I really can't wait for new info. After gathering all the information, I can image how this movie plays out.
Akatsuki attacks the village but fails in the end. Konoha nins goes back home with their parents, but Naruto has no one. Later that night, Naruto calls Sakura to come over (it's a theory) and they head to the park. Naruto tells her that she is lucky to have parents. Sakura will feel sad and try to help him. Unfortunately, Tobi attacks and then enter genjutsu.
They don't know what happened, but decided to find Tobi. They approach to Team 8, whom are very different from real world. Comedy here and there, they run away. Then, they meet Team 10. Then Sasuke. Then they go to Hokage's place. That's where they meet Naruto's parents and Sakura is shocked and immediately looks at him because she knows that this is what Naruto wanted. They go to the mountain and think over. Sakura tells him to leave genjutsu immediately and he agrees. He goes back home and parental love starts from there and so on. Naruto probably gets a call from Sakura (somewhat, I don't know how technology works there). Naruto becomes frustrated, but not at her but the fact it's not real. At one point, he probably forgot that he's in a fake world. So, Sakura waits for Naruto, but as she is waiting, she has been thinking the fact that Naruto is happy because of his parents. Sakura is afraid to see him crush or rather, prefer there than the real world. You can see her looking down before Naruto arrive, don't know how to break it down for Naruto. When Sakura hears Naruto, "What is it that you want all the sudden? I'm busy" She tried to act happy, saying, "Thought so." Naruto warns her that the genjutsu takes a while. Sakura no longer put a happy face and ask boldly with great concern, "Are you happy to be here?" Naruto was caught off guard and couldn't answer with a lie. When he stopped, Sakura knew it but at the same time, sadden. She wants Naruto to be happy, but she don't want to lose him to genjutsu. She don't want to break him.
I can see why Kishi kept her in a low profile for this movie. Naruto is the one with the problem. The whole purpose of the genjutsu, according to Kishi, is to bring back his parents, since it's the only possible way. The rest is done for fun and fanservice. He only doing it for the purpose of parental love. Notice all the info we got has been about Naruto's parents. When they talk about AU characters, they're there for amusement. Sakura's role is to support Naruto because he is the one that won't let go. The new footage show how Naruto and Sakura are together through the whole journey. Sakura needs to be there because Naruto needs a special person that knows him best. Sakura is the best choice and it's consistent. It reminds me Yamato's statement. It's not what you do that matters whether it's big or small. It's about the feelings you have for Naruto.
Oh man, one week left. I hope good things.
