it's like saying "kakashi and rin would have happened". why even ask for that? if not for obito kakashi would have let rin die... 
kishimoto and his brother were probably close so he wanted to keep the team the way it was in the story. even in dragon quest/hunterxhunter/o-parts hunter they all have a character kind of like sasuke

 

 

I'd make the argument that Seishi kept Ruby Crescent (the heroine) a core integral component to the narrative of O-Parts Hunter, and specifically to Jio Freed since the first chapter of the series all the way to the end. You could just tell inseparable  Seishi made Jio and Ruby which really shows.  The final chapter cover also speaks a lot on that front too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Masashi really needed the same touch that Seishi had when it came to developing his female characters and of course the romance aspect of it for Naruto and Sakura. 

 

 

I do wish so much that we got the same level of love and care for NaruSaku especially in the later half of Part 2 without Masashi throwing a bone to get the fandoms to wag their tails... like "OMG could it be? Could it be?"  and I'm just like thinking.... as an aspiring writer..... this is not how to win over your readers when it comes to developing romance between two characters. 

 

 

I know the argument a lot of people make is "Well Naruto isn't a romance therefore it's fine we didn't get a lot of focus..."  that has always been such a poor excuse I've heard time and time again.

 

 

Which, I'm gonna say this.... if romance isn't gonna be a super integral piece to the narrative of your story.... which is totally fine because any writer has the freedom to do that, but...  here's my advice.... Don't just fool around with your readers about which couple will be canon..... 

 

If you as the writer already know from the conception of your story that this couple is going to be canon then just focus on developing that pairing as you are telling the story you've created. 

 

 

That is definitely the #1 thing Masashi didn't understand when it came to Naruto. 

I'll give my two cents on this whole thing, and given that we're slowly reaching the 10 year anniversary since Naruto ended.... 

 

 

More so with Part 2  to be perfectly frank, but here's the one thing I realized when it came to most of Naruto and Sakura's conversations.  A lot of them are all centered around Sasuke whether it's directly stated or not. Their  dynamic is great  and I still like it, but  I can't fathom how annoying it is just hearing them talk about Sasuke throughout Part 2. 

 

 

I think it's perfectly fine for Naruto and Sakura to start off Part 2 that way with them talking about the good old days with Sasuke, but... really when I look at at other series like Kenshin,  Yu Yu Hakushou,   Rave Master,  O-Parts Hunter,  Kingdom Hearts,  Shaman King, Final Fantasy, My Hero Academia, Black Clover, Avatar The Last Airbender, etc... a lot of the couple dynamics talk about more things than just one particular friend all the time. They talk about the future, and where they want to grow as time goes on. What they can do to better themselves as an individual, and how to make their mark on the world. 

 

I definitely feel that is one aspect that Naruto and Sakura heavily lacked in when it comes to the canon lore, they were too tied to Team 7.  Which I totally understand that Team 7 was a big focus point in Naruto, but let's be real.  Naruto and Sakura really needed to grow and move past their bonds with Sasuke and see the world for what it truly was.   

 

It's like real life, you start off thinking as a adolescent, but over time you mature and become wiser, and better. That is the one thing I truly feel Naruto and Sakura really needed, and that would've made them even more accepting.  However, there in lies the problem with not only just Naruto and Sakura, but for the series as a whole. 

 

 

They never really matured at all, and remained very one note about that.  Which is honestly a real shame when you really take a look at what Naruto and Sakura are, and how they could've been so much more than what they were given. 

It sure has been a while, 

 

I am starting join you, Lucky in the LuNami bandwagon.

 

Love to see it! 

 

 

 

I'm glad to see another of my OTPs end happily for the most part.

 

 

 

 

 

YOO WAAIT YATORI BECAME CANON!???  THAT'S BEEN MY OTP SINCE READING THE MANGA IN 2014!! 

This was originally conceived as a one shot  that I've had in the back of my mind for a very very long time, but then as I began typing again it made me realize that there was so much more  to tell here. 

 

 

 

 

 

Synopsis: The world is recovering from the devastation of The Fourth Great Ninja War, and Naruto enters a new phase in his life with new challenges ahead as he is accompanied by his teammate Sakura Haruno, and together a they grow and become even more in-sync as team.. Perhaps even on a deeper understanding beyond friendship.

