I know people are speculating some temporary death for sakura, but all I'm saying is, just no, I mean we don't need it. There would be no point in killing sakura, I mean narutos role is to succeed, yeah it would be kinda cliche for naruto to always save sakura but still sakura saving naruto income way without dying could be her big moment to do something for him. Also I don't think we need another mass death like pain, we already got it with madras metor and the ten tails wood attack. Sakura will be alive in the end, I just think that for obitos rinse tensei the way it's used will result in the future battle, I mean a fight till the near losing point would be more epic, I think naruto and sasuke fighting a rebirthed Madara before he can gain perfect control over the ten tails would be epic.
Plus naruto turning obito to use his rinse tensi would kinda underplay stuff, I mean Nagato had reason to turn, i don't think we need another "it's not too late to turn back to good moment" and yeah it really would be sudden, we have that with Sasuke and itachi. Obito would be turning for the sole purpose of parallels to his old team which would kinda underplay things in my opinion, I mean part of Kakashi facing obito is him having to face a similar situation to naruto, only thing Kakashi can do is tell obito why he killed rin and it better nit be simply because if a misunderstanding, or "this is not what rin would want" and Kakashi could tell obito what rin thought of him after his sacrifice, yet this would be an asspull I sadly feel.
I'm just saying, for narusaku to happen, it can happen without overdone dramatic effects of her sacrificing herself for naruto and then being revived later, plus I think it's better if Kishi avoids this route because sakura would be temporarily or near death, I just think its best to avoid this because 1. Naruhina and anti sakura fans would be annoying more than usual, 2. When sakura revives yeah it will be funny to them, but they would complain "why not on neji, you revived the useless one?" And 3. It would make Kishi look weak, seriously we don't need extra drama in this end of the world point, I'd rather sakura survive, beaten up but survive. One thing is, sakura is ordinary, best example of a normal person who does better than most for being normal with no grand powers. Just cause she is ordinary she does not need to die.
Kishi is fond of sakura so this can grant her safety but kinda like how others close to other characters died like neji to hinata or shikamaru and inos fathers, this more or less served as shields for them to live. For sakura to live, tusnade can serve as this shield, plus ip she may die in the near future.
But beyond that, sakuras death or temporary death would not really be worth it, killing her for good ruins the story and underplays narutos character, his role is to succeed, this includes saving and getting with sakura, yes sakura can die for a short while and come back from the rinse tensi but this would also underplay Nagato, I'd rather obito die and revive Madara for an ultimate showdown. It's just I'd rather save so much grief, overdrama, and annoyance/ disappointment, I mean the majority if the fan base is too stupid to understand future speculation, they just assume things word for word.
There's no point in sakura dying, even for it to make narusaku canon for her to revive, it would be that moment for sakura to realize naruto managed to turn back death itself to revive and save her but it would come at a cost for obitos character.
Yeah obito will use the rinse tensi but then we miss out on a fully powered up madara fight, and it's an action serious drama second but still action first, I would not mind sakura fighting for a while but then she can be injured and leave stuff to naruto.
In short keep sakura alive, keeps things consistent and on track, we already have enough diversions in the manga right now due to the flashback, no idea what will happen, but enough trolling on kishis part, just keep sakura alive, it does ruin the story for her to permanently die and harms narutos character, if she gets revived, does ensure narusaku but pisses many off and I'd rather save that from both the annoyance of whe sakura dies and complaining when she revives, if naruto convinces obito, it does bring his character down, part of narutos obstacle as a character is dealing with those he cannot use talk no Justu on, seriously I'd rather him bear obito by force then obito pulls a revive on Madara. Talk no jutsu can only keep you interested for so long.
Plus sakura is a main character with too much development she cannot just die so Kishi can just let it go or fulfill her development, she needs to be present along with naruto when it comes to sakura, I believe sakura will live there's just no point in her dying for good or being revived.
We need it because Obito's redemption would be just a mere asspull.
With Pain Naruto lose a lot of people to understand his hatred, he lose Jiraiya, Kakashi and the village was destroyed.
With Obito just Neji's death is enough?
Does Neji was so close to Naruto as Rin was to Obito?
I'm saying is that if Sakura died and Naruto chose another route he would understand how Obito felt and Obito would see that he was wrong, Obito is entitled to his own opinion and does not even hear what Naruto has to say.
But i doubt it happen.
He's going for the asspull route.
Second does not use "cliche" as an excuse for something to not happen, Naruto is full of cliches and things copied from other shounens it's not an original work.
Third disagree, what would ruin the story is one of Naruto's friend dies and gets compared to a death of a love insterest and most treasured one, Obito loved Rin, he vowed to protect her, and also she was at his side supporting him, the same thing that Sakura did to Naruto, if she dies Naruto's beliefs would be placed on a dangerous situation just like Obito, Rin's death made him give up on his beliefs, the fact is what would happen if it happened with Naruto would he take the same route or choose a different path?
I dont see this as ruining the story, Naruto always went thought the pain of his opponents and redeemed them.
Looks way more a fanboysm text than a text full of arguments your text can simply be resumed with "I dont want Sakura to die even if it's temporary because i like her character too much" you said that her character would be ruined but presented 0 arguments why it would ruin the story, said that Naruto's character would be underplayed but doesnt tell why.
Now if Kishimoto wanted to make Obito's redemption with quality he should have to kill Sakura or at least make her heavily injured, this is enough, all the other villain Naruto knew their pain, Gaara, even Sasuke he complained that he didnt understand how Sasuke felt, Nagato.
