Easy there. You made it sound like we about to close the fight in the next chapter. I have been saying that we finally got to the end of this chapter of Team 7 being out of place. No one is a stranger to anything. If anything, that "Thank you" is the conclusion to all of this before the scroll decided to hate on Kakashi and burn itself. When you think about it, nothing continuation happens after that because it was concluded. Do you honestly think they will be floating with Naruto throughout possibly 2 volumes? Give it time. We only just begun.I know many are hopping Kishi will do something with Sakura but I think all she will get is to watch this fight, its how I'm feeling right now with what is going on. God she should have been placed in IT at least that way she would not being getting the middle finger that she is right now every chapter or better yet ever arc he keeps going on about how he will do better and he will make her a heroine but all that is, is cheap talk.
Right now I feel Sakura should just die a hero like Gray Fox The Boss or Fortune from Metal Gear solid games, I mean I think at least that would be better than what Kishi has been doing to poor Sakura that is how I'm feeling right now, at least with her death it will make Naruto fight harder and show Sasuke is and always will be an A** to everyone.
If you're mad, mind if I suggest to take a rest from here or any Naruto related. I am with E3 and others. Just relax.
