The last two..how they smile at each other when they don't want to worry each other...
Dem feels! 

To be honest, despite all of Kishi's shortcomings and more than questionable turns, I can't help but not have any complaints about NaruSaku. It has its flaws, sure, but most of these come precisely from how much they care about each other - and by now, each of them has begun to overcome them, and it's a process that we've actually gotten to witness.
So, whenever the guy goes all "I don't know how to write romance", I always think of this sort of scene and the amount of love, thought and care that's gone into these two's relationship. Could Kishi have fared better? Sure. But despite everything, their build-up is fantastic; it's impossible not to root for them when you can look back and literally see all the seeds that grew with time throughout their every interaction with each other. It's precisely this build-up which makes watching how far they've come so meaningful and rewarding, and that's not that easy to achieve, imo.
