Naruto #109

Sasuke’s never going to have feelings for Sakura her no matter how much she begs for it, and it’s definitely apparent in this episode. She finally tells him that she loves him, but he responds by telling her that she’s still annoying. I doubt that she’ll ever heal from her broken heart, but he’s way past dealing with her now that he’s chosen revenge as his path toward ultimate power. I can’t say that I’ve ever liked Sakura, but I actually felt very sorry for her after all that she had done for him. I just don’t understand how she could continually love someone who has always treated her like a second-class citizen. Who knows, maybe she really does enjoy being tortured by Sasuke every time she offers her heart to him. Is he really worth it? If I were her, I would just forget about him and choose a much better guy. Come on, Sakura, what are you waiting for? Just give someone else a chance to show you how it really feels to be loved. What’s wrong with that?

I can’t wait to see the next episode, as we’ll finally get to see our boys in action. Now that Sasuke’s chosen to leave Konoha behind, I’m curious to see how strong he’ll actually become. Let’s just hope the animation will be top-notch for the upcoming episodes. :)

  • OH i didnt see ashely’s comment sorry…yea he is turning :twisted: beacuse of the orichi as u put it but i have a feeling everything is gonna come out in all good…with some sad parts….but i have to ask…has anyone noticed a patern in the hokages? i mean the first taught the second and the second taught the third and the third taught the fifth but the also taught the fourth’s seinse…so if you think about it the fourth taught kakashi and kakashi is teaching naruto,sakura and sasuke…wow kishimoto has a really amazing mind to have taught of such a loop…so i thinking that once the fifth dies or retires either kakashi or naruto will take over…but naruto still has along way to go in many ways…1 bring sasuke back…2 learn to fully control the nine tails…3 try to kill itachi so sasuke will get back…4 become a chunnin first of all…and so i want to here wat are ur opinions in this theory of mine?

  • Honestly, dont want feelings hurt..

    In the time skip, towards the end, Sasuke and Itachi fight and Itachi dies, but it also concludes Sasuke’s life too.

    So, maybe Naruto and Sakura would be together 4 the rest of the time

    Don’t want no cheating or divorces.

    I was a sakusas fan, but i can almost anticipate at least 80% chance happening..:wink::wink::wink::wink::???::neutral:

  • really?….wait how do u know the manga inst released until thursday?…i know it ended with itachi and sasuke meeting up…well i guess ill just have to wait and see…and sure a sakura-naruto romance might be possible but only on the chance that sasuke dies…so lets wait and see..
    myself on the other hand is highly doubting that sasuke will die….it just doesnt seem like kishimoto to change the whole theme in one volumn…besides he would have a much tougher time creating new plots if sasuke died….or even itachi… if either died there will be some level of difficulty in the manga writing as the motivation will have died out almost completly….lets see shall we?!
    so my hokage theory has had any reaction…oh well just a theory…

  • wow….i cant believe this thing has been going on for almost 3 years….i wonder what happended to the one who created this thing…
    intresting very intresting…ookey dokey..bye

  • okay im officially asking for a conversation on the theory that kakashi might become hokage…why?…because for those who read chapter 367 u’ll have noticed what jiraya said..
    jiraya:”kakashi is a shoe in for hokage but naruto still has a longs way to go” not sure if thats exactly it…
    but how weird is it that i knew it might happen?
    so what ur opinion on the whole thing so far?
    chapter 367 answered alot of questions but also created alot new questions in the end!
    be back later!

  • okay i kinda was thinking about how the naru-saku fans think they are gonna end up together and all..well i was just thinking…kishimoto seems to always make things happen again like three sannin thing,kakashi old team is alot like naruto’s and stuff like that…and well i was just saying he kind seems to bring that to the romance of the story…kurenai and asuma are lovers but dont admit it..and well when you look at it you can kinda see it happening with shikamaru and temari…just kinda not really….
    SPOILER—CHAPTER 367
    jiraya and tsunade revealed that the fourth was naruto’s dad and a normal ninja was naruto’s mom…
    naruto’s mom is said to be a loud,energetic and fun kinda person much like naruto which jiraya and tsunade say is very diffrent from is had…
    the opposite of loud is quite
    so if you look closely you can probably guess that naruto is the loud one and hinata is the shy,quite one….so if naruto were to have a relationship with hinata it would be much like that of his parents….so that is my reason as to y naruto and hinata will surely end up together…kishimoto obviously strongly believes in the saying “history repeats itself” so i came to that conclusion…and as for the sasuke and sakura relationship…we’ll im positive on two endings…1. sasuke is able to get rid of itachi or something happens between him and itachi which is able to releave sasuke of his goal to kill him..and he returns to konoha….2.sasuke dies leaving sakura to go mad and have the only goal to kill itachi and the rest of the akautski(srry about spelling) and ends up with lee…im leaning more on the first because i have studied kishimotos work and id say he is more likely to keep sasuke alive…okay just had to get that off my mind..bye

