Sakura guarded Naruto too. In part 1, when he was unconscious during the Chuunin exam.

she never risked her life for him, she did this for only one person => SASUKE and why? because she loves him since day 1

Pretty much when Kishi decided to make it that way when he gave the interview...

He's liked her for the same amount of time Sakura liked Sasuke, so there you have it.

I think it was when Sakura begged, sobbed and made him make that promise back in part 1. The look on his face looks like one of realisation imo. "This girl will never love me"

FIRST, Naruto has never loved Sakura it was just strong childhood crush and affection which had great potential to develop into great love if the feelings were mutual from Sakura. However over time it has developed into close frienship relation with some beheaviour of brother/sister treatment. It was until Sakura's fake confession where Naruto got pinky cheeks. Minato scene was to be treated as joke especially after seeing Naruto reaction.

While NaruSaku relationship has been progressing much faster since the begining of manga due to spending alot of time with each other and being in one team NaruHina has been indoubtly progressing much slower having little interaction and being in other team. Sakura's fake confession was point at which Narusake has not just slowed down but also reversed slowly dimnishing feelings while NaruHina has began progressing quite fast never regressing.

When Naruto arrived in war arc to save Hinata and Sakura then Naruto feelingfor Hinata were equal or bigger to that towards Sakura. After Neji death and hinata helping Naruto i believe Naruto realised/awoken weak romantical feelings for Hinata. Sakura confession to Sasuke after Kaguya fight just killed NaruSaku possibility.

Also Naruto has never recalled Hinata confession so that why it took so much time. The reason why Naruto has never attempted to talk about his feelings with Hinata is being afraid of rejection just like with Sakura. He got romantic feelings for hinata after neji death but never hearing Hinata confession he didnt know she loves him while Hinata didnt know Naruto lost her confession memory thinking that it wad turn down in gentle way and that why she couldnt confess to him again.

Basically considering amount of interraction of Naruhina it is great couple and worthy.

and Minato also said Naruto = Kushina and Kushina also said Naruto = herself...

so the plan is KushinaXKushina now?

Hinata is like Minato and she did the same thing for Naruto that Kushina did => used her own life to protect his.

Sakura fought to protect both Naruto and Sasuke in the Chunin exam and in part 1 Naruto was compared to Minato by Jiraiya who said he looked just like him, Minato was Naruto's hero growing up, Naruto mastered Rasengan much faster than Minato and Naruto risked death to save Sakura from Gaara as Sasuke told Sakura. Sakura also got hurt from 4 tails Naruto while trying to get Naruto to regain his conciousness and almost died until Yamato saved her and Kabuto healed her. She also saved Naruto's life when Kurama was extracted.

Naruto loved Sakura throughout the manga and possibly past it; that's his first love and you don't just fall out of love as fast as many people thing he did. I see people saying oh he knows she loves Sasuke. And? You act like guys irl don't try and sometimes getting girls who care for other guys. Naruto knew Sakura cared for Sasuke yet still liked her so why do put think he fell out of love when she told Sasuje she loved him? Naruto knows this already, he would step back when he saw them possibly getting together but if Sasuke left without showing interest in Sakura then Naruto would of made a move on her and in time they would most likely gotten together. Yes people, people who loved a person can move on in time. Saving Sasuke was the mission and he's saved but if he didn't have feeling for her then no point waiting for him. Kishi said himself he sucks at romance with the manga.

I have a feeling that Naruto will still show his feelings for Sakura in the Last. But manga-wise, if I were to pick a specific moment, it would also have to be when she said "I love you" to him.

My thoughts on Naru/Saku are that Naruto had a really big crush on her most of his life. It could have turned into love if she had shown the least little bit of romantic feelings for him. I also think part of his feelings for her were tied up with his rivalry with Sasuke. I think a part of him thought it would be an ego boost if he could get Sakura instead of Sasuke getting her. Once she lied to him about being in love with him instead of Sasuke, I think his feelings for her started to change. He saw the futility in it, but sometimes feeling are not so quick to go away, especially when you are on the same team and your lives depend on each other.

He had no females around him growing up, Sakura was always there, sometimes needing to be saved, and other times needing a shoulder to cry on because of Sasuke. She did come to believe in him, respect him and support his goal of becoming hokage. To a confused teen, with no women in his life, he probably felt like she was sending him mixed signals. When you think you have hope, you are not so quick to let something go.

I don't think him letting Minato think there was something going on between him and Sakura was an indication of his feelings for her, I think it was more to impress his father. I think by this time he was starting to let the hope go, if not the feelings, sometimes you always hold a special place in your heart for the first person you cared about.

Now about Hinata, Naruto has had a growing respect for her since Part 1. He did not really know her, and even thought her strange at first. The chunin exams changed that. He saw her determination in her fight with Neji and admired her for it. Her defeat fueled his desire to defeat Neji. He realized then she had the same nindo as him even though he had yet to realize that it was because of him that she had it. During Pain he got to see how brave and fearless she was to attack Pain in order to protect him. During the war he got to see how far she and Neji would go to save his life so that Obito couldn't get him. She got through to him when he was in the depth of despair over Neji's death and Obito was trying to convince him to join his side.

I guess that Kishi will show a lot of flashbacks with the two of them showing how instrumental they were to each other, with at first Naruto being too blind to see it, and then him having been too busy with the war, Madara and Kaguya to even think about it. He will admire her determination to get Hanabi back and start to realize he cares, then when Hinata herself gets kidnapped he'll realize how increasingly important she has become to him.

I guess this scene was the moment when Naruto started to realize how much Sakura loves Sasuke.
