So I was walking around Walmart earlier, and I came across the Sakura Novel, and I did look at it for atleast a good minutes. Then I decided to just skim through the entire book and then I found something before I left and I was like wow I'm not sure how I feel about this little moment and I'll type it word for word from the novel: 

 

 

She heard that Naruto started teaching at the academy from time to time as a special lecturer after the Great War. And watching him now, he seemed to be doing an excellent job of it.  "Hey! When you're sparring, make sure you weave the sign of reconciliation! whether you're strong or weak or whatever, that's a ninja rule."

 

Students who did not follow the kata etiquette got a rap on the head from Naruto.

 

You were like that too, way back when, Sakura told him in her head and smiled softly.

 

Once he ha given instruction to all the students, Naruto had them line up and bowed with him.

 

Raising his head, he noticed Sakura. "Hey!" he called out. "Sakura!"

 

She waved her hand in a small gesture.

 

"You guys just wait a sec," Naruto told the children before trotting over to her, "What's up? You got the day off?"

 

"Mmm, well  I guess it's something like that," Sakura answered. "But look at you, you're quite the teacher , hmm"

 

"Right?" Naruto grinned and rubbed the bottom of his nose with a finger. He then clapped his hands together. "Oh, hey! You're  here now, why don't you give it a go too? teach them their kata." 

 

"What? No, I'm good." 

 

"Come on, just for a minute. Show them the incredible techniques of a lady ninja with superhuman strength!"

 

"Now look, you can just stop with the 'superhuman thing-"

 

"Hey! Guys! A super amazing guest teacher's come by you today!" Naruto turned to the children and shouted, and without a sparing second for Sakura's protest. "Check it out! Superhuman lady ninja teacher, Haruno Sakura!"

 

"And now you say it a second time!" Just as Sakura shot off this retort, the children joined their voices as one.

 

"Thank you very much, superhuman teacher!"

 

"See? This is because you shoot your mouth off!" Sakura said with a snort. 

 

"Hurry up!" he called, returning to the children. 

 

"This guy..." Sakura said to him in her mind, and briefly smiled.

 

 

 

Everything after that just focused on Sakura teaching the children, and that's where I put the book and picked up Tokyo Ghoul Volume 6 and left the store.

 

Side note: There was also another small moment between them in chapter 4 if anyone wants me to write it out word for word as the novel did.

What?? from what i read the rumor said Sakura novel is full of SS moment, or at least between her and sasuke clone, and there's this sasuke thinking of sakura under sakura tree ... are you what you reading is sakura novel?? must be different one.

[LuckyChi7]

Well that rumor is wrong, the only SS moment I read was a little dream sequence she had, and that was about it. I will say based on what I skimmed through the mission that deals with Sasuke being in leagues with a group of terrorists, and kinda Sakura being worried about it at first, but then takes an upfront approach and investigating what really's going down.  There was about there being something between Sakura and a Sasuke clone, and no Sasuke thinking of Sakura under a sakura tree.  So yeah this the same novel I read through at walmart: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm not sure where it happens in the book, but there's a new team formation of: Ino-Saku-Sai which hints that Ino and Sai do accompany her on the mission. I'm not gonna lie that's kinda cool. 

 

There is one thing that made me go like oh great this..... Supposedly Naruto and Hinata were dating 3 months when the story takes place and this is like chapter 1, Naruto and Hinata have already sent wedding invitations to everyone.

[Yyubie]

Is it true the guy who write sakura novel is the guy that wrote one of the movie called blood prison??

[LuckyChi7]

No the writer of Blood Prison was Akira Higashiyama.

 

 

The write  of Sakura's Story was Tomohito Osaki. 

[Bail o' Lies]

The guy who wrote the kakashi novel wrote blood prison.

 

Well that was a nice moment. But seriously they date for 3 months and are already planning on marrying? Shotgun weddings in Las Vegas don't happen that fast. Also explains why their marriage in on the rocks by the time bolt is 12, and also when Naruto was becoming hokage. Boruto really was the "bolt" that held them together. Without him popping out as soon as they were married. They probably would have gotten an amicable divorce years ago.

If the above episode was written before the ending took place and before all of these NH/SS mess, NS fans would be very excited, there will be many discussion and theory come up. Opposing fandoms would also join in and reinvest their interest in the manga.

But written post-ending, all of us feel disgusted. It doesn't help SS or NH, let alone made them joy. It certainly would not bring NS fans back to buy the novel. It's like beating a dead horse.

I dare to say that the writer is pretty much have no idea how SS would interact without making the story boring.

And that's the irony. NS lent itself to a better storytelling (Gaara fight, promise of a lifetime, etc). Some would find their interaction to be borderline cute, natural fans would probably just smile, opposing fans will claim they are like brother and sister.

Little they know that only Naruto can put such smile on Sakura's face and vice versaversa.

Put any writer to write the content, you would find themselves writing about Naruto and Sakura interaction similar to above episode. That's just how natural they are in this series. Anyone who tried to swap the characters above (Sakura with Hinata) or (Naruto with Sasuke) will find themselves failing.

That's what we call chemistry.

I read an article that once you set a foundation to the story, the characters live by themselves. Granted, I'm not a professional writer, but learning from my experience writing a fanfiction (https://m.fanfiction...1/The-Endurance), I think that statement is very true. Once characters are given role, and setup, the way they'd interact would be as natural as two real people interacting.

Any writer would have put NS together simply because it obvious that what the plot was working towards the entire time. No author would have done what kishi did even if the fans hated the pairing and even if the editor kept trying to change the pairing. They would keep it if only since it would be more damaging to the story to abandon it. 

 

The only time i could see something like this happening is in comic because of the changing of authors, and their knowledge of the story and their intent in writing it. For example Joe quasda ordered the ending of Peter Parker and Mary Jane marriage because when he was a kid Peter was a web swinging playboy that had two new women on both of his arms fighting over him each week. Which he felt was the true spiderman and wanted to restore peter to that time. The way he did it is one of the most infamous & criticized comic in history, and heavily damage spiderman's reputation & popularity among comic fans. Or at least that's what I've heard.

Remember guys, this Sakura novel has Sakura and Ino opening a clinic for children's healthy mental development.

Pray tell, why weren't Boruto and Sarada helped with their family issues? Why is Chouchou so worried about her weight? Why hasn't anyone in that clinic tried to make an intervention when they discovered Mitsuki's previous living conditions? Why is Kawaki going to destroy Konoha and (maybe) kill Naruto? Why is Sakura never shown actually working??

It's useless, it's all useless. Sakura has been living in self denial for so long, who's to say that this entire Sakura novel isn't a fabrication of her mind?

And don't even get me started on the villain of her novel.

Plus, this is supposed to be a novel about Sakura's "hidden feelings". This is pure baloney. A waste of time and money, because there is nothing in this novel that contributes to the main story and influences it in a meaningful way. ...I suppose they got that part of Sakura consistent.

Some anti done good job infuriate otaku community by bashing their self insert character using NS as its baner. Narusaku admin already warn them but it felt in deaf ear, as NH fans I'm very grateful anti ignore Narusaku admin warning all along.

I know. Disney is best at these stories.
