Its easy to read as A B and yeah C . There is nothing to debate or discuss here.
Moving on...
Sasuke's feelings? What feelings? The only feelings he ever expressed were towards - his bro and clan oh and Naruto more or less(BF?)
Hinata expressed her feelings way back in the pain arc... but here is the catch , she never wanted an answer if Naruto loves back. Elaborate on it... She got her moment holding Naruto's hand , and that was it... Now if you still believe that she still holds romantical feelings for Naruto , than answer this - He openly stated infront of her Sakura is his GF. Her raction? .......
Nothing .. If i am not mistaking her wish was to hold his hand and stop chasing after him. Now nothing is canon untill its on black and white. But keep it in mind...
That is why i am leaving Hinata out of the game as i did earlyer - she may get her offical closer of feelings i dont see it coming , cuz kishi kind of ended it . >.<
And last but not least -Sakura's. Here is the thing , her feelings for Naruto have been questioned 3 times , and 3 times her answer or rather chance to speak for herself was stolen so to say.
Now lets start with 540 - we see her thinking of Sasuke not in positive way (or maybe yes ) who knows.. However in chapter 573 her thoughts are pictured pretty good stating ''No matter what you say we will be together , not just me we all are'' . She didnt say- well i am with you untill Sasuke comes.
See my point ?
Now her feelings towards Naruto are almost confirmed that can be debated till yeah forever ....
And i can sit her and write the whole night what ,why . The one thing i am going to say is this - She needs to get her chance in showing her full love for him.
So untill the time comes , we dont know 100%/101% but round 99% - the black and white thing i said earlyer.
I am not dismissing the fact that she still may have some feelings for Sasuke , but we dont know what they are..
635 can be interpreted in many ways. She is conflicted but why?
I am going to give 2 maybe 3 examples - it is your choosing to accept them or not.
1- It has been a staple since part 1. She loved Sasuke in the beginning and wanted to so bad to be by his side. She even was willing to lie to him and make him a fake promise to keep him in the village. Soon Naruto jumped on board and wanted to grant her wish of bringing him back. So, since part 1, it has been a rather direct focus on Sakura's character and whether or not she still holds feelings for him. We knew she had them back then, but today we are not sure whether she still feels the same. Given continuity, this is the more popular idea confliction and has been used in many of debates even to this day. Some even use it as a reason why SS is still alive. Also given that she thought about him in 540, albeit in negative light, she at least still thinks about him. This is also the perfect thing to add to the "Love triangle" pairing drama that has built up the entire manga so far.
2- This is actually something I thought about recently and I wonder if this will play a bigger role later on. She knows the fight is gonna occur. She knows Naruto is willing to die for Sasuke if need be, so perhaps she is thinking to herself: "Should I stay back and let them fight or should I interfere and protect Naruto preventing his possible death (and maybe even Sasuke's)?" I have no doubt she wants to go against Sasuke if Naruto's life is at risk, but she also said that she was willing to stay out of it. You have this man who you love and care about about to fight a man you used to love and care about who are both willing to fight to the end and die. Could she sit back and let it happen? Would it be better to watch them die or to try and save them? Perhaps she can create a difference. It would shows her actually showing a resolve and doing exactly what she said she was going to do in 573. It would make it interesting to see another three Sannin fight again with the newer, more powerful, generation at the helm. Sakura does have the power to change the outcome, but is she willing to risk her life and the life of all she cared about for it? What if she fails and she makes things worse? It would be a huge conflict some would face.
I know i know its a bit large , but if you want my point of view , its right here ...
Do not foget that the only relevations when it comes to love or feelings that are left are:
Sasuke<-Sakura->Naruto aka team 7 . ( In what light she sees them )
No, i do not see your point. Thats almost all just theoryzing and i dont think Hinata's feelings will be cast aside just yet, Naruto will probably confront her about that after the war, Naruto is not the type of guy that just forgets something as important as that. Its true that Sakuras feelings are confusing but wanting to accept it or not: They are there. And she cant really develop proper feeling for Naruto until that is eliminated. And she lied to Naruto in her confession, the motive however is unimportant for us now. For pairings to happen, someone has to let go of his crush/love for another character and im beting on Naruto.

