As an NS shipper, I feel like NH is just this lowly pairing that tries to put itself in between NaruSaku all the time and fails, and when I see all these arguments that try and deny Naruto's feelings for Sakura to cater to Hinata I'm like "Wtf is wrong with you?" Does anyone else feel the same way?

I hear you but even NH is better than SS.

Are you the Elicit94 that argues for NS in HoU in NF?

I am very sad to say this, but because kishi is not letting go off the SS moments even when manga is so much near the end, and also he hasn't given any closure to the feelings of Sakura, the "fake" confession of Sakura(it seemed very very much fake to me, atleast in the love sense), her constantly keeping on thinking about Sasuke and every such thing, I don't think kishi will be able to give a justified and satisfying NS ending(i.e. if he is really thinking to give a/this pairing canon in the end).

I don't know about you guys but the way kishi is doing things about the romantic side of the manga I for sure will not be even a least bit satisfied if I don't get proper closure to Sakura's feelings from Sakura; not other people(kakashi, yamato etc).

Also I think that it might also look that Sakura chose Naruto in the end just because Sasuke did not feel the same way for her.

well, kishi is doing that because he said that he likes to make his readers get confuse

you know, the reason why kishi did a SS moment is just because he wants to maintain the secret of who will end up with who a secret till the moment that he will have to make all clear and finally show us the feelings that sakura have for naruto.

Everybody knows that the feelings that sakura have for naruto arent just friendship, she just cant realize it because she thinks that love was the strange thing that she felt for sasuke, and it was not, sakura just felt attraction for him, and she had not time to understand her feelings because he got away from her.

yeah, sakura will reflect his feelings for naruto and sasuke, and will choose naruto, he was the only one that was always there for her, she will finally notice that what she feel for him is love.

She will not choose naruto just because sasuke didnt feel the same way for her, she never understood what real love was, she started to love the guy that she found attractive, is it love? YES, it is, but not in the proportion of the love that she have for naruto, he was always there for her, and along the part2 we can see all this development between this care between sakura and naruto.

Theres no how a ending with naruto and sakura being together with no explain, everything will be clear, i think that kishi will do like 2 or 3 chapters only to reflect all the feelings that were increasing for naruto, and show how this wonderful relation was built.

theres a lot of people here that can explain why sakura choose naruto better than me, just wait a little and them will appear, im just trying to make you calm down a little :D

Well i thing that Sakura mostly wanted to show that she s not useless like Sasuke said in last chapters. Her feelings right know s 'enigma' because Kakashi thoughts suggest she move on from him but in same way didnt state what s her opinion on Naruto. Kishi know what he do to not solve things.

 

I am very sad to say this, but because kishi is not letting go off the SS moments even when manga is so much near the end, and also he hasn't given any closure to the feelings of Sakura, the "fake" confession of Sakura(it seemed very very much fake to me, atleast in the love sense), her constantly keeping on thinking about Sasuke and every such thing, I don't think kishi will be able to give a justified and satisfying NS ending(i.e. if he is really thinking to give a/this pairing canon in the end).

End game will be when Sakura will open up but we cant expect this when Kaguya s alive because it not place for that.

 

As an NS shipper, I feel like NH is just this lowly pairing that tries to put itself in between NaruSaku all the time and fails, and when I see all these arguments that try and deny Naruto's feelings for Sakura to cater to Hinata I'm like "Wtf is wrong with you?" Does anyone else feel the same way? 

NH ship was never considered for me like pairing because target of Hinata feelings Naruto had always Sakura in mind

*sighs tiredly* Negativity. I hate negativity. -_- Okay, lord287. Here's my thoughts:

 

All these SS "moments" (if you can even call them that) are done for three reasons:

 

1). Drama

2). Conflict/"Ambiguity"

3). Sakura's closure

 

That's all it is. Sasuke was willing to write off Sakura and Kakashi to die if they became a distraction (maybe not out of hate but prioritizing, but it clearly wasn't that hard for him) just a few chapters before. It's stupid to forgot this just out of paranoia or even shipper excitement in the case of SS fans. Sasuke caught Sakura and glanced at Sakura? Big deal. Sasuke looked indifferent and in that glance faint, grudging acknowledgment ("You're not that bad, after all"). That's a good thing. Sakura searched so long for Sasuke's acknowledgment and she finally got it, just like Hinata did with Naruto's thank you and even "You're strong!" in 559.  But it never had to be necessarily romantic in either case. That's what the girls need to realize.

