B&W
Done!
>>291407740>>291408010Thanks opHoly fuck that was an awful chapter
>>291407703I never realize how pathetic Mei is as a character until this reread. Biggest jobber of the Gokage and all she can talk about is things related to marriage.
>>291408010Thanks, comfy OP!
>>291407634>>291407652I hate Shikamaru so fucking much, goddamn.
Another fucking chapter of>IT'S HOPELESS!!!>NO IT'S NOT, DATTEBAYO>YOU'RE RIGHT, LET'S FIGHT!!!For fucks sake we're in the 11th hour, there's only 51 chapters left. How are we still wasting time on motivating jobbers that have absolutely 0 impact on the battle? The only ones that matter for the fight going forward are Naruto, Sasuke, Hashirama, Kakashi, Tobirama, and Guy. If it's not one of these characters they should not even be wasted on taking up a single panel.
>>291407652>Thanks, Naruto! Your chakra...I haven't counted but this sure has happened a fucking lot. The whole alliance is there just to wank Nardo.
>>291408315Classic shonen character bloat syndrome. You made all these characters, so now you have to shove them in wherever you can to justify their existence.
>>291407763>>291407778
>>291408315>HashiramaI don't think he actually does anything either.>TobiramaDoes nothing but job>GuyAlso jobs, you could cut him out of the fight entirely and nothing changes, he's just there to fulfill the Eighth Gate on the checklist before the series ends
>>291407634So anyone can hear everyone's thought? What a mess. >>291407652Why can Tobirama hear his thoughts? He isn't linked with Naruto's chakra. >>291407730Come to think of it, when has Naruto given Hashirama nine-tails chakra? He just had the cloak for the previous 2 chapters but before that?
>>291407684>bottom rightuooo
>>291407716Kakashi's tummy...
>>291407703>last two panelsCome on Kishi...
>>291407573>morning after his first time with temari
>>291407573NOOOOOOO SAKURALET HIM DIE!!!!
total healslut
>>291407652Please don't forget about Sai, dear readers.
>>291407684Sakura being happy about Tsunade praising her is very cute
>>291407620Forced flashback.
>>291408787>>291407716
>>291407730>>291407740>>291407995>>291408010Arigatou, OP!
>>291408010Cheers
Imagine waiting a week for this chapter
>>291407491These losers all died and they have the gall to act like they're still in charge.
That was an entire chapter of Naruto wank...
>>291407605Two chapters ago>Sorry dad, seems like I will join you soonNow>Sorry dad, seems like I won't join you soon
>>291407573How vanaglorious can you be when you need a flashback of YOURSELF to regain confidence?
>>291409787worth
>>291407585>Naruto is unconciously healing ShikamaruFuck everyone else, right?
>>291407620>Shikamaru needs to be connected to Naruto's feelings to finally understand himAnd there are still people who's adamantly convinced that Shikamaru was Naruto's best friend since day 1
>>291407634This is where I really started to hate the Naruto-centrism plaguing the story.Shikamaru already had a motivation to live when he swore to protect Asuma's baby.But now everyone must be revolved around Naruto, everyone has to live for Naruto, Naruto Naruto Naruto
The naruto wank in this phase of the story is extremely egregious
gaara switches back to ore right after sasuke pierces him with chidori, showing how he snapped out of his childish boku using personality after getting injured.
>>291407652>There's nobody better than me to be Naruto's advisorRemind me again, what did Shikamaru do in the war to gain this self-confidence?
>>291407703Holy shit. Mei fucking sucks. I really liked her but I guess I wasn't paying attention when I formed my opinion.
>>291410298it all feels like a mary sue fanfic
>>291407652War arc Sakura design makes me crave sex
>>291410395mei's whole character is marriage marriage marriage. MARRIAGEthere's a reason everyone bitches about the female characters in naruto
>>291407652>>291407666Choji is fucking adorable
>>291410298Asuma was a non-character though and Kurenai is even less of a character
>>291407684Wow, this must be the first time a character praises another character right in their face instead of keeping the compliments inside a thought bubble
>>291407605Ino, aren't you also a medical nin? Why aren't you helping Sakura?
>>291410429People need to truly realize how much of a hack and fraud Kishi is.
>>291409353Sakura just hits different as a grown man. Getting me worked up.
>>291407526Omg, is that kunai and shuriken? this war is as good as done
>>291410480Kishi forgot about that.
>>291407666Hinata is a parody of herself at this pointShe only needs to faint and her flanderization is complete
>>291407526Are those three in the top left characters we're supposed to know?
>>291409353Haha imagine Naruto kissing those lips
the current plan is apparently 8 MOVIES TOTAL:Movies 1-3: OG NarutoMovies 4-8: Shippuden
>>291407703>As a woman, I...SHUT. UP.
>>291410590Not gonna happen, Sasuke.
How did this manga manage to last 700 chapters? Normally, for something to last that long, and be so culturally impactful and influential, it has to actually be well written.
>>291410694Popularity never has and never will have anything to do with quality.
>>291407509Watch out Obito! This one got a sword!
>>291410694>Normally, for something to last that long, and be so culturally impactful and influential, it has to actually be well written.Where did you get that idea?
>>291410694Why do you think this series has so many fanfics?
>>291407585>wasting chakra on Kiba and Sai
>>291410694part 1 was REALLY good
>>291407684What is that expression meant to convey?
>>291411111>tee hee praise me!
>>291407509I'm a little confused about what's happening here. Did those guys in the middle panel swap clothes?
>>291407716>patching himself up without a medic or complainingKakashi is a real one
>>291407946>will of fireWhat does that even mean?
>>291407684rare cute sakura
>>291407585>>291407605Ino always seemed to understand Naruto better than anybody else
>>291407585Why is Ino's hair so fucking long anyway? wasn't there something about how it's impractical for a real female shinobi to have it that long? though I guess Mei doesn't care either...
>>291407703I fucking HATE this character
>>291407684cute headpats
>>291408488>guy jobsDo you know what jobbing is? Or are you retarded enough to believe losing = jobbing?
>>291407716Funny how Kakashi was just chilling there while everyone outside was dumping their flashbacks on each other.
>>291407585>Please Naruto, let me have ONE THING that I can do!>her smile and optimism: gone
>>291411306nta but jobbing is losing to build up another character. guy jobbed to continue to build up madara.
>>291410996Usually, something has to be good in order to inspire future creators.
>>291407703Kishimoto really, -truly- hates women. I wish I knew what made him like this. This is beyond normal cynical misogyny, this is from personal factors.
>>291411403Jobbing is not just "losing". Nobody's opinion on Madara was elevated after fighting Guy. If anything, Guy was massively built up from it. To this day people still refer to Guy as a top 5 in powerscaling because of it. Jobbing is not "loses a close fight". Jobbing is one guy beating the shit out of another guy to make the first guy look strong. If you think there's no difference between Guy losing to Madara and the 5 Kage losing to Madara, you have no idea what jobbing is.Madara shows up and no-diffs the 5 kage offscreen. He's immediately shown as monstrously strong because the Kage JOBBED.Guy fights Madara and all Madara does is go "GOD DAMN YOU'RE STRONG AS FUCK HOLY SHIT" and then just edges out Guy to beat him.
