Just curious, are you guys worried about the possibility of Sakura's death? I thought she was likely to die for awhile now and recently all the big YouTube reviewers (Sawyer, KOL, etc) are seeing death flags. There's always the chance she could sacrifice herself or be killed by Madara. Apparently Kishimoto said there would be 2 major deaths among the Konoha nins...
I hope not though, I can't handle anymore of my favorite characters dying. 
Although I was upset earlier I can finally say this chapter was truly amazing! It even brought me back to this site.
Madara's transformation was fantastic, I have no idea how the alliance can defeat him now.
Sakura and Karin blew me away! Kishimoto really outdid himself here although there's some plot issues with Karin I don't care she's still a BAMF!
That was the most intense and extreme CPR I've ever seen like dang you go Sakura. 
And I just want someone to save Sasuke already! 
Karin, Sakura, Kabuto???? Anybody?
Was there ever any proof of Kishi saying there would be 2 character deaths? I never heard this, really I wouldn't be suprised if it's just sakura haters taking advantage and hoping she gets conveniently removed. Really swayers arguement for it is nothing short of I want nh I don't care about sakura, literally he is the type of fan that doesn't care about the story, he just wants nh for the blindest of reasons because he likes hinata more. Seriously if there's some heartfelt dialogue between sakura and minato and minato entrusts her with naruto, I seriously hope the hinata ego and hype just dies, I mean it's seriously been going in too far for too long, she's a minor character not much in the story overall.
As I said before, if sakura died for good we get this problem:
Why bother with the Kushina foreshadow and put it on sakura, why keep naruto loving her when he could have convinently switched to hinata after 469, why as things are would he get rid of sakura who is a highly invested character just to give an open hole to hinata who is hardly used. What about team 7? It's not as good if hinata is there in place of sakura, even in the final battle, sakura knows the stuff naruto went through regarding Sasuke, not hinata. It just doesn't make sense with her as the main female there. Sakura is the heroine has been the love interest for so long and is one of narutos goals, again why should naruto fail and succeed in everything else but again his generation doesn't succeed? Ns is the only relation with emphasis on similarities to mk, jiraya tsunade, and obito rin. Mainly the mk one has been the stand out one. So why just dump this all for nh? Literally that's what some fans are asking, for Kishi to just dump everything for ns and make it nh, even at this point when she hasn't don't much. It would just again make hinata such a convinent token character and really this would be Sakura's long purpose in the series rather than growing up and realizing what's important, started as a girl who could not understand men just ends up being a convenient 1 up for naruto and opening nh. Really I am suprised how many fans, even nh fans don't realize this, this would not only harm Sakura's overall character value, it would bring down hinatas so much, it would only make nh happen because she hoped for it, there's nothing appealing about a relationship developed out of merely hoping and hardly any development, I mean in ns we had all the dynamics, the changes, Sakura's change from hating to caring so much for him is one of the most dynamic and shifted in the series, and fans want this to end? Really saying sakura will die for naruto is the same way how people expect nh and SS to occur at the same time, naruto succeeds in everything BUT getting the girl he originally sought sakura is dead, don't let her end development be in part knowing real love from idealistic love which hinata STILL practically shows. I said it before, this happening is like a giant middle finger right to naruto, never mind the heroes efforts, his priorities override all, never mind his merits, it would be such a shortcoming just for sakura to finally love him before she dies, that's just so pointless it's like even if sakura died, her end would still make her the better character than hinata and still leave hinata as an underdeveloped practically rushed character in the remaining time frame of the story considering the remaining elements she has hardly any correlation with. But that's it, it makes no sense for sakura to go. It's not bound to happen but it's just why are fans this hateful on sakura? Do they really want her dead that much?
As for sakura dying only to be revived as many said:
It's been said many many times, she doesn't know chiyos jutsu,seriously this theory is deadpooled, no one but Chiyo knew it, she died with the knowledge of the technique. It's not going to happen, it's never going to happen. Chiyo is the only one who had it and she is dead, its gone, this theory should die and be lost to the wind like that technique, Chiyo is dead The technique is dead.
