The problem I see in people brushing away Naruto's feelings for Sakura is that, even if it's meant as comic relief, it doesn't make sense to insert it at this point of the plot. Ever since he got to the battlefield, Naruto's been completely serious, and I doubt even with his father showing up that it would change. [/b]What he says was completely the truth: Sakura's not his girlfriend,[b] but at the same time there's SOMETHING there, so she sort of is? A little more, or a little less. Sakura's reaction seems to support this because, even if she'd hit him, she still didn't deny it like she would have in part one of the manga. So, she herself is aware that there could be something more between them but of course him saying something like that would make her flustered and act out in a tsundere way.
Edit: I should have said the first part better...I mean in terms of him only teasing randomly just seems weird.
What? Naruto was completely serious, and he said that she was his girlfriend and sakura did nothing but forehead-butt him and tell him to save his energy.

I didnt brush off thr 615 hand holding moment simply because naruto proceeded to do the same to all the rest, and plus naruto wasnt romantically invloved or any blushing or any romantic implication.
While on the other hand its just been confirmed that naruto and sakura are boyfriend and girlfriend.
