Naruto: (after pausing for a moment) How can I? I mean after all I'm the guy who can't even keep a promise to her..
its a part like this you hope Naruto will win in the end because of how much he cares for her. Knowing what will come in the dub episodes soon (469) and eventually later this year (615) still not worried because 631 is still the beacon we have beyond all this. Naruto still loving Sakura and Sakura=Kushina is the best news in years since this moment.
Man, in those events I really see how much Naruto resembles a certain guy... guess who? Obito.
I mean right now no one cares for him, he's been as @ss and don't give a damn about nothing and will step on anyone to achieve his goals.
But I just took a trip on youtube watching how the kid died and guess what? What a terrible way to die... I mean really. I felt bad for him for the first time.
You can really see how much he cared for his group back then, mostly Rin. He died under a boulder, seeing his main rival walking out with the girl he loves and still had the guts to give his eye lying on a tray for Kakashi to continue taking care of Rin.
It was really sad in the end when he mentions how he couldn't even tell her how he feels.
I'll toss a little prediction here. Before Obito's done, Naruto will try to persuade him once more because that's just the way he is... take Pein as an example. Obito also seems very interested in Naruto and obviously sees himself on him. There's definetely more talk between the two coming.
When 637 came out I thought Kishimoto was tossing Obito out the window in cold blood. But now I can say Obito will redeem himself in the end. He will still probably die... but before it happens, he (or his soul most likely) will be redeemed and Naruto will be playing a big part in that.
Obito's story will eventually be brought in and Naruto will identify himself, as they could be walking on each other shoes right now (Naruto mentioned it about Sasuke, so I'm assuming Naruto will think the same here).
Obito's main motivations are Rin, Rin and Rin. A possible conversation about their old teams and how they feel about them will most likely take place, including how much they love the female part although such feeling was never reciprocated (in Naruto's point of view, it has never been so far).
Having such comparison between the two teams would be something very interesting if you ask me and would also blow holes in every argument saying there's no proof Naruto loves Sakura.
So yeah... more good stuff is coming.
