Yeah that surprised me the most from this episode. Omitting the punch and just having the hug there would have shown how uncharacteristically relieved Sakura was at that moment. Or they could have shown her arm flying out like she was going to punch and shown Naruto's face flinching, then cut to that hugging animation with petals floating, doves being set free, harps playing, champagne bottles uncorking, condoms being unwrapped, etc.
And yeah I also expected more outrage from viewers about the resurrection, but I was pleasantly surprised. My thought was: Naruto earned every single praise he's finally getting, and he earned Kakashi's life too.
Hopefully he'll give Hinata more of his attention from now on-if he wants to find her after THIS performance I imagine he need only follow the slippery trail.
I'm really interested to see how townspeople will interact with Naruto now. Up until this point, he basically blended into every crowd in Konoha scenes(between major events) and the only one I can remember calling him on a first name basis would be the Ramen Chef. Think Naruto will still have to pay for his food? He fucking shouldn't.
