B/c she knows Naruto would beat himself up over it if he knew he had caused all that destruction and injured her.

They should reall change the name of this show to Stareppuuden. There must have been a full five minutes with of scenes just focusing on some characters face and zooming in or out. That coupled with the enormous amount of quasi-interesting dialog about things we already knek made this episode a bit of a snooze for me.
