I have a feeling Sasuke will redeem himself for Sakura's sake before the manga ends.

What?! This chapter is Sakura-centric with her being badass- strong and determined , which unfortunately is rare these days. If you love Sakura don't miss it

Nah. He'll do it for Naruto's sake. I think Sasuke feels more for Naruto than a LOT of people.

He'll do it for a corpse Itachi's sake.

*crying* I hope you're right. I still have nightmares about that SS moment.

I highly doubt Sasuke's gonna "suddenly" have romantic feelings for Sakura, after ALL this time. That's extremely OOC, and makes no sense whatsoever. On top of that Sakura has a negative view of Sasuke, and at this point I don't think any amount of acknowledgement can fix the scar that Sasuke intentionally made on her.

 

SasuSaku is dead in my eyes, no matter what people consider as a "moment"

 

Especially since it was never alive in the first place... Since they never had a close bond.

Naruto wants Sakura to be happy.

Would she really be happy with Sasuke though?

[Iwantbuns]

Oh, I get what you mean by that then. I just don't understand what you mean by Naruto not wanting Sasuke to be near Sakura though.

 

Well he tried to kill her, and Naruto literally snatched her away from him, bridal style. And then Sasuke belittles Sakura right in front of Naruto, and Naruto gets all pissed... He's obviously not happy with the way Sasuke treats her, and doesn't want him to hurt her, or make her feel unhappy or endangered. Because that just negates the whole "Naruto wanting Sakura to be happy" thing. If Sakura's happy, he approves. If Sakura wants to be with Sasuke to be happy, he'll do anything to make that happen. But if Sakura's not happy, Naruto doesn't approve. You get it? It's kind of what selfless love is.

Yeah, I get it. Thanks for explaining it all to me

Seeing as how Naruto is a Shonen Manga, do you believe that we will get a kiss scene ?

In my opinion, it is highly unlikely... In fact, I highly doubt that the final pairing is going to be revealed through a romantic scene such as kiss or confession.

I for one would love for this to happen :

After the war, everyone returns back home... Peace is restored and even Sasuke went back to Konoha. There we see Naruto becoming Hokage from Sasukes POV. He would probably sincerely smile, but would he sad as well.
Once the dust settles and everything, he would talk to Naruto privately off the screen (we would not see what they are saying) but we would see Narutos face turn sad. Then it skips to Sasuke talking to Sakura, he tells her that he is going to leave Konoha in order to make a new village, and ro rebuild his clan. He also asks her to go with him. Sakura's face changes expression to surprised and chapter ends.

Next chapter we Sakura running towards the village Gate with a backpack (or whatever they wear in Naruto) She sees Sasuke and smiles as she approaches him.
She then says something along the lines, I thought you left already, as she gives him the backpack and says to be careful and to write letters to them every now and then.
Sasuke says thank you for everything, and take care of Naruto for me. Sakura blushes.
Fast forward a couple of years, we see Naruto and Sasuske shaking hands in their Kage uniforms, with their kids and wives around them ( NS & SK )

I am saying  that Naruto will accept Sakura's choice if she  chooses Sasuke or another person(of course  Sasuke has to change) but he is already lost that opportunity  and wants to be alone.

[KnS]

So, now, this is literally the first ever SS moment, platonic or not.

 

I'm not sure what you mean.  First ever since Part I?  Because there were moments between Sakura and Sasuke in Part I.  They weren't romantic from Sasuke's side, but they were at least kind moments that indicated some kind of positive bond between them.

 

The point is, what is it Kishi want us to do/feel?

 

 

In my opinion, Kishimoto has the same purpose in mind for SS as he did NH.  

 

As I said in an earlier post (on the debate thread, I think) Kishimoto has been using Hinata's interest in Naruto and the spectre of Sakura's past feelings for Sasuke as plausible diversions to distract readers while he brings NS together for the end.

 

We're heading toward the conclusion of the story, and Kishimoto has to begin resolving things.  You can see the moves he's made like pieces on a chess board.  Hinata gets her brave moment to support Naruto in battle, then gets to hold his hand.  We see her Infinite Tsukuyomi dream of being with Naruto, but we also see it's something that will never happen. 

 

The only thing that remains for Hinata is either another panel showing her acceptance of NS (similar to the hug scene after the Pain invasion), or Naruto finally says something to her about appreciating her feelings but that he loves someone else.  I'm guessing the former rather than the latter.

 

Now Kishimoto is moving the chess pieces to resolve the plausible diversion of SS.  We have known that Sasuke has to be redeemed on some level before the story is done.  Both Naruto and Sakura need it, albeit for different reasons.

 

A simple panel of Sasuke coming to Sakura's basic human aid -- and doing so without so much as a smile -- is in no way romantic, but shows readers a glimmer of the old Sasuke.  The Sasuke who was a real teammate to Sakura and Naruto.  I honestly don't expect much more to happen along these lines, but we'll have to wait and see for sure.  If we do, it will likely be more of the same; positive but non-romantic interaction.

 

Since we know from Kakashi's thoughts that Sakura no longer feels the same crushy feelings for Sasuke, having Sasuke return to some level of respectful friendship with her will be enough for her to have closure.  And really, more importantly, I suspect Sakura will be happiest when Naruto gets his closure with Sasuke, and Naruto's devotion to his friend is finally justified -- at least in part.

 

In my opinion?  Kishimoto wants to us feel/recognize that once he has systematically removed all doubt about the other possibilities, NS will be all that's left.  There's still one big, public confession that hasn't been made yet....

Hmmm...nice one! Seems like fanfiction! Its a great idea to have Sasuke build his own village and run it. But....I find it hard to digest the fact that he'll ask Sakura to come with him! At the most, he can ask Naruto to help him out with the village but....Sakura....nope! I just find it hard to digest that he is asking Sakura to help him rebuild his clan!

  So do you think would not be a sweet rejection from Naruto to Hinata?

Nah. He'll do it for Naruto's sake. I think Sasuke feels more for Naruto than a LOT of people.

You are all wrong. He'll do it because he's Kishi's favourite boy

Yep XD

[KnS]

I suppose it could happen, but I personally can't imagine how it could be done that wouldn't seem... weird or out of character.  Naruto is very awkward, socially, and I see him continuing to avoid a confrontation of some kind with Hinata over her feelings for him.

 

Really, though, it all depends on what Kishimoto is comfortable doing, and whether or not he feels Hinata's feelings have been dealt with enough that having Hinata accept it on her own is better than forcing a terribly shy girl to endure a direct rejection.

 

It seems to me that it would be far kinder to Hinata if she were to see Naruto happy with Sakura, and accept it quietly and with maturity.  But that's me.

Agreed. This would be the best way to resolve the matter. It will make Hinata shine better simultaneously also avoiding the danger of Naruto bashing by angry NH fandom. Maybe then have Hinata  finally open her eyes and take responsibility of her clan. That would be the best character resolution for Hinata.

i'm afraid that kishi will make sakura act like fangirl again , you know like that time when sasuke and naruto save her from baby jubi .
