Such great chemistry. I'll always have a soft spot for NS. It's sad to think about what could have been had Kishi not been a total sell-out.

Oh I wish I had the time to give this chapter the proper amount of bashing it deserves! It's still so unbelievably awful.

 

I just keep thinking...NS had to die for this crap?!?  :pinch:

 

I suggest you simply remember NS for what it was before Kishi screwed it all to hell in the final few chapters and regulate everything that came afterwards as "expanded universe", "fan fiction" or "alternate reality". There are so many other great manga out there that can help you move on from Kishi's nightmare.  :happy:

Wow you sound like a defeated NaruSaku fan who lost his hope, well that's why i'm on these forums, if you as NaruSaku fans faith that NaruSaku can happen has expired then allow me to renew it! :)


I fail to see how Naruto was perversely twisted into something he never was for the sake of fabricating a flimsy excuse for why Boruto is a petulant brat, I'll give you my assessment, throughout the 700 chapters of the entirety of the Naruto series Naruto and his Ideals and aspirations in life haven't changed, he as always aspired and longed to become the Hokage even as a young boy, he accomplished that goal by carving a path of the trials and tribulations that stood on his path of life he walked on, However as a Hokage you are a single man governing an entire village of dense population and that is what Naruto was trying to ingrain into Boruto's mine "I have to be a father to everyone in the village" despite that all Boruto could think about was himself, Boruto is written and portrayed as a selfish character who only thinks of and for himself and what ever he can gain, that's the reason why he had no qualms about cheating with the Ninja tool

 

etc etc etc

 

 

You could have stopped at "I fail to see" and saved yourself a hell of a lot of writing. 

 

Again, please enjoy the manga as you see fit. Buy the books and watch the movies. Kishi wishes he could clone a million more like you. But if you really believe Sasuke and Hinata, Naruto and Sakura or whichever your favorite pairing is will get together, you're going to be disappointed just as you were at the end of the original manga.

ok this is becoming irritating How would SasukeXHinata and NarutoXSakura be a disaster ? it can never be explained at this current time of how it can become a disaster because these pairings never had a chance to come to fruition so therefore fans never had a chance to react to it.

 

If Naruto/Hinata and Sasuke/Sakura marriages divorce It wouldn't be a tragedy, It will also show the fans of NaruSaku and SasuHina that both Masashi Kishimoto and Studion Pierrot came to the realization of their mistake of even pairing Naruto/Hinata and Sasuke/Sakura as married couples which will tell us that they are looking to redeem themselves :) and that will show that they actually care how we feel about the manga making us feel wanted :) the fact that are catering to our wants or even hinting it means that we are of significant importance :) even if bringing NaruSaku and SasuHina fans back as a result of divorce doesn't return ALL NaruSaku/SasuHina fans it will bring back some, which means this is a Win Win situation for both NaruSaku/SasuHina fans and Kishimoto, We will get the pairing that we always wanted and Kishimoto will get yet another influx of fans and returning fans to read and buy his new manga which means more profit for him :)
 
 
So I fail to see a negative outcome with a divorce route with the new Boruto manga because the way I see it it will have more fans then Naruto currently does since there are only currently NaruHina/SasuSaku fans since most of the NaruSaku/SasuHina fans left honestly so at the moment mostly NaruHina/SasuSaku fans will be reading the Boruto manga so to expand on the fanbase Kishimoto and Studio Pierrot will have open new and old fanbases to squeeze as much profit as they can out of the new Boruto manga, No NaruHina and SasuSaku fans will not stop reading the Boruto manga when they see that Sasuke/Hinata and Naruto/Sakura are being shipped because it will actually keep them at the edges of their seats so because of that they will be constantly reading the new Boruto manga to see if their Beloved pairing will be broken apart and NaruSaku and SasuHina will also be at the edges of their seats constantly reading the manga seeing if their pairing finally comes true :) thats 4 fanbases added to read the Boruto manga instead of just the current 2 fanbases NaruHina/SasuSaku :) So because of this Kishimoto and Studio Pierrot will gain fans in addition to ones that they lost so I don't see an impending doom for the Boruto manga at the moment, And there are already hints that the divorce is set into motion from all the evidence from movie scenes/manga panels/Interviews i've provided :)
 
 
So what if Kishimoto and Studio Pierrot is baiting NaruSaku and SasuHina fans to read the new Boruto manga, You don't hear anything about them baiting KibaHina, NejiTenTen, and LeeSaku fans, So that means that we NaruSaku/SasuHina fans are of more importance and value to them so feel special! they are considering the concerns of our Pairing fanbase over the others!!


