Could you clarify what you were trying to say with the Yamato looked angry with sakura comparison images?

Sure. When Sakura first confesses, Yamato shows a look of shock and embarrassment. As you can see in the first picture, he's even blushing a little bit. This is his initial reaction to Sakura's confession, before she mentions anything that has to do with Sasuke. All she's said at this point is that she loves Naruto, and as you can see, Yamato's reaction is not negative.

Then she says the line that makes everyone grow suspicious of her: "So Naruto, no need to keep that promise! Won't you stop chasing Sasuke?" <--- This is the lie in her confession, or at least, what I've interpreted as the lie. This is what makes Naruto say that she's lying to herself as well as what stirs Yamato's anger.

Naruto has worked so hard to bring Sasuke back. In fact, the reason why they're in the Land of Iron at this point is because of Sasuke. Naruto was literally begging the Raikage to spare Sasuke, despite the things that he had done to Bee. Not to mention how he let Karui beat the snot out of him for Sasuke's sake. Yamato witnessed all of this and more. After witnessing all he's been through to save the guy, it's almost offensive to hear someone tell Naruto to give up, especially Sakura. She's the one that's been supporting his decision to bring Sasuke back home since day one. No one expected her to say that she wanted to give up. That's what leads Yamato to say, "What the hell are you...!?" in his second panel. He's angry and suspicious of her because her request is out of character.

His anger doesn't have to do with the confession itself. Saying that she wanted to give up on Sasuke was what made this scene go downhill.

@Slextrem

I'm a bit at a loss for words here...
I mean, many people have given thoughtful and convincing arguments, but the way you deconstructed each and every single claim was on another level entirely.

I should reiterate, I really am a NaruSaku fan. But if I wasn't fully confident in its chances before, I think it's safe to say that I am completely in the green after reading your post.
If ever in the future should I once again come upon the arguments made in the OP, I hope you wouldn't mind if I used what you wrote as reference for my responses?

By all means, feel free to use these arguments in future debates!

I hope it didn't sound like I was attacking you in my post. Whenever I said, "you", I was referring to whoever originally wrote the arguments, just so know. I don't want to cause any confusion.

I found this post on Tumblr and thought it was appropriate.

I was watching a pro NaruSaku review video and i saw slextrem in the comments. Then I was like hey i know this guy. Great post btw.

*Girl, actually. And thanks.

Those must have been some really old comments though. I haven't commented on any Naruto-related videos in a long time.

Ah it's all good.
Though I must admit, I became slightly intimidated at a few parts there.

You mean screenshot?

If you bashed anyone, the mods should at least have PM'd you. I'm sure it's a misunderstanding.

[Midoriko]

I know exactly what I said. I am LIVID and no they didn't pm me, it just GONE.
I hit the reverse and it's gone!
I spent 3 hours typing up the rebuttal.
EDIT: MODS, ARE YOU SCREENING WHAT I REBUTTAL

Edited by Midoriko, 26 February 2013 - 12:25 AM.

[tricksie]

sorry, but none of the mods have been in the thread lately. Not that I know of. And deleting a post is something that rarely happens.

When was it posted?

[Midoriko]

OH my god! This is not comforting! I am being very serious.
I... listen, I previewed it and then hit add and then it was GONE. It never showed up but then I complained and that posted seriously WTF?

It might just be a glitch of the site itself. It's happened to me before...

wow, um 3 hours plus to address this thread. I am beyond pissed
Edit: it doesn't help that everything I am posting is being well kitten POSTED

Hey, calm down. You can always go back on the pages, then copy and paste. I'm sure none of the mods are guilty.

kitten happens.

[Midoriko]

This is where you are wrong
I can't go back, there is nothing there, because I have and now I have to start all over.
Edit: Please don't tell me to calm down when in fact this is the 1st time this happened. I have every right to be seriously pissed.
You spent 3 hours on this ridiculous topic of address and loose it then come back to me with your comforting words.
edit : so everything is not glitching now huh?