  • sorry i made a mistake in my last post its “his dad” and not “is had”…

  • sakura/naruto will be together i put that on my life!!!! sasuke treated her wrong! and if he truly loves her he would have told her what his whole plan was so you cant say he really loves her because if his love was so powerfull as you guys say it is!!!! then his love for her would conquer all and he would have told her how he truly feels about her.

    He had the chance to tell her his whole plan when she was right there and he didnt tell her!!!!!!!
    If he truly truly truly truly loved her then he would have told her that he didnt want her to go because he didnt want to see her get hurt!!! even though sakura would just get worried even more he would probably tell sakura to leave him alone and dont worry because ill fix it all.

    and knowing how she usually would listen to him she would probably listen to him again and leave it up to him. And besides naruto is the main character and most of the times the main character always gets the girl that they want for example peter parker he was a nobody m.j didnt even notice him or like him and all of the sudden she started liking him dispite how nerdy he maybe and when she found out how much danger she would be in because he is spiderman she took that risk!!!

    Just like sakura took that dangerous risk knowing that naruto has kyuubi or whatever inside of him and and dispite how dangerous that risk was to try to save him she was will to do it even if he didnt want her to.

    HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

    i used to be a sasusaku fan but i naruto is way much better for sakura i mean all she wants is some one to love her is that so much to ask for!!!!
    sorry this is just what i think cant help it!

    sorry for those ppl who are sasusaku fans!

  • hi…well i wont say i would be upset if she ended up with naruto cause he’s really awsome and one of my favorites..but i would like discuss as to why i believe she and sasuke are more likely to end up together…
    okay u said that sasuke didnt tell her his plan and why he was leaving…and that’s because he didnt have to…she knew about his clan,about orochimaru,and about how he wanted revenge…and he kinda still told her…he gave an explanation as to why he had to leave..because deep in his heart he choose revenge instead of happiness…and he choose revenge against happiness because he was worried that if his brother were to find out about sakura or his other friends he might try and kill them in order to get sasuke to go after him…
    as for sasuke not telling sakura how he feels..well he did, its just that he’s not as blunt as naruto is when it comes to expressing himself…kishimoto made sasuke a very complex character so that we would learn to read in more depth in what he was trying to make of the situation…exaple: sasuke turns around after sakura tells him her feelings and thoughts, “after all this time..you are still annoying”…last time he said he she’s annoying it was because she was trully annoying…however this specific time he meant she was making him second guess himself and making him want to stay and making it harder for him to leave..if he trully didnt care for her he would have just left and not even explained anything,not even talked to her, not even turn back or even second guess himself…then there’s the part were he said thank you…that shows how much he appreciates her..he wasnt about to hug her and tell her she meant everything to him which was why he had to kill his brother in order to have peace…he didnt do that because he knew it would just have made it harder for her to let him leave and for himself to leave also…sasuke after many lonely years has learned to hide his feelings in order to protect those he loves…he pushes those away to keep them from getting hurt in his battles…kishimoto tries his best to show this without writing it out as bluntly as possible, because he knows that the character sasuke isnt blunt or touchy touchy on his feelings…
    and for sakura being worried about naruto is very understandable..he’s like the brother she never had…he is all that is left as a support system for her…she already lost sasuke and now she is very worried about losing naruto…she is willing to sacrifice herself to protect those dear to her…expecially after she understood how hard naruto’s past was…she knows that he is in need of comfort after loosing his first ever best friend and now is in danger of loosing his life…i feel she doesnt see him as being more than a best friend who’s almost a brother to her…besides she still loves sasuke which naruto took the hint ever since he got back the first time from training with jiraya…as yea he is the main character which means he does get the girl but who said the girl was sakura?..it might as well be hinata cause like i said in my last post kishimoto seems to love the saying “history repeates itself” and well it does seem that he and hinata might have a relationship much like his parents considering hinata is much like his father(quiet) and naruto like his mother(loud)…but yea that’s just wat i personally believe…i mean kishimoto wouldnt have gone through all that trouble of making sasuke show so much concern for sakura if he would just throw it away as though it was just a rough draft…he has dug too deep a hole to just start a new one all of a sudden…heck he even metions sasuke wanting to restore his clan…and if im not mistaken sakura is the only girl he has ever let get close to him…he doesnt even like karin and he was the one he choose..which also shows he is not looking for a girl but a person who can help him accomplish his goal of killing his brother as quick as possible..i mean i really really could just spend my whole night just typing and typing about so many diffrent ways sasuke and sakura are shown to end up together that i dont think my fingers could stand it…but ill continue showing the diffrent ways in other posts depending on the conversation…well anyway..if sasuke and sakura dont end up together i wouldnt mind see naruto or lee stepping in considering they are really awsome!
    okay i have to go..but it was nice hearing ur thoughts and opinions..u do make good points and i hope kishimoto makes a good decision in the end!

