interesting the description says naruto's been in love with her since the academy. This must come as a shock to certain fans that are in denial

It is not like they are going to read it, and if they do; they will just complain on twitter. If they don't just assume its a mistranslation.

 

Most Japanese fans have either gone, "well Kishimoto must have planned it but it doesn't mean its worth a watch," or, "it was a decision made to appeal to the gaijins' market so this isn't even made for us." So it isn't that big a deal for them to go, "yeah Sakura was the love interest and heroine till the ending happened." Though to be honest, even in the State your not going to fine many who care, because Naruto hasn't been that big in over a decade and most haven't watched Boruto. It the ones that do care and will have a hissy fit that have to be appeased.

 

As for anything related to Naruto's family life after the ending compared to Kishimoto. NS was likely to be happy, since it would be based on the hope he could finally spend time with his family. nH is based on the reality his wife is upset he sold out and the selling out back fired so he has to work on fixing what his selling out has caused. SS is what it is because Sasuke on some level symbolizes his brother and he doesn't like the idea of his twin brother sleeping with his wife; so he wants it loveless with Sasuke as far away from Sakura as possible.

I was watching videos of Minato and Kushina on TikTok, and I always see someone saying they are the best couple in the series and that their relationship is similar to Sakura and Naruto's. It seems like a good portion of the Naruto fandom regrets the final couples and their dynamics. :chuckle:  :chuckle:  :chuckle:  :chuckle:

That Naruto-Boruto Ninja storm game is out. Probably not till next week we really know any numbers. But looking at youtube. The highest recent video numbers are around 200K views while most average around 15k high to 6k low views.

 

Oh by the look of one image Boruto's online player character now has black hair. So either they switched it before launch or her hair changes in the story...oh story.

Ok was bored so look up the game and watched the specials original game story cutscenes. You know the one that Therece thought was going to be the greatest story ever.

 

The games cover is five different Naruto. Part one and two Naruto, Sage Mode, Long Coat Kurama mode, 9 tailed beast sage boosted kurama mode. No Boruto or team seven. This game is called Naruto-Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storms: Connections, and they don't even have their second main character on the cover instead 5 different versions of one. That is as funny as it is pathetic.

 

Story:

 

The story opens up with the big bad cult leader talking about how their world is at peace because everyone is connected through memories. So he ask what would happen if those memories were taken away? So now all the villages are fighting again. This guy is a follower of Pein who claims to have inherited his will; which shows again that Naruto failed as those guys should have followed Naruto as Pein's inheritor. Naruto and Sasuke are also fighting and Naruto is under mind control. Boruto asks how did this happen.

 

So now to show how it happened. Neo Team 7 just finished catching a cat; can they come up with another D rank mission. Bolt leaves quickly to play his new video game, Ninja Heroes. Apparently, the reason he is playing it is so he can get a rare replica of Naruto's old necklace for his sister. He plays the game he decides to use his actual name...did no one teaching him about online privacy? The avatars are all the Naruto cast old forms, what a lazy & cheap mmo, surprisingly Bolt picks his father, and so Nanashi sticks out for being the only original looking character while posing as an event guide NPC. Bolt ask her to tell him what he should do to play the game, she tells him to read the manual, he refuses out of laziness, and she chews him out for being spoiled...30 seconds and she has him pegged. He finally annoys her into helping him, and then when she does he keeps bugging her until she has to handle everything.

 

Naruto and Shikamaru are in a meeting with Sleazy Inventor. Some employee stole some inventions from his lab...do the ninja villages do background checks? He also stole a scroll on the "history of the warring states seal." It is a list of people seal away during the warring states period, where they are held, and why...they can seal a person away for a hundred years!? And Naruto at no point thinks "this is horrible" and that they should release them. Then try to integrate them to the modern peaceful era? No. No. Just keep them locked up for all eternity or till the seals breaks; which ever comes first.

 

Bolt meets up with his friends, Shikamaru's son who plays his uncle Gaara & Blond Sai who plays Deidara, and convinces them to play the game with him. He notices Nanashi and talks to her. His friends notice that she behaves differently with Bolt than she does with anyone else...probably because everyone else knows what an npc is while he doesn't.

 

The next day the team goes on a mission to investigate a disturbance in the forest of the northern part of the land of fire. They find out the disturbance was caused by a glowing giant and they think it was Susano...the big bad released nanashi and she used her's. Bolt then spends time with his team and they agree to play the game with him. Salad chooses her mother Sakura she considered picking Naruto but didn't want to play a male character, and Cups chooses his creator Orochimaru...what an awkward group. Also Orochimaru bought two games so Cups could give one to Salad, they also call him Cup's "parent."  Since they met Nanashi along with Bolt they decided to also be friendly with her.

 

Turns out the video games is made by the big bad's cult to do something...stabilize the ninja that been seal away for a hundred years or the IT redux.

 

Naruto informs Bolt that people are collapsing while playing video games...why yes, this is made by CC2, the people that make the dot hack franchise. He informs his friends and they decide to investigate. And he experiences Nanashi's memories when login in. That night the IT happens and the leaf villagers are confused...do they not remember what happen like 15 years ago?! The moon flashes and they have the sharingan pattern on their hand. People who were playing the game at the time do not have the mark.

 

The next the day event to get that necklace finally happens...he going to win it, since he used his real name, and then the necklace is going to be used to control Naruto isn't it? Nanashi is reluctant because she knows what going to happen and tries to get Bolt not to go for the event. After talking to Bolt, Nanashi does something to crystals that have the old cast in them. It starts sealing off the memoires of those that got the seal. Then putting them under the big bad's control. So they start preparing for war. How are mind control people preparing for war suppose to learn pain and that war is bad? Any lesson on this is loss. If it was, "he took away their memories and then they went to war with each other," that's one thing, but they are all under mind control. Either make them kill themselves or use them to conquer the world. This war amongst the mind control is stupid.

 

That was the first hour of four hours of cutscenes. 

 

The team goes to Naruto. Seeing Bolt Naruto temporarily breaks free of the mind control due to Kurama protecting some of his memories. Tells them to go to Sasuke and inform him of the big bad. They immediately meet up with Sasuke and inform him. They also meet the Sleazy Inventor, who was also unaffected because he was also playing the game. He informs Sasuke about the game. And then Cups decides the story is too complicated for their audience to follow, so they decided to do a few recaps to catch everyone up...that's not me saying it. Sasuke and Sleazy realizes that the headset is transferring the players mind to a digital tsukuyomi world. Oh the scroll was information on dangerous genin who were sealed...dark. And again, why didn't Naruto ever think of releasing these children and tryo to give them a second chance of life in this peaceful era?

 

Sasuke orders the team to go into the game to try to find info. Bolt's teammates quickly realize the Nanashi is the uchiha controlling the game's/illusion world. After being doubt by Bolt for a second she instantly comes clean about everything. Yes she is in control of the world, she is working for the cult because they released her, the headset was draining their chakra both to restore her and to power an engraved tsukuyomi, and that event was to beat up the minds of the people she need to control with the one Bolt beat up being his own father. She was able to do this with her own special uchiha power Yachihoko. She is doing this because she want the ninja world in turmoil, due to her dark childhood trauma and resentment of the peaceful world the current generation was able to live in. She fights them. Then after the fight leaves. After she leaves a glowing ball creating cracks to try and help stop the chaos...I think its Toneri. Oh it is.

 

Toneri is going to help stop the war by restoring the memories that were lost and points out that it will that a significant amount of time to pad out this story with filler and flashback to Naruto. In fact, Naruto is so important because he is so CONNECTED to everyone whose memories were lost as he either knows or is know by everyone. So Bolt goes into the past to watch the event of Naruto. They inform their group what has happened. Then its just a montage of praising Naruto's story which I am skipping. Oh and apparently as he was doing this he also got to see fragments of Nanashi's past as well and why she is they way she is. Parents died, was told to abandon her birth name Hikari, treated as a weapon by her clan, and then sealed away by Senju and Sarutobi clans.

 

While that going on the war happens then is over once Bolt is done. Bolt's friends find the cult's lair. He goes there. Then he fights Nanashi. She eventually breaks down due to forming a bond with him. The big bad uses a combination of scifi ninja tools and seals to regain control of her. Eventually Naruto and Sasuke come in for the save. The big bad goes into speech mode and starting on about resetting the ninja world and pretty much what Pein and Sasuke wanted to do. After being defeated he reveal he gain artificial sharingan eyes with Nanashi's power. He uses this to absorb the powers of everyone was marked to give himself a susano...oh I guess that susano from before could have been him doing a field test. When it looks like Naruto and Sasuke are about to lose Bolt shows up and was given a power boost by Nanashi. They defeat the big bad. Standard shounen defeat lecture. And Nanashi seems to have died. He gives the memory crystal to his sister to make up for not getting the necklace...as seen with her previous behavior she would probably kill him otherwise for his failure.

