Still can't get over the fact that this wasn't symbolic... hell it wasn't even foreshadowing at this point. Why is it there? Just to have Sakura out of the "final fight" I guess. Kishimoto couldn't think of anything else I guess. Oh wait maybe this is another "red herring" according the Kishimoto. Let us hope he doesn't decide to write in the mystery genre one day.
