#990149 Minato One Shot: The Whirlwind Inside The Vortex

you could easily put Naruto and Sakura in their place with the exact same stuff going on. Barring whos the Jinchuruki and stuff. Especially that part at the end. Could see Naruto doing the exact same thing, saying the exact words.

Kishi gained some of my respect back with this one.


#990074 The NEW NaruSaku Debate Thread

Posted by Illnevergiveup3 on 07 July 2023 - 08:49 PM

Reflecting on the pairing and on how Naruto's final couples turned out a bit. I really, truly could have lived with NaruHina if there had been any effort at all in the last stretch of the manga to solidify it. In a way, I feel like that pairing may have been done even dirtier than NaruSaku. That ship was realized, only for it to have been realized in such an underwhelming way. It just feels hollow, empty. A shell of a shell.
 
For NaruSaku's case, I remember people here defending this scene to death, but...that false confession scene, in retrospect, really was the overture to NaruSaku's downfall. Not because it made the ship impossible, or even because it was a bad idea or strategy (Sakura's motivation behind it makes perfect sense, as does Naruto's reaction), but because Kishimoto just did not handle it with tact. And the fact that he didn't communicates something in its own, I think. In execution it came off much more as emotional manipulation than it did a desperate (and maybe even a little honest?) play, the latter of which being the more compelling and sympathetic way to write it. And the follow-up on Sakura's end from that point onward left a lot to be desired.
 
Sakura was done so dirty. This subject has been beaten to death, but god, it's true. I think the biggest reason I would say I'd ship NaruSaku now would be that the further Sakura is from Sasuke, the better. I could have lived with NaruHina, but SasuSaku? No. That's the ship that stung the most. And while I've grown numb to it now, with Boruto becoming as much of a meme presence as it has, that ship and the way it was forcibly made canon, barging on through every toxic wall it could on its way there... it'll always astound me.
 
I don't know if NaruSaku's positive elements as a ship were accidental. If Kishimoto accidentally wrote a healthier partnership than the obvious side ones he'd been bluntly, one-sidedly teasing. Part of me thinks it might have been. Considering how Kishimoto wrote many female characters, and how the writing of the romance in all aspects turned out... maybe NaruHina and SasuSaku had been the intention all along, and he'd written them the only way he knew how. One-sided crushes. Re-emphasized, over long periods of time. Maybe we were looking for a nuanced romantic relationship in a series that was determined to have superficial ones. Maybe we were hoping for too much, and the series had been more honest than we wanted it to be.
 
I'll always long for what NaruSaku could have been - scratch that, what Sakura could have been. We'll never get it. But what a nice dream it was. What a nice dream it will be for us, forever, somewhere buried deep in us.
 
The real NaruSaku was unironically the friends we made along the way.


aint no way NH/SS was ever the intention.

I actually love the rules he put on them. But, he had to follow through with them.

I always liked Zoe and Takuya from Digimon Frontiers (I believe?) . I think the series ended before it could finish though. Also, Takato and Jeri.

Also had this show, Duel Masters. Mimi and Shobu.


#989327 The Great Naruto Discussion Thread

Posted by Illnevergiveup3 on 29 April 2023 - 10:50 PM

You know... After recently re-reading and re-watching the series, I gotta say I think I would have honestly rather seen Sakura with Rock Lee than anyone else. After Lee's fight with Gaara, we really got to see how caring and gentle she can be with those she sees as friends, and that she's not a monster like she's made out to be by NH / Hinata fans. While it wasn't really a big ship from what I remember, I do believe the LeeSaku moments were some of the best interactions in the series on a character-to-character level. Of course, there were other moments that outdo them later on, but I would honestly love to see Sakura and Lee get more attention if the series ever got a reboot or something. 
 
I mean, even if it's too straightforward, Lee literally approached Sakura and asked her to be his girlfriend the second he saw her in the hallway of the Chuniin Exams. Can we all agree a brother at least deserves a chance with the girl for being THAT brave right off the bat? The guy didn't waste a second! He literally saw the girl he likes, approached her, asked her to be his girlfriend, then was shot down like a bomber over AAA guns in WWII. The guy deserves AT LEAST a pat on the back if nothing else! 


nah, not feeling it.

Just cut out this superiority air.   :ermm:
 
Just explain why Road to Ninja Movie have less box office than The Last ( NH Movie well knows for his Flop) and not even a half than Boruto Movie estreling SS/NH and Sarada/Boruto.
 
(Just like a lot of Japonese people hated the Last  false advertisement using Kakashi/Sasuke a lot of people hated Road the Ninja for the   false advertisement using SS, Sasuke and NH)
 
 
Why Road to Ninja official Novel have less than twice as sales compared to Retsuden, 20% of Sakura Hidden who sold 100k and just 2.1% of Sarada Gaiden who sold 900.000?
 
NS fandom simply isn't big or important for sales like you think in Japan and hardly they will make any diference in Boruto Sales.



shes got you on the ropes bra. You have to wrap your arm behind the ropes to prevent from falling after a knockout. You looking a little dizzy.

him saying hes proud as a writer doesnt necessarily equate to him liking the ending he was forced to do. And what you mean? If it was a NaruSaku ending, he would be buying his own island right about now with his wife and cat as rich as he would be. Probably wouldnt have to worry about writing a thing again.

I personally always felt like in the journey, getting the love of your life is the best part of it all. Especially after achieving everything else.

Nope, but they're definitely getting there.

you and I dont get to talk much but I feel like we just got this undeniable bro-bond for some reason.

And Im gone get back into it. I support the whole waiting until the end for Natsu to get the girl thing or in Fairy Tails case, Lucy to get the boy. I support that kind of thing in general. Hiro is doing it right.
