Quote from asudake But it's not so much Sakura, but the Promise in it's self, because:
A. Naruto Loves Sakura, so he will do anything for her.
B. Naruto doesn't go back on his promises (It's his Ninja Way for god sakes!)
I think it's 'cause I've spent too much time around shippers or something, but I hate the line of reasoning around A. I'm loving Naruto in the latest chapters 'cause he's basically flat out said that he's not doing it for Sakura or the promise, but just for Sasuke. He's doing it for the friendship, which seems to be the central theme of the story.
Quote It's like Naruto is trying to achieve what his master could not, Save his Brother.
Yeah, but Naruto's been doing this since before Jiraya even joined the picture. Ever since he warmed up to Sasuke as a rival, Naruto's been trying to help Sasuke heal his wounds. Sasuke's his (platonic) other half, like Gaara but more important 'cause of the team bonds, and Naruto wants to see him happy. Also, Naruto's a pure shonen hero, so it's his job to try to fix every broken character he can. I kind of agree that the promise is part of his determination, but I don't see it as motivation, more as yet another chain that binds 'em.