  • I so totaly agree with the last posted.
    Ever since I watched Naruto Hinita had liked Naruto.
    And Sasuke kissed Sakura so there is deffinately something betweenthoes two.
    :!:

  • thank you for agreeing with me…i am glad someone share’s my point of view..but if you dont mind me saying i never saw a chapter where they kiss…

  • Sasuke does care for Sakura. That’s already been stated by Sasuke himself when he called her and Naruto his best freinds. They are his importnant poeple. When Sasuke says “you’re annoying.” It’s his way of saying “I remember that day.” the one whe he first said it. Right now Sasuke is thinking about revenge and Sakura about love. She just wants to give him love to heal his pain. When his revenge is over and Sasuke needs healing he will have Sakura’s love and Naruto’s brotherly love. And right now in the manga and shippuden, Sakura is awesome! not weak adn has adrive to fight as well as being kind. She bickers with Naruto, but that’s just their relashipship. In teh end, Sasuke probably will be with Sakura if no one dies.

  • Sasuke Cares about Sakura. Sasuke knew that if he stayed with Sakura and Naruto he whould be happy. He would be loved and love back, probably marry Sakura. But he knew that this ment that he would forget revenge. He knew that Sakura’s love would heal his hatred. He didn’t want to forget. He choose to leave the happy life of being with Sakura and Naruto for revenge.He thanks Sakura for loveing him and wanting to heal him. It’s hard for him to leave this love, but he needs to if he’s to get revenge. When it’s done then he will need healing and he’s got them for it. and if he thoguht Sakura was annoying at first thn he must flatout hate Karin. She’s like a billion times worse and without the kindness. He’s just using her for revenge. He says he’s heart is filled with hate, right now teh only love he migth have left is for Sakura and Naruto deep down.

  • great opinions….i have yahoo! and there was a question(Well not really a question but more of a statement) in which this girl hated karin and everything and was asking y ppl thought sasuke and sakura weren’t gonna end up together…and well i decided to answer…it was a long explanation but it well thought out and analyzed…i got best answer…and if anyone would like to hear it i’d post it up…but again great opinions…

  • just to make it clear…i agree with the last two opinions…

  • TO ALL SASUXSAKU FANS OUT THERE, I have proof that there WERE moments and hints of the couple: sasukeXsakura…

    – OH YES. I got some of this from another website, but most are due to observation. I’m not that stupid :|

    ~Whenever Sakura hugs Sasuke, compare his expressions from the hugs he gets from Ino.

    ~When Sakura screamed in the bell test, Sasuke recognizes it and investigates, even though he already said that both Naruto and Sakura would both hold him back. Whats more, when Sakura fainted again, he stayed until she woke up.

    ~He even went that far on explaining to her about Itachi making him cry…but this might be because he got caught up in the moment.

    ~Sasuke jumps in front of Sakura to protect both Tazuna and herself… but this might be because he wants to protect the client. BUT! It’s still a moment :)

    ~During their training in the Mist, Sasuke blushed after asking Naruto what Sakura told him. But this might be due to him asking Naruto… BUT! He still blushed :> And it involves Sakura :]

    ~Sasuke hears Sakura’s scream while he was trapped in Haku’s ice mirrors. He said “That was Sakura’s voice just now! (or something) “What the hell is that idiot Kakashi doing?!! (or something)” Sasuke never did call Kakashi as sensei, which is a show of disrespect… but he never did call him idiot.

