but...im just worried about when sakura will be all aboard the narusaku ship, instead of constantly trying to find a way for her to still have a reason to like sasuke. (which im sure she stopped....but...its hard to tell whether shes thinking about sasuke cause shes worried as a team-mate and friend or cause she still likes him) maybe she doesnt even know....
i just want kishi to make it canon that sakura completely wants naruto ONLY
....maybe im more worried NO ship happens......not sasusaku.
well either way....this movie made me feel alot better :3
I think she will probably always love Sasuke, as all girls do with their first crush, but she will never really be able to bond with him. Sasuke and Naruto's bond is far more pronounced in this story.
Not to mention when she's around Sasuke, she is always suppressing her true inner self.
I've seen a lot of mention that Sakura wanted Sasuke's acknowledgement. That may be true, but don't forget she also wanted Ino's respect and acknowledgement. You can't be good friends unless you see each other as equals.
You wouldn't believe this but.... The movie where Sakura was captured and chained like Kushina did and at the same time Naruto carries her in bridal way like Minato did.
I know it's just a movie but still it's really a Ns fanservice done by Kishi who did the movie.
Im getting sick of these parellals.
How do you think they feel?
Maybe they should've read more of the manga? =X
Because the longer the story goes, the longer he can keep fans engaged. The same reason why Sasuke is still walking on the dark side. If this was an American sitcom or drama, Naruto and Sakura would've probably dated and broken up three times already.

I'm pretty sure a lot of people can get over their first crush. You really shouldn't categorize all girls as always being hung up in their first love. Girls who do that don't have the capacity to grow up and move on with life, Sakura doesn't really strike me as that type of character.
From the point onward that she decides to be with Naruto she's definitely not gonna have some secret yearning for Sasuke, that would speak badly of her character. But she can definitely reforge her bond with him. Sure, it won't be as powerful as the bond Naruto shares with Sasuke but it will be significant like the connection Kakashi has to him.
With Sasuke's acknowledgement Sakura can finally view herself as not inferior to him, therefore gaining the capacity of not suppressing herself when she's around him. What always hindered Sakura from being herself around him was that immature crush she held for him, but when she can let go of that and become a true friend of Sasuke then it won't happen anymore.

I'm not saying that she is incapable of "moving on" from Sasuke, I'm just saying it doesn't seem likely that she would come to hate him, in my opinion. Both she and Naruto still consider Sasuke a friend; they empathize with each other in that aspect.
I'm definitely not saying she would be yearning for Sasuke either. o_O
I think in this point of the story, she doesn't want to seek his approval, only to end his madness.

I agree with you.
She won't hate Sasuke, but she won't be in love with him anymore. It is nice that she doesn't give up hope, thanks to Naruto, but to think of him as a love material, it's not going to happen. She knows better that even with the whole ordeal, Sasuke was never interest in her. To me, I only see Sasuke with two options: alone or with Karin. The thing is I don't see Sasuke returning to Konoha and forgive them as they forgive him. I do see Sasuke becomes a wanderer as I see the best fitting ending for him when it comes to being alive and all.
Sakura needs to talk to him one last time to see what her feelings stand. If it wasn't the fact that Sasuke was going to kill her point blank, we could have a solution to her feelings, but it was postpone due to him being crazy. In fact, this is the first time that they confronted each other since part 2 began. Yes, she met him at Sai/Sasuke arc, but it was more of a shock factor. Hell, he only said to her, "Where's Kakashi?" It goes to show what his thought on Sakura: pretty much nothing. Kage Summit arc was the first time that we get to see Sakura's feelings for Sasuke in part 2 and it turns out it's pretty bad, which is why we now starting to see her feelings more (lover nin letter). At this point, she feels ashamed to be in love with a man who don't even fill in a requirement. So now, it seems like Kishi is finally putting her feelings to the test and whether she should move on or not. Again, confronting Sasuke one last time is the best option to have her feelings disappear and becomes a respectable friend.
Now people may ask, why she has to move on? The problem is that her love from the start was shallow and it was never true love. I seen many anime/manga that has this situation. She was always weaken by her crush love. Everytime you watch her with Sasuke, it's always depressing. The last good thing I ever witness was the genjutsu skill level. That's it. She even admits that Sasuke and her never really talk, which is why she will never understand him. If you read part 1 again, it was going downhill for Sakura, but at the same time, she goes up with Naruto. Naruto with Sakura is always a positive, whether it's comedy or drama. By the end of part 1, she saw him as a close friend who she can trust for anything because he's the man that will always remove her sadness. That's real love. When part 2 starts, Kishi stated that he wants to write romance for this part. If you ask me, it felt the timing couldn't be more coincidence. In part 1 and 2, there are couple of times that people think that they're a couple. Why not for her and Sasuke? Naruto hasn't change his feelings for Sakura at all, rather it just gets better. As for Sakura, there are many sources (Sai, Yamato, databook 3) that indicates that Sakura doesn't understand her feelings for Naruto. A lot of time she done is seen as a romantic note. Again, she doesn't know exactly. One would say she doesn't know because of her old crush is blocking it, which could be true. Other would say she just doesn't know yet and maybe, she should talk to him about their relationship. This is common in anime/manga for heroine not understanding her feelings for the hero. Her love for Sasuke is exposed many times, but why not Naruto. Because it will be the breaking point to romance, Naruto, and Sakura. Plus, romance is always resolved towards the end.
I could go on, but I think a lot of people got the clear picture. Also, anime studio is banking huge on NaruSaku as if they were told by Kishi himself, but who knows. All I can say is that switching sides would make this entirely awkward.

