Naruto didn't seem all that satisfied by the answer she gave him, but it was kind of embarrassing to say any more than that! A love confession, that sort of thing was best left between the two people meant to hear it, wasn't it? She knew Naruto had a crush too, and it might be mean to say those sort of things in front of him.
"Geez Naruto, you shouldn't ask a girl things like this. Haa..." she scratched her head in a frustrated way, but considered the question as truthfully as she could.
"I used to like him because of that I guess," she admitted. "But things changed. I came to see just how incredible our team was. We all grew up a lot from where we started. And little by little, there were other things I came to admire and respect. You too Naruto."
Whether or not she would always like him? Well, the amount of care she had for her teammate hadn't diminished, even after so long. "The feelings I have now, I don't know if they're the same, but... more than anything, I just want him to be happy." It felt like she could wait forever just to see one genuine smile, even if it wasn't for her.
