I think SS is dead, but they still haven't given up hope and are arguing this chapter is a positive instead of a negative.
Sasuke has no feelings for Sakura, he just said so. They're arguing that he's just not admitting it, but if he was in love with her he wouldn't put her in a genjutsu of him murdering her. That's just not something a guy who's supposed to care about you does, I don't care how you slice it.
I don't think NS is affected.
No NS is dead not SS, I seriously do not want Naruto to be treated as a second prize, and Sakura won't lose her love for the douche anytime soon, she had 690 chapters to do so but she failed. Her character is just like Hinata she resolves around her love for Sasuke, Sasuke also never openly declined her, he said there's no reason for him to love her (after Sakura collapsed) and Kakashi's basically says he's making excuses and there's no reason to love, like wtf what can of excuse is that? I'm sorry but that's bs writing
The part about Sakura realizing her feelings for Naruto when she wakes up might be possible. Genjutsu doesn't end when the victim is unconscious. (Those under the influence of genjutsu will either appear to be unconscious or continue to move around under the pretence of the genjutsu.) So she is still being killed over and over which will most likely traumatize her. I highly believe that genjutsu will make her get over Sasuke. Love can change to hate very fast.
No for a genjutsu to take place the user has to be near the victim, Sasuke's genjutsu gave such an impact to Sakura that she collapsed, just how Kakashi was immobilised by Itachi's genjutsu or how Sasuke fell into coma after a genjutsu from Itachi
