Oh my goodness. Sasuke was seriously going to cut through Sakura. o_o I certainly saw it. The angle matched and I noticed, in the three smaller panels where it zoomed into Sasuke's face; that the "!!" was coming from Naruto. I think he saw that Sasuke was going to attack Sakura. I mean, I don't think Madara was even doing anything or even going to and Sakura looked stuck.

In the final panel, where he grabbed her, it looked like Naruto either kicked Sasuke's sword, or kicked the barrier to launch him and Sakura away.
Either way, NaruSaku. <3

Sorry if someone else already said this. But that's just how I saw it.

I don't understand why anyone would believe the whole, "Kushina loves Naruto and so does Hinata, therefore Hinata = Kushina"...thing.
Loving someone is not a personality trait. Iruka loves Naruto. So is Hinata Iruka as well? Also that's kind of a poor argument. Kushina loves Naruto in the maternal way. Not the romantic way. She's his -mother-. So are they saying Hinata loves Naruto maternally? That, in and of itself tosses NaruHina out the window for whomever believes that.

 

Hinata really fails in all Kushina departments, personality-wise. There's a saying that talks about how boys end up with or try to find girls who are like their mothers. Really paves the way to NaruSaku if you ask me. Since it's canonly confirmed that Sakura is like Kushina.

 

An older argument I remember from long ago is how NH wouldn't do well, behavior-wise. Let's face it. Naruto goes overboard sometimes. His mouth starts running and he says things and does things that gets him in trouble. Sakura has always been the one to keep him in line. And it takes a -strong- hand to hold Naruto back. Something I can't see Hinata ever being able to provide. She'd just stand in the background muttering, "U-um um Naruto-kun you shouldn't-" while Naruto would be too busy doing what he's doing to listen to her. Let's face it. Especially in comedic moments, Hinata has no backbone unless she draws inspiration from Naruto. I don't think she would have the backbone to actually stand up to Naruto. No, not her idol.

So it's unlikely anyone would be calming anyone down in that relationship.

True, both Sakura and Naruto can be hot-headed. But they have both calmed (or at least tried to) each other down when one gets a little too hot-headed. They both know they're hot-headed people and they know how to handle each other in that regard. That's part of what makes them a good match. It takes a hot-head to tame a hot-head, sometimes. Just like it takes one to know one.

I'm not sure if anyone pointed this out already, because I only read the first and last page of this thread.

 

But did anyone else notice that the moments with Team Gai were very "Rock Lee and his Ninja Pals"-esque? Like...extremely so. To the point where those moments could have been in the spin-off themselves. Kishimoto obviously has drawn inspiration from that spin-off.

 

Also, that MinaKushi scene was lovely.

 

I can't wait to see what happens next. Team Gai is probably gonna step in but until they get there, I'm curious to see what will happen with Naruto, Sakura, Minato, Kakashi, Gaara, Obito, Black Zetsu and Madara. Naruto and Sakura are certainly in danger since Sakura has to focus on keeping Naruto alive until they can find a way to save him. I have to confess, while I am a little curious as to whom the mystery person is, I'm not too curious. I guess that's because, at the moment, I all I can focus on is what'll happen with Naruto and Sakura. It could be Kabuto. It might not be.

So this was just posted to the prediction thread on NF.
