@NaruSaku4life3g: True. FMA did have a GREAT romance subplot and it barely did anything with it at all.
It wouldn't hurt either if Naruto handled its romance like that. buut What I wnat is that Sakura ' feelings for Naruto are not disputed but rather who she will stay together with. that's jut me.
Well if NS becomes cannon/confirmed before the plot it has two fates then.
1) it's confirmed but the story goes on like nothing happened
2) their relationship afterwards will be integral to the story.
As for it becoming cannon before the end I'm not sure. I enjoy Inferno's metaphor referring to Minato's comment as a cannonball send into the NH ship and we can get another huge NS boost that would send another metaphorical cannonball to SS. But like Kishi did with other NS moments, when things got to serious something happened. I have some ideas of what does could be, but regardless of what happens we can add another great NS moment to the pile.
Btw can you link me where you found those things in tvtropes.org about their relationship?
Sure thing. but just to let you know in advance, the ones about their relationship that express mutuality still have iffiness to them. and again, they usually only Acknowledge NS' friendship though a bit hypocritical since they also know of the value dissonance of Japan.
then again SS and NH did have valid points to them under that regard too, but still.

Not what you want to hear maybe but they were willing to admit "something" at least.
http://tvtropes.org/...e/AnimeAndManga ( Naruto has it's own section) 
http://tvtropes.org/.../Tsundere/Anime (Sakura is under the Type A category , but is acknowledged to be Type B now) 
If I find more, I'll post them since the are good for discussion.
and though they are opinionated they are for the most part neutral. they acknowledge both Sakura and Hinata's worth.
@HauntedCake: Yeah Me too. I LOVE FT, but This is not the place to discuss FT, so I will tell you there is a thread for it On Otaku Square in the Ichiraku Ramen Bar secton
