Strange...
She could see the handholding but could not see Neji's death.

About the reaction she there's a panel of her reacting along with everyone of the news and on the other wavering.

Strange... I wonder what the reaction on this page was for...

http://www.mangapanda.com/naruto/615/5

^ Is to Neji's death. I know where her reaction to Neji is, and the one on the later page isn't her wavering. NARUTO is wavering, and SAKURA is looking at them with that stare. There's no dialogue. Just her expression. Can mean anything but I personally feel it's her responding to what Hinata is saying to Naruto. Could be jealousy, sadness, anything but I know this much. It's she who's looking on. First it was Naruto to Sakura and Sasuke now it's her to Naruto and Hinata.

TXD

LMAO. IMO, Sasuke is much worse but Ichigo is slowly gaining on him.

It's sadness/jealousy/learning her feelings for Naruto.

http://www.mangahere...aruto/v47/c442/ <---- She already has been shown being nervous about Hinata loving Naruto.

If this was a romance manga, I can imagine a misunderstanding accidental kiss scene with NH, where Sakura steps in and saw them with a sadden expression, while Naruto trying to tell her it's not what she thinks. She runs and keeps saying she's better with him and Naruto will keep saying why are you saying this, only to finally reach to her, realizing she's crying and Naruto feels hurt. Yeah, I can see it happen if the genre was different.

Again wavering.
All the other shinobis were wavering and Sakura is also shown.
Look at the ammoung of death and on the previous page you can clearly see the smoke that is surrounding both naruto Hinata and a few random shinobis.

http://www.mangahere...aruto/v47/c442/ <---- She already has been shown being nervous about Hinata loving Naruto.

I know. That was my point. Dark said that stare was because she was wavering because of Neji's death, and I feel it's because of her reaction to Naruto and Hinata. She's not happy about what she's seeing and she's possibly jealous. Could arouse something in Sakura. That's what I think anyway.

What were your thoughts on the stare? Did you feel it was because she was wavering due to Neji's death or do you feel it has something to do with her jealousy/feelings for Naruto?

I truly think Sakura's going to play the "I think you she deserves you more than I do" card to which Naruto will turn that down and say he's not in love with her, etc. Even if this in an action manga, that would fit nicely in this for sure IMO. Given what she's witnessed, and seen thus far, I wouldn't put it past her because I'm sure what she wants for Naruto is his happiness even at the expense of her own, just like Naruto feels for her. It's pretty amazing.

Just a question if Madara was able to use Edo Rinne tensei why he didnt ressurrected his brother?

@StriderC i didnt said she was wavering because of Neji's death i said that she was wavering not just because of it but the part of the speech of Hinata showed random shinobis wavering because of the amount of death on the battlefield and Sakura did give the same reaction as those shinobis this is the reason why i cant take the theory that she was jealous or whatever.
All the shinobis were looking at Obito because of his speech to Naruto.

they were all thinking on Naruto if he would give up or not because of Obito's offer.

Sorry but this is stupid, and i dont see this card being played because she knew about Hinata's feelings for Naruto and still did the confession now she will play this card when she showed she didnt care about Hinata's feelings for Naruto?
I didnt see Naruto caring about Hinata's feelings for him despite loving Sakura.
This just goes to "how to destroy a character in one chapter".

Kishi never was serious with NaruHina now Hinata will become another obstacle for NaruSaku?
I think people should stop giving importance to Hinata, Sakura didnt even thought about Hinata during the confession despite knowing that she loves Naruto and Naruto didnt even thought about her confession to him, i cant see logic on this.
Even this "i dont deserve Naruto" is rather stupid, she already overcome when she give that smile when Naruto fainted and moreover she did the confession, she was gong to embrace Naruto even thinking she didnt deserve him, there's no logic.

How in the world is it stupid when IT'S WHAT NARUTO'S BEEN DOING? He's put his feelings aside for Sakura, and didn't pursue her because he saw that she loved Sasuke. He doesn't feel worthy thanks to the fact that he "can't keep his promise". She confessed AFTER finding out what Naruto felt for her, and she did it for Naruto. To soften the blow, but it didn't work.

Given what she's seen, I wouldn't put it past her at all. To call it stupid is really just ridiculous IMO... Might as well agree to disagree because we're not gonna agree on this matter at all.

