Nothing happened after that scene, it only served on the purpose that Sakura may love Naruto afterwards because that scene didnt lead to anything or contributed to her development it was just a hint.
She realized nothing on that scene, it was quickly discarded, and never bought up again neither on her confession, i belive NS only get serious when Sai told her about her feelings, she never crossed her mind a romance with Naruto because she wasnt confronted into it until Sai shows up and after that is that we got a development.
She first decided to be his girlfriend without loving him because she wanted to return the things he did to her and she believed she was an horrible person to his like Sasuke or worse.
It fails and she decides to kill Saske-kun, and she got the confrontation she wanted, he didnt cared about her anymore, and he was evil to a point he was going to kill her without hesitation, she goes to kill him but fails and when she was about to die, Naruto saves her life, in the end she end up "lifiting" his burden about the promise, which makes her feel happy when they came back she's more tender with him, and blah blah blah.
Sidenote : She chose to confess because telling the truth would hurt Naruto, and she didnt wanted that(Naruto fainted again).
I'm talking about the fact of impulse. Both those scenes showed what happened when she let her emotions get the best of her. In both these scenes she could have died. In both these scenes she risked her life. Both these scenes showed her emotions that tipped out of her because she couldn't stand the fact of losing Naruto. Both these scenes showed her love that just happened to show its face in my opinion. I
Who said anything about it being brought up during the confession. I explained it above they both displayed impulse, it displayed what would happen when her feelings comes to the top of the pot for Naruto and each scene that displayed this was stronger than the last one. also, her eyes was widened and her mouth was opened up wide like she was realizing what Yamato was saying, thats what i took from that scene. Yes it also showed the potential love but I don't think Kishi would put that there for potential it showed me that her love for Naruto it hidden inside of her and it is forced out when the time is right, she just hasn't realized it. She listened to his words for two panels straight and I believe that she gathered something from that her feelings was touched upon in both scenes from what i saw. I mean I considered her flirting with him, her holding her heart smiling at him, blushing, her acknowledging that he is more grown up, I considered that as her seeing him in a whole different light right then and there and if Naruto wouldn't have f**cked that up who knows what would have happened? She saw him differently even when he came back from training,until he ruined it himself by acting like a child, in 245 imo she saw him differently, she saw him romantically but hey thats just me.
Now thats another thing I have a problem with, it doesn't make make sense to me. Why would she want to kill Sasuke the man "she loves romantically" for Naruto if she didn't have feelings for Naruto? It makes no sense, nobody would kill the one they love for a friend unless your heart intervenes and makes you do so, which leads me to believe that her heart took over, her heart took over in 297 , it took over in the confession scene. It showe d me she would rather lose Sasuke than Naruto. She wants Naruto's happiness but I don't believe she would lie just to do it. I don't believe Sakura-Chan wants Sasuke back romantically, but just for team 7 and for Naruto.
Yes it failed, she went after him and then the lingering feelings was brought up. But then something caught my attention again, I don't believe she wants him back romantically as I stated above , and the reason she couldn't kill sasuke was because of the lingering feelings for him and the old Sasuke she remembered but could it have been possible that she couldn't have killed him because of Naruto as well, because when she said Naruto I'm sorry back in chapter 470 before she left do you think that caught up to her because she realized that Naruto wanted Sasuke back for himself as well? I mean she knows how Naruto feels about Sasuke being his brother and all, Its speculation but thats what I think. Wouldn't Naruto's brother dying by the girl he loves hurt him alot, wouldn't it make him sad that Sakura-Chan did this? Even if it was for a great reason, wouldn't it still devastate him? She wants his happiness but couldn't that have came into her head as well that it wouldn't have made Naruto happy that Sasuke is dead? And wasn't she more gentle and tender to Naruto even before this whole incident? As Sai stated back in the forest when Sakura-Chan said she was going to take Sai to the sky when they was talking about Naruto and Sasuke being brothers?
I know she didn't want to hurt him and the truth would have hurt him . but I can't agree with the fact that she lied, she just wasn't sure, because to me previous chapters shows me that she is falling slowly for Naruto, it showed constantly, you don't put someone else's happiness first if you don't love them like that, you kill the one you love for one you don't love it makes no sense to me. Sakura-Chan has shown constant signs that she loves him, she has looked at him romatic wise before imo in 245 but thats my opinion.
Her not feeling worthy of Naruto's love but yet feeling worthy of Sasuke love, like I said, it only proves my point.
but lets just squash this whole argument now because we are just going to keep going back and forth . And I want to save my argument energy for the next NH or SS fan that tries to get out line lols . Not with a fellow NS fan .
