The irony in the long run of all this is...had NS become cannon...they would have made a LOT more sales in the long run.

That's 100% true, but the thing is that the world we live is filled with idiots that don't really think in the long run. A lot of business only do what they think will increase their profit in the next quarter. That's what they care about, if the next quarter is higher than the previous one. They are in it for a quick buck.

It's very rare when companies or even individuals think 5 years from now, or even longer.

Which I've told you - time and time again - is dangerous! There will never be consensus, son, among those you have helped to ascend. They will all differ in their views of what it means to be free. The peace you so desperately seek does not exist.
 
These men are united now by a common cause. But when this battle is finished they will fall to fighting amongst themselves about how best to ensure control. In time it will lead to war. You will see.

Okay, since this thread is getting a little on the negative side, I'm just going to drop a video I thought was absolutely hilarious in the hopes of making some people laugh as well. Seriously, though. Watch this video, and TRY not to laugh.

Hope everyone had a Happy Fourth, because I've got a story for you!

 

I went down to San Jose to visit a friend of mine just today, mostly just to hang out and talk. Somewhere along the line, Naruto came up. Now, keep in mind he knows about Naruto from me; he hasn't checked out the series for himself. I've kittened about the ending to him years before, but I don't think he really got all of it since it was mostly verbal. Anyway, he brought it up again, and I talked about it as much as I could, he seemed to be in agreement, mostly because he was curious about what I was doing with my fanfiction reboot. 

 

We go back to his house, and I muster up the courage to show him some youtube clips. I already told him ahead of time who wound up with who. First, I show him the scene where Sakura hugs Naruto after Pain (I tried to find the Promise of a Lifetime first, but most of it was AMVs). I asked him if the hug looked more like friendship or romantic. Though he was a bit torn at first, he ultimately agreed it looked more romantic (I also told him of when Sakura cried out for him after Pain flattened the village beforehand). 

 

Then I told him about Kushina's backstory, and showed him the scene where Minato compared Sakura to Kushina. Then I showed him the CPR scene afterwards. Then I showed him the "For You" ending. I told him about Jiraiya and Tsunade, and how they paralled NaruSaku. Then I showed him the scene where Sakura tried to snap Naruto out of the four-tails state.

 

After that, I focused more on Sakura. I showed him the time she smashed the training grounds, and when she activated her seal. When I told him the fandom called her useless, he just gave me a puzzled look and asked "WHY!?"

 

I then showed him the scene where Sasuke stabs her in the genjutsu, emphasizing the manga was more graphic because you couldn't tell it was an illusion. Still, seeing that, he was disappointed in what he saw, and he shouted "WHAT!?" when I told him after they married, Sasuke wasn't there to see his wife OR his daughter.

 

And of course, I had to follow through with showing him what happened when Sarada met Sasuke. He just muttered "WTF is wrong with this guy!?"

 

Because youtube was on autoplay, we went to a video showing the scene where HImiwari took out Naruto, and that's how he got introduced to Hinata. In terms of appearance, he was underwhelmed. I brought up how the fandom has made her out to be this sex symbol, and he just looked perplexed.

 

So, because I thought I should be fair, I decided to show him Hinata's confession, also explaining how most of what actually happened was non-canon. He STILL wasn't moved by Hinata, nor did he think she was particularly attractive. 

 

At this point I was going to decide to take the plunge and find Neji's death, but he could tell I was practically going Super Sayajin, so he just said I could tell him about it. So I did, best I could, emphasizing that this was the moment Kishi claimed sealed NaruHina as canon, and this happened BEFORE the Kushina comparison and CPR.

 

Finally, I asked him based on all this, who Naruto should have hooked up with, and he affirmatively said "SAKURA! SHE'S THE PERFECT BLEND OF SEX APPEAL, FEMINISM, AND FUN!" I joked and said "Well, maybe you should see that NaruHina scene for yourself, and make your own judgement." His response: "NO! ONE SCENE ALONE CAN NEVER BE POWERFUL ENOUGH TO OVERTURN ALL THAT!"

