I legit wanna kick Kishi in the balls, and I own Steel Toed Boots.

 

GOOO MAN!!! NO ONE WILL STOP YOU

[Elicit]

Can someone help me prep for NH? Like... how can I accept it and at least be a good sport?

It will be hard... the mindless gloating over the kitten writing will be too much to bare.

[TacticalFox88]

I can't even read Naruto fan fiction.

 

Just...hollow. 

[NaruSakuishere]

I wont read it. i rather not see Naruto get rejected. I'm already hurt enough.

[FullmetalNinja25]

I refuse to be a good sport about this, not with the scumbags that make up the NH and SS fandoms gloating like the pieces of kitten they are.

[applesauceful]

 

So I wasn't the only one that liked the idea of Natsu/Erza? Though if i'm honest my favourite pairing for Erza is Naruto, but that's a crossover we'd never see.

 

Glad I'm not the only one :)

[narusaku1408]

Nobody will buy your tickets Kishi.

 

AGREED!!!!

[lupina]

The worst part about Sasuke and Sakura ending up together is its basically an abusive relationship.

 

Imagine their first night together ...   I think Sakura got some big Chidori stabbs and had to go to hospital next day ... because, ya know? Love is = stabbing and hiding behind trees

Yeah I mean, who knows? Maybe they got it because their threats finally got to Kishi

[Dynared]

I won't support it any more. Just an asspull.

I don't even know how to accept it

[rikakim94]

You know, I take that back. Fan-fiction is far better written than this crap.

 

Well i always take tricksie and bakenekos fanfiction anyway.

I'll simply believe in MY Naruto and MY Sakura. Whatever those things in the epilogue are, I don't concider them real. For me they are nothing more than a fanfiction Kishi made true. 
I'll continue to ship NaruSaku. And nobody can tell me otherwise. They are fictional after all. 

[elmagio]

So yeah, I've never posted before, as you may notice.

But though NaruSaku won't be cannon (all hope is lost, quite clearly), I just want to say that at this point, I don't really care. Props to SS and NH fans, great for them.

But what brought me to the pairing between the blonde and the rose in the first place, all those extremely long years ago, had nothing to do with cannon or non-cannon. It was a matter of "Who SHOULD they be with?". If someone read through the 692 first chapters of this tale with no spoilers about the last 8, no gathering of opinions from the internet or any other mean, nothing of the sort, just pure unalduterated and objective reading of the manga, they would come out saying NS makes the most sense, that it was probably gonna happen, I have no doubts about it.

 

When this forum was founded 10 years ago, there was no guarantee of NS being cannon. Most of the hints hadn't even been dropped yet, if my memory doesn't fail me, and it was so far from the end that it was almost wishful thinking.
Did that matter? Nope. Those who came here ten years ago didn't care and still rooted for the one pairing that makes sense in this mess of a Shonen. And whatever Kishi does doesn't take anything away from the pairing.

My second favorite pairing (of those including Naruto) in the manga is NaruIno, and it never stood a chance in hell. But I like it because I think the two are compatible and stuff like that.
Well no characters in the manga are more compatible than Naruto and Sakura (OK, maybe ShikaTem), they ARE meant to be, whatever the hell Kishimoto says.
What NaruSaku had that NaruIno didn't is a shot (the best one) at becoming cannon, and for that reason it's disappointing that it won't end that way, but at the same time we shouldn't care.

NS was, is and will forever be the one Naruto pairing that was compatible with both character's development, whose 2 characters were not only compatible (Hinata and Naruto just DON'T make sense, she's the exact kind of girl that shouldn't be with a guy like Naruto !) but also completed each other (Heaven and Earth forevah) and that was hinted throughout the whole manga.

The messages we can take out of Naruto the manga's romance with that ending are:

 

From Sasuke's point of view: Yeah, just keep being a kittening arse towards that girl, not only will she keep caring for you but she'll also open her legs as wide as she can as soon as you give her the order.
 

From Sakura's: You're a strong willed girl? Your entire life has been directed towards becoming independent, stronger and to protect those you love? You've spent the last few years of your life trying to do everything possible to be closer to that guy who was always there for you?
Well throw all that useless stuff away, that guy you had a crush when you were a kid said something nice to you. Why be a great ninja that can keep up with her teammates like you always wanted, when you can go back to watching their backs while taking care of the kids of said crush? And do that with a big smile on your face, because since when are women supposed to keep up with guys anyways, amirite?

 

From Naruto's: You were there for her. You protected her yet were always proud of her accomplishments. You did everything you could to make her fall for you without forcing anything on her. You never gave up on her. You kept your promise to her. You loved her unconditionnally. She seemed to reciprocate those feelings towards you. Most people seemed to think you were/should be together, including your parents.
Well you dun goofed ! She'll still date the douche, and now you are in a relationship with that girl you barely interacted with and who you're pretty sure has been stalking you since you were kids. BUT WAIT ! You'd completely forgotten you had met her in some place with snow at some point. That changes everything, and it's totally the happy ending a good guy/the hero deserves. Now step down from that chair and away from that rope please.

 

I'd say something about Hinata, but since her character is basically about loving Naruto, it actually makes sense for her. Just not for any other character involved.

 

Something tells me that's the messages you should get from ANY romance ever. But whatever, Kishi.

May have seemed like an angry rant, may kinda have been one, but I really am OK with this. I'll just try to enjoy the ending tomorrow for everything that's not about relationships in it, and then I'll never look back on it, simply because there are thousands of better ending to Naruto's story in the form of Fanfictions.
Some (most) with NaruSaku, but I've read SasuSaku and even NaruHina fics that actually effing made sense. Kishimoto simply couldn't make sense.

The only thing that actually makes me angry is the treatment that Sakura has been through, this whole redemption she went through in Shippuden made worthless by the writer for no apparent reason. If you wanted her to be a useless character, why portray her as the badass she's been in hundreds of chapters? If you wanted her to just be another fangirl, why would you make her ponder on her feelings for years?
I just can't accept the fact that a character as amazing as Sakura has in the end been built up to nothingness. She basically went from Kage level to Hinata level in the last straight of the story.

On that note I'll go back to re-(re-re-re-)reading myself some Digifruit.

Who hates Sakura now?