 

Post credit true ending. To save Nanashi.

 

Due to the events all the pets have escape and they need to catch all of them...CAN THEY THINK UP ANOTHER D RANK MISSION!?! Bolt is depressed after moping around Toneri contacts him on a way to revive Nanashi. Oh the game has been taken over Train Boy (who did not appear in this) family company Kaminarimon. Toneri makes the manner to do this so conditional so it can't be repeated...isn't this at least the second time Bolt has travelled to the past by this point? He also points out that by doing so will make nanashi have a happy life in her time, but due to that all the events that happened in the game will be erased once its done, and the game itself may never exist. So he goes to the past gets capture and thrown into the same jail cell that has Nanashi. How convenient. Also, why yes, she pretty much has the same backstory as Kimimaro. Bolt break the jails seal and fights off the pursuers so Nanashi can escape. The Uchiha clan members point out that all of them exist to be weapons for their clan and she is no different. When they about to deliver the killing blow; Nanashi joins the fight. They defeat the clan members and escape. Dawn comes and the time limit Bolt can stay in the past is reached. He starts to fade while they have a heart to heart. Bolt also tells Nanashi her real name that she had forgotten, Hikari. So the present is overwritten and the cult is easily taken out by Sasuke. With Bolt only having a vague sense something good happened. Naruto also finds a scroll where it has Bolt's name in it.

 

So, this was suppose to be the story according to Therece that would erase Ikemoto's dark influence on Boruto and restore it to its glory or something like that? Well there were parts that weren't bad but I don't think its that good. Not helped that story is set up to erase itself instead.

 

1 hour of establishing story, then recap and flash back, the big fight, and then a post credit true ending that erases the story.

 

You know I don't think outside of Salad's player character, mentions, and flashbacks that Sakura is even in this game's story.

 

Thinking on it its kind of hard to place this story. Bolt has his karma seal but he is friendly with Sleazy Inventor. In the manga he has a grudge against Sleazy due to the chunin exam that isn't resolved till right before he meets Nail.

 

Also the Main cast Is Bolt, Cups, Salad, Sleazy, Sasuke, Blond Sai, and Shikamaru's son. No Fat Filler, Metal Lee, Train Boy, Repeater, or the Clone. And especially, no Nail.

Most story ideas would have been better than this. Granted it is at least better than it being Bolt's PC.

 

I honestly think that someone working at CC2 made a NS child Character on their engine at some point and they just reused it. Of course changing it to an Uchiha so they could have magic sharingan powers to justify her existence like all uchiha have.

 

Honestly the MMO Part felt so pointless and poorly made and seemed done because they had familiarity with such stories due to dot hack.

 

This story and their historic mode, which is a montage of Naruto's best hits to me, make its seem like originally. They were going to do the Boruto story but then they realized while storyboarding to adapt it, that the manga's story was too short to make a game out of. So instead, they went back to Naruto as well as made their own story to try and make a 12 hour game.

I wouldn't be suprised that's where the design for nanashi came from. Story mode from the boruto manga would just mean boruto, kwaki, naruto and sasuke would just be played in the story for 99% of the time to be honest

Pretty much.

 

Laying it out. In the manner of a ninja storm game:

 

Battle with Femmy would be a cool intro fight they usually do.
 
Richie Rich tutorial chapter ending with a fight against Molding cannibal.
 
Nail Intro: Spar among Neo-Team 7 with scientific ninja tools, battle again Kara puppet bots, battle against Cyborg Ao, maybe battle against clone Jiraiya, battle against random outer mook to show off Nail. Of course they would have to introduce the scifi tools that are then never used again after this arc.
 
Nail brought to village: Mustard attacks, Jenga first fight, Blacksmith fight.
 
Enter Madoc: Fight of Clone Jiraiya verse Jenga, Jenga part two a couple rounds of that to show of Suicide Nuke Mode and Bolt being taken over by Femmy. 
 
Punk: Him fighting random mooks, Fighting him a few times, The stab of Bros, Him fighting Moe.
 
