I guess we all have different mindsets. I think of it this way; last time Naruto's love for Sakura was reconfirmed was after her confession, which is like a week ago in their world. Naruto's love for Sakura had so many chances where it could fade away(Sakura's confession, her love for Sasuke, Hinata's confession.) So far, they've done nothing, and that's enough for me.

LOL I hope Kishi is done not showing Sakura when the focus shifts. I'm about to break. LMAO

When exactly did this happen?

He only release one manga per week.
On an story time cannot be measured the only thing he said is that it's passed 3 days the whole war arc, which took 2 years( on real life)
It took 2 years for him to cover 3 days on the manga.

And in those two years that he was writing the series, he did not put in a single NS moment.
From his perspective that is also quite a while.

True. Though I wonder how Naruto plans to fight Madara and Sasuke who both possess the Sharingan. With this, they can neutralize his tailed beast powers and we don't know how Sage mode stacks up against Mangekyo Sharingan because Naruto's fight with Sasuke was interrupted by Obito. Because of this, Sakura could be a very decisive factor in the fight between Naruto and Sasuke. The other thing is Orochimaru is a big X factor. We know that he wants to understand all jutsu and that the Rinnegan is the natural evolution of the sharingan. plus all jutsu can be learned throught the rinnegan. With Orochimaru back at full power you have to wonder what part he will play and whether or not Sasuke can resist him.

Well Kishi is definitely going to redeem one or two characters. Probably Sasuke and Orochimaru (or Obito).... So maybe Sasuke (with Taka and Orichimaru) will decide to join forces with 4 edo!kages?.. Hard to tell at this point.
Indeed. Madara might also try to remove Kyuubi from Naruto, and Sakura knows what happenes to junchuriki when their tailed beasts are removed. But she doesn't know that Uzumaki won't die if the tailed beast is removed, although Naruto may collapse/be in condition close to death.. and here's where we might get a big NS moment.

That and she is clearly conflicted over how she feels about Sasuke in 540.

As for no NaruxSaku moments, we have the hug, the confession, but also whenever Hinata makes a move on Naruto Sakura gets a whole panel to herself showing a shocked expression.

Indeed.

When exactly did this happen?

Darkrerst showed us a picture in this thread a while ago, scroll 10 pages back and you'll find it. Or just ask him. XD
Besides, it really really looked like he was in love during the confession. Not long ago, even if Kishi wrote it years ago.

Are you sure?
Not even Naruto displaying concern about Sakura, she was the first he interacted and called the name, when he saved her (which is an assumption) ofc it's not an strong moment but it passed only 3 days, also your logic does not apply how much time passed since the begining of part 2 to the first time Hinata appeared on the series?
Hinata had a whole year without even appearing on the series.
And even intersections of semesters, on the mini arc with Sakura, Hinata got 6 months without being showed off.

[TouKen4Life3g]

Let's not forget that this war didn't have all Naruto's focus. Day 1 was side character's day. Day 2 was Naruto closing with everyone day, starting with Raikage. Not to mention we shifted focus to Sasuke for almost 4 months. Trust me, I think a lot of us are over exaggerating and it makes us think we had 2-3 arcs already, while we are still in 1. Besides, think as a very long Immortal Arc, no Team 7 until the end.

Look I`m perfectly ok with it if you decide to jump ship. It`s even funny that the first time you came here I was amongst the first to brand you a NH fan. Looks like you proved me right.
As far as I`m concerned you can even ship SasuNaru if you want. I don`t care. But please for all that good and NS (see what I did there?) don`t try to convert others.

People here have had their faith shaken enough by pure fatiquea and we don`t need an enemy convert trying to get people to jump ship. I like you but if there is any NS left in you than please Stop.

It`s a shipping war but a war nontheless. The NH&SS are the enemy and we stand alone. Please, stop.

Guys, he's a NaruHina fan now, we can do nothing to bring him back to us again! We lost a warrior ...
I'm just gonna save all of your posts to use against you in the future, sorry that's horrible on my part, but they all full of win! I cant' help!!

I have a question....

How is to be on the bright side of the shippings war?!, I mean, that side when you can say everything you want as long as it contains something that favors NH... everybody will agree with you instead of call you delusional or accuse you to be a denial person when you say something good about NS?! I always wanted to know that feeling....