>>291411395She hyped up and thought she could fight with the big dogs. Got her ass back in the kitchen and a man decided he'd make the sandwich himself. Smh
funnycomfy
>>291411395lol
>>291410298Naruto is the fucking MC. Complainfag.
>>291411157You'd think he'd know one or two healing jutsu amongst the 1k jutsu he has.
>>291411578>Jobbing is not just "losing"Nta but he didn't say that. Are you the same person that kept bitching over how Danzo's men didn't actually job to Obito when they got their ass beaten?
>>291408488>you could cut him out of the fight entirely and nothing changesYeah, I honestly never understood why people never shut the fuck up about that fight and keep going "DUDE OMFG GUY VS MADARA IS SO PEAK SHIT IS SO HYPE BEST FIGHT EVER BRO".I watched it a few days ago and it was really underwhelming. Plus the fact that Madara wasn't even trying didn't even make it that impressive on Guy's part.
>>291410429>>291410490>>291411564Seems like all that woke girlboss programming wasn't a waste, eh? I wonder how you zoomfags would handle any movie made before the 90s.
>>291407585Ino mind probing Sakura without consent
>>291412240they're probably troons
Thank you Sasukefagnever thought I'd say that for confirming how pathetic OP is.
>>291411578i suppose you don't think lee jobbed to gaara either? just because guy and lee both put impressive fights doesn't mean they both didn't job to build up another character.
>>291412010Nta, but they kinda didn't.>>291412240>NOOOO YOU CAN'T COMPLAIN ABOUT POORLY WRITTEN FEMALESYou're not fitting in.
>>291412240movies made before the 90s had neither woke girlboss shit nor 1 dimensional female characters who just talk about marriage. well, assuming they were a main character. there were probably some side characters who were one dimensional but i can't name any off the top of my head.media was less agenda pushing in general pre 90s.
>>291412240Care to tell me where are anons asking for Mei to solo Madara?
>>291407652Sakura isn't even allowed to do her job as a healer, Naruto has to step in to save him
>>291410298What bothers me is Kishi making the pretense that the side bitch characters matter (And honestly even if they did I wouldn't care for them. Konoha 11 a SHIT.). Can't wait for the Infinite Tsukuyomi so most of them totally fuck off from the story.
Ns was always the way it should have been.
>>291412240I'm almost 40 years old. I grew up watching Sarah Conner and Ellen Ripley survive and kick ass while still maintaining their feminine/motherly instincts. Lower your tone while speaking to me about how female characters are written.
>>291412411>Nta, but they kinda didn'tOh, so you're retarded. Got it.
>>291410530I watched shippuden as an adult and was surprised at how fine Sakura became. >>291410400For me it's early shippuden sakura
>>291410298Honestly what I hate more is Shikamaru's ego. He's only been on 2 missions with Naruto at best (SRA and Chunin Exams). Where does he get off saying he's the most qualified person to be the his advisor when he becomes hokage?This shit is so retardedly forced and corny. Fuck, I hate Shikamaru and his constant wanking so much.
a whole chapter just to glaze naruto again. jesus christ this was awful
>>291407526>my HEROES...these nobodies
>>291412706Why did they remove the skirt.
>>291407652The thing about tobirama was that he admired his older brother so he genuinely liked naruto off the bat was always cool.
>>291407620>RETCONNING Shika for the neverending bank because Im pretty sure he was an annoying little prick in his intro and would definitely have contributed to Naruto's bullying
I simply cannot bring myself to hate shikamaru. He is the one of the few with a somewhat unique personality
>>291407652the Nara control everything
>>291407634>everyone on the battlefield can just hear everyone's private thoughts inside their headsIts like a nightmare, oh jesus I looked at Hinata's huge tits, I hope everybody doesnt know what Im thinking
>>291407652>fakeout retcon treated as TRIUMPHANT Was anybody buying this slop the first time around?
>>291407652>and here's Sai, hes still here too!All the stars are here
>NS was always the way it should have been.Yep.
>>291407666>Kiba's gag is now just saying he will be hokage over and over while nobody takes him seriouslyBetter than losing to a fart I guessJeez I feel really bad for Kiba fans
>>291407703>okay its Mei's first time to shine in like 100 chapters, let's give her a cool lineI AM..... A HAG!!!>you tried, Kishi
>>291411279Having gorgeous hair like that would be a + though.Seduction was really common.
>>291412678Not really, beating those guys didn't really make Obito seem stronger than what we already thought of him.
>>291407716>thousand jutsu mirror copy wheel miracle ninja and Definitely Not Sharingan Merchant and Tokubetsu Jounin Hatake Kakashi doesnt know any good healing jutsuMuh chakra>No! He's already on his tenth chidori and fourth kamui of the day and he has to know as soon as he joins the battle he will meet up with Kurama chakra
>>291413018To his credit, this is the one good thing he did with his female cast. Hinata deserved happiness.
>>291413018Neither were sufficiently developed but Narusaku had more potential given they interacted with each other more and kind of already were friends by shippuden. Shared trauma over Sasuke could be the secret sauce to bring them together. It's possible because berserk already did it.Naruhina on the other hand has nothing besides those forced scenes in pain arc and neji's death
>>291413108>than what we already thought of himWe literally never saw him actually fight before that aside from him stalling Naruto's team during the Itachi fight.
>>291412942>UniqueHe has the same personality of a r/athiesm redditor.
>>291413036>I AM..... A HAG!!!kek
>>291413018>AI SHART
>>291411209That's more an understanding Sakura moment
>>291413176That was already enough for us to think he should one shot those guys.
>>291413179Not even close
>>291413165Chunin exams speech mogs everything you listed.
>>291413018>>291413165>Naruhina on the other hand has nothing besides those forced scenes in pain arc and neji's deathI'm really glad Naruto wasn't written by retards like you.
>>291407585Assuming all cloaks are equal is 3x Kakashi even relevant for Sakura? Her reserves must be massive to summon Katsuya and use the technique.
>>291413018Jesus fucking christ get over it already.
>>291412942>unique>entire personality is just him complaining about how whatever he's doing is a pain in the ass over and over again So unique and special. He's not even the only character in the series with this personality. Darui is just him but black and with better powers.
>>291407666Sorry Hinata, you'll never be able to take Naruto's cock as well as Sasuke.
>>291413256
>>291407730
>>291413261>>291413273>Could've replaced hinata with any other character My point = proven. Naruhina never had chemistry
>>291413327Doubt, Sasuke is a 2 minutes chump.
>>291413371Alright, tell me how Choji, Shino, Tenten or Ino saying her words would've worked?
