It's possible that it will be. It's as Quinny said. It's pretty much the foundation for NS, and where we're aware of his feelings for her, and why he does like her. It's where we see Sakura start to view Naruto differently. It's where I started shipping NS.

Also, sure, it was already used as a flashback but it was only used BECAUSE of Sakura. It wasn't delved into so it wouldn't be lame if it was used again IMO. If it were used in Naruto's case, would you still consider it lame? Just asking. I definitely wouldn't, and if it were addressed, it'd be pretty awesome IMO. I want to see her response to knowing that it was Naruto who transformed into Sasuke.

Quinny.

I agree with you for sure. I think it should be known to her that it was Naruto. The response is what I would love to see from her. It'd be crazy if Sakura holds that moment in her heart because she was lead on in a way by Naruto unintentionally...

Why would naruto remember that particular scene? I would really like to see in the future chapters more from naruto's feelings for sakura. But if he'll have a flashback then I would prefer it to ne when they were even younger, the first time he ever saw young sakura. And that scene wasn't the reason she fell in love with sasuke, you can tell because she still fangirled over him after that. And when sakura had a flashback when she wanted to kill sasuke; she remembered when he thanked her but why didn't she remember the bench scene? Because it's not THAT significent to her.

You know what would be even better? If naruto had a flashback to lots of event that happened in different times. He could remember young sakura,the bench scene, her feeding him, moments that she was nice to him; or even an off panel moment like with sai and naruto before sakura's confession.

I didn't say she fell in love with him in that particular scene. I also didn't say that'd be the ONLY scene he remembers though given what happened in it, it'd be a nice scene to be brought back up in the future IMO, because even then, Naruto's feelings for her were realized in that chapter were they not?

The bolded would definitely be nice for sure. But still, I'd want to see her response to knowing it was Naruto all along who complimented her. Certain scenes can trigger certain flashbacks. Kishi could very well work up a scene into remembering the bench scene easily. I can actually think of a few myself. lol

Why would Naruto remember that scene?: Didn't he realize at least one of the reasons why he liked Sakura so much at that time? Why would he forget it? xD. And for Sakura, it was that scene where she was able to tell "Sasuke" what she really wanted from him: To be acknowledged/ accept her. I really doubt she would forget it because that's basically her telling him something pretty serious. She probably didn't think about it when she was about to kill him because it ended so badly with Sasuke calling her annoying. But I'd also like to see when Naruto and Sakura first met, since it would explain why he started crushing on her in the first place.

The reason why that bench scene is one of the most important scenes for me, though, is because it was basically Naruto telling Sakura what she's always wanted to hear from the guy she likes. It shows that Naruto could really be good for her and is probably the boy she's always dreamed of having: One who would turn her insecurity into something good.

Orihime is a main character but Rukia is the main female character #1 and Orihime is the main female character #2, so... XD

Way to just crush my dream. LOL I still think they have a better chemistry than IR. They mesh well for sure.

LOL Nah, you're fine. I was just pulling your leg. Thing I like about that one is, it can really go either way. Both were built up from the beginning and he's super close to both of them now. I just side with IH because they're so awesome together and Orihime is more interesting IMO.

[Slextrem]

I think what makes the bench scene significant, from Sakura's perspective, is that Naruto was able to understand her fantasy and fulfill it for her. He was the first guy to compliment her insecurity and make her feel accepted. Granted, he shot himself in the foot because he did so while disguised as Sasuke. That's why I would like for Kishimoto to revisit the scene and reveal the truth about it to Sakura.

I firmly believe that because of Naruto's henge, Sakura's crush on Sasuke started to develop into more than what it was. In fact, I believe part of the reason why she's still in love with Sasuke is because of that moment. During the bench scene, Sakura sees a Sasuke that understands her, that accepts her despite her insecurity, that compliments her in the exact way that she always dreamed of, and almost shares a kiss with her. I wouldn't be surprised if, deep down, Sakura still believes that underneath the murderous rage this Sasuke exists and that is why she still loves him.

Imagine Minato rescuing Kushina and complimenting her hair while disguised as Uchiha Fugaku. Things might have turned out a lot differently had that been the case. Remember, Kushina fell in love with Minato during that moment, so despite it being Minato that saved her and complimented her hair, Kushina may have started developing feelings for Fugaku instead. MinaKushi would have ended up being a much closer parallel to NaruSaku if that had happened.

That's why Sakura learning the truth behind the bench scene is important to most NaruSaku fans. We want Sakura to realize that Sasuke has never been the great guy that this scene caused her to think him to be. From the start, it has always been the annoying blonde kid that was always getting in her way. It is Naruto that understands her. It is Naruto that accepts her. It is Naruto that loves her, and she unknowingly fell in love with him from the very beginning.

