I've been seeing a lot of people saying that Naruto may have actually got over Sakura. Even though this sounds silly considering all the development in the series and the fact that common sense would tell us that he has no reason to give up on her just because she still loves Sasuke, I have went and cropped out 3 images from the manga to show you full proof of him still loving Sakura and not Hinata.

Sakura and Hinata --Click here to view--

Now who did he use -Chan with? If he has developed feelings for Hinata, why didn't he address her with -Chan? Also, if he had already given up on Sakura, why is he still calling her Sakura-Chan?

Hope I helped somebody!

I still think this SS moment incoming is going to be a big moment. Kishi is going to troll and asspull something.

I agree, however I think that the next SS moment will be the last. I feel like we might get an RTN moment where she sees Karin all over Sasuke and decides that she has had enough. Though to me, it seems like she places Naruto above Sasuke in terms of who she cares about. For example, if she cared more about killing Sasuke to prevent him from falling deeper, why did she go to Naruto before in order to try to protect his feelings?

Plus when Naruto and Sasuke clashed, She didn't yell out Sasuke's name, but instead yelled out Naruto's. It seems like Sakura's inner feelings only come out in extreme situations.

Well the only thing we can count is the manga but thats where it counts, many things are still NaruSaku developed. As I said before though, Sakura will have some big moment or speech to Naruto, if not this arc then the Naruto vs Sasuke arc. They are going to fight, Sakura is going to be concerned.

Also at Darkrest I wouldn't say Kishi just closed off so many routes to NS, I mean there are still hundreds of ways it can come. Given the position of the manga for now, we really don't know what will come given the battlefield and the power it just unleashed, all we know is the kages coming and the kakashi vs obito fight, even then Sasuke may take a detour for something else if he does not go right to the battlefield. Its just in a state of things can become good of just sink and the story can become messed up. For now the story is intact and NS is green but its just an unknown route for now.

Also for anyone worrying if we get a scene like Sakura being in trouble and Sasuke suddenly saves her, I woundn't absolutely panic about SS, I mean remember, the fight between Naruto and Sasuke could almost be an ace in the hole for NS. Plus Hinata has no role or purpose in this area, this is a territory we cannot lose, Hinata is practically barred from this.

It's kinda a contradiction he did closed a lot of roads that it became unpredictable and will surprise if it happens, Sakura will not fall in love with him after realizing all the things he did to her and what he is to her life, because she did that on the confession and still loved Sasuke, Naruto saved her life, and still she was in love, Naruto encouraged her and still she was in love.

@HauntedCake
Well it's plausible to think that SS is coming since Kishimoto is toying with pairings fanservice lately, we got NaruHina, LeeSaku, SaiSaku, SasuIno, NaruIno, SasuKarin and SasuSaku.
Maybe the only who didnt had fanservice was NaruSaku unless we count 628 as a pairing fanservice.
But i believe that there will be SS because this girl seems unable to realize things by herself maybe she will see him and make a decision if she will pursue him and let it go, this is the reason why SS is coming, it will decide if she will continue loving Sasuke or if she already let it go.

I find it funny that even SD spin-off made a reference to this. I remember that if Hinata does the same as Sakura, he will fall in love with her and call her Hinata-chan. I thought that was funny. Nevertheless, it's true what you said.

Well if kishi is doing a random job then that means the story is full of random unpredictability, so there is really no telling. I mean there will be interaction again between Sakura and Sasuke but at this point, I wound not say Sakura would outright just ignore Naruto.

But yeah for now the story is still stable and NS is green, I mean there are still thousands of ways it can come. NS is still alive, able to make a good piece of the ending, great development ending for Sakura and does a lot for Naruto and the story alongside the other stuff. Many paths to this are still open. Sasuke has not done anything yet so its still stable. We can get a very good ending or a very bad one if he decides to do the mother of all asspulls SS butchering the development of 2 main characters at once.

Not sure who started to lose faith but...wow that post is great. I didn't think about that. You know, imagine if they actually brought that back again. Speaking of that, I just remember that he made a predication that Naruto will fight a guy with evil eyes, so does that mean Naruto vs. Sasuke is really sealed then? It could be tricky, but then again, he was getting to close to reveal the result but Naruto cut it off. So yeah, I guess it's destiny that they will fight.