But Sakura never shows any interest in Nardo.It was always about sauce
>>291413243>him dicking around and stalling for time with no certainty of whether he can actually kill anyone is proof enough of his strengthYou're genuinely a deluded moron.
>>291411564>Kishimoto really, -truly- hates women. I wish I knew what made him like this. This is beyond normal cynical misogyny, this is from personal factors.closeted homosexual
>>291411564We've been over this, it's because of that woman from the hair salon that spoiled Se7en for him.
>>291413494>Has the sharingan>Literally untouchable as far as we knew at moment>Story was trying to gaslight us into thinking he was the legendary MadaraLiterally how exactly do you think Shino's adopitive brother and a random Yamanaka would stack up against what was already established about Tobi?
>>291413403Anyone could've given Naruto a pep talk if that was the point. This moment only exist in this particular way because earlier Naruto helped hinata gain confidence in her fight against neji. But that's just Naruto being Naruto. There's no spark in it. This has nothing on the sheer amount of shit Naruto and Sakura go through together. Ever since I've started paying attention to shipwars I couldn't help but notice that Naruhina relies on these stale and sparse bread crumbs meanwhile the characters have zero dynamic
>>291413298>>291413273Look at that chemistry from the pink heal slut but naruto needed a cock sleeve with bog tits that repeated his name like a pokemon.
>>291413377yeah but no one can match his bottom game
>>291411111>good little doggiewhat an absolute doormat
And pink slut wanted to learn how to personally heal him.>muh proud failure
>>291413612>Anyone could've given Naruto a pep talk if that was the pointNo? He barely knows Choji, Shino, Tenten etc at this point. None of them would've related to his insecurities like Hinata did, and Naruto wouldn't have opened up to them. Even if it wasn't for the Neji fight, Hinata already admired Naruto before that.>This has nothing on the sheer amount of shit Naruto and Sakura go through together.99% of Naruto and Sakura's conversations revolve around Sasuke, the guy Sakura is actually in love with. Christ you're a fucking deluded retard.
>>291413612>Anyone could've given Naruto a pep talk if that was the point. This moment only exist in this particular way because earlier Naruto helped hinata gain confidence in her fight against neji.So in other words, Hinata was the best choice for the scene since she has a connection to both Naruto and Naruto's next opponent on top of closing a set up from earlier in the arc.>This has nothing on the sheer amount of shit Naruto and Sakura go through together.What shit brother? For most of part 1 they spend their time separated or with either one unconscious.The only time they have any shit together was in the very 2 first arcs of Part 2.
>>291413549explain. nta
>>291412404>i suppose you don't think lee jobbed to gaara either?He really didn't, no. Did you really read/watch that fight and think to yourself "HOLY FUCKING SHIT GAARA IS SO STRONG"? It was an underdog putting up an incredible fight against someone with so much more going for them, only barely losing. Again, if you cannot see the difference between Lee vs Gaara and Madara vs the 5 Kage, you are simply retarded.
>>291413736You think Hinata wouldn't want to learn mokuton too if she was there?
>>291413736>>291413751
>>291413736this damn shipbait tease panel. Hinata was on the chapter cover, too. Kishi and his editors knew exactly what they were doing.
>>291413751>He barely knows Choji, Shino, Tenten etc He doesn't know them any more than he knows Hinata.>99% of Naruto and Sakura's conversations revolve around Sasuke, the guy Sakura is actually in love with.Yeah that was my original point. That could've been the stage to build something off of, unlike the sheer nothingburger that is Naruto and Hinata's relationship throughout the series.
>>291413834>character caring for friend of opposite sex = shipping baitYou might genuinely be mentally ill.
>>291413751>99% of Naruto and Sakura's conversations revolve around Sasuke, the guy Sakura is actually in love with.in fairness, Naruto is also in love with him, along with like half of the rest of the cast.
>>291413444It's called character development anon. Getting over Sasuke would've worked wonders for Sakura's character. Even the lowest narutards agree on that part
>>291413776Adding to your post, prior to the preliminares Lee jobbed to Dosu and got his kick blocked by Temari who then calls him pathetic, nobody thought Lee would do that well until he Kishi decided to introduce the leg weights.Lee vs Gaara glazes Lee more than it does Gaara.
>>291413776>did you really see that and think gaara is fucking strong?yes? he was untouchable. he did look fucking strong after witnessing what lee did to him and coming out unscathed anyway.madara looks fucking strong too after witnessing guy go 8 gates on him and still coming out undefeated.why do you think jobbing means means getting stomped?if anything, making the loser look strong and formidable is an even more effective use of jobbing than just using throwaway fodder characters to make someone look strong.fucking retard.
>>291407695>also. damn, where do you get those things? Mito wasn't built like that
>>291413858The shiptease is Yamato saying "The truth is, you-"
>>291413880I think anons point is more so that we already saw Gaara's sand shield beforehand so him beating Lee doesn't look as impressive as Lee doing anything to Gaara.
>>291413875Yet it never happned
>>291413875You can still have that and not have her end up with Naruto.Also, wouldn't you say Naruto moving on would create character development for him?
>>291413941my point is just because someone looks impressive in a fight doesn't mean that don't still job if they lose to build someone up.tell me. what were your expectations for gaara's later battles after seeing how he tanked everything lee threw at him, no matter how impressive lee was?this fight built up gaara too. not just lee. lee losing here, built up gaara.
>>291413880>why do you think jobbing means means getting stomped?Because that's what it means. The 5 Kage jobbed to Madara. Guy simply lost to Madara. Everyone walked away from the Guy/Madara fight thinking how absolutely god tier Guy was. No one walked away thinking "WOW MADARA IS EVEN STRONGER THAN WE THOUGHT!"
>>291413776>"HOLY FUCKING SHIT GAARA IS SO STRONG"Yeah? That was clearly one of points of the fight. Lee was using DBZ levels of attacks on Gaara and he still walked out of the fight without a scratch. We didn't know about his sand armor before the fight, and the fight showed us that he still had something up his sleeve in case his autosand defense failed. >>291413879>Lee jobbed to DosuTenten then says he could've beaten all of Dosu's team if he was alone.>got his kick blocked by Temari who then calls him patheticHe kicked while heavily suppressing himself. Christ you're so fucking retarded.
>>291413875Might as well let it tumbleweed if you're gonna post shit like this. Holy.
>>291413848>He doesn't know them any more than he knows Hinata.Yes, he does. He knows Hinata struggled to change like he did, and he learned that she secretly admired him. He didn't know that about the other genin. >That could've been the stage to build something off ofHow is that a stage to build any sort of romance off of when nearly all of their relationship is about Naruto wanting to get Sakura's crush back for her, while Sakura doesn't give a shit about him romantically at all? How is that "something", but Naruto and Hinata having a similar starting goal in being failures that want to change is a "nothingburger"? Do you really not see how hypocritical and moronic you sound?
