Why shouldn't they? Nothing confirmed ns this chapter. A lot of people think that Naruto doesn't even love Sakura at this point of manga. They are just friends. Go figure...
Well it showed a little bit I guess
Guys I think Naruto meant it in a way that, Naruto still thinks that Sakura will pick Sasuke since he's back. Not because he's "settling" not because he's "confused or "picking hinata" none of that. Let's be reasonable here guys. That's his day one goal, become hokage, get Sakua. Easy as that
True he's not too sure on how he will talk to Sakura about loving Sasuke or something because he thinks Sakura still loves Sasuke
The problem is that he has already chosen for Sakura: you love Sasuke, you will be with him, I can't be with you because of that blah-bla-bla...
Sasuke doesn't even care if he ends up being alone he could end up with Karin if he wanted to.