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 1 -  Next to You! : https://www.fanficti...oms-in-the-Wind

Off by a day. but  just wanna everyone a great and beautiful start to this amazing and wonderful new year! 

One significant change I would personally make for a live action Naruto series is make Tsunade the inspiration for Sakura in wanting to be a kunoichi, and maybe this could be something that is talked about amongst the girls.... Like a passing conversation from Ino to Sakura and those tales gives her the motivation...

 

 

The reason she would want to be a kunoichi most of all is to help those in need, and the leave the romance aspect to a high minimal focus. 

 

 

 

That would be me though.   

Youre welcome HalfDemon I use my powers for good and now to erase NH/SS from history.

No Chi I wont Ill do something more wholesome a NaruSaku art.

 

I like it! 

AHHHHHHHHHHHH MY EYES! Why Chi why?!

It was the wish of HalfDemonInuyasha. 😢


But unfortunately first evil since you responded now you have to share an NH/SS pic or gif per the previous rule! 😅

I have done it! I have summoned the ultimate BS!

 

 

Yes you have, and now......

 

 

 

The next person to respond to this comment will be forced to share another SS or NH image or gif!  

 

 

"ABSOLUTELY NONNEGOTIABLE!" 

Kirisuna is so popular that it became DLC it an entirely separate series (Tales of Arise). Nobody but the most ardent Naruto fanboys gives a crap about Sasuke and Sakura (which is why the SS manga failed miserably).

 

 

The beautiful thing I love about Kirisuna is that that they didn't take the story waiting to become a couple... it happened during the very first arc of the series, and what's beautiful is seeing how Reki Kawahara (at least Post - Fairy Dance arc) focused on how their lives are after becoming a couple and its something  wish many other writers would do! 

 

 

Naruto fanboys are just too stuck in sand ignoring what writers do to execute a beautiful love story sub plot.

And I'm sorry, but there's no way that poll can ever taken seriously.  NaruHina and SasuSaku ranking higher than Twiyor and Kirisuna is an absolute joke.  Especially when even the series itself has taken cracks at NaruHina by pointing that Hinata is an incompetent mother by having Naruto insult her for abandoning their kids, to Toneri straight-out saying to Boruto that Hinata was a consolation prize for his father. 

 

 

Higher than Kirisuna??? What!! 

 

That's definitely a joke! 

....that's it? Could've been so much worse. =\

 

Ahem...I SUMMON THEE! XD

 

 

Damn...... Welll you asked for it!  you can thank my cousin for finding it... Gif Edition    

 

 

You've doomed us all 

 

 

Engaging cringe mode... God bless all 

 

Next person that comments will then summon forth a NH / SS fan art! 🤭

Been a while since I was last here, but I wanted to wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving! 

 

the NaLu development.

Oh like the journey map Ive been making with all the moments. Im still working on it, but working on it in waves since I know its gonna be a lot of stuff to work with.

@LuckyChi what happened to the One Piece stuff?

 

What do you mean? 

Intresting surprised no ones talking AOT as theyre finally in the final season of the anime approaching the big climax

 

 

I got around to tackling a livestream discussion on the finale earlier today, and wow it was just something else: 

 

 

https://youtube.com/live/3OgLI1CSDm0

C'mon, Boichi, Riichiro - Stop teasing us about Senku and Kohaku and just let them hook up already.

Thats a pairing Ive been waiting to see become canon for a long time!

 

 

 

JeanKasa  - Attack on Titan 

 

 

 

 

I never really talked about it a whole lot whenever the manga was ongoing back in 2013, but looking at the final season and letting my thoughts marinate on it... I liked the idea of Jean and Mikasa becoming a couple in Attack on Titan, and honestly I'm happy that she found happiness with a guy who cares about her! 

The only thing people care about these days, 🙄

Anybody still keeping up to date with the manga?

Miuras life long best friend Koji Mori is the one whose taking the helm of the series because he is the only one who truly knows thx direction of where Kentaro Miura was gonna take the series and how the story as a whole was going to end.

Ive been keeping up with the manga since it returned and I think Koji Mori has done a great job with it thus far!

The problem with kishimoto trying to base his family life on naruto is that naruto is a character that can be in a 1000 places at once so he has no exuse not to spend time with his kids and instead makes him look like a horrible father that doesn't want to spend time with his kids

Thanks for repeating something weve all heard for the 1,000,000,000th time over these last 9 years.
