Effort, but no.
1. This wouldn't be foreshadowing, a foreshadow is something that was mentioned all the way back, and just appeared now. Sakura is developed enough. She knows who she is. Her development was meeting sasuke again, in shippuden.
2. The fact that we have had 6-7 war chapters and Sakura was nowhere to be found has proven kishi does not care about her, she didn't even heal naruto's broken bone.
Edit: Dislocated shoulder. Coincidence doesn't mean a foreshadow.
Yes, totally, because Obito was foreshadowed in Chapter 16 [if I am correct] before everything happened.
Because that particular drawing style with the 3 panels in triangular shape when Naruto broke Zaku's mask and when he did the same with Obito isn't emphasing on the same idea that he's trying to convey.
No offence, but I really do disagree with you.
The fact that he doesn't show her and it's nowhere to be found is exactly what Kishi wants to do in raising everyone's doubts. Everyone noticed this... fans, neutrals, lovers, haters. He knows what he is doing.
But anyway, guess you're entitled to your opinion. I won't go further into details.
np.
Everything can be explained as you say but we can only comment on the likelihood for any given event. Its not too great in the instances i was highlighting. Ok let me ask you something. When you say 'linked', just what exactly do you mean? You say you don't want her to be a descendant, then what? Are you implying that she'll get to the power level of hashirama, or powers similar to him or just get stronger than she is now and this is somehow hinted at by hashirama's flashbacks?
Linked in the way of how Sakura is always there present when it comes to Hashirama. She is somewhat associated with him, but without being linked with him. I don't know exactly how to explain it to make it more clear. The only one that was associated with him was Naruto given his will of fire and ideals, however, when it comes to Hashirama as in skills he possessed as Shinobi and the techniques he had, etc, Sakura is always feature. More than Tsunade herself, even.
All I am saying is that I don't want her to be a descendant because I want her to attain those Senju-God power-like [sorry if it sounded 'too big'] but being the normal girl that she is. All done on her own back, her own studying, her own hard-work type of thing, you know?
Not for her to get Senju powers because she is a far-away descendant, like it is with the Uzumakis. At least, that's what I'd pick.
What I mean, that all those flashbacks we are shown now, resemble a lot in certain situations Sakura's character or the relationship she had with Ino as kids. Also, the fact that those flashbacks are so similar, in a way, with Sakura's past and then, not only the similarity, but her symbol is featured makes me believe that via the Hashirama flashbacks, we are getting an idea of the potential power-ups Sakura will receive. That of course implies she'll get stronger.
Hope I made myself clear. ^_^
Gah, so hard to explain when it's not your native language, heh. ^^'
It was canonically stated that the gedo mazo is the empty shell of the juubi that madara summoned from the moon when he awoke the rinnegan. There's no uzumaki link there. Full stop. I call a spade a spade and i don't cling onto outdated beliefs that have nothing to back them up. Nonetheless, if you'd like you can see the thread that i made:
You must be registered for see links
That^ pretty much convinced me not to read too much into symbols drawn at random places in the manga. More often than not it does'nt mean anything. As you can see the thread was made a year ago but has been disproven by subsequent events in the manga.
Well about the zetsu thing who else would it be? She's the only medic ninja who was even capable of trouncing a white zetsu so its quite logical for her to have been the one to figure it out.
Still, good effort on the thread.
I wouldnt be surprised , youre a mod now after all.
I will check your thread. And as I said, I do believe it's a link because I do believe that the Sage was an Uzumaki and those chains appear because they are quite similar to those chains Kushina used to restrain the Fox, back in the chapters. Like I said, I'd recommend to you Derp Obito.
He had given much more insight in this matter than I did.
About Zetsu...who else would it be...well, if you think at it, any other medic or any other cast that could've tricked him. Yet it was Sakura.
If she wouldn't have had nothing to do with it, anyone else could've been featured there.
So why have her?
But thanks anyway!
And sorry, but I don't get the mod thing, I am afraid I don't understand what you were trying to say... ^^'
Yup just like how Kishimoto foreshadowed Sakuras genjutsu prowess and supreme chakra control back in part 1, lol if Kishimoto does not follow on with respect to her character from far more explicit cases, do you honestly believe hes going to do so from a subtle one as this? Sakura, and also Kakashi although to a lesser extent, stopped being main characters some time after the Gaara rescue arc. Ever since the Pain arc, this manga has two main characters who actually have a role in the overall plot of the manga and they are Naruto and Sasuke.
Well, supreme chakra control had its purpose. For medical skills and chakra enhanced strength. Which, the second, happens to be known only by Hashirama, Tsunade and herself. Coincidence much? So yes, the part with supreme chakra control was covered. It only remains the genjutsu one and the manga is still not done.
Actually, Kishi does do that. He had developed her properly and in-character, not out-of-character like I've seen some cases. But because she wasn't that power-house type, people think that she's left behind. She's not. But I won't go in-depth with that here, to be honest.
Not the time and I don't have the time either. I'd argue as well that part with the Pein Arc, but meh, to each his own.
It's easier to think this way because we're reading the chapters week by week, though they're meant to be read volume by volume.
You'd see how your perception changes then. But, anyway...
The only arc of the manga that Sakura actually did have relevance to was the team 7 subplot and Kishimoto literally retconned her out of that in the kage summit arc wherein she put herself in the kitchen ("the only thing I can do is believe in them"). If she isnt going to play a part in that she certainly isnt going to be relevant to the Senju/Uchiha subplot.
Actually, that is the plot itself, that's why there she was used as a plot-device, because that plot isn't yet over. But I bet you have your own believes regarding that so I guess in the end it's better to end it here and agree to disagree.
