I don't know that sounds too extreme for the situation, if that was the case you could say the same thing about Hinata. She was watching Naruto because she was also intrigued about him, the fact that he always tried hard to do his best even though he was a failure, like her.
Yeah, we could say that, only if we didn't see her blushing, fainting, breathless, out of words in front of him, coming to events for him and thinking about him with love interest.
Both Naruto/Boruto have this kind of eagerness to show off, with Naruto it is a bit universal because of how he was brought up neglected, for Boruto it is more signular; Naruto (His father he wants acknowledge from), Sasuke (His Master he doesn't want to disappoint),
Agreed.
and Sarada (According to the novel he doesn't want to look bad in front of her, due to something *Cough*, lol we know what they were trying to say lmao).
LOL, get it... And that proves my point. That's the reason he won't train in front of her if she sat in sight. Because in training, you fail and make mistakes which Boruto didn't want Sarada to see. Sarada was interested in his training, so she spied on him.
I think if anything Sarada being there to watch him train would have put more pressure on him to try harder.
There are just somethings you can't do in front of your crush. And preparing to impress them is one of them.
Let me give you an example. Some fat/obese/not so physically attractive people work out in hopes of looking smarter to impress girls. Will they also work out in front of those same girls they are working out for, for those girls to look at their chubby physique? No. Because that's what they are trying to change and have to hide that.
Yeah I don't really see anything that proves they like each other like that, but they obviously have untapped feelings for each other. Sort of like they are drawn to each other without noticing.
That I can agree with, makes sense.
