Well there is one thing that naruto and sakura would do when Sasuke comes back, not run to him as many say I mean still last they saw him, he was a revenge driven physco. He changed but it's going to take more than just saying sorry for everything no hard feelings. More importantly, we don't know sasukes full motives or outlook, so this makes for some interesting variables like for the naruto vs Sasuke fight.
SS can get a last hurrah, but it really just existed as long as sakura loved him. Kinda like nh, SS at the point is just a destination, both of these practically began with the right stuff but it was just more and more put on ns throughout there series. Ns is the part of the journey, and it's about the journey, not the destination. Remember naruto wanted to be hokage for acknowledgement, but that acknowledgement came to him sooner than he thought as he proved himself again and again like after Zabuza, beating neji, saving sakura and beating gaara, finding tsunade, saving gaara, etc. he made a name for himself and changed those around him.
To me, the Build up thread shows a lot of what we can suspect to happen, but there are just too many loose ends as I said before, no matter if ns is canon or not, any fans who like or hate the pairing. At least all these loose ends should be tied up like why naruto felt towards sakura from 457, both of their current feelings for the other, and if they actually turned away from their first love. For me, it's just naruto cannot stop loving sakura, that this point whe they understand each other greatly. We know how hinata understands naruto (by others labeling him as a failure) but does naruto understand hinata? Naruto and sakura went through so much together, why should it all just end in close friendship?
No matter which big pairing it is right now, all have their problems present and need something to occur.
Narusaku- the only real problem is who loves who exactly, does naruto still love sakura, does sakura still love Sasuke? After 540 could she turn away from him after showing what she did in 630, could minato push into another position? What about naruto? We have reason to believe he still loves sakura after the land of iron having learned Sakura's reasons for what she did, he should not just not love her or not forgive her after discovering the reasons were mainly for him. It was en event that hurt them both. Not to mention naruto does not give up, if he gave up on sakura if anything, that would break his character, no to mention the very thing nh thrives on (hinata idolizes naruto cause he never gives up, if he gave up on sakura then this breaks nh for 2 reasons, how could naruto feel worthy of any girl if he could not do the one thing or gave up on what he promised one of his best friends? Also it would devsiate hinata, why would she be following someone who broke their own code? Some never stop to think of this. Basically with the current situation, it's just a matter of waiting to see what comes forward, ns has all the makings and development, now it's just a matter of waiting for the execution if it occurs or not. There are just too many loose ends that still need addressing.
Naruhina- though the feelings exist on hinatas side, the only problem really comes back to hinata herself, her lack of of screen time and the fact that this could have been built more if hinata was a more consistent character. Naruto himself as well, but even as late as 616, it's still not changed all that much. Basically, there was time to use this stuff more, mainly develop hinata more and not reduce her to minor roles or sudden moments in narutos defense. Hinata has been getting more screen time but its not going to erase her lack of consistency towards other major characters like gaara and shikamaru. When there was time in the past, Kishi could have used hinata, but he always chose naruto and sakura, not hinata. Anything forward just bringing new stuff to hinata or naruhina, though possible, would still make it look weaker as a result, especially now in the home stretch of things, it's going to be hard to relate with this considering, compared to others who we have a lot to relate with and understand, hinata is still limited greatly, her only correlation character is naruto himself, she also had neji but he died. If not for naruto, her time in the story would be done. She can still get development like being a leader and full of confidence, but it's just not going to erase the past, she was irrelevant basically from the point of neji getting beat by naruto to the pain event, 332 chapters of no big role. She had a minor role in the itachi pursuit, but that arc was focused on Sasuke and itachi, nothing really on team 7 or team 8.
Sasusaku- only exists as sakura likes him, but this can change, it all depends mainly on Sakura's development, but the whole ordeal just threatens 2 things, putting Sasuke ooc more than hashirama did and nullifying Sakura's development. There are just too many problems for this one. All I really see this one is no matter what, should be the friendship pairing. It's just everything that happened, including Sasuke being a jerk, are what caused naruto and naruto himself to better sakura. It should not simply be a I'm sorry guys then sakura goes to him again. Unless the story really wants to end on a weak note, this is the pairing to do it. Just after all the events, even the land of iron, I still would just barf if the while attempts on Sakura's life became nothing more than a simple misunderstanding or rough moment in their relationship. Nh can at east happen and I would at that point prefer sakura to be independent. SS occurring at all just makes this a glorified fanfiction. If you ask me, Sasuke is better as a lone wolf, he does not need any part in any romance anymore. Literally, sakura needs to mature, it's just in her best reasons to be a better character by at least getting over Sasuke. This one should end as friendship with her forgiving him by naruto and just staying what they were at the start, just regular friends. This didn't develop at much, it is way too late ever since Sasuke left, now it's time for this one to end if you ask me.
