what do u think
-When they were escorting Tazuna to the Wave Country, Sasuke rushed in front of Sakura to protect her and Tazuna, even though Kakashi would have come.
-When Sasuke and Naruto were fighting Haku, Zabuza went to attack Tazuna but Kakashi protected him and Sakura screamed. When she did, you could hear worry in Sasuke's voice when they heard her.
-During the Chuunin Exams in The Forest of Death, when Sasuke and Sakura first found Orochimaru, disguised as a grass nin, when he stabbed his leg to get rid of the whole frozen in fear thing, when he went to pick up Sakura, he could have done it many ways, but he chose to pick her up bridal style.
-Again during the Chunnin Exams in The Forest of Death, when Sasuke and Naruto were fighting Orochimaru disguised as a grass nin, after Orochimaru gave Naruto the five-pronged seal. When Sakura called him a coward, he reacted. He didn't react when Naruto called him a coward.
-After Orochimaru gave Sasuke the Cursed Seal, Sakura went to help him. I'm not sure if this is just because he was in a lot of pain, but instead of dealing with the pain by himself, like I thought he would, he actually let Sakura help him and the animators made him faint onto her. In addition, you could see how Sasuke squeezes Sakura's hand with his own, as if asking her to not let him go.
-Also during the Chuunin Exams in The Forest of Death, when Sasuke wakes up, the first thing he does is ask Sakura who hurt her. Even the the influence of the Curse Seal couldn't change the bond he has with her.
-Another in The Forest of Death, when Sakura hugged him, the Curse Seal receded. I think that happened because Sakura's just about the only person who can suppress Sasuke's dark side...the pity things is it wasn't enough...
-During the Preliminary Rounds of the Chuunin Exams, the first thing Sasuke thought of when he was trying to make his curse mark recede was the image of Sakura crying, begging him to stop. Again a proof that Sakura has some sort of control over his mind.
-After Gaara semi-changed into his Shukaku form, and after he pinned Sakura to the tree with his sand hand, Sasuke told Naruto that he had better save Sakura no matter what, then run away.
-Also during this time, Sasuke also said that he wouldn't allow another important friend to die in front of him, referring to Sakura.
-Again during this time, when Sasuke went to catch Sakura after the sand released her, there were many ways of catching her, but he had to catch her bridal style. I know that's the way she fell, but then, who made her fall that way. The people who make Naruto. I say, they're hinting something by making Sakura fall in that manner. -Once again, after Sasuke caught Sakura and went to lay her down on a branch, if you look closely, you will noticed his hand lingers under her head for a split second.
-Do I have to say it, when Sasuke told Pakkun to take care of Sakura, you could hear worry in his voice. His eyes also softened a bit.
-After the Hokage's funeral, in the flashback when Sakura asked Sasuke if he save her, he said that Naruto saved her. You can tell that he had regret and sadness in his voice. Like he wanted to save her.
-When they were escorting Idate through the race, while on the boat when the Rain nin were attacking, Sakura's arm was hit by a kunai. Even though it was only a small cut, when she cried out in pain, Sasuke showed a hint of worry on his face. (More than just a hint in my book.)
-When Ino hugged him during the Chuunin Exams, Sasuke was very mad and pissed off. But when Sakura hugged him in the hospital, he didn't have any hatred in his eyes and he let her.
-During Naruto and Sasuke's fight on the hospital roof, when Sakura ran in the way to try and stop them, Sasuke wanted to pull back. It means he cares for her well being in some way; or else, he would have just ran her through.
-This one I thought was implied. Who confronted Sasuke the night he left? Sakura. And there was more to it than it seems: I think Sakura, judging by the look Sasuke had in his eyes, really made Sasuke wonder if he should leave. Watch it closely, people! -Again, when Sasuke was leaving, he put up with all of Sakura's talking instead of ignoring her like he normally does. He even gave her a speech. A short one, but still.
-Also when Sasuke was leaving, before he knocked her out, he said "Thank you." This shows that he was actually thankful that she loves him...provided that Sakura was almost the only person in the world who actually loved him (he lost his family after all) and still loves him...that's way worth to be thanking her for, don't you think?
-The night Sasuke was leaving, just before he said, "Sakura...Thank you" you can see, if you look closely, that he's biting his lower lip before he talks and then knocks her out.
-In the English dub, you can hear how sincere Sasuke's voice is.
-Also in the English dub, Sasuke, instead of saying, "Thank you" like in the Japanese, he says "Thank you for everything." I know they want to get the lip motions right but come on, how can that NOT point to something.
-When Sasuke knocked her out, he could have left her on the ground where she lay, but he chose to lay her on the bench.
-After Sasuke knocked Sakura out I could tell that he caught her. The thud when the screen was blank sounds like Sakura fell to the ground but it's actually Sasuke catching her. I know this because of the way Sakura started to fall. That ground was stone and if Sasuke didn't catch her, she would have hit her head severely. If that happened, she wouldn't have been able to wake up the next morning when the ANBU people woke her up.
-Sasuke knows that Sakura is weaker than Naruto, yet he doesn't call her 'weak' or 'idiot'. Just 'annoying'. And I also think that he calls her like that in a good way...I mean by annoying someone, you could really make yourself noticed and even show your better side...Welll, at least this is how it is the real life...So why the hell this cannot be in anime too? In conclusion: Sakura manages to at least make him feel something.
Only for up to date manga readers... -Very subtle hint that may just be my opinion. When Sasuke blows up the hallway and he's looking down in the hole at Sai, Sakura is the first one to see the new Sasuke. She's the one he last saw when he left Konoha (left the city, not during the Find Sasuke Arc) and she's the first one he sees out of Team 7.
-When Naruto, Sakura, Sai and Yamato go to find Sasuke, and after they do. It was after Sasuke talked with the Kyuubi. He said that he didn't want to use any of his cruder methods. Of course, Orochimaru stopped him, but that shows that even after two and a half years, he still cares, even if it's just a little. He still has "bonds."
-When Naruto, Sakura, Sai and Yamato met up with Sasuke, the only one to come out from that meeting physically unharmed was Sakura.
-Some say that Karin, in Team Hebi, has hot pink hair. That is possible, cause if the pink is darker, i think manga-drawers would actually make them black...well, you can't make them grey, like between light pink and brown or red. But back to the topic. If Karin did have pink hair then maybe Sasuke picked her because she reminded him of Sakura. The pink hair and the specialty with chakra.
the sad things is this was all part one sasuke
