Now everything makes sense..

 

"With Sakura who has increased her beauty, surely Naruto will have do his best to make Hinata more beautiful than his girl-friend of team 7."

 

"With Sakura who has increased her beauty, surely Naruto will tell this thing to her husband Sasuke ."

Watch, there's going to be fans in some circles arguing that it's just wordplay. They'll misconstrue it to sound like Pierrot is teasing at an expected reaction from Naruto, just to amp up the tension, so the twist of him going in an unexpected direction by considering Hinata will be that much greater.

She took Rock Lee spotlight since shippuden. NO awesome lee fight since part 2, it's depressing when you think about it.

 

Now that you mention it.. Gosh. I actually miss Lee. D:

This is why i said u should stop saying predictions.....now watch and see this prediction of yours coming true.

[Otaru]

I find all this teasing forced and unnecessary. Why are they doing this? The manga is not over yet so why do we have to go through all this tease?

 

I agree with you it's very filthy IMO.

Still, I think the same. 

To me NaruSaku will be the end. 

 

This image is, IMO, a capture from the movie. 

 

I think, by looking at their faces, that Hinata and Naruto are on their way to have a serious talk. Naruto seem to be very serious here. It's like he's thinking very hard while walking. And Hinata looks like following only. 
I think Naruto wants to tell her that he can't accept her love because his heart is already dedicated to Sakura. 

Only my opinion. 

[TheQueenB]

Furthermore, am I the only one who thinks that Hinata's eyes are shut, as if to control emotion? Of course, my eyesight isn't that great, so I may be confusing her regularly opened eyes with having been shut, especially due to the angle in the picture.

[Otaru]

Also, to me, this picture prove the contrary of NaruHina to be honest. 
They don't want us to guess the end. 
They want us to be surprised in the end.

Guys, what is this?

I think the editors pressurised Kishi into doing it because she is popular.Looking back at the manga it is quite clear NS was what Kishi had in mind but had to switch because of larger fandom demand

If tKishi really gave in to the editors pressions,then 631 and the IT dream wouldn't exist. And sasuke wouldn't have stabbed Sakura and rejected her...

 

Look there has been no shift in favor of NH all through the manga. The 2 significant NH moments were all trolled soon after by biggest NS one...

 

It's not even me being biased as I was originaly a NHer but Kishi never showed me anything showing Naruto starting to considere Hinata in a romantic way, it has always been Sasuke and then Sakura... And he didn't even care about gaving us 2 panels of them casually bonding.

Naruto's criminal obliviousness toward Hinata, could have been avoided or even toned down even if Kishi still wanted to give us a NS end.

The manga is very straightfroward. NS is the only pair with a decent bit of mutual feelings. NH is no different than LeeSaku basically, just with fanwank as an extra. And Sakura actually went to visit Lee in the hospital, something Naruto would never think of...Because he isn't thoughful, unlike the pink girl.

You know the funny thing, for all the fuss this song cover made, that type of scene for all we know could not even occur in the movie, but for any purpose, it's just a cover and doesn't answer anything for the plot, I mean the ns stuff if not done, that huge collection of stuff is still there and it's kinda upsetting how some ns fans frequently forget this, I mean by the manga development, ns has the lions share and this late it's still unresolved and unanswered, there still isn't any notion of naruto turning away for sakura and Sakura's feelings for naruto are not fully answered. And well it just is a real waste if after so much focus this stuff doesn't get answered or resolved in favor of something else so simplistic for the most minimal or lackluster reasons. I mean I expect naruto to solve everything, not solve everything minus get with the girl he initially had feelings for, so naruto succeeds in all things but fails in romance like jiraya, obito and doesn't end up with a girl like Kushina as she hoped? Yeah until something either comes in the end of the manga, ns is still the most likely in my book, for the movie stuff too, this stuff has not yet changed. I mean. Come on, sakura herself looks like a successor to Kushina, that's how similar they kept making this stuff. Nh just doesn't fulfill what I would see as well, complete for the series, I mean at least ns is still the most reasonable and build able pairing to make romance, no excuses or shortcuts needed, all the material is there, it's really kinda shocking to think Kishi wouldn't build it after all the focus and attention and instead just do nh which is well, just too simple and just always right there cause hinata loves him, really at this point, you cannot get nh as a reasonable ending to the series without an asspull, timeskip excuse, or making hinata a fodder pairing character, and nh is a fodder pairing because it's just at this point, if intended to go canon, had been a simple possibly for the whole time ns at least had dynamics and times when it was not even considered but it emerged as something to see and it had plenty of back and forth on how naruto and sakura felt about each other, but nh no, it's always been hinata hinata hinata. It's not as bad as SS but it's still riddled with issues and nothing more than an easy way out. It's a fodder pairing and nothing more

This person is overly positive man... Can someone please give me a brief summary of what the poster says?

[Otaru]

Sane member in the house....

Not to forget how hapless NH fans are. They'd instantly buy the movie CD or tickets because they want to see NH or NH become canon. I smell smart marketing tactics....

 

Oh god thank you someone has a brain. 

 

Also guys stop saying the movie is about love. Love will be included but the movie is about a big problem with the moon... the love theme will be an underground theme.

I would believe that if Kishi didnt insist in NaruSasu or Obito being Tobi when so much in the fandoms were against such concepts and honestly I don't think pairing fandoms are that important to begin with, most people just don't care about pairings.
Also I still don't think NH is canon or that Hinata will be a central part of the plot until I see it, most of what we got are teasing and marketing nothing concrete, I'm keeping an open mind but it seems to me they are pushing NH too hard, way too hard which is suspicious. Only time will tell.

 

Remember SP hyped nh/ss the same way on the poster and trailer for RTN and it had zip all to do with the actually plotline. Naruto ran away from scary crazy deluded stalker Hinata- with Sakura, and Sasuke turned out to be a jerkish playboy user that Sakura rejected. RTN was all about narusaku's growth and about Naruto and Sakura's emotional bond with their parents.

 

That's probably the only scene in the whole movie where Naruto says anything to Hinata, and it's pretty obvious it isn't anything positive. And looks like Kishimoto didn't even bother to do a costume design sketch for Hinata, and just let SP come up with something. Looks like they reused Tsunade's tunic (without the jacket) along with Sakura's belt and shorts design for The Last

I know I'm supposed to be positive but that cover pissed me off


the biggest reason is Hinata's outfit.....
I thought she is conservative

since, the poster is released, I'am pissed off

please somebody .....help me to bring the festive mood Back again


Today was supposed to be greatest day of this year for me

[narusakuno1]

My heart skipped a beat when I saw this CD cover. Then I actually saw how depressed both characters looked (Naruto especially) and became joyful.
After all I totally expected more NH advertising since they apparently want to do romantic drama in this movie and NH needs a lot of marketing effort to make it seem (!) on par with NS (with all it's development and forshadowing). I've also also been sure for several weeks now that Hinata would get her closure finally. Just like that I expected to see more NH themed advertising and was actually overjoyed to see how NOT-misleading it was - if you ask me, this scene perfectly depicts the place NH was, is and will be till the end. The place, where Hinata's love is one-sided and melancholic.

 

Naruto's face and posture reminds me of my own when I had to reject one person several years ago. It was one of the most uncomfortable experiences of my life. I think I've never before and after wanted to cease to exist like I did at that moment. I wanted to disappear, hide inside myself, escape from this situation in any way possible. But I knew I had to answer, so I just led the person to a park just like Naruto seems to be doing with Hinata here. I was a ball of nerves then, my back and shoulders were tense and I was afraid to show any emotion on my face, so it was like a dead mask.

This is what I see in Naruto. His face expression is so stiff and laid-back. He seems very defensive and tense. He is also hiding his hands in his pockets which shows that he runs from possible contact. That is just body language. 

(The person whom I've rejected is actually my fiance now, but I hope this doesn't ruin my point )

 

I've just finished rereading Part 2 of the manga today and I was astonished by the ammount of unfounded faith NH fans have in their pairing. This was the first time I reread Naruto manga since I've started it about 10 years ago. And I did have a feeling up till now that NH had way more development. Since NS had less focus since the start of the war arc it felt kind of on the losing side for some time with all this speculation about Naruto not being in love with Sakura any more and etc. Even though I never believed it. But if you read Part 2 fast, somewhat close to the actual manga timeline, NS ever-presence is so apparent that it just kills all competition. I just felt that Kishimoto decided to give a couple of bones to NH for popularity sake, but constanty mocked it in the shadows. Hinata has always been portrayed ambiguously - her actions, thoughts and romantic moments were all strange, contradicting the wishes of Naruto or necessities of the battle moment. Each panel of Hinata "feeling" had a panel of Sakura "acting". Sakura was shown handling the buisness, making important decisions and ensuring the operation is running, even handling some Hokage's duties. Did confession of Hinata make any positive impact on the fight? No, it almost ruined the operation, killing Naruto's conscience, giving him in the hands of Pain and putting the villagers in danger of being destructed by Naruto himself. Even after her confession there were a couple of scenes where different characters confirmed that it was a bad idea to jump in to help Naruto. And this is still considered one of the highest points of NH, not of NS, which is ridiculous.
Yes, Sakura was not thinking only about Naruto, repeating his name and staring in the fog or the sky, but she was shown as a much bigger help for him, who wishes to protect the village. And when it mattered, she always got her moment to prove that the development is still there.

 

Adressing those people (@ Shadow1275), who said that Sakura's fake confession scene didn't contain any hints of Naruto's feelings, here is one BIG panel that confirms that Sakura is Naruto's dream of love itself.

This is the panel right after she said that she loves him and chooses him over Sasuke. This is his first genuine reaction to her words before he started thinking that something is wrong. This is the face of pure happiness. The face of a person, who witnesses that his dream is coming true, though not yet believes in his luck completely. This is the face of a loving man, who dreamt to hear those words one day. I have no doubt, judging from this panel, that he would have accepted her feelings immediately if he accepted them as the truth. This panel shows that he wanted to believe her, but he couldn't put his happiness above the truth and Sakura's feelings.  And just see how painful it was for him to let go of that moment:
