Well it's complicated to say,dunno whether if it's becoz my head was full of this chapter,probably it's that but still.This ain't a joke i saw kind of two things,The Last Movie delivering more of romance scenes for both NS and NH becoz in my dream i read that in manga,it leaves at the end with naruto talking to sakura,He is talking seriously about this love topic but the end leaves open.

 

Sheesh this has entered even in my dream,I really am going crazy,this is getting too much into my head.You will pay for this Trollmoto.

He doesn't want a girlfriend. He wants a boyfriend. This would be so much easier if he just comes out of the closet.

 

The lovable idiot is gone. Kishi decided that hard work is for losers, so he made Naruto into the child of prophecy aka Jesus. And only through fate will you accomplish anything.

Oh yeah I forgot that Naruto is supposed to work for all of the power he has. Oh wait, we can learn S ranked jutsu through Chakra clone spams and rely on the Kyubbi implanted in us for unlimited chakra. And of course relationships depend on good looks, not how much time and effort you put into forming and maintaining them.

 

Silly me and my logic. What was I thinking

[六道仙人]

the right one here is Hagoromo when says "Love is troublesome..."

[KnS]

I believed she was cast under the genjutsu, but some people are saying that she just passed out. What do you think KnS ? 

 

Kishimoto made a point of having Naruto say to Sasuke that the genjutsu was not necessary.  So why would anyone assume it was not genjutsu?

 

I wonder how long the effect will last.  I mean, if Sakura believed it was real and that she was truly mortally wounded, could she die of shock?  

 

I know she won't die, but it's still interesting to speculate on whether someone could die from the belief in what they experience in genjutsu.

You know, I have come to a final conclusions that every single character has been butchered. It's not just Sakura. All these things surrounding Sasuke that just make everything worse. When Sasuke is not in the picture or he is not the main focus, these characters take on this life of their own. They don't worry over trivial stuff or fall over like a wet noodle over a guy whose entire reason for living is hatred.

The entire story of Sasuke and the people involved with him is just....the entire thing is crap. The concept is sound, but the execution and how Kishi goes about using it is complete and utter crap. There is no excusing any character for it at this point in time. Even the people that say "Naruto is justified in his views of Sasuke" are just lying to themselves about it. The entire story of this is bull and we all know it. No character is justified in anything they have done in the name of Sasuke.

Like I said, rewrite the story without Sasuke ever existing and you can see the story makes sense, has a clear point, and goes about sending a positive message through and through.

Agreed. Completely. I hadn't thought about that in a while. There was a time if you asked me anything about Naruto and what's been going on I could pretty much explain everything in detail and in order. But ever since this whole war thing started (maybe even before that) I just can't seem to get a clear picture of anything... Even now, I'm gonna be honest and say some parts of this whole arc, I still can't quite make heads or tails of it. And each new chapter is just botching up the characters so much that nothing makes sense anymore.

 

Mine too.

lol same. That's why I'm doing this now.

 

One thing I'm worried about...

 

After this it's clear that Sakura probably will nolonger love Sasuke after he stabbed her through the damn chest.

But, how is she going to come to realize her feelings for Naruto in less than 10 chapters? I mean, unless she realizes that the forehead thing was Naruto all along... Meh.

 

I agree. The story is so close to its end, but Kishi is still dragging his feet on this.

 

However, as much as I would love for Sakura to realize that it was Naruto in disguise that made that forehead comment, I wouldn't actually want that to be the big turning point where she realizes she loves Naruto all along. I just don't want to believe that Sakura the reason why she has such an intense (and obsessive) love for Sasuke is because of that ONE event. I don't think that would bode too well for her character...

 

 

Well, I think one word could help sum up everyone's feelings on almost all of the events and development recently - Disappointing.

This must be the most depressing thread I've ever seen!!  (still at page 47), I'm getting sad just looking at it!!!

 

It amazing how our ship safety relies on this one word.

 

All I can say is don't lose faith, we must carry on!!!

But the Land of Iron Arc established that he was released from the POAL. Twice he said in response to Sakura's confession that going after Sasuke wasn't about the promise. Then there was the period before the war where Naruto had plenty of time in between to address Hinata and Sakura's confessions.

 

But of course in this chapter he mentions the promise again despite the above. Arrgghh, this story is a complete mess. Kishi should hav just had Sasuke and the Akatski attack the Leaf with Pain and ended the series there, it would hav been perfect.