>>291413974Yeah kishi can't write.>>291413983>You can still have that and not have her end up with Naruto.Sure. My point was about the potential for it IF Sakura's character was developed that is. >Also, wouldn't you say Naruto moving on would create character development for him?He did move on though. I'm not some narusakufag so I never thought of Naruto's crush as anything more than comic relief. That doesn't stop Naruto from developing feelings for Sakura at a later time in a more mature manner. Certainly a lot more potential for it given their dynamic vis a vis team 7 and Sasuke compared to whatever was going on with Hinata
>>291414007>away thinking "WOW MADARA IS EVEN STRONGER THAN WE THOUGHT!"he did look unbeatable though. after every opponent he defeated, including guy. each win made him look more undefeatable.if madara could survive 8 gates guy who do you think could beat madara in an actual fight?
>>291413993Yeah, i agree, but this discussion start with Tobi and Danzo's guards.>>291414016>Tenten then says he could've beaten all of Dosu's team if he was aloneExcept Lee did not lose because he took a hit from Sakura but rather because he got cheapshotted by Dosu's sound and hurt himself with primary lotus.>He kicked while heavily suppressing himself.We did not know about his weights until the moment they were introduced in his fight with Gaara.Also, the weights should have made his kick stronger lmao.
>>291409318tickle fetish GODS, is it our time?
>>291411564the girl he liked in high school married his brother.
>>291414190>He did move on thoughOff-screen...inbetween the war and chapter 700.>That doesn't stop Naruto from developing feelings for Sakura at a later time in a more mature manner.That would narratively suck, you have Naruto move on only for him to go back to love the same girl?
SAKUROOOOOOS!HINASURAAAAAA!
>>291413317which he later admits is just him running away from responsibility because he doesn't trust himself with it. and he stops seriously calling everything a drag after he beats Hidan. he does it as a joke a few times but it's just that; a comedic callback rather than him trying to get out of doing stuff.
>>291414138I'm sorry but you have no right you use the word "moronic" when you are comparing the sheer emotional weight of getting Sasuke back from a rogue terrorist who wants to kill him ,for sakura and Naruto. And compare it to some pep talk that Naruto, the talk no Jutsu master gave to some random hyperventilating genin in her time of need.
>>291413736who the hell is Shodai?
>>291414378He is referring to Hashirama. Shodai-Hokage
My god the pacing is really terrible by now aint it?This is the third chapter where literally nothing progressed
>>291414351The terrorist Sasuke willingly sided with and then killed?Naruto and Sakura didn't stop obsessing over when there was no danger for Sasuke.
>>291414267>Off-screen...inbetween the war and chapter 700He was pretty much over sakura by shippuden chapter 1 unless I'm missing something.>That would narratively suck, you have Naruto move on only for him to go back to love the same girl?Of course he won't move on but his love would develop over time from sheer pervy fuckery to actual caring. That's another kind of character development.
Why do people even care so much about NaruSaku? Naruto’s crush barely got any focus. There isn’t a single moment where he even has an internal thought about it in part 2 compared to all the times he had monologue about his feelings for Sasuke. You remove his crush, nothing about the manga changes, it’s completely insignificant to his character development. Sakura never even so much as returned his feelings and it has zero effect on her character development. It’s a nothing burger of a ship that’s relies entirely on shallow “hints”.>>291414190You’re definitely a NaruSakufag and don’t realize how retarded you are to defend a ship based on your headcanon “potential” it has based on something that the author never intended to write? You can easily used the same argument for why NaruHina works, such as just making them interact more.
>>291414336>he stops saying that but he actually doesn'tYou sound like a retard trying to cope and pretend that this character is actually very unique and well written when he clearly isn't.
>>291411905Being the MC doesn't mean that every other character has to revolves around you. Part 1 didn't do this.
>>291414465>Why do people even care so much about NaruSaku?Sakurafags are so delusional and anally devastated they still haven't recovered from a movie that is 10+ years old. Reminder that they burned all their Naruto merch when The Last released out of sheer seethe.
Ino is just like Orihime. They both get better with age.
>>291414465I think Sakura growing to love Naruto is more thematic with him being ostracized from the village, but I don’t really care that much, and the time it would take to develop could easily go to NaruHina. >>291414515Maybe a hundred did that if you’re being generous
>>291413369Dan is so lucky
>>291414465>headcanon “potential” It's not headcanon if it exists in the actual events of the manga and the character dynamics it establishes.>based on something that the author never intended to write?I don't think even he knew what he intended to write given how shitty naruhina turned out. >You can easily used the same argument for why NaruHina works, such as just making them interact more.Except I literally did. I claimed specifically that both outcomes would've been underdeveloped but Narusaku was still more logical given what we had in the manga. Sure you can make naruhina work but you'd have to develop it from scratch, meanwhile the seeds for Narusaku were more firmly established. One anon said that Naruto and Sakura spend only two arca together in shippuden. But that's still two arca more than the time he spends with Hinata. Ultimately Naruto and Hinata have very little common narrative wise binding them
>>291414206>Except Lee did not lose because he took a hit from Sakura but rather because he got cheapshotted by Dosu's sound and hurt himself with primary lotus.Tenten says he wouldn't have lost, the story presents it as fact, not as Tenten overestimating him. >We did not know about his weights until the moment they were introduced in his fight with Gaara.That was literally one kick, not a whole fight. And we already knew from Dosu's fight that Lee initially fight while suppressing himself.>Also, the weights should have made his kick stronger lmao.That's not how it works, retard. The weights would limit his speed and prevent him from delivering a powerful kick. Genuinely, how are you this stupid? You don't know what the word "jobber" means, and you can't even comprehend extremely basic physics that even a preschooler could understand. You're such a pathetic moron.
This thread is ass god damn
the chinese are seething about naruto live actionis there anybody who even likes those changes?
>>291414652Me
>>291414602>but Narusaku was still more logical given what we had in the mangaNta but you haven't been able to show one single example of what makes their ships more "logical". You'd have to heavily rework Sakura's character into not being infatuated with Sasuke, which would drastically change her arc. Aka your own shitty headcanon. You're so mentally ill, holy fuck.
>>291414668let me guess, a sakuratard?
>>291414455>The terrorist Sasuke willingly sided with and then killed?Neither Naruto nor sakura see it that way. They never hold Sasuke accountable for any of his actions. >Naruto and Sakura didn't stop obsessing over when there was no danger for Sasuke.I don't see how that changes anything. The story is not just about saving sauce from oro but also bringing him to the light side. There is ample ground there for Naruto and Sakura to develop feelings for each other because it's something the two of them can truly understand
>>291414696People have been bitching about her for 20 years, why should they not take efforts to make her less controversial?
>shippers can't stop seething how her not getting with Naruto>her white knights constantly act like the anime ruined her character even though all it did was build up on what she was like in the manga>they most likely bot polls to make her rank higher Is there any character with a more unhinged fanbase than this one?
