If you pay attention Hinata didnt healed Naruto's shoulder she used Juuken on his arm.
It wasnt a heal it put back his shoulder on his place.

We all know that. The thing that we are all concerning is where is Sakura in all this. There are many people in there, sure, but the question is she there or actually vanished? That's the topic of the week for the look of it. It doesn't help if next chapter will go back to Sasuke which will take time from the this battle. At the very least, I hope we learn the location, but go back to the battle because we are closing in to the end of the battle.

Yes, it is Lee. So, will there be others next or not?

Sorry guys but i have to say this now.

Your overreacting on that chapter is just laughable.

How many of you said tht we maybe wont see sakura the next few chapter and as soon as it really happens everybody goes like : oh no he forgot about sakura again but we got to see hinatas hand in that chapter OMG.

Seriously every chapter the same game. Just disapointing.

I can only speak for myself when I say this but, the truth is, I'm going through character withdrawals. I say that I'm expecting these sorts of things, but deep down, I'm really hoping that I'm wrong because I miss Sakura and would really like to see her doing something significant. Thus, I become disappointed with the chapters when it turns out my spoken prediction is right. Tonight's outburst is due to years of expectations for her being crushed to pieces:

1) Sakura is actually going to fight this time! She won't be in the medical tent - she's on Kakashi's team, after all!
2) Maybe Sakura will play a role in sealing Zabuza & Hakku, given their history with Team 7!
3) Maybe Sakura will be confronted by Chiyo-baa-san's Edo Tensei
4) She can't stay in the medical tent for long. She's supposed to be on Kakashi's team...
5) Sakura's being confessed to? Maybe now her feelings for Naruto will be revealed!
6) Sakura kicked that Zetsu clone's butt! Maybe now she'll get to fight?
7) Naruto is saving everyone! Does that means he and Sakura will get some significant panel time together?
8) Hinata couldn't possibly get more panel time with Naruto than Sakura did though... right?
9) It's okay, because Sakura is going to stand out when she joins the battle with Naruto. They're going to be together this time! She said so herself.
10) Oooo~ Obi/Rin Naru/Saku parallel! This is proof that Sakura will play a more significant role once she arrives!
11) Sakura has been shown at least once in every chapter where she keeps narrowly avoiding attacks. Maybe Obito is going to target her!?
12) Sakura's reaction to 615 means something, for sure. We'll find out next chapter, hopefully!
13) That color spread is awesome! It means Kishi hasn't forgotten about his heroine! Now she's going to start kicking some butt...right?

Another one to cross off the list...

[Sakamaki Izayoi]

This overreacting is just retard.
THe main feature of this chapter was Lee and Kakashi.

Obito is not even falling for Naruto's talk no jutsu which means Neji's death was not enough.

Oh hey I see bee in the back, didn't notice him before, if the 8 tails is there that means bee is to right?

Yes, if I'm not mistaken, this panel of Gyuki shows that Bee is there:



I really liked the chapter. The panels toward the beginning, of Lee with Neji, remembering his eyes and then how Lee shut them for the last time... Lee is such a great character.

Kurama's monologue about how Naruto has the skills of both his parents, and how he has surpassed them was a neat moment. I agree that the panel of Naruto transferring chakra to Lee was extremely cool.

As for Sakura being missing? Obvious omission is obvious, that's all I can say. I'm inclined to believe that her shocked expression during #615 was not because of Hinata's speech, but because in that moment she was informed of Tsunade's injuries as well as the other Kage -- probably through Katsuyu. I think Sakura is no longer on the current battlefield, and it would appear that Sai isn't either.

About Hinata's relocation of Naruto's shoulder.... Kishimoto purposely drew reader attention to it. Why? Naruto's shoulder repair could have been left out or dealt with later; it's not as if Naruto wouldn't have gone on despite the pain. But Kishimoto bothers to draw that moment, and shows Hinata -- who is known not to be a healer -- using an improper technique (a Muggle technique, if you will) to do it. Why? My immediate impression was that the entire reason for showing it at all was Kishimoto making a point: Sakura isn't there to do it. She's NOT THERE. There's no other reason, and nothing else makes sense.

I agree with kirabook -- please, not Sasuke. Not Sasuke now. Please. DO NOT WANT.

Last but not least, did you guys look at this cartoon at the end of the chapter?

Look closely at this cartoon.... --Click here to view--

Notice what occupies his brain stem? I want to believe that whoever made this cartoon knows their neuroanatomy. Naruto's heart beats, and his lungs draw breath, and he is a conscious part of the living world because of his brain stem -- in this case, Sakura.

[merryGOflava]

we all just need to calm down!

we can start freaking out if naruto forgets her name.


..........speaking of which how come naruto didn't even wonder where she was??? was he so caught up in his speech to notice!? is all this hero stuff getting to his head?


but seriously, im starting to think she's gone for a reason..........and everyone knows

like...shes somewhere about to attack....IDK...it's a feeling.

Obito is not falling for the talk no jutsu as expected.

Give it time

I don't think anyone is overreacting regarding NaruSaku anyway.

But there's two things.

1) It's an overall picture not just this chapter. Sakura hasn't done much for a LONG LONG time. Now we're all waiting for one last huge thing and our exceptions are SO HIGH it can't possibly live up to the hype. I mean it would have to be something grand to satisfy Sakura fans (outside of NS context) and we can't really trust Kishi to do something amazing anyway.

