Also perhaps we should get a weekly next chapter speculation thread going?
I see it pointless. Usually we use the weekly chapter threads not only to talk about the current chapter but also to speculate about the next one.
Anyway I'm considering going back to my former stance: stopping read each chapter when it gets posted, and waiting several weeks in order to read several chapters in one go.

Actually, no, we know right from the manga what her reaction would be- absolutely horrified.
I agree. She wouldn't be thrilled. She wouldn't be thrilled at all.

Re- fight on top of the hospital between Naruto and Sasuke. Sakura had no idea it was spurred by Sasuke's rage over Naruto exceeding him, as far as she knew it was a fight over her.
Are you sure? Back then I think she was perfectly aware Sasuke wasn't in love with her. He had never accepted her advances, and after waking up his rejections were even more violent and more callous.
Then again, I guess she could think Naruto was fighting Sasuke over her.

And this actually leads into her reaction to the love triangle thing in 451. Yes, she realized by the time Sasuke left he never did nor never would love her, but still she blames herself for her fawning over Sasuke adding that much more to team tensions, making Naruto unhappy and jealous. If she hadn't been deluded by her fantasies and just been equally friendly to both boys she wouldn't added to the tensions but diminished them, possibly making Naruto have a more profound effect on Sasuke, maybe having enough of an effect that Naruto would have been able to get through to Sasuke and convinced him to return.
Mm... You make pretty sense.