>>291414602There isn’t a single even or narrative in the manga supporting anything you’re saying about NaruSaku, specifically Sakura moving in from Sasuke and loving Naruto. No seeds were established. You don’t need to develop NaruHina from scratch since they narratively have more common with each other as both being failures and sharing nindo and both having positive opinions about each other. >>291414568Sakura having growing out of her dislike of Naruto and learning to appreciate and support his dream without romantic feelings being involved perfectly matches the theme of the manga, retard
>>291414704>I don't see how [girl never stops obsessing over guy B while guy A tries to bring back guy B after he already accepted girl likes guy B and not him] changes anythingMaybe you just have low functioning autism or are mentally retarded if you don't see how Naruto and Sakura have negative chemistry and you'd have to heavily rebuild their characters to make their romance work.
>>291414690Naruto and Sakura surviving Zabusa and forest of death is not my headcanon. Naruto promising sakura that he will bring Sasuke back is not my headcanon. Nor is both of them fighting together to save Gara and then trying to rescue Sasuke. >You'd have to heavily rework Sakura's character into not being infatuated with SasukeYes that was my whole point. And in the events we have there was solid ground for that. Meanwhile Naruhina has no ground to stand on that's why it turned out so stale.Of course, being a narutard, you are too low iq to see the point I'm making here because just like the author , subtlety and insight is beyond an animal like you. Can you even turn an apple inside your head?
>>291414821Yeah, self inserting Narutards like yourself who write a bunch of bullshit like that and see nothing wrong with it. Naruto lost, btw.
pinkshitting? Not even once
>you'd have to heavily rebuild their characters to make their romance work.>What's character developmentNarutards amaze me in ways I never thought was possible. The sheer lack of imagination it takes to understand a simple point that shared events can bring two people closer is confounding. Am I talking to actual children here?
>>291415010No but if you’re doing that why not just spend the time on NaruHina and SasuSasu?
>>291410298This. Jumping in these threads once every couple of weeks really cemented for me how bad of a manga Naruto really is. Kishi is an amazing artist, but you can clearly see the quality of his drawing and composition degrading tremendouly on the second half of shippuden. Whomever was feeding him good ideas must have been long gone by that point. How do you go from writing the pain arc to the absolute slop that came after? Naruto's success really rides on part 1 and its anime being phenomal with a godly ost and quality extended media like the video games and so on...
>>291414821Hinatafags are equally as bad
Cringe it's Evangelion all over again.
>>291414895>Naruto and Sakura surviving Zabusa and forest of death is not my headcanon. Sasuke was part of that too. Just because they were teammates doesn't automatically mean they were meant to be together.>Naruto promising sakura that he will bring Sasuke back is not my headcanon. Naruto promising to bring her crush back isn't ground for romance no matter how much your retard brain tries to say otherwise. Same with them working together to rescue Sasuke.>And in the events we have there was solid ground for that.It's not "solid ground" if you completely have to rework the ground for that character you moron. Going by this logic Naruto had as much romantic potential to be with Sakura as he had with Ino or Karin.
>>291414821>Is there any character with a more unhinged fanbase than this one?Yes, Itachi. An Itachitard* actually hijacked the manga to make Itachi the coolest, most perfect character who gets wanked by everyone from Hashirama to Obito.*Kishimoto
>>291415118>Rebuild sands off Asuka’s edges and makes Rei a straightforward love interest >Live action sands off Sakura’s edges and makes Sasuke her straightforward love interest It’s like poetry, it rhymes
>>291413597We literally never saw him attempt an actual fight before that, retard. Him fighting two of Danzo's top men was supposed to show how strong he was. Aka they were jobbers.
>>291415145I wish he was just a psycho. He was more fun that way.
>>291414336Yeah, what >>291414467 said. You're retarded.
>>291415145You jest, but him regretting killing his clan and the reveal that he was essentially blackmailed into it went over a lot of reader’s heads
the blackpill is realizing naruto had better chemistry with male characters like sasuke and gaara.
>>291415170Him fighting Team 7/8 was basically the same exact showing. Danzo's goons didn't showcase anything new.
>>291415223It's true.If either of those 2 were girls it would have been all over for Sakura and Hinata
>>291415234Not it wasn't, but he wasn't trying to take any of them down. Danzo's goons showed that he could actually defeat and kidnap strong people if he wanted to.
>>291407585>you don't understand Sakura...>you're a WOMANCHUDimoto strikes again
>>291415250pretty much... and i say that as someone who constantly shits on naruto's lack of relationship with sasuke and gaara.the early dynamic with sasuke was fine at least and naruto had one REALLY good scene with gaara at the end of their fight
This movie is about make Sakura the topic of discussion for many more years.
>>291415286wasnt there that very gay scene where Gaara holds hands with Naruto by proxy with his sand
>>291414905>self inserting NarutardsHoly shit you're literally in every thread whenever someone shits on Sakura's character, always using the same strawman insult that doesn't even make sense. Are you the same person that's spamming "kill yourself narutard" or "tumbleweeds" in literally every Naruto thread? There can't be anyone else as autistically retarded as you.
>>291415331yeah, and naruto blushes
>>291415046>spend the time on NaruHina and SasuSasu?You can. That was not my point. My point was that given what we actually got story wise NaruSaku already had more potential given the time they spend together and their dynamic regarding Sasuke through which they can understand each other. Sasusaku could work but it's my personal preference for sakura that she moves on from him irrespective of whether she ends up with Naruto.What does Naruhina have in comparison? Naruto and Hinata don't have any shared goals, they don't spend much time together, they don't go on missions. There's one scene of them fighting and putting their lives on the line for each other's compared to multiple ones for Narusaku. The only thing you got here are scenes that kishi forced in because he became sure of the outcome or literal childish bullshit like this>>291414869>as both being failures and sharing nindo and both having positive opinions about each other.
don't forget how naruto poked gaara's butt either or kissed sasuke
>>291415223It's not even a blackpill. Naruto is very gay.
>>291415332It does make sense though. Thinking “I am naruto” is the only reason people bitch about Sakura to that extent
>>291407778Nameless heroes.
>>291415343>>291415331cute
>>291415371Sasuke and Gaara are both lucky guys.
naruto got panic attacks over potentially losing sasuke
>>291415370>Naruto and Hinata don't have shared goals At this point I don't even think you actually read the series.
>>291415435hinata...
>>291415426Very cute but also that femgaara looks kinda bad
naruto and sasuke wore matching necklaces of each other
>>291415414Narusakufags are more likely to be self inserters since they'd selfinsert as the mc getting with the girl they like. How are you too retarded to even realise that? Or did you already realise that and are simply in denial about how pathetic you are?
