As for chapter 540 I'm referring to how the "someone else" she was talking about likely wasn't Sasuke because that would be contradicting and logically not make any sense when you think about it (her thinking a relationship with him would even work out despite the fact that she pictures him standing in flames n kitten and the fact that he tried to kill her atleast 3 times) I think people just misinterpret it like they did with the confession.
She said there was someome else she like, that doesnt imply that she wants to have a relationship with him, the fact is that she used this to dimiss a guy.
Trust me i was once rejected with similar line, it's better to be rejected with a girl saying that she likes someome else than her telling "i dont like you" or "it would not work".
The point is that the guy who was rejected in a nice manner told her that the guy she likes is a great guy and then Sakura showed to the audience how she viewed Sasuke after the killing attempts.
Fun Fact : On the same chapter is shown Hinata and Sakura, Hinata gaining resolve when thinking about Naruto and Sakura being sad when thinking about Sasuke.
Except that still doesn't make any god damn sense. Even if we were to ignore Kishi saying the confession was honest it's completely illogical to think Sakura had intended to be in a relationship with someone who she knows is evil and tried to kill her and being reminded of him not being a great being the trigger that caused her to fall out of love with him is kittening stupid. Not only does that contradict the development NS had in the entirety of Part 2 or the fact that Sakura has matured but it even contradicts Sai's statement that Sakura isn't stupid.
Yep i ignore because his honest is kind of ambiguous because she lied on the confession then i remember that he "depicted an honest girl" i dont know it's because in english depicting an honest girl implies that she was being honest.
But in my language and culture, depicting an honest girl means that Sakura acted like an honest girl but her words werent honest, acting stubbornish and innocent to say that she wasnt being harsh with Naruto on the confession.
The solely reason why i dont accept her confession as real is because doesnt make sense that just cuz Sai told her Naruto loved her, she "realized" her feelings, feelings that werent romantic to begin with, she never looked at Naruto on a romantically light which is proved when Sai told her about Naruto's feelings, and then she has that flashback.
When she looked at Naruto on a romantic manner she called him a fool for loving her and she still was in love with Sasuke which was throw at the audience many times during that moment, even her confession to Naruto she was being stubborn at trying to prove to Naruto that she didnt loved Sasuke anymore and ended giving the impression that she fell in love with Naruto because Sasuke turned into a criminal.
I dont expect something like that to be honest to me, not in my book, i prefer to hold on the interpretation that the honest and stubborn in terms of how she acted on the confession not her words.
That's my opinion and makes sense to me.
It doesnt matter if the audience believes she loves Naruto, as long as the character itself doesnt acknowledged it, it doesnt make valid said statement.
I could say the same thing about 540 losing is impact quite some time ago (especially with both this chapter and 635), but hey, if you want to keep denying that Sakura has fallen out of love for Sasuke, then "to each thine own Watson."
I dont know it it's my mistake for not expressing correctly but i never denied she has fallen out of love from Sasuke.
What i said is that she is falling out of love from Sasuke but Sakura itself hasnt give the impression she's already over because Kishimoto is hiding it.
And avoiding her personal confrontations.
What we have is speculations from characters like kakashi, recently giving a guess that her feelings for Sakura are different now, on which the problem lies on how he came to that conclusion (development or fangirlism) and she not trusting Sasuke for obvious reasons and that was expected despite her loving him or not, because she's not Karin.
