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'm late but Happy New Year. I'm surprised this site is still up each time I check in, but for the few of us that are still around I really wish you all the best.

It's too bad things couldn't turn out differently for this ship and the site could remain more active.

Is this place dead?

This ship's been dead for 11 years now, everyone's moved on there's nothing left to say.

 

Plus, message boards are dying in favor of platforms like Discord. Even if NaruSaku did become canon it may very well have been bound to happen anyway that this place would clear out, especially with the quality we have seen in Boruto.

Hey I hope everyone has been well. Been back going back to NaruSaku for a bit, as we all do every once in a while. Sometimes when I think about them, it feels like that day the two final chapters dropped in 2014 and I'm disappointed all over again lol.

 
You really can't forget about me, can you? I never said anything like that. Since you quoted me months later, I will clarify some recent events for some delusional fans who are still mourning NaruSaku death after 9 years.
 
I stated that they would disregard the Boruto manga storyline due to its poor quality and Ikemoto's inability to craft a compelling narrative or produce decent artwork. This has nothing to do with the canon couples.
 
The producers admited that:
 

 
As you can see, they would rather create their own story instead of use Ikemoto story. 
 
- Instead of focusing on Boruto and Kawaki, they shifted their focus to Sasuke and Naruto.
- Rather than the Otsutsuki, they centered their attention on the Uchiha clan.
- Instead of the Karma power, they focused on the Sharingan.
- War and clans conflict instead of the aliens.
 
 
At this point they're just try to milk out the Uchihas and popular plots then tried to hide it by adding Boruto's character in the game.  

 
Despite your alleged popularity of NaruSaku, which led to a decline in the franchise's popularity due to fan backlash, the game producers remained oblivious and made no alterations to the canon couples. Instead of developing an alternative NaruSaku family, they introduced a New Team Special featuring Sasuke, Sakura, and Sarada. 
 
As you can see, Nanashi was just an Uchiha wearing a blonde wig instead of a NaruSaku daughter from another dimension. Let's hope that every blonde character introduced is a NaruSaku son.
 

Also today is the official couples day in Japan.
They still are using the Canon Couples propaganda and ignoring NaruSaku.
 

 
 
They released a pair of rings referencing and paying tribute to Sasuke and Sakura.

A big japonese site conducted a popularity poll to find out which couple is the most popular of all mangas. Guess what?

Everybody in Japan hates the canon couples and everybody misses NaruSaku.  
 
I really admire the anger and some desilusional NaruSaku fan theories  fans 9 years after the ending.
 
 
GoodBye.
 
Let's wait. Maybe in 2050, a NaruSaku son from another dimension will appear, or Kishimoto will express regret for his canon couples decision, stating that he lost his wife based  Sakura to Sasuke due to the influence of the evil editors and Hinata fans.

Therece man you need to chill out. 99% of the NaruSaku fandom moved on and either just follow Boruto casually or dropped the series entirely after the ending nearly 10 years ago.

There's nothing to be gained by cheerleading the canon couples and kicking down on a fandom that is practically non-existant these days on here or elsewhere. Just enjoy the fact that you got what you wanted out of the series and will get more in the future and drop the rest of the drama.

The "rivalry" line from the Last always struck me as very odd because it answered a question (in a very poor way) that really didn't need to be answered at the time.

 

NaruSaku was already 6 feet under at the time and all it accomplished was making Naruto look petty and puts all their interactions in the manga in a worse light. 

 

It was a throwaway line that was never brought up again, so why even bring it up to begin with?

Who knows what is true from the interviews Kishimoto gave around that time. He was saying all kinds of ridiculous things to drum up more drama amongst the fans in those interviews, like Sakura would be a terrible woman if she moved on from Sasuke and that Sasuke was like a drug to her.

 

Also, we don't know how much his wife actually cared about Naruto and it may have been just one off hand comment she made to him about Naruto and Sakura, and Kishimoto thought it would make for good discussion/drama in an interview. Like, I can't see fictional characters and how he wrote them causing any real serious rift in their household, but it is really impossible to know one way or another.
 

I think it is in part because NaruSaku is a dead pairing so they think there is no way anything could be paralled to a dead pairing. Everything in this series has to have a parallel so the only choice for them is NaruHina, and they aren't going to get any pushback on that either because most of what remains of the Naruto fandom is pro-NH or neutral.

After all these years I think people deep down know that NS was supposed to be but they prefered another shipping.  Like is been so long since the ending and people are still trheatened by a dead ship. Any NS content on tiktok that I see the comments are filled with:
 
"Soul mates (Best Friends)"
 
"Besties"
 
"They truly belongtogether as best friends"
 
And the scene could be explicitly Naruto saying he loves Sakura to Sai or the fmale ninja lmaooo9

The just "best friends" or "siblings" arguments never held any water and the proof is in Boruto where there isn't a single moment of them acting that way with each other.

Their interactions are kept to a minimum because their old relationship dynamic simply no longer exists and had to be buried.

Wow, color me surprise. Minato's story was on point. Masashi, you had one job. Where was this writing during the end of Naruto?!

Right. For some reason he is just comfortable writing Minato and Kushina.

Compare this one shot to how he wrote Sarada Gaiden (I think it was his worst performance as a writer) and the difference is astonishing.

I saw some NS fans talk about her on twitter and theorizing maybe she was a NaruSaku child from a multiverse. But its only natural they won't throw NaruSaku a bone in any way, shape or form. The staff at Studio Pierrot would rather see their company go bankrupt and drown in endless debt than give up NH. 

They were even thinking she'd be portrayed as a villain if so. Guess they were half right.
Either way, sounds really stupid, even if it she were a NaruSaku child. Hard pass.

Yeah it always sucks to say but NaruSaku is a dead pairing it'll never get a crumb going forward, even if there is a reboot one day.

The two of them aren't even really allowed to interact anymore in the manga/anime as friends, so not a chance they'd have a multiverse kid.

According to leaks, that girl in the trailer is an Uchiha (yep another one) named Nanashi and is from the online game Boruto plays. She is able to mind control people and some new evil organization wants to use it to brainwash the world by using her eyes to create a reflection off the moon, or something like that...

So not anything remotely interesting.

I could careless about popularity. It is about quality and even NH beats SS in that department in spades.

It has been explained in detail enough so I'll keep it short. But SS is one of the worst relationships written in any media and it doesn't make Sasuke or Sakura and especially the fandom that remains look any better if their relationship is what makes the two of them more popular.

I would agree that if we swapped Sakura out with Hinata, and left everything else the same, Boruto would still be in dire straits right now.

It might even be in a worse spot as you would be trading two big shipping fandoms for just one.

That's why I expect we will never ever get a reboot, alternate ending, etc. Not in a million years will that happen because it probably isn't even a thought in anyone's mind that the ending and Boruto was a mistake.

If Boruto ends up being cancelled that will be the end of it and we will get nothing of it, same as it is now.
