Sigh. No, Kishimoto didn't say....
I am stopping your post right here because I could argue your entire logic is based on depression and trying to find acceptance with grief. Not logic. I'll put this simply, you can make all these arguments about people with "shipping goggles," but then what about the people who has no shipping preferences and still called bullsh** on this ending? People who were neutral who expected one thing based on the story build up and were surprised that the story went against the very principles it set up. You can't just blame that on shipping goggles and you know this.
It IS most definitely a possibility that Kishi was just a bad writer that took orders from his underlings rather than his own creativity and that we didn't interpret it wrong, but rather he wrote it wrong. This can also be supported on how many other asspulls that have occurred in the manga ranging from minor rules to major plot changes that had nothing to do with the ending. Hell, the whole Kaguya fight is said to be one huge asspull that goes against A LOT of plot elements that were already established.
You're so busy trying to blame yourself when really it very well could be Kishi's for not making anything truly clear and leaving everything too ambiguous to tell. As for Sakura changing her feelings...how many times has he said it in interviews and the databook entrees, but I guess this is delusions too huh? Pitiful excuse to try and justify bad writing at its core.
It's not just with pairings, but rather the very core of the characters themselves have changed to suit this "ending" and for some reason you can't accept that. There are many other horrible inconsistencies like how did Madara use his Susanoo without any eyes and both Itachi AND Sasuke confirmed that you need both eyes to work? Black Zetsu and White Zetsu's origins changed greatly and nothing was explained how Madara's mind thought differently. How come chapter 3 was NEVER brought back up, but every other flashbacks were?
It sends even more red flags when this canon Naruto movie is ADDING FACTS AND MEMORIES THAT HAVE NEVER BEEN DISCUSSED OR BROUGHT UP IN THE MANGA ONCE AND NEVER WILL MAKE A MENTION AT ALL. You mean to tell me that Kishimoto couldn't do it? Bull. Pure bull and you know it. You want to give up and blame yourself thinking you were stupid...be my guests, but don't drag everyone else down. You have an opinion and you're free to have it, but so does everyone else and my opinion is you're wrong and Kishimoto messed up. No matter what the intention was.
Like some have said, if he was so bad at romance, then he never should have written one in there.
I know this is going to hurt, but in this interview: http://www.saiyanisl...ounding-editor/
Kishi said he was never planning on making a love triangle. He only made it because his editor told him it'd be a good idea. Considering the fact that Sakura ends up with Sasuke, (And the character Sasuke gets his name from has a love interest named Sakura...) I...don't think Naruto was ever going to be in 'love'/crush with Sakura until he was told to make a love triangle. :/ I'm pretty sure that's why they're calling it weak feelings. Now that the manga is over, there's no need for the love triangle anymore. (Well, kind of hard when Sakura marries Sasuke and Naruto marries Hinata lol..)
Kishi has said A LOT of things lately to the point that we don't know were true or not. Hell, Sasuke's character didn't initially exist in the beginnings of Naruto so what does that tell you? To me, that means no love triangle would exist, but no where does that suggest that Sakura's character would have automatically went to Sasuke's character. You also have the fact that Hinata didn't have a major role initially and was pushed forward anyway.
Kishimoto also said he was going to name Naruto's son Shinachiku and we got "Bolt" instead. Go through all the interviews and you will find that MANY things Kishi has said over the years is all of sudden seem like a lie to what they say now. So how can you trust anything he says?
If you really believe any of this crap, you're lying to yourself and maybe you're not seeing things clearly. I don't care what any recent interviews say because it all contradicts 15 years of work. No excuses. There is no way you can convince me that this ending was 8 years in the making. That makes it even worse and telling me that if it takes you 8 years to make that sh*tty ending, then maybe Kishimoto shouldn't write anymore.

i see...but theres another spoiler where naruto tries to hold hinata's hand while shes hessitant
Posted 20 November 2014 - 07:48 AM
James is right.
Kishi can say whatever he wants about his intentions. He can even call Naruto's feelings for Sakura weak, but that doesn't change the fact that we got a chapter where Naruto talks with Sai about his inability to confess to Sakura because he felt unworthy. That does not suggest weak feelings, no that implies the exact opposite. Naruto's romantic feelings predate the start of the manga and for whatever reason Kishi never gave us a conclusion on that particular dynamic. Even if he fully intended to have NH SS as the end pairings, he could have spent a page of the finale allowing Naruto to finally confess his feelings and then be turned down. Kishi is sloppy.
If any pairing deserves a movie, its NS. Thats the paring that has been growing since chapter three but was left hanging in the wind for absolutely no reason.
EDIT: So very classy of Kishi to say his fans were reading the manga wrong, when he goes and says stuff like Sakura's confession to Naruto was honest.I understand he might be getting flammed, but it would be mature of him to remember there are fans of NS who are not being over the top about the ending. Dont be a JKR or and Bryke.

Long story short... if your main characters love is suppose to only be for comedic purposes, don't make his love interest share actual moments of real kindness and loving care and most importantly, DO NOT MAKE REFERENCES/PARALLELS/USE FORESHADOWING to make it seem like his love is the real deal.
I don't believe this to be the case, but for the ones who grown into "acceptance", the this was a horrible misinterpretation and writing schematic by Kishimoto

Whether it was only his editor's suggestion to make a love triangle, the fact that he followed that idea and put it in the story and escalate into something pivotal to the MC's character.. should make him follow up that route.

No, I've accepted Kishimoto wasn't a great writer whose writing background was simply script writing and oil painting. You're the one clinging to notion that a good writer doesn't do this, or doesn't do that. You thought Naruto was a filet mignon, when it was a regular old fast food hamburger. Hamburgers have their charm, they're fast, easy to enjoy, aren't top quality, but are there when you need something mindless and quick. The answer is right there in front of you, you were seeing Kishimoto as some sort of Shakespeare, when he never was. I simply can't take Naruto's love as anything more as a crush, because he never did anything about it. He chose Sasuke over Sakura multiple times. She could have ended up dead, and all he does is tut-tut him and call him his best friend/brother ever. Naruto's crush on Sakura was never a main focus, it was used mostly for comic relief, and sometimes for dramatic effect.
Sakura...Sakura was always a normal girl in love. She didn't stray from Sasuke. Naruto caught her, and what does she do? Wonder if Sasuke really doesn't care. Who did she think of when the lover nin told her any guy she loved must be a great guy? Sasuke. After Kaguya, who is it that Sakura runs to? Sasuke. Who is the one she forgets isn't around? Naruto. To be honest, Sakura's bond with Naruto was created to find/save Sasuke. And in the canon, once Sasuke comes back, she decides she'd rather go on a faraway journey with Sasuke than stay around with Naruto. You couldn't be more blatantly obvious than this. There was no romantic love in her heart for him.
As for Shinachiku, that was a joke. This has already been explained. He was asked what he'd name Naruto's son, and he said maybe Menma, but he used Menma in RTN, so he'd have to find something else. Shina was just another word for Naruto/Menma. It wasn't a serious answer.
Anyway, the fact remains canon is set in stone now. It IS better to love and enjoy NS in fanon, than to cling to the false hope of conspiracy theories that are just going to make you feel even worse when they're proven incorrect.

I'm not sure what you are trying to do, but im missing context and I wont go back to get a better understanding. Don't get me wrong I still think Kishi mislead us which you can say was a byproduct of him being a bad writer...I don't agree that thats what happened but not the point lol
You sound like you just want everyone to accept what has happened and move on, that they will be happier and more prepared when the movie premiers, but you're are not making it better. You are not making anyone feel better. If they want to cling to hope, than let them hope. When the movie premiers and its all said and done, they will move forward from there. Please don't think you are doing anyone any favor by insisting they just need to accept it and move on. I say this as someone who used to feel that way, but this particular incident has taught me different. If I truly care about anyone's well being, then I will accept that their process is not automatically my own.
Besides, when that movie premiers and its splashed all over every relevant fansite and community, its going to hurt regardless. So why not let those who still have some amount of hope be happy with it?

Sigh. No, Kishimoto didn't say Sakura's love was changing. I know that's how we took it, but Viz's translation was more correct. It wasn't a crush anymore, it was 'selfless love'. That's why Kakashi says she wasn't confessing to make him hers, she wanted to save him. Also, again, Sasuke specifically said he was making people hate him to push them away. Him saying he didn't care about Sakura was an act. The second he turns good, what does he do? Apologizes to her. What happens the second Sasuke turns good and comes back? Sakura jumps on him and asks to go with him, even though that would mean leaving Naruto behind. She never loved Naruto. And Sasuke was always going to turn around and end up with Sakura. It's a manga about people being redeemed with words, and he was a main character. He wasn't going to up and die/disappear. Karin was also so unimportant to his story that she also vanishes along with Taka.
I'm sorry, but yes, a lot of the people in our fandom read way too much into Naruto. It was never complex, it was never a story about romance with ninjas on the side, it was never intricately plotted as such either. This is in his own words, he didn't put much romance in at all. He couldn't have been more blunt about this. And the proof is right there-SS/NH are canon. Kishimoto chose the most canon movie to be about Naruto falling in love with Hinata. Narusaku was a happy accident, but it's never going to end up canon;. That ship sailed a long, long time ago. From the moment they started working on that movie, NS was dead canon wise.
...You do realize Romeo and Juliet was a play mocking young love, right? And to compare a mangaka to Shakespeare...Did you guys think Naruto was high literature? They're ninjas who throw fire balls and magic lightning at each other. I get being disappointed, but I'm starting to think you thought Naruto was something it never was...I mean jeeze, that "romantic" scene on the bench ends with Naruto having the runs....You can't fathom why a 'good writer' would go against the 'literary rules' and not write Narusaku. There is your answer. Under your terms, Kishimoto isn't a good writer. He recently said he was like Naruto, because no one thought he'd ever be a mangaka. He didn't start writing Naruto until he took a college course in script writing. That's his background.

Shakespeare..? Lol. Its not even about his writing skills, its about doing what's right. No, we simply believed Kishi was a good enough human being who would not advertise stalking and abusive relationships in a manga for children. We thought he was good enough of a writer to not portray women as door-mats. Sadly, Kishimoto proved us wrong.
He chose Sasuke over Sakura multiple times.
Wait, what..? When did this happen?
She could have ended up dead, and all he does is tut-tut him and call him his best friend/brother ever.
I guess you missed the panels where Naruto saved her from ending up dead.
Everytime Sasuke tried to kill her/ let her to die, Naruto saved her. Yes, he did not get angry and shout at Sasuke for all the stupid things that he did. But how that serves as a proof to you that Naruto 'put Sasuke before Sakura' is something I fail to understand.
Naruto's crush on Sakura was never a main focus, it was used mostly for comic relief, and sometimes for dramatic effect.
Forgive me but statements such as this makes me doubt whether you really are an NS fan. Cause this is one of the standard argument of the NH/SS fandom. Anyway,
So much 'comic relief' in these panels right..?
