I'm dying for a huge Sakura moment. Seriously. We need something to make these Hinata-hags shut up. Ugh.
But Sakura is always important to Naruto. I think it's really important for her to be there now

[Flaming Lotus Petal]

I get that Naruto and Sakura are close and have canon backing and crap but I've never really been able to ship it. Simply because Sakura isn't the most important person in the world to Naruto.
Sasuke is.
Sasuke and Naruto just have a much more complex, interesting, confusing relationship, and I love it. They are bound by fate and destiny, Naruto and Sakura are bound by the past.

I just can't see Naruto and Sasuke as a sexual thing. Nor can I ever imagine it as a HEALTHY relationship. There's too many shadows.

Naruto and Sakura are each others light.

All right... I agree more with Vampiric Kitty Master than with Flaming Lotus Petal.
(Interesting names you two... awesome.)

Naruto and Sakura are not "bound to each other by the past"; they are bound to each other by their present. Anyone can drift apart after tragedy; Naruto/Sakura drifted closer together. It is the past which set them up for their present, and it will be their present which will become their past that will set them up for their future.

Naruto and Sasuke's relationship is confusing, maybe to you more interesting or more "complex". But I find that Naruto and Sakura is quite the complex itself. Have you forgotten their original attitudes toward one another? Sakura especially has come a long way from misunderstandings and rejection. These two evolve... grow, together.

Sasuke is very much lost to them. He may care about them, but Sasuke is no longer with them. Naruto and Sakura have only each other to rely upon. They are each other's light, to use Vampiric Kitty Master's example.

Furthermore--something that came to my mind just now--Sasuke isn't necessarily the person Naruto cares most about. He loves both Sasuke and Sakura. However, Sakura is still with him. Sakura didn't run away to join an adversary for power... Naruto made a promise to Sakura to "bring Sasuke back".

He can't go back on that promise; to do so would be to contradict his Shinobi way.
Naruto cared enough about Sakura to make that promise in the first place, despite his own feelings for the girl... which alone says a lot about Naruto.

Bottom line is that both Naruto and Sasuke and Naruto and Sakura have strong, complex relationships. However, Sasuke is a friend/rival/brother to Sasuke. I doubt Sakura is a sister to Naruto, but who really can say?

What she is... is his friend. What he is... is her friend. And that may or may not prove to be something more later on. It's already headed in that direction. But, regardless of what they do or don't become, Hinata's definately got nothing on Sakura cool . Kidding... although it's true....

Thousand pardons, but what?

What did I see? Could I believe?

i'm calling you slow, because we've already take it too far.

Internet much?

XDDD Why jpg?

It meant I was supposed to insert a picture of Slowpoke, but was too lazy too.


They do it all the time in the A/M/C.

...That what I saw that night was real, and not just fantasy...

Oh. XDDD Now I get it. -feels dumb-


Soo, who's totally hoping for lots of Sakura next chapter?

What did I see? Could I believe?

Actually, I'm hoping to hear from Tsunade,since she's still the most kickass kunoichi in the five ninja nations in my eyes. ^_^;;


But hell, it'd be nice to hear from Sakura too.

I wouldn't say that. Sasuke is... troubled, true. But everyone in the Naruto world is. Naruto HIMSELF is. Gaara is. Neji is. Lee is. Itachi is. Even some girls are. Just as someone is capable of loving, even living with/marrying, Naruto or Gaara or Neji or Lee or even Itachi.. so too can someone love or even engage in an intimate relationship with Sasuke. But, right now, Sasuke is still too young to really worry about such a relationship.

Sasuke isn't actually annoying or impossible or whatever you want to say... What Sasuke is... is ambitious. He's got a goal at all times. From one thing to the next... Sasuke is DEVOTED. How is that wrong or troubling? It isn't. It's admirable.

He NEEDS a specific type of person, not just anyone. Honestly, I can't see Sasuke with anyone that's shown-up thus far...

I guess so. We both stated our opinions; fair is fair.

I think it would be really hard to find someone who can deal with Sasuke, at least until he gets past most of his issues. Right now Karin's looking pretty good to be honest.

I really want Tsunade to talk to Naruto about her feelings for Jiraiya. They were rather implied, and the parallels between the Sannin and Team 7 are ridiculously obvious. It would be so sweet.

I'm willing to wait a few chapters for that though. I want Sakura to get back in the game and either have Hinata's death confirmed, or have Hinata realize that Sakura loves NAruto, accept it and make some little comment to Sakura that confuses her and makes her examine her own feelings for Naruto.

It's not just that Sasuke is troubled.
He's self destructive. He's thrown away anything that meant anything to him and every step he takes only hurts him more.
Unless he gets some seriously medication and some counseling I dont see how he'll ever be emotionally stable enough to be in a healthy functional relationship