[Shadow1275]

I think the reason a lot of people are reacting so much is that for the majority of part 2, the focus was all NaruxSaku and little to 0 mention of Hinata. Then all of a sudden Hinata gets 2 moments of spotlight and some people blow everything out of proportion by saying things like there have been no naruxsaku moments or Sakura does not love Naruto despite Kishi's interview. To me, it looks like NaruxSaku still has a Big lead over NaruxHina and Hinata is not as much of a threat as people think she is.

[Sakamaki Izayoi]

I dont think he disaproved her actions he understood what she did and what she tried to say.
Naruto felt guilty he tried to put Sakura aside and didnt told her the truth when they promised they would do that together.

[That Uchiha]

Baguette, that makes two of us.

Sorry guys, I've converted. NS is dead.

[kirabook]

While I think it's pointless to tell you otherwise

I can write a fanfiction for 2 years, but in reality the fanfiction timeline only lasts 1 week. Saying 2 years has gone by because 2 years has gone by for Kishi is ridiculous. The series itself has only lasted what...

Part 1 = at most a year or so
Intermission = 2 years was it?
Part 2 = at most 2 years or less

In manga time, only 5-6 years has passed. In real life, more than 10.

Exactly.
When Kishi made RTN he said he'd put everything he didn't have a chance to show in manga (MinaKushi, NaruSaku).. It's a compensation for lack of NS in the manga.
People keep telling this for a long time just wait patiently, even though it's hard.

Always feel confident in yourself as well as your preference. Not to mention not wearing the shipping goggle, which people have been wearing for a very long time. I always read it as a general fan and that's my problem: I read it and keep getting friendship vibe or as darkrerst puts it, infatuation. When I read parts of NS, I see it blunt/suggestive (like background reaction for hug or any third party support). That's why I say remove those goggles because it's depressing at times and I'm not the one feeling it...

[Inferno180]

I have faith in narusaku, just losing faith in some fellow ns shippers, seriously overreacting is just not good.

watch as there is another interaction moment for naruto and sakura and then the naruhina goes to the same thing we do, it's just a spiral of insanity, Kishi may be trolling he may not, but we as fans take these things too far, seriously I'm just getting sick of everything, some people here are going insane from their own perceptions. I have my reasons and views for narusaku, I stand by them, there is just too much to just make a buildup and then just make it go away, if this was true, to me Kishi basically made naruhina a déus ex machina, if the confession really was the point of narusaku dying then it would have been too convenient and just blown a lot of logic for other reasons in interaction with others out the window, naruto stops loving sakura despite sai telling him the reasons and how it was his fault, yet he stays mad at her and can still forgive others like Nagato and even kurama and eve Sasuke yet still be friends with them all?Even though they did much worse?

This is just like the end of the first season of korra, what could have been a good setup for her having to reconnect with the other elements, they just throw aang in there to teach korra energy bending and the everything is fixed like nothing happened save korra is all powerful and this series has to go for 3 more seasons? The second season is spirits for this reason the before mentioned could have served a purpose like her contacting the pervious other elemental avatars or something, I love the korra but this is going to make it hard to follow the series because she has her full power this early. Even by losing this in the spirit world, it's going to be harder to take with a present weakness like the first season.

I stand by my views until more comes in the manga and it cannot remain just hinata hinata hinata,

There have been no answers, Kishi has been more focused on narutos parental bonds, sasukes brotherhood bonds, and action and closure for many characters. Sakura's is near the end but its no suprise that much of it is tied to naruto and Sasuke. Hinata is only tied to naruto in any case. Still we have no idea where things will go, we seriously need to cool off and forget these things until we actually see more with narutos feelings, sakura, or whatever hinata does next. Until then, we have only speculation. Both sides in a sense are in an uproar, narusaku has rtn, naruhina went insane over a small moment and now the cover. There is so much left to go, we seriously cannot just call anything now and say that's it game over.

Also @ darkrest if naruto vs Sasuke is the final fight, do you still think there is time for the possibility of a break in the action like the ten tails going into a cocoon like state but needing time to mature or obito going rinne tensi on Madara?

This but whatever. If people wanna jump overboard, I'll be sure to throw them a lifejacket. When/if the decide to swim back, I'll welcome them with open arms. I won't say I told you so or anything of the sort. I'll just smile and think it. LMAO But in all seriousness, why are people jumping now when nothing's been confirmed from Naruto. He hasn't thought, "Wow, Hinata is the girl for me", or anything remotely close to it. He's only ever loved Sakura even after knowing full well who she loved. That didn't change.
