gates has been teased further and further so I'm expecting to see it. What do you guys think?

[Slextrem]

Wow, I never thought I would see the day when the fandom literally has to beg Kishimoto to give Sakura panel time.

What bothers me the most about this whole thing is that he hasn't forgotten about her; he's choosing to not include her. He remembered to put her here and there in the chapters beforehand, plus he included her in that awesome color spread, but for some reason she's not good enough to get significant panel time in the chapter itself? Now we have to wait yet another week and hope for a chance that we'll see the heroine of the series before the end of this arc?

You know what? I'm done expecting things for Sakura. She won't appear in the next chapter, or the one after that, or the very last one of this arc. She probably won't even appear in the final chapter of the series. She'll be too busy in the medical tent to get actual screen time during the finale. Congratulations, Kishimoto. You have broken my hope for her. I'm tired of waiting. It's literally been years since she's done anything significant... I'm going to read fanfiction. >->

Maybe Sakura will make a one panel appearance in 10 chapters. Wait who am I fooling she will most likely appear when Sasuke is back.

[luffyq1]

There's a misunderstanding here, I'm not feeling threatened by Hinata at all or by the lack of Sakura I just think it's terrible writing. Come on you show almost all characters in the alliance attacking at once and Hinata who suddenly can read Naruto's toughts and heal his shoulder but no Sakura because she will be saved for something later, yeah very good writing right there it's not as if Sakura is part of the alliance and came at the same time as the others characters, it doesn't really matter since it's the side character's turn to shine but don't worry Sakura is saved for later even tough it won't save the writing from going even further downhill, pfff...

I have to apoligize luffy you were right since the beginning, you can't trust Kishi after all it's the same guy who made his character still in love with a character who tried to kill her and wants to kill and destroy everything she holds dear.

Agreed with everything you've just said. And no problem man, that's water under the bridge.

[Lady_duckish]

Tiny as it may be, it has dwarfed Sakura's scenes. Personally I wouldn't be bothered as much if she simply fixed his dislocated shoulder, but using the Juuken to do it is starting to sound like those "Hinata will use her Juuken to control the Kyuubi" theories.

This is when I'll drop


Without a doubt.

[Awes9]

Yeah he did, he actually did palm to palm hand holding with ino shika cho, and since he did palm to back hand hold with hinata this makes the ino shika cho hand hold more intimate naruino narushika narucho is now canon!! lol

Agreed with everything you've just said. And no problem man, that's water under the bridge.

Thank you, I'm a girl tough.

*inserts shameless plug for my terrible fanfiction here*

But seriously. Kishi. Wtfman.

You know, if he does decide to push NH and SS to become canon, I really wan't to know if that was his intention from the start of the series or if he changed his mind just recently to please fans, everything he doing right now just makes no sense, I really wish it was just possible to get answers from him.

[Slextrem]

Wait, wait. It's alright! I found Sakura guys!

[Askia31]

Just read the chapter so this is how I feel:
Is it just me or does it feel like Kishi kinda favors Hinata more?Cuz seriously sakura is nowhere to be found and Hinata just did her job.Kishi keeps giving Hinata all of these moments and making her more of a heroine than he has Sakura,thats horrible writing & its frustrating!Sakura is the HEROINE why can't he write her like one? Its not hard at all yet he seems to be really good at it when it comes to Hinata.I mean Kishi has really disappointed me when it has come to Sakura:/ I just wonder why can't Kishi ever write Sakura he way he did when when she fought Sasori?

Because Hinata is the heroine

Sakura who again? Is that the pinky haired girl with less panels than Tenten? Just curious...

[Zatheko]

Wait, wait. It's alright! I found Sakura guys!

Is Hinata even in that group shot because I can't see her? Given the content of the last few chapters that's a far more shocking omission than Sakura if she isn't.

All he had to do was show her off in a small panel or something. Like, you know, "oh theres Sakura healing people and kitten. Nice to see her. Every once in a while." Her role has been down played for almost two years. Probably more. I mean, seriously, dead Neji has a bigger role at this point. And as if we couldn't get enough Sasuke in a already dragging arc.

[TouKen4Life3g]

Well it's certainly best to read all of them in one go, rather weekly basis. I guess because you can say we are dealing with two "wars" here, so it's hard to ache this more and more as you have to wait for next week and the week after that. We gotten to the point we think she went to Sasuke and I don't even know where is that coming from. Can someone tell me where you get that idea from? I understand people problems but I guess the waiting is really taking a toll. I understand that too. I understand this is side characters' shining moments but perhaps the speed should go up a notch.

[Slextrem]

No, Hinata's not in this one either. I assume she's being covered by Naruto's head, since she appears behind him later on in the chapter.