 

Afterwards, he encouraged me to do my reboot better.

 

I also plan just for fun to send him pictures of other anime girls to compare them to Hinata in terms of sex appeal. I think I'll start with the Fairy Tail girls first... :hehehe:

Claw. The thing is even among anime girls with that look -the hime cut the moe girls always seem to wear- she not that attractive. She is at best plain to above average even with SP enhancements they give her in the anime, and at worst she is creepy looking to terrifying. Mainly it due to those pupil-less eyes as well as her eye color make her seem lifeless.

 

The things that her fans are attracted to that they fetishize about her are; her shyness/meek personality, her big breast, and her absolute devotion to her man.

 

It might have been interesting if you had shown him the last, and tell us his take of it.

Isn't it funny that there were so many Naruto/Sakura/Sasuke parallels in the story and the Naruto never won. The bench scene implied that Tsunade did have feelings for Jiraya in the end, but then he goes off and dies. Same with Obito and Rin, I just find that whole scene weird that she would be there to meet him in the after life and claim she was waiting for him. It wouldn't have been surprising that after his first "death" that she realized her feelings for him. I get Obito did horrific things, but I found him to be a tragic and interesting character compared to bland as hell Sasuke. Still my point is, Kishimoto created all these parallel groups of the main 3 only for the main 3 to just repeat the tragedy.

Meanwhile, we poke holes in the NH pairing and why it is horrible waste of development and space all the while SS is sitting here with even less to it's name. Any and all "romantic" moments are purely fan-fantasies and not something put in the manga or the story itself. You look at the SS fanart and it is all this loving, cuddling, superficial cliche romance traits you see in other manga or anime, but watch the real thing and there is NOTHING even close to this.

This is worse reality. NH has forced moments and showhorned development in there, but it is development. SS has NOTHING. Absolutly NOTHING beyond fanart depicting them as being loving to each other. I have seen crack pairings with more development and scenes to there names. I am not going to show you what I mean, but I think most of of you can attest to this.

SasuSaku fanart decription:
"Sasuke is embracing Sakura saying "I love you most dearly" with Sakura crying her eyes out and hugging him back. Another scene is depicting of them sharing the most passionate kiss ever to be seen in cinema"

SasuSaku in real life manga:
"Sasuke walks up to Sakura and says "What are you doing here?" Sakura faints and Sasuke disappears again."

So, like....how? How delusional can you truly be?

I still will never understand when pro-enders say that we, the NS fanbase, should accept the canon for what it is, but then they turn around and make this dribble that is not even existent in the canon as well. They themselves cannot even accept the canon as it is. They can't even accept that Salad is not Sakura's daughter for crying out loud.

I said it once somewhere else, James; the hypocrisy is strong with these "fans". They just wanna try to make us give up because they know we still believe in a pair that had something theirs don't, and that's honest, real development that allowed Naruto and Sakura to be one of those couples that should have happened, but just got dismissed because others kept saying "No, it won't sell, no it won't do well" yadda yadda yadda... XP It's still the biggest steaming pile of CRAP ever.

Considering all the marketing was about them, I doubt anyone thought they wouldn't sell. This is the Hinata fanatics within SP that caused this.

It might have been interesting if you had shown him the last, and tell us his take of it.

Dude, it was midnight by that point. I had only JUST mustered up the guts to finally watch Road to Ninja recently, and I didn't want to torture myself without strong alcohol. Maybe if we hang out again we'll watch it. I'd think of taking shots, but I fear if I get to the parting scene, I'll down them all and die. 

 

Of all the ways I could go, I will DAMN make sure NaruHina won't be it.

 

So is Boruto selling bad ?

The movie did quite well. After that...

 

First, the Boruto manga has been dropping in sales. It could be several factors, but when you consider the last volume of Naruto sold 800k in it's first week (which while good overall, was considered a disappointment in terms of hype) and a volume of Boruto having recently selling about 150k...that's a rather steep decline.

