Apparently something that was from the Official Viz Jump which is pretty anti narusaku.

1. They may be few years older now but Sakura still would rather give Naruto a punch than be his girlfriend.

2. "Whatever her reasons, Sakura drops another bomb. Now she's in love with Naruto? Possibly not. But she's got to make him think she is so he feels differently about her earlier pledge to save Sasuke.

Sakura says she's over Sasuke. And loves Naruto! But Naruto is not having it. Maybe that time has passed"

Hard to believe that someone would write smthng along the lines of your 1. - statement.

The latter could be placed among a cliffhanger-category kind of thing but is also not believable.

From the things I've heard Kishi is rather good at avoiding questions and rarely gives any usable/clear information about his story.
For him to write smthng called the "team-7 triangle" and look at the title, it could be just me but if you compare it to the top side of the page it's not in line, like in If you'd draw a line through the middle of the text it wouldn't be "parallel" with the top of the page. (don't know about the explanation I'm Duth hope it's understandable)

But that could be me seeing things; and what's with that chapter 000 thing in the last screens?

[Jenskott]

I think that is a fake.

[Blazing CobaltX]

That's odd.

[Miss Soupy]

They must all be NH fans and NS haters!!

But seriously...it was probably meant to cause chaos amongst the pairings, something Kishi does on his own anyways.

Nothing really to worry about~

Meanwhile, at ViZ Media:

Viz ignoring sakuras growing feelings for Naruto before the confession even Kishi said she was honest lol. its just a biased page that means nothing at the end of the day.

It's real. It's in one my my Shōnen magazines — it mad me angry.

[jason voorhees]

im going to have to agree with Living Lavish on this kish stated nothing of the sort only positive. i belive this is nothing more than for the pairing wars to play off the fans. aslong as the kish man dosnt say otherwise.


The antis will have a field day with this. But to me this all gose agenst what sakura stands for.

behond that i have nothing to add that hasnt ben stated.

[catsi563]

the punch part was based on the first meeting post time skip and completely mis interpreted the scene.

the second and third ones also misinterpret the scenes as well.

its primarily a teaser trailer type montage designed to stir exitement in readers. like most teasers it short changeds the scenes to build interest.

[merryGOflava]

i hate when it says, " she would rather give him a punch than be his GF"

comon!! the dude was being perverted and the girl cant even punch him without her head being torn off with bad comments....i cant wait till narusaku happens...

[Hopestar]

If its not from Kishi himself than don't believe it

[merryGOflava]

If its not from Kishi himself than don't believe it

i dont im just getting tired of all these types of comments against sakura or narusaku...now i keep thinking " when are they gonna stop whinnying already?" >_>

[KonaKonaFan]

Yeah, I remember seeing this in one of my Shounen Jump issues. I was like, "Meh. Haters gonna hate."

[Hopestar]

Even we have an NS kiss, marriage, & child they will still hate! This been going on the series began and only worsen when part 2 started with mostly NS and lack of SS and NH

your right...but that will make it even more right when narusaku does happen (ima say "i told you so" to so many people)

[K9ofChaos]

Didn't Viz Media once release an article about the likelihood of narusaku becoming the main canon pairing or something?


I agree with casti that it's more of a teaser to get readers interested. I also believe that Viz is just trolling the fanbase by catering to the American fans pairing preferences. They're either narusaku fans themselves (given if the answer to my question above is a yes of course) who published this article just for the lulz or don't really care about pairings but are just doing their jobs translating the manga and anime into english and decided to publish that article just to create suspense.


That's my take on it, so I have nothing to worry about.

Agree. Nothing to worry about here, people. Its Viz Media's way of teasing the upcoming/continuing American Naruto fans, who follow the series legally.

[Kyuudaime]

Oh the lulz of some people getting worked up over this.
