Sakura hates him EVEN more? falls for someone else...(not Naruto, he is Hinatas) end of that love story

Someones gotta fall for Lee, and it can't be Ten Ten since she's obsessed with Neji.

I just want to see who goes full throttle to the eighth gate. It's pretty obvious it'll be Gai(since kids can't die!,) but I'd like it to be Lee since he doesn't follow restrictions as much as Gai. Plus, he'd just make it look a lot cooler, especially if he's doing some sui ken at the time.

At first I was going to say Lee, but i always remember that first scene of where he blows a heart and she completely freaks out XD.

He'll unleash 8th gate, and still live....look at what Gaara did to him, a complete recovery wasn't possible...etc etc

 

[Uzor]

Well, it might be Gai, sacrificing his own life to save Lee.

And I doubt Lee will find love. Has ANY girls found him attractive? The first thing they notice are his "fuzzy-brows".


Anyway, I'd say one of the following happens:

1) Gai's life is in danger, or perhaps he even get killed, and tells lee to run away while he tries to kill the opponent by opening the 8th gate, but get killed in the process, making Lee go insane and opening the 8th gate to take out his revenge on his sensei's killer, and somehow miraculously survives because of whatever circumstance such as him being special, or whatever.

2) Gai opens the 8th gate to save Gai's life while telling Gai to run away to save himself or something.

personally 1 seem more entertaining, except for the "Lee survives" part. That ugly guy needs to die already, I'm inclined to think he doesn't serve a purpose besides comical relief. Speaking of which, Ten-Ten needs to die too ~.~

 

[Neisan]

sasuke's goal was aimed for good, cleansing the clan of the "scoundrel" who ruined it all, until he found out the truth, the truth itself was beyond his reach at any point or stage before he killed itachi.

also I think sasuke will kill naruto actually, at least the way I think the story is going to end...

No... Just like Ken from P3 (Sorry, I'm playing it way too much...), the only reason he was doing it was for revenge, not justice.

... The second part sounds like a joke. I'm going to take it as one as well.


EDIT: Way late but In my opinion Kisame is still alive as Aloe Man interrupted the fight. And I have my money on Sakura and Lee as the Dark Horse pair.

 

[K. Ishitar]

so sasuke can't love his family enough to kill a guy who murdered them? Sasuke never wanted to kill a person and he really hasn't yet, hence naruto living.

I think the author will make sasuke kill naruto as a sort of irony, and parody with jiraiya(read: the famous man who is reknowed but died only a step short of victory every time). I still don't think naruto can touch him when all naruto does is make dangerous and unweildy jutsu while sasuke takes advantage of the opponents abilities(like making Kirin) and adapting.

granted naruto did that with hidan by using shadow clones to learn about the enemy but, it's only so small in comparison

 

[Neisan]

Naruto would have won that last fight with Sasuke - Had he not aimed for the headband. When both of them got interrupted by Kakashi some time earlier and both got sent into separate water tanks, even Sasuke himself was forced to admit that had Naruto hit, he might have died from the attack - or at least been critically injured. And as was mentioned earlier, he was fighting Naruto with the intent to kill. Had it not been for the kyuubi and Naruto once again slipping up trying to convince him to return without hurting him too badly, then yes he would have killed Naruto.


The point is that was not his reasoning for doing it. Yes, it sounds nice but for Sasuke he was ONLY doing it for revenge. Not once did any of his quotes convince me he was doing it to preserve the supposed honour of his clan, he was only doing it because 'I'm getting him back for what he did to me'.

 

[K. Ishitar]

well nei, when someone steals you family from you along with the prospect of a normal life, it doesn't just stand out as revenge?

The fact that he also did it to rival naruto shows a sign of kinship in a low form as they consider each other brothers at least back then. When sasuke went to orochimaru, his whole nature crumbled.

 

[Elemmire]

this is Shonen, remember... main female and main male always get together or will at some point. They aren't new at all.. Sakura/Naruto, Ino/Sai (or perhaps Chouji, hard to tell atm), Tenten/Lee (hmm...), Hinata/Kiba (prolly.. not my favorite choice), Shikamaru/Temari.

That's how it seems to be going lol...

Dragon Ball.

Chichi is hardly the main female. It's Bulma by far. And she hooks up with the second string sidekick in the first series, and the actual sidekick in the second.

Bleach.

It's obvious it's going to be Ichigo and Orihime, despite her taking the backseat for Rukia in terms of number of appearances. Thus, she isn't the lead female.

