Or you know...he has a life outside of Naruto and just got busy lol. No need to be suspicious I think since it's just a fictional story/remake.

Two of these I wished to see canon, but didn't unfortunatley!
The other two (NaLu, and LuNa) I can definitely see the horizon spreading for them both especially with NaLu!

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.

Thank you so much Bail, I really love your response!
What you said is true, For the longest time I was probably the most well known NaruSaku Shipper on Youtube, and I am truly honored in dedicating the time I spent on those videos I did over the years in terms of the "canon" prior to the ending.
I can totally understand the concern about me being converted again after what happened last year due to the life crisis I went through, but believe me when I say this.... I'm not gonna get swayed again when it comes to the canon pairing of NaruHina.
I should've been a little more clear about this in the video when talking about NaruSaku fan projects, but I will discuss about NaruSaku fan projects on my channel like Chatte's manga adaptation of Kaika Saisei each time she releases a chapter.
I also plan on doing a breakdown analysis of the fan animation of Naruto Alternative The Last at some point either by the tail end of this year or the beginning of next year.
I knew that was the one missing piece I forgot to dive into in the video, but I will address it in the comments section.
I've thought about doing that, but honestly the comments section don't necessarily bother me too much as it does give me a chance to interact with the viewers.
Truth be told NaruSaku isn't necessarily the only aspect of my youtube channel, since Naruto ended I have been branching it out with like other anime/manga content over the years such as Fairy Tail, Edens Zero, Attack on Titan, My Hero, Black Clover, etc..
I just won't necessarily be making videos regarding what could've been versus what we ended up with.
Again, thanks so much for the comment I really love that you took the time to give me your honest thoughts on it.

True true it would be the first in a long time since weve seen him draw.
As far as it looking like the old Kishi art, I can see it and thats honestly not a bad thing. I actually do kinda prefer how Kishis art style was in part 1 over in part 2.
Well were gonna find out in less then 15 days!

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!

Just cut out this superiority air.
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.
