The moment they included a filler kind of love interest in Kakashi's novel and a large amount of Shikatema in Shikamaru's novel you knew Sakura's novel would contain Sasusake since she is much more about romance than either of them.

I personally don't think she looks bad at all but I obviously dislike anything related to Sasusaku.

They are from Shonnen Jump and pertain to Sakura's novel.

You were all right what a surprise. We finally get to see how Sasuke and Sakura get together and what it is Sasusaku fans see that we don't. How amazing.

A general timeline of events and novels.

* Chapter 700

The movie seems to go way over the top with NH. Even though I am not happy about NH they still could have done with less cheesy NH scenes and shown more action with characters like Sasuke and I am sure many fans would have been more happy with this film. Sakura does not even do that bad in the movie. She was along with Shikamaru the only rookies to be promoted to jonin. She breaks them all out of the genjutsu they were in, heals Naruto when he is done, fights the puppets well, and helps rescue Hanabi. I don't even mind her helping hook Naruto and Hinata up if that is what she feels they both deserve. I just wish she would have not trivialized the bond she and Naruto had and simply said while they were both close and will always care deeply for each other it just didn't work and it would have been more satisfying. Now Sasusaku is a joke I have no idea how that happened. I mean really in the movie Naruto and Hinata are already married and Sasuke has not come back and seen Sakura since many years before. How the heck did they get together fast enough to have a kid the same age as Naruto and Hinata. (In story answer none. Out of story answer he just wanted Naruto's and Sasuke's kid to be the same age so they could be on the same team in the new series.)
