HOLY COW!!! They have deleted almost 25 reviews!

I had it open from earlier today and there were about 260+ reviews with an average of 2.83!

I just refreshed it and it has 238 reviews with 2.97!

WHAT THE HECK!!! If it goes over a 3.0 average because they keep deleting reviews I'll be pissed!

Fix'd.

Perfect!

And does anyone know exactly when the next Kishimoto interview will be? I'm dying to know his response to all of this. I doubt SP will make a statement. Usually business hide or try and cover up their tracks (I'm expecting an explosion of Hinata, ugh). But I would love to hear their side of the story too. What excuse will they use?

And to be honest I kinda wanna see the movie (without giving them a dime) because it sounds like Sakura has some pretty amazing moments and I want to see them all. Plus I'm really hoping for people to make a ton of NS AMVs with the Last footage. That would just be awesome. hehe

Will it drop to 1?

It can't. It's mathematically impossible. Because the lowest you can rate it is one star and there are already higher ratings, which effects the average score. We could get really really close to a one star rating if all future scoring is one star but we'll never actually get to 1 star. 

Why isn't 0 stars an option, huh? Then we could get down to a 1 star average!

So obviously everyone here has been hit with a pretty severe blow.

BUT!!!

I love NaruSaku even more now. I have a new burning passion for these two people who understood each other more than anyone else. These two people that would do anything for one another. In my heart of hearts they will also be together continuing their support and love for one another.

And thus... I draw.

Just a sketch. No teaser yet because I have no idea where I am going with this. But hopefully I'll be able to work on it this week and have it up this weekend. I'm challenging myself.

P.S. I'm really thinking about adding some of my SaiSaku art too. My shipping heart has been set free and I've got love for everyone (well, everyone except NH and SS, but moving on...). So look out for that too.

 

But we want to send a stronger message. So we'll let their idealistic dream of a Hinata-centric utopia burn as severely as we can make it. 

Oh, don't get me wrong, I want the rating as close to a 1 star as we can get. But getting it below a 3.0 average was already a wonderful milestone. Of course the ranking is going to bob up and down but let's not get greedy too fast.

Our Japanese counterparts are already sending a pretty powerful message. This movie was not how the overall fandom of Naruto wanted the series to end.

And I can't help but smile at that beautiful 4.03 that Road to Ninja settled on. Overall, our babies got more love. And it's all because it was believable! Which is really funny because the whole thing was in a IT. Building bonds instead of breaking them will also have more fans!

Well guys sadly its at 2.92 now.

Don't be sad!

Getting it below a 3 was already victory enough for me. If it stays below a 3.0 I will be happy. Besides we also know that low reviews were being deleted and people know it!

Screenshots don't lie (Well, unless you are really good at photoshop, but I digress). And with the anger that has caused, deleting the highest regarded review, I don't think they will try something like that again. People, WORLD WIDE, are paying attention to this.

Anything below a 3.0 is victory for the 'IC Naruto' fans.

Just an update for everyone. :)

And for anyone who would like to follow the chaos on their own; http://movies.yahoo.... MOVIE-/349882/

It's down to 2.90! Yay! Not even going to bother hiding my excitement anymore! 

LET IT BURN!

Also! Did anyone else hear about Kishi making a third NH kid? So they could have one child with the "dead eyes" (my friends words not mine). Does anyone have sources for this?

So this is my number one guilty pleasure and perhaps, sometime, I will even share my fanart of when I was really into this couple. Yep, fan art, that's how cute I thought they were. I can't handle it, because they had such an interesting start and truly paid attention to one another. Sakura was the first one to try and make a connection with Sai (I know there was Yamato trying to get the team together, but I mean more on a personal level, like asking about his art). And Sai was watching Sakura and Naruto very closely. He tried to make bonds with them before anyone else. He was brutally honest with Sakura and tried to help her make the right decisions for herself and for her love interest Naruto.

And he was the replacement for Sasuke, so I really thought he would be the healthy alternative. And it turned out he was...for Ino. 

But since I am shipping non-cannon stuff anyway I'm going to let my shipping heart free and enjoy this one too! I mean, it's still better than sasusaku any day. 

Gah! I am so glad this exists! This is one of my favorite crack pairings with Sakura (the other being Saisaku). I mean you have a young lady that is just brimming with emotion and a lost soul who is trying to figure out what love is, it's just too perfect. She could teach him so much and I feel like he would give her the devotion she deserves, you know?

Expect some love from me to help liven up this thread, but until I find some fanart to share I'll be lurking in the saisaku thread (if there is one). 

Yay! 

The movie is now at 3.10 but there are some reviews in English now. I think some US fans might be infiltrating. But on the other hand I will be so happy if this rating goes lower than 3.0. And I know I should feel bad about wanting that but I can't help it. I want this ship (The Last) to sink! Mwhahahaha!

And have we seen the supposed poster of Naruto and Sakura? The one that was suppose to be super expensive.

