NH - no surprise after all the stuff going on for the movie, but I'm highly against this because there was such minimal development of this pairing in the series outside Naruto vs Neji, Hinata's "death", and Neji's death. The Last will have to really impress if this is to win me over.

SS - WTF??? I am extremely angry at this. It ignores all character development that Sakura experienced over the series. Plus, if SaiIno was going to happen, this should never have, since the pairings are basically the exact same thing. Oh - and their daughter looks far more like Karin than Sakura.

The rest of the pairings are fine with me, though I am surprised, albeit satisfied, with ChojixKarui. They may not mention it, but I think LeeTen happened, since Lee clearly got married and Tenten's fate came right after.

To be honest, I think Studio Pierrot or Jump forced Kishi to do NH and SS, since they always rave nonsense about it while Kishi clearly had something else in mind.
