I don't honestly see what that has to do with anything. He waited but he eventually had to go meet with Sasuke.

I don't honestly see what Naruto the Last has to do with anything, but it still exists....and it is canon

That doesn't really answer my question.

I don't see how the Gaiden has to do with anything for the story but it is more canon than the whole manga.

LOL!! XD Ohhh, that was a good burn!

Yeah, unless you're being sarcastic as heck, Griff

[Narufan85]

........maybe I am off my rocker, but Naruto basically refusing a bento box "made of love from hinata" is a sign of...divorce? Nah, that would make too much sense.

 

Logically, you are right. But we all know—just like Kishi will find a happy resolution for the Uchiha family—that Naruto's family situation will happily resolve itself in a way that will remind us that Naruto is just such a lovable clueless guy and look they're all happy!

The series took all of my freaking sarcasm away from me. Looked at some posts on YouTube which ticked me off.

Seeing how Naruto can't differentiate love of food from love of a person....I don't think NH was ever a true couple. Just a means to procreate.

You know, if we're lucky, that panel of Bolt thinking of Hinata may be the only time we see her in Gaiden

Wouldn't be shocked.

 

This spin off is about Uchihas( surprise surprise) and Hinata has had absolutely nothing to do with Sasuke and Kishimoto doesn't seem to care for her character at all. My best guess is that she'll get two throw back panels, but ultimately won't really be seen, until the ending.( her defect clone, won't show up much either.)

Yup. All the couples are just means to procreate and set up this stupid Gaiden.

Best part is as of this last Gaiden chapter nothing has changed at all. 

 

Boruto is ignored by his father.

 

Sasuke is avoiding Sakura

 

Sakura is psychotically trying to justify some sort of relationship with Sasuke-kun

 

And Naruto is still ignoring Hinata's gestures of affection towards him

 

Your Heroes ladies and gentlemen. Give them a round of applause:

So as I just told Bryon online, another possibility for the mystery Akatsuki person who would actually have a good reason for wanting Sasuke dead for "killing Itachi" (pfft, I will always laugh whenever anyone says that, Sasuke "killing" Itachi, lol), barring any "hows" (given Kishi loves to asspull and all) - Itachi's mystery lover that was mentioned in the manga. (The manga only said "lover", but never specified a gender either.)

[Aizen-Sama]

 

I told our own HalfDemonInuyasha on Skype that the way Naruto seems, it is as if he REALLLLLLLLLLY has lost the love in his marriage with Hinata. I mean, seriously.... ~_~ Wasn't he "SO" in "LOVE" with her?

 

If Naruto had been married to Sakura he would've been calling her on his phone and acting like his regular goofy self.  I hate what Gaiden did to him.

[Namikaze Clan]

It can't have been his lover. Itatchi killed him/her himself alongside the other Uchiha

Can I ask what you both find compelling about Sarada? I don't disagree that Bolt is boring, but I can't say there's anything remarkable about Sarada. Her narrative, to me, seems so blatantly contrived and a pathetic attempt to create forced drama. Paired with Kishi's tendency to heap greatness upon the Uchiha, I find her every bit as unlikeable as Bolt.

 

ETA: I read a few posts after yours and I DO get why she might be sympathetic. But I can't get past how forced the plot is. 

 

Hmmm, it's not that I think Sarada is remarkable or that the story is not contrived and forced. It's just that it's moderately more readable than say, watching paint dry. After expecting a story based around Bolt and the lovefest of NH, I am actually surprised to find that it's about Sarada and I can read the next gen manga without hating it as much as I expected I would! 

 

I don't think Sarada as a character is compelling. But her story is more interesting than Bolt's. There is the question of her parenting, if she puts it to Sasuke like she has to Sakura, and if Sasuke can come up with a good excuse about abandoning her. I'm interested to see how that all pans out. And again, I'm surprised that I'm even reading it, so that says something too. Anyway, the most redemeeing thing about Bolt is that so far he hasn't been in the story. 

 

I can tolerate the story since it's from Sarada's pov and is revolving around something other than NH. If it were about Bolt and NH, then hands-down I wouldn't be reading it at all.

 

It also a curious choice for the part 3 after the bait and switch ending, too. It's like they knew if it was about Bolt/NH then audiences would drop the story. So I wonder if the figured Sarada was the less-offensive choice to center the story around.

 

 

Agreed, even if I'm not much of a fan PERIOD of any of this new generation.

 

 

/\ This! This so much!

That's a fair response. Though it says a lot about Kishi and the fandom that you enjoy Sarada because she is the least offensive.

 

And while I understand your point, I suppose I'm letting my extreme dislike of Sasuke color my reading of Part 3. Yes, Sasuke has come off looking bad so far, but I just know Kishi is going to give him a happy ending and I have no desire to see that come through. There's no way Kishi would let his golden boy end up looking terrible. He'll have some charming resolution with his daughter and Sakura to set the stage for the film.

[rocci]

Salad is female sasuke.

[Namikaze Clan]

Salad is female sasuke.

Well yeah, obviously. She's his daughter after all

[DextersBro]

Yeah I heard about this crazy series.  It sounds like a soap opera with Sakura, Sasuke, and the baby mama drama.  Terrible and I don't plan to read it.
