p.s someone wanting someone else =/= couple BUT it is the ninja way, WAIT. of course, yes. I am done with this argument, by the time i see double-standards, such as "Sakura cares for Naruto which probably translates to RABU RABU" - "Sakura cares for Sasuke, but that doesn;t mean he is in love with him, pureaseee", i am out. Feel free to declare canon whatever you want. |

It's been stated by others that she only wanted to join him so she could get close to him to kill him. Also see Naruto's saving Sakura from Sasuke is simiral to Minato's saving Kushina from Kyuubi.

She has said she loves Sasuke at the end of Part 1, and her continuing actions show that his actions haven't changed or dulled these feelings. I'm not denying that Naruto loves Sakura, though considering he seems to beleive Sakura loves Sasuke, he is much more likely to go 'I want my beloved to be happy.' (Apart from Sai's flahback confession, what are the hints Part 2 Naruto wants to romance Sakura? I honestly can't remember.) You are also ignoring how in the confession, if she really did have those feelings, do you really think everyone else would deny it? Do you really think no one would believe her? The fact she wants to save him from pain but doesn't seem to love him speaks of friendship only. Yamato particularly disbelived her, and he is one of the people who was hinting at it earlier. Yes, I'll admit that there are hints, but there are more numerous and more blatent hints that she loves Sasuke. Objectively, which do you think is more blatent for Sakura's romantic intent- a direct confession plus about a dozen hints, including form her own POV and Naruto's POV. or vague hints plus a confession that was immediately blasted as false by pretty much everyone who heard it, immediately followed by her going to kill the other and failing miserably because of her feelings for him. ??? I'll admit I'm biased, but you're not exactly being impartial either.

What everyone is essentially doing is trying to explain Sakura's behaviour with Watsonian speculation.
But to me, what Sakura did in the recent arc was so ridiculously stupid and makes no sense whatsoever, I can't help but think that any Watsonian answer is seemingly impossible. Why the hell did Kishimoto make Sai say those things to Sakura if it weren't true? How can any normal human being still love a borderline evil asshole who tried to kill her after 3 years of separation (And i think the manga makes it clear that Sakura still loves him)? What was the point of all that NaruSaku hinting (And I also think the manga was hinting at it) if was just going to end up like that? Therefore, I prefer to opt for a Doylist answer: Kishimoto is an asshole.

I don't like Doylist explainations out of principle, though at least in the back of my mind I understand that at times it is the only explaination.
For example, those questions: Why did Sai say those things? Becasue he thought they were true. How can someone love after 3 separation? Ever heard the phrase "time/distance makes the heart grow fonder." His crimes are all attemption, with very few successes. love makes people forgiving. Take your pick. The point of NaruSaku hinting - because Kishi likes to screw with people.

I don't think she would be able to get close and kill him, since she failed the first time. Maybe that "trying to kill sasuke" attempt would stop her from her reckless actions.

I think that there are definite NaruSaku possibilities.
Sasuke, let's face it, is never going to come back. I think Sakura is starting to perhaps develop some feelings for naruto that run deeper than friendship, but part of her still loves Sasuke (or at least the part of him that was lost) and is rebelling against feelings for Naruto. As for her confession I think it had to do with the fact that she cares for naruto period and can't fathom him getting hurt badly, or worse, killed. She lost Sasuke, and doesn't want to lose another team member. She also sees Naruto's dream of being Hokage, his determination to find Sasuke (though now I think it's more about trying to reach Sasuke, realizing that Sasuke is never coming back.) and his unbreakable will, his ninja way and determination to never give up with which he attacks everything, and his passion for life (not just his, but life period-e.g. the fight with Pein/Nagato, his admiration of those like Minato, Jiraiya, etc) and, as we've already seen, admires him, but I think it is also beginning to attract her to him. Her care for him runs deep, as does his for her, and I think their pairing is likely. (also, see the parallels with Minato/Kushina) Oh, and the reason she couldn't kill sasuke I would say is because like I said she still has some trace of feeling for him, and also she knows Naruto desperately doesn't want Sasuke to be killed (see the scene in the Gokage Summit Arc when Kakashi, Yamato and everyone are breaking the news to him).

To be honest, Naruto hasn't shown signs of affection towards Sakura for quite some time now. There seems to be too many important things going on atm, and it's obviously that long ago he's already given up on her.
Is there a possibility of change of heart for her? yes of course, anything could happen. And with the way Kishimoto does things in terms of relationships, he progresses them very slowly. There's the eventuality of Hinata and Naruto finally having their heart to heart, as he knows the fans are probably spamming him with letters about it.

So what? Do you think Shikimaru is not good enough for Naruto? Because I think the opposite is true...Or are you trying to make some reference against 2 boys/men falling in love together?
Besides Sakura and Sasuke, Shikimaru is the only other of the Konoha 11 that Naruto really connects with, so a potential romance between the 2, while unlikely, would be very acceptable and interesting (Shiki does have a thing for loud blondes after all)... |