Hime & Moe brought to the village: Fight against Nail, big tragic free for all against the cast to escape the village and set up part two.
 
With cutscenes to both set up the fights in between all of them. Of course they could add in a few fights and events here and there though even then. Does anyone really feel that would be interesting? A big problem with Boruto is none of its fights are that impressive unless its Naruto and Sasuke. Also probably it would have been difficult since part one ended what about 6 months ago and all the last arc does is add Salad's mangekyo.

 You know the one that Therece thought was going to be the greatest story ever.

 

 

 

 

You really can't forget about me, can you? I never said anything like that. Since you quoted me months later, I will clarify some recent events for some delusional fans who are still mourning NaruSaku death after 9 years.

 

I stated that they would disregard the Boruto manga storyline due to its poor quality and Ikemoto's inability to craft a compelling narrative or produce decent artwork. This has nothing to do with the canon couples.

 
The producers admited that:
 
Captura-de-tela-2023-11-22-134309.png
 
As you can see, they would rather create their own story instead of use Ikemoto story. 
 
- Instead of focusing on Boruto and Kawaki, they shifted their focus to Sasuke and Naruto.
- Rather than the Otsutsuki, they centered their attention on the Uchiha clan.
- Instead of the Karma power, they focused on the Sharingan.
- War and clans conflict instead of the aliens.
 
 
At this point they're just try to milk out the Uchihas and popular plots then tried to hide it by adding Boruto's character in the game.  
 
Despite your alleged popularity of NaruSaku, which led to a decline in the franchise's popularity due to fan backlash, the game producers remained oblivious and made no alterations to the canon couples. Instead of developing an alternative NaruSaku family, they introduced a New Team Special featuring Sasuke, Sakura, and Sarada. 
 
As you can see, Nanashi was just an Uchiha wearing a blonde wig instead of a NaruSaku daughter from another dimension. Let's hope that every blonde character introduced is a NaruSaku son.
 
Also today is the official couples day in Japan.
They still are using the Canon Couples propaganda and ignoring NaruSaku.
 
Captura-de-tela-2023-11-22-135228.png
 
 
They released a pair of rings referencing and paying tribute to Sasuke and Sakura.
 
Captura-de-tela-2023-11-22-132919.png
 
 
 
A big japonese site conducted a popularity poll to find out which couple is the most popular of all mangas. Guess what? 
 
 
Captura-de-tela-2023-11-22-135915.png
 
 
 
 
 
1 - Sasuke/Sakura from Naruto
2 - Naruto/Hinata from Naruto
3 - Yoh/Anna from Shaman King.
4 -  Lloyd/Yol Forger from Spy X Family.
5   - Ichigo/Inoue from Bleach.
 
Everybody in Japan hates the canon couples and everybody misses NaruSaku.   :umm:
 
I really admire the anger and some desilusional NaruSaku fan theories  fans 9 years after the ending.
 
 
GoodBye.
 
Let's wait. Maybe in 2050, a NaruSaku son from another dimension will appear, or Kishimoto will express regret for his canon couples decision, stating that he lost his wife based  Sakura to Sasuke due to the influence of the evil editors and Hinata fans.

Therece man you need to chill out. 99% of the NaruSaku fandom moved on and either just follow Boruto casually or dropped the series entirely after the ending nearly 10 years ago.

There's nothing to be gained by cheerleading the canon couples and kicking down on a fandom that is practically non-existant these days on here or elsewhere. Just enjoy the fact that you got what you wanted out of the series and will get more in the future and drop the rest of the drama.

Oh you're back. Or were you never gone and just lurking without logging in, or worse you had friends lurking...Wait, I see you wanted to show off those rings, isn't that cute? 

 

Anyways. This was one of your big arguments. Just because you're not here doesn't mean when it finally released we can't talk about it, or your talking points.

I stated that they would disregard the Boruto manga storyline due to its poor quality and Ikemoto's inability to craft a compelling narrative or produce decent artwork. This has nothing to do with the canon couples.

 
The producers admited that:
 
Captura-de-tela-2023-11-22-134309.png
 
As you can see, they would rather create their own story instead of use Ikemoto story.

Well, I was going off gut feeling. Nice to know it was the case, and sad at the same time. Normally, a company would try to hide something this bad.

 

From what I recall you were hoping they were going to erase Ikemoto's story. That's kind of hard to do with a self deleting story.

