lol this is a guy who drags everything out, I know we gone see then get together at the end.
I don't think anything got killed in this chapter besides my respect for Kishi (and perhaps shounen manga in general). This is same ole same ole for Kishi This isn't the first time Sasuke has mocked Sakura's love for him and I reckon it won't be the last. Just as this isn't the first time Sakura said she loves Sasuke. I imagine we'll get some more NaruSaku hints before the manga ends, but that's about it. A romance ending in this manga (in most japanese series aimed at young men) is highly unlikely. Mark my words, it'll be some vague BS at best (i.e. the final scene shows a silehoute of Naruto holding someone's hand with a wedding ring attached).
Side note- what if in the genjutsu Sakura-Chan has A dream about Naruto saving her and being with her I have a feeling Kishi might take this route we wanted her in the Tsukyomi now we sort of got her in there probably dreaming...