>>291415498I’ve heard that was just a gay looking advertisement for real jewelry being sold
>>291415331
>>291415370>Naruto and Hinata don't have any shared goals>The goals they have in common like their nindo or them being failures don't count because uh they're literally childish or something How can you be this much of a disingenuous retard, goddamn.
naruto cried over gaara dying despite threatening to kill him last they saw each other. all naruto thought about then was gaara. and gaara gave an obama speech to unite the 5 great villages into fighting for naruto.
>>291415505Sakura hate is 9 times out of 10 through the lens of self insertion though. Yes, the women in the HOAD wanted to fuck naruto, yes, shippers self-insert. It doesn’t mean haters don’t.
>>291415426>>291415535How awkward would it be for Shukaku and Kurama?
>>291415535Why was he making that expression, jfc
>>291407684I wish we had gotten a Tsunade tummy shot, Kishi loved showing us Sai's.
>>291415438I had a panic attack over my male friend moving away. It's not gay to fear losing your best friend. He was my whole world and support. I felt so lonely after he left and had nobody to hold my hand and hug me (not romantically, just reassuringly like you would a family member so not in a gay way, but if I were gay I'd definitely be attracted to him and objectively he's incredibly attractive)God I miss him.
>>291415565idk. i wish gaara kept him though so we could see shukaku and kurama reluctantly have to accept each other's presence while naruto and gaara do gay shit
>>291415607I think you're gay.
>>291407620Good Lord every chapter has been a flashback
gaara became a good guy and got all over his issues and schizophrenia after naruto poked his butt.
>>291410441You have so much shit taste, god damn.
the butt poke was so good that gaara just became am obsessive naruto stan afterwards
>>291415607Sounds pretty gay
>>291410298>Asuma's babyLiteral who
>>291415607>i'm not gay but i'd fuck him if i wasanon... i have something to tell you...
kankuro and temari should've bullied gaara for acting obsessive and gay for naruto
>Anon... I need to repopulate my clan... And you're going to help me.
>>291415807the worst part is sasuke looks feminine enough for this to not look out of place
>>291415807Karin got stacked
>>291415801he was his first friend, damn. I like NaruGara as much as the next guy but he’d obviously care about the guy who cried over him
>>291414467>>291415197>can't tell the difference between an honest statement of a character's beliefs and a gag lineholy projection
>>291415863you gotta admit that gaara did get obsessive over naruto though. i mean, i would too if anyone genuinely cared about me, but i find it hard to believe young teenagers wouldn't tease their younger brother at all for becoming an obsessed fanboy for someone. especially since gaara calmed down and would accept it without being mean to them afterwards.
>>291414336>which he later admits is just him running away from responsibilityBut that's literally not fucking true, even in SRA he still went through with the mission and took it seriously even if he complained that it was a drag without trying to get out of it. Hell, that was even the case when they were chasing after Sasuke and Gaara in the Chunin Exams.You know a character is shit if you need to insert this much headcanon into the story to make him seem well written.
There's no way Kishi isn't a closet case
>>291415970This may be gay, but you cannot deny it’s kino
>>291415948>Hell, that was even the case when they were chasing after Sasuke and Gaara in the Chunin Exams.Actually scratch that, that was even the case in the fucking FOREST OF DEATH, when he dragged himself to fight Dosu's team, even though he didn't want to, all because Ino did it. He literally never had an actual problem with wanting to run away from responsibility. The only possible time he did was when he threw the match against Temari.
>>291416031>it’s kinoNot really. It's just gay.
>>291411111hot
Childish bullshit about relating to each other over being failures aside, there's another point to note...NaruHina could work but you'd have to develop their relationship seperately from the main narrative. Meanwhile NaruSaku can be pretty much baked into the main narrative. All Sakura has to do is realise that she has more common grounds with the guy who's been with her in crucial times, and actually cares about bringing an old friend back in a world that is trigger happy to condemn him. Than her childhood emo crush who abandoned ber and whom she hasn't even seen for years.
>>291415970why didn't he just do it? nobody was around, nobody was watching, he could have given naruto a quick kiss on the lips and nobody would have ever knownfujosisters... I'm so tired of being denied
>>291412240Don't even try it, average old movie had female characters with far more depth than Naruto whores.
>>291414610>Tenten says he wouldn't have lost, the story presents it as fact, not as Tenten overestimating him.Tenten's words do not match what actually happened, Sakura being there literally didn't matter lmao.>And we already knew from Dosu's fight that Lee initially fight while suppressing himself.Doesn't exactly mean Kishimoto always had those weights in mind when writing those previous fights.>That's not how it works, retard. The weights would limit his speed and prevent him from delivering a powerful kick.Those weights literally made huge craters on the floor on top impressing everyone in room including Temari herself.Face it, Lee wasn't all that prior to his fight with Gaara.>You don't know what the word "jobber" meansJobber is a wrestling term used to describe wrestlers who look strong and are paid to lose so the opponent looks better in comparison, later on other fandoms would adopt this term and fuse it with the "worf effect".
>>291416123sasuke already kissed naruto and knew what he tasted like so there was no point
Hiashi won.
>>291416114I think Sasuke having something to return to in Konoha, a family, eventually his daughter Salad, was intentional. Otherwise he basically just fucks off with no reason to ever come back besides checking in with his bestie.
>>291414704>The story is not just about saving sauce from oro but also bringing him to the light side.How was Hebi Sasuke not in "the light side" when he was hunting Itachi?>There is ample ground there for Naruto and Sakura to develop feelings for each other because it's something the two of them can truly understandNaruto and Sakura aren't even on equal grounds when it comes to save Sasuke.
kankuro and temari should've given gaara a hug after he became good. he was in pain all the time and needed a hug.
>NarutoGaara fangirls suddenlyDon't worry you'll have your moment in the next volume.
>>291414821>they most likely bot polls to make her rank higherPost was good until this point.
>>291416255>suddenlyanon...
>>291414895>Naruto and Sakura surviving Zabusa and forest of death is not my headcanon.They never fought side by side in neither of those segments.>Nor is both of them fighting together to save Gara and then trying to rescue Sasuke.Still didn't fight together.

>>291416306...
>>291415535what is this yaoi doujinshi page doing here in my daily Naruto manga thread?
>>291416114>Meanwhile NaruSaku can be pretty much baked into the main narrative.That doesn't automatically make it a good thing. Sasusaku is already baked into the narrative and it's still a terrible ship. Temari and Shikamaru isn't baked into the narrative and it's a better ship than anything involving Sakura. You seriously sound so fucking autistic and pathetic with how hard you're obsessed with this fanmade pairing. You can't even properly explain why Naruto and Hinata relating to each other through their struggles is seen as childish. You just hate it because it goes against your own fanfic.I'm serious. You're a mentally ill moron. It's embarrassing.
>>291415170>An akatsuki member with mangekyo sharingan who, as far as we knew, was THE legendary MADARA, needs to fight some random goons of less powerful clans so the viewers can see how powerful he isAre you hearing yourself?

Only 50 chapters until Samui finally returns!

