It was in the beginning of an episode actually. It's the first episode after the Chikara arc. I think it was 296 or 297.


It's 296 - thanks!

Anyway, while I think the majority of people here are just taking this filler as, well, filler, and just enjoying it, it is interesting that some are using the "Kishi approves the anime episodes" argument. Because whenever there is a Sasusaku moment or a Naruhina moment in the filler and someone says "Kishi approves the anime!" everyone jumps on them and says that is a lie.

I get that people are excited, we just need to watch our double-standards cool.gif. Anyway, I wouldn't get to hung up on the words. It could be a wonky translation or something, while it is nice to hear. I just enjoyed seeing Sakura in action and watching Hayate acknowledge her (plus she helped motivate Yugao). It was nice to see her play a key role in this episode. Oh and is it just me, or did Sakura look really pretty in Hayate's quick flashback of her?

I'll admit that reading posts about the possibility of SS increasing thanks to the manga chapter got me a little down. But this episode got my spirits right back up.

So first we have Sakura telling lover-nin that she has someone she loves right now.
Then we have the comedic press conference that pesters Sakura about who this mysterious gentleman is, only for her to get annoyed.
Now we have Sakura saying Sasuke is the one she used to love.

So if Sasuke is the man of the past, then who is the man of the present? pictureem0.gif At least according to Pierrots interpretation of the series.

Don't get me wrong, I know fillers don't count, but today I'm in love with Studio Pierrot for trolling SS that hard. laugh.gif The only other filler that makes me love Pierrot even more is in 235 where Naruto blatantly says he's in love with Sakura and that he'll try his best to win her over.

I'm assuming the press conference was an omake. What episode was it at the end of?

Well, I can explain more but it's late, so I'll see if I can explain more. Also, Yamato said it best about what Sakura needs to do to become a great support, which the hospital scene pretty much confirm that he's right.

Good night everyone, it's been fun (I haven't done this in a LONG TIME). laugh.gif

You're taking her love for Sasuke and her desire to be acknowledged by him in disconnect, when they are part of the same line of thought. Ask yourself, why would Sakura want Sasuke to validate her worth, if not for his acknowledgement that her love for him is different than anybody else's? It's a causal relationship.

Because Sakura is shown time and time again as wanting to prove herself. And she does not say she wants him to acknowledge her love specifically. She says she wants him to acknowledge HER. Since she is also shown as wanting Ino to acknowledge her in a flashback that took place before that scene, as well as wanting others to acknowledge her countless times after that.
And yes, of course her reasons for wanting Sasuke to acknowledge her are wrapped up in her feelings for him. She has a crush on him. But it goes deeper than that, as proven by her constant meed to be acknowledged by people she admires, her need to be seen as an equal. And to say that since Sakura likes Sasuke therefore all girls who like Sasuke want him to acknowledge them is a fallacy.

Well he did call her a babe, that generally means looks over substance.

Yes in the beginning of that chapter it seemed to be a very flat, superficial crush. It was proven to be a bit more than that when Naruto figured out the non-superficial reason behind his crush during that very chapter.
Btw, I think Hinata's reason behind her crush is perfectly legitimate and non-superficial. She admired him for his personality (that is very advanced for a girl of her age lol). But Naruto's reasons are also non-superficial. And I like his better because I feel that having common ground (which Narusaku has a lot of) is a better foundation for a relationship than admiring someone.

Well, I wasn't expecting you to concede that the origins behind his love for her was a simple crush, but I suppose I'll take it.
I have to say, however, that the fact that Naruto must put himself through so much suffering and pain for the sake of seeking her love throughout the years is part of the reason I don't necessarily view his love as being good for him.

You can ignore my previous post - it got stated much more eloquently already.
And yeah, it hasn't necessarily been good for him. I can definitely agree with you on that. In some ways it has been (she was one of the first people to acknowledge him, he is the sort of person that NEEDS close bonds after not having any for so long, she was his main motivation for defeating gaara, etc.) But in Part II it has certainly been hard for him. On the other hand, loving someone selflessly helps you grow as a person and become stronger. And since he has grown so close to her, Sakura can see his pain and tries to do what she can to help him. Sometimes she is clumsy. But she is learning to grow, just like he is.
Love isn't always easy. But it it endures and lasts past the troubled times then it is nearly always worthwhile in the end smile.gif.