EDIT: And now it reads 3.05!!!

But it keeps going back and forth for me. Hope to see a 2 soon. he he.  

Hello All! It's so great to meet you and have you stop by to check out what this project is all about. And I really hope it intrigues you as much as it did me.

At the Beginning: Like any beginning writer I took to the internet to keep my fingers busy. At first I tried my hand at things like fanfiction or short stories, but writer's block and OOC characters plagued me. I roleplayed, on sites like Gaia, for years, and unfortunately things always seemed to sizzle out. People just didn't seem to be invested in the story they were telling (especially if they weren't the star, but I digress). But even then I was still interested in the concept of community writing, of getting a group of people together to create something out of nothing.

And then I met Greed. After we talked more and more, Greed and I learned that we both enjoyed writing and that it was something we truly had stock in. I was a captive audience as he described a writing experience that I had been looking for for a long time.

And if the fundamental idea of writing a story together wasn't enough, his story and characters were enough to seal the deal. I had already fallen in love with the story when he invited me to critique and write for the world he had created, and I felt honored and an intricate part of the process.

My Baby: From that moment, Zachariah Cole was born. I knew from the beginning, much to Greed's surprise, that I wanted to play an interesting male character that would help the audience see Greed's world the way I did, something mystical, dangerous and exciting. Zachariah, or Zeek, is a character that I am excited to share with everyone and to write about. You can expect mischief, crass, a hint of reluctance, and a strange sense of morality. I can only hope that I achieve my goal of using him to provide information to the reader that will enrich their experience.

The Invite: Please join us. As a reader, a writer, a critic, a cheerleader. There really are a million ways to be involved in this project.

Talk to you all real soon!

         -Heratsbattle

I agree with this 100%

I'm not sure what help I could be, if any, but if you need any thing else, research, raws, a cheerleader, just let me know!

Go team NS!!! And go Chatte!  

Man, my heart still hurts. I had no idea I was this attached to Naruto and to NS.

And the movie? I keep going back and forth on whether or not I want to watch it. On the one hand, I don't think I could handle any NH moments right now. It's just salt in the wound.

BUT!!!

On the other hand, I am really curious as to how Kishi and Co. are going to justify this mess. And Everyone keeps talking about Naruto and Hinata - How is he going to have Naruto switch to her, blah, blah, blah. Yes, I am curious about that. But what I really want to know is... HOW THE HELL DOES SAUSUKE CONVINCE SAKURA TO BE WITH HIM?!?!? Please don't just let her fall week in the knees for him. I couldn't stand her character going through any more setbacks. Please, at least make it hard on him, make him earn it! (Not that I think he ever could) Sigh, my poor poor girl. You deserved so much more. My strong woman warrior, my role model, reduced to a school yard crushing housewife. It's just too sad. Please, please Kishi, don't hurt her character any more.

As almost every one else on this site, I am a huge fan of LadyGT's work. And when I read that she is thinking about doing an alternative ending my heart did a double back flip in my chest. I can only hope that she decides to go through it. 

LadyGT, if you're taking votes on the matter I vote... PLEASE! Oh gods! Please do an alternative ending! I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER AND A DAY!!! 

Of course, it's totally your decision and I respect whatever you decide to do with your time. But as a fan of Naruto and an avid fan of yours, I thought you might want to know I fully support any future art you do and any alternative ending you might want to do. 

LET'S kittening DO THIS!

I NOMINATE LUFFY TO BE OUR COMMANDING OFFICER ON OUR COUNTER-CHARGE OF OPTIMISM! WE DETECT bullsh** AS FAST AS SHARKS SENSE BLOOD IN THE WATER, AND RIGHT NOW, WE SMELL BLOOD!

I WILL DIE IN THE NAME OF FICTIONAL TRUE LOVE AND GLORY!

AYE, SIR!

I'm in. It ain't over until the last page!

YEAH!THIS IS THE SPIRIT!LET'S ALL WAIT FOR THE CHAPTER!IF THIS IS TRUE,NS IS SUNK,I WILL GO DOWN WITH MY SHIP!

I am with you!

Well guys, there's only one thing I want to say: I admire you all for your perseverance. This is a great fandom indeed....

....
Dammit, you guys really are like early naruto

Why, Thank you!

My Message To Kishi...

 

WHAT THE HECK DID NARUTO EVEN ACCOMPLISH!????

^ THIS

NS FOREVER!

 

 This has been hitting me hard. I couldn't even sleep last night

At least we are all on the emotional roller coaster together. I'm glad I'm on this rocky road with the best fandom ever!

This is all laughable tbh. Inosai is a real thing... Karui and Chouji wtf+?? It's like he kittenin' cherrypicked this pairings. XD Except Shikatema but what's up with the kid's eyes

 

So is it just me having angsty NS headcanons now? XD

I'm pretty sure he just drew names out of a hat...
