My $$ is on Hinata!! But Sakura has been a major character in the story!!

IMO, there won't be any particular reason why Hinata and Sakura will fight each other. Hinata like/love Naruto while it was made clear in the recent episodes that Sakura is still deep in love with Sasuke. Naruto had already accepted that fact that's why he got mad at Sakura when she tried to fool Naruto by saying she(Sakura) love him(Naruto). You can just change the question into "if Sakura Vs Hinata, who will win?" or "who do you prefer Sakura or Hinata?".

Well, it would be cool if they got into a fight over Naruto.(after war) like Sakura finally seeing how great Naruto is but Hinata in her way. Or maybe Ino sick of training under Sakura and jumps in Hinata's body and kicks Sakura's a$$. I would like to look at it from and outside point of view and say objectively who would win...........but since I really don't like Sakura's bull$hit since lying to Naruto about her love to manipulate him, I'm gonna say Hinata beats crap out of her.

Arggg i can't wait to see the Hinata/Naruto development this war is annoying the hell out of me. Based on stats Sakura is obviously a better fighter but Hinata has a determination to win like Naruto so this is a fight to see

Sakura may be in love with Naruto at this point, though she obviously still carries a torch for Sasuke in some fashion (I personally think she just has the hots for Sasuke, but that she is in love with Naruto though she's not experienced enough to tell the difference - just my opinion though. Pretty much every chick who has encountered Sasuke is "in love with him", and it has to be infatuation since none of them even got to know him, so why should Sakura be any different?).

Two things to back the first part of my statement up.

You can be in love with as many different people at once as there are different types of being in love. It generally just leads to problems, but I would say there are definitely problems here. A traditional love triangle is where everyone loves the next one in line, but a menage troi is a love triangle too, and that is when everyone loves everyone.

No one said Sakura was lying about what she said about Naruto, just that she was lying about what she said about Sasuke. It was basically the fact of why she was confessing that made it not work. She wasn't confessing for the sake of confessing, she was confessing to get Naruto to give up his ninja way, and Naruto would not do that even for Sakura.


So the only thing we learned from this really is that Sakura likes Naruto a lot more than she used to (or she wouldn't have been willing to try this approach). Besides that the only real person that benefits from Sakura's fake confession is Naruto (and Sakura if her confession of love is real).

All that being said, Sakura could end up going to join the "bad side" to be with Sasuke in which case a fight between her and hinata is entirely possible, I don't even need to suggest a scenario, there are so many possibilities there.

There is also ninja exams though we haven't seen any for quite a while.

I think Hinata would win between the two of them if it was a fight over naruto (or to protect naruto), I think Sakura would win in any other scenario.

wow!!! All of you have great points about the situation!!!! especially Almighty Wood!!! Sakura may like Naruto and do not realize it!!! It would take a dramatic event for them too link up!!! this means Hinata stepping aside!!! But if naruto was to choose Sakura after the war, Hinata will betray everything she stands for!!! Because she put her loife and feelings on the line for Naruto, during the Pain Saga!!!

if naruto felt she was telling the truth about loving him then Naruto would show a liittle compassion!!! Hinatas confession was more real due to the dramatic episode!! Naruto can sense if some one is lying!!! He gave it away when he told Sakura he hates people who lie tro them selves!!! akura will not join the evil side because in the manga she tries to kill Sauske!!!! I don't know; the answer to the question are worth waiting for!!!!

NO! sakura is a big SLUT! Hinata is very sweet and innocent! of course naruto will get with hinata! and if The slut and sweet hinata fight, hinata would be like "you're a slut!" at the end sauske kill the slut and then sasuke and naruto fight for the sweet and innocent hinata! that's how it going to happen. how do i know? well naruto told me. dont ask bitches!

wow bitch that's some ending!!! but not impossible either to be a fact!!!!

I agree with CASS7 about Sakura really don't have any intimate feelings toward Naruto. try to watch again the scene and you will see how many times Sakura mentioned Sasuke in her fake "confession" to Naruto. Most people speak about there love ones to others, some people even aren't aware they continuously say the name of their significant one. It was too obvious she still love Sasuke coz if she do love Naruto, she won't compare Naruto and Sasuke in every statement she said (comparing Naruto and Sasuke once in a confession once should be enough).
IMO, Sakura do have genuine care/love for Naruto but only as a very close friend since they shared many memories together. She acknowledges his current strength in combat and his heroism.

P.S. i might be wrong when i said there will be no circumstances that Hinata would fight Sakura. i forgot about the Chunnin Exam. they could have fought but IMO, that's the only reason they could fight since as CASS7 said Sakura won't join the dark side as shown in the manga she tried to kill Sasuke herself and Sakura won't fight HInata over Naruto based on the available facts.
