Shooting star, Long kiss goodbye, For you, Utakata Hanabi, Orchestra of Midnight all are guranteed NaruSaku or heavilly imply it.

Yes yes i agree all except Utakata Hanabi. I actually thought this was more of a sasusaku ending. I guess your talking about the face Sakura looks at. I don't know if that's Naruto or Sasuke.

its Sasuke but the implication of the song and ending is that she is moving on from Sasuke and to something better. The spirals in the sky and the fact that Narutos face appears as well as the lyrics of the song confirm this.

I must've missed this. Where does this happen, Cat??

I've got a link to the ending here . Would you mind pointing it out for me?

[catsi563]

1:15 the face is pretty clearly his in shape and design.

[Quinny52]

Strange, I always thought that was a close up of Sakura's face.

Thanks anyway for replying.

[Fliss]

I'm pretty sure that's a close up of Sakura. The eyes are feminine and plus the lyrics right there are "When I close MY eyes". And since the song is coming from Sakura's perspective I would assume that's her.

The eyes (eye lashes, specifically) like Fliss said, are to feminine to be Naruto's.

We have good NS moments in a lot of endings, but not in this one.

Really, it was Sasuke in that first scene? I guess I just assumed it was Naruto, since the face seemed tanner and had a rounded chin (Sasuke's paler and has a pointier chin). The fact that the face didn't have whisker marks gave me doubts though.
Also, I'm kind of curious what the lyrics to that song are. Because obviously it can have different implications if it's a 'never giving up' type of message. Not that an ending theme affects the plot or anything, though.

I thought it was a close up of Sakura's face too, but catsi is right about it being about Sakura moving on from Sasuke to Naruto. The narusaku hints are symbolic here- the wind blows away her hat, the Whirlpool symbol lines slowly becoming more prominent in the sky, the water that eddies around her feet, and the windmills appearing across the water at the skyline. (whirlpool- Uzumaki, eddies- village hidden in the eddies- Kushina's village, wind and windmills- Naruto is a wind element user...)

Lyrics for youuu :)


The festival at the end of August was lively and overflowing with people
I put on a yukata and geta
Making clanking and clicking sounds
When the two of us looked up at the suddenly risen fireworks
I secretly stole a glance of your face watching them in a trance

Although it would be better if I'd come to hate you
On a day like today
I'd remember you again for sure

Not knowing these kinds of feelings would have been great
Although we will now never meet again
I want to, I want to see you
I still think of that summer day when you were with me

If we grew a little tired, we'd sit down on the roadside
Listening to the distant sound of the orchestra
The whistling sounds and strings reverberating
A brocade cap bloomed bigger and bigger in the night sky
Summer will end in a little while
It suddenly becomes painful

I launched my reversed heart
Laughing "ahaha" and
Saying "I love you"
We kissed

I'll forget all about you now
This is just too sad
Why must we have met?
If I close my eyes
It'll be like you're there even now

Sweet sighs
Tinged with a slight fever, I was in love with you
In that voice and in those eyes
If I notice, time is passing by
But I'll still search for a trace of you

I looked up at the fireworks all by myself
Making my heart prickle with pain
Very soon, the next season
Will arrive
I had watched the transient fireworks with you
I still think of that summer day when you were with me

^^ Thanks, I was curious about that.

But now that I read the lyrics, it seems more SasuSaku to me. I mean if she's talking about a guy she used to love, and still loves, the implications seem pretty obvious. But then again, I'm sure the song wasn't written for the sole purpose of being a Naruto ending, so it doesn't exactly mean anything. And like it's been said, the animation seems to imply NaruSaku more than anything.

[Living Lavish]

I didn't even realize it was Sakura and Sasuke's names written there until recently, when someone pointed out to me how their names are spelled in katakana. I mean it's just an ending, but how else can you interpret that?
On a side note, how many of the Shippuden endings have hinted at NaruSaku so far? I can think of five off the top of my head (I don't know the numbers): the one where they're kids, the one with a young Sakura looking at Naruto (I guess that one's debatable), the beach one, this one, and of course the one where she draws a picture of Naruto in the shower. I mean, what the heck was up with that one?

also the last one ''lovers'' in episode 206 where Sakura makes her decision to kill sasuke. heavily implied NS.

Really? You mean the current opening? I guess I took it at as an SS implication, what with Sakura crying with Sasuke in the background. The lyrics seemed to be an NS hint though, but I you can probably interpret these things a number of different ways.

[Master Sage]

I swear sometimes these ending just don't make any sense. If your going to give me some NS hints in style with music and a nice video with it at least make it a bit more clear like in Mayonaka No Midnight Orchestra or For You.