2) People are justifiable saying there is bad writing going on

I'm inclined to agree since out of all the people on the battlefield Sai is one of the ones Sakura trusts the most and he has the means to transport them there with his ink bird.

It's nice to have an image that shows Naruto's love for Sakura however minor a part of the image it is after all the weeks of "NARUTO-KUN WHY YOU NO LOVE ME" or "Scumbag Naruto hated by the village, ignores the one girl who loves him".

Obito is not falling for Naruto's talk.
She didnt receive kyuubi's chakra, she was the only one that didnt receive this at least makes her special on a certain point of view from Kishimoto.
Sai is on the battlefield along with Bee.

[xxRomanceGirlxx]

Read the chapter. To sum up my thoughts:

"WTF KISHI!!!! ARE YOU ACTUALLY MAKING HINATA THE HEROINE NOW! WAS 615 TRULY NOT ENOUGH!!!??? "


I can't even. The chapter itself was actually good, but this just altogether completely ruined it for me. I'm once again in rage-mode ... I thought I wouldn't be like this again for a while so soon after 615. It's such an insignificant thing ... but Hinata frickin' took Sakura's role. 615 was absolutely horrible, Hinata was the heroine. She was the heroine right there. Now she frickin popped his dislocated shoulder back into place. Was that the point of it in the first place? So Hinata can be epically great beyond compare? When you have perfectly functioning medical ninja around who promised to herself she and Naruto would do everything together? Kishimoto, wtf, wtf, wtf, wtf.

I'm so pissed off and disappointed. I never expected Sakura to do anything in this chapter, but I at least expected one frickin panel of her in the damn chapter. But no, Kishimoto doesn't even give a kitten enough to do that. Sakura just vanished off the face of the earth and no one cares. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING KISH?!". God, he's such a hypocrite. He supposedly says in an interview that Sakura is the heroine and he'll make her more heroine like, but then lets Hinata overshadow her multiple times in just a few chapters. I'm actually starting to believe the interview that said Kishimoto thought Hinata would be a better heroine was the non-biased one. He's doing the opposite of backing up his words.

I don't understand. Kishimoto says he's terrible at writing heroines. Firstly, what kind of excuse is that? Developing a heroine isn't any more difficult than writing a hero. You just have to actually focus on them. Secondly, then why is Hinata suddenly our Shining Star? You're doing a wonderful job with her so far, a side character. But you neglect Sakura, your actual heroine. Fail, Kishimoto. Once again, you've proven your terrible writing. Your manga's heroine does nothing anymore. No wonder so many hate her.

This isn't even about NaruHina. I'm still not even worried that it'll become canon. This is about Kishimoto forgetting his heroine and doing it with no actual excuses anymore. I'm so sick of Hinata right now, I hate her. Yeah, at this moment I HATE her. I'm so angry at this moment, I'm disgusted with Hinata. I can't stand anymore of her unbearable focus and stealing the heroine roles. It's Sakura's rightful place, not her's. Too bad both Kishimoto and Hinata don't give a damn.

I know/hope Sakura will have her shining moment. However, my disgust with Kishimoto is returning again full-force. I'm not rage-quitting, but if this Hinata focus drags on much longer, I swear to god I will take a several week break so I don't have to stomach all of it anymore. It's getting way too bad now ...

Have you even read any of the past posts?

[AnimeGirl_123]

Naruto was at his most vulnerable when Neji died, and it was Hinata, the side character, who got him back in the game. I'm a diehard Sakura fan, but even I'm willing to admit that Hinata stole what could be the best supportive role Naruto needed at that moment. That should have definitely been Sakura during that moment. She should have blitzed down to Naruto the moment he was about to give in.

Well I'm angry because we're near the end and Sakura is still being neglected. Couldn't care less about NS right now. I just want my god damn heroine to shine, then we can worry about NS.

True Sakura first and NS later. I know waiting sucks but we just have to be patient and it will come when we least expect it. I don't know what will happen but kishi drew Sakura on the color spread last chapter, he obviously did not forget about her.

Can we really call an action like that "throwing a bone" to the NH fans? Heck, all we saw was her hand and all she has done is fix narutos shoulder with one punch.
I really dont know why you guys act like that. Last chapter kishi made an art confirming sakura as a heroine and reminding that she will get her time. But as soon as the next chapter comes out, all is forgotten again and everybody is like "oh no we wont get to see sakura again". I mean seriously?

I think its clear that sakura is going to get a huge moment, shes a main character and you cant just delete a main character. You all are just panick around for nothing just like 615, but i guess you guys are only happy if you got something to worry about right?

I would say so. It would be NS if it were Sakura would it not? Especially because I don't see any reason for his shoulder to be brought up again. It's not so much it was a major NH moment just the fact that Kishi keeps going with the Hinata stuff and in ways Sakura could have easily shined. If all the rookies are supposed to shine why have Hinata again?

I agree Sakura will have a huge moment. The main worry is that it will have to do with Sasuke. I'm not panicking. We all miss Sakura.

[Slextrem]

HOLD UP!!! kakashi is talking about kamui???? ....kamui can put other objects in that dimension??

why were they talking about that!!? did he send sakura there or something thanks to the kyuubi chakra??

...And since she has monstrous strength, whenever Obito's body is vulnerable in the other dimension, she'll be there to shatter his body.

Well, that's another expectation to put on my list. LOL. I highly doubt this is actually going to happen. It would make a nice fanfiction though.
