Saw the repeat today... Oh. My. GOD!!!!

 

Liking this series! Now I got this and Sleepy Hollow to watch!!!

I rather have Sakura fight Sasuke FIRST and then Naruto shows up and he fights Sasuke while Sakura backs away and become observer.

 

(Reason I say this is because Sasuke needs stop being god-tier when he fights. Naruto needs the advantage to show him who's boss in their fight. Plus it will be reminiscent to the Sannin fight).

 

We'll need Jerry Springer to determine who the baby daddy is.

 

You mean Maury.

And no one mentions poor Yamato is still missing...

 

I'm starting to think Kishi was planning to kill Yamato off anyways with that Zetsu tree. Anko, on the other hand...

Can you elaborate why it doesnt fit in?
For me the tree was okay but it's not horrible only if you think that a guy that came from nowhere and sealed the juubi on himself is acceptable?

We have next to nothing of info about what happened on the past, the only thing that annoyed me on the entire manga were the uchihas the rest was okay but for me what is getting at is that since the begining of part 2 Naruto was hinted that he would save the world and it's kinda obvious that he will do this because he's the sucessor of the sage of six path or perhaps his reincarnation, due to Kurama's words.

The whole story was leading to Naruto being the next sage of the six paths and even parallels and marking that he has, i fail to see why the "tree god life" is bad writing.

 

I think that many people here don't like this reveal is because of the following: 1) they expected the Juubi as an actual monster based on animals like the 9 Bijus, although, it wouldn't work since the previous chapters revealed it as plant-based.

 

2) The mythological history that was referenced from other religions/mythology. Uh... all other media had their share. I don't see the reason why Naruto doesn't need it, despite the fact mostly all of it were used for the Uchihas since day one. 

 

I don't know why many of you hate this reveal. Would you rather prefer this: if the background was the Sage of Six Path suddenly came to their world via descending from the heavens and preaching ala Jesus on shinobi/chakra/etc.? <---- That idea will be a HELL NO comment from me, because that will be very silly and out of place.

So the Six Path is from another clan altogether. It begs the question what did the beasts see in Naruto. How can he be the new six path? I think we will get more on this soon. The Juubi and all.

 

Well, basically Six Paths and Mama Kaguya are another clan/bloodline. When he had kids, well, you get the idea. I wasn't even kin of the Six Paths having last name Senju/Uzumaki/Uchiha/w.e. because it felt unoriginal to begin with. I mean seriously, everyone who is descendents isn't going to have the same clan/bloodline forever as time went forward.

Welcome back to the main covers, Sakura! Seriously long overdue!

I'm going to say this KH will be the best of the best! If other Disney and FF characters all join in together during the battles, it will be EPIC!

Here's an idea, what if this show does the honor of bringing back obscure video game characters from the 90's such as Fang, Bean, Bark, Ray and Mighty? 

 

Before they come back on air, they need to come back in the games first.

That made me think: I guess I heard/read somewhere that H&E has an 18+ subforum, is that true?

 

 

It doenst exist is just a legend like fingerbox or A.L.I.C.I.A

 

Or is it?   

To be a great woman includes compasion and wisdom. Not hitting people. Not adhering to your own path for your own benefit.

 

If this series had any logic to it, or if you were able to admit to her flaws, Sakura would be held to account on all fronts.

 

She shafted her best friend Ino, all so she could chase after Sasuke. Now people say that she did this to grow out of Ino's shadow, but are you honestly telling me there was no other alternative? But instead she just abandons her friend...the complete antithesis of everything Naruto stands for.

 

She offered to join Sasuke in abandoning the village. She didn't give any thought to her friends, or the fact that Sasuke would be going to join a traitor who had just initiated a war that threatened the very lives of everyone in the village including her 'friends and comrades'. That she might eventually be called on to fight against those very people in order to stay with Sasuke never even bothered her in the least.

 

Her 'confession' was from self-interest. She may have been trying to save Naruto, but she also failed to understand him (a common thread throughout the series) and understand that it wasn't about 'the promise' on her part anymore, but that it was Naruto's goal to bring him back for his own reasons. It's no wonder why all those other's present look at her as if they'd rather not be anywhere near her.

 

When they leave the 'confession' site, she uses her comrades to track Sasuke...and then knocks them out and leaves them vulnerable. She knows that Sasuke has joined Akatsuki, and yet she still goes ahead and leaves them unconscious and vulnerable in an unfamiliar territory in an area where a known Akatsuki member is and that there may be others nearby for all she knows. All to further serve her own selfish goals with no regard for others.

