I feel like Naruto's reaction will depend a lot on context. If he wakes up while Sakura is still giving him CPR, I think he'll be extremely shocked and blush a lot; he'd take it the wrong way and think she actually kissed him. That has a lot of potential comedy in that route when you see Sakura's reaction to how he interprets it. :chuckle:

The other option is that he's just told that she gave him CPR and how much she did to save him. Like option #1, Naruto will be very shocked (possibly blushing a little). Then I can picture him getting a little smug and start making flirty jokes about that which will really annoy and embarrass Sakura, but then I see Naruto getting serious about it and thank her in this really sweet, intense way. :wub:

I can't wait for him to find out ... it's going to be a really funny/emotional moment.

though i think the situation right now is too tense, dangerous and serious for Naruto`s long-lasting comedy reaction :O

and somehow I`m afraid that Kishi may not even make him concious by the end of this volume.. but who knows =\

I was just browsing other forums to actually get insight on how SS and NH fans think and it was.....Interesting. It's really interesting to see how SS and NH view the chapters different to NS. Example: SS thinks the fake smile that Sakura did means she is worrying about Sasuke and that she is like REALLY deep in love Sasuke and she would never give up on Sasuke. While I disagree completely I think some people just loves this kinda angsty thing. I mean Sasuke has never shown a ounce of feelings for Sakura so it baffles me that people think he would suddenly return her feelings. However, NH thinks that somehow Sakura will die? Which would probably leave Hinata to fill her shoes? Also, the girlfriend issue is still being discussed and they think Naruto was joking which I disagree but to each his own. From my observation some people view the manga in favour of their pairing. Honestly, I think Neutral fans enjoy the manga better than people who support pairings.

I admire how in the West the fans are level-headed. In Japan people are calling the CPR a kiss including the non-NS fans.

We got 3 deep kissu's ;) I'm glad the fans think it was basically a kiss even though it was to save his life.

That's because the culture is different in Japan and in the west people have more reasons to call it just CPR and not a kiss.

In Japan physical contact is very personal. In the west it's a bit more common.

There's also the fact that in the west there are a lot more anti-NaruSaku fans so not only will they call it CPR but NaruSaku fans will call it CPR so that they don't seem overly biased to the anti-NaruSaku fans.

There was most likely deliberate symbolism by Kishimoto, but if it were real life and not a manga then it would only be CPR. Manga is not real life. You have to judge it as a piece of literature where every scene has a purpose and you often have to read between the lines. This is especially true because of the already complicated relationship between Naruto and Sakura. The CPR itself shouldn't be the main focus. It should be Sakura's inner thoughts that are focused on.

Neutral Fans want more action and storytelling... so far this shipping stuff is kind of annoying them more then any other group.

Interests:Honestly, western sakura haters are pathetic (if your wondering why I say western, its because thats where all the sakura haters are) they hate sakura for the stupidest reasons, makes me wonder if they even read the manga for anything besides illogically hating on her, and even more so if they even read the same manga. Seriously they really are blind if they think sakura isn't the most popular female character in naruto and has a huge fanbase in japan, kishimoto-sensie's main fanbase. Honsetly, they aren't true naruto fans because they're practically bashing the main heroine of the series who has had AMAZING and deep emotional development, both romace-wise , character-wise and-power wise, and the love interest, Haruno sakura, of the main hero, Uzumaki Naruto. That alone is an insult to kishimoto-sensie's work. Not to mention they rub off the japanese culture, which is important to know if you wanna 100% understand the details of the manga.

My hobbies are drawing, and reading awesome facts about anything I love! Oh and how could I forget, I love playing on my PS3, my favourite online game is Team Fortress 2, favourite character to play with is the scout! (Although I love all of 'em).
Bless the PS2 era...and all those awesome games... (applause to you if you were part of that gaming age, jack and daxter, sly, spyro, crash etc.)

Posted 11 February 2014 - 05:21 PM

I don't think so but not at same level of the big 3 (SS,NH,NS). It's about at same level ot kakasaku, more or less....

NO isn't anywhere near ye level of NS,SS or sasunaru in Japan :S

Found this video yesterday. I don't know if it's been shared already, but I think it's worth watching.

EDIT- Oh, and, this is my question about Harry Potter. I've only seen the first, second, and third movies, and it was a long time ago. But I recently heard about this, and I didn't know whether to be creeped out, or...just creeped out. So, this may be a spoiler to some, so click the spoiler tag at your own risk if you haven't seen Harry Potter:

Question?

I disagree. Shipping does not block you reading comprehension. Being neutral is not always best. One pairing will be canon, why ignore the hints? Why not care about this part of the story? 'Neutrals' are not less bias than shippers, just look at youtube. Besides, too many fans have claimed to be neutral when they're clearly not, I'm not sure what it means anymore. :s

Didn't Sawyer7mage used to say he was neutral or he didn't care about pairings? That lasted real long...
