Interesting thing I noticed.
Sasuke and Sakura: Relationship started out rocky, maintained being rocky, and is rockier to this day. What started out as potholes turned into massive cliffs. In the words of Yahtzee: "Whoops, talk about side-stepping a pothole only to fall off a cliff."
Naruto and Hinata: Started out easy. Too easy almost. There was no bickering or problems between them. The trail was a smooth ride which seemed like all that was needed was the car to be turned around. Now that smooth ride has become a downhill slide with rocks and potholes abound. The bumps rattle your teeth, but not enough to really cause problems. Just aggravation and annoying. It also doesn't seem to be getting any better either seeing how the pairing needs to constantly get out and repair the flat-tires after hitting a sharp rock. I wonder how many spare tires this car has left?
Naruto and Sakura: Starts out as a rocky road. Again, nothing bone shattering or life threatening, but just annoying and aggravation. The road keeps going for a while; soon the holes get smaller and less deep. The rocks turn to pebbles that soon the car just easy crackles on. Sure you might see a big rock every so miles, but nothing too big to not be able to weave around. The road is beginning to smooth itself out it and appears it is only going to get flatter the more you move forward.
out of curiosity why are people counting 663 as a huge NS moment (I know its not because of the CPR) she says that she's not going to let him die because his dream of becoming hokage is so close to happening. I'm not saying it isn't an NS moment I'm just wondering why people count it as one of the significant ones.
I don't know, why do people count 540 as a SS moment? Before anyone says "We don't," well...then why is it always called into question and why does it seem to trump all other moments before and after the fact? I know some think it does despite some denying such a claim. I am just saying that if it is not that big of a deal or that something else counter acts it, then people wouldn't be bringing it up in the first place.
The reason why 663 is such a big win for us is because of several things.
1. Sakura was specifically chosen to go with Gaara and Naruto.
2. Hinata fell flat on her face. Not the fact that she fell and seen as useless is what makes it, but the fact that the idea of Hinata being unable to be there even though she had every chance she had. The fact that she tripped and never got back up despite taking on Naruto's "Never give up" nindo.
3. Sakura is not giving up on Naruto's life and dream and very much wants to support it. Very similar to what Itachi said about Kushina to Minato who also supported his dream.
3.5. Sakura's response and unwillingness to give up similar to that of Karin's will to be by Sasuke. We know Karin is in love with Sasuke and you can clearly see both girls doing everything they can for this one special guy. There is a reason why they both are mirrored in that chapter and both were seen side by side.
4. Because out of all the possibilities Kishimoto could have written....this is what he set up. He set up something to happen in terms of Sakura's and Naruto's relationship. It is not end game just yet, but it is like the time is SAO when Asuna held on to Kirito when she thought he was dying and they ended up a couple in the end.
