:woot: This was my face the entire time reading this. Glad to have someone like you in the NS fandom writing stuff like this.

"He forgot to make Boruto & Himawari have Byakugan."

:facepalm: Yeah sure you did, Kishimoto. This guy does not care at all or he is intentionally sabotaging his own work because editors and SP have basically taken control of his series and he's making sure no one continues supporting Naruto. This kitten is getting funnier by the day, though.

A series of one shots/drabbles detailing the life of Haruno Sakura and Uzumaki Naruto. Generally does not follow the canon storyline pertaining to post chapter 699 developments.

Has this author posted this story on FFN? I couldn't find it but man this one is full of tearjerkers. That chapter 11 drabble. :cry:

This is so good tricksie; another fantastic job. I love the title of your fic because as you said many times before, those are Naruto's last, true, and honest words to Sakura and in the manga. To be honest, just reading what you wrote here would be perfect on its own, but I am excited to see the rest and I know it will be something great.

My 699-700 Rant

I've been acting like an idiot on these forums ever since the spoilers for 699-700 were first shown. I've been pretty bitter these past weeks, bashing and cursing Kishi's decisions over the ending. While my statements were what I truly felt, I do regret writing it in a very immature way. Now with all the time that has passed, I think I can rant a little more coherently and maturely than I have the last two weeks.

Overall this rant will focus on my frustrations on NH/SS being canon and I hope it doesn't come off as too negative. :sweatdrop: I really need to get this off my chest because this has been really bothering me and I feel if I write this out I can move on from this ending on focus more positively on the pairing that really made me appreciate this series in the first place.

This is the NaruSaku Debate Thread so I felt that I needed to object the pairings of NH/SS and why I feel that they are so flawed and why I refuse to acknowledge them as something positive to all the characters involved.

Something to note: I have never participated in pairing wars and to this day have never felt the urge to bash people who may like NH/SS. So, please understand that I am not criticizing/bashing the people who may like these pairings, but I will criticize the pairing themselves. This is my honest opinion on this matter so hopefully I don't offend anybody out there reading this.

Seeing this pairing become canon just gives me the impression that Part 2 was just a waste of time for both of these characters.

The one thing I question from all this is what the hell did you do to Sakura, Kishimoto? Is Sakura suppose to be this strong female character who has been shown to have a fiery temper, confident in her abilities, and a very strong resolve or is she this submissive, weak-minded girl every time she is surrounded by Sasuke?

It’s very sickening to see now because honestly I was expecting a big payoff from all those panels of Sakura looking so dejected from all those insults Sasuke was throwing around during the war arc. The only time in Part 2 that I remember Sakura ever acting out on Sasuke was when Sasuke said something very disparaging to Naruto during the Land of Iron. Seeing this for the first time gave me some hope that Sakura would at least show some of her temper toward Sasuke for all the BS that he has put her and Naruto throughout the series. 693 should’ve been the chapter where Sakura did this and really moved on from any romantic feelings she had for Sasuke. Those few panels before her second confession (which was just a rehashed version of Part 1’s confession) gave me some hope that Sakura was now indeed fed up with Sasuke but was left utterly disappointed with the end results. With 700, it doesn’t seem to me that Sakura is no longer this strong woman. There is no reason now to have that Kushina parallel anymore because that was something meant for NS. I can’t see her acting in this manner with her husband and child.

As for Sasuke, I will make this quick. I did not like the way Sasuke was handled in Part 2 at all. All the convoluted stuff that Kishi had to shoehorn and make up along the way to keep Sasuke as this tragic anti-hero was just embarrassing as a fan to witness. The whole Uchiha clan love way too much and Sasuke becoming an incarnation of Indra (Along with Naruto as Ashura) were just stupid plot devices to keep Sasuke relevant to Kishi and ham-fist him into this final battle with Naruto. And the whole poke to the forehead scene in 699 was so tacky and OOC from Sasuke that is not even worth criticizing on because just a couple chapters before we had Sasuke proclaim his sound reasoning as to why would Sakura even have feelings for him in the first place and vice versa.

Overall this pairing is just a mess and I saw no positive development of this pairing from Kishimoto.

This pairing has always been a head scratcher for me and I am honestly surprised Kishi went this route for the ending. I am going to disregard the movie because I am ranting about 699 and 700 and not 699.5 because it’s not even out yet (And I’m not planning on watching it at all) and I can already smell the retcon SP and Kishi have cooked up as to why they should hook these two up. This pairing has to be one of the most one-sided affairs that I have seen in a long time and the way these two end up together is never given the time of day in the manga. Really, it’s embarrassing that Kishi could not give the title character a developed relationship with the one he ends up with.

Naruto, as an MC, has been given the worst handed to him in my opinion in this ending. We never get to see how exactly he becomes the Hokage. He is depicted as a negligent father. He doesn’t get with the one who he truly loves. He doesn’t get any real focus at all in chapter 699 and his presence in 700 did not impress me at all. One of the things that baffle me is why would Kishi show Naruto being this kind of person to his family, when in my eyes, I could never see Naruto being this neglectful after living the majority of his life alone with no family. It really confuses me that Kishi could depict Naruto in this way. To me, this is just set up for Part 3 (which again, will have no interest in picking up) and is just another cheap way to continue this series.

Hinata well there isn’t much to say because of all the characters mentioned she is the only one to be classified as a side character. She is a very one-dimensional character who only purpose in the entire series is to show that she has romantic feelings for Naruto. Her moments to me were always overshadowed by Sakura. Hinata confession during Pain Arc then came NaruSaku Hug at the end of Pain Arc. Naruto/Hinata holding hands then came the CPR scene where Sakura saves Naruto's life. My biggest criticism of her and her missed potential is Kishi’s complete abandonment of her relationship with the Hyuuga clan, which is non-existent in Part 2. With this timeskip, Kishi didn’t even bother to show if the branch members even carry the Hyuuga curse seal anymore or if she’s even the leader of her clan which she might not be by the way she is depicted in 700.

Really don’t have much else to say but this pairing makes no sense just from lack of chemistry that both Naruto and Hinata have with each other and Naruto’s complete disinterest in her as a romantic interest for the rest of the series.

I feel like I just scratched the surface with my rant. There is so much to discuss but I don’t want sound too hateful and angry with the series because there were many things that I liked in the series. I liked some of the battle scenes, the NS interactions, the unique cast of characters throughout the series. But this ending was very disappointing to me. NS not becoming canon especially is something that deeply disappointed me.

I don’t want to criticize anymore. The thing to focus now is on NaruSaku. There is a reason why I ship them and only them. I never really felt something like this before for a fictional pairing and is something that I just can’t abandon. I know now that I can’t depend on Kishi anymore for real closure on this wonderful pairing. Having read some Alternate Endings, I am glad to see the community continuing doing fantastic work and the incoming fan art as well. I want to contribute as well, I don’t know yet how I will do it, but I know when the day comes to show it off, I hope to make NS fans smile.
