This chapter was only ok until Sai appeared and finally broke it down to Sakura. As much as I hated him when he first appeared, I really really like him now. THANK YOU SAI.

And, well, it was only logical for the hokage to lead the alliance...kyuubi is their only hope and that's Danzo's trump card.

Just recently I’ve realized the real profoundness of what Sai said. The same way Sai has a seal on his tongue which prevents him from telling the truth, Naruto has an unfulfilled promise that keeps him away from a confession. Sai hides his suffering and emptiness behind smiles, and Naruto hided his loneliness behind his pranks, and now is hiding both his physical and sentimental wounds in order to don’t worry Sakura. Sai was trained to never reveal his feelings. Naruto trained to one day be strong enough to be recognized and show his real self.

@Fai: The first thing I want to say is, I always hate you, Fai. But I am totally agreed with your comment in this thread.

sometimes you have to cut to the bone. now all that is left is how she will react.

this isn't a danzo plan. even if it was someone was bound to tell her eventually. sai just naturally likes to put things bluntly anyways.

Based on the Hinata reply, I seriously think all these references of "love" are in a family sense rather than serious relationship sense. I still feel like that other concept would be foreign to Naruto who's yet to have people really say they care about him.

That or I'm rooting HinaNaru too much. :P

Omj !!! Kankuro Using Sasori Was a Surprise but I Think That's Just Kankuro's Revenge,lol

What Sai Said To Sakura Was Just The Best,Sasuke And Sakura Are The Cause Of Naruto's Pain,Nice...But Why Did Kishimoto Have To Bring Up The Whole "Naruto's Feelings For Sakura" Thing When He Hasn't Said Anything About Naruto And Hinata's Feelings Towards Each Other...I Mean Sakura Usually Just Cries A Lot,While Hinata Actually Tried To Protect Naruto From Pein,Nearly Killing Herself...

Danzou To Lead !?

Yes, and this is probably one of the reasons he’s saying to Sai keep an eye on him. Although is weird that he asks this to a shinobi that disregarded his orders to kill Sasuke because of this same Naruto.

When Naruto was younger, he clearly had a crush on Sakura. Now is not very clear if it’s just a good friendship or love. I think one of the reasons for Kishimoto doing this is mainly to develop one character that wasn’t improving very much. I mean, Naruto lost his master and found his father; Sasuke killed his brother while discovering a horrible past; Sakura deserved a little drama too I guess.

Here are my few thoughts how will the love triangle of Naruto-Sakura-Hinata be solved:

1. One of the people from this love triangle dies and triangle is solved (and yeah, if Naruto dies, maybe we discover that Sakura and Hinata "play for the other team" and hit it off!)

2. Someone from the love triangle accepts other peoples relationship and everybody is happy.

3. Sasuke returns to the village and takes/kidnaps/recruits all the hot chicks from the village and starts his "MISSION" to repopulate his clan

4. Naruto uses his clones to "satisfy" both sides.

And, thats about it... I didnt want to go more into the alien abduction and conspiracy theories couse there would be lot more stuff here!

A strong Hinata x Naruto love relationship is highly unlikely. No matter how you look at it, Hinata's love for Naruto is unrequited. He may see her as a good friend, but he will never have deep feelings for her. Naruto has spent all his life around Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi, and Jiraya the most, so his bond and feelings towards them are probably the deepest. Naruto and Sakura have spent the most time together, protecting one another in search for their dear friend. It wouldn't be any surprise if they end up developing deeper feelings for each other, especially with how genuine and frank Naruto goes about making promises and doing things. Even if Sakura hadn't loved Naruto when they were younger, she will begin loving him after seeing how much he's done. After all, her love for Sasuke has always been puppy love, if anything. He never did anything for her and was always blinded by his crave for revenge.

As for Danzou, I can't escape the feeling that he is the mastermind behind this all. I even daresay that he may be the one manipulating everyone including the other kages and akatsuki. If things work out in his favor, he will have control over all the countries and take over the entire world. Of course, akatsuki and sasuke have their own plans. In any case, if Danzou is exactly as evil as I think, Naruto's village my be in a lot of trouble.

My prediction is that Naruto will never be able to bring Sasuke back. The village will never be able to fully forgive him for all that he's done, and Sasuke won't want to return to the village knowing this. At the climax of it all, Sakura will probably confess her true feelings to Naruto and stop him from trying to bring Sasuke back.

as evident from before, nothing is set in stone in this story. Naruto could end up with someone completely different from the obvious ones. As he matures, he seems to act a bit more fitting for a ninja of his caliber. Although his feelings for Sakura have not changed, we wont really see as to what extent he really wants to take it till all this fighting is over. what irks me though is how they made no real resolution to Hinata's confession as she was nearly killed. its still hangin' out there and no one seems to even note that anything happened. considering whats going on right now, its basically a given so this leads me to believe until everything is done...or before the final battle...

on a side note, has anyone really read through page four of this topic?

WONDERFUL!! Now we just need to wait another... 50... chapters... before the... love triangle between... Naruto... Sakura... and Hinata. UUUGGGH!! After over 400 chapters, confessions are appearing left and right, and yet Hinata and Sakura haven't even talked to each other about Naruto yet. Nor has Naruto thoguht about Hinata since the Pain invasion!


There has to be mutual feelings for there to be a love triangle.

i hate when hulk hogan is released in the middle of my manga chapter..

i always find it satisfying when i watch/read this chapter. i am guilty of being a total sakura hater but she has been so ungodly selfish the whole time it just pains me. and the more i think about it, the decision to kill sasuke seems really right. i know it will go against everything naruto has wished for this whole time but it is completely counter-intuitive of all his other ideals to let him live. i mean sasuke is a horrible and evil person. justice isn't a word to be thrown around in the narutoverse lightly but the only justice is if sasuke dies. i don't care who does it but the more i read in this story the more i think it is critical for the story. if naruto ever cared about sasuke he should kill him.

i think it was a really key part of the story that sai let it all out on sakura. and i dont think naruto even loves her. he loves what team 7 had and yea in the beginning he did think she was cute and stuff. if sakura had any dignity at all she will realize that sasuke needs to die too.

hell if naruto doesnt end up with hinata im burning this manga.
