The face she makes on the bottom right makes me wanna hug her and tell her everything is gonna be alright. She looks too adorable with that worried face.

I wonder if this is a scene of Road to Ninja. Judging by the red hair I'm gonna guess that's Kushina in a ninja vest hugging Naruto.

Why does Kushina's hair look shorter than it actually is?

I mentioned above that I think it's because she puts her hair in a pony tail when in battle. If she's wearing a vest, it makes sense.

I really don't like that Ino, so unsure and unhappy but I really woudn't mind seeing her having moments with Sakura, like she see how confident Sakura is and admire her strength, the same way Sakura use to look up at Ino when there were younger.

[AzureWaters]

Ino definitely looks like she swiped Hinata's personality.

[Fyuria'sLeo]

I love the way she looks...I may not like Hinata's shyness but I guess I could handle it if Ino has it.

[TouKen4Life3g]

Because she and Naruto are drawn into the genjutsu together. The changed characters are part of Tobi's genjutsu.

I understand that. I mean not in the movie plot. I mean Kishi's intention. If this movie is going to be about Naruto's character, why have Sakura joining in? She could be a genjutsu if she's not going to be used in the movie (not saying she is since movie is not out). Think as Yamato in movie 4. I'm pretty sure Kishi knows why and what plans he has.

This is likely the only thing that I would like about Genjutsu!Ino's shyness - as I said before, shrinking violet type of characters normally never are to my taste. But having Sakura be the one to reach out and be the confident one in this relationship would be all kinds of sweet!

Apparently the staff involved in making Road to Ninja are interested in what fans outside of Japan like about the Naruto story. Go here and write in what you like. I did already.

If you like narusaku I'd definitely say so. This may be a chance to get Pierrot to write Naruto and Sakura more like manga canon. (keep it positive, they want to know what you like about the story, which includes manga canon.) I said other things, of course, but since this is connected to Pierrot I made sure I put in: "Naruto and Sakura falling in love with each other." I figured they might not understand the shipping term narusaku (although it's used by Japanese fans too) so I said Naruto and Sakura falling in love with each other.

you dont think this could be bad.....seeing as there are more hinata fans in america.....XD.....no?

anyway i said sakura is the best, she needs more fights though

Make sure you guys write it within the limit of 150 characters.

Also, can we please refrain from dragging pairing stuff into that survey?? I honestly don't think it's a good idea. In fact, I think Kishi might be repulsed to know that his fans care more about the pairings rather than the story itself. So really, can we put the pairing stuff aside??

@Alex: yep. I loved that little tidbit in the picture.

EDIT: scans of Team Gai out. (Lee still pending)



Neji's sketch says "Ero-Neji" *sigh* at this point, why should I be more surprised at new character sketches?? I should've known it would be this crazy. And.... Kiba's a cat??

Let me guess, every sentence Kiba makes is gonna end with -nya.

Or maybe meow.

Japanese lesson time!

The onomatopoeia of a cat's sound that is used in the english world is meow while its japanese equivalent is nya.

I'm sure they will be posting about that, that's one reason why we should let Pierrot know there are indeed people in the west who like the canon pairing of narusaku.

Kishimoto won't be offended at all about people liking his canon pairing of narusaku, and Naruto and Sakura falling in love with each other has been one of the core plots of the story from beginning. This isn't Dragonball, Kishimoto let you from the very first image of Team 7 in chapter 1 that Sakura developing romantic feelings for Naruto would be a key plotline, let you know Naruto's feelings for Sakura would be a key plotline point in chapter 3, let you know in chapters 5, 10, 11, that Sakura, despite her fangirling Sasuke she had semiconscious romantic feelings for Naruto, had Naruto and Sakura's mutual romantic feelings play such a significant role in part 2's plotline.

Kishimoto has also made an emphasis on the development of love between a tsundere type girl and the boy who already loves her a theme over and over in the manga, and even had more than one adult male point blank say men should fall in love with a woman like that. It's the main point of Minato and Kushina's story, a key point of Tsunade and Jiraiya's, and a key point of Naruto's and Sakura's story.

As long as it stays positive, if Kishimoto sees it at all, he won't be the least bothered by narusaku comments, he'll be pleased, in fact, that his main canon love story of narusaku did reach readers and is something they like about the story. Don't make it a shipping war in your entry, just say something about liking how the romantic relationship between Naruto and Sakura developed. No character bashing, no bashing of Pierrot or Kishimoto.

On the amusing side, Neiji a pervert? That will be hysterical.

what happened to Tenten

[Fenris]

Eugk. This will be bad. So many shippers are going to go on there and scream for Naruhina, Sasusaku, and Narusaku.
I've already did cause I got caught up in the moment and didn't *actually* read the site - assuming it was specifically about what we wanted to have extra in RtN. having to make a second reply and apologize. Guk.

I do not see this coming out crystal clean, in the end.

I jjust hope Kishi doesn't get offended thinking people care more about his pairings then his story.

[kirabook]

Yeah... I didn't mention anything about the pairings.... just felt like a bad idea.

[Codus N]

That's exactly what I think too. Seriously, we do not need to drag the dirty pairing business over there. It's very disgusting. Honestly, if I were an author of a massive hit series like Naruto is, and I asked this sort of question to the readers and in the end getting pairing related stuff questions instead of questions about the main story, I'd be pissed.

And ciardha, I'd say no. I honestly doubt Kishi wants to hear any pairing related stuff in that considering how he's gotten tons of hate mail about it. No matter how you sugarcoat it, it's obvious Kishi would be able to see through it. Whether it's about NS, NH, or SS. I think Kishi would feel insulted if he thought his fans saw that his series all comes down to the pairings.

There's a mention beside Hinata's sketch that says that she still likes Naruto in the movie, if anyone was wondering that.
