I've been thinking about Kurama's role in all this too. I think he might somehow try to establish some sort of mental connection with Sakura. He knows that this is a Genjutsu world and Tobi is planning to rip him out. In order to foil his plans, they need to get out of that world.

Kurama wouldn't be able to snap Naruto out of it since Tobi's blocking off their connection. And since he hates Kushina and Minato for sealing him inside Naruto, he'd choose Sakura to help him.

That would be cool. Sakura would at first flip out with Kuruma invading her head- considering what she's been taught of the Kyuubi's history and especially because of what she's actually seen the Kyuubi do to Naruto. Then gradually she'd see Kuruma is actually going to be on her and Naruto's side...

I can definitely see some good pro narusaku fanfics being inspired by this movie. I know just speculating about the plot of this movie has been as fun as writing a narusaku fanfic.

Well, I wouldn't say he's on their side..... more like he's doing it to save his sorry fur hide since this is most likely before Ch. 570. So it's more of an enemy mine situation. But I do think it will be interesting if Sakura is having second thoughts about the genjutsu because seeing Naruto so happy would break her heart to tell him the truth and Kurama will more or less tell her to grow a spine.

I could see him convincing her it's not worth it at all. And what's more, since he probably knows of Naruto's feelings for Sakura, he'll tell her he'll be fine because he has her. I bet Kurama is just as frustrated about their relationship as we are.

EDIT:

Kushina with Baby Naruto:



Looks like it's part of a family album shown in a scene, I guess. Or maybe it's going to be part of the credit rolls at the end of the movie along with the earlier Minato pic. Here's hoping the song is good too.

And oh, it's so totally the opposite of what really happened....

That's really a cute drawing, I hope it's too show how loving he is as a father and not to show him being a completely whipped wimp who et bossed around by his wife all the time, it is a AU Genjutsuverse so it's possible Kushina and Minato are different as well, that said I do find it strnge that every charactor we've seen so far appears different in the Genjutsu...except Minato and Kushina.

The diaper changing scene wasn't about Kushina bossing Minato around. It's just a funny scene in context: "The great and badass Hokage Minato is changing a diaper" is supposed to be seen as funny and heartwarming because it show he cares for his son.

I'm pretty sure in the end Kushina is the one that minds the house most of the time considering Minato would be very busy with his work as Hokage. On one hand Kushina is not the type of girl that would let him be lazy around the house all the time, but on the other hand I bet she takes any opportunity to pamper him if he shows he can be responsible around the house as well.

Remember that in that illustration of the Uzumaki family breakfast done a while ago it was Kushina who was serving the breakfast, all while yelling at Naruto for running way . She like those strong willed housewives that we find in anime sometimes, you don't want to mess with their houses or they'll make you clean the whole thing up otherwise.

So does this mean the kyuubi is still in Kushina?

Actually, it sounds like from a recent twitter feed post that Naruto is aware they are in Tobi's genjutsu. Naruto just can't help reacting more like what is happenjng is real. It sounded like Naruto will at first think Minato and Kushina were generated by Tobi, but his feelings will be engaged anyway. Sakura will likely be much more reserved because she'll think they are Tobi's creations too. But Minato and Kushina will do somehing that shows both Naruto and Sakura they aren't Tobi's creation and the four will work together to break the genjutsu.

Make it stop! Why are they torturing us like this?! It's not fair!!

what's the link for the twitter acount, please?

[tricksie]

Where are those sketches from? Is one the original sketch and one the final manga version? They are done in different styles by different artists. The bottom is a much more refined sketch (compare Kushina's mouth and Naruto's mouth; the shadows in the folds of cloth; Kushina's hair; and the size/position of Naruto's head in the swaddled blanket. In the top he looks like he's just a head, but in the bottom there is some sense of the head attached to a body.).

I'm curious is one is Kishimoto's original sketch and one is the way it was streamlined to make it easier to print in the manga or adapt for the anime.

