    I wanted Narusaku to happen and thought it was the most natural and had the most development but could have been o.k. with it not happening if it was done right. I don't particularly like Naruhina but can see its merits with Hinata always loving him and Naruto being nice to her. It is not really all that hard to think given time together Naruto could eventually fall for her. The way it had to all be done in a movie and be so over the top with it was unnecessary but whatever. No relationship needs to happen and a person's love doesn't have to be returned. Also even great realtionships where both people really love each other don't always work out for whatever reason. Naruto and Sakura did not have to be in a romantic relationship. They had a strong bond and I do feel they both loved each other even if it did not turn out to be romantic.

    My biggest problem is that Sasusaku happened. While no relationship needs to happen some relationships most certainly should not happen given the course of a series and Sasusaku is one of them. He made her suffer so much throughout the series and she meant so little to him for so long and Sakura simply wasn't that important to him and they had no real chemistry. Also the ending made no sense since he left again and isn't even back by the time NH are married so how did they get together? Sasuke is doing what I always thought he would do which is wander the world. So why also pair him with Sakura. The answer is probably Kishi initially didn't want Sasusaku but  simply wanted Sasuke to have a kid when he decided to make the next series and because of Sasuksaku's popularity simply paired them up. 

    Now if Narusaku didn't end a much better ending would have been to simply have Sakura admit she cares equally for both of them and loves both of them like a family. She could still care for Sasuke and not discard the bond without making herself look pathetic wanting to romantically be with him. They could then truly be a happy team again without having romance hang over there heads. An added bonus would be if at the end of 699 she could have made the new arms instead of Tsunade and given one to both Sasuke and Naruto. That way a part of her would always be with both of them and then they could go their separate ways with Sasuke going on his journey but always care for each other in their hearts. This would have made them all look better and then NH could happen and Sakura could either remain single or end up with someone like Lee or Sai and it would be much better than what happened.

There will be a new many episode filler arc starting January ironically one episode before the cpr scene pushing that episode back indefinitely. Most fillers are awful but this one will show how all the rookies became chunin's during the timeskip. I know it is out of place and many are disappointed about the ending but how they all became chunnins has always been a question on my mind. Also even though people are here about how things turned out for Sakura this is the period she showed by far her most growth mentally and physically in the series to come out kick ass at the beginning of shippuden and not much is shown of it. Maybe we can get more into her bond with her master Tsunade and maybe her friendship with Ino. With Sasuke and Naruto not around the negative taste of romance should not be around. The only problem is Hinata will be here too but I would be surprised if Sakura did not have the largest role of the rookies here
