Yes, its Indra.
I wouldn't say I don't care on pairings, but this thought came to mind when reading the topic "Why does Naruto love Sakura"

Well I think I may have figured out why Kishi let this happen. It's because Sakura loved Sasuke, and Naruto was unconsciously falling for Sakura because of that. He wanted to be Sasuke so how could one start? With the girl, of course. He not only wanted to prove his worth to Sasuke but Naruto also wanted to show Sakura that he was just as worthy of a man.


Now as Naruto has progressed as a man he will soon realize how the only person he "loved" was just a mirage to his real goal, to the only person who had given feelings back for him. Hinata

I always figured it was superficial love.

it would be wonderful for naruto to be dynamic. I mean he can learn to let go of the things which isnt meant to be his...

Naruto's "love" for Sakura was out-right disgusting and portrayed horribly. It was like watching a kindergartner ask out another one, constantly to no avail. No love, no emotion, no feelings.

If anything Naruto and Sakura have proven that both a male and female can have a strong relationship with eachother without "those" feelings being in the way.

I agree completely. Maybe more character progression as he carries on into the manga, or the last movie?

Hopefully he'll learn to let things go when Sasuke returns or at least stops being "that" Sasuke.

He still loves her.

Maybe. But I believe Naruto is finally progressing as a man and after this war he will have time for his "feelings" that aren't blocked by his sense of bromance-duty for Sasuke. Maybe, then, we'll see.

remember when Naruto swore on Hinata's blood to kick her cousin ass because of what Neji did to her...and the Pain arc was just another level of madness when she almost died right in front of him...and Neji gave his life for them in the battle field...the end of the circle that's it!

it was under our noses since day 1, thx Kishi!

He had a crush on her.But the crush could have blossomed into love,but there was no romantic development between Naruto and Sakura.
I think Naruto is mature enough to realise and move on from her.

There was a filler episode,where it was mentioned that Sakura in the team could provide rivalry between Naruto and Sasuke(just like it did fo Obito and Kakashi)

I don't know why you guys are saying this. He called her his girlfriend in front of his dad.
