- has a nuance that means that something was done for you. In this case, it implies from Sasuke that Sakura did something for his arm ( graft, transplant, etc). Its not a hardcore and direct Because of you.

is not the samethank you as you see arigatou . The nuance with tsumanai is that you use it to express a pardon for inconveniencing someone else. It can be used to say Im sorry and Excuse me in a way that arigatou cannot be utilized. The nuance is more apologetic, but with the context, the meaning is closer to thank you, IMHO.

can sometimes mean Im in sync with you, but that seemed unlikely within context. The other more common denotation is for is to mean a classmate, peer, someone in the same year as you, etc.

has a meaning thats not as simple as its on my mind(literally). The connotation for it is moreso like Im interested/care about xxxxx; Im feeling worried/anxious about xxx; or Im feeling a bit uneasy about xxxx. So it cant really be translated exactly, but the meaning is a cross between them.

So there are a ton of nuances that involve love in this section. Its impossible to go into depth into all the nuances (it would take pages, seriously! Its outside the scope of what I can write about at length here~) . There are a lot of resources out there that will explain the nuances (google will be your friend!)~~But the mini-version is that there are different degrees of to love in Japanese that do not exist in English.

The order from crushes/less serious to forever love would roughly be like (suki= to like)>>> (Daisuki= to like a lot/love)>>> (Koi= infatuation, or a passionate/romantic love)>>> (Renai=--step inbetween//a more pure love--)>> (Ai= giving an unconditional/even deeper love). There are distinct usages/differences between them. Their connotations vary (such as koi sometimes being referred to more of a selfish love versus ai being referred to as a selfless love), but thats a topic for your own personal research if youre interested in it.

So in this section: Suki= Sakura talking about Inos feelings to Sai;;; Koi = Sakura talking about budding love;; Renai= Sakura talking about being fulfilled in love, and comparing the development of eachother's relationships.
