Page 50 - Conversation between Naruto and Tsuyu
[In this Scene Naruto and Tsuyu just attended a secret meeting at the Kokake palace where they got the mission to bring back Renge to the village. In addition, the Kokage assigned a new member to the team, Nikaku Onikoma. Now Naruto and Tsuyu are waiting for him at the steps of the Kokage Palace.]
~~~~~~
«Naruto I want to apologize to you.»
«Uh?»
«When the third Kokage said that ninja are just like weapons, you hit the ceiling.»
«Aah!»Naruto kept playing with a twig, trying to hide his embarrassment. «Eh Eh, unfortunately I'm not really intelligent, so I couldn't counter the old man's words.»
Not too far from them, a donkey was quietly grazing the grass of the field.
«You have always been like this.»
«Like what?»
«Every time someone says something about me, or Renge, you always lose your temper.»Tsuyu's eyes now shifted to the sky. There wasn't even a cloud that day. «Do you still remember when we performed the Kuchiyose no Jutsu for the first time? We all wanted to prove that our summoning was the best.»
«How can I forget...we almost ended up paralyzed!!»
[There is a little flashback about a conversation Naruto and Renge had few days before Renge left the village.]
Naruto suddenly felt heat spreading on his back.
«...»
«What's wrong?»
Naruto looked at Tsuyu in the eye. He thought about telling her everything that happened the night before when he was attacked by the giant millipedes, but in the end he decided not to.
Even so, he bursted in laughter and said «It's just that I had finally learned how to summon and I couldn't wait to use him!»
Even Tsuyu laughed.
«Starting a fight with you guys was the perfect chance!»
Just when Naruto threw the twig he had in his hand in the air, the donkey turned his head towards the two.
«I really couldn't stand that your summonings were cooler than mine!»
«Thank you also for that time, Naruto.»
«Eh?»
«You knew that on that day Renge rejected me...»
«Hum, I...»
«And thickhead as you are, you thought about getting into a fight to solve things.»
«No, actually I...»
The two ninja remained silent and for a while you could only hear the blowing of a gentle spring wind.
«Hey Tsuyu...»Suddenly, Naruto's expression became serious. «You... are you still in love with Renge?»
At that question, Tsuyu made a melancholic smile.
«I see.»Said Naruto.
«Yeah...»
«Wouldn't you be happy with me?»
«Wha...?»
Naruto's penetrating gaze made the woman blush.
The donkey was now watching the scene, intrigued.
«Naruto...»
«HAHAHA, c'mon I'm just teasing!»
«...»
«Besides, being rejected makes you stronger.»Commented Naruto «I'm really grateful to you and Renge. It's all thanks to you if today I'm the person I am.»
Tsuyu gave a radiant smile to her comrade.
«Becoming stronger is one of my goals. And one day, I'll make this world a place where shinobi will not be considered simple weapons anymore.»
«You are already stronger enough as you are.»
«Eh? Why are you saying this?»
«It's rather us....»Tsuyu made a short pause and then continued:«... we rely way too much on your courage.»
«Aw c'mon stop it. These niceties don't suit you.»Naruto, completely red in the face, didn't know how to reply any further.

Minor moment! I think it was cute enough to write it down :)
On Page 61, Naruto, Tsuyu and the new member are trying to get along. There is a funny scene where Naruto's actions make Tsuyu laugh. Naruto, surprised, states that it has been ages since last time he saw her laughing like that, which makes him laugh happily too.

Deja vu!
[Page 77 has a scene which heavily reminds the events happened after the Pein arc, when Naruto, Sakura and Sai discover from Karui and Omoi that Sasuke joined Akatsuki. The setting is similar too, but in this case Naruto and co. captured a female ninja, Shima, from the Kon village, who tried to ambush them. The girl tells them that Renge was the one who caused the destruction of the Ton village.]
~~~~~
«These are all lies!»cried Tsuyu.
«Tsuyu...»Naruto tried to step in.
«You need proofs to demonstrate facts!»
«If you want proofs, then I'll go on.»Continued the prisoner.
Naruto squeezed Tsuyu tightly to his chest.
