Someone had asked me to translate a part of this, and I thought people here would be interested, too. It's the paragraph in the top pink bubble left of Sakura.

Naruto's growth into maturity makes Sakura's heart beat faster!?

Under Tsunade, Sakura develops not only mental and physical strength but maturity! When she reunites with the (something) Naruto, is her "girl's feeling" a sign of change!?

Notes: I wasn't sure of the phrase following Tsunade, but I'm guessing it has something to do with learning under her. Obviously I don't know what the one adjective preceding Naruto indicated by the '(something)'. And I'm also not sure how to best translate the "girl's feeling" (乙女心) into English so I just went with the literal translation - it's the same phrase she used at her disappointment that Naruto really hadn't mature and she wanted to know what she should now do with her "girl's feeling". Nihongaeri's explanation for the phrase can be found here.

Also, for those who don't know me, I minored in Japanese, but I'm not fluent and there could be mistakes in this (should be obvious from the few words I didn't get :thumbs:). I just try my best to help translate at people's request, usually when it hasn't already been done by someone more fluent.

Thank you! I noticed that and how it mentioned Sakura's initial feeling for Naruto and the "doki doki" (sound effect for a heartbeat), but I couldn't fully translate it. I think this pretty much confirms some NaruSaku this Thursday

[Gaara]

Awesome!

Well, I think it's also because of what she said to Naruto in Chapter 245. Smiter once said that Sakura actually said something about romantic feelings for Naruto, when she said "...the way I felt about you."

[Certifiably Insane for NaruSaku]

Sounds to me like confirmation for something we knew all along!

[Sharpiecat]

Holy crap O__O I knew it...I knew it all along! ^__^ This is totally a sign of what is to come! Which is Narusaku, of course.

I'ma gonna rub this in all of those Sasusaku fans' faces

[Keyes]

Good more hints. Im going to rub this in my NaruHina friends face.

[murdoc]

Thank you for translating it. I needed this because lately my NaruSaku spirit has been a little down (all because of a fic I read). That confirms that the NaruSaku hints that are in Naruto 2 is not of siblings love like most SasuSaku and NaruHina fans say.

[FullmetalNinja25]

Awesome, great find!

[axie]

Thats so awesome! I knew it! Haha take that SasuSaku & NaruHina!

Nyah!

Thanks for the Translation! Wooo!

[kawarimi]

You're welcome for the translation, but don't get too far ahead of yourselves guys. First of all it's for the anime, and it's just a preview posing a question to get people interested in watching the show, not necessarily an accurate version of what's to come. Still, it could be promising, so that's why I posted it.

I'm one of those SasuSaku and NaruHina fans you want to rub this in the face of. D:

[Kazama-san]

yay down with NaruHina/SasuSaku and the rise of NaruSaku XD good find kawarimi

[Tobi_Uchiha]

This demostrates that the Naru/saku relationship is the real thing
I also had my Naru/Saku spirit low because of a friend who is Naru/Hina, but after reading this note I see All the hints between Naruto and Sakura will go for real XDDD Yay for Naru/Saku.
Can´t wait to see the new episode this thursday

[Nick Soapdish]

Love the translation, but I'm not sure it's meaning that much.

1) It's from the anime team.
2) And it's just trying to hint at romance.

But it does suggest that the anime team also saw chapter 245 as hinting at romance and more importantly, that they'll play along instead of downplaying it.

Thanks for sharing it!

[Kazama-san]

can any1 else translate what the other stuff says?

[BlackLightning]

Hell yeah. Just hope that Kishi won't change his mind and make Naruhina out of nowhere instead of Narusaku.

[Saku-chan]

Yay! I'm so happy! The animators were leaning a bit towards NaruHina in the fillers, but now I think they get where Kishi-sensei's trying to go with NaruSaku. (I hope they don't make any more misleading fillers. )

[Silent Shinobi]

Great guys, but let's not put TOO much stock in this, ok? It's nothing that makes NaruSaku canon. If we get all excited over a simple line in an article, then we'd have no right complaining about the databook, or even fillers.

Nice find though. Thx 4 the translation, Pb!

[Ani]

Ooo! Thank you for sharing it!

Guys, dont go saying stuff about SasuSaku and NaruHina. What does it say in the rules about bashing? Keep it clean.

The anime team recognizing naruxsaku for part 2, thats a big breakthrough!!
About time I say

Heh, now Im looking foward to Shippouden even more!

[Smiter]

Thanks for the translation, kawarimi.

Yeah, this is a confirmation of what's said in Chapter 245 of the manga. I'll put the translated line in the spoiler. Don't click if you haven't read the manga, or don't want to know what's said!

Spoiler! --Click here to view--

Chapter 245, page 16 (from a scanlation I made):

*shaking a dazed Naruto*
Sakura: Where the hell do you expect me to put the way I felt about you!?

HUH!? *shake shake*

Like I could EVER feel lonely!!!

----

Sakura literally said "sparkling woman's heart", which is only used in a romantic context. Nihonjintaylor and Nihongaeri confirmed it can be read that way, but it can also be used to represent a "ideal" (something like an image of someone being perfect - she thought Naruto was attractive until he put his foot in his mouth).

Either way, the phrase does confirm Sakura's earlier actions in that chapter, that she can feel attracted to Naruto.

I did watch the Shippuden trailer last week (at the end of the last Naruto episode) and thought the animation quality wasn't good, but it should still be worth watching if the anime team do a good job with the script.