 

While Sakura doesn't want to hold him to it, how Naruto feels about it and handles it is out of her hands. He clearly sees rescuing Sasuke as really important and wants to even do right by Sakura, especially because he's seen how she still feels throughout the course of the war.

 

In terms of the confessions, he wasn't in any position to address them. Everything with Sakura ended after their confrontation against Sasuke. Sai clarified her reason in approaching him, which ultimately resulted in him finding Sasuke. He knew that she was lying about why she confessed to him, and he disagreed with what she intended to do. Besides, he only wants to respond when he feels worthy of it and if he can truly win her over, as hinted by his response to Sai and his recent comment to Minato about having found a girl like Kushina.

 

Err... Honestly, I can't speak to how he's handled Hinata's confession. In all fairness, I guess the only answer that exists in that regard is that she simply wanted to confess to him and explain why she was willing to put her life on the line for him. Moreover, while they've hung out at least once between Danzo's death and the beginning of the war, I'm guessing that interactions weren't much of a priority between them? I've written about this on Tumblr before, and I maintain that Naruto and Hinata's bond is at its strongest on the battlefield. In terms of more personal matters, she's not truly there for him and is more of a bystander. With that in mind, I guess it makes sense that they wouldn't have much of a context for discussing what happened.

And if mangastream version is right, I swear, it feels like fanfiction. If this is right, I don't what know the kitten Kishi is doing.

Who knows, maybe Kishi abondoned the idea of NaruSaku? Maybe it was meant to be, but he changed his plans? Anyway, at this point I dont see any good way in which NS could become canon. It can be, but it will be sh*tty.

[Dark Magician]

At least Sakura is now in genjustsu so she doesn't make herself look like a bigger fool. I want to see how Kishi talks to females in real life, because how he writes them is hilarious. And Kishi is getting so lazy, really two pages and Naruto and Sasuke reach VOTE.

I know she won't die, but it's still interesting to speculate on whether someone could die from the belief in what they experience in genjutsu.

Heart attack over shock? What a terrible way to go out if that is the case.

That's not really it. It's not like this chapter was the end of NS.

NS is still the end game.

What people are upset about is the atrocity we got so far. Sakura instead of fighting along side Naruto to save Sasuke, decides to reason with Sasuke in the exact same stupid way as part 1, which didn't work. Naruto neglecting Sakura and paying attention to Sasuke throughout the entire story. Basically all the bs, the list is just way too long to continue writing, I'll die of old age if I were to write ever single thing wrong with this story.

More like go into shock thinking you were just stabbed in the heart.

Did Naruto saw what Sasuke did with Sakura in the genjutsu or Sakura was the only one who saw it?

[六道仙人]

geez, guys... It's clearly that Sasuke didn't moved at all for hitting her... Did you see Sasuke around her after he made that? NO. That's because he has always stayed at his place. Besides, have you noticed how he did strike her? He just pierced with his all arm through his chest... Sounds real to you? No, so of course it was a genjutsu.  I know that Naruto is a moron, but in this case he couldn't do anything since it was been in a instant....

No I mean, did she felt out of exhaustion AFTER the genjutsu effect, believing she was dying by Sasuke's hand, or did she felt because she was being captive in the genjutsu ? I mean, is she still under this genjutsu or is it already finished ? I thought at first she was cast under the genjutsu, but some people seems to say that the genjutsu is already finished and she just felt from exhaustion. You see what I mean ? lol

There is absolutely nothing to carry on,logically every pairing is null now.

[TheQueenB]

At this point I know we just have to wait. I'm still confident in Narusaku 100% but I know that it won't be resolved until the very end.

In the meantime I will finish my FT doujinshi and take a little break, I will try to come sometimes when the water is calm.

 

Thank you! As I've said, everyone needs to calm down and have faith that Kishi will resolve things well. This is just one chapter, that has a reasonable context in the story, and there's still so much development that can result from it. We just need to give it time. 

[merryGOflava]

That was so bad to Sakura's character I can't even begin.

 

Having Sakura say that she still loved Sasuke was bad enough (I don't care if it was romantic or not), but Kishi had to make her faint from a genjutsu just so she doesn't get in the way.

 

I'm done. 

 

Someone PM me if NaruSaku becomes canon...otherwise I'm gonna go watch some Katara AMVs to remind myself what a real heroine should be treated like.

Only Sakura saw it. Naruto understood what Sasuke did but he didn't see what Sakura did.
