Don't worry we were just joking around a little.

I just wanted to vent a little. I'm already over it. I know it's a gag manga, it's just that it got semi serious near the end so it rubbed me the wrong way.

I wish the Rock Lee author could do something like Pierrot did with episode 235, that was just a nice moment. I miss seeing how serious Naruto's feelings for Sakura are. I'm aware they're still there but you can't help but want to see it again. Just like people missed seeing Sakura get panel time and are now overjoyed that she's appearing more.

Eh the rock lee spinoff was okay but it was just to have fun on everyone's ends.

I mean remember, ns has the majority if the manga, we have the development where it counts.

I understand.

I would also really like to see another 457 moment appear in the manga. It's been such a long time since Naruto has mentioned his feelings, but I know we likely won't hear about them until the very end. That's the hard part about being a pairing fan. You've got to learn how to play the waiting game.

I read but I think that it's still soon to see something important in this volume. I've feeling that it all depends from Naruto. Sounds strange that in this manga the ones who pick their loved ones are only female. Even more strange if we're talking about a Shounen manga. Naruto never confessed his love to Sakura or even Hinata (:/). There's no suspense about confessing his love to Hinata since the girl always loved him :S So...

what you just stated was good example of why i lost interest naruto as character during the arc. Whatever happened to the days when he used to emote towards love, hate, pain and sadness nowadays his just showing his cockyness and love for sasuke bond what happened to everything else? the only thing i can say for now is that he loves sasuke more anyone else same goes for hasirama and madara...poor mito wasn't shown in the flashback.

Men, I feel like that all this pairings game from Kishimoto is even worse than game of thrones

[HauntedCake]

Isnt 99% of the romance aspect in Naruto, inspired from Dragon quest?? it's like he's just reskinning Dragon quest

So dunno if anyone remembers what I have predicted waaay back when it was about Naruto's gift from Minato, the whole hand holding thing between Naruto and Hinata and I said that maybe next time, NS will have a bigger impact with hand-holding or anything physical and I said that maybe, Naruto will receive the other half of the Kyuubi and Sakura will be the one healing him prior to that and the first that'll get the improved version of chakra will be Sakura.

Well, as I see things going, my little predicition is kinda coming true... Sakura is getting Naruto healed, she will get him to his full recovery which will make her waste a lot of chakra, so Naruto will have to replenish her now. And seeing how things are going, once again, I do think my prediction will come true and we'll have even a more impactful moment than the hand holding.

I know, right? That's also part of the reason I want NS, since the guys in love can never catch a break in this story.

Jiraiya almost made it, even though it took him a very long time, but he died before anything could develop. I remember that Jiraiya said before leaving to fight Pain that men are not supposed to pursue happiness, but I hope Kishi put that there so that Naruto was able to contradict it.

It would be pretty sad if Kishi actually thinks that guys shouldn't have a say to who they can have as a lover.

It is true that it's too soon, it's just that the reinforcements are either here or only Minato does show sign that this battle will be over sooner than we think. In fact, I don't even know where Obito and Kakashi going to at the moment. Anyway, it doesn't change the fact that one parallel being confirmed, especially MK one, would end everything and the journey to see if NS will be canon will become how NS becomes canon. Again, it's only assumption, don't think that it will be guaranteed to happen. Hinata is not waiting for anything since she really didn't ask for return. Naruto could have give in for Sakura, but luckily I guess that Sasuke's topic brought up to stop Naruto to confess his part (maybe). So yeah, right now, NS does have the advantage for the end.

What I do see this arc is possibly increase the canon chance higher. I think Kishi is holding Naruto's confession back, so he can make NS chance of happening by his confession to 100%. Think as a detective game, you need evidences in order to be 100% sure that the guy who you believe is guilty truly guilty. That's how I see Kishi doing right here. You can say if Naruto confess to her at this point, it's 65% or maybe a little higher that she will accept it. I only say this because Sasuke is still the problem, so I guess you can say there's a chance that her feelings for him can diminish here. Again, it's not guaranteed as it can be opposite, but all we have to do is wait.

It's stuff like this many fans just try to dismiss or think is like naruto let go of it, I mean why would Kishi show this only to end narusaku 12 chapters later as many fans claim? There are just to many loose ends, naruto has no addressed his feelings to sakura, so he cannot just go hinata hinata as others may want. This stuff will rise again, heck Kushina being like sakura just added more reason to see some type of interaction between naruto and sakura.

It's at this point where an important plot element like 457 and stuff being sakura and Kushina related, it just seems too hard to believe naruto would just let it go or Kishi would not build on this, it's just hard to me and many others that this would just be abandoned or somehow portrayed on hinata, it's like we have a square slot and the square piece, but trying to use hinata as a triangle piece and jamming it into the square slot, that make much sense? It would be hard to fit, you can cram the triangle piece into the square slot, but to still won't come fit in or come out as easy as you hoped.

Simple, Kishi wrote the story like this. Even with ns being downplayed, it's funny how so much still fits it just because of the story.

I was thinking on... Why Sakura is healing Naruto when in fact he isn't injured but just ran out of chakra? To Naruto would be enough waiting that Kurama finish to reload its chakra, just like the hachibi said in this chapter.

Well he does have some injuries there from the Juubi blast, so he does need some healing as well but mainly she'll recover his chakra as well.
Which makes me wonder, since when Sakura's chakra pool has increased?!
She literally is Tsunade 2.0 only that with Tsunade we have the seal. With Sakura...nothing. At least, till now.
Maybe my theory will become true!

Well, if that's the case, I think Kishi is making an excuse for Minato to interact with them. Sometimes, you must find a way to make only a few to interact. It's somewhat similar to the movie. Sakura only got hit, so why a bridal save? Has anyone ever thought of this? Ah well, I smell Kishi is planning something for NS. All we have to do is wait.

[MangaReader]

Well the whole concept of Naruto since day one is friendship makes you stronger... that could be why Sakura seems to have "reserves". She basically draining herself for him though

True. After all, in Part 1 it was explained that one of the components of chakra is the spirit. And Sakura does have a strong one, especially when it comes to him.

Hinata is more stronger she can go OOC and affect other characters to go OOC too.

It still begs the question on why continue to develop her with Naruto's relationship if friendship is supposedly the limit. People can say she's the main character, but Kishi could easily work his out to make them stay that way with no dropping hints, no teases, and many more, yet he still did it. Now in the movie, he made it worse to make it seem like they can be more. What gives?

I think we all know the answer with that question...

[TouKen4Life3g]

I don't know why, but maybe because it's only 3 chapters in of this volume, but I feel like Sakura is going to have one resolution in this volume. I just don't know why. I mean she has been surfacing a lot for the past 3 chapters, so will it continue? Looks that way.

She's definitely going to be featured hard in this volume. And think about it at the 2010 JF Kishi said Kakashi and then Sakura. Look at the events...while Kakashi is receiving resolution, Sakura becomes more prominent...coincidence much?
If it's not now, the next volume for sure.