Naruto Road to Ninja Twitter

[Derock]

Someone posted a video of the full pages that has Tsunade, Shizune and Sai. It has a colored Hinata and sketches of Chouji, Shikamaru and Ino.

[redragon88]

^ It would seem that as many people speculated Shikamaru will be kind of stupid, Chouji looks thin so he might actually be a diet freak, and Ino looks to be a very reserved girl.

I get the feeling that out of all the rookies Sasuke and Hinata are the ones that will feature the most. They're already showing them in color. I get the feelings that both their purpose will be related to how they interact with Naruto and Sakura.

It'd be awesome if we got that! Kurama/Sakura interaction, yeah! Almost anything with Sakura is great, actually, as long as she's shown in a positive light. c: They could even end up yelling at each other. xD

Yeah, I've always thought that Kurama probably knows about Naruto's feelings for Sakura; maybe better than anyone else, seeing as he's been with Naruto for all his life. And I agree about him being frustrated with their relationship just as much us. xD It'd be cute if he said that. :3 I can even imagine him being all, "Just kiss her, you fool!" or something like that, to Naruto in the manga, lol. Well, one can dream.

if you talk about Naruto/Kurama/Sakura interaction, I like the one made by kishi (advertising of Road To Ninja)
Sakura is yelling to Naruto because Kurama is sleeping XDDDDD

Hey everyone,

It's been a while since I last type something here. That said I am really interested to see this movie. We all guessed it right. It is a genjutsu world where everyone are opposite, except Naruto, Sakura, Minato, and Kushina. Don't know what to say about the sketches with Naruto's family, but it really makes me curious.

Anyway, I have a feeling that we are getting a trailer this week. For the record, if anyone is interested, keep in mind: they may or may not show hint of some NaruSaku moments in the trailer. Remember movie 3, I didn't know I was going to get some fanservice. Plus, there was a interview about voice actors playing people's mind that NaruSaku moments are going to be in the movie.

One last thing to comment. If the movie is indeed mainly focusing on Naruto's development (as in parent-loving), then we should be really safe. Think about it. Sakura is not a genjutsu. Why would Kishi leave her out of that and joins Naruto? What is the purpose? Surely, he did it for a reason. The main focus is about Naruto's character. That means we should expect good things for him, like parent-loving. That being said Naruto will get some moments with Sakura. Heck, if anything, I could picture the after credit or ending. Naruto looking to the sky and feel a little sad for leaving, and then Sakura comes down to talk to him. It's pretty much inevitable. Otherwise, what is the point? Also, keep in mind, I do support Sakura to kick butts, not being a pairing fodder. That said NaruSaku clash is expected. Works a lot in movie 3.

P.S. The opposite world is a comic relief moment. Even so, I can't wait to see the reactions.

[kirabook]

I believe it has already been said that a trailer will be released on the 15th no?

Really? Very interesting...

Like I said, don't expect any NaruSaku stuff, though we can be lucky.

I'm very confident there will be NS moments in this movie whenever Kishi is involve we get that always. I have a feeling genjutsu Sasuke and Hinata will help making those NS moments that's why I highly believe Kishi will be trolling fans of NH and SS. We'll also get Mina/Kushi too that's a big yes. But he will make the parallel to NS so obvious in this one. What I doubt is the interaction between Kurama and Sakura that is highly unlikely. My opinion is that Kishi wants to make this movie because like everyone else's believes that he has to due that the last movie Pierot did such a horrible job with editing the NS stuff from the novel version of Blood Prison he probably wants some pay back and now he choses to make this movie to prevent being screw over by them. He wants to complain to Pierot and probably the fan base that hates Sakura yelling at them by showing them this movie. Sorry but this is what I think and it does make sense, just 3 years ago he found out that there are fans who hate Sakura from the angry NH fan mail he got and he wants to get even with them.

Well then, thank you Sakura haters!

I hope we'll get some MinaKushi moments too.
