Sakura was obviously lying, but that smile of her when she was hugging Naruto... :S
Otherwise, if she's telling the truth, she's just a little wh*** who just loves popular guys.
I think Kishi didn't make Hinata confess for nothing. If his goal was to create a trigger for Naruto to turn 6 tails, why didn't he use any of the others? There must be a reason why he used Hinata. And no one knows if Naruto would get so angry if it was any of his other comrades.
Also, even if he wanted to use Hinata as the trigger, why didn't she just charged at Pain without confessing?
Baah, I'm thinking too much at 3 am -.-'
Kishi may start working on the relationship btwn Naruto and Hinata even more. They didn't even talk yet since the confession chapter.
Loved that last line from Naruto, "I hate people who lie to themselves". Who doesn't?
Sakura said this in a really bad moment... Naruto wants to find Sasuke, no matter what, and fight him, to end the chain of hatred that started with the Rikudou's kids. Well... Now it's the most appropriate moment for him to talk with Hinata and train at the same time. If he wants to find Sasuke, he just has to wait, as Madara wants them to fight each other.
He should practice staying more time in Sage Mode, and Madara should teach History in schools, the guy sure knows a lot.
Sorry for the long post -.-'
