So much. But apparently women cannot function if they have no boyfriend. 
Had I been the girl I would have kneed him in the nads so hard he'd spit them out. 
He even wanted her to bark, and when he jokingly told her he'd buy her a dog-collar for christmas, she said 'ok, whatever you want to buy me will make me happy.'
EXCUSE ME, BUT WTF?!?!!?? 
On plot and logic of a typical manga? Yes, definitely, it was the logical path to follow in canon. In fanon people (and tards) can do whatever the hell they want, but in canon, NS was what should have happened.
I personally ship it because out of all the others it was what I'd would have preferred my relationship to be like if I were in Sakura's place, a light, funny relationship based on mutual respect and that has as bases a very strong friendship. But then we got Sauce who's never home and left Sakura to dust and look after their daughter and NH with a stalker-like, obsessed I-dont-care-about-anythingbut-Nardo-kon psycho for a wife and 'the worst scumbag I-liked-you-only-for-rivalry-with-the-Sauce' husband. 

Yes, the fact that NS is the only healthy relationship is a big factor, too.
I have to ask...and I know I won't get an answer...but did nobody in SP or Kishimoto's studio say anything about how the ending makes no sense? You mean to tell me that not one of these guys look at this panels and said "Wait....how does this work? I don't understand." Not one had the smarts to say "You know, Kishimoto-sensei, this won't fly. The reasoning makes no sense?"
Im sorry, but even though I am 27, going on 28, why do I feel adults only get dumber and more cynical rather than actually making grown-up thoughts? I hope I don't end up like that.
Adults get more cynical because they realize people are mostly awful.
Also, that LAP about Sakura and SS from a few pages back was on point.
