Mostly in part I. I can't explain how I came to love them but I think from there I slowly fell in love with the pair...

[Fliss]

Well to be honest when I first started watching Naruto, I liked SasuSaku. But after numerous episodes of him treating her like GARBAGE I was like 'WTF? This pairing sucks. Hey, that cute Naruto kid likes her. They might make a good couple.' and the rest was history!
And what a beautiful pairing NaruSaku is.

[merryGOflava]

i didnt really notice any pairings in part 1 but when part 2 came around i saw sakura act caring toward naruto, and since naruto already liked sakura i thought " perfect!!" and thus i became a narusaku fan

[Greed-Sama]

Well at first I didn't really care about Naruto pairings in the least bit. I watched the show and read the manga merely because the concept of ninja fighting in an alternate universe sounded appealing, and even then I didn't really follow it to the degree I do now. That changed two months ago when I started from the beginning. Naruto reminded me of every character that I had ever cared about. The guy who never gives up was such an awesome idea, and I would look up to him, hoping that my own determination could be as iron-clad as his. In doing so I wanted him to achieve success in all aspects, but the biggest determining factor where I became a permanent fan of the pairing was during the exams during the Ino/Sakura fight. The way he rescued her from the recesses of his mind made me realize that there was at least some sort of mutual relationship/development taking place. And from that moment on I was permanently hooked.

At the beginning I wasn't really partial to any pairings, but more interested in the bonds in general Naruto was making with the people around him. I started actively liking NaruSaku somewhere around the end of part 1 (POAL and the hospital scene) and the beginning of part 2. I honestly can't remember exactly when it was. All I know is that now it's the pairing I've come to advocate more than any other.

I've liked NaruSaku since chapter 1. (weird huh, since Sakura was introduced in chapter 3? but I saw the anime first and read the manga later, so I guess it's not so weird after all).

Naruto's always liked Sakura, and Sakura's love for Sasuke seemed like a childish crush that would waver as time goes on, so I never really could get into that.

Hinata's love for Naruto seemed cute, but you'll never get anywhere if your feelings aren't shared, so I wanted her to be happy with someone who loved her instead.

And the only person Sasuke showed any interest in was Naruto (and Orochimaru and Kakashi and Itachi), so SasuSaku really made no sense to me whatsoever.

I was first a NaruHina fan based purely on looks alone, but after looking at Naruto as a character, I began to understand why he likes Sakura and soon I began to love her too. It got even better when I started watching Shippuden and both characters grew substantially.

Also in a more personal way, Sakura reminds me of someone I love, but she never gave me the time of day. She was so beautiful and she looked just like Sakura except she had brown hair instead of Pink. Same attitude too. She was always going after the guy who abused her rather than the guy who truly loved her...me.

Eventually we grew apart and I haven't talked to her in 3 years. I still remember her though. Seeing Sakura always reminds me of her and me being Naruto since I do kind of look like him save for the hair which isn't spiked but is blonde and blue eyes.

I now root for Naruto and Sakura in hoping that even if I cannot get the love I want, maybe Naruto can get his for me.

I do have a picture of the one I loved if anyone wants to see it.

I must seem pathetic that I take a fictional love interest characters as a reflection of my own life.

Holy Crap not pathetic at all. Well if it is I am too hehe. I have a similar situation and she's just so damn beautiful. I see her at school and my heart skips a beat. However, shes one of my best friends older sister (1 year older than me) and it would just be awkward if I hit on her -.- Plus I don't have that Naruto Swagga. I wish I can smile everyday and dattebayo that shiz. Ahh well, just know your're not alone buddy!

As for when I first started liking this couple. I remember so very clearly. It was on cartoon network and I was sitting on my bed watching my thick but very small tv. Naruto changed into Sasuke and sweet talked Sakura, AND Naruto made a kage bunshin and seemingly had Kakashi in the palm of his hands (during the genin test to pass the acadamey, they were all suppossed to take 3 bells from Kakashi) and I saw Sakura BLUSH thinking that Naruto was cool, then he made a mistake and she thought oh 'oh nvm, hes lame'. This was like 7 years ago or something, yet I still felt the charm and refreshing vibe of this couple.

At first i like naruhina but then i saw that hinata kept faiting whenever she saw him or he sees or talks to her so then i started liking narusaku because he actually like sakura and he would do anything for her to make her happy

[The Tax-Man]

Like many other people, I started it when I was a little kid and episode three was aired. I started reading the manga AFTER.

[OrangeFlash]

the moment when did all he could to save her from garaa. that was epic

[Phantom_999]

Ever since I saw Sakura and found out Naruto liked her I've always wanted her to return Naruto's feelings but I admit my faith had been wobbly at times because of how she treated him because she wasn't a typical tsundere she completely ignores him for someone else

[Eva Chen]

in the beginning series, I was SasuSaku fan because Sasuke & Sakura were my fave char and if you look closely, there was a few SS moments and I thought Sasuke cares her too (you can see in here)

but after Sasuke left Konoha to Orochimaru, SasuSaku is over because when the girl said 'I love you' and the boy said 'thank you'. it means over. she was rejected.

after shippuuden, I was become a NaruSaku fan because I saw the NS evidences and Naruto can make her happy (she can make him happy too).
I was too stupid to realize Naruto really loves Sakura. I thought he wasn't serious about her, after I read back, I was realize that Naruto is the sensitive boy (the hospital scene). yup, the cheerful one actually is the sensitive too. sorry, naruto

I've started liking narusaku for the first time when i started watching the dub from the beginning which was like 5 or 6 years ago and I thought well he likes her at the start maybe she'll warm up to him. Then as things progresses at the beginning, I was like well something else might happening and it was all right maybe narusaku may not happen. That mentality changed in Shippuden where you could see where Naruto really cares and loves her and Sakura really cares and is very warming up to him.

[RandomAnimeFan]

I've liked narusaku since when Naruto saved Sakura from Gaara. I didn't believe in it until Shippuden, when Yamato tells Sakura that it doesn't matter if the things she does for him are big or little but what matters is how much she cares about him.

[Phantom_999]

Beginning of the series! I could sense the Chemistry between Naruto and Sakura despite her initial attitude towards him and had been hoping she would change her mind ever since and BOY did she

[Raptor3789]

To be honest, the seething hatred towards from alot of the fans at the time made me curious about Sakura. I started with Shippuden and was confused at what I was hearing about how Sakura is such b**** to Naruto, I mean they seemed to get along quite well from I was seeing. Then I backtracked to Part 1, and kinda saw what they were talking about, but still didn't really warrant the hate she was getting. Realizing that she was just a kid at the time and growing up like any human being would (realize your mistakes, try to fix it), I started to like her character and her developing bond with Naruto as the show went on. I hope to see all this development pay off when this pairing goes canon.

[Amy-chan]

I've liked them since the very start of chapter 1 they just seemed to click so I jumped aboard this ship.

[CaramelMiki]

I can't remember but I think I did like them when I first saw Naruto (2004-2005). But when I started actually watching Shippuuden, I liked them more.

Since I got nothing from SasuSaku than "they are just pairing in dream".