 

People use RTN to justify things because it's Kishimoto behind the wheel. But then let's not forget that Sakura uses it to fulfil her own selfish desires to live free from what she sees as her overbearing parents. And she barely gives a thought to Naruto. One of her first actions when they get back to the village in that world is to squeal 'Sasuke-kun' and begin fangirling over him. She doesn't even give Naruto a second thought.

 

As for the latest chapter, it's not just because she says 'Sasuke-kun'. It's because there's a reason to suspect that she is blushing, and secondly that both Naruto and Sasuke are performing techniques and yet the first one she focuses on is Sasuke. And completely ignores Naruto. Now surely if they've both rushed in to that situation and Sakura cares about Naruto, the first concern in her head should be about Naruto. But it isn't. She focuses completely on Sasuke. Just like she has pretty much the entire series.

 

As to why I'm posting on here. It's because when I first started on here, I would have been happy no matter what the outcome in relationships with Sakura and Naruto would have been. That and I was promised a bash-free environment...which lasted all of about 7 posts before someone opened up on Ino...and nothing was done about it.

 

Over time, I've gradually just come to realise that Sakura is just a badly done character. She has very few redeeming features, and at all the key points where Kishimoto could have redeemed her flaws...they were missed badly.

 

And to Shadow Wolf: "-The simple fact that she is a normal girl and that she has accomplished this much is more than enough proof to conclude that she is more powerful than Hinata. And if you say that she is a doormat... then I wonder what does that say about Hinata. Keep in mind that you were the one who made this comment."

 

Originally, you could have made that argument. But unlike Sakura, Hinata evolved in that manner. Or did you miss where Naruto was wallowing in self-pity and Hinata slapped him and then brought him out of his funk? That she stood up to him in a positive way? Or that Hinata was the first to have a deeper insight into Naruto's character (chapter 96), whereas Sakura never has that about Sasuke, her 'love-interest'. And I say that because Sasuke has always been her focus, re: the promise. And now that he's back in the picture and temporarily on the good side, he's her focus again. She's back to her old ways.

 

Seriously, you need to stop viewing Sakura as a real-life person because she isn't.

 

First off, on the hitting people, there are other characters, especially females, that does this act in other series for the sake of COMEDY! You do realize that this series is not only action but also comedy as its main genres? You think everytime Sakura beats up Naruto, it is consider as domestic violence?! Afraid not. This happens not only in animes/mangas but also western media as well. That mindset of "hitting people is SO serious" needs to go.

 

On the flaws: Ino did it too, you want to know why? They were 12/13 year olds! Seriously, girls at that age are into boys that are cute, cool, and handsome (or should I say, "pretty boy"). Sad to say, but it is true in real life.

 

Her confession towards Sasuke: She DID thought about her friends (especially Naruto and Kakashi, you know, her teammate and sensei) as she was trying to persuade Sasuke to stay, instead of walking towards his path of vengeance by going to Orochimaru. She said all of that because of, what's the word? Desperation. Did you ignore the panel of her and the team when she was speaking at the time?

 

Now the confession towards Naruto: Ah yes, the one that suppose to bring drama (another important genre this series has). As someone else's said: it was suppose to lift Naruto's burdens. Problem is that you're applying Naruto's quote as a major issue, while ignoring the fact that he did chew on his own words, when Sai and, less to extent, Gaara explained the details.

 

Used her comrades? OMG, She saved them from her burden. You do realized at the time Sasuke has a higher chance of killing all of them, if Sakura hadn't used the sleep gas? Imagine this, I hardly doubt the combined focus of Kiba, Lee and Sai will give Sasuke trouble. Not to mention the fact that the setup was for the original Team 7 reunion. And how could a Akatsuki member would start something of attacking enemies, especially if they were handicapped at the moment?  This series isn't that dark for that kind of scene.

 

RTN: My god, stop. Sakura DID NOT squeal Sasuke's name all of the time. You need to rewatch the movie or shall I explain the details:

 

First off: her mother, Mebuki, initially embarassed her outloud in front of her friends because she, Sakura, was acting like a true tomboy: doesn't cook, doesn't clean, do laundry, and is very messy. Que in anger and add in normal teenage lifestyle of kids disobeying their parents. 

 

Sakura complained about her parents towards Naruto before Madara/Tobi came in since she is living in a "strict family life". During her complaining, she wished she had less strict parents. She had mentioned this,  "Sasuke could understand her", because he did had parents alive before, remember? 

 

Next, in the AU! world: first off, Sakura was shocked along with Naruto, seeing Sasuke for the first time in the village. This gave Sasuke the impression that they looked like they had seen a ghost.

 

Next day, in AU! world: obviously, this is the scene you should complain about because its the one that Sasuke gives her the rose. What you have fail to look is that during the movie when she was at home, the rose starts to wilt and then died.