So what if the old NaruSaku fans left or moved on from the series, Naruto series has been on going and lasting for years, New people have been born into the world, A new age of Naruto fans has been brought into this world to see the most recent Part of the Naruto series (Boruto Naruto Next Generations) if the old NaruSaku fans left the Naruto series then a new wave of them can come to watch NarutoXSakura develop romance and thus a new age of NaruSaku fans have been born.


So therefore not only will the Boruto series bring more and new age NaruSaku fans to read the new Boruto manga it will also have some old NaruSaku fans return to the Naruto series to see if their favorite Pairing will finally come true in the manga series (Boruto Naruto Next Generations) which means profit from the new age of NaruSaku fans and from the old era of NaruSaku fans, so how will this be a disaster ?


NaruSaku fans get what they desire, NaruSaku happening, Kishimoto and Studio pierrot getting what they want, Profit from a large fan base, it's win win situation for both sides


If you guys are true NaruSaku fans why are you against it happening ? "I wouldn't want NaruSaku happening from a divorce" why shouldn't it happen from a divorce ? Naruto will realize he married the wrong women and will move on from her, Sasuke will realize he married the wrong woman and will move on from her, isn't that what you NaruSaku fans desired ? for Naruto to toss Hinata to the side for Sakura ? thats what a divorce basically is tossing your Wife/Husband to the side in favor of a new partner, so you don't want Naruto to Divorce Hinata but your not ok with their marriage ? that makes 0 sense only NaruHina fans are content with Naruto and Hinata's marriage and I know you guys are NOT NaruHina fans


I'll say this once more:

Sasuke and Hinata as a couple has never been considered for plot for the anime and manga by both Studio Pierrot or Kishimoto so they have no way of knowing if they can Market the couple and make money off of it if they haven't presented it for the world to see, however with the direct similarities both Sasuke and Hinata share such as life experiences, liking the same foods, and similar combat abilities that shows that this Pairing is rich with potential, I highly doubt sharing similarities in life experiences to be basic, that is deeply emotional in both Sasuke and Hinata's cases and they would have a deep understanding and sympathy for both each other because they both know how it feels for what they both experienced :) 
 
 
Which is why someone should present the Idea of Sasuke and Hinata as a couple to both Kishimoto and Studio pierrot so that they can experiment with it, Such as not giving them a canon manga panel moment but first dedicating a special filler episode that features both Sasuke and Hinata together doesn't matter if they are working together or eating together just give them a moment together to see how fans will react and how they will like it so that Kishimoto and Studio Pierrot can see if the Idea of them being a couple or at least deep friends is canon worthy :)


You NaruSaku fans of NaruSaku forums may have lost your faith in Naruto and Sakura becoming a couple, But I am providing new hope! :) New journeys and Horizons await you in the new Boruto manga as I've shown :)

 

If you have read the original manga from beginning to end and cannot see how the character of Naruto has been perversely twisted into something he never was simply for the sake of fabricating a flimsy excuse for why Bolt is a petulant brat, then there is no point in trying to debate the issue. For me, NS was special because of who the characters were. Naruto and Sakura, both great characters who complimented each other so well, are shells of their former selves, so slapping them together for the sake of saying NS happened would be hollow and wildly unsatisfying. 

 

Through the slow-motion train wreck that was Gaiden to the full blown soap opera that is Boruto, Naruto is portrayed as an absentee father who would rather assign a clone to be with his family during his daughter’s birthday party than have the same clone filing paperwork and checking emails at the office, and for no compelling reason. Compare this behavior to his behavior and ideals from the original manga. They’re polar opposites. And for Naruto, the guy who grew up as an outcast without a family, to decide to divorce his wife and abandon his responsibilities because he “made a mistake”? Again,100% the opposite of Naruto’s original character.