I get where you are coming from. Because Sasuke is such a huge connection between Naruto and Sakura as members of Team 7, it wouldn't be easy for Sakura to "get over" Sasuke when he has been the central goal between Naruto and herself. He is important to them. Sakura has become more realistic in terms of Sasukes downfall while Naruto is idealistic. Will Naruto succeed? Of course, it's Naruto. Sakura is just torn between the reality of the situation and the ideal hope Naruto has, thus is why she is leaving it to Sasuke and Naruto. As for her own feelings, she needs closure. If Sasuke doesn't like her, he needs to say that in order for her to even start the "moving on" process. Until then, Sakura will have lingering feelings for him ("what ifs") and will not know what to do with them. Though, that is not to say she wouldn't come up with her own resolve without Sasukes words. I thought him trying to cut her throat was a good enough answer to if Sasuke loves her or not. This is just my idea though. Kishimoto may have something else in mind.
As for the topic of none of the other fandoms talking about SasuSaku and NaruHina, I don't know about you guys but I been seeing a few "Menma is Hinatas boyfriend" around. A few came to me on DA to ask me about this. I always replied the same to them. Who said Menma is Hinatas man? Hinata. Who is selfish, possessive and full of themselves in the movie? Hinata. Would you trust a selfish, possessive and self-indulged persons word? No. If it was meant to be taken more on a serious note, I would assume someone else or even Narutos parents would have brought up the "how is your girlfriend doing?" kind of speech. Or why would Kiba even ask if Naruto and Sakura were on a date if he would have known Hinata and Naruto were dating? It was an innocent question, not a "you been caught" kind of question. AU! Hinata is just being used to prompt Naruto and Sakura closer. Not as in a romance kind of way but in a teamwork/friendship fashion. Don't know about you guys but I never got the feeling that Menma and Hinata were dating...it was just Hinata being possessive which is opposite from her cannon self (or is it?)

Someone posted before (not sure who) that Sakura should choose Naruto not because Sasuke pushed her away from him, but because Naruto pulled her in. Sakura's love for Naruto should only be because of Naruto's positive influence on her, not because of Sasuke's negative influence. How Sasuke feels about her shouldn't be a factor at all on her choosing Naruto.

Punkan ma~tsu or Chottomatte
Should be Hinata's first word, the moment she notice Naruto on Sakura it what seems like a date. She would of said, wait a minute what's going on here? Naruto can we talk? She not even try to find out waht's going on, she went straight on to telling Sakura that she would kill her instead of trying to do the obvious.

Sakura can find her own resolve before hand but Sakura needs closure with Sasuke and I honest to God believe Sasuke knows Naruto loves Sakura. I don't exactly mean Sasuke comes straight and is like "hey, I don't like you...move on" but something more along the lines that connects team seven and as friends. Come on, you can't tell me that if Sasuke comes back to Team 7, if Naruto and Sakura were dating, there wouldn't be some kind of conversation between the three in that regard. That would be an uncomfortable atmosphere if them three didn't line up on the same page. I don't mean this just for Sakuras sake, Naruto needs Sasuke to say something as well since Naruto doesn't seem to be over the fact that Sakura loves Sasuke.

Come on man, don't be mad.
With so many people posting so many things it's difficult to keep track of who posts what.
Anyway, thanks again for taking the time to do the translations on the fanart summaries. I look forward to them.
By the way, your new user name, ramenanmitsu, I'm gonna guess you chose it because it's a combination of Naruto's and Sakura's favorite foods to eat, right? With Naruto always loving a nice ramen and with Sakura, as we learned in the movie, stuffing herself with anmitsu when alone.