 

You underestimate Sakura though. She's not in utter denial and still thinking to "pursue Sasuke-kun's love" nor is keeping a secret, more mature wish to be with him (which, sidebar--- more than I can say for Hinata). On some level, she already has realized she doesn't need Sasuke's romantic acknowledgment. Sakura did think "Sasuke doesn't care" in 676, but it wasn't her hoping Sasuke would love her. It was hoping he'd care for her as friend, as a human being or even an ally (which isn't particularly out of place either since she just got freaking stabbed). There's a difference between wanting someone to care about you in general and wanting someone to be in love with you. Something half of the fandom fails to comprehend. Anytime Sakura thinks, says, or does anything relating to Sasuke it automatically has to be related to "loving him". :glare:

 

I'm not saying Sakura's entirely evolved. Maybe she does believe she still "loves" Sasuke or at least believes in some romantic attachment (which does NOT mean she's pursuing a relationship). Maybe this should've been axed a long time ago. But why isn't it? Because Kishi wants drama and ambiguity. It keeps refreshing this T7 love triangle when it should've already been shot to death and resolved by the Kage Summit Arc. He doesn't want to make NaruSaku too obvious (which is kinda stupid with 631, but he still plays with pairings so whatever)

 

But, on a realistic level (if we ignore the murder attempts), Sakura needs to interact with Sasuke to get her closure. She needs to feel the difference between how she is with Sasuke now than when he left and she needs to look at him more maturely, something Sakura never did in Part 1 and never really got the chance to in most of Part 2 until now. Yeah, we're probably gonna get more SS "moments" and it's going to be irritating as hell, but it's something we need to deal with until it's over.  Her relationship with Naruto and Sakura's own maturity and change still stands. We can complain, but it won't change it. We have to wade through the crap from the manga and the SS fandom until we get the gold of NaruSaku. Just remember the reward and it's worth it.

 

Through Sakura's actions, not so much her thoughts yet, it's quite clear her feelings for Sasuke changed. Kakashi may have been a mouthpiece, but we just need to look at Sakura to know that. Sakura's consciously chose Sasuke dying in favor of protecting Naruto and easing his burden in the Kage Summit Arc, she supported Naruto being Hokage over Sasuke (663), she searched for Naruto's acknowledgment instead of Sasuke's (631), she looked absolutely devastated of Naruto possibly agreeing with Sasuke they were useless in the situation (680), she didn't even react to Sasuke being missing (684), and then Sakura's main resolve to keep going to find Sasuke was to help Naruto (nothing like "We have to save Sasuke-kun!" like Part 1 Sakura would say). How does this, in any way, prove Sakura's "always thinking about Sasuke" and Naruto's a "second choice"? :confused:

 

Maybe Sakura's impression of Sasuke might recover a little bit after last chapter, but why do we need to be paranoid about it? It was bound, fated to happen. Even if Sasuke does another Heel Turn and she loses faith again, it's still going to happen. We need to accept it and not give up just because Sasuke might be good again and Sakura's impression of him gets better. We need to believe in Sakura's growth and that she'll make the right choice. All she needs is Sasuke's friendship. Sakura will realize it with the way things are going. Just give it time and believe in her.

 

IMO, Sakura's journey has always been about change. She was a girl that wasn't good at anything, selfish, had low self-esteem and a terrible perception of love and how to be treated in love. Now she's a girl with impressive power, natural compassion and selflessness towards others, developing a more determined willpower, and finding love with someone who not only treats her well but makes her understand what real love is. Sakura was never meant to be that "girl who will always be in love with Sasuke." It was one of her defining flaws she would grow out of with maturity and the time spent with Naruto.

 

Naruto is not someone she'd only be with because she couldn't have Sasuke. The series has demonstrated too much how much Naruto means to Sakura and even overshadows Sasuke at times. And even if Sakura dared to try that, Naruto will see right through her. He would never let himself be her second choice; he'd rather not be with her at all (469/470).

