Talk:Road to Sakura

real world and illusionary world
the sakura we see in this episode i think is the one from the illusinary world. in that world her parents are shinobi and die when she was young. but are the real sakura parents shinobi?? --Nitram86 (talk) 16:54, July 26, 2012 (UTC)

Summary
Who has understood everything, and is brave enough for this quest? --Vecanoi (talk) 18:43, July 26, 2012 (UTC)

It appears this episode was intended as a connection to the upcoming Naruto movie: Road to Ninja... hence the title and the movie poster shown behind lee early in the episode.

The movie is set in an alternate universe (AU) where Tobi strikes the village of Konoha and threatens to use the moons eye plan for world domination. A distinction between the two is that the alternate universe displays a world where Minato and Kushina do not die during the nine tailed attack.

I deduce that the AU Sakura was sent on a mission, by AU Tsunade, onto that tree branch for an unknown reason. When AU Sakura saw her parents from the original universe (OU) she began to recall the events of what happens in the movie, which would explain the red moon seen at the end and the red sky in her flashback. Upon regaining her memories the jutsu that sent her to the OU ceased.


 * When Sakura had her fellow ninja comrades perform ridiculous stunts she appeared to be remembering all that the opposite world would look like... for example:

Neji: OU> all seeing (byakugan). AU> Blindfolded (could mean he is blind) Choji: OU> Always eating. AU> mouth covered Hinata: OU> timid, wears concealing clothing. AU> thin clothing revealing boobs Shikamaru: OU> Genius. AU> Idiot Kiba: OU> Dogs. AU> Cats (Akamaru is a kat) Shino: OU> bug lover. AU> Bug killer (venus fly traps)

This is just a deduction based on observation