>>291416031Yes it is 100% kino and 100% gay
>>291416375I can't wait!

>>291416414My brother in christ, the base sharigan doesn't make you intangible, it HAD to be mangekyo.>Madara was at best sub old man Hiruzen tier.Which would still logically put him far above Danzo's guards.
>>291416469>My brother in christ, the base sharigan doesn't make you intangible, it HAD to be mangekyo.It wasn't certain that the intangibility was a Sharingan power. The fact that Tobi spammed it even though Mangekyou powers use a shitload of chakra and make you go blind faster pointed against it. We didn't know about the magic of Hashirama cells then.
>>291415704That was uncalled for. Asshole.
kankuro and temari have gaara his ch 700 haircut because they got tired of gaara and naruto being gay
>>291415704Do I know you?

>>291415704You say it as if liking an unpopular character is a crime worthy of cancel culture.
>>291416533Anon, this was late part 2, it wasn't going to be anything but the sharingan.
>>291415948he did try and get out of the Sasuke Retrieval mission. >>291416034he only went into that fight with the Sound ninja because Ino went in. he would've left team seven to their fate otherwise. a consistent pattern of a lack of initiative, which he openly acknowledges. it isn't until Asuma dies when he says he's going to step up and be a man and stop looking for excuses to get out of shit. It's cute how you're pretending like literally every single person who worked with him didn't call him a lazy bum who needed to get his act together.
>>291415807When you think about it, it's kinda unreal how much more fitting Sasuke's personality is for a woman.
>>291416937but he doesn't singlemindedly talk about marriage?
>>291416867>he did try and get out of the Sasuke Retrieval missionWhen? He constantly went on about how he couldn't just sit around and bitch because he was the team's captain and was responsible for everyone's lives.>he only went into that fight with the Sound ninja because Ino went in. he would've left team seven to their fate otherwise.In other words he still got over his lack of initiative and did what he needed to do after Ino threw herself at the enemy. Which only happened due to Ino having a personal relationship with Sakura. If that was another Konoha team like Team 8 or something, no one from his team would have tried to jump in to face the Sound ninja. Shikamaru's lack of initiative clearly wasn't an issue here.>literally every single person who worked with him called him a lazy bum who needed to get his act together.Choji never did. I think only Asuma and Ino did it. Everyone else kept praising him as a 200 iq mega genius.
does it seem weird how gaara's character arc is all about love or is it fine? does it seem like a female character would be more fitting here or is a male fine?
>>291417133I think you need to stop being a porn addict
>>291417160i said nothing about porn.
i feel like if gaara was a girl, people would complain about how obsessed with love the character is.
What happened to "there are no shortcuts in life"?
>>291417038Also in regards to the Forest of Death, it's not like he was friendly with anyone from Team 7 at the time, nor was he responsible for their safety, so him not wanting to intervene or to risk his own team's safety made sense. If he really had a problem with wanting to avoid confrontation, he wouldn't have kept egging Ino on over whether she wants to help Sakura or not. But he did, which is why they ended up jumping in to save them.
>>291417133Always thought Gaara's uncle was a girl. Honestly doesn't change anything except makes the scenes with him less gay.
>>291407482Can we reset back to chapter 1? I missed the last 648 days

>>291413736nata won
>>291417484we were talking about if gaara's character would work better as a girl or not. or what would be different.i was basically saying in my last post, "would gaara still get competetive with sasuke about proving who's superior?"
>>291417567>we were talking about if gaara's character would work better as a girl or notRead the post slower, you spaz. We were talking about his Uncle
>>291417579he has an uncle?!
>>291417379I think the idea was that his uncle looked exactly like his mother who he never knew. Kind of like losing her all over again. And he couldn’t be a girl because otherwise he wouldn’t be a credible threat. >>291417494Mmm, nata feet
>>291417657Why do Ninja wear open toe shoes? Seems very impractical for their line of work
>>291417353and it looks like you've been camping the thread all day as always
>>291417714Not really. Been watching the games and come here in-between commercials and halftime. You're just a very obvious pathetic faggot. This is all you have lol
>>291416114As opposed to childish bullshit of Naruto and Sakura relating to each other over their shared obsession of a boy who they barely spent time with and whom condoned them? Sakura suddenly falling for Naruto because he’s nice to her after hundreds of chapters of clearly finding him unattractive as a romantic partner doesn’t make her look any better.
>>291417706I guess for easier tree/water walking

>>291417910No he doesn’t. Sai mentioned that people tend to smile at people they like (he specifically used “Suki”, where Sakura and Hinata used “daisuki” in there confessions) and if Naruto would tell her how he felt, and Naruto says something about the promise. Never does Naruto say he’s in love with Sakura.
they see me tumblin

>>291413273>this is a healthy relationshipSome of you guys have never had a fat ugly girl try her luck and confess to you and it shows. This is an embarassing start to a relationship, Nardo has no idea what is going on and is basically just being polite. He's more interested in discussing his fight with Neji. He is only even acknowledging her because shes related to him.Compare this to his true crush Sakura, who he likes so much he is even willing to bring Sasuke back for her. In any other story, the girl of his dreams being left abandoned in an abusive relationship is seen as a tragic end. Only in Kishiworld can.you just silver medal the autist who grew up with big cans.

>>291418537It meant how could he confess to her he liked her if he couldn’t keep his promise. Which doesn’t mean he loved her. Only liked her, which nobody is disputing. And that moment was only there to gaslight Sai into thinking Naruto’s feelings were more important than they actually were
>>291413776>only barely losingWe all meme about Lee and hes a fun character but come onLee used his strongest attack and barely broke through a sand armor we have no reason to believe Gaara wouldn't have replenished instantly. The whole point was playing Lee up as this Dragonball tier fighter and having him gruesomely lose.
>>291418703Holy fuck, you’re illiterate. Naruto literally says he wants to get Sasuke back for himself and he’d do it even without the promise. That was half the point of the fake confession.
>>291418780Anon, but that logic Naruto never loved Sakura anyway.
>>291418836Yes, retard anon, my original point is that Naruto never loved Sakura. He liked her, it was only ever a crush that was never that important to his character. He was way more focused on his relationship with Sasuke.
>>291418860Then why did you say "shippuden" instead of part 1?
Naruto was the last battle shonen manga I read and I dropped it and Bleach both in the mid 2000e because these series always make the mistake of introducing a gorillion characters with cool powers then doing nothing with them, making them feel like padding/filler

>>291418703>Nardo has no idea what is going on and is basically just being politeMy brother in christ, she's fucking spelling it out.Sure Naruto is retarded, but he's clearly not spacing out there.
>>291419188>Hanbabi
>>291418205You're not clever. You're not even trying to be clever too.
>>291418703Anon, Naruto is the ugly duckling of this relationship, specially in part 1.This would be more like if big titty plain jane confessed to the ugly retard.