She lied? Huh.. i could rant 2 page long here , but i am going to say just this:
If Sakura's '''fake confession'' was actually fake - why would he tell his dad that she is his girlriend.. Maybe he believes her , but they are not in an actual relationship that's why he said more or less , they did not have the time to talk ''bout it ya know war, sasuke? Her feelings she said it back then already , but was interupted by him , cuz the focus was on him forgeting about Sasuke. The lie was forget about him i dont care... She did not lie about her feelings.
Nvm , i see that you chose to ignore what ive said about everything ...... and ignore 631 like it was nothing ... Not gonna blame you , everybody does.. Naruto'''crush'' when did he say i drop my crush or i will? Cuz im pretty sure he never did.
Oh yeah btw - i said it already he Friendzoned Hinata , maybe they will talk , maybe not , cuz the main focus is team 7 she is not relevant.

He hesitated, the part 1 Naruto would have never Hesitated, for me thats development. And if you say Sakura's Conffesion is "open for interpretation" No. No. That confession was as fake as...as Sakura's confession. " Naruto, i love you because Sasuke." ...serious?
Look, it was confirmed that the point of the confession was to get Naruto to stop chasing Sasuke. Sai led her to believe that the promise Naruto made her was the reason why Naruto was going through so much trouble to bring Sasuke back, since he loved her. She figured by telling him she loved him instead of Sasuke, it would cancel out Naruto's reason for chasing him and also lift a burden off Naruto's shoulder. Her plan was to bring Naruto back to the village and deal with Sasuke herself.

1.) Their interaction against one another has changed.
The previous chapters
Naruto and Sakura's reactions were completely different compared to the previous chapters. When Konohamaru asked him, He blushed and said, "Wow you guys are perceptive!" (His face and posture was same with the Tazuna scene)
And Sakura has denied it, and punched him for making the wrong assumption. After that Naruto will just get hurt, a little disappointed and quiet (lol).
The current chapter
However this time, Naruto said it in a serious manner. His face didn't have the blush nor the hand behind the head when he's joking, or embarrassed. Sakura also didn't deny it like she used to. She head bumped him and he retorted back to her (in a cute way), WHICH he would have never done before! (Usually, he would get scared and shut up, especially if he's told to do so.)
His ''hesitation'' i s more like “Why would you ask this in such a situation” face he have right there. It’s suprise covering his face, not confusion .
The fake confession - Sakura has just found out that Sasuke, for no particular reason that she can comprehend, has joined a group of international criminals who are hell bent in destroying Konoha. This same group is after the nine containers of the bijuu, her other teammate, Naruto, whom she has just been told loves her completely and unconditionally (she knows just from looking back at his past actions concerning her, i.e. the Promise of a Lifetime), is the container of the nine-tailed demon fox.
Then Shikamaru walks in and tells her what he and the others have decided to do with Sasuke, the one she knows Naruto sees as more than a friend, but as a brother.
She takes it upon herself to tell Naruto that she and the others have decided to take out Sasuke, but how could she tell him? She knows better than anyone else how such a decision would destroy him.
So, to protect him from the truth and take away the burden of that promise, she decides to confess and get him to go back to the village. She knows that doing so might make Naruto hate her, but she doesn’t care. She just wants him safely away from the Akatsuki. If it works, the hunter Shinobi can take it from there concerning Sasuke.
I’ve heard some people point out that when Naruto thinks about it, we’re only given panels of Sakura’s love for Sasuke. It never occurs to them that Naruto never really did see Sakura’s selfless love for him.
They also argue the angry looks on everyone’s faces. That’s because Kiba and the others thought that they were there to tell Naruto what they had planned to do about Sasuke, but Sakura couldn’t bring herself to do it.
Out of all four confessions, this one is the only one to be:
1-taken as a joke
2-called a lie
3-take place somewhere other than Konoha
4 happens in the snow
5 this is the only confession where physical contact was made
6This is the only confession that was interrupted
When the confession failed to do what she needed it to, Sakura went to plan b. Kill Sasuke.
When Sai explains why Sakura couldn’t tell Naruto the truth, I think Naruto realizes something.
Actions speak louder than words.
The problem with Sakura’s confession was that she was too focused on convincing Naruto to give up on Sasuke instead of telling him why and how she fell in love with him. I’m willing to bet it was because, in all honesty, she doesn’t really know why or how. She just does.