    ~The scene when he woke up after Sakura cries over him was so kawaii :] Hah, I just had to add it :|

    ~When they were going back home, Sakura asks Sasuke for a date. Usually, he would just flat-out say no. But there were lots of dotdotdot’s… in between both Sakura and Sasuke.

    ~In the manga, you see Sasuke smiling/smirking after he compliments Sakura about her observation and genjutsu skills. Kishimoto-sensei wouldn’t add that picture if it wasn’t important, right?

    ~Sakura craddling Sasuke as he grips her hand tightly, because of the pain from the curse-mark.

    ~MAJOR SASUSAKU MOMENT — When the curse-mark receded, just because Sakura hugged him and as he saw her tears.

    ~In the manga, when Naruto and Sasuke were arguing on who was the one to catch more fish and stuff, Sasuke was dead-set on Naruto catching more until Sakura called him to make the fire.

    ~Before the preliminary round, Sasuke caught Sakura’s hand, saying, “I will not allow even you to take away my path.”

    Or was it, “Not even you can take away my path”? Seriously, I forgot, but one of these has to be it :|

    ~When Sasuke was weakened by Gaara, Gaara tried to attack Sasuke. But, as you can see, Sakura protected Sasuke.

    ~Sasuke tells Naruto that he would buy them some time, and that Naruto has to take Sakura and run for it. He refuses to see another of his precious people/friends to die in front of him.

    ~When Sakura finally gets released from the sand-grip thingy, Sasuke catches her and gently puts her down.

    ~When Sakura thanks Sasuke for saving her, he tells her that it was Naruto who saved her. He scowls to himself as she smiles, directly for Naruto. NOTICE THE SCOWL.

    ~When Sasuke was hospitalized after encountering Itachi, Sakura stays by his bedside every single day, placing flowers that speak out ‘get well soon’ on his bedside table. When Sasuke finally woke up, thanks to Tsunade, Sakura cries and hugs him, forgeting to thank Tsunade and Naruto. Sasuke’s spaced-out look while looking at Sakura was just kawaii.

    ~Sasuke remembers scowling while Sakura gentle smiles and gaze at Naruto.

    ~Naruto and Sasuke had a RASENGANXCHIDORI showdown in the rooftop. Sakura tries to come between them while they were fighting. Sasuke was greatly distressed and surprised and tries to evade her, but he realized he could not, that further distressed him and Naruto.

    ~I don’t want to explain the whole 109 episode, but I only have one piece of advise:

    “Read beneath the underneath”… or something :| That’s what Kishimoto-sensei has been saying.

    ~After Sasuke says “Sakura …

    (insert intense pause here)

    … Arigatou.” Then she gasps and he finally knocks her off. He atleast carried her to a nearby bench, instead of leaving her on the cold ground, which would be a waste of time if he was really in a hurry.

    ~Before Shikamaru’s team set off, Shikamaru told Sakura “Not even you could (have) stop him, huh…” Naruto was shocked, having not know that Sakura already encountered Sasuke. Shika’s suppose to be smart, ne?

    ~Naruto states, “Sakura-chan, you must really like Sasuke a lot!” with a pained look. Even though he was smiling, you could see that it pained him…Unless you didn’t notice that, then you must be blind or something :|

    ~In the whole arc with Jiraiya and Sasame, Sakura was ready to give her life up when she thought that Sasuke no longer existed.

    —TIME-SKIP TIME!!!—

    ~When Sakura was prepared to hit Sai, Sasuke blurts out her name. Take note of the long staring and gazing point.

    THERE’s A WHOLE LOT MORE…BUT, DUE TO LAZINESS, I CAN’T LIST THEM DOWN ANYMORE…

    WE ALL KNOW THAT SAKURA GREATLY MISSES THE BASTARD, SO THERE~!

  • NARUTO SUX! I DONT SEE WHY U PEOPLE LIKE IT! IN WHAT WAY IS IT MOE????

