Just tell yourself that Sasuke is Naruto's brother, and then everything make sense.

Saving his brother is more important than anything else...
There's no "romance" involved here.

And everyone understands that.

Although I agree with you that he shouldn't just forget about the girls because of his "mission".
He's missing on many opportunities because of that!

------------

While we're on the subject, I'm surprised that there's no gays in this manga...
Both Bleach and One Piece have gay characters, but Naruto don't.

Sai might be, but I don't think he is.
Zabuza and Haku's relation was weird, but more like a Big Bro stuff I think...

I can't think of anyone else...

bleach has a gay character?? ...yumicika is vain flamboyant..not confirmed he gay thought..only one can think of who class as "gay".

naruto does have the highest ladyboyish looking characters i seen in a manga

sai
deidara
sasori etc etc

i just think what a great chapter it be if konhana just ask naruto are you gay..then again naruto wont know what gay is ..he not the brightest person in the world...also when he was kiriya he wanted to train more then look at girls in spa..

on the sakura thing i think that is more brother sister love (like ichigo and rukia). seems more brother sister to me..so is in love with sasuke but sees naruto as a brother.

now this might confuse people but i think sakura will end up with Rock Lee..seriously..this weeks chapter kinda cemented the idea to me. i can see them two fighting together and bonding.

Well, you have that gross Hollow that looks like a transvestite, can't remember his name.

But I was more thinking of the girl with the glasses that is always with Orohime. She's clearly lesbian.

on the sakura thing i think that is more brother sister love (like ichigo and rukia). seems more brother sister to me..so is in love with sasuke but sees naruto as a brother.

Definitely not agree with you on this.
- First, I'm a huge NaruSaku fan.
- Second, I'm a huge IchigoRukia fan!

As for Rock Lee, I would rather that she end up with him than Sasuke.
But still, my favorite pairing for him is with Tenten.

[M3J]

Naruto is not gay. It's been established, unlike with Sai, when he's gone to peep on Sakura and came up with many sexy moves, and when he liked Konohamaru's yuri no jutsu.

Though it makes one wonder, if Sai really is gay, who will he end up with? I still think SaIno is possible.

i wasent claiming that he is ..just think bout it from someone elses view like kiba or rock lee..would you honestly not think that something could be off with naruto and sasuke relationship. i think everyone would if been honest

Sai is funny i see him with ino coz the whole ino liked sasuke then thinks sai reminds her of him..for some reason unknown

They know Naruto pretty well,so they know that he will fight for a friend to the very end,especially for his best friend Sasuke.They know that Naruto would do that for them as well.Sasuke is Naruto's best friend and something like a brother to him,so it's pretty understandable.

First i want to say that Sasuke to Naruto is like a brother/father/mother. He was the first to knowledge him (in a way) and create a bound with when he had NO ONE. In that horible pain that he was talking about when he was fighting Gara he found Sasuke, somebody (like him) that had no one and could form a realation/bound even if they never actualy even talked. Naruto is the type of person that never abandons a friend and never goes back on his word just like Jirayia (not even J man was able to let go of Orochimaru). Hell not even the 3'th was able to ... Even after almost destroying the city (he was still looking at him with love and seeing him as he was when he was little). Naruto/Jirayia/The 3'th are all great people with love in there hearts and the will of fire.

hinata confesses love...sorry got to fight pain then hunt sasuke

Perhaps you are forgeting but the moment she got hurt he started trowing around some 6 tails ... Do you think he could have kissed her or what in that state ? Let's be serious even after defeating Pein he still had to go after the individual(Nagato) who almost destroyed the village. He cold always go back and talk to her after this was done.

saskura fake confesses love...sorry got to go after sasuke.

That he was smart enough to see trough her ?

anybody asks what he doing...sorry got to go after sasuke.

He needs to stop Sasuke for multyple reasons. Starting with the fact that he loves him(as a friend) to the fact that he is a big danger to everybody around him and the fact that Naruto knows that Sasuke eneded up like this because of the village and others actions. Now i am not saying that he has no blame in what he does but he is not alone in it.

Personaly i would love to have a friend like Naruto.

[Gingitsune]

Am I the only one who saw a hint towards Suigetsu getting together with Karin? He almost admit he missed her.

Or maybe it's just me, because I spotted them right away as going through a typical hate to love relationship, I can't see beyound my blinders anymore.

Something just clicked in my mind, Jess. Remember during Kushina's appearance that Naruto remembered that Kiba and Shikamaru said "moms are scary"?? that was a foreshadowing of them ending up with "scary women" (Narusaku, Shikatema). Out of all the Konoha 11, the only one I can see being a "scary wife" is Ino. Don't forget that Ino and Kiba are in the same division, so maybe there might be something happening between them?? with the foreshadowing from 498, I'm pretty convinced he'll end up with Ino.

