Anyone get the feeling that that was kishi taking a stab at NaruHina fans for all the hate mail against sakura?

I don't care what everyone else thinks, but i'd say this is the biggest narusaku booster we've ever had.

Man, I dont cry for things like these, but this one just broke me. It was useless trying to fight back tears. This was epic, now Minato and Kushina can finally rest in peace. As for Naruto, I believe this gave him a new drive to become even greater.

[harry4e]

Wow....well it's official Kushina is by far the best female charactor Kishi has ever written, no doubt if she'd survived she'd have given Naruto enough advice to woo Sakura before they even graduated from the academy.

So no wierd girls for Naruto poor Hinata all this time we thought he didn't notice her because he was dense, turns out he was just being a good son and following his mothers advice....lol Looks like he took her advice to heart, even less than a day old...well except the listening to the academy teacher part, well he did only after he graduated...lol

Next week we will see one serious badarse Naruto, poor Kisame is going to get a serious arsekicking.

<< Bawling my eyes out! can you feel the love!? I love that last frame of naruto, one word comes to mind to describe his face: absolution.

[Quinny52]

I don't usually cry over emotional scenes like this, but I felt my eyes starting to water.

Seems Momma knows best afterall, although the warning about Jiraiya was a bit of a lost cause..

All in all, I think this chapter was worth the wait. Thank you, Minato & Kushina. R.I.P. (bows head)

[narukunsakuchan]

I just find it an awesome moment altogether one of the most heartwrenching. I find it more interesting that other than the fight with itachi, that when it is about sasuke I am bored of the manga. But when chapters are about naruto like this, I get soo sucked into it.

AWESOME CHAPTER NOW BRING ON KYUUBI NARUTO VERSION 3.0

[pharix]

so yeah, Kushina's badass. that claw grabbing thing reminded me of Sakura vs Sasori :O

[Insurrection]

Awesome, haven't seen this many members on one thread in a while.

Why not this is a pretty big deal! Something so heartwrenching and kyuubi stags them before Kushina finally agrees, then that talk and baby Naruto smiling, why'd she leave so soon!?! She's one of the best characters!

She could've been more obvious toward you know what!

Too late.. I cried... Wow... Thatwas absolutely the most amazing chapter by far... And damn- narusaku ftw... Just... Wow... TT^TT

[Eric]

Wow this chapter is awesome and it makes me sad too that naruto's parents give up their lives to keep naruto alive, man this is made me cry. And NaruSaku got a BIG win from Kushina lol

[sardns]

Kushina noooooooo!! Why did she have to leave?! We'll miss you!

[soot-r]

so yeah, Kushina's badass. that claw grabbing thing reminded me of Sakura vs Sasori :O

this got me thinking, maybe we aren't going to see Kushina in action.

[ShippudenGirl]

Yeah, she left so suddenly... But wow, that was so sad! At least we know get to see Naruto control Kyûbi! (And I actually think Guy is gonna be the one to fight Kisame)

[Insurrection]

Okay I was confused so I looked this up. Because onemanga hasn't shutdown yet for being a zombie.

Page Eight, Chapter 39

Who Naruto thinks is a Weirdo

Panel 3, Naruto's viewpoint.

Thank you, Insurrection. My new favorite word is weirdo.

[Kenny-kun]

So I decided to cruise the onemanga forums to see the general consensus on this chapter when it came to the NaruSaku hint. And boy do people come out of the woodwork.

A couple of people have told me that Naruto hasn't listened to ANY of the advice Kushina has given him in this chapter. Others are saying I'm delusional for making comparisons between Sakura and Kushina as they are hardly alike. Another said that Hinata is more similar to Kushina than Sakura is.

I think I liked this post the best:

And saying Sakura is like Kushina is pretty damn funny.
Kushina was a hot-head who spoke without thinking, sucked at ninjutsu and beat anyone who insulted her to near death.
Sakura is someone who never spoke without thinking (hence inner-sakura), was shown to have exceptional chakra control and a fast learner and always hid behind Ino as a child and now hides behind Naruto (to be more precise, Naruto is the only person she ever hits).

The only thing they have in common is anger issues, aside from that they are absolutely nothing alike, hell Tsunade and Ino are a lot more like Kushina.

Lets also add the "not weird one" part, which one is the weird one
Hinata, who saw what Naruto truly was inside and idolizes him and wants to be like him or Sakura, who even after all these years and even 2 attempts at her life still loves Sasuke (she flatout stated Naruto was going to reunite the team after the fight and thanked him)

In the end this was still the ramblings of his dying mother, who even went as far as to state she didn't know what to say before saying it.

Good stuff.

WINNNN!!!!

Don't pick a weird one, try to find someone like your mother xD

He followed most of the things that his mother wished upon him.

xept fussy eating...too much Ramen xD oh and being careful with Jiraiya...listening to his teachers was another one, and he did listen to Iruka, and Kakashi, as well as Jiraiya. Most of the skills he got, he got them from remembering what his teachers taught him.

Wow. I think the actual chapter was much more touching than I had anticipated. Especially them fending off the Kyuubi to save Naruto. Just imagine how powerful the Kyuubi would have been at full strength.

There has always been talk of the "evil" part of the Kyuubi being sealed apart from Naruto, and the good half in Naruto. But in the sealing scene, there isn't any mention of it from Minato. Leads me to wonder if there really is a major difference between the two halves. Especially since the half that's in Naruto isn't really all rainbows and butterflies.

It was not "Evil" chakra, it was the Yin half. Yin and Yang are not good and evil, they are simply opposites. I'll keep repeating this until I die if I have to!

Anyone get the feeling that that was kishi taking a stab at NaruHina fans for all the hate mail against sakura?

Sounds like it. There's no reason to use that particular wording otherwise.

Still hate Minato. He sounded like an idiot in this chapter. "I'm going to kill myself because I'd never be as good a parent as you." What type of insane troll logic is that?!

Kushina, on the other hand, is one of my absolutely favorite manga mommies ever. You can tell that she would have been a fantastic mom, and a loving one as well. The fact that, from her own description, she's exactly like Naruto makes me incredibly happy.

Naruto's an adorable puppy on that last page, though. The fact that he can let all of that go, and still be happy about it, just shows why he's the main character. He forgives all of that, and manages to smile through everything. Gah, I just wanna hug him.

[ShippudenGirl]

Yeah- Minato did sound a bit... Suicidal?

@Kenny-kun

FAIL! XD
