Sakura's necklace is an engagement ring

[Iwantbuns]

I may get a warning for this but I must say this.... I wish Neji survived and Hinata died. There I said it.

 

Sounds like what an anti-Sakura fan would say about Sakura 

[六道仙人]

Sakura is apparently the second character in the cast list. Right now she seems to be kept in the shadows for some reasons. 

 

she is sasuke's waifu.

[BecauseYouLetRinDie]

Me and Serenity Namikaze agree with you, lady GT. This all feels like Naruto turned from a Shonen manga similar to Dragonball Z to a really bad Shojo fanfiction.

I agree with this so hard. The way they are advertising this movie makes it feel that way.

They don't want to spoil her role in the film, which could very well have to do with the juicier parts of the plot (i.e. the romance), and I don't mean this to imply that she's pairing fodder; she's definitely more than that in my eyes, but I digress. She must be really important to the plot, but discussing her too much will ruin the plot, especially given that the manga has yet to end. 

 

Besides, we still don't have the story behind her necklace, which might have some importance, while we have the tease of her growing beauty and Naruto's reaction to it.

Difference is that Hinata is not a main character.(in the manga at least)

[xxRomanceGirlxx]

I just saw the summary about more Hinata wank in the series. And I'm very, very annoyed. Prepare for LAP.

 

The "love" aspect apparently has a lot about Hinata's feelings in this. I was somewhat tolerant at this at first but when I saw to just what extent ... Why? Of all things, why are we getting the last Naruto movie about Hinata's regrets and whining about how she's not closer to Naruto? It's been three freakin' years. The girl should've moved on with her life after the IT was released or at least stop openly pining after him such as this.

 

All his Hinata and "NH" attention feels so contrived. Hinata gives him a scarf just because she saw he used to have one with a flashback that was never in the manga. Not the mention Naruto's weird thing with scarves now ... when the kitten did Naruto ever wear scarves until this movie? Why was Hanabi, a character that was nearly nonexistent, kidnapped by a random villain who also for some reason is interested in kidnapping Hinata? All this just feels like an excuse to make Hinata relevant and pretty piss poor ones at that.

 

Whether NH really is meant to be canon from this or for love triangle drama/giving Hinata closure, either way it is coming off painfully forced. There shouldn't be a "love triangle" anymore. I don't see any reason that Hinata couldn't have prepared to move on after the IT. It certainly would've been better for her character development and for the plot of the movie. Why does Kishi insist on destroying what little potential she has for the sake of pairings? Why does he keep shoving her feelings in our faces when it's never amounted anywhere for most of the series and probably even more so in this movie?

 

This emphasis on Hinata's feelings is so unnecessary. I am tired of "Naruto-kunning" and tired of her being like a lovesick teenager for absolutely no good reason. I just want Hinata to develop but at this point even when she does get her closure with Naruto it will still look bad. God, does Kishi realize just how repetitive he makes her?!

 

This overblown focus on Hinata's feelings for Naruto in this movie just makes me sick. When I first heard about love, I expected it to be about the main character finally getting the girl he loves. Instead we get a side character's love seemingly at the front and center over Naruto's.

 

I'm sorry, but I couldn't care less about Hinata's love problems when we have a MC that still needs more focus on his own resolution. And what makes it worse is their making Hinata's love so ridiculously sympathetic. Seriously, just looking at the summary gives me the impression we should root for Hinata to be with Naruto instead of Naruto winning over Sakura because reasons.

 

I thought we're supposed to support Naruto here, not make it look like a side character's feelings are more important. I guess Kishimoto must've renamed the series "Hinata" and I just wasn't informed.

I Agree. This should be about Naruto telling Sakura he loves her.

[luffyq1]

A lot of people like Hinata, thay don't all feel the same way you do about her.

liking her wasn't the point. if they feel so obligated to make her shine, then why not do the same for characters like 10 10 or shino? i think this is just making hinata ship bait as usual.

[SuperChief]

Sakura is apparently the second character in the cast list. Right now she seems to be kept in the shadows for some reasons. 

 

Could mean a number of things.

 

It could mean NaruSaku is already canon but they're not showing that in the trailers because that would spoil the ending of the manga and upset NaruHina fans, thus costing them money. It could also mean the script Kishi wrote actually leans more towards NaruSaku than NaruHina but, like with RTN (which I remind y'all was by far the highest grossing Naruto film), SP have decided to market the film in a way that puts the spotlight on Hinata.

 

The less we see of Sakura, the more positive I am something is going on between her and Naruto. I mean, why else would the narrator for the first trailer indicate Naruto would have some type of reaction to her "increased womanhood"? Whatever the hell that means.

 

Let's be real, from a manga stand point, we've got this in the bag, and I refuse to believe Kishimoto will disregard the manga he has spent 15 years of his life on in favour of a movie.

Exactly. When did Hinata's feelings become more important than Naruto's feelings? What the heck? Kishi has to be on some really high drug lately...

I feel the same way. What I wanna know is what possibly could have compelled Kishi into making a movie centered around Hinata? For 700 chapters, he's completely neglected and ignored her. In fact, she's MIA even as the story is 2 chapters away from its finale. So why the sudden interest now? I'll say this not as an NS fan, but as a rational person, Hinata's "big role" in this movie is illogical. Proof? What subplot in this story has Hinata been a contributing factor in? Exactly. Now, what subplot has Sakura been a contributing factor in? The Poal - a subplot that has lasted for a majority of the series, which also just recently resurfaced. The thing that bothers me the most though is that, it feels like Kishi did this on a whim. To have an under-developed character (Kishi's own fault) bare no weight to the overall story and yet have them magically become the central character in a movie that functions as an epilogue to a major work is bat-kitten insane.

... Plus I don't like Hinata stealing Sakura's thunder. She could never replace Sakura.

[AHK]

To be honest, I kinda find that telling. There's a reason she hasn't been shown, and there's a reason Hinata's been given a lot of shine up front. I think that it's just meant to keep the attention away from what's really happening, as they did with RTN.

[dejavu]

Sakura's necklace is an engagement ring

Sakura bought that necklace on her own with her own money.. lol



How about a movie about the Uzumaki clan? Im better off with that than all this pairing shizz.

[LadyGT]

A movie about Orochimaru would have topped anything.

[alexander]

Man, I hope someone can give an summary to the movie once it goes out. Waiting six months to see how it ends is too much.

[NaruSaku fan in Kentucky]

Or Ramen. Anything but Hinata.
