Precisely how I feel about that whole situation. I believe she does in fact have feelings for him given her response to seeing how Hinata and Naruto have interacted with one another. I've said this before but it feels like Sakura is in the same shoes as Naruto when it came to see and Sasuke. It's quite funny and telling at the same time. I'm a little anxious to see how she'll act when Sasuke does come back into the picture as a possible ally. Given what she and Naruto went through for him, and how much they've bonded over the coming months, one would think that this time, she'll be more mature like she has been around him. I personally can't see her falling into any fangirl mode, or such given how she's acted in his presence before in Part 2.

First encounter:

Sure, at first, she's met with sort of a shocked reaction but this is due to having not seen him in years. Same reaction was from Naruo also. She tries to attack him after to down him.

Second encounter:

She tries to attack him but she can't because of course, he's someone she cares about.

Possible reaction:

She may end up being somewhat surprised when he comes to the battle, but I don't see her getting all goggly eyed over him. I think we're gonna get her take on it, and then she's gonna wonder what's going on with Naruto and how he feels about his return. He may apologize, but I don't see her reaction being even close to Karin's. Like people have stated before, Karin is her own character.

Agreed, but also the fact of the matter is that even though they reunited before the Land of Iron, the Land of Iron reunion was the first time that she confronted Sasuke in all his evilness. Before that Sasuke was just a rogue nin.

Though on a another note, I wonder if the reason Orochimaru or possibly Sasuke decided to go to the battlefield so that Madara would keep Hashirama busy. Then Oro could just take control of the other Kages again.

What I'm wondering is how kishi will handle the K11 with the Juubi. I mean Team 10 had their closure with Asuma, Tenten and Lee can't really contribute anymore, Hinata got her chance to hold Naruto's hand, and Neji died.

The only one's I can see doing something significant are Kiba and Shino. What do you guys think?

Kiba may get something but Shino is forever alone.

Sai may get a role. Sakura's may be coming up but she still has a role near the end with the Naruto vs Sasuke fight.

Why those two specifically? And I'm surprised there aren't any craters in the ground. Lol

That makes a lot of sense. Hashirama will give his focus on Madara only that will give Orochimaru the chance to take control over the kages. I can see a lot of chapters been release because of this confrontation.

As far as sakura playing a role in naruto and Sasuke fight, I don't see much happening there. Maybe some inner conflicts, realizationa and her healing one at the end. Also, that's dependent on what type of fight they do have. Is much rather see her do something in this fight personally.

Heh, I thought Sakura was already given, I'm just picking out the rest of K11.

I said those two because it doesn't feel right that there just kind of there while Hinata gets the spotlight.

That and Shino is one of my favs

Unfortunately, it might be that way. Kishi is like aiming for one of the bigger importance of the group with the exception of Team 10. Neji was the root for Team 8 and Gai, while Team 10 (mainly Ino and Shikamaru) got taken care of by their fathers excluding Chouji. In Team 8, it's Hinata and in Team Gai, it's Rock Lee. Oddly enough, it follows the sequence from 573, only again, mainly focus the importance or rather, the popular of the team. It's hard to say if these guys will get more spotlights, but it feels like time is up because Juubi just caused mayhem that can easily clear up everyone and let conveniently left out the main characters alive. I feel that Kakashi saying, "I'll leave everything to you" pretty much means, finish the fight since it's now on the main phase. So, time will tell what will happen next.

Exactly, Sasuke might stay "good", but what if Naruto had to fight his own father? That would be epic and Sad at the same time.

It'd be.more interesting than him going against Sasuke at this point. Lmao.

Well that would be Sakura's role in the NvS fight. Her role is basically an ending to that inner conflict between how she feels for Naruto and Sasuke, prospect of losing one of the other, Naruto is the only one to make things right for everyone in the end though so obviously her hopes lie with him. Just in the event of this its Naruto we are hoping she chooses at last because of everything they did together.

As for the current fight, Sakura may have something soon, she has to do something. Its only due to her thinking that Naruto may be harming himself like in the 4 tails event, it may be taking its toll on him. Its only due to Sakura's concern and Kurama's input that its speculated Sakura may do something with Naruto like help him control the chakra or something else, just some event may come along to give her a heroine moment.

[ladyannelise]

it frustrates me sometimes when i caught myself imagining what the next chapter will be all about and then later on find myself thinking 'what the hell?'

i knew Sasuke will be redeemed but not in this way.. so i was thinking, maybe Kishi opted to do it this way -in this war- so that no one in Narutoverse can complain that he can't come back when he helped rescuing everyone.. still, it was too sudden.

i knew that somehow, Kakashi will have to face Obito, but again not in this way. they are now in another dimension and we'reabout to discover what really happened about Rin.,

and i know Sakura will now play a 'big' part in this war, then again, i'm preparing myself not to expect too much of Kishi, i just hope that he'll show us how he intends to make his heroine shine..

I still believe Sasuke and Orchimaru both have hidden motives... that was far to easy imo

It's a definite possibility for Sasuke and with Oro we know he's eventually going to turn on Sasuke. Possibly after the threat of Madara/Tobi and the MEP has been removed. If he can get a pair of Sharingan eyes then he would be a viable candidate for acquiring the Rinnegan which would make him a very dangerous opponent, especially if he's somehow capable of using SM now. For Sasuke I'm going with the theory several others have suggested about his method for achieving peace being different than that of Naruto's. He might have developed the same mentality as the Older Son and the Uchiha Clan who believed that power was the true means to acquiring peace. That or Madara is somehow able to influence him to where he turns once again but I doubt that will occur.

Same here. It feels all can end in a matter of two volumes. However, the one part I'm holding on is when the flashback of Orochimaru and Sasuke was talking about why Orochimaru attacked Konoha to begin with. We never got more into that. It happened before the past story was unfolding. That doesn't seem right. We just have to wait and see.

Saw somebody say earlier in the thread that Kate Higgins was a NaruSaku fan. Then I found this:



My ears are bleeding and not because of her singing voice

[redragon88]

^ Maybe she's pandering to the audience.

Love song = girl listeners = SasuSaku fans = more money

She figures that she'll get more money by selling a love song of SS instead of NS since the majority of girl fans probably prefer SS, therefore would be more inclined to by a song about their preferred pairing.

That's incredibly disappointing to hear and I haven't even listened to the video (I refuse to). It's almost equally astonishing that she would dress herself up like that just for the sake of creating a music video for an anime character's romantic relations. However, I have heard of others taking their preferences and interests to far worse extremities than that. Has she even reflected upon her own sentiments as to why SS is so appealing? Or is it simply due to Sakura's previous infatuation with Sasuke that has compelled her to adopt that preference as her own?
