And that's why they had to make a movie all about explaining the start of their relationship.
lol it's pretty weird seeing people framing this as "that bitch, she tried to manipulate Naruto!!1" when it was pretty obvious she was lying to him to get him to give up on Sasuke. There was no real personal benefit for her, she was doing it for Naruto. Sure, it backfired but it wasn't the selfish bitch move people seem to be interpreting it as.
As for Sasusaku you would think people would get that Naruto characters don't really hold serious grudges, not against Sasuke at least.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Posted the new/appreciation/finale thread I was working on, even though someone else already made a "Naruto is over" thread.
On the flip side, she completely ignored the fact that Naruto wanted to bring Sauske back as much as she did, even more probably then she did. She completely ignored that and assumed that he was doing it only for her, while telling a lie that was obviously could hurt Naruto.
Not saying she was a selfish bitch, but it was obvious she didn't understand Naruto's personality at all and felt like she did it to relieve some of her own guilt for sending Naruto on the task rather genuine concern.
It really doesn't matter considering she completely botched the assassination twice.
I wonder if Sasuke only having one child was a specific choice, to avoid any temptations of trying to obtain EMS.
I know the rock was probably disposed of, but you can never be too careful.
I would imagine he would probably go out of his way to make sure his kid never even found out about the regular MS.

We don't know, but logically, they should have Rinnegan. Or they just have normal pupils until they actually activate the power when the vains will appear.
Yes, we only saw two coffins in the manga, but Orochimaru did try to summon a third coffin, which was explicitly stated to be Minato's (volume 55, episode 520).
Kabuto explained that third one failed because Minato's spirit had been sealed away years prior, but that doesn't quite make sense, as that failure should have occurred during the preparation stage (actual Edo Tensei), not during the fight (Orochimaru was just summoning coffins).
He does think he managed to stop the third summon, actually:
"くっ 三人目は何としても " -> "どうにか三人目はくい止めたが "
(I guess that's what those hand seals were supposed to be about.)

Yeah, it's a weird way to frame it because she wanted to keep both of them from killing each other. That was the worst case scenario for her seeing both her teammates kill each other. So even if could be considered manipulation, she had damn good intentions. I mean seriously, right after that Naruto said that if they fought, they'd die together, lol.
And yeah, Naruto characters don't hold super serious grudges because they're ninjas, they know that it comes with the territory. It's business and all that to fight where necessary. I mentioned it in the other thread but Sasuke probably didn't want to fight either of them initially because I recall him saying that they shouldn't follow him. But as soon as they started interfering with what he was doing, he had to deal with them otherwise he couldn't achieve what he wanted. It's why I said the relationship makes sense if you think about it being all about business.
If anyone deserves anything, then Naruto deserves to be end up with Sakura. It's funny how everyone always seems to focus on what the female characters think, how they feel and what they want, but no one seems to care that Naruto has loved Sakura for 698 and not only did the girl he love up with his supposed best friend, who had done to earn that, he was was bereft of any closure whatsoever. None whatsoever.
As for Sakura, I have to ask whether you've read the same manga I have. Sakura was mean to Naruto a handful chapters at the start, if that, and that had nothing to do with the fact Naruto ostracised by the village and everything to do with her belief that all he did was get in her way of reaching Sasuke. She crossed the line and got told off for it by Sasuke. That was in chapter 3. Everything that followed was her realising how wrong she had been about him and her growing respect and admiration.
By Sakura's "manipulation" I assume you're referring to the fake confession. If so, then I remind you of the fact she was trying to make him happy. The promise he had to her and pursuing Sasuke was hurting Naruto. She felt guilty and wanted to take the weight of those burdens off him. To that end she was willing to kill Sasuke for him and give him what he wanted, which was her love. Though she was misguided, it was entirely selfless on her part.

Well, she just saved Naruto's life giving her chakra directly into his heart with her own hand.
Yeah, I'm really looking for it. Naruto deserves some real relationship after all. He and Hinata deserve to be happy.
Eh, Naruto wanted to chase Sasuke for his own reasons but it's undeniable that Sakura's wishes were a part of it. Of course she would feel guilty after years of seeing Naruto go through the same shit over Sasuke, especially if she felt like it had anything to do with her request. I'd like to think that if she truly didn't care about Naruto she'd constantly pressure him to chase Sasuke and put himself in danger.

Fuck both Hinata AND Sakura.
How about that?
The former didn't earn him and the latter doesn't deserve him.