Glad you enjoyed it! I took what Miami said and immediately made the connections myself, so I took her info and added my few two cents and voila. The Toad Sage's words definitely will play a big part. Many have thought it's Obito, the young guy, but I still believe it's going to be Sasuke. zthis 'redemption' of his is strange. Probably Kishi left it on purpose because think at it. Everybody thinks he is redeemed now and wouldn't probably be waiting for this fight between them, right? Well, imagine the audience's reaction when they will see them fighting. It's Kishi's style. Going under and upper hills with the situations.

I'm almost tempted to go to GF just to purvey that link. Your post was spectacular and it really is an informative piece of literacy. Personally I have little comprehension of those mythological concepts. I interpret the Naruto franchise similarly as I would with any fictional literary creation but I understand that there is an incredible amount of depth to itself. You really deserve all the praise that you receive. If anything should be at the forefront of debating material for NS it should be your posts because to be honest it's difficult to find such things on other forums that reinforces NS or there is a general lack of concern for it because people are complacent in their views.

Well, I did find this on NF, to be honest. It's just that information is scattered around the forums, that's why, whenever I find something, I do some research myself, look at the manga and this is the outcome. As for the people, I am sure that they will deny it, those who are against NS, however, it fits best for us because we know how much back-up we have for our pairing and when they will be cannon, we can literally say to them, we told you so. I know it might sound mean, but it's the truth.

Oh no not what I ment at all. In the post theres a like section and its said Chatte likes this. So I ment it in the "like" (facebook style) sense. I can see how you could missunderstand me.

Oh, I see now. Sorry for the confusion on my part too. I was tired at that hour, there was already a lot of confusion going on and gloomy days around so with that link I just wanted to put a smile on people's face so we can forget about the negativity. ^^

Well, Kishi is known for doing this and who knows, he can learn something new and decided to take that route. Right now, he's going there to stop the evil that takes out all. He might as well do it since he won't be "awake" to carry on if the plan goes through. That said what's next after that? We don't know but it's not simple. Sasuke will fight Naruto with a purpose. It's only matter of time when we will learn what's in store.

I forgot you're in different time zone. I got to sleep. It's late.

Before I go, I'll leave one topic for everyone. What would you prefer?

Naruto and Sakura standing side-by-side.
Naruto: Sakura-chan, no matter what happens, I'm glad that we stick together to the end.
Sakura: Naruto...
Naruto slowly let go of her hand, walks to the final battle. After the battle, no romance pairing confirm or moment at all.

Or

Naruto is running to the battlefield as Sakura watches him.
Sakura: Naruto! Where are you going?
Naruto still running: Going to fight Sasuke once and for all!
Sakura: I love you.
Naruto from far distance: Woo! I love you too!
Naruto lefts to the battlefield. after the battle, no romance moment at all.

Second choice is so anti-climatic.

can I choose neither? ..............if I have to choose might as well be the second one. XD both are pretty anti-climatic lol

IMO I don't think the Chan or Kun thing necessarily has to mean feelings, I think when NS does become canon that Sakura will still refer to Naruto as just Naruto.

Least I hope so, Idk but Naruto-Kun just reminds me to much of Hinata and I don't want Sakura saying it haha, it's one thing I dislike about many fics when Sakura calls Naruto "Naruto-Kun" just a personal preference though.

[HauntedCake]

Is that before or after she faints ?


I don't think NH will get anymore interaction. She's had her moment. Only interaction i could see would involve some sort of closure on Hinata's feelings for Naruto. So basically good for us.

I could see some SS interaction. Because i believe Sakura needs to overcome her "love" for Sasuke before she can give in to her feelings for Naruto.
I think she needs to get some sort of closure on her feelings for Sasuke. So i don't see how that would be possible without some sort of interaction between the 2 of them.

I could see us getting tortured by Kishi. Making it seem like Sakura will choose Sasuke only to troll NH and SS fans and have her choose Naruto instead.
We know Kishi likes to troll and show NH/SS moments only to have them topped by an NS moment.

Bolded: This is the thing, he's going to troll instead of being serious about the pairings.

Now who did he use -Chan with? If he has developed feelings for Hinata, why didn't he address her with -Chan? Also, if he had already given up on Sakura, why is he still calling her Sakura-Chan?

Isn't the same thing happening with Sakura??? Addressing Sasuke with -Kun, and Naruto only by his name???

But I want ROMANCE

Don't know the first kinda stays in character for the both of them, while the other is a bit cheesy.


The way I see it if Kishi wants to make NS cannon it's not gonna be something to over the top romantic but something more down to earth. That's why the second one feels to idealistic.

