Thank you! It was awesome. You can really see the progression and change in dynamics compared to when they first formed Team 7. Even without the surrounding panels or the full manga you can still get a feel of the story and it feel like you know exactly what's going on. The only negative is basically the lack of Sakura in current chapters because you can feel how jarring her appearance is in the last few posted panels, but hopefully kishimoto will show her soon. And kicking butt at that! After all, there is a limit to out Sakura withdrawals... Heh.

All i can say is omfg.gif wow.png

Confidence improved from 100% to 1000%, make some more come our way plz Kishi,

Even in the confession panels there are still tidbits of her having good intentions for Naruto, heck he is even thinking of her after the confession before overcoming his hatred from when he hurt her in the 4 tails incident.

There is no way in hell something this developed and built would just vanish

Excellent job Slextrem, and yeah that perverted scene is one of the best comdic scenes in the whole series.

You know out of everything on here this panel stood out the most.



It's just hilarious to see Naruto in that panel! You would think he'd be afraid but he's just so happy! tongue.gif
He's in the presence of one of the strongest tsunderes in existence and he can't stop smiling! I don't know, maybe it's just me but I love this panel.

This panel exists and there's still some fans who say that he doesn't love her anymore and that he's over her fu.png

This love from a protagonist can't diminish.

I believe there will be more for her soon. smile.gif

After reading all of the chapters together, it doesn't even feel like she's missing. There are a couple of fights in-between her appearances, but since I wasn't having to wait a week for the next chapter, I ran into one of her moments rather quickly. She's still given quite a few significant moments throughout the War Arc - I'm going to say it's slightly less than equal panel time to everyone else. The best way to read this kind of manga is by volume, for sure.

Another really interesting thing about reading the manga as a whole was how irrelevant Hinata's biggest moments felt. After going through all of those moments with Naruto, Sakura, Team Seven, etc... her conversation with Naruto, her confession, when Naruto rescues her from the zetsu... None of it really stood out. She was constantly being overshadowed by the plot of the story, which she has no involvement in. I'm assuming it will end up being the same case for the handhold. We'll see.

I'm also really surprised at how much Sakura actually did during the Pain arc. It didn't feel like much at the time, but as I was reading through, I kept running into panels of her. I felt really proud of her character after that arc. I feel like she truly acted as a heroine, even though she wasn't contributing to the battle. She was on her feet and helping everyone as soon as the attack started; After Naruto arrived she tried to stay informed about what was happening during the battle; When he went 6-tails she instantly had Katsuyu tell everyone to evacuate the area, at the same time she was trying to figure out how to stop Naruto, at the same time she was planning on saving Hinata. That`s my girl. love.gif

Sakura for president biggrin.gif. But seriusly, Naruto can be the biggest goofball in existence but as long as he has Sakura he`s going to do a great job as hokage.

Also great job slex. Thank you for your hard work.

And this is why i disagree with people saying shes not heroine like, kishi keeps forgetting her, sakura is undeveloped and hinata is a better heroine. As i said many times, she doesnt seem to be forgotten if you read the manga in chunks.

As always, i dont think kishi has done a bad job with his heroine.

Kishi could have done a bit more with sakura but all the events, that's enough to fall back to until we see so otherwise.

After seeing this much even if some of it is not pairing stuff for narusaku, it's still development between them, just minor. Yet people act like all this can just go away or be forgotten. Kishi needs either a lot of white out or on giant sheet to cover and hide all this. It's looking more and more likely that narutos character would lose his logic and consistency to just drop his crush on sakura. Hell the story would lose logic if this happened.

But remember he never gives up, and the one thing I bet he would never give up on is sakura.

It's funny that you say this because I just marathoned 200+ chapters to refresh myself on the plot and to catch up a bit and I loved every single second. Holy crap when I was reading weekly updates, it was torture. I don't know why it's so different.

Now compared all those panels, chapters the development NS has been given since the beginning of the manga to chapters 437 and 615 which are considered as" NH moments"? 2 chapters against over 400 chapters anyone can tell which pairing has the more development and build up.
