Too true. Its also not so far fetched that they'll have, at the very least, a 'moment' together or some form of interaction. Kishimoto has been dropping hints right and left about Hinata and Sasuke's connections. Some are so very subtle that their often over looked, and others not so subtle, but could be seen as a Hyuuuga/Uchiha connection instead of a SasuHina connection. Or what I would perceive as hints dropped. One thing to keep in mind is that nothing in a story should come out of nowhere, so if there is a SasuHina connection then there should be some hint to it before hand. And if you can see clues leading to the conclusion then there will most likely be some kind of turn out for it. (not a guarantee for a romantic turn out, but a connection between them at the very least.)

i sure hope that there is some sasuhina in this series. it would make me very happy. and i guess there is a very large chance seeing as the series is still far from over meaning that there is still time for something to happen. oh and hi! i don't get on as much as i should and for that i am sorry! :oops:

Argh! Ok just read the newest chapter for Naruto, so we've got some spoilers in this post. Crap, I take back what I said about Sasuke going blind, I now think it'll be Kakashi. Pein just threw a nail at him--ouch. The rumor about another character kicking the bucket, could be anyone at this point. I'm voting for Danzo, cuz I still can't see Saucy going anywhere any time soon. Chouji and his dad were awesome... 'bout time we get to see side characters do something in the manga. :D You guys think Team 8 might fight a Pein with jounin? I'm 50/50 on this, but I'm swinging towards a 'no'... hopefully we'll get to see some snippets of Team 8 fighting someone! :bored

Woah, Danzo I can see where this is going. Yes, Chouji and his Dad finally get some panel time :> Poor Kakashi... Alot of people say that Team 8 is going to fight Konan x> As much as I want it to happen, sadly I think won't, although any Team 8 fight is good enough for me x> Hey get this me and my friend think something upsetting may happen to Team 8 next because all the other rookie teams have had some upsetting turnouts. Team 7 - Sasuke. Team 10 - Asuma. Team Gai - ? (I wish they'd make a dynamic entry !) Team 8 - ? Who knows =>

We haven't seen much of Team Guy! TT_TT *gasp* You don't think anything will happen to Kurenai, do you?! And yeah... I doubt Team 8 will fight Konan--just seems very unlikely in my opinion. If anything I think my worst fears are seeing them helping the injured and what not. Man what happen to Ino and her dad? We saw Hyuuga in earlier chapters--I wonder if they'll come into play as well. Ooh~ a confrontation between all 3 doujutsu would be epic. O3O

Hopefully nothing will happen to Kurenai, not at least while she has Asuma's baby :shock: I want to see more Ino and Chouji. ROFL. I can see it now, Hyuuga causing an immense stampede trampling over everyone. I think I would faint to see the Byakugan, Sharingan and Rinnegan all playing a part. Your right it would be epic. :wink:

First it starts with Asuma, then Jiraiya, Itachi, and now Choza and Kakashi? And now he's trying to kill off Tsunade? WTH?!!! Kishimoto is a Sadist. And I, for one, believe that if he doesn't redeem Sasuke in the end, then he will have him killed off. Or he may go the ultimate twist of all and kill Naruto in the end and leave Sasuke alive. Either way, I believe one or the other will die.

So far, the people who have been dying are the adults. And we can't gaurantee 100% that Kakashi is actually dead. Many times we thought Sasuke died, but he really didn't. Even when it was slim, the possibilities of saving him, Kishi was still able to scrounge up something to save Sasuke. So, we can't count out Kakashi, yet. Or Tsunade... I like Tsunade - don't kill her, Kishi! And remember that one interview? We should be expecting only one death. Not multiple. Maybe it was Choza after all. Kishi never mentioned it was supposed to be an important character who'd die. Heck, I wasn't expecting it. -_-' I guess, no new chapter next week or two. Kishi is going to take some break time to plot some more.

Perhaps, I've been getting an extra dose of depression lately from my manga. Naruto obviously, but also NANA has been extra depressing. Though I will say its not as depressing as Full Moon wo Sagashite. But that's way off topic! I'm hoping--really hoping--that its just a bad case of exhaustion for Kakashi. Or, if he is that close to dying, that <i>someone</i> comes along to help him before its too late. If that's the case I already have a scene playing through my mind on what could happen. And, yes, it involves Sasuke. :D

Hey... I'm getting something here. There seems to be a message depicted in the character deaths. Obito, Minato Fujikaze, Sandaime, Chiyo, Asuma, Jiraiya, Itachi, Choza... others to come... So far, these people have died with thoughts of protecting their village, their loved ones, and the future generation of children. Noble and inevitable, the life of ninjas. Unlike most people, I kind of respect how the story is unfolding. Basically, fans are upset, because NARUTO is neither a romance nor a fairytale - which is exactly why I love the manga. At this point, Kishimoto might be one of my role models when it comes to story-writing. ^^

I don't know why the fans are complaining. It's shounen, they've read other shounen titles, so they knew what they were getting into. I finished reading Hellsing and despite some of the fans saying it ended on a *spoiler* AlucardxIntegra note... I still didn't see any romantic aspect in their relationship besides Master and Slave. Meh... I didn't read Hellsing for romance nor do I read Naruto that way either. Fans need to grow up and realize they can't have their way in everything. Though I think it's pretty evident at this point NaruSaku will probably happen. Well I'm done ranting! Aww... you know I've missed chatting with you guys. :)

Pandachan: Ditto. 8)

Hooray Team Gai + Team 8 (minus Hinata D:<) are here ^_^ Maybe off topic: By the way, did you hear about that new filler arc coming to the anime ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtIUDAlS2XI It also has a teaser trailer for a new movie ? There was one with subtitles but I can't seem to find it. I normally don't bother with fillers but this one seems to be interesting. :wink:

The lack of Hinata makes me wonder if we'll see her fight with her family as we've seen others do. God that'd be so epic... seeing the Hyuuga fight a Pein would bring tears to mah eyes! XD
