That confession wasn't real or I should say it wasn't 100% real. It was done to create tension/confusion between the two and show a elements of a more reality like situation in love triangles. I believe Naruto got the initial hint that Sakura might like him in the Pein arc hug and it was more or less confirmed after this confession. I don't think any girl would go as far as lie to her best friend that she loves him when she doesn't actually have such feelings.Its difficult enough to lie and say 'I love you' to a person who is not close to you. Doing so to your best friend is almost impossible. But still, I don't think Sakura was 100% sure about her feelings when she confessed. That's why we are bound to get a heartfelt confession soon.

 

I actually do believe NH/SS would be stronger if there hadn't been for Sakura's confession because that confession confirmed that Sakura is indeed conflicted in her feelings. 

 

Agreed.

 

I've posted similar thoughts on this forum many times.  The thing I don't get is why so many people fail to realize the seriousness of the situation in which Sakura confessed.

 

She had just come away from her conversation with Sai, after which she realized she had "been getting it wrong" and she didn't want to "make any more mistakes."

 

So.... Not getting it wrong anymore and not making additional makes means going out of your way to lie to your friend and teammate -- who you just found out is in love with you?

 

Sakura went all the way to the Land of Iron to confront Naruto -- in front of a lot of people -- told Naruto that she loves him, tried to seal the deal with a hug, and then proceeded to have a very personal discussion with him about her feelings for him as well as her misplaced feelings for Sasuke.

 

Kakashi, Yamato, Sai, Lee, and Kiba -- even Akamuru -- heard everything Naruto and Sakura said to each other.  If Naruto had jumped into her arms, was she planning to later say she didn't mean it?  That she was kidding?  That by "love" she meant sisterly love, and that she had only said it because his life was in danger?

 

Was she prepared to sacrifice her credibility with all those witnesses and admit that it had all been a lie, and that she had used Naruto's feelings for her just to save his life?  Please.

 

Even if she didn't know how to let go of Sasuke in that moment -- even if she still had feelings for him and didn't know what they meant because of who he had become -- she still chose Naruto, and knew she was making a public commitment to him.  She knew what she was doing.

 

In #540 we saw that the reality of what Sasuke had become was cemented in Sakura's heart, but it still made her feel bad that she had loved him as long as she had and that it had hurt Naruto so much.

 

Then we get Minato's questioning if she's Naruto's girlfriend, which Naruto confirms and Sakura does not deny.

 

Then we get Kakashi confirming that Sakura will always care about Sasuke, but that her feelings are on a whole other level.

 

For readers to be conflating these things as hints of SS is mind-boggling.  

 

Kishimoto has admitted that he likes to write the dialogue in a way that makes it vague -- to keep people guessing -- but there's only one underlying truth that makes sense.  Sakura chose Naruto way back when Sai talked to her, and Naruto was more open to accepting Sakura's feelings after Sai talked to him.

 

Sai is a yenta, but good thing he is.  Otherwise Naruto and Sakura would still be floundering.

The confession was real, it was likely around the KN4 scene when she figured out her feelings for Naruto were romantic.

The confession was real only Sasuke part was a lie.Other than that her feelings for Naruto are true I believe.She was confused about her feelings but what she said to Naruto showed us that she wasn't lying.In my opinion when she said those words she was being sincere.

@KnS I think people are fixated on the way chapter 469 ended. They're fixated on that line "I hate people who lie to themselves" that Naruto said to Sakura. And a lot of people instantly took Naruto's declaration as religion.

If Naruto said that it must mean it's true. It doesn't matter if everything that we've seen so far contradicts Naruto's statement.

 

However I also want to point out something very funny. People took what Naruto said in 469 as the truth. However when 631/632 came out people started to say that Naruto was joking or doesn't know what he's talking about. So which one is it?

Naruto is an honest boy.He still loves Sakura and he never lies about his feelings.But Sakura said" I don't love Sasuke anymore".Naruto knows Sakura loved Sasuke at that time.

[Kyaerai]

She still lied. Naruto deserves better.

[TouKen4Life3g]

So, what to rely on for haters? Movies aren't good for them, apparently anime is most hated, what took them..., manga, well, that is the original source, right? So now what?

[Uzumaki9000]

She only lied when she was talking about Sasuke. Her feelings for Naruto were true. Soon it's up to her to realise how much Naruto means to her.

This statement could not be more accurate! Naruto talked big in that particular situation but whenever it comes to hearing life-stories of villains and forgiving them, Naruto seems to conveniently forget all his principles and ideals 

[luffyq1]

Naruto is too obsessed with Sasuke. Sakura deserves better.

Fixed.

[Nostradamus]

Yes.  Sigh.  Frustrating, but true.

 

However, Naruto said that before Sai explained things to him.  Hanging on to one statement of Naruto's, made before he had all the facts, is ridiculous.  But then, that's the kind of stuff that blind shippers do.

 

Like you said, if Naruto meant in that moment that he suddenly hated Sakura for lying to herself then what was the point of his admission to Minato?

 

Oy.  Trying to follow the mental gymnastics required to deny NS makes me dizzy.  

[FireFox]

Would Kishi tell them it's canon?

Nope I don't think so Kishi wouldn't reveal that to anyone but I think that they know and are aware of where the story is going in the romance subplot which is NS  .