I don't understand why do you want to know? In fact why should we be caring what they think? Obviously they will say:
-It's not canon with the manga (although its true however they are forgetting Kishimoto wrote and directed the movie so it should be considered canon outside of the manga).
-They will disregard the movie from their eyes like it doesn't exist and they will continue to debate with the usual chapters (437 and 540).
-They're probably upset/disappointed that the movie doesn't support their pairing but only trolls their fav pairing.
Point is we shouldn't be caring what opposite fandoms think, let's enjoy the moment ourselves that this movie is pro NS and anti NH/SS and Kishi's way of saying that he supports NS and that's the endgame pairing period.

Charasuke who's only interested in girls is the worst it made me feel grateful for the real Sasuke
But the moment Charasuke appeared I really let out a squeak
Charasukeeee how dare you make Sakura-chan's face sad
Sasuke's face shows that I'm everybody's side so feel safe
Too annoying cute
But Naruto and Sakura's reaction to Charasuke was normal
I thought they could jump and become excited
Weren't they supposed to be craving him?
3rd Page
Hinata-sama was really Hinata sama

Anyways, I just had to stare a lot towards Sasuke ttebayo....
Narcisst pose like this
I can't control myself Charasukeeee
Sasuke with wet hair
So cute
I thought Charasuke was charai(playboy, flashy) from usual but he looked cool so I'm relieved
It seems like he only acts charai in front of girls
I want to become this chair
Thank you for your nude
What a cute butt
Thank you boys
If I get to have my say I wanted to have an angle from the front
Maybe I'm being too greedy.
(Wow that was awkward translating lol)
5th page
Minato dad is cute and nice
Kushina: I'm glad you have no injuries
Mooooooother
It must not only be me who thought it was sexy hearing Kushina shouting "aaaaah!" when she broke her leg
Red Habanero is very scary
Kushina: You're going to eat dinner aren't you!?
If it was this kind of mother, the son won't be able to be a delinquent
Minato is so refreshing when he was trying to dispel the seat on the scroll

I fell in love with Sakura-chan again with this scene

Sakura-chan's heel drop
*catches breath*
7th page
Menma: I get a bad feeling
Black Naruto Menma
When I thought that the masked boy could be Naruto it was bingo
Even though I prefer black hair I think Naruto is cuter with blonde
Menma is handsome and wild too
And why is the physical beauty of a boy so delicious
8th page
Here comes the fighters of justice Akatsuki
Itachi was such a gentleman staying next to Sakura-chan for the whole time after Naruto plead to him "please take care of Sakura-chan"
Sakura: Uchiha....Itachi....!
It was the moment I fell for Itasaku
Itachi touches Sakura-chan too much
Maybe he is a player like his little brother
Sasori, rescuing Naruto by spinning him in circles was so awesome
Deidara had such a cute face
The moment I heard, "we were sent from the Hokage" and acknowledged that they were indeed the good guys,
my skin went chicken with emotion and excitement
Akatsuki is too cool
*catches breath*
9th page
I already translated this
And sorry, I'll do the second one and third one tomorrow since my brain don't function anymore!
With so many people posting so many things it's difficult to keep track of who posts what.

This.
I already put quotes from them and trust me, it's not good. It's best to leave them alone. We should be happy for this movie being pro-NaruSaku.
@ramenanmitsu
Thank you so much for the translation. Sorry that you have to translate the 4th page. This is the same person who is a SasuSaku fan and admits that Sasuke was a jerk to her. Well, that answers your question, halfstarstudios. Man, Sakura was really like Naruto with that quote. I truly love this girl now. That's a heroine. Take notes, Hinata. People who wants to know why Naruto loves her, there's one of the few reasons there. It's nice that Itachi protects her because of Naruto. I always like Itachi and Naruto bonds. They could have been brother-like, but save that for Sasuke. Of course, the last page was already translated and boy, is it nice to hear unbiased fan's thoughts on NaruSaku. Redragon88 is right, if you convinced someone who's a fan of a different pairing, then you know it's saying a lot. I wonder if it will have the same effect here. Sadly, we got a year for everyone to know.
Again, thank you so much. Rest easy. Btw, nice choice of name. Thanks redragon88. Lol. Now we know our hero/heroine favorite food to eat, let alone how they stuff themselves with them. Sheesh, can they anymore similar? Well at least when they marry, Sakura should be the one to let Naruto know that the house should be clean.

Thank you for translating all of that. Also, don't worry about taking a break for today. If I has to translate an entire panel dedicated to how someone loves Sasuke's butt so much my brain would stop functioning as well. That panel was just...
I'll happily anticipate the rest of the translations, but of course take your time in doing it.
By that time Sakura will appreciate her mother's efforts even more.

Because I have a sick curious mind and I want to see them rage. Is that a problem for you? Don't ask me why I want to know something and don't tell me what I should be caring about. I've had NH and SS fans bash the living crap out of me and now I want to see their faces and reactions.
EDIT:Ok, maybe I overreacting a little. lol
