I'm not complaining though, I don't think they add much to the story. But it would be nice if Hinata could get some love

Indeed that's the only reason why NarutoxSasuke is the most popular pairing among fandom, simply because Naruto's obsession with Sasuke is easily misinterpretated as love.

And let us not forget that Kiba's and Lee's conversation is being used as a tool for forshadowing on top of Sakura's facial expression while the conversation is taking place. What she's about to say will both liberate and crush Naruto at the same time. I place my bets on it.

Well, that's not surprising, given how Naruto and Sasuke, to put it in the words of a wise fan, "the entire point of the manga."

Well, my time as a devoted Yaoi fan is well over, but... it's just further proof for me that I had once loved Naruto x Sasuke because of how their saga unfolded throughout the manga, that, if Sasuke were a girl when he played the role of Naruto's other half, then it wouldn't change how epic their bond would be.

I could see the shipping fandom erupting and soaring even more. Imagine how epic it would be.

Carry on!

Lol

I hope Sasuke gets more evil and eventually fights Sakura and kills her.
Then Naruto snaps and turns 180 degrees into blind hate for Sasuke.

It would give the Manga some nice complexity. Much better than having everyone running around like Sasuke's cheerleaders. Kishi has already made Sakura fairly useless in the overall scheme of the story. This would be a nice way to get rid of her while simeaultaneously giving the story more depth. (No ressurection jutsu's allowed)

Quite possibly but I doubt it will stop him, I mean Sakura isn't exactly the only reason he's doing it.

Yup... i can't see Sakura running to Naruto's arms....

But, what if Sakura says to Naruto that he can forget the promise, Naruto will still search Sasuke.

OTOH, what about if Sakura is more serious and take an agressive posture about Sasuke?, like really hunting him and ending all this for good?.

Yes and probably Sakura knows that...

Alchemist007 · 2009-10-09, 23:17

Eh...I don't think she'll go that far. Firm stance but not "FIRST ONE WITH HIS HEAD GETS TREATED TO RAMEN."

HayashiTakara · 2009-10-09, 23:20

What Sakura and the others don't know is that Naruto's pursuit of Sasuke isn't solely on his promise to Sakura, but its primarily driven that he just can't give up on Sasuke for some unknown crazy yaoi fangirl reasoning, lol

Alchemist007 · 2009-10-09, 23:24

I doubt this will be his reaction but its nice to imagine...
Naruto: "Ok...yeah brb, gonna save Sasuke"
Sakura: *facepalm

Nah... the others already know it. Sakura can't be so silly to not see that.

For that reason is why i think that Sakura will not say "forget the promise come back to home", she must say something different.

Alchemist007 · 2009-10-09, 23:29

"lets stop him together" ?
Only part she may have to be discrete on is "may have to end him."

HayashiTakara · 2009-10-09, 23:37

Nah they don't know, at least realize how much of an impact Sasuke himself have on Naruto. Since they seem to think that its the promise that's making Naruto be self-sacrificing to get Sasuke back.

Fran~ · 2009-10-09, 23:54

Remember how that promise was made, Sakura crying at Konoha's gate asking for Sasuke... Shikamaru, Neji, Choji, Kiba, Lee saw that. So, may be you're correct about that. But, still, Sakura knows how much Sasuke means to Naruto.

Nah, it can't be a simple "Naruto, thanks, but... forget it..." Because it's pointless, after the talk with Madara, Naruto is more and more focused on meet Sasuke again.

Sakura will need to choose wisely the words that she will use.

Says who, you? Naruto doesn't HAVE to "get" anyone, especially someone whom hes never once shown any romantic interest in (aka Hinata). Sakura is the one and only female hes ever developed a romantic interest in, and she herself has been showing continuous signs all throughout the series that her feelings have been potentially growing romantically towards him in exchange. If Naruto is to "get" anyone at this point to which would make the most sense and plausibility, and especially considering how things have been developed thus far, it would be Sakura.

Please, face it... Hinata is eye-candy material for fans. She has ZERO relevance for the history, even Neji has more relevance because his father's death. The shining moment of Hinata was totally pointless and it was an act of egoism. Once the battle ends, it was Sakura the one who salutes Naruto.

Hinata it's like Sylphiel in Slayers, she was deeply in love of Gaudy... but... you know... underdogs are underdogs...

This, this, and this.

Kishi is going to throw a curve ball and do a time skip where Naruto is married to Ino producing blonde haired blue eyed kids.

james0246 · 2009-10-10, 01:19

^That's a little to aryan for my tastes. Better for the time skip to result in Naruto and Karui having some cute little mixed children...

I wouldn't mind that. Naruto needs to check to see if she has a sexy tan-line lol

james0246 · 2009-10-10, 01:40

^Seeing as how she comes from the Cloud village, I expect her tan will be atrocious (just look at all the pale on Yugito and Samui)

. At least she wasn't from the Mist village where everyone's skin seems to glow it is so pale