 

The anime I guess is doing well enough...it's in it's 60 something episode, so I guess it's doing something right. But it's not the heavy hitter Naruto once was. I think SP tried to gradually replace it with Black Clover, but apparently they messed up that adaptation as well so it didn't work out.

 

What's especially noticeable is the lack of Boruto merchandise, at least as far as what's been brought to my attention on this site. They might be there, but it seems they haven't made any waves. Even in video games, Boruto and Sarada have to put into Naruto's franchise, which means they don't sell well enough on their own. 

 

I kind of feel like the Boruto series in Japan is kind of like the Simpsons and Family Guy in America. It's there, they seem to be making enough money to produce more...but I'm not sensing a real hype train from any of it.

You gotta think though, while many adults/teens watch it, Boruto is still a kids show. So many kids watching and buying the merchandise aren't critical of it as the other demographics. Though those manga sales are a joke considering how much of a heavy hitter Naruto was.

I was watching youtube like always when i saw video "Top 10 Anime Where Bad Boy Fall In Love With Girl". At first glance i was like ... meh nothing special , but my brain suddenly like get zap and i was like "Oh let's see if that abomination a.k.a sasuke and sakura was in this video" ..... and it was not in the video , i was like "Thank kitten for that". But i decide to look at the comment section to see if there is a monster would comment demand that SS should be in this video (Sorry whoever support SS is a monster in my eyes). And there is .... now the video is new and there's 1 comment that say "Where is sakura and sasuke?" with 1 like from the uploader and the comment was posted 55 minutes ago , i bet the upvoted and SS supporter will keep coming there.

 

I always facepalm whenever i saw a human being support SS relationship. NH i can slightly understand , but SS ??? :confused:

The only time I would understand the appeal of SS is from the Chunin Exams arc to Sasuke’s departure from the Leaf. Post-Departure, I honestly can’t understand it at least in terms of Sasuke-> Sakura. They was literally no evidence. Well, there were interactions, but they were all negative.

Some argue that the times Sasuke tried to kill Sakura were either in self-defense and/or because he was mentally unstable, but what about the war arc where he lets her almost drop in lava without sparing a second glance? He was sane of mind, and they were on the same side. Where’s the excuse for no concern?

The only thing keeping NH down is their lack of interaction and Naruto’s romantic feelings for Sakura. If I had to pick the lesser of two evils, I think the answer is obvious.

I count 5 times he tried to murder her :

1. When they meet again at early shippuden in orochimaru hideout. He tried to use that jutsu he use against his battle with itachi to incinerate all of team 7.

2. When they meet again just after sasuke killed danzou he order her to kill karin to prove her loyalty and commitment but it was a cheap lies he try to stab her with chidori from behind.

3.Same place Sakura thought she could stab him with poison Kunai from behind him at the moment he lost consciousness from overusing MS , but she can't. Sasuke turn back , strangle her neck , take her kunai and going to stab her.

4.During war arc fight with madara , Sakura charge at Madara and Sasuke tried to slice Madara along with her. Just like when Hidan fight close combat with Kakashi to keep him distracted and then Kakuzu burn both of them.

5.As you already said he drop her into a lava.

And i like to include the genjutsu chidori stab too , just before Naruto vs Sasuke last fight. Since in my opinion that is the same intent to kill , i think he will do it for real and the reason hes not is because he know Naruto will protect her. And despite being married he refuse to get job and provide / feed his family ..... that's also in my opinion killing her but in slow process.

 

That's six murder attempt there .... seriously whoever support this abomination relationship is sick .... sick in the head , it's the same as cannibalism i dare to say , zero humanity.

That genjutsu stab should have been the final straw for her feelings for him. He stabbed her in the heart. While not long before she was holding Naruto's heart in her hands. I bet there were many ways to genjutsu her out of the way and he chose that one.

Don't forget that he once utilized a tactic that involved using her as a decoy/meatshield to distract Madara while he stabbed through her from behind to impale Madara (imagine the scene from RK where Shishio stabbed through Yumi to impale Kenshin). Luckily, Naruto prevented him from following through with the latter part of his attack.

