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
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 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.
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 Kishimotos blank period manga, the first thing Kishimoto shows is Sakura carrying a black-haired newborn baby. Sakura and Sasuke's child.
So yeah, theres 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.

Well they announced a while ago that theyre going to make a few og naruto episodes. Masashi said 10 yrs ago and also more recently he wants to write about sakuras parents but he hasnt done that yet. Theres also some interest in making a live naruto movie i hear but there were pretty terrible rumors about itI still bet they'll revisit the series again. For nostalgia-sake and some extra $$$.
If they did a really good mini series for an anniversary, old school fans would love it! I'm still betting that they'll cash in on the nostalgia at some point.

I guess not yet 😅Got some hearsay about that Naruto 4 episodes mini series. Apparently, the CEO of TVTokyo said in a financial report that it will come out in this fiscal years. So, it has to come out by March 31 of 2025 for that to be true.

Yeah I remember the comparisons between Kishi's wife and Sakura. I did not know that she was unhappy that about how the manga ended or that she was a NaruSaku fan.
I 100% agree on Kishi's lack of reliability. To me it just points back to how he should bear the consequences and displeasure for constantly lying and gaslighting his audience.
kishi went to the dentist and his future wife recognized his name matched the mangaka of naruto and that's how they met. it's kind of funny because i think oda married a one piece fan as well

This guy is a felon who asked his followers to stage a coup he shouldn't even be allowed to run except he's got the court stacked with allies. Trump also said he will take away elections in the future meaning he intends to do away with term limits to stay in power (and also away from the bars)

To be honest the moment a sequel trilogy was going to be made the old eu canon was going to be removed. George lycas himself never saw it as canon and at best just used a few ideas from the eu or give a little import like the history of the sith with darth bane or palpatine's sith master. Heck his ideas were etheir going to be about the Willis or darth maul and darth talon with having a underground criminal empire. So no thawn or yu zang vong. Plus I doubt genreal audience was to read about 20 to 30 decades of spin of novels, comics and games to understand a sequel trilogy from the eu timeline, they will have so many questions like chewbacca dead, along with why their is a galactic federation instead of a new Republic
yeah true but like i said the replacement isn't better than what was removed

They wanted a sequel, they wanted the huge international fanbase that Naruto was famed for, and they were told Hinata was the desired love interest for Naruto by a majority of the fan base; of course push along by her fanatics in the anime staff. SS happening was to put away the spare and make a love interest for the sequel's main character. On paper, there should have been no problem.
However. The fanbase that supported Hinata being the love interest was overblown. They destroyed the original story to make it happen. They new main character is unlikable. They added problems to the ending pairings when their supporters desired them to be perfect and flawless fantasy relationships. Also they person they put in charge of the sequel made a poorly drawn, drawn out, and uninteresting story that disinterested most people.
studio pierrot didn't help. there was even an omake about how they loved hinata and also notes by the studio for an episode with neji where they claim neji was a pervert who was stealing hinata from naruto. not to mention a whole movie about nh written by a writer who probably knew nothing about naruto since she normally wrote live action romance stories

it's like saying "kakashi and rin would have happened". why even ask for that? if not for obito kakashi would have let rin die...
kishimoto and his brother were probably close so he wanted to keep the team the way it was in the story. even in dragon quest/hunterxhunter/o-parts hunter they all have a character kind of like sasuke
