Organic_dinosaur translated a bit of kishi's interview from the movie:
- Please tell us what is (your) favourite scene in this work(/movie).
- When Naruto confessed and got rejected (laugh). It seemed as though it was like, “Giving a test to Naruto”, “ Don’t push your luck”, “Hang in there, Naruto”. I like that about that scene (laugh). Later, Sakura and Naruto mutually recognise that they are not romantically interested in each other, and it’s also their parting scene, where Sakura is speaking on behalf of Hinata’s feelings to Naruto. I also like that scene.
Also, this statement corroborates what kishi in a prior interview:
This movie, in an extent (/in a sense), from the beginning, Naruto was always saying (how) he always liked Sakura. It’s a story about Naruto and Sakura’s parting.
So it seems that in Kishi's mind there was some sort of feelings there before The Last, and it wasn't just a rivalry thing.
JFC This men is on Drugs . First they loved each other romantically , then they didn't it was all friendship but oh wait it was bc of rivalry , it was all misleading their selfless love is not romantic only selfish obsessed love is true love and in the end he laughed and enjoyed NS parting away for good
.
