Does anyone here think that this bench scene will be brought to the fore at some point?! bc I do. I really think Sakura started to fall in love with Sasuke at that moment. It's that Sasuke that could look into her heart and complimented her foreheard that she still hopes to see again, but eh It was Naruto.

Forgot to add the Minato complimenting Kushina's red hair which she herself hated. I mean history does repeat itself...

I really like what I read here, the little time so many people had no faith in NS, it is clear that there were still many who remained calm and analyze the situation as it should, but it was all a mess!
I wonder if it would last or everything would go back as before again if we had a moment NH or SS, not that I'm expecting it, God was really traumatic whole situation, was seeking support from those that I trusted to overcome all NH fanfare from fans and found our own ship desperate.
Anyway I'm glad everything is back to normal, the confidence is reigning again and I hope it stays that way!

I definitely think that Naruto will complement her forehead again. Sakura might figure it out bc afterwards the real Sasuke called her annoying and she seemed like she knew something was up. Though by the time that happens she might not even care that he tricked her.

Until Kishi retcons the overly obvious NaruSaku parallels with JiraTsu, ObiRin, and MinaKushi, my confidence is incapable of being shaken.

Haha or the series doesn't end before next April Fools.

I see what you did there
In all seriousness though, I'm probably never going to pull another one of those again.

That was my own thought

I do wonder what would have happened had Naruto and Sakura had actually kissed and the jutsu had broken, especially after what he said about her forehead.

@StriderC and Inferno180 -- thanks for the comments on my post.

@NaruSaku4Life3g -- thank you, too. It's true I haven't been around much the past few months. Unfortunate issues in real life, I'm afraid. It felt good to post something pro-Sakura, though.


Yeah, it's a real mystery, isn't it? Here's hoping one day soon she finds out that was Naruto the whole time. First she'll punch him, then she'll kiss him....

Woohoo, can't believe I still have this account. Any way, Hi my names TheMaskedManTOBI, or just Tobi for short I'm replying to provide the answer to that mystery which is that Naruto realized he liked Sakura so much was because she wanted acknowledgement, which struck a chord in Naruto's heart.

Sakura would scream, hit and probably run away leaving the poor boy unconscious then would pretend not to care, but secretly be wondering which her ​​feelings for him were.

[Shadow1275]

It would be interesting if Sakura did get some kind of elemental jutsu though, I think if she did it would either be earth or fire cause they represent her personality. Stubborn and Fiery.

Holy crap! It's the guy who made Naruto and Sakura developed more within the movie! Get him...and thank him for the awesomeness of RtN. But seriously, welcome back!

I was totally joking about it being a mystery. I know why Naruto realized he likes Sakura. BTW, as I've said before, in the official English translation of Shonen Jump Vol. 1, Chapter 3, Naruto says, "I'm finally starting to understand what I love about Sakura!"

It's not just the acknowledgement thing, either. A few pages before that he describes her as "a total babe." He has the hots for her AND they have important stuff in common.

[Branden]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Sakura should have learned genjutsu.
In movie 3 Sakura fought a villain who used a genjutsu that made the caster disappear into pink leaves.


Watch this fight and then tell me Sakura shouldn't be able to use that jutsu:

oh by the way I couldn't find a video that didn't have music in it so just mute this




Honestly that seems exactly like something Sakura would use, it's in her style and it gives her an edge in combat. Genjutsu made sense because as we learn early on she's a genjutsu type with incredible chakra control and natural talent for genjutsu. If Kishi spent time on her character she could be as good as Itachi at this point and team 7 would be at the level of the Sanin, in fact they would have surpassed them. But instead she's a healer support character

You can`t really blame the guy. It`s Sakura. Personaly I think Sasuke is an idiot, for going avay with Orochimaru when he could litteraly have every girl in his class and then some. But I`m glad he left, it gave Naruto a chance to get Sakura to fall for him.

Agreed. In the beginning, She was the smartest ninja in her class and Kakashi said she would be good at genjutsu. Kishi had the opportunity to make her a much stronger character with this but he really dropped the ball. Than again it is his manga.

Kishi is not an idiot. We will get to see some Sakura style kick ass genjutsu by the end of the manga. Who is to say it wont be her power up we were all so happily discussing. genjutsu is more plausible than freaking mokuton is it not?
And they are already Sannin level. Sakura can definetly hold her own against a powerful oponent.

Also, agreed. Part of Sakura's character is how she wants to get stronger so she doesn't hav to rely on Naruto. Though the feelings development won't be settled until the end, I think within the next couple chapters Kishi will focus on her wanting to get stronger, or at least give her some kind of fight. Hell if we are lucky maybe she will even punch Sasuke.

Sasuke^ Sakura^ Naruto^

It`s funny how we forget that Sakura`s punch is as powerfull as the first version of oodama rasengan. Just think about it. If you get hit....Which does more damage. Sakura of course.