Thats bull. She didnt deny it but what did she do? She punched him in the head,thats preety much denying it. And...it wasnt cute. For you maybe, but not for anyone else, and i stil think he hesitated, maybe its because we both see things differently.

Look, the reason it was taken as a joke was Naruto's reaction. if you say its "up for intepretation" its bullsh**. to prove my point I'll use the two other confessions from the series: Sakura's confession to Sasuke and Hinata's to Naruto. They are legit confessions which proves that Kishimoto CAN write a good love confession, something that is genuine. Sakura's confession to Naruto does not follow this, hew didnt make it seem legit when Sakura confessed to Naruto. Hes not stupid, he only knows how to write its own story. Look, it was confirmed that the point of the confession was to get Naruto to stop chasing Sasuke. Sai led her to believe that the promise Naruto made her was the reason why Naruto was going through so much trouble to bring Sasuke back, since he loved her. She figured by telling him she loved him instead of Sasuke, it would cancel out Naruto's reason for chasing him and also lift a burden off Naruto's shoulder. Her plan was to bring Naruto back to the village and deal with Sasuke herself. If you see another reason to it it is only theory until further proved.

Hm... and you are telling me that she confessed her feelings just like that ? That she has no feelings at all? And lie to him just cuz , yeah lets toy with his feelings or it was just pity. No my friend.
I will admit at some point i felt like that , but start asking myself .. why would she do that ? Like what the ...?
I did not know to believe it or not , but then i checked something important as culture - Japanese culture... to be precise..
And their is quite diffrent than ours or other's...
That is the main reason many people hate her .. the false confession .. the problem comes from that we lack knowledge of the Japanese culutre..

A joke? When did Naruto joke about his feelings? Dont you remember that he said i dont like people who lie (joke about feelings ) to themselfs?
Now , why would he lie to himself , Sakura and his DAd? Last time i checked it hurt like ...
Let me remind you : http://narutobase.ne...ga/Naruto/470/6
http://narutobase.ne...a/Naruto/474/11
The joke of the chapter 631 was:
THE APPLE DOES NOT FALL FROM THE TREE.
See what i mean...
Now for the Sasuke/Hinata confessions:
Sakura never planned to tell Sasuke how she felt. She first tried to remind him of all the fun they had as team 7. Sasuke doesn’t even remember hurting her on the day they first became Genin. She dismisses that as it was a long time ago. To me, that speaks volumes about the difference in feelings.
So, she tries a different tactic. She tells him how revenge won’t make anyone happy. It almost builds on what Kakashi said earlier, and confirms to Sasuke that he is on a different path from them, the path of hate and revenge.
Another tactic, she tells him how lonely she’ll be without him, even with all her friends and family. This is the only time he tries to comfort her.
Finally, she comes out and tells him how she feels. She tells him how she is willing to leave the village for him. His response…
“You… make me sick.” ( You are annoying).
Then Sakura takes it all back. She’s not actually willing to leave with him, and threatens to scream for help if he takes one more step. He vanishes and reappears behind her. Thanks her for the confession and for “filling his lonely existence” and knocks her unconscious.
Hinata's - Naruto has been pinned down by Pain, and he’s about to be taken away to have the Kyuubi removed when a young woman with dark blue hair jumps into the fray between Pain and Naruto.
Hinata tells Naruto how she is willing to die to protect him. Naruto was driven further into his pain and hatred, exploding in rage and the already weak seal finally began to come undone.
It wasn’t until Minato interfered that things finally began to turn around.
Then the guy left ...... lol i mean what the... ^^..
I used stuff from tumbler too..