 

When Sakura went out for a walk, she saw Sasuke but with a bunch of girls, whom were fangirls. That didn't work well for Sakura...

 

But while this was going on in the AU! world, guess who was with her all throughout the movie? Naruto. I don't know how the hell you keep on saying she doesn't give Naruto a second thought when she was with him all the freaking time in the movie, expressing her thoughts and feelings for him, especially the fact his parents are alive and well.

 

This chapter: You basically fail, because many of the members pointed out these important creditials:

 

1) There is NO Blush on Sakura, whatsoever on the panel. That was dirt. Dirt and smuges were all over her because they in the middle of the battlefield...

2) Sasuke got there first, obviously. That's why she said his name.

3) She DID NOT ignored Naruto. Her quotes is a form a teasing. She's basically saying, "Are you jealous of me saying Sasuke's name because he got here first? Baby, stop focusing on little things or I'll take the Hokage seat both out of your noses!" Panel proof: look at her eyes' direction, guess who she's speaking to, and it ain't Sasuke!

4) Again, suffixes are a common norm. Reread the chapter 310/11. Sai talked about this in detail. Try see the difference why Sakura never add "-kun" for Naruto.

 

Also this apply to 4 as well, why on earth you're worrying Sakura calling Sasuke, "Sasuke-kun" all the time? Guess who doing the same toward Naruto everytime she saw him or be near him? And what about Lee because he's also in this category?

 

Flaws: I'm guessing you like characters whom are consider "perfect". Guess what? ALL of the characters have flaws, and that's include Hinata. Say all you want, but obviously this girl has the worst development than Sakura that many fans, including you, seem to ignore while praising Hinata like she's a goddess. Supposed to be a stronger ninja by improving and believing herself, since she's a heir to the most prestigous clans of Konoha? She finally got to that point, I admit. However, she's consider pairing foddler (many NH fans sees this), satelite character (all around and about Naruto), and plot device (her confession and supposed one-hit wonder towards Pain).  Has better skills? Not really and certain not even close in recent chapters. Neji has had better combat skills than her and Sakura beaten her in this department and this is going through the databooks. Also, deeper insight? Really? Hinata had little information about Naruto's character compare to *ahem* the following people: Sakura, Kakashi, Iruka, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Sai, and Shikamaru. Might as well add Sasuke and Gaara on the list.

 

Also, 615, that "NH" moment, it was also Kurama who did the talking as well. Many forgot or should I say ignore because you're too glued on this girl who has nothing to do with the main plot.

 

So basically, Sakura IS NOT and WILL NOT be the same as her beginning self back in Part 1. This needs to stop, really. The bashing on her is all over the place. Many of you are taking this way too seriously. And its unhealthy.

It's incredible how more than half of the posts in this topic are about NH and SS fans. I tought this site was about NS but I see more SS and NH talk than anything else. There are some people like me that simply don't care about their opinions and don't obsess over it so it's really tiresome to come here and all I see is what NH and SS are thinking about. Why don't you guys open a topic about NH and SS fans opinion so that people like me who simply enjoys reading posts about the new chapter or NaruSaku don't have to read trough all of that. Please it has become unbereable at this point.

 

Agree.

 

ALL of you: That's enough talking about NH/SS! Discussing about what the rival pairings feelings will not only bring negativity but also brings bashing. We're supposed to be talking about the chapter and Sakura's recent abilities, instead most of you are bringing up what the NH/SS fans are thinking... and most of us are getting tired about it.

 

Anyone mentioning about any NH/SS related post will be in trouble.

SAKURA-CHAN!!!~~~~

 

Badass to the MAX!! So freaking proud of you (THANK GOD! You delievered it, Kishi!)

 

C'mon, people, really? Y'all need to get the negativity off. Worrying about Sakura saying Sasuke's name first, especially at the last page... most of y'all are continuing to feed the drama llamas without knowing it because you can't have things YOUR way or feeling like NS is gonna get trolled because this "sudden SS name calling"... have any of you forgotten that chapter with Sai (Seriously, WHERE IS HE?!!!)  talking about the formal suffixes?

 

Just enjoy the chapter.

I highly doubt they will take out our NaruSaku-hug scene because its very important (its like HUGE-HUGE with the whole village celebrate with him)

However, I believe that unlike NaruSaku, SasuKarin doesn't have what it takes to have those intimate moments and that's why the scenes were not there because the writers probably feel that Sasuke and Karin should have one-sided moments... I'm sorry to ruin your SasuKarin bubble, catsi

Well judging from watching it, it's definitely not related to the Naruto series at all. It's more based on the Gallent Jiraiya book. And it looks interesting. I have to watch more of it. (Though I want English subtitles so I can know what the hell they are saying)