It seems they are now split up, Kiba went to back up Hinata and co, while Ino wasn't seen with Kitsuchi's division so far. Kishi probably kept her for baking Gaara's division later, so Team 10 will be together to met Asuma. On the other hand, Kiba is now close to Karui, a known "scary girl"... And Kurotsuchi doesn't seem to be the silent type either...

Anyway, to get back to the Shikamaru and Temari's romance and the greater themes of the series, like M3J, I have the feeling we will see marriages between the five big countries' shinobi. Other candidates would be Kankurou, Kurotsuchi, Karui and Omoi. There will probably be another one form Naruto's friends at Konoha and we'd need some 16 to 19 years old from Kiri (I'm not sure if Suigetsu counts or not).

Yeah, this one was obvious as soon as they met.
It might not happen in the manga, but if they are both alive in the end, I'd like to think that they end up together.

Like you said, the Hate-Love relationship they had was funny and was the best hint for romance.
We already know that Suigetsu kinda miss her. If we get a hint from Karin side, then it's a done deal!

He does miss her. Kishi probably wrote this to show Taka still values their bonds. Well at least three of them do. Kishi will likely never show it, but I am sure many picked up on Suigetsu's interest.

It's funny. I was just looking at some Kiba with Karui fanart. How odd would it be if that could actually be canon? The chances are slim, but who knows? She does fit the description. Kurotsuchi is also the scary girl type that both the Inuzuka and Nara seem to end up with.

Ino is likely to head to Gaara's division which should set her up with Choji alongside Shikamaru/Temari if any Ino romance occurs. Kishi did say something about Choji's dreams coming true at the Jump Festa. Although I am not sure about the translation or what it means. Being a hero and getting the girl seem to be something he would dream about.

It would be ironic in a series where we still haven't seen a boy and girl even kiss on the mouth, that there could be couples and actual marriages at the end. But it does fit with Naruto's ideals of bringing the ninja world together. It's more out of necessity than romance.

A marriage between the 5 countries, I like that. It would help maintain the peace between the villages. I do hope Kishi drops hints on this. Nothing too big, really. Just like the ShikaTema relationship.

As for Kiri.... what about KakashixMei?? she's the same age as him.

[Gingitsune]

Or Mei could hire a new swordman of the mist, Killer Bee, and then marry him. They are around the same age too. Unless she gets a younger partner, since it seems she likes them young, maybe Kankurou, Omoi, Kiba or Shino?

Ino is likely to head to Gaara's division which should set her up with Choji alongside Shikamaru/Temari if any Ino romance occurs.

Oh right, I forgot about them, I was too busy spotting the Shikamaru/Temari's possibilities, the Lee/Sakura setting and Neji being alone with many hot girls (he didn't stay alone for very long though). But now I'm looking forward for some Chouji/Ino moment as well.

now this might confuse people but i think sakura will end up with Rock Lee..seriously..this weeks chapter kinda cemented the idea to me. i can see them two fighting together and bonding.

I wonder, if Lee>Sakura becomes real, would that make probable the two other love interests towards main characters that appeared in the chuunin exam arc? Namely Ino>Sasuke and Hinata>Naruto.

Catching up with the thread a bit:

So i fear the lack significant romantic events in the manga is likely to continue on for a bit....unless my very worst fear comes true.....

Naruto and Bee start making out(was going to put an image here but i just couldn't bring myself to type that into google)

Naruto is not interested in old men, as we have seen with Jiraiya's teasing (never letting the oiroke last long enough for Jiraiya to even think to try to attemp anything) and Kakashi's unintended love declaration (from which Naruto scramble away in pure horror). The only boys he felt physical attirance for were looking and acting girly (Haku in the forest and Konohamaru's girl on girl oiroke no jutsu). Also, Kushina told him to get a girl and he didn't had a second though on it, like it was the obvious thing to do. Naruto is as straight as it get.

On Killer Bee's side, he clearly show no liking for Naruto's harem no jutsu. He also didn't show any interest into Naruto at all before the training, so he doesn't seem to be the pedophile type, he even said he's not good with kids. If Killer Bee is going to make out with another male, the gay amardillo seems a more likely partner. Rest assure, your worst nightmare won't come true.

[Newkerzy]

Ugh... that image nearly wrecked me for a week.... oh yeah, totally forgot. Chojuro is in Naruto's age group, So yeah, I do think he'll end up with one of the Konoha 11. I think Hinata would be a good choice since she's similar in personality. Not only that, i think she has acquired a bit of guts after her confession. I think it did her well in that she managed to overcome her shyness/awkwardness that she would actually confess to Naruto.

Chojuro has low self-esteem. Like Hinata has. She can help raise his self-esteem because she's been through the same thing before. She knows how he feels when one has such low self-esteem.

[ashher]

Hey i would actually love it if mei x kakashi becomes canon. Right now kakashi is fighting the 7 of the mist...why can't mei just drop here and get smitten with kakashi's valor, smart, chivalry, good look etc etc? Love on the battlefield, between 2 kages, between the prince an the princess...ahaha (yeah kakashi is gonna become kage at the end of this war, non believers keep silence).
