IMO: If NaruSaku is Fated to happen then i consider it canon even though it hasn't happened yet.
Do you believe that they have to officially declare there love/relationship to everyone for it to become canon?
I hope you understand what i'm trying to say.
I understand. I just think Obito's parallel will be play and it won't hurt Kishi as to say he made NS canon from there. The point is that doing the parallel won't hurt at all.
Naruto and Sakura didn't happen to stumble across each other and fall in love. They started off tense, got to know each other, became friends, and started to care more about each other. In Naruto's case, she loved/liked her throughout that progression, and in Sakura's case, she is slowly falling for Naruto through it. That is much better than "We're soul mates, we're destined to be together!"
That's something as silly as some NH fans saying Naruto was destined to be with Hinata because there was a cover with her on it and Naruto in the background before Naruto actually became a series.
Naruto and Sakura were meant to be from an a author perspective, sure. But we don't know that, we can only go by what's in the manga, and only absolutes really matter.
Good point. I guess that's why I like this pairing more than I usually remember.
