You know you should really read into the argument that is presented to you(as the manga says in a constant theme, "Look underneath the underneath"). The newer generation will always surpass the older. Naruto symbolizes the newer generation of Jiraiya. I think we can all agree that Jiraiya didn't fail as a ninja, in fact he was one of the best. There is things that Jiraiya failed at in his life, and that is love. :naruto:
Jiraiya had fallen in love with Tsunade from the time they were little, but the time never came to pass where he could express his love for her. Whether it was due to her brother dying, Her falling in love with Dan, or her leaving the village because she couldn't deal with the heart ache(and she felt cursed). In any case towards the end of Jiraiya's life it looked like he might finally have a shot with her, but we all know what happened (don't wanna bring up bad memories in the manga). The point is that in terms of Naruto, he has only one thing to surpass his sensei in and that is love. Naruto has loved Sakura since they were little(sound familiar). If he is to surpass his sensei in love, logic dictates that he would get the girl that he's been after since the beginning. :naruto:
This also has a connotation between Tsunade and Sakura. Sakura is the Newer generation of Tsunade. Again if you look at it, Tsunade (much like Jiraiya) has not failed as a ninja. Damn she even became Hokage, but if there is one area that she has failed in her life it would be love. With the combination of Dan dying and not realizing Jiraiya's feelings for her before it was too late, she has completely lost out in love. Sakura again is the next generation of Tsunade, and if logic dictates she is supposed to surpass the older generation. Sakura's love life is confused. She has feelings for both Naruto and Sasuke. :naruto:
In my opinion and if we are to follow logic, since she has feelings for Naruto (and if you don't see that and ask me to prove it, be prepared to read it) and Naruto has feelings for Sakura, then logic dictates that they should get together at the end (since the newer generation is supposed to surpass the older one). :naruto:
In conclusion, we all have to wait and see; however, in my opinion if we look underneath the underneath, it is my firm believe that NaruSaku will happen. Sorry for the long post, just got started and I couldn't stop. :headband:
