What is an underrated NS scene no one talks about?

 

One from me personally when Sakura remembered herself thanking Sasuke for saving her, and he corrected her saying it was Naruto that saved her, which she didn't really believe at first but then Sasuke assured her he was being honest and that Naruto was so fighting so desperately for her that he showed his hidden strength, to which makes her smile bashfully. And in the anime it made an extended scene of her buying Ohagi (or some sort of sweets) for Sasuke and debating whether she should give some to Naruto to which the flashback happens and then she declares YES SHE WILL. As stated moments like these are overlooked by everyone having wet dreams of Hinata or vicarious wet dreams on how Naruto deserves a shy quiet girl that will never oppose him and how poor, abused Hinata deserves to be with her crush. 

 

Side note* but I really must say for all the complaining that  done that SP extended scenes to make Hinata look better and Sakura look like a worse tsundere than she actually is animated moments like that tend to be forgotten and overlooked even in this community at times I feel.

Honestly, a moment that doesn't get talked about enough is when she first showed signs of an unconscious, burgeoning attraction towards Naruto when he showed his determination to take on a missing-nin like Zabuza and began strategizing on how to defeat him with Sasuke. This is arguably the first time that she seriously acknowledged that he was more than just a class clown and an idiot, which caused her to blush and her heart to skip a beat, with her pondering what she was feeling in that moment.

She in the manga was also impressed when Naruto launched his Shadow Clone Surprise attack against Kakashi.

 

The impression I have of Sakura is I feel she likes cool/calm confident capable men. In other words, the opposite of her goofy father. This is why she likes Sasuke, as she likes his cold attitude as he is less likely to be goofy, and he normally only doing something when he can succeed which makes him seem very confident/capable. She normally has a fond or swooning expression when she sees Naruto is doing something impressive: the shadow clone against Kakashi, getting his headband back from Zabuza, and being informed by Sasuke the Naruto was the one who rescued her from Gaara. But, Naruto being Naruto he does something stupid that ruins the moment and she thinks of him as an idiot. The first time she was ever critical of Sasuke while praising Naruto, was during the fight with Orochimaru. Where Naruto was fighting, while Sasuke was cowering. Which she chastised him into action...of course this finally impress Orochimaru enough to give Sasuke the curse seal.

 

You can also see it during their reunion at the start of part 2, where Sakura was swooning over how amazing Naruto had become; before he ruined it with the sexy jutsu, 

 

Honestly, the two event that could be changed that would make Sakura fall for Naruto much quicker is. Remove Naruto transforming into Sasuke to compliment her forehead as that convinced her Sasuke must have hidden feeling for her, and have Naruto not ruin their reunion at the start of part two. Do those two things, and they'd probably be dating by the end of the month.

A question I want to ask all of you if you were the writer of Naruto, when would you have Naruto and Sakura hook up if you didn't have to place it at the ending?

[BlueStarSaber]

Probably around the time of the pain arc

there would be two spots I could think of which would be either at the end of the pain arc, or like just before Naruto leaves for turtle Island when Sakura tells him about Tsunade's condition!

Same. I would have her realize it was him that said her forehead is charming.

The problem is that the set up for the pairing is the Bench scene and the forehead comment was always made to hold off them getting together till near the end if not the end.

 

So there always has to be this moment. Sakura asks Sasuke about the forehead comment. Sasuke realizes that was Naruto and explains what happened that day. Sakura goes in to some sort of state of shock and confusion. A third party most likely Kakashi that is in the scene decided to question Sakura to think who she really loves. Thinking on it she realizes she loves Naruto. Since that was what Kishimoto intended when he made the bench scene he just didn't work towards it as he should have and abandon it.

 

Ideally in theory: Naruto and Sakura should not get together in part one; outside of stories where Naruto's parents are alive which case they are already more or less together. Part one is going from Sakura disliking him to Naruto becoming her best friend on the team as he is the only one that is willing to talk and listen to her. So by part two he is her best friend alongside Ino which is how he bonds with Ino. There should even a scene during a bit of down time where Sakura, Ino, and Naruto are at a café or a restaurant or something. Where Sakura gets up to use the ladies room leaving them to talk, they bond over their friendship with Sakura, and then Sakura comes in pulling Naruto away when she feels they were getting to close. Leaving Ino to think that Sakura should really just get over Sasuke already.

 

In Part two. They gradually get closer to the point that eventually anyone that meets them just assumes they are a couple and then questions why are they together when they learn they aren't. It certainly would've helped that every filler arc in the anime they tried to make Hinata the perfect goddess that must get with Naruto; it has the new character look at Naruto and Sakura and assume they are a couple then again be shocked when they aren't.

No lie, it's amazing what fans are able to come up with over the canon material:

 

Wow. A clan of psychopaths.

Either during the Pain arc, or after the bridge fight when Sakura sees Naruto in 4-tails form.

Question... when Shina is in danger... would Sakura say... "my baby."?

True true! 

 

 

Things should be good this time around!

I mean, if the danger is a person/thing, it would be along the lines of "Who the hell do you think you are, trying hurt to my baby?!" And of course, she'd only say that *after* punching out the idiot who'd dare do so.