 

Anyways I thought it was a bad sign that they weren't just adapting the story like they did for every other Naruto game they did. But instead doing their own filler story. Even then I thought they were still going to adapt Boruto. Instead they did Naruto's Greatest Hits.  He is not on the cover, instead 5 different Naruto, and for 3/4th of the game you are playing Naruto or Bolt playing a Naruto NPC. How is this suppose to promote and lure old fans in to Boruto when they do everything to hide him?

 

How is this good for the IP when they are doing everything they can to run from it?

- Instead of focusing on Boruto and Kawaki, they shifted their focus to Sasuke and Naruto.

- Rather than the Otsutsuki, they centered their attention on the Uchiha clan.
- Instead of the Karma power, they focused on the Sharingan.
- War and clans conflict instead of the aliens.
 
At this point they're just try to milk out the Uchihas and popular plots then tried to hide it by adding Boruto's character in the game.  

Weren't most people getting sick of the Uchiha's over focus years before the ending?

 

Again. Why is it a good thing for the companies to have to hide all that make up the Boruto's story? They want them to support Boruto without knowing anything that makes it up other than being a sequel to Naruto. In that case, why should they be continuing it? Again, if Boruto ends so do likely the pairings you like if not the whole franchise.

Despite your alleged popularity of NaruSaku, which led to a decline in the franchise's popularity due to fan backlash, the game producers remained oblivious and made no alterations to the canon couples. Instead of developing an alternative NaruSaku family, they introduced a New Team Special featuring Sasuke, Sakura, and Sarada. 

Well, I guess that is true from a certain point of view. If 99% of the customer base has left because they didn't like the ending, didn't like the change of pairing, or just didn't like the sequel lead the came from the change of pairings. So in a way removing NS can be the cause of their decline, but also going with nH/SS.

As you can see, Nanashi was just an Uchiha wearing a blonde wig instead of a NaruSaku daughter from another dimension. Let's hope that every blonde character introduced is a NaruSaku son.

Pretty sure Nanashi/Hikari was a girl not a boy, and her appearance was different because of a full body illusion not a wig. Don't worry it quite clear you don't notice or understand a lot of things. So, I don't blame you, for not noticing.

Also today is the official couples day in Japan.

They still are using the Canon Couples propaganda and ignoring NaruSaku.

They released a pair of rings referencing and paying tribute to Sasuke and Sakura.
 
Captura-de-tela-2023-11-22-132919.png
 
 
A big japonese Japanese site conducted a popularity poll to find out which couple is the most popular of all mangas. Guess what? 
 
Captura-de-tela-2023-11-22-135915.png
 
 
1 - Sasuke/Sakura from Naruto
2 - Naruto/Hinata from Naruto
3 - Yoh/Anna from Shaman King.
4 -  Lloyd/Yol Forger from Spy X Family.
5   - Ichigo/Inoue from Bleach.
 
Everybody in Japan hates the canon couples and everybody misses NaruSaku.   :umm:
I really admire the anger and some desilusional NaruSaku fan theories  fans 9 years after the ending.
GoodBye.
 
Let's wait. Maybe in 2050, a NaruSaku son from another dimension will appear, or Kishimoto will express regret for his canon couples decision, stating that he lost his wife based  Sakura to Sasuke due to the influence of the evil editors and Hinata fans.

Ah your running or back to lurking now again.

 

Guess these are what brought you back because you thought they were wins, and are leaving before they become losses, again.

 

1. Part one of Boruto ended selling under 100,000, and was likely ordered to rush to its ending due to low sales.

 

2. The SS manga barely managed to get half that, and who knows for the other one.

 

3. The Boruto anime is on hiatus and still hasn't come back.

 

4. There was suppose to be a four episode special of Naruto that keeps delaying itself due to fear of low views.

 

5.  No new movies, despite all it contemporaries making tens if not hundreds of millions hand over fist with those now a days.

 

Now we are waiting for the sales data on both: Part Two to see if it was able to gain a following, and a game with a self deleting story. And you show up with some cheap ring, and some random poll without any data on either?

Narusaku never died May not be canon but still lives on in fanon. Can't blame people for thinking that nanashi looked like a narusaku kid, wouldn't be suprised if it was intended as a bait in switch to get people talking about the game. There have also been polls that have Japan fans wanting them separated as well https://www.crunchyr...iately-break-up