For those angry at SakuraxSasuke,lets look at it this way.They have a kid way down the line not anytime soon.So who's to say if he made up to her or what kind of changes happened during this time skip? Kishi kinda left wiggle room with this time skip,also the same could be said about NarutoxHinata during the time skip even though the new movie will kick off this suspicion. You know now that I think about it,Naruto continuing in ODA/OVA/movie forms could be awesome.Especially if they show how everything has come to past.
Why Rinnegan? I thought you need chakra from both Indra's transmigrant as well as Ashura's transmigrant to activate the Rinnegan.
It bothers me how plain and open the environments are.
No environmental destruction sucks as well :/
They tried to do that with Storm 3...
Lets just say the game framerate imploded and everything was laggy as hell. There was actually a lot of destructible stuff in Storm 3. But I rather have a more stable framerate.
She was trying to make him happy, with a lie? How's that being good to Naruto? She had a noble purpose, sure, but that doesn't hide the fact that she played with Naruto's feelings towards her, it's manipulation. It was a good thing that Naruto at that time had already moved on from his childish crush with Sakura.
The Pain invasion arc is when things changed, whereas Sakura stood by and let Naruto get beaten the fuck out by Pain. Hinata was willing to say "fuck it all" and throw down her life to protect Naruto.
Sorry man, but I don't buy your defense towards Sakura. In almost everything she screwed up with Naruto, no wonder he went with Hinata in the end.

This is also pretty cool,
Kind of wish the Jinjuriki didn't die, they all had really good designs, especially Fuu's

Honestly, I've never disliked Hinata, and though I want to, I've never hated Sakura nor can I bring myself to do so even now, not completely, because the simple fact of the matter is that 699 and 700 were completely out of character. Kishimoto never gave either character the care and attention they deserved.
What I dislike about Hinata has more to do with her fans than the character. Hinata is an intriguing character in her own right, or at least she was before Kishimoto decided she only mattered in the context of pairing wars. She was the meek little girl that was an outsider with her own clan, perceived to be weak and worth nothing. I wish Kishimoto had given her a character arc after Naruto avenged her loss against Neji. It would have been great to see her become stronger and more determined over time before she finally had her moment. I mean, just imagine if got to a Hyūga Crisis Arc of some sort in Part II, which culminated with Hinata defeating Hiashi in a duel and reclaiming her rights as the heiress to the clan? Something like that would have been awesome, and if Naruto came to see her as potential more during such an arc that would've been much better. Instead, all we got was from Kishimoto was Hinata Naruto-kunning whenever she was on panel and used nothing as nothing more than pairing fodder.
Sakura was actually pretty well developed before she began to regress. It's unfortunate she was never given a proper fight after Ino. I would have loved to see her fight one on one after Sasori, and perhaps we could have seen her use the Byakugō seal earlier, which would've made that power up looks less like an retroactive attempt to make her stronger to make up for neglect. It would have also been nice if we got more focus on Sakura wanting to reunite Team 7 rather than just Sasuke (which didn't happen until late into Part II), and, really, more than anything, it would have been nice to see her overcome her lack of confidence when Sasuke was around. Honestly, that was perhaps the worst part about 699 for me, the way she came full circle in the worst possible way and reverted to the Sakura from chapter 3.
Both of these girls deserved better than having their validation rest solely upon whose babies they ended up having.

Nope.
Preach
You said to show anything that Sakura did for Naruto and I showed. I clearly won. xD
By the way, I'll just troll and say that Hinata didn't believe in Naruto and stepped in the middle of the fight. Sakura stood there because she trusted Naruto's skills. lol
As I said before, NaruHina is okay. She loves him and eventually Naruto would fall in love with her, there's nothing wrong there. Wouldn't be my first choice but I respect that and it is canon.

This thread became a long debate about Mrs. Hinata Uzumaki it seems
On a side note Bolt has some new symbol on his back.... I wonder if that is the new clan insignia for the merger of the two
What really happened is Hinata could see what was going on with her eyes while Sakura couldn't
this is what I will forever refer to her as hehehehehehehehe

Sakura was desperate to make him stop hurting, so yeah, she lied to him. She wasn't trying to hurt him, she was trying to do the opposite, but that's the thing about lies, they tend to hurt people, even they come from good intentions.
Naruto specifically told everyone to stay the fuck back because they would only get in the way. Sakura did just that. Hinata even admitted to being selfish when she pulled her love martyr act. You take it as a sign of Sakura not caring enough, which I find a little silly considering how faith Sakura had in Naruto. It actually reminds of that time they went after Itachi and Sasuke and ran into Tobi. Naruto seemingly got hurt, Hinata freaked, but Sakura remained calm and told her to calm her shit and that it would take more than that to take Naruto down. It just went to show different their dynamics were and how much better Sakura understood Naruto, which was to be expected since they were much closer.

I would get one with the whole family.... but when you shrink these things it becomes overly small and all the detail vanishes

You mean Bolt and Himawari? 'cause the Uchiha's eyes always appear normal unless their dōjutsu is active.
Naruto's kids do appear to have normal eyes, compared to what we've seen of the rest of the Hyūga, anyways. It's possible that they could still "awaken" the Byakugan at a later time, but if a single union outside of their bloodline could lead to their offspring not inheriting the dōjutsu, then it makes perfect sense why they kept such a tight reign on it all this time.
Why would they awaken the Rinnegan? the Byakugan has no relation to the dōryoku that stemmed from Kaguya's Rinne Sharingan.
Taaadaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Well, that settles it. Someone must include all of these things in a single avatar.
Perfect. This should be the official one.
Extra points if you add a Sasuke laughing overlap