 

And not only that, but do you honestly expect the main character, who's always dreamed of earning Sakura's love and set goals for himself he eventually accomplishes through determination, to just be reduced to "second choice?" :hm:

Very well said.

 

The best thing about that SS scene is how much platonic it was. This is perhaps the first physical contact she has made with Sasuke without Sasuke being an enemy since part one and she never looked like or much resemble her part 1 fangirl self. SS fans can argue all they like about Sakura being too exhausted too smile and swoon over Sasuke because she is partially naked and he's holding her. 

 

Not just in this manga, in real life, I've seen far more worn out people than her get rejuvenated  by hope and excitement. For her girl like Sakura that has a thing or two for Sasuke, she could have acted like her part one self, but she didn't. 

 

I'm just waiting for kishi to hammer that final nail into the SS coffin.

Three best trolls.

 

1. Sasuke actually say his thanks and apologizes to her and Sakura's response is like *meh*, "I only did it for Naruto!"

 

2. The original Naruto comes in and offers Sakura his sage cloak and wraps it around her as a gentleman to cover up some nudity.

 

3. the most intense. An actual SS attempt kissing (no disguised Naruto) scene that failed because Sasuke's face is subconsciously replaced by Naruto's and she have flashbacks about how naruto has treated her and loves her. Then she cries and instantly regret what she almost did.

 

How will you guys react if one of these three trolls happens in the next chapter?

*sighs tiredly* Negativity. I hate negativity. -_- Okay, lord287. Here's my thoughts:
 
All these SS "moments" (if you can even call them that) are done for three reasons:
 
1). Drama
2). Conflict/"Ambiguity"
3). Sakura's closure
 
That's all it is. Sasuke was willing to write off Sakura and Kakashi to die if they became a distraction (maybe not out of hate but prioritizing, but it clearly wasn't that hard for him) just a few chapters before. It's stupid to forgot this just out of paranoia or even shipper excitement in the case of SS fans. Sasuke caught Sakura and glanced at Sakura? Big deal. Sasuke looked indifferent and in that glance faint, grudging acknowledgment ("You're not that bad, after all"). That's a good thing. Sakura searched so long for Sasuke's acknowledgment and she finally got it, just like Hinata did with Naruto's thank you and even "You're strong!" in 559.  But it never had to be necessarily romantic in either case. That's what the girls need to realize.
 
You underestimate Sakura though. She's not in utter denial and still thinking to "pursue Sasuke-kun's love" nor is keeping a secret, more mature wish to be with him (which, sidebar--- more than I can say for Hinata). On some level, she already has realized she doesn't need Sasuke's romantic acknowledgment. Sakura did think "Sasuke doesn't care" in 676, but it wasn't her hoping Sasuke would love her. It was hoping he'd care for her as friend, as a human being or even an ally (which isn't particularly out of place either since she just got freaking stabbed). There's a difference between wanting someone to care about you in general and wanting someone to be in love with you. Something half of the fandom fails to comprehend. Anytime Sakura thinks, says, or does anything relating to Sasuke it automatically has to be related to "loving him". :glare:
 
I'm not saying Sakura's entirely evolved. Maybe she does believe she still "loves" Sasuke or at least believes in some romantic attachment (which does NOT mean she's pursuing a relationship). Maybe this should've been axed a long time ago. But why isn't it? Because Kishi wants drama and ambiguity. It keeps refreshing this T7 love triangle when it should've already been shot to death and resolved by the Kage Summit Arc. He doesn't want to make NaruSaku too obvious (which is kinda stupid with 631, but he still plays with pairings so whatever)
 
But, on a realistic level (if we ignore the murder attempts), Sakura needs to interact with Sasuke to get her closure. She needs to feel the difference between how she is with Sasuke now than when he left and she needs to look at him more maturely, something Sakura never did in Part 1 and never really got the chance to in most of Part 2 until now. Yeah, we're probably gonna get more SS "moments" and it's going to be irritating as hell, but it's something we need to deal with until it's over.  Her relationship with Naruto and Sakura's own maturity and change still stands. We can complain, but it won't change it. We have to wade through the crap from the manga and the SS fandom until we get the gold of NaruSaku. Just remember the reward and it's worth it.
 
