NOCTURNAL TRAVEL

The confession was just so... WRONG. I do, however, think that the 'lie' (as Naruto put it) refers to Sakura not caring about Sasuke at all. She has to (I could care less whether it's romantic or not) - he's a former teammate, a comrade... a first love!? Razz

And the way she said everything else was like slapping Naruto, the second best because Sasuke is far, far away.

After that chapter, all I had to do was immediately look for shoujo anime - a good one where female portrayal is done just as I would do Razz

I don't hate Mr. Kishimoto's style; I just assume there is a reason behind it all, one that I couldn't quite grasp at the moment.

Sakura's 'confession' was not a real confession. It was an underhanded, manipulative, way for her to convince Naruto to break his promise to bring Sasuke back for her.

Personally, I didn't like that way she went about it, but she is an adolescent who just found out that her teammate was madly in love with her and willing to go the distance to make her happy. Even if he, himself, would get the short end of the stick.

Though I may not like how she went about it, I do think this gives a whole new dynamic to the manga, and Naruto and Sakura's relationship. Sakura's not perfect, and Kishimoto has done an excellent job of illustrating this time and again.

In truth, I think Sakura does have feelings for Naruto. She's either too afraid to face them or she hasn't quite realized how deep she feels for him.

At first, when she began her confession, I was really excited. But then her facial expressions were pretty suspicious, and... fake. Then, half way through I realized she was lying. All the signs were there.

Can you picture my reaction? It's beyond words.

Yeah, I was preparing to rant, but that would involve curse words, and you know what - I don't want you, my friends, and the audience to put up with my BS.

Anyway, here's my next question: What is Naruto going to do next? Will he reject her? Will he accept, despite the lies? Will he lose a mountain-load of respect for her?

What do you think?

Here's a link to a possible scenario of what's gonna happen in Ch. 470. Razz

I loved it. Made me lolz so hard.

470: The chapter rocks. Bee vs. Kisame - yay!! Go Bee dance

As for Sakura's confession, looks to me like she wasn't lying about her feelings (for Naruto) after all Smile

But, hey, I could be wrong.

On a side note:
I watched the anime after almost a year and although I know it's a filler (aka no relevance at all), this week's episode showed Madara fighting almost everyone in the 8 man cell except Hinata. Makes me wonder 'why is that?'
