I was watching all the episodes over a few days ago. In episode 207 Sakura confesses her love for naruto. But naruto turns her down and says she is still in love with sasuke.

My point is why in Manga chapter 631 kishi why would go back on that character development naruto made in episode 207 and manga chapter 615. I'm starting to feel kishi is getting into his characters heads and its not naruto talking anymore. It him trying to keep his pairings alive when there should be closure.

Another example is this chapter naruto and sasuke saves sakura but she only acknowledges sasuke. This is really starting to bother me. Not from a romance POV but a character development point of view. I could careless about romance but even if you want to ignore it you can't because I was taught growing up treat good who treats you right and sakura hasn't treated him good.

Tell me what you guys think.

I think that Naruto turned her down because he knew Sakura still had feelings for Sasuke.
So he did it for her not because he didn't like her.
About the developement..What can I say ? Many people are complaining :/

You my friend are amazing for someone who is new!

YES! YES! YES! YES, I completely agree.... The writer is just trying this romance mind-games on us when we should be concentrating in battle and you know beating the villain!

The Sakura still treating Naruto like an outsider and how suddenly she goes 'Sasuke-kun' is really bad development!!!

I really don't care about Narusaku or Naruhina. I'm just saying kishimoto shouldn't mess with character development just to keep pairings alive.
I disagree.
You have a problem with character development NOW?
Of all times, NOW?

How about when she faced Sasori and had done nothing since then?
How about the fact she's been a non-existent on the battlefield? (I know she's medical nin, but still...)
How about not doing anything of note during the Pain arc?

Who cares about her attitude and feelings to Naruto now? Her character has been completely under-developed LONG before this pairing garbage. The fact you used that as your argument to determine that there have been development problems and not even point out earlier moments where she should of been involved speaks volumes.

Look I only use one example out of many for example kishi was building sasuke up as a villian for almost 300 chapters to all of a sudden turn him into a good guy with no explanation. Why he did it just so we can see naruto vs sasuke for hokage I call this bad character development my friend.

Sakura does care about naruto she told naruto that she loved him so that he wouldn't have to chase sasuke around anymore
Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it's bad development
If she really loved him why would she still be **** riding sasuke after he tried to kill her, and after all naruto done for her. .That's bad character development sorry.

Wow you people are nuts.

There isn't any problem in Sakura's development, people just want to advance and change in the way they see fit or as much as the MC's do; however, that's just not how the author wants it. Kishi has never once had Sakura show signs of no longer liking Sasuke, she even thought about him when the random ninja asked if she had a boyfriend.

Sakura never lost her flame for Sasuke just like Naruto always believed they would be friends again. There is absolutely no difference. Have you all forgotten this is a kid story? Protagonists aren't supposed to change much at all, unless it's a redemption angle.