Through Sakura's actions, not so much her thoughts yet, it's quite clear her feelings for Sasuke changed. Kakashi may have been a mouthpiece, but we just need to look at Sakura to know that. Sakura's consciously chose Sasuke dying in favor of protecting Naruto and easing his burden in the Kage Summit Arc, she supported Naruto being Hokage over Sasuke (663), she searched for Naruto's acknowledgment instead of Sasuke's (631), she looked absolutely devastated of Naruto possibly agreeing with Sasuke they were useless in the situation (680), she didn't even react to Sasuke being missing (684), and then Sakura's main resolve to keep going to find Sasuke was to help Naruto (nothing like "We have to save Sasuke-kun!" like Part 1 Sakura would say). How does this, in any way, prove Sakura's "always thinking about Sasuke" and Naruto's a "second choice"? :confused:
 
Maybe Sakura's impression of Sasuke might recover a little bit after last chapter, but why do we need to be paranoid about it? It was bound, fated to happen. Even if Sasuke does another Heel Turn and she loses faith again, it's still going to happen. We need to accept it and not give up just because Sasuke might be good again and Sakura's impression of him gets better. We need to believe in Sakura's growth and that she'll make the right choice. All she needs is Sasuke's friendship. Sakura will realize it with the way things are going. Just give it time and believe in her.
 
IMO, Sakura's journey has always been about change. She was a girl that wasn't good at anything, selfish, had low self-esteem and a terrible perception of love and how to be treated in love. Now she's a girl with impressive power, natural compassion and selflessness towards others, developing a more determined willpower, and finding love with someone who not only treats her well but makes her understand what real love is. Sakura was never meant to be that "girl who will always be in love with Sasuke." It was one of her defining flaws she would grow out of with maturity and the time spent with Naruto.
 
Naruto is not someone she'd only be with because she couldn't have Sasuke. The series has demonstrated too much how much Naruto means to Sakura and even overshadows Sasuke at times. And even if Sakura dared to try that, Naruto will see right through her and refuse to be with her. He would never let himself be her second choice; he'd rather not be with her at all (469/470).
 
And not only that, but do you honestly expect the main character, who's always dreamed of earning Sakura's love and set goals for himself he eventually accomplishes through determination, to just be reduced to "second choice?" :hm:

Well said.

 
Three best trolls.
 
1. Sasuke actually say his tanks and apologizes to her and Sakura's response is like *meh*, "I only did it for Naruto!"
 
2. The original Naruto comes in and affords Sakura his sage cloak and wraps it around her as a gentleman to cover up some nudity.
 
3. the most intense. An actual SS attempt kissing (no disguised Naruto) scene that failed because Sasuke's face is subconsciously replaced by Naruto's and she have flashbacks about how naruto has treated her and loves her. Then she cries and instantly regret what she almost did.
 
How will you guys react if one of these three trolls happens in the next chapter?

Well I tried not to think of those bad things for reasons. *cough*

That said well don't know if those will happen but I would say I'm still wondering why the middle scene happened the way it did about Naruto. It could have been avoided, the topic that is, and make us wonder she's doing it for love or whatever, something ambiguous. But clearly, Kishi did this for a reason. Not to mention he avoided by explaining further what Obito meant, so this guy is one tricky bastard.

lols forgive me for being so irrational, but the way you just phrase this posts sounds like both Sakura and Sasuke are using each other. For one, she's using Sasuke because Naruto needs him and for Sasuke, he finds her now useful. That is why Sakura help rescue Sasuke and Sasuke caught her because he has further use for her :confused:

Huh. I didn't think of that way. I guess the follow-up could help us on what to think realistically. Will there be an explanation? Will there be any talk? Will that reference I said be mentioned again? I don't know but we got a week left to think over.

 you guys look to deep in this. They needed Sasuke to seal but someone need to stalk time with Kaguya so it s obviously that Naruto need to stato  and Sakura go with Obito. Fact that Sasuke caugh her mean she prove him that his statements earlier were wrong. It s have no other meaning unless in new chapter Kishi will continue plot with them

We know. I'm just more bewildered with the middle part with Obito referencing Kakashi's word about Naruto.
