I'd respond to that list, but it's really not worth the effort. I don't think even most serious NaruHina fans would cite reasons like that.

But, I must say that its rather convenient that NaruSaku is a read hearing. Funny how that works out, don't ya think?


hahahahaha, yeah

Naruto and Sakura being revealed as real siblings is a serious theory now.

Well, I suppose there is a bit of resemblance between Kushina and Sakura. That's just about were the evidence ends.....

Um_ ok How would they even be real siblings really? Can, you say George Lucas, if that happened? Oh by the way all the girls to me look a lot alike.

It'd just be a waste of a very well constructed relationship if they were....I think the NaruHina fans are getting a little too desperate tongue.gif

And even if NS becomes canon they'll probably be saying something like "Naruto's going to realize that his feelings for Sakura were just a silly crush and wore off long ago, then he'll break up with her and come back to Hinata proclaiming his undying love to her".......... sweatdrop.gif the pairing wars will never truly end, will they?

No, but you can give them a nuke for every purchase they made for NaruHina merchandise.

Indeed, no matter what happens, pairing wars will rage on.

I just want to be able to say, listen.. support what you support, for w/e reasons. In the end, NaruSaku is what became canon, the feelings and signs we've seen through the series were correct.

Then i'll take my leave, and let them say w/e. biggrin.gif

By the way, what chapter is that Shikaku quote in? I don't remember... Actually, that's a lie, I kinda skipped a HUGE part of the manga, like, the end of pre-time-skip, and the beginning of post-time-skip. Although I still know like everything that went on... xD




It's ch. 172.

Oh, and point of clarification, regarding the rant... that scene at Ichiraku's was filler, the only part that actually happened was the end where Naruto smiled and reassured Sakura about Sasuke. That was on a bench, and it was a flashback from Sakura.
But it's okay that we lost that one small moment; after all, we've got so many more! xD
I just wanted to correct that so NH fans wouldn't have the ''filler moment'' ammo to use against us like we do to them.

Sigh... do I really need to go into this? First of all, Naruto's mom is dead. Gone. Deceased. Finished.
(Actually, she might be alive somewhere, far, far away, but certainly not in Konoha.)
Remember waaaay back, in the first volume where Sakura is talking to Sasuke, and she says ''he doesn't have anyone to answer to, and it's made him completely selfish! If I did the kinds of things he gets away with, my parents (note, parentS) would ground me for life!''

This states that, obviously, both of Sakura's parents are, in fact, alive, as to where Naruto's parents are both dead.

It is SO obvious.

I'm beginning to agree with the assessment that the Hinata --> Naruto has many of the same characteristics of the Lee --> Sakura relationship. It seems it's going to be resolved the same way.

However, because Hinata took much longer for her to take the same path of protection as Rock Lee, it had to be bigger and grander. It also allowed the fans of the particular pairing to grow larger. Also, LeeSaku even if it took as long to resolve would still not be as popular because the self inserted female does not find Lee attractive while the self inserted male in NaruHina thinks Hinata is attractive.

There is an abundance of evidence from other shows/manga that indicate that the answer is a resounding "hell no."

Regardless of the chosen pairings, I hope he doesn't do this (I don't seriously believe he will). It would be an enourmous cop-out and an incredibly lazy peice of writing in which he tries to have his cake and eat it too.

^ I agree with this.

I honostly don't think Kishimoto trolls as much as everyone says he does.

What Nate said wouldn't even be trolling, it'd be committing manga-suicide to the NS-fans anyways. XD

You clearly have no idea how many incest fans there are then. The amount of NS fans would only increase. biggrin.gif


I wasn't talking about Nate's post though. I was speaking in general.. everyone says what Kishi is doing is trolling, mostly when it comes to NS. I just don't agree with that. Everything is pretty cut and dry when I read it.

It's not about trolling or manga suicide. One thing is certain, some subset of fans will not be happy with the pairing. To pick a pairing based on which would do the least amount of fandom damage would be a literary disgrace.

The reason I say their theory about being literal siblings is a cop-out is because it allows him to explain away tons of NaruSaku development with the result that they get to "be together" with each other AND get to be together with their supposed loves. Nobody ends up unhappy. Nobody is settling. All development is explained away and all fans get "something." And everything fits in a nice little package.He gets to have it both ways. He gets NaruSaku (sorta) and NaruHina/SasuSaku.

Think of the everyone must be paired fanfics where scorned lovers and the left-outs get paired with someone at the very end (regardless of whether it makes a lick of sense or lack of development) so nobody ends up alone or unhappy. Them being real brother and sister would be Kishimoto's equivalent to that. Unless he'd been setting that up from the get go (and he hasn't been), it would be an incredibly cheap way to try and avoid pissing people off with the most likely result of pissing everyone off because its so cheap.

The relationship between Naruto and Sakura has been portrayed as romantic far too much for him to pull something like that. Most series with something like that, it'd be hinted at in different occasions and there are no romantic feelings between the 2 characters.

I won't say i'm well read in alot of stories like that, though. 3-4 tops.

I am sorry. I'm not the best with Internet lingo, but "trolling." The only trolling I know of is intentionally going on X board to insult people and make them mad.
