OK so Blinktopia made a comment that can be classed as them being bias or it could be seen as being unhappy fan who would prefer Hinata confession to be resolved before more complications are added into the mix.

I can understand the frustration of the translator but was kinda unprofessional. I personally don't think Sai is going to tell Sakura that Naruto loves her, but it's going to be about the promise he made her. Sai has seen the inner turmoil an hardships Naruto is going thrugh to keep that promise to Sakara, going as far as pleading to the Raikage to not seek out Sasuke for revenge. I think Sai is worried this promise is going to end up killing Naruto and will ask Sakura to talk with him to drop his crusade to save Sasuke, specially as he does not see Sasuke the same was as the rest of Team Seven do, he see's Sasuke as a thorn on their side that needs removing so they can be happy togeher....ofcourse that's what I think and culd be completely off target.

Yeah, it's unprofessional, but you know what? The editor isn't a professional. They're just doing this for fun so I think they're justified in allowing themselves looser standards.

I wonder how long until Japflap has it up. They've slowed down tremendously in the last few months. (The new baby could have something to do with that, I guess. )

Never heard of Japflap. Is he/she another reliable translator?

Yeah, their like brinktopia.....

JapFlap are another scanlation group. They are considered to be one of the best ones out there, and if you see their scans, you'd know why. They have some of the best scan qualities I've ever seen! (Now, one thing I don't care about JapFlap releases are that they use way too many fonts for my personal preference, so it tends to give me headaches, not sure why, though...) Because of this, they are notorious for taking their sweet time for the release, but the end result is worth every second of waiting.

Well, I don't agree with justified, exactly. Granted, they can do what they want; no one's really going to stop them and since it isn't a job they can't exactly get fired. It doesn't make them look very good though. This is not a DVD commentary, after all; no one generally reading is going to give a flying **** what the translator thinks about this or that. Their opinion is moot and should not be interjected into the pages; I used to think this was a given amongst translators, but I guess not.

At the least, it's supposed to be understood that you don't make your little comments on the pages; they're supposed to be translated and put up for someone to read.

But then, desperation is desperation. If nothing else, I thought the note was hilarious. Kill Sai? What is the person going to do? Scribble over Sai in the offending panel? Crop any panels with him out of the manga? Oh I know! They're going to write really bad fanfiction where Sai is killed off in terrible ways and it never happened and Hinata gets the guy and crap! Not that people don't do things like that last one anyways, but I digress.

Fandom: Rejecting reality and common sense since the dawn of man.

I agree that Sakura's feelings need to be cleared up. Whatever Sai says, I hope that it kick starts Sakura into thinking over her feelings and coming to a concrete resolution regarding her feelings. I just really want to know how she feels at this point, because once we know her feelings on the matter, its pretty much a sealed deal for NaruSaku one way or the other.

This is also why I feel that we're going to get seriously trolled on the conversation (if it even happens next week). It still seems really early for any pairings to be resolved completely at this point (no matter badly I want them to be). I think that Kishi will leave the pairings open until the very end.

I found it Hilarious too I mean serouilly if a Nh fan see Sai as a threat then that means the Naruto and Sakura relationship is going to be canon soon...."

You know that Kishimoto and Kubo-sensei troll their fanbase everytime. :zaru

I really want to know what Sakura feels about Naruto as well, it's seriously sad to see that scene where Sakura was walking away from Naruto and the fact that he's willing to throw it all away just to make her happy. You can't find a guy like Naruto anywhere else, Sakura!

But, currently as it stands... we have plenty of ammo against the naysayers. The wait for the next issue is gonna have everybody biting their nails to be trolled by Kishi.

[Shadowmoon~]

Derock-kun showed me that Translator's Note a while back.

I don't think he/she did the right thing, whatever couple he/she supports.

Anyway, it would be better if we ignore it and move on.

Let's just focus on NaruSaku.

GO NARUSAKU!