True. I do think that too. In fact, she seems to be in a confused state on why she should be concern of Hinata over Naruto. Stuff like that should make you support her, but if you're not comfortable, then there's something wrong. In the anime, she feels uncomfortable and I think her eyebrows were lowered when she tried to finish the sentence. All that stopped when Katsuya reports an updated news on Naruto.

Now about the current situation, Sakura is uncomfortable with Hinata and for now, 615 is debatable. It's like this: Naruto could tell her she's the best and Sakura has nothing to worry about. That is until Hinata or any other girls comes in and flirt with Naruto, who can be seen less of a burden, so Sakura can get uncomfortable. The only way to cure her is the man himself say something that 100% confirm that you're in the safe zone. Like I said, Naruto needs to say something or do something to reassure everything. We can still have NS moments, but we need Naruto to cheer her up.

The one Pain did? I feel like it can only works when the body is still there, not already well you know. Izuna did die young, before Madara got too strong.

Do you know something about perfect love?

Do you think Naruto should treat Sakura like a possession?
Does he has to put Sakura on a pedestal above everything like Hinata?
Does he have suffer all the time pursuing a selfish love like Sakura?

He feels unworthy because of the context not the promise, when Sakura did the promise she said "Naruto i never asked anything for you but the only thing i beg for you is to bring Sasuke back" look at how Naruto feels that he could not accomplish the only thing that the girl he loves asked on him.
How do you feel if someome you love ask only one thing and you fails to accomplish it, it's not the fact of briging Sasuke back or whatever is the fact that he failed to accomplish the only thing that Sakura asked.
It's not stupid or ridiculous it does make sense.

Like I said in the RtN topic. Naruto needs to get a clue, man the kitten up and get the party started. She TOLD HIM she forgave him for not keeping the promise. Its really ironic that the guy with the absurd ammount of confidence doesnt have the confidence that he is good enough for Sakura. Well thats love for ya.

This is mainly why I wish Kishi wouldn't leave us in the dark when it comes to her feelings as of right now. All we've gotten in the latest chapters with her were expressions, no dialogue, and the one that caught me most was her expression during the "pick up" scene. I REALLY wanted to know what was going on in her head right then but of course, we're only left to speculate on it unfortunately. LOL It's pure torture.

Talking about it right now only makes me wish the flashback would be over...

Someone back in NF did explain on how panels really means a lot and he used the example from the past chapter in which I was surprised that I missed that. I should pm him and give me more in-depth when I have the chance. The next phase of battle should be interesting this time. At least I hope so.

I think the Poal will be brought up again when they first confront sasuke (the talking before they begin fighting). She will let go of Sasuke saying something like i don't need him anymore because you give me everything that Sasuke could never.

It is entirely on Naruto to relase himself from that promise because to be frank, the chances of being able to bring him back and to continue where they left off as if nothing ever happened are nearly non - existant.

It's also a case of Naruto believing Sakura when she says she loves him ove Sasuke now, and part 1 is etched into Naruto's mind. He only see's the Sakura of part 1 who ofc was obbsessed with Sasuke.

Naruto will never believe her when she says she doesn't love Sasuke anymore unless she says that to Sasuke herself or shows it to Naruto in the battle with Sasuke. Ibelieve there will be multiple stages to the fight against Sasuke:

1) Ninja alliance take him + orochimaru + kages on
2) K11 + team 7 - single out Sasuke and fight him
3) K11 are incapacitated or retreat and leave it to team 7
4) Sakura, Sai and kakashi retreat (Sakura confesses love to Naruto here)
5) 1v1 Naruto vs Sasuke

Something like this i guess

The poal will be bought up again, because Naruto the poal hurts Naruto a lot because he felt unworthy, since he could not accomplish the only thing he asked for her then he also cant make her happy he does not deserve her, saving Sasuke or making him to come back to the good side is enough for him to be released of this burden that he has, the poal became something that he has to prove to himself, it's like proving that Sakura can rely on him on everything even to accomplish things that she cannot.
Well there will be a meeting with Sasuke on this arc so let's see what will happen.

[Inferno180]

Well remember while Sasuke and sakura do cause naruto pain, they are also his sources of strength.