 

Having Kishi admit he made a mistake when he paired NH and SS is unlikely. Not too long ago JK Rowling made a comment that she regretted pairing Hermione with Ron, and wished she would have paired her with Harry instead. Harry Potter fans lost their minds over it, and it was simply a comment and not a rewriting of the story. NH and SS fans would jeer at the pandering to NS fans. Long time NS fans would see it as Kishi trying to put a bandaid on a botched story. So who’s happy in the end?

 

I’m guessing there are NH and SS fans who are disappointed with the low quality of what their pairings became, and they may not care if the families broke up. But the majority probably don’t care how ridiculous the pairings are because to them it’s more important that they simply happened. Quality of story and character are not high priorities for them. If their pairings were broken up they wouldn’t be on the edge of their seats, they’d be furious and frothing at the mouth.

 

Trolling pairings is what Kishi excelled at for years in the original manga. On Naruto Forums the NS vs SS debates were venomous. But it kept people reading, and now the new author and artist may likely attempt the same strategy. The difference is that in the original manga the pairings were unmarried young people with no ties or baggage. That doesn’t hold true anymore.

 

Which leads me to the children in both families, which you completely neglected in your post. You fail to see the negative outcome to a divorce scenario because you are not looking at the complete picture. You argued that divorce is tossing aside one spouse in favor of another. Does Naruto toss aside his children as well, for the sake of a pairing? Bolt’s fascination with and admiration of Sasuke isn’t meant to imply he should be his son; it’s about building drama and tension between him and his father while maybe offering some redemption for Sasuke for all the things he’s done in the past. Bolt can’t even deal with his dad neglecting him in favor of his duties as Hokage. Having Naruto divorce Hinata, marry Sakura and raise Salad, Bolt’s own team mate, as his daughter would be outrageous. And where does Himawari fit into all this? Is she, and all the kids, supposed to be happy by this turn of events? Salad already endured trauma during the silly "who is my real mother" arc when she thought Karin could be her biological mother (more trolling). Now the father she just reconnected with is going to dump her mother and hook up with Hinata? Even if all the adults agreed that divorce was a viable option, it doesn’t work very well when there are so many kids involved. 

 

At least not realistically. As we learned from Kishi, there is always Asspull no Jutsu.

 

I’m not trying to dissuade anyone from reading the manga and enjoying it as they see fit. Please feel free to do so. But I have no enthusiasm for a second-hand, highly manipulated version of a pairing that I love so much.

Because of this speculation that has strong hints and evidence to support it's legitimacy, THERE IS A HIGH CHANCE THAT NARUSAKU AND SASUHINA WILL HAPPEN IN THE BORUTO MANGA!!!


I'm hyped up for it  :yes:  

 

Are there really people out there setting themselves up for disappointment again? (I will admit that the picture of Naruto and Sakura at the bottom of your post is nostalgic, but only because they're exhibiting their personalities from the original manga.)

 

I don't know how much control the new writer/artist have over the Boruto manga, but I'd be shocked if Kishi would allow both Naruto and Sakura to end their marriages. It would be bad enough if there were no kids involved, but there are three. Arguing that Bolt should be with Hinata and Sasuke while Salad should be with Naruto and Sakura is bizarre enough, but there's still Himawari to account for. And if you think Bolt is an emotional wreck now, imagine if his paternal father completely abandoned him and his mother in order to marry an old flame and raise her child as his own? Can you say, "resentment to the point of murder?"

 

Having the families split would be a disaster at this point, and I can't imagine Kishi being willing to sacrifice the larger audiences of NH/SS for the smaller audience of NS. Not to mention that Naruto and Sakura aren't even remotely the same people they were in the original manga. Things being as they are, I can't say that I'd want to see NS happen now. Kishi had his opportunity in the original manga. He blew it, badly. Time to move on.
