this chapter basically confirms sarada is sakura's daughter and kishi was just trolling fans sk

If that were true, it'd be another total asspull. That's like saying Sakura is Tsunade's daughter because she uses the same techniques as her. Sakura's techniques aren't inherited through blood, they are achieved through hard work and rigorous training, which is why it's an asspull even if it isn't being used to try and confirm their blood relationship. I highly doubt Sarada, a 12 year old, was able to train hard enough in order to be able to punch the ground as massively as when Sakura first awoke her seal when she was fighting the Zetsu.

Sakura is so whipped.
Sakura: Darling, thank you!
Sasuke: Eh, whatever, go heal the scars yourself later.
Sakura: Yeah.. *whipped smile*

Gotta love the contrived romance that is SasuSaku.   

Man, Naruto is so old fashioned running to Sasuke.. why didn't he just take a car? It isn't as if they live in a ninja world or anything. 

Also, when is Hinata gonna stop taking Sakura's style?

So, it was Sakura's punch that resulted in the house falling down, right?

I have to say, reading this was quite entertaining.. I knew Sarada would be related to Karin. I honestly can't emphasize how pathetic Sakura looks.. and I'm not even talking about her doing housework or anything people consider to be sexist. She waited all of Part 1 miserably (except when she was with Naruto), all of Part 2 miserably (once again, except when she was with Naruto), and now TWELVE years for Sasuke, a guy who is never around. A guy who did nothing but degrade her the entire series and break her down to nothing but tears, someone who contributed absolutely NOTHING of worth to her life. 

And yet, all this time later, she still stands there spouting damage control when her own "daughter" questions her about this. The worst part was when I saw she put her picture over Karin's in the "family" photo. I laughed so hard. Seriously? They don't even have one photo together. Sakura is so desperate that she had to put her photo over Karin's in the picture frame. 

Oh yeah, and suddenly she faints a lot.. she must be seeing Sasuke's ghost quite often. I wonder, when she gets to be Tsunade's age and Sasuke still isn't around and she begins to look back at her life, what will she think? Oh well, I guess she'd consider a life of nothing but waiting around miserably, distracting herself from the truth and lying to herself fulfilling.

Kishi quote of the week: ""

Thank you, Kishimoto.

They share the same sense of fashion, too. 

Just a reminder: why did Minato compare Sakura to Kushina?

Could somebody post all the sketches that have come out recently please? I haven't seen the ones where Naruto and Sakura are drawn a lot 

Are these what you were looking for? 

Naruto & Sakura: The Last

 

Kishi quote of the week: "Four weeks left... Only a little more to go, so I'm going to work my hardest until the end!"

You know what? As sad as it is, I think this is going to be great. Kishi said "I'd love it it if everyone could stick with it until the very end.. I plan to wrap up Naruto conclusively, so please look forward to it" and I will. I really think these last chapters are going to bring out my child self, the one who fell in love with and was influenced so heavily by this manga so long ago. I remember seeing commercials for Naruto on Cartoon Network as a kid and thinking, "this show looks so stupid and annoying," and then one night I sat and watched it and was hooked (kinda like Sakura with Naruto.. hehe  ).

Many people like to talk crap and complain, but deep down, I believe this manga has some sort of place in all of our hearts, otherwise we wouldn't be here. Let's enjoy it! Afterwards, he can finally take his wife on their honeymoon. Thank you for this amazing ride, Kishi-sensei!

I have two spare special demo codes for Super Smash Brothers 3DS, so if anyone is interested, please let me know. There's no limit on play sessions, and is available a week before the public demo. You can play as Mario, Link, Pikachu, Villager and Megaman as well as their alternate outfits on the Battlefield stage. The codes have to be redeemed by September 19th, 2014, so please let me know quickly if you want one. I'd rather them be used than put to waste. 

EDIT: I have one more code left, so please let me know if you want it!

REEDIT: I have given out the two codes, so I no longer have any. Thank you to SilverStar and Illmatic for using them. I hope you enjoy! 

Kishi quote of the week: "I loved How to Train Your Dragon, so I'm praying that the sequel will be released in Japan!"

Well, one thing: why do people not have the problems with Kurama that they do with Obito? Numerous times Kurama has tried to kill Naruto out of pure hatred. And whether or not he "technically" killed Minato and Kushina, the intent was there.

I don't really have any problems with Naruto thinking Obito is a cool guy. He sees the best in people. He saw his memories of his old life, and in those memories he probably sees himself. Obito realized that he is scum for his despicable actions and deserves no better death- in fact, he was happy to go out and leave his life behind. He did what he could to make up for his actions even though nothing he could do would ever be good enough. He fought the good fight and did what he could- for that, he is cool. Spitting on his ashes for eternity isn't going to do anything. There is nothing that anyone, even he, could do that would be good enough to make up for his actions. He changed and that's what matters in the end, so forgiveness is the only way about it, lest the cycle of hatred continue.

Kishi quote of the week: "My daughter asked me to read her the picture book The Ghost of the Cake Store, but I was the one who ended up crying."

OMG Sasuke and the vest is canon.

Sasuke x the vest.

(sorry.. couldn't resist)
