Hey everyone i've been reading the arguments on here and i thought i should throw in my opinion on it. While i will admit that i was OUTRAGED after reading this chapter because of the whole sakura confessing AGAIN scenario but after reading through it again i actually cannot see how this is a step forward for SS in fact its a HUGE step back and may even be what finally sinks the ship.

Sakura is clearly very pissed off when she gave her 'love' speech which is something we have never seen, she shrinks and acts submissive pretty much every other time they meet in part 2 but for her to get genuinely angry and heartbroken? that has to indicate something even if she doesn't understand it herself.

While ill bet that many SS fans will argue that he still cares about her due to the fact that he didn't kill her when he could have done so easily the fact that he mindkittened her into thinking he did kill her is a huge blow to the ship and not to mention he stated himself that he absolutely does not love her at all and that she a complete idiot for loving him, even asking how she could love him which is a question NS shippers have been asking for 600+ chapters! also he could have just knocked her out normally instead using that genjutsu but i think he did so to let it sink into her head when she wakes up that he does not love her.

Hagoromo's speech is used by SS shipper's to try and justify SS by saying that sasuke will regain his love through sakura but his speech is about love lost between siblings and and hatred forming between friends, it shows madara who lost his little brother and blamed harashima, it shows sasuke who lost his brother and blames the whole ninja system itself and it also shows sakura as well, but what about obito? he lost love too and hated the world because of it but the one he lost was rin who he loved romantically not in a familial way so he was not included in this speech.

I think this may be another hint that sakura's feeling are now familial and she has yet to realise it.

Another reason i believe SS is doomed is because of the upcoming movie, the sketches released show sasuke alive and well pretty much spoiling the outcome of this so called final battle but from his outfit he is clearly not in the leaf village anymore, he is wearing a turban and desert gear instead of a leaf headband SS can argue he's wearing on his arm or waist but no he is clearly still a rogue ninja, and naruto and the rest seem pretty happy with their lives so we can hope Sakura finally learn's her lesson by then

Sakura's confession could also be considered one last desperate attempt to get through to sasuke, she cannot let go of the past and is burdened by feeling's for a boy who no longer exist's hence sasukes " chains of a broken past" line and since he used his genjustu to quite literally reach into her chest and break her heart she may finally FINALLY move on 

in the end i believe NS will come out on top, it has too much buildup for us to start doubting it now and SS has very little foundation aside from a few moments in part 1 still all we can do is support NS and wait til it finally becomes official :)

Hi everyone i'm new to this site but i'm a huge fan of this ship and i would love to share my opinion on why i believe this ship is canon.

First of all sakura's lingering feeling's for sasuke are rooted in the past, all evidence that points to her feelings are connected to the time they shared in team seven however the recent chapter's show that no matter how much they wish for it team seven can never be the same.

team seven for reunited briefly in the war but nobody was convinced that sasuke's intentions were good not even sakura did, and the reason for that is the fake smile i know many sasusaku fans will say that she does trust him due to her words sounding sincere, but this is not the case and this is why i think so:

sai throughout the series has brought up a few subtle hints about narusaku with his books such as the honorific's scene and how people smile very brightly when talking about or to someone they love and sakura's fake smile make's me believe she may be letting go of her feelings for sasuke because she may be finally realising that the past is is the past and sasuke will never be the same, and there is also the honorific's comment even now sakura call's sasuke 'sasuke kun' which sai pointed out that one will always be out of your romantic reach should you keep this honorific, something she continues to do with sasuke but not with naruto.

words can sound sincere but that doesnt mean they are, lies are determined my change's in body language which is what a fake smile is, so sakura may very well be finally giving up on sasuke and we will see narusaku come full circle, that was my opinion on sasusaku's sinking ship now here's why i belive narusaku is strongly afloat.

the buildup of this ship is undeniable, its present throughout parts i and ii from very subtle hints to almost outright saying it, here are a few example's

The CPR scene: ok ok i know that ALOT of sasusaku and naruhina fans will say that it is just cpr and that is what it appears to be but the reasons surrounding it and a couple of other things make it seem like more to me, sakura in the past has treated CPR as a genuine kiss, she has tried the fake drowning trick a couple of time's to get a kiss out of sasuke which show that she does in fact consider the act a kiss and everytime she was foiled by naruto, however she is now a fully qualified medical nin and cpr shouldnt be such a big deal right? well i believe that she is still a typical japanese girl and that she has never had to actually perform this on a patient because none of them have ever been so utterly close to death and the fact that she was willing to do this for naruto, giving her sacred first kiss to naruto to save his life just show's how far she has come and that she is willing to risk her life and pride just so he can live, and i also think that in the following chapters she will reprimand him for making her give him her first kiss. :)

The past and the present: Sakura is a dead set ringer for naruto's mother kushina who has the same temper. mannerism's and even initial view's of there significant other's, the resemblance is uncanny and with road to ninja i believe that this was intentional,

all the prominent teams be it the sannin's or team minato and sadly team seven, they all have the same pattern the hero loves the girl but she loves someone else then the hero dies before the girl can come to love him, tsunade and rin were implied to potentially reciprocate jiraiya and obitos feeling's eventually however the latters supposed death and the former's definite one shattered any chances of that, naruto is supposed to represent the breaking of this cycle which mean's getting the girl, becoming hokage and saving the ninja world.

sakura's and naruto's feelings: no matter how you look at it, these two are soulmates however at the moment you could call them more than friends but less than lover's this is just a challenge naruto has to face, both have been shown to not understand the feelings of other's so long as they are directed at them such as naruto's observant nature to the romantic feelings one character has for another when they are directed at him though he has absolutely no idea unless he is told which is the same for sakura she had no idea of naruto's feeling until sai of all people told her about them, which means there will have to be an honest and sincere show of affection between the two to get the message across and i bet that kishi will bring us just that.

it has also been stated in the third databook that sakura does have feelings for naruto she just doesnt realise that she has them which is why i believe that the nine tails extraction was meant to be used as a catalyst to show not only obitos redemption of his character but sakuras realization that naruto is the most important person in her life.

phew...... thanks for reading guys because this ship is just too damn beautiful to give up on and i just wanted to share that with everyone :)