What will make naruto believe sakura if she really did turn over to him? It would take an honest event between them, it would have to resolve around the promise or the confession event. It's also a matter of what happens to Sasuke, like sakura putting her faith in him and concern on him rather than Sasuke. Possibly sakura could confront naruto about what sai told her and naruto would see how she is aware. Naruto would not confess, but sakura can confront naruto about his feelings for her.

Most likely if some interaction on this occurs before the fight with Sasuke, this will be it. Naruto cannot confront sakura for his feelings due to the promise, but sakura can confront him, if this happens it will lead to some event regarding how they feel for one another. As for ths 615 stuff, yeah it's still up for debate but sakura definitely reacted to hinatas speech most likely. Whatever the case, that panel is significant for something, it just seems out of place with sakura being the only character shown during hinatas speech over all the panels it covers, plus we don't know what sakura was thinking in that panel, this is the last time she was shown in the current area. This panel is significant for something, also I'm pretty sure she did not need to see them with all the dust around, she could hear the speech just fine, how? This is a manga and like all action mangahere, people fight have a speech then resume fighting, they take a few breaks for dialogue, that's basic manga 101. People stand around talking, both the alliance and ten tails stopped fighting for a moment when neji died and then came obito and hinatas speeches, there sakura was able to hear it so people could spew out dialogue. Sakura's thoughts on the reaction are unknown but it does have more potential giving its position in all the spacing of this chapter and what really makes it stick out is just that, sakura being the only character in this series of panels shown while its focusing mainly on naruto and hinata during the speech.

We should see what this has but I'm betting it will be something important for sakura given the reaction. Again only time will tell where sakura goes but 2 major points that can impact her development are again her thoughts on Sasuke from chp 540 and her reaction in 615. These are both impacting to her development overall and possibly could lead to narusaku.

Don't worry I completely agree with your theory, otherwise why Kishi would show her reaction to Neji's death and later a surprise expression while Hinata was giving Naruto a speech, not only that but the fact that Kishi needed to completely remove Sakura for two following chapters with no explanation, if that wasn't a big deal then there was no reason to show that expression and then omit her appearance in the two following chapters before switching to Sasuke and the Kages. There is something Kishi feels that is too early for the readers to know so he wants to keep us in suspense.

Sai is not there either, people are speculating that sai is with sakura, one person had a good theory of them being in the Kamui dimension, Kakashi said with the power boost he was able to move bee into it in his eight tails form but it took a lot out of him, hence why sakura healed him first and then helped dauri channel power for his black panther, given how Madara is all powerful in the current fight. He can only be stopped by being sealed and sai can do that. As for sakura, maybe she is there with sai? All fans want to know this, where did sakura and sai go? Well this will be easily resolved later on merely when they reappear, all I can say is if they went to the Kages, I hope sakura gets the strength of a hundred technique from tsunade (this is very possible) and goes badass again. If sakura was left out of the army power up, it has to be for a good reason.

And yes the expression to Hinatas speech has to be good considering she is the only one there, otherwise why would Kishi have chosen to show sakura, many fans claimed this was sakura realizing she missed her chance with naruto (uh no) just a realization hinata may have given sakura about his life not being his own, she reacted to those words, how these effect her we will see. What I would find absolutely funny is if this naruhina moment set narusaku into motion. Fans can keep claiming all they want, sakura does love Sasuke as far as we know, but still has close feelings for naruto, and for the question of how sakura arrives to love naruto? Everything is there and many lingering elements like her feelings for Sasuke, the promise, when they meet again, narutos feelings towards sakura, Sakura's concern for the upcoming battle, it's all there Kishi just needs to bring it in a way which is respectful to both naruto and Sakura's characters, nothing chessy or overly romantic, just to both of them in a mature honest way they both know and understand and honestly accept each others feelings. It can happen and there will be development between them regardless of narusaku becoming canon or not.

[Beastbomb]

My question is, what reason would Kishi have to not make it canon. If he is not going to use NH or SS (i personally believe that he is not going to use these pairings) then why would Sakura not fall in love with Naruto. I agree that she needs to overcome her love for Sasuke, but why would he not make Naruto and Sakura be a couple. I have seen plenty of posts where members wouldn't mind seeing Sakura without Naruto as a companion as long as she overcomes her feelings for Sasuke ( which is logical to believe in). But if you believe this, then whats the point of shipping thius couple at all? I sometimes think we are to negative when it comes to these debates.
