Why did I forget there is no chapter this week!?
Edit: Since there is no new Chapter this week, the only thing that will cheer me up now is if there's an update of "wilderness" or "voice of the wind".

Actually, I do have another chapter of "A Single Step" ready.... I was thinking of uploading it, so maybe.... And I'd love to read more of "Wilderness" too!
I know, I was thinking there'd be a new chapter today too. I have a feeling the whole flashback arc will take a while, and this just adds one more week onto it!

Chapter upload for "A Single Step" !? YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS PPPPPPPPPLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEE
I actually don't mind the flashbacks. The flashbacks are more enjoyable than the recent Naruto & Alliance VS. Tobi & Uchiha Madara fight, where there is this constant advertising/fan service of a not so important secondary character.

Yeah, I feel the same way. The current time fight chapters since the good dramatic one of the Ino-Shika-Cho have been what was far less interesting for me, every flashback has been far more interesting to me than the current time battles.
Was thinking about the point someone else brought up a couple of chapters ago about the Haruno clan symbol being the same as the forehead symbol of Hashirama when he called on a jutsu. I think it does have a definite meaning. I don't think that the Haruno clan is closely related to the Senju, but my guess is they had a connection to the Senju very much like the Ino-Shika-Cho clans had to the Sarutobi clan.
I also find it interesting how Kishimoto has incorporated the real world history of ninja into his fictional world. Yes, there were real historical ninja villages. They also elected their leadership council from the elite members of the clans, and that leadership in turn elected the village leader. They were very (emphasis on very) loosely allied to various Daimyo. The Koga and Iga villages are the best known of the historical ninja villages, but there were numerous smaller ninja villages.
These villages are first noted in historical records in the Kamakura period (1185-1333), but certainly go back further. Back to the earliest historical records there are more scattered references to similar groups of independent families or possibly small village compounds, these appear to be the precursor of ninja. By the Kamakura period they had organized to full-fledged villages, and did indeed train and rank their ninja with the same three levels you see in Naruto: Genin, Chunin, and Jonin. There was also near gender equality in ninja villages.
Now, unlike in Naruto, the actual historical ninja rarely were involved in major battles- although it’s known the Koga and Iga villages did fight in battles alongside samurai in support of the Daimyo. (likely the smaller villages did as well). The pre Kamakura period proto ninja groups seem to have more involvement with actual battles and don’t seem to have ties beyond their own people. The historical ninja actually did far more spying for hire than fighting or even assassination for hire. (Both male and female ninja)
Kishimoto is now showing the prehistory of ninja villages in Naruto’s world. I love how Kishimoto has gradually revealed more and more of the pre chapter 1 history as the story has continued. (largely through the flashbacks). There’s always been far more to this manga below the surface- something readers were clued into early on when Kakashi tells a young Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke to “look underneath the underneath”. Indeed.
Hashirama’s flashback story is giving us a fuller image of the pre ninja village world than the brief references we've seen prior. This looks to be Kishimoto’s speculation about how those historical proto ninja families became ninja villages. Hashirama’s father is just as cold and brutal a man as Madara’s father. Young Hashirama is full idealism- wanting a better world and showing even at probably around 12 years old or so, the village system he initiated (as an adult) was already taking form in his head. I’m hoping we’ll also get a deeper insight on Mito and Hashirama’s meeting, and her choice to go with him and believe and support his dream.

The backstory is cool, but I think in this case, I'd rather just be told than shown. That's just my opinion, though.

I seriously lose all interest when she isn't involved. Entire arcs will go by and I'll just read the synopsis.

I'd be more than happy to reveal to you who noticed the haruno mark on hashiramas forehead and on narutos latest transformstion; it is I!!! lol but seriously awsome post, I admire each and every one if em'!
Btw guys, didn't any one of you find it funny that in chp 573 sakura was shown wearing her skirt and boots, but when she arrived on the battlefield, she was wearing pants and sandals, makes you wonder if it was a mistake on kishi's side, or they just made stops every now and then, and thats why it took them days to reach naruto, gai and kakashi.
No manga this week, hmmm I hope next manga'll have a cover .....maybe some sakura on the cover too lol or maybe narusaku lol

you got that right. the last cool thing she did was take down that zetsu clone, and even that wasn't enough....
and the last time she had a full convo with naruto was all the way in the summit arc >:U
dang...kishi give your heroine some panel time! i know she isn't sasuke or naruto, but she should at least be the 3RD most important character!!

So true especially the bolded part naruto the manga set up is suppose to go like this naruto (the hero and the protagonist),sasuke (the lancer and deuterganist) ,sakura (the chick,love interest and the tritagonist) and kakashi(the teacher and fourth most important character).But basically out of team 7 sakura gets hardly anything and naruto the manga has been running for years,I know kishi said sakura is the most normal out of them but really your heroine needs a ability that only she has and that shows she is the most important female charcter.
That is why so many people believe she is not the heroine or don't deserve that spot because of she doesn't have anything unique to only her and that he has not shown her doing alot heroine things like she's suppose to.I have a good feeling that he's going to show her in that light doing something only she can do I hope it's like a very awesome healing base technique and fighting in combat showing them who's boss.
Also everybody on this site have really good points glad to be on NaruSaku side
Look at chibi sakura isn't she just plain awesome
