Most the part of her role and an huge part of romance in manga comes from Sakura.

Even her character concept does not help her from being seen as a pairing fodder i see her as someome who will be paired in the end.
I dont see that with Naruto or Sasuke but it's certain that Sakura will because she's the romance subplot of the manga she's always being the major factor that push romance/pairing scenes.

Next chapter we will get some pairing/romance scene and guess what? it will come from Sakura.

 

Not even Hinata is helping into this because her moments are being seemd as a friendship rather than romantic moments, even the so called 615 moment got seemed as a friendship/comrade moment rather than romance.(Kishi himself)

I assume that you see this as something wrong ? Cause I really don't see where the wrongness in here. Yes, Sakura could be less romance and more fighting, but she's both with romance as one of her traits concerning in the plot of the story. Not to mention that main female/s character/s will have to show romance in manga for the sake of the pairing/s that is/are due for them.

Same goes with Sakura being a character that fights concerning the action part in the plot that was being processed throughout the manga from time to time regarding her, and now, after latest chapters, it's fixed as one of her traits also.

A pairing fodder means a character, usually side character, that most of their presence in the manga is used for romance part, and that's it. Sakura contributes in the romance of the manga a lot, but she's not just that from what we see. If you see Sakura as a pairing fodder most of the time, well, that's your opinion but it's unfair for her to be seen mostly as a character just that.

 

Still that translation really has to change because it concerns Sakura as a character not the pairing as a whole. If that translation remains and NS happens Sakura will be hated for just being a pairing fodder character, and Hinata fans will be disappointed that Hinata didn't get more development " as the new heroine". If it's changed than it would help clear some things up.

Well, Sakura is the heroine. If some saw her as a pairing fodder... It doesn't make sense the least. Being the heroine completely dismiss the pairing fodder term. These kinds of terms will be said from Antis or another pairing shipper that has his/her pairing goggles well firmed.

Thanks narulsaku and Sakura Blossoms. I appreciate it XD

Sakura confessing as ploy... She did that before and she won't do that again. It doesn't fit in the story now.

Good or bad, I'm really wondering if Sasuke has any interest in the Ten Tails when it comes to becoming Hokage. Another I'm wondering is if even though he doesn't care what anyone thinks, why would he try to rule over Konoha with an iron fist considering he's heard what happened with Madara? I seriously doubt he'd follow in his footsteps when it comes to being the Hokage. Sure, his way of running things may be a bit different from Naruto, but I can't wrap my head around him wanting the Ten Tails, and thus ruling Konoha with an iron fist, and thus ruling over the Ninja World completely when you think about it. Who'd be able to stop him? 

 

Meh, I'm done thinking about it for now. lol 

I really don't know for now whether he wants to control the Juubi or not for sure. While it's very possible, like you said, he doesn't care what anyone thinks of him being Hokage, which is why I think it will all turn out in the Naruto vs Sasuke battle. Everything is resolved and cleared here regarding Sasuke. Sasuke will reveal his true self at the end of this battle.

Somehow, there's another thought in my head that maybe Sasuke wants to host the juubi or control it cause he wants to be able to fight well against Naruto. Sasuke knows Naruto won't step aside for him being Hokage.

 

Despite the riddles Kishi presented in this chapter that are bringing into question what certain characters' intentions actually are it's almost entirely unlikely that Orochimaru would assist Madara in creating what amounts to him being deprived of his goal of becoming as powerful as the Sot6P Even if Sasuke begins to fight alongside Madara I sincerely doubt Orochimaru would allow their plans to come to fruition like that. He'll assist the alliance in defeating Madara and Sasuke but will ultimately turn against them as well.

 

As for Madara if Sasuke attempts to acquire control of the Jubi then would he not intervene to prevent this child from destroying his lifelong desires? Yes, he wants to fight against Hashirama but as of yet his intention to execute the Moon's Eye Plan has not been placed in any significant jeopardy from his perspective it seems.

I don't think at all that Orochimaru or Sasuke would stand with or assist Madara. And, yes, Madara's plan is still on the table which the story will turn to it in the future chapters.

The thing is that, the situations right now need to be a bit more clear which is why I'm waiting for the upcoming chapters. There's Madara, there are Sasuke and Orochimaru plans, there's the Juubi if it's still alive or not which I think it's still is. So many directions which Kishi can continue his manga with.

I believe this is the answer:

Chapter 4

Edit: I reuploaded the image. Can you see it now?

Slug Sage Mode is very well possible. This, Byakugo, Yin seal and a new technique that we don't know of are equally possible. Who knows what Sakura has been mastering.

I think it will be new technique or Slug Sage Mode, but I'm leaning more towards a new technique.

what about Hyuuga Naruto?!

Does anyone else thinks or feels that Hyuuga Naruto is for a girl or girlish ? 0_o
