You are most definitely not the only person who thinks so. 

 

Just a week before those dreadful final chapters were released, I felt like re-watching Shippuden episodes. The first 150 or so are especially awesome, filled with moments that highlight the wonderful NS bond and I really wanted to see those episodes again. 

 

But I postponed this idea. I was like- ' I should watch it after NS becomes canon in the final chapters. It'll be even more sweeter then '. Little did I know Kishi would asspull love the way he used to asspull power-ups. 

 

Now I regret not watching it back then because I find it impossible to watch Naruto episodes anymore. Whenever I look at Naruto's goofiness, his smiling face and that sheer desire to never give up in the episodes, I get reminded of the man he grows up to be. That hollow, soulless and fake Naruto of 700 comes to my mind.

 

Whenever I see Naruto and Sakura sharing their joys or pain, understanding and supporting each other, just being around each other in general, I automatically think- ' All of this ends with you two not exchanging a single word '. 

 

Its too painful. 

Bold: Ugh... my heart... it hurts. NaruSaku is the most tragic ship.

I'm sorry, but I need to repost my rant in here from the debate thread. It's fitting. These are just my initial reactions after hearing this news.

New updates from the movie are stating that Sakura tells Naruto that he only loved her due to his rivalry with Sasuke and she will never change her feelings about Sasuke.

Are you kittening joking me? Seriously? kittening hell, man. I didn't think it was possible for me to take this ending less seriously, but apparently I can now. Holy kitten. This isn't even about pairings at this point, I mean it is, but underneath all of that, this just ruins everything about both of their characters because this exchange between them is completely ooc in the worse way possible. Naruto looks like an kitten because it shows that his love was only about rivalry, which from what we've read in the manga, it CLEARLY wasn't. I don't even need to cite examples to show how unbelievably and plainly wrong this is.

And Sakura's "never wavering" feelings for Sasuke makes her into a bad character in light of her development while she was away from Sasuke for the majority of the manga? Sakura would be an awful woman if she chose Naruto over her first love eh, Kishi? No. This is objectively wrong. I don't care how you try to work around it. Does stuff like this happen where you can't choose who you want to be in love with? Yeah. It happens. And sometimes it's for the worst. Love comes with a price. And sometimes that price doesn't seem like it's worth it, but you keep on loving anyway because you can't help it. But this is kittening fiction. And it's a kittening shonen. There's suppose to be a happy ending to this and it's suppose to make sense. Does stuff like this happen in real life where women choose the kitten? Yeah. It does. But does that make it right? And I'm not defending this whole "nice guy should the get the girl instead of the arrogant kitten" argument because there's so much that's wrong with that type of thinking. And that's a completely different discussion on its own. But when you see Sakura around Naruto... and her being HAPPY around Naruto... and seeing her start to have ROMANTIC INTEREST in Naruto... that makes her a bad character? For her to move on from something that has hurt her to something that not only makes her actually happy, but shows ACTUAL CHARACTER GROWTH? That's bad? That shows a bad woman? Don't even make me kittening laugh. Well, than what does that make Naruto: A character who never gives up on ANYTHING, gives up on his first love to be with Hinata? This makes Naruto equally as bad if not worse within your own twisted logic, Kishi. kitten, it's so awful. 

You want to spontaneously(yes I know it was in the works since 2012, but for a series that has been in the works for 15 years, yeah, it's kittening spontaneous) add in a movie to cover gaps in your own original work? Fine. I mean, it's moronic, but fine. As long as you do it right, by all means. But when you have something like THIS, where both characters are acting ooc in negative ways in order to achieve what you, supposedly, originality wanted... can't you see that you're just creating even more problems instead of bridging the gap in your story in order for things to make sense for your ending? No. Things are making less and less sense and it's not even a good story anymore. It's sadistic and it's tasteless. What a kittening sorry excuse for a "romantic sub-plot". /rant

NaruSaku is the most tragic ship.

Sorry for the language. Just incredibly upset right now.

Ugh! That was so good!

He doesn't plan it.

But he did, though. And that's why it's so kittened up. I always found it funny how so many people called Kishi insane and in my mind I thought, "Okay guys, he may be a bad writer, but let's not get carried away." But after his most recent interview on the subject, no, he is absolutely insane.