Others are going on about with the minato needing a sacrifice for his jutsu to be used, if a human one is needed,they say sakura, and we know the reasons if it was a premadeath it would be bad for the story. If it was a temporary death though, rather what's the point? What would honestly be the point of her dying so she is revived like 10 or so chapters later? This dual revival would just waste panel time in the long run, yes obito as long as he is alive if he used rinne tensei on her it has some aspects of breaking that cycle of the teams like team 7 and misfortunes of losing others, giving naruto a chance obito himself lost with rin, keeping him on the right path. No rather why not obito use his last action to revive naruto if a sacrifice was needed? He is dying and he planned on it anyways. There's more purpose and significance if as a former villian who was narutos opposite as his last act gives his life for naruto, his act of redemption. That makes more sense then dragging out with sakura going only to be revived later.
Finally others think Madara will kill her, i doubt it, Sakura's been up this whole time, a main character let alone the heroine doesn't get blown off because of something so sudden. Why would Madara even be concerned with her at this point? It just doesn't make sense in the long run, madaras the type of villian who humors his opponents letting them think they are doing better only until he gets bored and releases more power. He would most likely wait until naruto and Sasuke were healed before the fight ended. I mean Kishi can even throw in a situation in which madara cannot launch the eye of the moon plan until he has yin kurama as he wants to be perfect. He is 2 items short of that, his left eye and dark kurama. Madara if anything may not know minato is carrying dark kurama because he was dead when minato divided kuramas chakra. Madara never knew of this, nor did anyone else save well kurama himself, jiraya, and the few toads he worked with. Minatos action in the past is the only thing now that will both save naruto and prevent Madara from just launching the infinite genjutsu.
But in the long run seriously I have seen hope after hope from other fans that sakura will die, seriously it's a posion I hope just vanishes after all this. It's just very very unlikely to happen, not that it's not possible, rather it's story reasons like this that just make so many foreseeable issues, I mean would nh fans really want nh to come true only because sakura dies and hinata merely gets it by convienent, nothing like development or changing feelings Kishi could have given naruto these past few years but hasn't, instead we have naruto still loving sakura, seriously this is just why each chapter we get with more ns stuff, I hope these theories of sakura dying in some way or for naruto can just in turn die themselves. Naruto is the hero, his efforts need to end in something, if the heroine is not even alive in the end despite those efforts, that's just a repeat of many other generations we have seen in the story and naruto just fell prey to it like the others rather than breaking that cycle and succeeding in his goals, people expect only 2 goals for naruto it seems, Sasuke and hokage, not 3 which includes sakura. Team 7 doesn't really have a happy ending if sakura dies now does it? It's not team 7 if they are not all alive and able to laugh again.
I just cannot see why people want sakura to die, there's too much story wise that would be uprooted if she did. Her role is important weather they like it or not. Sakura not in the ending of the series no matter the pairings just feels, alien and unnatural. We all expect team 7 in the end, this means naruto, sakura, and Sasuke at least. Without the 3 of them at least, it just feels so wrong and I cannot imagine an ending with hinata in place of sakura with naruto and Sasuke, hinata never even correlated with Sasuke and it's just such a horrid sight in my mind, it feels wrong like if Madara suddenly went good, it would feel so unnatural and just out of place. Hinata isn't part of team 7, it's naruto, sakura, and Sasuke, team 7 the 3 we saw in the start who made the team. No one else expect Kakashi as their sensei should be there with the 3 of them, Kakashi may go or not, but that's another story. I cannot imagine any other ending to naruto with at least naruto, sakura and Sasuke doing what naruto said, " a future where the 3 of them are laughing together again." Hinata is not included in those 3 nor is Sakura's death as many have hoped.

what you say totally makes sense , i'm in between that's Karin with Taka or Kabuto cus he's the only medic left and that's what Sasuke needs now and cus of that last sentence "a suspicious shadow approaches Sasuke " i think that's why so many thinks that it's him , but who knows ? .
