I've read similar explanations, but I don't like it. Why confess to romantic love, and not just tell Naruto what he really means to her? And explain to him why she decided that Sasuke's death would be for the best, for everyone, including Sasuke? And following that, why didn't Naruto take that opportunity to discuss his view of Sasuke and Itachi? And Madara?
I mean, Kishimoto just creates needless drama. I don't get why Kakashi and Naruto are keeping the 'truth' about Itachi from Sakura, either. You'd think they'd all want to be on the same page when it comes to... well, the heart of the matter.

I actually had high hopes for that.
I theorized that she was kept in the dark on purpose, so that they would at some point confront one another, work out their differences and lies they told one another and Sakura specially would have her resolve renewed pertaining to helping Sasuke.
But Kishi pretty much skipped all that and chose not address anything.

So, yeah, I can agree that her intentions were good. Still doesn't change how I feel about what all happened. And that I think it was a bad move on Kishimoto's part. Sakura was basically used to make Naruto look good (him seeing through her and calling her on the bs), then Kakashi (who rescued her from Sasuke), then Naruto once more who also saves her from Sasuke... and then, even Karin reminds her that she's the one who poisoned the kunai! Her character has been broken down and others are made to shine. It's just annoying, basically. XD

I wasn't surprised in the least. Everyone at some point becomes foil for Naruto, no one is safe.

Sure, it's a realistic thing a girl might do... but not the kind of girl I'd have much respect for. Intentions aside, her actions are what I'm basing this on. And personally, Sakura should know better than to act on what Sai has to say regarding how ANYONE feels.... considering a big part of his character is lack of understanding when it comes to human emotion. lawl.

I do cut her character some slack in regards to this.
Sai caught her in a very bad time. Tsunade was in a coma, Suna nins telling her that Sasuke joined Aka and would be hunted down and killed. And then Sai comes around throwing the massive truth of how much of an insensitive friend she was being to Naruto always relying on him to do everything and not taking his feelings into account.
That was straw that broke the camel's back. So with that in mind, she decided to do everything herself and take the suffering alone. Her way of going about was shit but understandable since she was completely confused and sad.
Again, the one thing that irks me is Kishi not having her apologize to Naruto ( at least not on current panel ) when she was told to apologize to Lee, Kiba and Sai.
