Yes me too. I'm hoping that he will meet up with Sasuke and tell him about how hard it's been for, about her being out of it, and get angry with him for not being there for her. If that happened, it would be the firrst glimpse of the Naruto we once knew.
And if that happened, it could show the only real outward feelings from Naruto would be him expressing concern for Sakura. Then it would go back to no-chemistry scenes between SS and the walking scenes that NH only seem to have.
It would be nice to see something discreetly NS in part 3. And as much as Kishimoto pandered to the shipping wars, it's not outside of the realm of possibility that he might do it.
What I hope happens next chapter is after he scares shin off he turns around and ask what the two girls are doing here. when they bring u p the bento he barely gives it an thought, thanks them for giving to him, but point out that it wasn't important enough for two kids to be running out of the village this far to give it to him. Then Salad bring up that she knows he going to see her father and that her mother is unconscious. he become more concerned an emotional about sakura than he does about the bento , and the look salad gives his convinces him to have her come along to meet sasuke.
