@Arcane Okay sure, your opinion is your opinion. It's an interesting way of interpreting Kushina, though, since I've never heard her EVER be compared to Hinata. Although for the record, I've never heard anyone compare Hinata and Minato (I just realized how similar their names are...). Either way, he totally did screw with us if NH was always going to be canon.

As for SS, Sasuke never asked why Sakura liked him. But yeah, she had NO LEGIT REASON to like that total a**hole romantically. At all. AT ALL. So she couldn't put it into words without looking like a total idiot ("Because you have such nice eyes!"). In the end, Sakura's answer would probably be the same as Naruto's, but that doesn't constitute for romantic love. It constitutes for humanity love, if anything. And while the forehead thing you said is true, it was WAY too rushed. He can't suddenly have feelings for her in about 10 pages. That's unrealistic and way too sudden.
