Regarding the question of whether or not Sakura will choose to become a housewife, this is what we have to go on:
"631" Sakura made it clear that she's not willing to be pushed aside, and she is unwilling to allow Naruto to become so protective that she is not allowed to function as a ninja.
Sakura's claimed several times that she considers herself a real Ninja, and she has stated several times doesn't want to be left behind.
The assumption that because we've never seen Sakura in the hospital --except during the Pain Invasion, and during the War Arc-- really doesn't make sense. For Sakura to be stationed at the hospital during emergencies, let alone to have the authority to lead the hospital, she's have to be familiar with the hospital, the staff, and protocol. Not to mention, the staff seemed familiar with her during the crisis. If she didn't have some familiarity with the hospital and staff, she could not be placed into such a position. Chances are, at the very least, she'd have to take shifts at the hospital when not on mission, when not training/working with Tsunade, or when not doing research.
Fist of all it's true that Sakura wanted to be strong but mostly of it to not be protected by Naruto and Sasuke at all times and it's something she already fullfilled.
But didnt kushina stated she wanted to be a hokage and be the strongest Kunoichi of the leaf village and left behind because of Minato and realized that what most important on life is be happy.
Inst it the same path Sakura is going on?
Realizing her true love for Naruto because she realizes it's what make her happy the most.
Sakura is familiarized with the hospital, protocols and stuff but because on part 1 she started training there at Tsunade's orders.
She's mostly doing research on the hospital with or without Shizune and on emergency situations and she's always unlike the other medical ninjas goes into battle.
And the term for it is field medic.
And most important i think that we arent understanding each other here.
You said " Chances are, at the very least, she'd have to take shifts at the hospital when not on mission, when not training/working with Tsunade, or when not doing research."
So what about Naruto?
She's more familiarized with the kage's office than the hospital.
The shippuuden starts with her perfoming tasks for Tsunade instead of being at the hospital and she's always being shown at the kage's office.
Chances are she will work at the kage's office with Naruto much similar to Tsunade/Shizune.
