It was exam week/month for me after all.

Sorry for the late reply. But, no worries! I researched very well.
Masashi Kishimoto [Naruto] Interview 2009
There is a thread here in H&E that explains more on this interview, but, feel free to speak about this interview in this thread here as well.
I would love to know what you think about this.
H&E Interview Thread of MK -- 2009
#You should thank Derock-kun for finding that golden nugget.
It was
very awesome of him to find the
REAL one. Usually, interviews that are floating around the Internet are fake.

I think that. maybe, after fulfilling all of his goals, Sasuke will finally settle down and restore his clan. But I don't think it will be in Konoha, because he doesn't consider it his home anymore. And since all of his fangirls live in Konoha, the only person that he could turn to is Karin to restore his clan. And by the way, I don't think that Sakura 'loves' Sasuke anymore, only cares about him.
I also thought of the exact same thing!
But, as Jenskott-kun had said before -- Sasuke had never elaborated on 'restoring' his clan. He only wanted to
avenge it. And, I think that they are two different things.
We aren't sure about the fact that maybe Sakura doesn't love Sasuke anymore, but, as a NaruSaku fan, I would have to agree with you!
For all I know, Sakura just wants Sasuke to return to Konoha, so the 'spirit' of Team 7 would maybe, just maybe, return to all of them, even to Sasuke.
She spent so much time with them anyway, and as a result, he cares for
both Naruto and Sasuke.
I forgot about Kakashi. But, she cares about him too. And his 'books'. :teehee:

Now about the NaruHina (Sorry but I don't like the pairing) I honistly think that Kishimoto-sama will keep it that way, beacuse since the beggining of the anime/manga, Hinata has had a crush for the blong nucklehead, and I don't think that will change -only if she, suddenly, loses affection for Naruto (which I don't think will happen) and confessed her feeling to him. The only way for NaruSaku to work out now is if Sakura confesses her true feelings for Naruto or if Naruto turns down Hinata -which won't be happening because he's too much of a softie.If none of those happen, then NaruSaku doesn't stand a chance
NaruHina as a one-sided pairing (like what Jenskott-kun said) ... for the rest of the series ... is what I believe in. As a NaruSaku fan, of course.
The only reason why Hinata liked Naruto was because he gave her the strength to move on, and smile, even if bad things start to surround you.
Naruto is the
important key for Hinata to grow up, mature, and become a better ninja ... and that is one of the things that Kishi-sensei is trying to show.
Hinata can't be a shy, weak ninja forever. She needs to grow up, so she can
protect her precious people. Without Naru-kun, she would have never reached that goal. Hinata sees Naruto as a role model, someone she needs to look up to, for her to stand strong and become a more independent woman.
This is for her development. The confession and the
almost suicide attempt to protect Naruto shows how much she would do to keep
her inspiration alive.
And besides, I support KibaHina as well, since they have always been together as a team for a longer time, and in my opinion, they have
more development than NaruHina, since Naruto is in another team, and Naruto is set on finding Sasuke & winning Sakura's heart.
Naruto and Hinata wouldn't even have talked for a few seconds, when Hinata would blush furiously, and in the end, faint.
That has happened, even after the time skip, and it shows that they have
absolutely no development whatsoever.
Even after the confession, they haven't talked even once, remember?
If there was a talk, I see Naruto rejecting her feelings
VERYVERYVERY gently. He loves Sakura so much, to even sacrifice his happiness for a promise, and then, he would suddenly switch to Hinata?
Kishi-sensei would have lost the themes that he worked so hard for, and that would seem very illogical.
I still believe that even though Sakura doesn't 'confess' yet, Naruto would still love her, and NaruSaku = Number 1!
NaruSaku has the
BIGGEST chance ever, and so, we shouldn't lose hope, alright?
Hold your horses. They'll get married soon. :teehee:

As usual, thank you very much, Jenskott-kun for having such a simple, yet strong post. I'll always look up to you!
You interpret the manga so well~

I hate the whole Sakura/Karin showdown idea. It totally degrades both characters to nothing but fangirls fighting over a guy. On a side note, alot of people still asume that she can't confront her feelings for Naruto and Sasuke, without a reuinion with Sasuke.
She has already met up with him once since time skip, no sparks, no magic, just an old friend who's power scared her. If she hasn't realized her own feelings already, then she certainly doesn't need to talk with Sasuke for it to happen. Sasuke plainly rejected her.
I can't help liking the Sakura/Karin showdown. It would be so cool. :teehee:
Just kidding.
But, you
definitely have a point.
SasuSaku for me, isn't a possibility as well.
Sasuke had
never show any feelings for Sakura, and
only cares for her as a comrade/teammate. Sakura, along with the rest of Team 7, had made him forget about revenge and vengeance, even for a little bit. That is why he has a soft side for them, and had come to treat them like ... a family.
Just my two cents.

New possibilities -- Right now, let's focus on the recent manga chapters ...
>
Naruto and Sakura's talk! -- Totally can't wait for this!
I hope the next chapter come soon!
>
Sasuke's attack on the Five Kages -- I see this as a
VERY EPIC battle, especially that we will see everyone's abilities, and I mean everyone!
>
Madara = Danzou = Shisui? What are their connections to each other? -- I'm definitely confused.
>
Kabutomaru ~~ Where are you? Sasuke misses you. :teehee:
>
Naruto (manga) -- Ending soon? So sad.

I hope everyone is satisfied with this post. If any of you have more questions, and would like to state your opinions/thoughts about this, you're more than
welcome to!
