@Konan: Huh? Funny, all these new info tells me otherwise. If you ask me, the last comment from Sakura was a great way to end for her friendship with Naruto. It's a big nudge that she is in love with him, but time will tell when they become a couple.
Edit: I mean yes, NS is not the main focus but you can say it's a sub plot to this. Much like Sakura's situation. Her main desire is to have no parents. Sasuke was like a bonus deal. Turns out both of them were harmful to her. So what we get in the end is that she learns that having a family is a blessing and shouldn't be selfish. The bonus is that she understands Naruto in terms of loneliness and apologized him for it; in fact, she considered the adventure a date, as showing that she's deeply taking interest in Naruto, because he was always there for her.
Damn you're fast.
