Tohno Shiki's Content

Too many haters are jumping to conclusions that this is the downfall of NaruSaku and that Naruto is rejecting Sakura and all that. In my opinion though, I believe the chapter after this one will make the two of them seem alot better, especially if the truth about what Sasuke has done, and what the rookies plan on doing to him is put out onto the table for Naruto to know. I think Naruto's response to Sakura's confession and her response to his response will actually bring them closer, but i'm just going off of a feeling...

While I'm far from believing that this is the downfall or even a setback to NS, I highly doubt that Naruto will end up distancing himself from Sasuke regardless of what he is told. The point everyone is trying to make here is not that Naruto is rejecting Sakura, but that he is accusing Sakura of not being true to herself by denouncing Sasuke and confessing to Naruto. His feelings for her put aside, he knows that she is lying about no longer caring about what happens to Sasuke. Therefore, the problem lies not with Naruto's response to Sakura's confession, but rather the manner in which her confession was made, as well as its contents. I believe that an honest confession will be impossible until they meet Sasuke face to face and Sakura is able to sort out her feelings.

Well, what was being said can be read with different lights, as has been do in this topic for 14 pages. But the text plus the images looks really messed up...

Edit: Wait, why do we lack almost all the left pages? @_@

No matter how it's taken, what is being said would hardly qualify as a confession of Sakura's true feelings. As you pointed out, this does tally up with the expressions on their faces.

Ok, call me a pessimist, but I'm not liking everyone's expressions a bit. I'm not talking about Naruto, who seems really surprised, or Sakura, which eyebrows looks too forced, but Kakashi, Sai, Kiba, Lee and Yamato in the hugging page. They do not look half-relieved or something like this... I see tension in the whole scene =/

So here's the pessimism again. Please, tell me I'm wrong TTATT

It's not only the expressions. What's being said is definitely not right either, so they match up.

Now, I want a confession to happen as much as the next person, but I really doubt that this is the one we've been waiting for.

Looking at things logically, would Sakura ever say that Sasuke means nothing to her? Even if her feelings for him are no longer romantic, I doubt that she would give up on his salvation so easily. At the least, she would care for him as a friend regardless of what he did, given her personality. Putting this together with the fact that she asked Naruto to forget the promise and stop going after him probably means that she intends to use her confession as a means of stopping Naruto from hurting himself any further by pursuing Sasuke. I don't know about you all, but a confession which is a result of Sakura not caring about Sasuke is not exactly the ideal for me. Rather than coming to terms with her former feelings for Sasuke, she would be simply erasing his existence from her life, which would really cheapens the whole confession. As Naruto said, she is simply lying to herself by forcing upon herself the idea that she likes Naruto and doesn't care about Sasuke. Her resulting confession is simply an attempt on her part to end Naruto's hunt for Sasuke and therefore prevent him from being hurt any further.

With that said, I believe that sections of what Sakura said to Naruto were true. For example, the fact that he's always been by her side and cheering her on is almost definitely something that she has realised in the last few chapters. However, what she said about Sasuke is simply too far-fetched and out of character to be taken as her true feelings. If NaruSaku truly results from this confession without any further developments, it would be a meaningless victory to me. Rather than Sakura facing her feelings and realising who she loves, she would simply be cutting Sasuke out of the picture and choosing Naruto as a result of that.

It's quite simple. While Naruto probably cares equally for Sakura and Sasuke (albeit in different ways), he has more reason to regret what happened with Sasuke. Whereas Sakura is right by his side and a close friend of his, Sasuke has drifted away from him. His inability to bring Sasuke back and the possibility that Naruto might never do so probably weighs down on his mind, to the extent that Sasuke has become Naruto's biggest regret. It's not surprising that Itachi's genjutsu ended up the way it did.
