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.

Kishi's editor should be his wife since he clearly knows next to nothing about females.

[KnS]

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....

 

Right.  It was obviously a genjutsu.  Naruto said so right after it happened.  My question was about whether or not there was any possible way Naruto could know what happened in the genjutsu.

[六道仙人]

the bad thing is that next chapter will be surely about Sasuke blatering some crap about how should be a hokage by showing some flashback to Naruto through his sharingan.

 

LOL then it turns out that the new hokage is Kakashi. For whatever reason, i dunno...

Rest. Seriously, just do, guys. It scares me in a way I imagine bunch of guy on the bridge. I got shivers. Seriously, rest. No more internet for you, young-ling.

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.

Its been like that for all of pt2.  But you think with the manga ending soon some character development would happen, but nooo lets reuse VOTE . Anyways Kishi is just milking the manga for the movie.

[potat0es]

 

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.

lol this. This is so sad, but true.

 

 

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. 

 

Sigh. I wish I could see things as calmly as you. I can only do that after the initial 'wtf-is-this-kitten-must-vent" stage. Although, I'm a little relieved that I'm much better than I used to be.

 

Well either way, I've been a sailor on the NS ship since the beginning, and I'm not about to abandon ship now. Now that venting stage is done, all we gotta do is sit back and let it play out.

 

...of course if something happens again next week like this, we're all probably gonna do this all over again lol 

[merryGOflava]

gosh Sasuke declares he's gonna kill Naruto....and Sakura just says she wants Sasuke back.

 

Why do these guys want him back so much!!!?

 

I'm sorry....I gotta stop and cool off....

[archangel]

Alright, my loves, as promised, here's my analysis post about Sakura's feelings in this chapter and its context in the series, thus far. Hopefully, you'll see some merit and, for those of you who have been disheartened by this week's chapter, some solace! 

 

Sakura confronting Sasuke was purely done out of desperation in a last ditch effort to appeal to his better nature. The first thing she brings up is her desire to stop the fight, which follows her intense scowl directed toward him. She says she knows that she can’t stop what’s about to happen, but she still brings up her feelings, indicating that she’s hoping that her feelings will get through to him and make him stop. Interestingly, when she brings up what he’s become, there’s a tinge of disappointment underlying her choice of words. It’s as though she expected better of him. Moreover, she laments that she was unable to be there for him and save him, and berates herself for being so weak in that regard. (Well, we know it really wasn’t her fault, and that her reaction was normal, but that’s beside the point.) She then attempts to bring up their past bond as a way to convince him to reconsider his decision and to allow for things to go back to the way they were, for them to be a closely knit team and friends, once again. Kakashi is enraged by Sasuke, upon seeing him knock her unconscious with a genjutsu. He reprimands Sasuke for this, telling him that this behavior was uncalled for, since all Sakura has wanted was for him to return to her and to rescue him. He adds that Sakura is distraught for her inability to have done so, heretofore. 

 

This scene has so many implications for how Sakura’s feelings have developed, especially during part 2, and tie in to Kakashi’s more recent commentary about her feelings, thereby bringing things in full circle. Unsurprisingly, Sakura still has feelings for Sasuke, although their nature has yet to be clarified, due to various developments that have taken place during the course of this arc alone. From the wording of her speech, it’s obvious that the first thing on her mind is to dissuade Sasuke from engaging Naruto in their [inevitable] fight. She wants for him to know that she still cares, regardless, and that she hopes for him to return. However, her diction indicates that her primary concern is rescuing Sasuke and helping him. This is unlike her first confession to him, wherein she was more intent on expressing her feelings and just being with him, although there was a similar desperation to convince him to remain in Konoha. Here, she simply wants Sasuke to realize that she wants for everything to go back to normal and for their bonds to be restored. Kakashi confirms this, in that he explains Sakura’s desire for Sasuke to be with her: She simply wants to rescue him and is sad for him.

 

All of this ties back to prior events in the manga. As Kakashi stated not too long ago, Sakura is a kind girl who wants to rescue Sasuke. Regardless of what he’s done, she still wants to help him. However, when placed in the context of how things in the manga have developed, it’s clear that the love underlying her desire to help him has changed, as Kakashi, himself, has observed and has confirmed in this chapter by emphasizing Sakura’s desire to save him more than that of being with him. Sakura clearly no longer trusts Sasuke and sees him in a negative light, despite thinking about loving him. While she’s glad that he’s returned and clearly cares about him. it’s obvious that the love she feels for him is not nearly as romantic in nature as it once was. When this is combined with her interactions and thoughts about Naruto, which are clearly more affectionate and intimate, it’s suggested that her romantic feelings have shifted toward him. Additionally, Sakura’s main goal, as emphasized through various flashbacks and her thoughts following Danzo’s death, is the reunion of Team 7. That’s what’s first and foremost on her mind. What this all suggests is that, due to her kind nature, Sakura still wants to help Sasuke and cares deeply for him, but her feelings for him have changed, as her main goal for him now is that Team 7 can be together like in the past.   

A round of applause for someone who find the light in this mess. I tend to agree with everything you say. Only the future will clarify the rest (I'm still afraid because logic since Neji's death and the reincarnation bull seems to have disappear). I hope for a good resolution before this end.

Kishi's editor should be his wife since he clearly knows next to nothing about females.

Is kishi the one still writing this in the first place ?

[Turson]

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 i

Frankly, she would be more a nuisance than help for Naruto, they are just too powerful.

It's obvious this chapter is building up to things, let's not draw too many conclusions.

lol because Obito has dubbed it so.

I doubt he'll let his wife have a job.

[Hiraishin]

they took some liberty about kakashi's part whatever..

What'd the raw say?

I cracked up.

[Ex-psych75]

I've now caught up now.

 

I really think you guys just need to be away from Naruto for a while and just get some rest.

 

I say we wait for the raw.

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. 

Well said,

 

However, why would someone if they like a girl and that girl had just confessed to them rely on a squad member who reads books to understand ppl's emotions and their dead mother? Not too mention that in the Ichiraku scene where she offers to feed him, Sai completely mis-reads the situation and interrupts the moment by trying to feed Naruto himself. The other thing is that all Sai confirmed in his explanation was that Sakura planned to kill Sasuke herself and that she probs still loves Sasuke. This would actually reinforce the fact that Sakura might not have been lying about her feelings for Naruto bc he also said that she was doing all of this for Naruto. So in short we have a situation where Naruto believes that Sakura may love both him and Sasuke. Shouldn't he be going to Sakura to figure this out? Instead he pulled even further away.

 

Besides what kills me is that if Naruto is such a friend to Sakura why doesn't he talk to her about her feelings for Sasuke. Everyone knows that Sasuke kills her emotionally. Why doesn't he at least try and help her cope? Or better yet explain to her why she has to accept that Sasuke might just never feel the same.

 

As for Hinata well I'm not big into NH bc of the lack of development I'm not giving Naruto a free pass for ignoring her. When Rin confessed to Kakashi he didn't leave her hanging he directly told her that there was no chance for anything regarding her feelings. Sure it hurt her but it also didn't leave her in limbo. Where is Naruto's class?

[Awes9]

I really think the manga will leave the romance subplot unresolved and it will be an open ending, and the romance subplot will at best be resolved in the coming movie since from what I have heard it's an epilogue of the manga (and that's a big if), I just don't see how can Kishi make a pairing canon in the manga right now, SS never existed to begin with and is all about Sakura's feelings (Sasuke just confirmed even if it was clear that he is not interested), NS is still in the friendzone with no direct hint of that changing and NH is underdeveloped one sided and Hinata character is way too insignificant for Naruto so an open ending is the most logical direction.

[pumyte]

Same. I'll have to wait until tomorrow to start liking posts again.

Why does there have to be a limit ;A;

It's obvious this chapter is building up to things, let's not draw too many conclusions. 

Luckychi7 is right, it's only beginning of the volume. The theme of the volume is about to begin soon, which is why we are held off with Sasuke giving explanation on his Revolution. It will be the fourth chapter, which the one after that will be the ride.
