narusaku had the most development in the series it isnt just some fanon because the writer shoe horned in these pairings otherwise why did he make the minato one shot have these parallels and samurai 8. you sound like you just dont like ns and if youre not a ns fan whats the point of being on this site

My impression is they don't care about NaruSaku or anything at all except SasuSaku, seems like they are obsessed with the pairing. They are just looking for any avenue on the internet to gloat about how great SasuSaku. I'm sure they do this same thing to every other Naruto board/forum they can find; it's got nothing to do with NaruSaku. Best for them to be ignored.

 

 

 

• 
  
• Kishimoto got bored and wanted to start a new manga series.
• 
  
• Naruto remains a goldmine with a vast, unexplored big period in its lore. Creating a new Naruto story is far easier than attempting a brand-new original series (like Samurai 8 was).
• 
  
• He grew tired of seeing his original characters ruined and watching the overall popularity of the franchise decline due to Ikemoto, which prompted him to step back in.
• 
  
• Shueisha, along with everyone else involved, was actively begging him to return.
• 
  

Publishers, game developers, and everyone else were begging Kishimoto to return and write a proper sequel with Naruto and Sasuke back as the main focus.

 

 

Kishimoto promoting a new Sasuke vs Naruto VOTE3 fight in this manga is for purely por hype/publicity.

 

It's pretty much because they are the main characters of the franchise, and their rivalry is what drives the debates and the franchise as a whole just like Goku and Vegeta, not Boruto and Kawaki, whom Ikemoto miserably failed to prop up over the past 10 years in the Boruto manga and neither NaruSaku.

 

I already warned and told every single NaruSaku fan who expects Kishimoto to undo his ending: You can wait 1, 2, 5, 10, or 50 years. It's never going to happen.

 

It's time to accept NaruSaku as fanon.   Kishimoto will never retcon his own manga's ending just to pair Sakura with Naruto.

 

 

First  Cope (back from 2014): "Everything was an Infinite Tsukuyomi genjutsu dream. Kishimoto will reveal the genjutsu and make NaruSaku the canon couple."

 

Second Cope: "Kishimoto will publicly state that SasuSaku/NaruHina was a mistake ."

 

Third Cope: "Kishimoto will redo his ending just to pair Sakura with Naruto."

 

First Blow from the Live-Action Movie: The movie will completely erase Naruto's feelings for Sakura while pushing SasuSaku and Sasuke's feelings right from the start. It will likely do the same for Hinata and NaruHina when she appears in the second movie to avoid useless love triangles, ship wars, and Sakura hate for rejecting Naruto.

 

Second Blow: In Kishimoto’s blank period manga, the first thing Kishimoto shows is Sakura carrying a black-haired newborn baby. Sakura and Sasuke's child.

 

So yeah, there’s no Kishimoto admitting his "mistakes" or erasing the canon couples.

 

 

The Boruto manga is Ikemoto's manga. Kishimoto has always made it clear that the manga belonged to Ikemoto.

 

While authors might completely ignore or retcon any spin-off or side manga to write their own sequels, Kishimoto isn't going to pull a massive retcon on his own original line of work. The ultimate resolutions of SasuSaku and NaruHina were established directly by him in Chapters 699 and 700 of the original manga, not by the Boruto manga or Ikemoto.

 

Shadow Rising is going to take place between Chapters 699 and 700 to show what happened during that period, just like Super did with DBZ. Any expansion covering the gap between Chapters 699 and 700 serves to solidify and enrich the existing the canon couples

 

Judging from Sakura carrying her baby, Kishimoto will likely use this blank period manga to include plenty of SasuSaku. It will show Sasuke and Sakura traveling together, finally finishing Sasuke's redemption arc with Sakura, and the birth of their baby. So yeah, you can expect a SasuSaku "The Last" version in this manga. 

 

 

 

 

Ok

I figured it was dead for good. Might end up being the case still.

I'm still around if you want to setup some kind of group on discord. But I do know there is a semi-active discord group for NaruSaku that still exists if you want to join that instead.

This link still works:
