God damn, this makes us look bad as a fandom.
Wow can't believe NS fans have sunk to this level. Such a shame
I think the case here is that almost nobody expected NH/SS to happen at the same time. While I personally consider myself a fan of NH I didn't ever think it would become a reality, NS fans on the other hand claim that Naruto and Sakura had the development going on and an NS end would have made much more sense in that regard. Now I can imagine that if the opposite had happened plenty of NH and SS fans would have dropped the issue, but with SS happening Sakura's development never moved an inch forward and NH isn't that bad but it's kind of lacking in development (but I always say quality > quantity)The Irony is...from what I have encountered from both sides over the years...that It would be just as bad if Kishimoto had gone the alternate route and chose a Naruto/Sakura ending.
Guess it wasn't such a good idea to play both sides after all.
