In this chapter if she had went full against Sasuke and literally said "GTFO" everyone would have started to have respect for her; too bad she blew it.
How was that not a confession of love? she clearly poured her heart out fr him. NS shipper or not, you're going t have to except it.
It wasn't a confession at all. She was trying to stop him from killing Naruto and taking over the world. All this chapter did was kill off SS by showing neither Sakura or Sasuke want to be together, and set up NS by having Naruto bring up the POAL. It basically went:
- Sakura says she loves Sasuke (using the same word Kakashi used for Team 7).
- Sasuke takes it as romantic hence his response of "I have no reason to like her...".
- Kakashi corrects him saying "Sakura's not trying or wanting to make you hers! She just wants to save you!".
- Sasuke understands and thinks of his family.
- Hagoromo has a speech about family love.
It's pretty clear if you read the raw or the Viz translation. The confusion came from MS making up lines like Sakura saying "If I could have taken all your pain onto my self to comfort you I would have!" Or Kakashi saying "All she wanted just now was to be yours!" When in reality the first line was her talking about not being strong enough to fight him, and the second line was literally the exact opposite of what MS said.
