Erm...I just can't see Sakura acting too different. There may be a wow moment, but I don't think that would last for more than a few scenes. She'll be happy that he found his dad is such a hero and she'd probably start mentally pointing out their similarities and hit herself for not suspecting, but I think that's about it. Their relationship won't be affected, more than likely, but anything can happen, I guess.

Should Sakura ever find out about Naruto's lineage, I would suspect that, like other people have already said, she would flashback to her insensitive remarks about his parentless life and feel guilty. I also think it would be the perfect opportunity for her to apologize for all the times she treated him so unfairly. It should have been done when she realized he was a jinchuuriki and learned the price of extracting a bijuu from its host, but we only saw her tears. We were kind of given an apology, uh, chapter 296 (?), when she ran at Kyuubi-Naruto and she offered to lessen the burden for him.

She had the perfect opportunity to "confess" when they were alone in the hospital after Hidan/Kakazu battles, but she never said anything, either.

Maybe the revelation of Naruto's parents will be a good opportunity for Sakura to apologize? :3

[Bazo]

I think, when naruto know that his father is Minato, he will be happy
And Sakura will act normally around him, maybe treating him better because of seeing him happy

[Gena kumo]

Well, one of the basis points in Mizura/Heronite's manifesto on Narusaku is the fact that Sakura likes Naruto for who he is.

Here's a quote to illustrate my point from the second part of her manifesto.

Spoiler! --Click here to view--

excerpt from Heronite:
I.3. Underneath the underneath: genuine fondness for one another.

....And Sakura, she complains about Naruto's ongoing brain-deadness (is that a word?). However, there's more to it too. When they compare Sasuke and Sai though, and Naruto makes a clumsy compliment of Sasuke instead...

She smiles that intimate smile again, the one she's only ever dedicated to Naruto. But why now? Basically, Naruto is being loud, bratty, maybe somewhat in denial where Sasuke is concerned. In short, Naruto is showing that despite everything, despite all the difficulties, he hasn't changed. So I believe that Sakura smiles that first smile because she realizes this: that Naruto was still the same Naruto. And she smiles that second, intimate smile, because she wouldn't have it any other way.

You would have to think very, VERY little of Sakura if you expected her her to suddenly begin "worshiping the ground" Naruto walks on, or consider him a love interest...or something like that...simply because of his lineage and parenthood.

Personally, such behavior would disgust me. (and be VERY VERY OOC behavior for poor Sakura.)

Of course...She IS gonna be happy that Naruto's happy. That's what friends are FOR!!! ^__^

Or else...If he's confused and conflicted about this new information...she'll support him through the troubled times.

But other than that...(At least, according to her character development thus far)

...I don't and wouldn't expect much else.

And honestly, in the words of Mizura...

I "wouldn't have it any other way".

Sakura's acttitude wouldn't change so much, because her feelings are for the person (Naruto) and not for his heritage. But, she'd be so worried for Naruto, it's not easy for him to know that the person who admirates all his life is his father.

Naruto's feelings about the notice is the most important for Sakura.

Kisses.

I really think that Sakura will be shocked...She will really think that it is a joke(of course it is REAL!)...Haha...but then I think she will be able to bear with it especially when Naruto is being a very good man....Ne??

[Vicious]

I can see her being a bit more shy around Naruto-kun... just a little bit.

[shadow_Uzumaki]

I'd think it'd be either a "OMG! Now I see the resemblance thing," or an, "I knew it all along" reaction. All I know is it won't change too much between them.

[Merger Knight]

Same here. Especially since Naruto has been working his butt off for people to acknowledge him for who he is, and not as the Nine-Tails' vessel. The villagers finding out could finally earn him the respect he's wanted, but I can't see him being happy with it.

don't the adults in the village already know?

[Cloud]

Yeah, they do. That's why they respected him at the beginning of the series. /end sarcasm. :rolleyes:

Think about what you're saying before you type it out. The 4th being Naruto's father would be a S+ rank secret. If it ever got out, people could use Naruto as a bargaining chip and try to kidnap, ransom or just outright kill him.

Cloud makes a good point. If the people of the village initially knew of Naruto's lineage would they really treat him as the scum of the earth? No, they'd probably treat him with honor, give him a gigantic house and wait on his hand and foot like Konohamaru was.

And to answer the original question... I think Sakura would be confused as to how to treat Naruto for a while before deciding that he's Naruto and knowing his lineage wouldn't make any difference in who he is and how she should treat him.

I agree too. When Sakura found out about the demon inside Naruto, she took it in stride. I'm pretty sure there was a mixture of emotions there that sort of stumped her, but in the end she learned to accept it and go on. I think that's how she would react to Naruto's heritage. First she'd be confused, have to be left alone for a while, and then she'll come round.

Thats what I meant I though the whole thing was a secret that they were forbiden to discuss it.

I mean people kn ew expept for the kids he had the fox and had to keep it a secret. Thats all I was saying.

No. The adults knew that Naruto had the fox, but not that the Yondaime was his father.

As I said before, it was an S+ rank secret that the top brass knew. The Sandaime, Jiraiya and Tsunade, possible Orochimaru as well. Did you think they'd trust the villagers of Konoha with such a enormous tale?

It'd spread like wildfire, and they next thing we know, it leads to Naruto being captured.

[Denim88]

Wow did everyone just forget about what happened in the third chapter?

She made fun of him for being an orphan

I think she'll think back on that and feel guilty. Though knowing Kishi and how he did the reaction to Naruto about being a jinchuurki, he might just not work on it. Who knows.

Yeah, now that I think about it, that most likely would be the case. I mean, it seems that she's still trying to get over that bump in the road for all the hard times she's given him. I mean, I'll be honest, while Sakura is MUCH better towards Naruto now, it doesn't mean she's entirely guilt free of what she's done. I think it will probably give her more to mull over, and she may even start questioning why Naruto was treated so badly, even if the fact that he holds the Kyuubi inside of him is a blatant reason.

I think that Naruto may either a) be shocked by the revealing of his heritage; b) be happy and maybe even a bit proud about it, but not brag, since Naruto won't brag about that kind of stuff or c) go into a slump like he did with Jiraiya. In any case, I think Sakura will be there to help him through, and make sure he doesn't get too full of himself. Sakura's become more of a pillar for Naruto, and vice versa. I think that when, if ever, this information is revealed to him, Sakura will be one of the main people to help him through whatever he goes through.

[Paradox Jast]

I don't see her acting differently towards him at all. It's not said, but I think it can be understood that Sakura is the more mature of the two of them anyway. (Though females generally mature faster than males anyway)



As for calling him Naruto-sama? Only in the bedroom.

[Naruto_T7]

We'll see I have a feeling we're not that far off from all of this happening.

Hmm, Naruto knows but I don't know whether he'll go round flaunting the fact?
Perhaps he will, but maybe if he doesn't tell Sakura, Tsunade will?

[Naruto_T7]

I'm pretty sure there was a mixture of emotions there that sort of stumped her, but in the end she learned to accept it and go on. I think that's how she would react to Naruto's heritage.

Yes, if anything she felt sorry that he hadn't supported him, I think, and he had to struggle his life on his own.

[Nee-sama]

She'll probably tease him by saying he must take after his mother since he's so much dumber than Yondaime.
