Naruto 470 - That Was Anything But Heartfelt November 6

I know it’s Sakura’s nature to be a tsundere, but forcing the whole confession on Naruto and trying to make him feel bad for not giving her a response doesn’t sit well with me. Even if she has to maintain a tough exterior, I don’t think forcing a favorable response is the right way of going about it. Also, what started as a confession quickly became Sakura’s means of telling Naruto to stop going after Sasuke for her. It’s almost as if she’s given her half-baked feelings to him now as compensation for what she’s put him through. By the sound of things, she’s reluctant about it too.
I don’t doubt that she cares about Naruto and his well-being, but her inner apology to him comes off as her regretting doing this and trampling on his personal desire to help Sasuke. No matter how you slice that, I still see it as her feelings not being genuine enough. What’s funny though is that she’s taking it upon herself to find Sasuke, but drags Kiba along. If she asks Rock Lee for help too, I’m going to start having flashbacks to what she just tried to fix with Naruto. That said, I’m curious as to what Kiba was referring to when he suggested telling Naruto the “truth”. If I haven’t overlooked anything, it looks like they’re both hiding something from one another at this point.
Anyway, we see how Gaara can get people to change just like Naruto does, which is a predominant theme as usual. More importantly, we finally see some Killer Bee vs. Kisame action. I find it pretty ridiculous that Kisame’s Samehada can absorb the amount of chakra a Jinchuuriki has, but hey, I don’t write this stuff.
* From what everyone’s telling me, what Naruto doesn’t know right now is that Konoha’s decided to kill Sasuke themselves. I gather that’s what Sakura’s team is out to do right now. Thanks to those who pointed this out.

First, well I’m more interested in Kisame’s match…

Kisame and Bee fight would be awesome, i remember that when Itachi and Kisame first try to kidnap naruto, Kisame also absorve some of the kyubi chakra so is not anything new that samaheda can absorb any type of chakra

@divine
the truth was that konoha decided to declare sasuke as a ‘missing-nin’ which means that konoha has decided to take responsibility to find and kill sasuke by themselves.

Love in Naruto universe = Fail. Not even Asuma had a happy ending I even wonder how these ninjas reproduce. Must be some kind of symbiotic mechanism. Temari and /chikimaru nada. all couples fail

dont think it was meant to be heart felt ~”~ they did end up arguing =.= i think kisame was meant to have chakra nearly as large as a tailbeast ~”~ so im not suprised…

wow what an entirely pointless confrontation they could have just skipped it as it resolves nothing and just moved the story along faster.

Actually it moved the story along the lines that Sakura is a crappy female character, who’s going to need some major character development before Shonen Jump’s offices are flooded by hate mail.

Also on a completely unrelated note did anyone else hear about the true tears Blu-ray Box from Bandai. Apparently it’s going to have something like a three minute portion of new footage as an epilogue that will depict the future of the main characters, after the show and all. But it won’t even be released unless so many copies are ordered. Just me, but I’m hoping for some unforeseeable Noe ending, in like a scenario where Hiromi meets a tragic death by heartfelt emotion overdose.

Doesn’t Naruto already know about that? I thought he did…

yeah, the confession was just absoulte bullshit. Way to go Sakura! started off with I love you, then inner Sakura takes over and argues. Geez, you piss me off now. Even if you could find Sasuke, you would get killed. Leave Sasuke to Naruto and stop getting in the way.

That’s not quite right : the truth is that the rookie 9 is taking it upon themselves to End Sasuke, FOR Konoha. Naruto only knows that Konoha has allowed other countries to take action against Sasuke, but doesn’t know that the Rookie 9 are gonna do it before the others can, which is probably why she’s apologizing as it seems like they are now off to end his life after Naruto just exclaimed that he’d rather have his balls fondled by Saucegay rather than Sakura.
And I don’t think she was forcing a favorable response, she was just forcing A response, which is not that unreasonable I think despite her shitty confession.

if she was sincere then she would have taken him to a hotel

Haven’t touched Naruto in years.
The art is as terrible as it ever was… I guess evolution forsake this particular mangaka.
*runs away before the fanboys start raging*

Samehada is a bit disappointing for me. It’s all ‘omnomnom’ looking now. Meh.
Cherubium at 5:13 pm on November 6th, 2009
the truth was mentioned a while ago, it’s with all the other konoha ninja’s taking out Sasuke before anyone else can so hatred won’t develop

I don’t find the powers of Kisame ridiculous. It’s fitting for someone from the Akatsuki. It has bothered me quite a while that all the Akatsuki members were first presented like godlike (like.. mm Itachi) and then die without any fame. Deidera, Hidan, Kakuzi, Sasori, Itachi, Pain were all pathetic defeated (maybe with exception of Deidera). Now I hope Kisame captured Killer Bee so that the real war can start!

Best part of the last chapter was rock lee and his palm in his face during sakura’s confession. Even bushy brows knows this is bs

Hey Divine, I think what kiba meant by “should we tell them the truth” is that they are planning on killing Sasuke as stated in a previous chapter, I think about 5 or 6 ago? And Sakura is there just to get Naruto to avoid Sasuke so he (naruto) doesn’t know what they are about to do (kill sasuke/take him down)

Can’t you feel the love tonight?

Yeah, from what everyone’s saying here, that seems to be the case. I’ll amend my post.