I really don't think Sakura's falling in love with Naruto, or ever will. She is caring for him more and more however, since he's done so much for her, especially in regards to Sasuke. Coming from a complete hatred for the guy to actually being concerned for his well being is a drastic change in character though. But caring for someone isn't the same as loving someone.

 

[Elemmire]

I guess that's true but Chichi was the same age as Goku where as Bulma was several years older. Just as time went on she didn't really show it.. lol. I don't know if it's really going to be Ichigo and Orihime. Seems it could go either way. It still seems, if anything, Sakura and Naruto will happen.

Dude, of course it will be Ichi/Hime....first off, he mentions to his friend (the quiet guy that never complains) that to stay away from rukia. In turn ichigo gets a response saying that his mate only goes for older woman, to which Ichigo says Exactly, don't remember which chapter/ep will go find it later.

The only reason Ichigo goes to save Rukia is friendship, and the fact he got beaten by renji and Byakuya.

The reason he wants to save orihime is to clear her name of Traiter, and other reasons.

Back on topic:

Tenten will never get with lee, she likes Neji, this is seen by the way they both act towards Lee and Gai.

Ino and Sai? where and how did you get that?

 

[Kotsu]

Naruto will use the key to unlock the powers of the Kyubii and control him with his own power. He'll use this newfound power to defeat Sasuke, but not kill him. Only save him from himself. After all, he said it himself. "How can I become hokage if i can't even save one friend?" The path to hokage goes through Sasuke. That's not to say you won't see a complete meltdown/breakdown assuming Naruto learns the whole truth of his life and past. However, learning of this family he never truely knew of will give him the pride and confidence to overcome the adversity that will ensue for the remainder of the characters existance.

To defeat Pain, Naruto and Sasuke will team up against him I think. It'll take Sasuke's eye technique's and Naruto's immense chakra and power to take down Pain. After all, Pain apparently is able to control other people and there bodies with his eye techniques and supposedly has the eye from the gods.

As far as the romance is concerned, it will be as direct as it gets. Sasuke-Sakura, Naruto-Hinata, Shikamaru-Temari, Ino-Sai I think. To be honest, it really takes a back seat to my anticipation to Naruto's learning of the truth.

 

[Skaw]

Naruto would have won that last fight with Sasuke - Had he not aimed for the headband.

Naruto would've won the fight if he was fighting on the exact same level as Sasuke instead of holding back. Sasuke wanted to kill Naruto. It was only when it came time to deal the killing blow he decided to not do it. Naruto didn't want to kill Sasuke, only(at worst) immobilize him.

They had two different goals, so they were fighting at two different intensities.

 

[Hitaru]

Also, if it wasn't for Naruto, Sasuke would have an Incomplete Sharingan

 

[Kotsu]

True. He did develop the third mark in his sharingan while trying to protect Naruto and himself from Haku's ice

Makes you wonder if Pain could use Itachi's body. That might be the motivation Sasuke would need to want to take down Pain. However, I think that Naruto will more than likely fight Pain alone.

I do want for the Author to tie up some loose ends soon though.

 

[Gerry]

Erm, he develeped the 3rd tomoe when fighting Naruto, he got the sharingan with 1 tomoe in one eye and 2 tomoe in the other when protecting Naruto and got the 2nd tomoe in his other eye as he developed his strength when facing Orochimaru the first time.

Don't hold your breath on the author. x.x;; And Naruto may take him alone, I thought it'd be cool if like Naruto takes on Pain and Sasuke-Sakura-Sai take on the bodies under his control. I agree, if pain takes over itachi and sasuke is forced to fight the body that'd be cool.

Well played sir.

Now he has the eye of the jew. He's our anchor man! DAS BOOT!

cause Ino has the hawts for Sai at least what little we saw of Ino she wants him... lol. And I haven't been paying much attention to Bleach, still seems Rukia/Ichigo and Orohime is like Hinata, loves the main character and won't end up with 'im.. but hey, I haven't been paying so much attention so I could be wrong. And I dunno.. Neji doesn't seem interested in anyone and it just doesn't seen Tenten and Neji are gonna happen would be weird.. I feel like if it did it'd end cause she might get tired of him and his attitude lol. Even after his fight with Naruto he still seems a bit... egotistical

Um, Neji has changed since then ¬¬, The fact he is straight foreward is what Tenten likes about him. I don't remember Ino/sai but w/e