«No, it can be!»Tsuyu abandoned herself in Naruto's arms, sobbing. «He would never do something like that!»
[Then there is a conversation between Nikaku and Shima, while Naruto still holds Tsuyu in his arms. In the end Naruto ends up doing his usual speeches.]

Chapter 7, page 95: Teasing scene.
[After the discussion happened the night before, Naruto decides to free Shima, telling her to go away. However, moved by Naruto's speech she decides to join them. This scene happens during their way to Kon village.]
(Shima) «Naruto I have something to ask you.»
«Sure, what is it?»
«What does "damn pervert" exactly mean?»
«...»
«When we first met, Tsuyu exactly shouted those word at you, and then she kicked you in the sky. Remember?»
«Oh, that's right. You should be careful around this guy.»Tsuyu stepped in, cutting off Naruto's response.«A man that doesn't think twice about using his sage mode to peep on girls at the onsen...»
«Is that true?»Shima stared at Naruto.
«Uh? N-no, well... Ah ah, it's not like...»Naruto made a face at Tsuyu. «Did you really have to mention it?»
«Ah! So it is true!»
«T-true...»Naruto turned to Shima. «Did you know that Tsuyu is really violent? One time she hit me so hard that I miraculously escaped death!»
«Because I caught you peeping in the girl's bathroom and you even told me nonchalantly: "It's not like they fall if I look at them!"»
«But I do really think that...!»
«Oh please...»Tsuyu crossed her arms «I have the feeling that someone is trying to get on my nerves today...»
«And frankly, I'm pretty sure you don't dislike the idea of being spied by the undersigned here.»
«Excuse me?»
«Its galling for me to make you notice this, but I don't always have all this free time to come and give a little peek at your flat chest, I mean, surfboard.»
Not even giving him the time to finish his sentence, Tsuyu's fist met Naruto's face.
«Hey what the hell! You b*tch!»Lamented Naruto while blood was flooding from his nose «It's because of your behavior that not a single man ever tries to come close to you!»
«Pervert.»
«Gorilla woman.»
«What did you just say?!»
At that moment, Shima joined the conversation.
«Naruto, are you really that interested in seeing naked girls?»
«Believe me, that's the only thing that goes through his head!»Anticipated again Tsuyu «Half of his chakra is contaminated by his perversion!»
«You know what? Yes, I like it and I would like to see more.»
Shima, misinterpreting Naruto's provocatives words, without any further explanations, untied her kimono and showed off her breasts.«Here you go then!»
«!!!»
Naruto's and Tsuyu's eyes were glued on the girl's chest.
«If it's you then I don't mind!»Said Shima.
«Wooooooow!!!»
Naruto fell backwards while blood was spurting out his nose like a fountain. Tsuyu awkwardly tried to cover the girl. «Sh-Shi...Shima?!»
«Hey you, do you like Naruto?»After hearing Shima's question, Tsuyu was dumbfounded. Shima insisted: «Well?»
Tsuyu looked at Naruto which, in a sea of blood and tears, was cursing her from afar. She shook her head.
«Well then I'll take him!»Affirmed Shima.
«...Eh?»
«I said that I'll take Naruto!»
«N-No no, wait!!»Tsuyu waved her hands like fans.
«Shima, you did hear what I said, right? This guy is not the person you think he is! He is... a pervert, got it? A dirty pervert!!»
«Hey something is telling me that you like Naruto.»
«No you are wrong.»
«I have my suspicions.»
«Based on what?»
«Everything.»
«No way!»Said Tsuyu.«I don't really think so!»
«Then stop complaining!»
«L-like I care, you can do whatever you want...»
«Naruto»Called out Shima. «Do you want to be my boyfriend?»
«Naruto, I warn you, don't come up with weird ideas! This girl is barely sixteen!»
«I might be sixteen, but at least I have some curves.»
Naruto confronted both the girl's chest glaring first at one and then shifting to the other. Under his nose appeared a lascivious grin.
This costed him yet another flight to the forest's borders.

Honestly I want Kishi to give him a bigger role than the Sakura feelings pusher.
Sakura would not be able to really relate to it in some ways.
