Hi,
This is only my second post after my introduction post, so please forgive any etiquette errors and please correct me so I can learn the right way to do things around here.
My problem (apart from being mildly obsessed with Naruto and NaruSaku):
I started with the anime but am now trying to catch up and read the manga, from chapter 1-632 (as of today). I couldn't help myself but I looked at a few chapters ahead that have been referred to and I found a trend.
I was sure what I found is something the regulars on this forum found long ago, so I tried to use google to find the posts to validate/confirm/explain my idea. However, I have failed, hence this thread.
In 3, after Sasuke called Sakura annoying, she gets a better understanding of Naruto. Then, in 183, Sakura has a flashback to 3, about her saying Naruto does not understand her and realises a deeper understanding of Naruto. Then, in 458 when Sai confronts her about Naruto's love for her, she has flashbacks to 183 and gains a still deeper understanding of Naruto.
I was just wondering what's Naruto's trend, if any? Does it start at the confession at 469, which he could not accept because he was fixated on the old team 7, which is then shattered by Sai in 474?
Any help and insight would be greatly appreciated.