  • This suck Icannot belive tha sasuke would do that to sakura if i was sasue for one day i would tell sakura how i feel about her and tell her i love her so much that i would naver go naver leef her sideher i would stay with her untill i die that,s all i have to say:mad:

  • This suck Icannot belive tha sasuke would do that to sakura if i was sasue for one day i would tell sakura how i feel about her and tell her i love her so much that i would naver go naver leef her sideher i would stay with her untill i die that,s all i have to say am pissed off damnit

  • peace23 (aka intresting)

    Wind Scynth you make(or copied xD) many well observed points in the show and manga…i do remember every one of those moments to being a very big part…and there are many many more you or the person who wrote it have not listed, but the once shown are very good ones ^_^

    As for you super_vannah101…i would like to say that your rudeness is very disrespectful and i would like for you to not post meaningless comments…if you have something positive to say by all means post…but putting fans down is not something i wish to see…T_T

    Candice Lanton…hehe…yea wat sasuke did was mean in some ways…but at the same time you have to look at it the way kishimoto shows it….and yes Wind Scynth “read beneath the underneath” is one of kishimoto’s biggest quotes…when he says that, he’s telling us the readers how he wishes for us to read his story…sasuke’s departure however mean it may seem, was neccessary inorder to have character development and progress the series…but that is sweet that you would do that for sakura ^_^

    hehe long time since ppl have commented XD…well im just gonna wait till a big flame is posted so i can use my long explanation hehe ^_^ kk cyas

    ps- i corrected my name…it was intresting and now its peace23 ^_^

  • Wind Scynth you listed some great points in the series…all those specific points are def. some of the great moments in the series between them…oh course i can list at least two dozen or more moments that show their relationship even more…i dont think i have that much time xD…but i do have a long discussion that lists those moments, but im saving it for something big…hehe..great job though ^_^

    As for you super_vannah101…i would like to say that your rude post is very disrespectful towards those that enjoy the series…i would like for you to not post any more meaningless comments…however if you have a thoughtful and positive comment, by all means post…but please no more mindless and disrespectful comments…T_T

    Candice lanton…hehe..yes i suppose what sasuke did was very mean…however as Wind scynth quoted kishimoto’s famous saying, “you must read beneath the underneath”….you have to understand that when he says that, it means he wishes for us the readers to read through the layers and see the true meaning of his story and try to see it through his eyes…sasuke’s departure, although considered mean and horrible…was a necessity inorder to develope the story line…not to mention in order to have character development!….having sasuke leave was what i believe to be the biggest choice kishimoto has ever made…and to tell you the truth i think from the way he has been working on it so far, it is proving to be a good thing…the story is growing a huge amount from that specific event…but i wouldn’t worry about sasuke becoming evil…cause that’s not what kishimoto wishes to become of him…sasuke wants to kill only one person, itachi…anyone else he does not wish to see die..that is something kishimoto shows in many many many different aspects of the manga later on…i do think its sweet that you would do that to sakura though ^_^…but i think sasuke will do the same as soon as he complishes his goal ^_^ hehe..

    ps- i have changed my name from intresting to peace23 ^_^ just to let u all know hehe..

  • i have been watching naruto shippuuden ep 33.will not give anything away as spoliers

  • i agree with most people about the fact that sakura is cute and all but she is acting stupid towards sasuke. persistence is good but too much is bad. she has her mind determined to find sasuke, but what she dosen’t see is that he is treating her like shit!!! as for sasuke is a son of a … to have done what he did. “OHH I NEED POWER TO DEFEAT HIM!!!” it sounds like he’s scared!!! he thinks he’s all coool and hip when he’s not even half way there! after this episode i started to hate sasuke more and more as the days go by!!! plz don’t get me started about him i could write like five pages as to why i hated how he acted in this episode! :mad: :twisted: :evil:

  • Hey guys. Just wondering if there are any new entries on this thing. I just found the site tonight. Thurs 11 Sep 2008. I’m going to bookmark this page because i recently got into Naruto and love the show.
    Love Mystery-Kitty

  • ok im just like sakura and dude u just cant stop loveing some1 u cant take over ur feeling tused me it will happen ok and sasusaku will happen go one youtube and type proof of sasusaku ok :cry: :!: :cry:

  • I think Naruto will choose Sakura. I mean sure, Hinata confessed her love to him but who said he loves her back? If Naruto ends up with Hinata it’ll be like Dragon Ball Z all over again! ( Goku barely knew Chi Chi!!!!) So I hope Naruto saves Hinata from Pain ( akatsuki leader) but gets together with Sakura! :arrow: NaruSaku is love! :razz:
