So, I've been thinking about the 'last NS moment in the manga' or the one that confirms NS is officially canon. This is just what I'd like to have happen, but I know it won't (unless Kishimoto runs across this post somehow and thinks it's a good idea lol)
Naruto: *Preparing for the fight against Sasuke by stocking up on weapons and other things*
Sakura: *enters tent* So...you're really going to fight against him?
Naruto: *Thinks in silence for a moment* It's something I have to do, Sakura-chan, he can be saved, I know it!
Sakura: But this will be different from the last time! You two have gotten so much stronger since then, and there's a chance you two could end up killing each other!
Naruto: ...It's a chance I'll have to take. How can I become hokage...if I can't even save my best friend?
Sakura: *Tear rolls down cheek* You won't become hokage if you're dead...
Naruto: *nods* I know...but like I said...I have to try.
Sakura: Why do you have to try?! Naruto, you've proven to the whole world you're as good as anyone to be hokage! No, even better than anyone else! Just...just let Sasuke go! Is your life long dream really worth risking over him?
Naruto: Yes...because I believe he is still good deep down inside. Why? Are you saying you don't want him back?
Sakura: I'm saying I don't want to lose you to him! I've nearly lost you twice now, and I don't want the third time to be what finishes you! Just please...stay here...
Naruto: *thinks for a few seconds* But I thought you wanted team 7 to be together again...just as much as I did.
Sakura: Not if it means losing you!
Naruto: *thinks again* Are you...are you saying you...
Sakura: *Nods* I love you. And I mean it this time! But if you have to go...just promise me you'll come back to me...alive. I'll never forgive you if you come back dead.
Naruto: ...I guess I don't have much of a choice then. All right...I promise I'll come back...alive....and with Sasuke.
Sakura: *smiles softly and holds Naruto's hand as he leaves the tent* Don't forget...you made me a promise...
Naruto: *leaves tent and heads to the battlefield*
That's just what I'd like to see, but I know it's not going to happen :(