But let me ask you something thou, which one of the 2 would you pick if Kishi decides to kill Naruto and Sasuke in their final battle?

[Verilance]

Isn't the same thing happening with Sakura??? Addressing Sasuke with -Kun, and Naruto only by his name???

no in fact it is the opposite -kun sets a distance between the pair not using honorifics or using -chan shows familiarity

people should really start reading Adachi-pro if you want to see where Kishimoto gets his influence for romance, you should anyway as Adachi is possibly the best story teller in Manga

It's because she already has. She has already place Naruto above Sasuke in everything since he left the village and found out Naruto has understood her all along when he made her the POTLT. When he returned from failing to retrieve Sasuke she chose to put her entire trust in him and thus NS was already developing in full bloom from there.

The story is not stable and you just proved the point on the first line, if we follow the logic would be NS but since he's doing crap writing so i cant say 100% sure it will happen.

He alreayd butched Naruto's character and the whole part 2 main theme which was Naruto redeeming Sasuke.

Well we still don't know everything on Sasuke's side, until he actually gets to the battlefield, I'd say no real effects have come forward, I mean its still possible for him to somehow take what we perceive as bad from Sasuke and make it good. If anything I would call the story shaken, not outright ruined though, I mean we did see Sasuke's change coming from a mile away. The story logic is unpredictable in most cases now so we have no idea how it will go but for now nothing has come into effect on say NS, if something like the randomization of Sasuke saving Sakura happened than yeah that would be a case of butchery. But nothing has happened yet, thats the difference. The story can basically be said to have a disrupted foundation with Sasuke changing but its still standing, just depends on the future and what happens. NS is within that foundation but it has not been directly impacted yet. Bad elements are present but weather they persist to do more harm to the story remains to be seen, as I said, this could all suddenly turn better, I mean one story plot which should be a big one is Kakashi vs Obito and not just for revealing why he killed Rin. Minato would be effected by this too no doubt. If anything Kishi has become unpredictable but the current area of the manga also allows for many possible scenarios, kind of like when the war arc began. There are still hundreds (possibly thousands) of ways things can be brought forwards and yet still work, NS and the main plot are still within this wide range. That range shrinks though as new events come forward and new events open more possibilities in place of the closed ones. But some in the long run remain open, with the shaken main plot, its still got many of these lingering around. Just that Kishi is random and we don't know which of these hundreds of random roads he picked.

The story logic was simple, and now we dont know anything what will happen, the plot is going on a road to be ruined, we dont know much things about Sasuke, but the story is not stable.
About the bolded no it hanst because if it is you would point various scenarios and it didnt happen, i see a lot of people saying 100% sure but didnt point more than 1 scenario, i only see people saying that Sakura will meet Sasuke and make a decision which is dangerous because it can backfire.
Because always when it's obvious that something will happen kishimoto suddenly take a 180.

Obito's flashbacks, "Kishimoto will pull Obi/Rin on Naruto" then he kills Neji and fails hard to compare Rin's loss to Neji's loss.
Hashirama's flashbacks, "Sasuke will try to seek for a way to peace but will be different than Naruto" - i'll protect the village.
Kabuto - "Kabuto is immune to genjutsu" - Lose because of a genjutsu.
Naruto "Receives chakra from all the other bijuus and probably will win" - Hashirama comes to battle and will restrain the juubi.
Naruto 2 "I'll work hard and prove that a loser can surpass a genius" - It's revealed that comes from a clan that as a common ancestral with the Rikuudou Sennin and only reached the place where he is because of that, and everything on his life was planned and settled(Rasengan, Kyuubi control and so on...).
Sakura "When sakura realized how Naruto is important to her she will fall in love with him" - Realizes that he did everything to her and was the biggest influence on her life result is that still loves Sasuke.
Naruto 3 "I wont let the people who sacrificed things for me i wont let them down" - Neji dies and think about giving up.
Naruto 4 "It's because a lot of people sacrificed their lives for me i have to suceed" - Waste all of his chakra trying to protect his friends instead of defeating the juubi.

And so on...

Yes I agree the story is whacked right now and nothing is really certain on how it will go onward from that.

Yet still even with this uncertainty where do you think the story will go?

The story is going on a down road and i dont know how it will progress but i believe on NS and i know for sure that it will happen and will be surprisingly.
The type of scenario that happens and later you think "i told you it was the most logical thing would happen".