Well i'll just say agree to disagree, because that scene didnt made her fall in love with Sasuke more, it would have an effect if he acted cool with her, but he was strange he wasnt the same "Sasuke" who flirted with her, and still he acted cold and called her "annoying" he pratically destroyed the Naruto buildup for Sasuke, when she thinks about Sasuke those panels are not even brought up so yeah it's for comic relief, Naruto almost stole Sakura's first kiss disguised as Sasuke and when you touch a henge no jutsu on that level it dissipates so yeah when Naruto kiss her it, he would come back to "normal".

YEs Naruto was going to be Bi, kissing Sakura and Sasuke on the same day.

The thing about the bench scene, it can be brought up again with a flashback, and to make it a complete parallel to MK with Sakura realizing that it was Naruto and all. But, Kishi could leave it be that way and just a parallel, not complete, to MK. It can work both ways.
Though, I think the chances to be brought up again are more. So, we'll see Kishi's choice about it.

THIS and so much of it. Couldn't agree more.

I actually wouldn't be surprised she still held out hope because of that moment, and it'd be understandable as well given what happened during that time. SASUKE complimented her and almost kissed her. I mean, that's covering a lot of ground in one chapter, and then as you've said, he said what she wanted to hear. Naruto definitely shot himself in the foot, and he sort of toyed with her feelings there. It was actually pretty selfish. Imagine if he had gotten the chance to kiss her... O_o


T XD


LOL They look great together as well. Can't deny that one.

I agree. It's not that we necessarily need it but I definitely want it to be brought back up since it was a big moment IMO. It'd also complete the parallel. I can picture Sakura saying something like, "All along, it was Naruto. All this time, I've been reaching for the wrong person. It was always Naruto who truly saw me." I wants this scene to be brought back up! lol

I'm actually happy that things turned out the way they did. Even though Naruto potentially caused her to deepen her love for Sasuke, we are able to watch Sakura fall in love with Naruto on her own because of the way things played out. She runs into the real Sasuke, is told that she's annoying, and decides to change her attitude towards Naruto. From that point on, it's NaruSaku all the way.

[Sakura Blossoms]

Well i'll just say agree to disagree,

All our members communicating and debating peacefully. Keep it up, everyone. You're doing much much better now

I'll put this in here so as not to deviate from the thread topic too much... --Click here to view--

The scenario I like to envision, in the case of the bench scene ever being revealed, is one where Naruto is wounded, near death even, and Sakura is hovering over him trying desperately to heal him. And Naruto, fearing that he isn't gonna make it, suddenly reaches out to Sakura and before she can react, pulls her in close enough to plant a kiss on her forehead. Then, upon letting her go the conversation that followed would be something along the lines of:

Naruto: (soft laugh) I've wanted to do that for so long...
Sakura: (flustered) W-w-what are you -
Naruto: - I mean after all, your forehead is so...
Sakura: ...?
Naruto: (smiles) ...So charming.
Sakura: ?
Sakura: .....! (gasps)
(At this point we're given 3-4 panels of flashbacks of chap.
3 and then...)
Sakura: You....y-you mean...it...it was you...?
Naruto: (smiling warmly, tearing up)
Sakura: (tearing up) It was you?!

Aand thats as far as I've got, but it's something of a potential moment I can imagine happening if chapter 3 was ever revisited.

But to keep to the thread (it's great to see everyone making the effort to get along, but still, this is the 615 thread), is anyone thinking about what Shikaku's plan is? How it involves Naruto? And what Naruto's (and Hinata's) next move is?

This makes me want it even more.... I have an idea... I'm gonna use this script btw Quinny if that's alright with you.

Slex

Oh, I don't mind that it happened that way actually, because it still doesn't change anything about how I feel about this awesome pairing. They're still amazing, and the progression of their relationship has been quite telling, but as we've said before it'd be great to go back to the start of it all for us. Chapter 3. This is how I feel about it anyway. He should incorporate this in the story somehow.

Doubt Gai will use 8th gate considering the 7th gate is already enough to deal a blow to the juubi.

[Quinny52]

@Strider - Nah, I don't mind, mate, go ahead. Just don't forget my props if your 'idea' turns out good.

@Chucky - It was enough to deal a blow to Madara, but we don't know what it could do now, against that thing. And to be fair, Guy was contemplating using the 8th gate earier on in the fight, against the Bijuu Mode Edo Jinchuuriki.

Guys, about 615... am I the only curious one regarding Madara? "You become just like I used to be, Obito..."
What made Madara turn into that? Also... his sayings about love back in the old days. Am I smelling another love triangle between him, Hashi and Mito?
I know I may be thinking too much into it, but the newer chapters just reinforce my thoughts on it.

Um....

For me, Sakura gave me the impression irregardless anything Sasuke said and acted he was still her Sasuke-kun who would have kissed her at that moment.
I feel like you are mixing in the two POVs; one from Sakura's and the other from Sasuke.

I do believe it would be revisited especially from what Kushina said about Minato and her hair.