 

EDIT: Damn, Yyubie beat me to it.

The only time I would understand the appeal of SS is from the Chunin Exams arc to Sasuke’s departure from the Leaf. Post-Departure, I honestly can’t understand it at least in terms of Sasuke-> Sakura. They was literally no evidence. Well, there were interactions, but they were all negative.

Some argue that the times Sasuke tried to kill Sakura were either in self-defense and/or because he was mentally unstable, but what about the war arc where he lets her almost drop in lava without sparing a second glance? He was sane of mind, and they were on the same side. Where’s the excuse for no concern?

The only thing keeping NH down is their lack of interaction and Naruto’s romantic feelings for Sakura. If I had to pick the lesser of two evils, I think the answer is obvious.

 

the thing that is keeping BOTH NH and SS down is that both women were crushing on the idea of the guys and have shown time and time again that neither of them don't understand or know the target of their affections as a person and have no real emotional intimacy or openness with each other. Sure SS seems to come off as worse, but that is due to Sasuke being being a sociopathic douche rather than the relationship as a whole. In core concept, both both are equally disgusting and dysfunctional fantasy knockoffs of fairy tale romances, that is INSULTING to real life human Interactions.

 

We all know this. For a relationship to come full circle, BOTH parties must be invested and committed to it, and it can't be just the the girls showing affection, the tenderness and love must be returned and I do not see that even after they married. Not to mention, NEITHER MEN put anything on the table for the relationship AT ALL. After they "knock up" the wives to get pregnant, I see no significant interaction between neither with spouse or offspring, and no it can not be said that it reflects Japanese values because THAT NEVER HAPPENED to any other on screen couple at all!!!!!! Any one want to tell me with a straight face that you see Japanese family values with Minato and Kushina or Asuma and Kurenai? Asuma and Kurenai were not even married when they were "cuddling under the sheets!!"

 

Point is NH and SS are worthless, loveless marriages built on fantasy and wish fulfillment, rather than the couple committing and bonding with each other. You don't even need to be a professional sociologist or psychologist to understand that. You see how radically negative NH and SS are compared to other couples portrayed in the series.

Not to mention many are Sasuke fanboys I keep on getting them on my stories like this one who well I think we can all see they think Sasuke is one of the best characters. This is what they had to say.

 

"All these Sasuke haters. just keep your hate to yourselves. I hate it when everyone is a Naruto/Konoha wanker. Konoha supports slavery and massacres; Sasuke had every right to leave the village, and Naruto kept chasing on him it's his fault if Sasuke hurts him. Forcing something on someone is not acceptable, Naruto and Sakura did a 'good' job with that. Sasuke is traumatised, he experienced love in the form of his family and especially his beloved brother who he trusted the most and was betrayed by him. Naruto was always alone; his childhood is not nearly as sad as Sasuke's. And no, he's not an 'emo' kid for acting as he does. If you claim this, then you didn't get his character. And oh, if you think Sasuke's goal to have his revenge was foolish like Kakashi did, then why was Naruto and Shikamaru right when they got their revenge for their senseis? Kakashi is a real hypocrite when he tells Sasuke to give up but helps Shikamaru to get his revenge on Hidan."

 

I just seem to keep getting guest reviews that are bugging me that Sasuke gets needless hate and that he has done nothing wrong

But that's the thing about it; some of it is found like the fact of Kakashi being a hypocrite when it came to revenge with Sasuke over Shikamaru, but some of it is more wrong. Sasuke still CHOSE his path for himself because of his ego, his jealousy towards Itachi and Naruto, as well as his hate, so he does deserve a good bit of hate he gets when he brought it on himself.

 

I'm sorry you gotta deal with this bull from people like that. And that reviewer also forgets; Naruto didn't KILL Nagato, even if he wanted to, since he saw that killing him would only cause more hate and he didn't want to pile it on after learning of Nagato's past as well as thinking on his words and his dad's words to him.
