Really? Because I hear tell different stories coming from it and from several friends I know who go there on a daily bases. Myself I went there once and got flamed right off the bat within the first ten comments.

Anyone remember that hoax story about Sakura was meant to die back in Kage Summit Arc. That was something else, wasn't it.

Jeez! People these days

It's funny how some almost fell for the April fool's joke about Kishi stating that NS is impossible and NH will continue to push forward.

Really I want to do a psychological test on some of these Sakura haters. A challenge so to speak, not a test like they are crazy or something. More like what is the real reason why you hate Sakura?

On another note....I need a medical expert.
Does anybody know the reason why my headache becomes unbearably painful added with a sudden urge to puke when I lie down? Maybe I ate something bad. It would be great if anybody might have the experience regarding this.

 

IThis happenes to me from time to time. Even when I am not lying on the bed. In my case it's to the blood pressure. Which I am curently taking medications from doctor. i know it's not fun. Three times I was even brought to tears, of how sick I felt...

Deep breaths Pepsi, no offense but you don't quite know what you're talking about. James didn't specifically pointed names. He knows what he's talking about and some of us get it. It was about a certain situation overall, not with something/someone specific.

jolly good, except I don't recall ever implying that he was ever referring to anyone specific.

Seriously I don't think Kishi was playing with the fans when he made Hinata tripped. My opinion is that he was making a point when he draw that scene. He wanted to prove that Hinata is not the heroine of the story, that she's not Naruto's love interest. Sakura is all of the above whether the anti Sakura fans like it or not. This is probably an answer from his response of the 2009 Jump Festa interview "you say Hinata Hinata, I say she's not Hinata".

There is no need to prove who is heroine as it is clearly known who is heroine, it takes whole new level of stupidity to not recognize main character. Also why do people make such a tragedy over Hinata tripping? Sakura has been knocked by rock, and got so scarred that she forgot to breath (we NS find so many excuses for these things), let's not be like Sakura haters, obviously Hinata was exhausted she is not on Team 7 level. =)

I am tired of this whole "Well, it is obviously this negative way and if you don't take it that way, then you are not reading the manga right." Some of you I swear it's like you have never read any other manga besides Naruto.

Top KEK.
 

"Sakura denies her love for Naruto."
-Okay, I don't see any real downright denial, but even then how many times in other manga has the main love interest denied AND still got together with the main hero? I am bringing up Love Hina because it is very similar to this. Narusegawa hit Keitaro a lot and she denied every time someone teased her about her feelings for Keitaro.

She's not in love with Naruto romantically speaking off neither acknowledges what she feels about his as this love because she still connects that to Sasuke.
Sakura was never teased about her feelings for Naruto honestly, we had only one scene with Yamato which was cut off and pretended it didnt existed later, which cant even be labelled as a tease.
I dont think that specific case is similar because Sakura hit Naruto becuase of his stupidities not because she was teased.
If she was really in love with Naruto she would've acknowledged that on the confession and right after that but no Kishimoto kept showing she and her feelings for Sasuke.
 

"Who would ever be in love with a worthless drop out like that?"
Seriously, she says something like this ALOT in the manga and yet still at the end of the series she marries him.

That's where the two characters differs, Sakura thought about Naruto like this in the begining of the manga, which is where shounen and shoujo differs.
 

It happens more often than you guys think and any manga avid reader probably has seen this happen in several stories. I would not be surprised to see this in Naruto. Hell, I am watching Sword Art Online for the umteenth time and just watched the episode where Asuna did the same thing. "No way, it is not like that" and yet it is totally like that and every other character knows it.

It is a classic manga trait especially when it comes to Tsundere characters. Why would it not work for Naruto? Why is Naruto automatically taken so differently?

I know it happens however it misses keys aspects for it to work like putting Sakura into jealous situations like making Naruto popular with grills and etc...
 

There is nothing wrong with Naruto's and Sakura's relationship. It is actually very well developed and pretty good when really looking at it. The transitions are smooth and their growing love is apparent especially when even other characters are pointing it out. That's pretty sad when we won't acknowledge their relationship and yet, the characters in the manga do it all the time.

Well NS was really good developed but the sake of pairing drama damaged it and Sasuke too, it would make more sense if SS if it had a real ground to begin with not a childish crush being portraited as a genuine love.
 

And 631, Minato actually smiled at Naruto and Sakura's relationship and made the comment that Sakura is just like Kushina. Kushina who ALSO thought her future husband was a dork and stupid and even probably denied her feelings too. I am betting Minato even had a few moments like NS had in 631 which is why it reminded him of it and Minato and Kushina became an official couple.
 
Please, just stop. It's getting bad.

Which is a moment of half and half to me, it had it's good side which confirmed NS to me but the bad side is that it damaged NS development instead of being something unique to the story we had yet another tsundere getting the hero of that time and acting the same way with a few differences like Kushina not having a crush to begin with howeve both of those girls like to play damsel in distress.

Hey how popular was Naruto: Road to Ninja from the other movies and if it was popular was it because Naruto and Sakura had many interactions with each other in the film among other things??

No it was more popular than the others because of the interactions between Naruto and his parents, and mostly because of their presence. That in addition to the fact that all the side characters had an opposite personnality. But the NS interactions were good for NS fans. I remember that before the movie was released and when there were ads, people were saying it would be the best Naruto movie ever because of NH and SS interactions in the ads, but when the movie was released and we were told this movie was more focused on NS and that there was almost no NH and SS interactions in the whole movie, those same people were saying the movie sucks compared to what they were saying before knowing of the NS screen-time.

Hmm I see that's understandable lol. The reason why I'm asking is if there was ever chance if they made another movie that it would showcase more NS scenes or to be a little more revolved around Sakura especially. I know some people don't especially like it when Sakura plays the damsel in distress around this time in the series but it wouldn't be so bad in another movie!? I mean other popular series has had movies where the heroine is always kidnapped or in danger and the hero/heroes do everything in their power to save them. Main examples are:
Bleach Fade to Black
One Piece Strong World
Inuyasha Movies (can't remember which ones specifically)
It wouldn't be so bad if Sakura was taken away by a villain for reasons unknown and Naruto would do anything In his power to save her in the movie!? lol

That's what happened at a point in RTN

[MoonDrop04]

Yeah but for some reason that rescue wasn't as much thrilling and suspenseful as they could have portrayed it and in the end it was the AU Akatsuki that rescued sakura and took her out of harms way while naruto was mainly focused on fighting Menma and Obito/Madara. Hmm I guess I'm making excuses for there to be another NS based movie ain't I?? lol. Don't get me wrong RTN was really good but the way they showed Sakura's plot to be focused on her relationship with her parents and not just about her character only just seemed......."not needed" I guess?? O_o
Like they could have done something about her parents in the anime only and not in a movie...

[narusaku256]

What if things really turn out like the RTN movie? Like, Madara taking Sakura a hostage and then Naruto fights the main Madara and Sasuke playing the role which Itachi played in the movie.

That would be disappointing T_T lol cause Sakura should help kick Madaras a** a little with Naruto and Sasuke and not being able to do anything during the main battle!!! Though I can actually imagine that happening in the last bit of the final fight when naruto deals the final blow to Madara
