@Sojobo - Well that's the only thing we should do, I think. I'd rather wait it out and see the results then argue about it with 'Them', it's not worth the energy.

BTW - I've seen those pics before, but I wouldn't consider it proof of NS's eventual canonocity. Kishi did have some involvement in Movie 3, so perhaps he decided to provide the anime team with drawings and models of those 3 characters to use for the movie villain's sacrifices. Or maybe it was the other way around, the anime team made these characters, Kishi liked them and decided to use them in the future? We don't know, do we.

Still, like I said it's a good find, but I think it would be a real stretch to call it proof.

I guess the OVA is a little treat to NS

They showed

The main pairing: Naruto and Sakura

The 2 main themes: Sasuke going crazy, Madara and Kabuto in the background.


Lol they could have at least made it funny, Kakashi was like OMG he is alive, and Sakura should have done what she does best, which is teach him a lesson.


Anyways the ending was beautiful, quite a treat. I just wonder if this are the same animators that gave Hinata more screen time than the 10 manga panels in the Pain arc.

oh hai! Kelren! lol, i agree fifty more times wont hurt lol but i think this only proves 2 things, 1. That narusaku is basically inevitable and just as proof that naruto wont die while fighting naruto, it is shown(in the ova) that both live but im not quite sure if that shows sasuke going blind or what but then we see a narusaku moment! ! Lol anD 2. The fight, Naruto vs Sasuke is going to be epic. Its just lurking with epic action and juicy romance andnplot twist, just think about it and watching the ova makes me excited to see the fight ! I also like how kakashi was like looking at the sky and trying to not cry lol, anyone get an inference of that? Idk what was up with that, he is like a fatherly figure to naruto, so this clearly means kakashi will live ! And the NS moment, if you dont see that as a cannon proof, then pause the video and study sakuras expression, it clearly shows that she cares about him very deeply, she was worried that he was dead. What was your opinion on the ova guys? What inferences did you pick up? I am highly exstactic! For the upcomin chapters!

yooo well in the very first part of the vid...naruto has his arm up, but then it goes down (looking like hes dead) i wonder why is arm was up so high.....maybe touching sakura!!! okay i think im in fangirl mode now...(dont take me to seriously)

[Quinny52]

^ You know, you've just got me thinking, why did Naruto have his arm in the air before it dropped and he supposedely passed out? What was he doing before the vid actually started? He was already in Sakura's lap when it starts, so whatever he was doing it involved her.

Also, have you guys noticed that this is the first time ever that Naruto has been seen touching Sakura on her face.

so im not crazy yay!! yea this is the first time ever...i mean she touched his face before (to wake him up from that itachi thingy) i hope this happens in the manga....(but the arm thing is still getting me )

Yep, I notice and I must admit that it's even sweeter then the bench scene ( hell, it's even better then all the NaruSaku material in my POV). I know that it's shoudn't be consider as cannon material as it hasn't benn showed in the manga but still, seeing Naruto openly showing his affection with his hand gently touching Sakura's face really is an awesome achievment for Naruto as he's not the kind of guy to show that kind of emotion. The only one that had the honor was his mother so when it will actually happen in the manga, THIS will really show that Naruto has accept that Sakura can love him after all.

Yeah that's the first time Naruto have given some physical contact on Sakura in the anime because in the manga was 484 when he saved her from Sasuke paralel to Mina/Kush when he saved her from Madara.

Well, it's true that saving her while holding her in bridal style was a first to him. However, considering the situation, while I don't disregard it, I don't consider it as Naruto showing his affection toward Sakura. Naruto did it to save her, that's all. The first time that Naruto really did openly show his affection with a physical touch was while hugging his mother. It wasn't a life saving situation and there were no other signification other then showing a son openly show how much he want to be close to her.

I think that it was a very meaningful moment, considering that Naruto never show that kind of affection toward anyone else and that why I thing that, when Naruto will demonstrate his loveto Sakura the way he did it with his mother ( whenever it's being the one initiating a hug, a forhead kiss or, like in the OAV, a gentle touch to reassure her), it will definately be a solid proof that naruto accept Sakura's love for him and accept that he can, indeed, is worthy of it.

sometimes i think naruto doesnt want to touch sakura. Not that he really doesnt want to but, like...hes not sure if he can...( i dont think i said that right..)

[ShippudenGirl]

Dudes... Sasuke can die, but not Kakashi or Shikamaru. That would be upsetting - and would give Naruto twice as much the reason to kill Sasuke.

Kakashi AND Shikamaru dying? That'd be great, but one can only dream...


I would agree that Sasuke couldn't kill them or anyone related to Konoha outside of Danzou and maybe the council members that order the Uchiha execution. That would not be just stepping over the moral event horizon, it'd be crossing it at light speed. Redemption would be nearly impossible at that point because it would be impossible to sell it to the readers regardless of what Naruto says.

Nope, it was done by Norio Matsumoto and 166 was done by Hirofumi Suzuki.

Has Naruto ever made fun of Sakura? I know, he hasn't but who can prove me wrong.

Chaaa! Yes, when he goes to compliment her and screws up and she goes crazy( ex. When shippuden started, first episode when sakura bluahed and asked " so, do i look more like a woman now?" and he answers " Nope, you havent changed a bit " then sakura goes crazy) and haiii Kelren and Shippu-chan ! Havent seen you in foreva shippu-chan! And Kelren, XD i agree to that statement too, its like hes somewha nervous to touch her..

[Quinny52]

^ I wouldn't say that was a case of Naruto making fun of Sakura (or at least not intentionally). She had made a flirtatious comment towards him and was expecting a compliment, but the whole thing goes completely over his head (he didn't get the hint at all) and he goes and says she looks the same. All that was is just an example of Naruto's naivety and inexperience in courting.

ohh truee.. Im way off lol, mmkay, so i was thinking, in the OVA, i think the reason why naruto had his hand up at first is because, he was probably trying to calm sakura down, ya' know like " sakura-chan, dont worry i will be finee" and then he blacks out..But , i think that he told her he loves her before the fight because like, the expression on her face was stunning, and if so, i will confirm this up with my friend that works with TV tokyo, but yeah thats what i think.

I was also wondering why he had his hand up first. Maybe sakura was holding Naruto's hand before he passed out. Also your friend works at TV Tokyo, that is so cool! Your friend must love their job

naruto can be very oblivious sometimes XD and about the touching thing....i think he just doesnt want to get punched

No, what Naruto said was meant to be a compliment. Sakura didn't have a lot of confidence in herself or appearance at the onset, while Naruto always seemed to like her and think her attactrive. So to Naruto, she's the same great Sakura he liked in Part One. He's oblivous in not recognizing what she was actually asking for, but she also misunderstood his meaning at least, in part (in my opinion anyway), because she didn't have the same confidence in her appearance/herself that Naruto had.
