Chapter 172:
Shikaku - Even the roughest women is tender to the one she loves.
Chapter 289:
Sai - Sakura-san, you're very, yeah, gentle with Naruto, aren't you.
Chapter 297:
Yamato - It's not a problem of big or small...what's important is the strength of feelings you have for Naruto. Tss... Sakura... I can tell by looking at you... in reality you...
Two times when Naruto was conscious and Sakura's feelings were maybe about to exposed, he brushed off the moment.
Chapter 261:
Sakura has a tear in her eye after Chiyo explains what happens when jinchuuriki are extracted[i]
Naruto - ... Sakura, you're always being moved to tears, Sakura-chan... I told you to worry...because I'll rescue Gaara.
Sakura - Naruto...! It's you... I'm...
Naruto - C'mon let's hurry!
Chapter 289:
[i]After Sai's statement, Naruto breaks up the silence.
Naruto - Come on, let's get going. If we're there by noon tomorrow, this'll be for nothing.
At the same time Sakura has yet to confirm or deny her feelings (except to reject an offer in chapter 311 in Naruto's words of "a walk, almost a date") and Naruto has not allowed Sakura to do so in the presence of others when asked if he's around. Naruto still does have feelings for Sakura but he's much more subdued about it ever since he made his promise of a lifetime. He appears to be in denial that Sakura has any romantic feelings for him, if he even notices. I think both fail to notice that maybe the other is trying to bring Sasuke back to bring the other one happiness. Sakura, to get Naruto's "brother" back and Naruto to get Sakura's "first love" back. And they feel feelings will only complicate the retrieval.
At this point, if Sai, the emotionless ROOT member whose emotional IQ can see NaruSaku, I think we assume that the rest of the rookie nine plus Team Gai, Kakashi, Gai, Tsunade and Shizune see it too.
Naruto and Sakura are in denial and will be until they get Sasuke back.
