If you were in charge to justify Naruto going to Hinata from Sakura, how would you write it? Clearly, Kishi couldn't write it for kitten, so how would you handle it?
I would make it a tear jerking heart breaking moment X).
Hinata has just let herself be captured to save hanabi and Naruto is by himself to his thoughts. Sakura comes in with a "fixed" red scarf and speaks with Naruto.
Naruto questions himself of why Hinata would do something like that for hanabi, and for him because he was close to being killed by Toneri. Sakura goes and tells him of Hinatas feelings for him to which he is surprised.
They talk a bit more till Naruto tells Sakura of what his mother told him before she passed away (finding a girl like her). He explains it took him awhile but for reasons unknown he always seen Sakura to be that girl, to which Sakura is shocked and surprised. He goes off to also say of Sakura's unchanging feelings for Sasuke and that even though he didn't win her affection that no matter what he still wanted her to be happy.
After a short pause Sakura says that no matter what bad or negative things Sasuke has ever done that she could still not end her feelings for him. But if things were different......then no doubt in her heart she would have chosen Naruto without a second thought. Naruto is shocked and surprised to hear this and Sakura hands him the "fixed" red scarf and says that she also wishes him to be happy no matter what and to give Hinata a chance. She begins to walk off and Naruto finally says....
Naruto: Sakura-Chan.....I loved you......and thank you...
Without showing her face she takes a small breath and a tear falls down her cheek and quietly says....
Sakura: ..........I Loved You Too.......
And walks back to the camp site while Naruto stares at the Red scarf in his hands...
That's how i would do it >X) lol
