Well, just because its not on manga, doesn't mean that its a invalid statement, that's pretty been the direction for Naruto in his relationship with Sakura for all of part 2. We don't use fillers as proof, but we do use them as a re-validating of everything that happens prior to the filler arc.
I mean, I'm not going to go around and say "oh but what about 235, and he still loves her and blah blah blah", but I will say that even if its not manga canon, those words, from 235, do reassure truth from the manga. He still loves her, unless I'm told otherwise, and he's still going to do whatever it takes for her to be happy the right way and his way and if the opportunity ever arises, you going damn to bet on it that he would love nothing more than to be in a romantic relationship with Sakura, with no BS and whatnot.
