I know but it seemed like he was subtly getting her to fall for him but he wasn't doing it as obvious as in part one . If you know what I'm talking about .
Yeah, I see what you're saying. He didn't stop trying completely of course, he just really cooled down and was no longer asking for dates every time they met. So yeah his will did help, but even then that would not change Sakura's feeling unless she wanted it to. No matter how much Naruto tried, if Sakura didn't feel that way about him she would have told him flat out.
Lucky that won't ever happen and through subtle determination on Naruto's part, Sakura had begun to fall for him.
