Same here. I don't know the reason people are being so... alarming in their reactions. It gives off a strange wave. I'll sit here and try to envision a certain scene. Sakura is panting having used all of her chakra reserves. Suddenly Naruto jumps in front of her, compliments Sakura's forehead in the same way he did in chapter 3 ("You have such a charming forehead, makes me wanna kiss it") and kisses her, thus renewing her powers. The diamond seal reappears. It would be so... so fantastic but I doubt that Kishimoto will give such a scene to shippers. But, then again, Chapter 631 reminds me of a fanfiction story. So everything is possible!
That'd be great. 
I'm not sure how, but I think that the bench scene will definitely be brought up. That was the first major NS moment after all. You better don't disappoint us, Kishi...
@Inferno yeah, I've been thinking about staying out of this place for a while... in the moments of fandom panicking over nothing I get a bit irritated, lol. But it's nice that H&E debate thread is quiet and calm, that's why I prefer hanging out here right now.
I meant is that the only SS moment we will get in the near future?
Also Idk I knew this was gonna happen, but its easy to bust sakura balls. And when I do just know full well that I too am busting balls and i know that kishi has a long story to write. Not to mention that this is going to happen until the end. But seriously this was to show her growth, but here we have her
1) Eventually having to be saved, by Naruto and Sasuke. Granted as a NS fan I would say that she wasnt looking and just got caught off guard.
2) She's buddy buddy with Sasuke, but he choked her and tried to feed her a chidori blade.
3) She kinda ignores Naruto and teases with Hokage, which btw shud be held to high reguard I dont want everyone trying to be Hokage.
Just my thoughts.
That's okay, lol. We're all human beings after all. Don't worry.
As for me, I see things this way:
- I agree with you here: she was probably too happy/excited that now it's her teammates (people, by whom she wanted to be acknowledged) who watch her shine, that she was caught off guard. The good thing is that not only Sasuke saved her, it was a NaruSasu combo.
- This one also bugs me. I just hope that she remembers what he's done to her (as well as Karin and Naruto), and won't let it slip just like that.
- This was probably done to show us "good-old-team-seven" interaction. Nothing more.
Plus let's not forget everything that happened before: her speech, interactions with Minato, and that stare she gave Naruto on the last page of previous chapter, and how he answered with the smile that was just creaming "yeah, that's the girl I love!".