Well, they way they've shown Sakura for part two makes me think Kishi-sensei is planning to drop a bomb, or at least add some surprise to the next NS moment. What I mean by that is, we haven't heard ANYTHING from Sakura. Yes, her actions show that she loves him, but we haven't seen any internal dialogue about it, so we don't know just how aware she is or what she really wants. Just a thought..

[Codus N]

The weird thing is that it's tying in so neatly with the fic I'm currently writing. This chapter is inspiring me to finish it faster! XD

Wow, interesting chapter. I'm going to first talk about the Narusaku moment. I don't know about anyone else, but I think the shot of Naruto gazing after Sakura was really symbolic of how Naruto himself felt his chances were of getting Sakura. He personally thinks that there's a huge chasm between them and the main reason why is because of Sasuke and his promise to bring him back. It also shows that Naruto's will to let Sakura walk away from him if that's what will make her happy. I think that's setting up the situation where Sakura has to be the one to bridge that chasm Naruto's build up. She needs to be the one to come to him (like how we saw when she came up and hugged him). It's going to be interesting to see what Sai will say to her. Is he going to spell things out in the Sai kind of way and tell Sakura that she needs to take that extra step? I've always thought that Naruto and Sakura wouldn't get together until Sakura had made it clear to Naruto she chose him and not Sasuke. If Sai and Sakura find a way to make it to where Naruto is, that may prove to be a potential catylst for Sakura to demonstrate this to Naruto. We'll see.

On to the argument over Naruto's conversation with the Raikage. I personally think Naruto's weepy begging actually got to the Raikage. In that last panel when he turns over his shoulder to look at Naruto, that said to me that Naruto may have struck something in the Raikage that he hasn't admitted yet. Also, don't forget that the Raikage can be a deeply emotional guy. He did cry when his brother KillaBee was taken by Akatsuki. I think the Raikage may understand a bit where Naruto's coming from in terms of begging for the life of someone you consider a brother, even if he may be a complete a*hole (referring to Sasuke).

It will be interesting to see what the next chapter will be like. I'm wondering if Naruto's going to crash the meeting of the kages. Afterall, if Naruto wants to change the way shinobi's currently run as his father thinks he needs to, what better way to do that than to put his case in front of the 5 Kages. I know that some people may argue that having Naruto beg and grovel doesn't seem becoming of him, but this is what makes him different. I'm not going to judge about whether that's the best way or not yet. I think we're going to have to see what the results yield first before we can say. I mean, we've seen him fight tooth and nail to get Sasuke back at the Valley of End and we know how that turned out. Perhaps the passive route may be the best route right now.

What's the name of your fanfic Smiter?

@Achika-chan: QFT, I think Naruto did manage to spark a lil' something in the Raikage. According to Binktopia's The raikage made a lot of good points, especially the part about killing Sasuke. If you don't want to start a war, hold back & figure out how to move on & create new relationships with the enemy....

It's a one-shot which isn't done yet. I'm going to work more on it tonight. Its working title is Chasing Memories.

I'd like to see more between the Raikage and Naruto, too! Hopefully the Raikage can impart some more wisdom from his experiences, and Naruto can learn to combine a peaceful approach with steel. Peace is a great thing, but sometimes you must kill or make sacrifices in order to maintain that peace. Even if all the ninja villages develop peaceful relationships, there will always be rogues that seek to disrupt peace, such as Orochimaru and Akatsuki.

Something tells me with how big this chapter was for the big fandoms, we may get speedy spoilers out this week. Maybe even tomorrow.

Indeed, the irony about peace is that sometimes it has to be defended with force and that it's not always bloodless road to peace.

^absolutely QFT....

[trivia212005]

I have this feeling that Danzou's next mission for them is to kill Naruto.

[FullmetalNinja25]

(I'm back ppl! XD)

This was a really good Chapter and Sai talking to Sakura gives me the inclination that the settling of the pairing wars may finally be near.

[RyrineaHaruno]

I doubt that they will try to kill Naruto. Danzo, himself admit that, if they did anything now with Naruto, being so popular he would loses the respect of his people and the Jouinin...."
