By the way, if you already have read the Naruto Manga 469, then I think you already have learned that Sakura finally hugged Naruto.

Yes, for the first time, I think (if I was not wrong), Sakura hugged Naruto like this. There were times that Naruto tried to do this to Sakura but it only ended up to the worst situation like what you’ve seen on the image embeded at my post, “Love Sakura.”

It might just be a show because Sakura and the other friends of Naruto wanted Naruto to stop chasing for Sasuke.

But I feel that Sakura really loves Naruto and cared for her. Here’s the dialogue of Sakura and Naruto:

• Sakura: Naruto, can you just forget the promises we made before? And please stop chasing Sasuke-kun too.
• Naruto: Sakura! Why did you suddenly changed your mind?
• Sakura: Sasuke-kun has just moving farther away from me Naruto.  But you’re always here beside me… always here to comfort me. I noticed all these things and I know you Naruto. You’re the hero who protected the whole village. You may pull pranks and you’d been a dropout once, but you spent all your time to become a more wonderful and admirable person. While Sasuke just keep committing crimes and becoming a different person that I want. Naruto, you gave me peace from the bottom of my heart.

On the Naruto Manga 459 page 14, Sakura revealed to her friends that Naruto is inlove with her. That’s the reason why Sakura made herself incharge in convincing Naruto to stop chasing for Sasuke-kun.

Ahhh Wait…

When Sakura embraced Naruto as revealed by the Naruto Manga 469, it was not actually the first time to happened because Sakura embraced Naruto in Naruto Manga chapter 450 at page 6. That was the time when Naruto returned to Konoha after the long talk with Pain.
