After seeing the hate of the past two weeks towards Sakura and NaruSaku, its just reached a level of well, its run off, I mean 2 weeks ago, there was a meltdown due to the Sakura-Kushina event. The last week we got people leaping all over how Sakura reacted to Sasuke but not Naruto, now we have this internal moment of Hinata just using Neji's instruction and Naruto's determination to complete her skill and just keep moving forward. Haters to me now act like they are trying to find something that undermines or overtakes 631's Sakura-Kushina event, but this is a not happened and I just don't see how it can be overtaken, undermined, or redone. I mean minato is not going to go, "oh that Hyuga girl must be Naruto's girlfriend." or "Kushina is wrong." Basically almost anything for Hinata or SS, people are trying to act like it does something but nothing happened to Kushina's foreshadow, the Sakura-Kushina parallel just was built upon it and it will continue forward. If anything another parallel was confirmed in full with the summonings, now the Sannin parallel has been fulfilled, all of team 7 has their instructors teachings shown within them. I feel that the start of 631 however is only the beginning, as haters may not like it 631 could only have been the start of NS stuff. In other words, NS has a lot of ammo left.
The big guns, basi:
-Kushina's foreshadow, recently built on due to the Sakura-Kushina parallel from Minato, this will resurface later most likely with other past development between in NS.
-The forehead compliment, if this arises, it may be an imminent event for NS to come forward, the whole parallel, similar background of events between Naruto-Sakura and Minato-Kushina could come forward. Heck you can count Sakura's forehead seal as a reason for this too.
-The final fight, Naruto vs. Sasuke, Sakura has always been caught between these 2, this can be the point she turns if not yet at this point. In other words, Sakura has a lot of importance here, worried over them dying, I say this is the ace in the hole.
Other elements which can come up:
- Sakura's knowledge of Naruto loving her- has not been touched upon since after the confession, if she brings it up or Naruto does himself, she can reveal she knew because of Sai. This is not insane to think, this is reasonable.
- Addressing the land of iron events, its possible unless Naruto really is the forgive and forget type, he knew why Sakura did it, for him and his wellbeing. No reason to think he would be angry at her.
- Naruto's clarifying his feelings for Sakura, to some 631 may not have been enough so unless we see something more direct or obvious by a thought or comment, then that can clear some stuff up.
- Sakura putting Naruto over Sasuke, again she has done this in the past a few times, it can happen again.Something like her siding with Naruto for hokage or putting concern for him above Sasuke in the vs. Sasuke fight.
- Furthering Yamato's and Sai's perception, this can come back in a flashback, mainly if we get some scene of Sakura realizing how Naruto likes her and if she truly loves Naruto.
- Further input from Minato, long as he is there this can come up again.
- Sasuke giving Sakura a kakashi-rin I'm not the right guy, or "that was not me on that day" type ordeal speech. If Sasuke talks to Sakura the same way over his actions like Kakashi did to rin, that fits a parallel, if not but we get something like Sasuke only remembering what he said to Sakura that day (about being alone) then that would trigger the forehead compliment event.
Heck there are more then this I bet, but already 9 extra things in reserve, this is all I can think of but NS has 3 big guns it can use and a few more left in reserve as reoccuring or minor events. Still this is quite a nice lineup. So yeah, we got a few shots left and 631 was the opening and just the start. Heres hoping this things or stuff like them comes forward.
