Hi guyz. I new here,
I love this chapter. We see so much in only 17 pages. And its not only Sasuke...We see Naruto too and he goes for Sakura. But I think in next chapter there will be team 7 reunion.. Kakashi and Naruto will get to the bridge.But I warn you be prepared for the worst. I think Sakura will be going with Sasuke and broke narutos heart.Yes i believe she will play part 1 Sakura ( I love that part of her, is so funny)to fool Sasuke. Because Sasuke will be thinking that Sakura still is his fan girl and i know he knows Naruto loves her. And he will use this to capture Naruto in the future. I believe Sasuke,Naruto and Sakura wont fight now.Only talking. I afraid for Karin life. I don't wanna see karin to be killed by sakura.
IDK kishi is unpredictable bastard. But I believe sakura will never betray her village, parents,Tsunade,Naruto( She cried when she finds he is a Kyubi host. Damn it.) unless kishi forgot things he wrote.
And please, Kishi in Jump Festa didn't said that he is enraged by NH mails. ( I read this interview 10 x) If he is, I wanna link.
Thanks,
Luna M.

Okay, no offense to you because you are new and all, but I am so sick of some Naruto fans coming to a FC of any pairing and saying: "But I warn you be prepare for the worst" or "Don't be disappointed when this happens."

First off, you know just about as much as we do. You cannot know what kishi is going to do or what he is thinking in this process. In fact the only thing we DO know is two things. 1. Sakura's confession was real to Naruto. Kishi confirmed this in an interview. 2. Sakura is supposed to be the heroine according to Kishimoto which means that she is playing with a few aces on her sleeve.

Sometimes to be the hero, you have to be the villain yourself.

Now I can say "Hey all you SasuSaku fans....prepared to be disappointed when Sasuke dies" or something along those lines, but as a fan I respect others and their views even if I do not agree. I also have no idea what is really going to happen, but I can have a theory based off the evidence we do know of.

It is VERY doubtful that SasuSaku is going to happen...it has like a 0.001% chance of happening. I know this because you have to look at Sasuke, not Sakura for this answer. I don't know what world some people live in, but I believe that a relationship involves two people who love each other....not one with a crush and the other not caring and calling her a burden.

I'm just seeing a Tsunade vs Orochimaru parallel, leading into the Sanin battle parallel. And I think we'll end up with a similar outcome with Sasuke being so physically messed up he has to leave with Madara, Sakura temporarily incapacitated but will be fine after a bit of rest, Kakashi (being basically put in Shizune's spot in that battle) minor injuries but basically okay, and Naruto pretty much uninjured. I think they'll save Karin too and take her back to Konoha with them. And look what happened after the Sanin battle too- Tsunade and Jiraiya began to grow closer, and that without even being aware of each others feelings. Sakura knows Naruto loves her and she's told Naruto she loves him, so they are way ahead of where Tsunade and Jiraiya were at the end of the Sanin battle.

I hope it plays out this way too, Naruto rescuing his girl.

That's hot, lol sorry it's freakin 5:50am...
Anyways, I hope! If they were to get closer in this battle, well; lmao I don't think there relationship would have any problem becoming canon. Though, I don't think Kishimoto is gonna make any couple canon until the end *sigh* .. It'd be amazing though lol. Although, there relatonship is slightley different from THERE masters, they didn't keep there feeling for each other bottled up inside, well at least Sai didn't let them. Sai is proNaruSaku lol. Okay back on subject, so JiraTsun relationship is different because they never said "I love you" or "I truely feel..." etc. This could be like a mirror of how it might have been for NaruSaku if Sai didn't come along and go "Oh and that boy over there loves you, but you kinda hurt him so you better go do some dingbat plan now so it can be stopped by that boy and he gets angry and etc"... Wow I am not awake at all lol

..^ I got a theory,about Tsunade that will have a dream about Jiriaya. Its kinda plausible because she is till in a coma.

I hope so. Since she's in a coma she's drifting between life and death so she could encounter all her dead loved ones.

[firegirl]

i really dont know whats going to happen soo im going to keep an open mind. SAKURA IS SMART NOT STUPID THATS FOR SURE

i came up with some things im not doubting im just keeping an open mind in every direction

IF shes goes with him
'
IF its a tsunada redux

IF she fights him and almost dies(i feel its more predictable)

If she heal karin and then suigestu and juugo apears

IF she is going to painfully tell naruto shes going with sasuke(im actually staring to doubt this one)

IF kakashi iterfears and they fight sasuke together kakashi almost gets killed and sakura unlocks her hidden element(i know no going to hapen)

i think that may be true, but...i think kishi won't make its relationship workout till naruto or sakura actually finally say it to the other themselves. and as much as i want them to do it faster...kishi may not....

I think when Sakura said: " I will leave konoha and follow you"
She was trying to give Sasuke the impression that she was the same stupid little girl who has a crush on him.
Sasuke will let her join, since she's a med nin to replace poor Karin but he has a slight doubt that she has a plan aginst him but his arrogant in his strength will blind him!!

I think that's an excellent idea. Turning Sasuke's lack of knowledge about her and predisposition towards her, and turning it against him - brilliant!

Regardless of how Sasuke takes her little proposition, we still know so little about her. But we do know that she is a capabale strategizer. And that she left with a plan, which she is actively carrying out.

She's also capable of disguising her feelings to achieve that goal: She looked sad when Sai caught on to her, then she was fired up when Kiba and Lee went after Sai. Voila - a little sleeping gas and she's on her way.

So yeah, approaching Sasuke in the same fangirl way he would expect is a great plan. If she plans on going with him, then she needs him to accept her. What better way than to act like she's still on his side.

Now, Kishi could really, really up the angst level by putting her in precarious positions: Having to lie to Sasuke about her feelings ("Why, of course I still love you"), having to lie to Naruto about her feelings to protect him ("So sorry, I was mistaken. I don't love you anymore" *sniff, sniff*). Madara could really put her in a bind too by requiring her to join Akatsuki/don the cloak along with Sasuke.

Call me cruel, but I would LOVE to see that stuff happen!

that's an excellent theory as well, something Kishi would do, but I also hate it because i'm not going to beable to see Naruto get hurt, not again... A great plot twist, but all heart-breaking..

Thats beautiful.

[Strangelove]

The reality is...this doesn't make any sense...

Sakura wants to keep Naruto from Akatsuki's clutches...yet for some reason here she is in the last panel saying she is leaving Konoha to go with Sasuke...Im sorry...but how in the world does that help Naruto overcome the pain she has caused him? Then again she is...the smartest ninja, next to Shikamaru...

We just know precious little about Sakura, what makes her tick, her interactions with anyone outside Team 7 (ie. parents, training with Tsunade in the time skip, etc.), and most importantly, what her thougts and plans are now.

You're right - how does any of this help him overcome his pain? I have no idea. Truly. *shakes head*

But I have a feeling that we, the audience, are going to have to keep our faith in Sakura during this part. That whatever plan she's carrying out, it's going to cause Naruto more pain before it's over.

[Gravenimage]

Perhaps this is the arc that Kishi will make Naruto and Sakura closer than ever. Sakura knows that Naruto loves her very much and this is all his twisted idea to make their bond even stronger than before. We know N/S has everything humor, friendship, equal understanding, drama, angst and love. Kishi is creating all kinds of drama, tension and angst so that both of them overcome them together. With loves come sacrifice Sakura wants to stop Sasuke herself in order to protect and the village she has come to terms that the Sasuke she once knew is no more. I'm sure Sakura will show her intentions in this upcoming chapter but I have never lost faith in Sakura and I'm not going to start now.

I think that she conscious that her plan will cause Naruto's pain (I think that the 'Naruto, I'm sorry ' in chapter 470, page 6, demonstrated that fact). However, she also know that Naruto will never give up on Sasuke and will always peruse him . She want to make a stop on his never dieing wish to save Sasuke so she decide to break it herself (which cause him a lot of pain).

However, you're right, this plan will cause Naruto pain no matter what.

You're right, I too, think that the upcoming chapter will be the struggle that could make their bond stronger. So far, they never got really separated, they were always together and it easy to maintain a bond when you're close. However, this 'separation' could show if, indeed, that bond that we have seen so far is really strong.

As for Sakura' intention, I doubt that we will know all the detail of her plan yet (if she succeed in 'joining' Sasuke, of course).

Same here. I could very well be wrong, but I'm just feeling her plan is going to continue to parallel Tsunade's when she took on Orochimaru alone, leading to a Team 7 fight that parallels the Sanin fight.

One interesting point to note, Sakura is horrible at hiding anything from those she cares about, but to those she sees as an opponent or enemy she can fool quite well. Compare how she fooled Sai before she punched him shortly after they met, to how easily he picked up on her lying to him about not taking on Sasuke alone. Look at how she kept her tone firm and steady (although she was shaking inside with fear) as she lied to Sasuke at the end of chapter 482 (note the lack of facial anger indicators- unlike her angry defense of her feelings to Naruto in 470- when she lies to Sasuke her expression is neutral but firm.)

Am I alone in saying I'm exhausted of watching Sasuke's melodrama? What ever happened to the protagonist of a story being the center point of the plot? I have faith that Kishi hasn't completely messed up Sakura's character and she's bluffing due to ulterior motives.

What a random chapter.

No, you're not the only one who's tired with the Uchiha drama

As for Sakura's, if Kishi said that he would make her more heroine-like, I think all we could do is to have faith in him. So far, I never really have any reason to doubt in his writing and it not now that I'm going to start.