>>291418932Then you shouldn't have butted in.

Step on me, Rin!!
I think we can agree this it's the worst part of the manga right?
>>291420479Are you new?
>>291420479Nah. The Five Kage Summit was the worst. Team 7 reaches absolute rock bottom there both thematically and literally.
I think we can all agree this is the worst Naruto daily/storytime/general this board has seen
>>291420552The 5 Kage summit was at least entertaining. This war is just bad. The only arc that contends with it is the Tenchi Bridge
>>291420479The Pain arc is unironically the worst part. The theme shift in "ending the cycle of hatred" being followed up by Naruto's enemy that just destroyed the village killing himself and undoing all of his damage is indefensible. Naruto's answer being "I don't know the answer, I'm just going to keep believing in a world free of the cycle", then his issues STILL being solved with the death of his enemy is horrendous. Pain just deciding to kill himself is so fucking lame.

Very tumbleweeded thread
I love funny and comfy things I'm so glad I found this general
>>291421174Your general sucks my guy
>>291420345>>291420843There really could be some good giantess roleplay in this series since you can already disguise your body as something that likes 10x smaller than your actual size
Why is this general so bad?
Why is this edition so great!
>>291421392Because OP is a fatherless no-life faggot who hates his mom
>>291407620This feels like how Sandro just forced people to care for Koga
>>291408086I realized back in 2012 at age 12 when I could find like no actual feats aside from bullying Sasuke
>>291421532>I could find like no actual feats aside from bullying SasukeI thought it was a pretty cool introduction. Too bad Kishi never did anything worthy with her after that
Rollin rollin rollinKeep them tumbleweeds rollin
>>291421189You sure eat a lot of it for how bad you say it tastes
>>291421189Yeah. I think we should get a new OP
YOU ARE MY FRIEND
>>291420719it all started going downhill once part 2 started but the war arc is the absolute worst and retroactively ruined actual good parts. but yes, the pain arc sucks too.
>>291421878Weird, didn't seem like there was a problem when OP didn't bother to put on his trip...almost like this whole drama is performative at this point.
comfy
>>291422066I agree. Anon was a much better OP
>>291422107>Reading comprehension
>>291422107Facts. His threads were never tumbleweeds like these

>>291422514We all do
>>291422107100%. Especially since he still makes Fagkon seethe>>291422599
>>291416200The only intention here was to have an Uchiha for the next generation so that they can keep on milking the series. In fact it's more likely NaruHina and SasuSaku were established purely for marketing reasons.
>>291416237>How was Hebi Sasuke not in "the light side" when he was hunting Itachi?He is consumed by revenge and still not loyal to Konoha. Naruto was clearly in the frame that Sasuke needed to be saved from himself if not oro. Something that becomes apparent in 5K>Naruto and Sakura aren't even on equal grounds when it comes to save SasukeWdym. They both seemed pretty obsessed about it.
>>291416290What do you want them to do, hold hands while they fight? They entered those missions as a team, had each other's back many times. Of course Sasuke is also involved in the first two since they are a trio but that just feeds more into my theory about them having common ground over saving Sasuke that literally no one else understands.
>>291410575They were about to give up in the last chapter.
>>291416346>SasusakuThe issue with this ship is Sasuke not sakura. His character arc just doesn't allow for developing feelings for Sakura. Maybe Sakura's love and his own feelings could've factored in, equal to if not more prominantly than Naruto's friendship into bringing Sasuke back. But that would require more re-writing around Sasuke than NaruSaku. >Temari and Shikamaru isn't baked into the narrative and it's a better ship than anything involving Sakura.It's a side plot really. The only reason it seems to work more than NaruHina is because the former two can talk like human beings, meanwhile a one to one between Naruto and Hina is almost impossible given how exaggerated their characters are and their personalities being poles apart. >You can't even properly explain why Naruto and Hinata relating to each other through their struggles is Oh. So you are the child who said that the one interaction Naruto and Hinata had as children about being failure outcasts (something Naruto would've felt regarding any failure outcast) has more ground for a full on relationship than all the shit Naruto and Sakura went through together. I believe it's your obsession wih NaruHina that makes you lick so desperately at stake breadcrumb Naruhina moments like that.
>>291417768>As opposed to childish bullshit of Naruto and Sakura relating to each other over their shared obsession of a boy who they barely spent time with and whom condoned them?I am not responsible for their strong feelings for Sasuke. But the fact is, in the manga we got they do exist. And yes common hope, grief and desperation sounds a bit more logical and less childish than whatever was going on with NaruHina, which was not much to begin with. >Sakura suddenly falling for Naruto because he’s nice to her after hundreds of chapters of clearly finding him unattractive as a romantic partner doesn’t make her look any better.Sakura doesn't have to suddenly drop her infatuation for Sasuke and start loving Naruto. It could be a slow burn that starts with Gaara rescue and culminates in the 5K summit. Basically what I'm saying is Sakura grows up, which would be a very logical progression for her character.

>>291407684You just know Tsunade has a fat pussy
>>291423346Fighting together would be enough.
>>291414568>Maybe a hundred did that if you’re being generousConsidering it got so bad that even one of Kishimoto's assistants had to go on Twitter to tell them to fuck off with their incessant screeching and that they can't change canon, I'd say there's far more. https://imgur.com/a/hall-of-devastation-now-reverse-chronological-order-because-imgur-sorting-is-fucked-XKwJ4/#0
>>291427355Sasuke would never treat the woman he loves and the matriach or the Uchiha clan that way
>>291427559Maybe not post marriage.>>291423658>And yes common hope, grief and desperation sounds a bit more logical and less childish than whatever was going on with NaruHina, which was not much to begin with.You'd have a point if that desperation and grief weren't caused by something equally as childish if not more.
>>291423548Anon, i think you way too deep into shipfaggotry.I get the overall point that because Sakura and Naruto share the same team and goal to save Sasuke that the narrative focuses on that they would objectively be easier to turn into a "good couple" whereas Hinata would need to be inserted in plot points where she doesn't "belong" or the story would need to derail itself to add her more.But like, you're acting like Naruto was being made into a caricature in order for him to interact with Hinata in part 1 and that's just wrong.
>>291423548it was pretty obvious hinata was the love interest due to Naruto's proximity to Sakura making his relationship with her into a friendship or sibling one. The more time you spend with a girl the less likely romance is to develop with her unless it is initiated at the beginning. I think the people who expected Naruto and Sakura to get together have no experience with women or romance.
How did this turn into shipping nonsense?
>>291429076Shipping nonsense is endemic to Naruto discussion everywhere in the web.
Naruto and Sakura was the most developed relationship in the show. it's factual
>>291407703You'd think that someone embarassed about their marital status would rather avoid the topic altogether, not bring it up at almost every opportunity.
>>291429760Women written by chuds do be like that.
Why do I hear the good the bad and the ugly playing?
Almost there.
