So far Naruto has had a pretty sh**ty birthday, so I really hope him and Sakura getting together is his present. Because yeah, the OVA is where things seem to be heading, but because they won't be officially in Konoha with Sasuke, I wonder if Naruto will confess, before he releases all the people from IT.
Unless I am wrong, Kishi just created a scene this chapter when Sakura remembers Naruto stating he wasn't finished delivering his feelings. It was a flashback, but I don't think it ever happened in the manga before. Heck, it happened when they were kids, but the "you understand your opponent when you beat him up" only came up when they were genins, not when they were kids. So why would Kishi create a weird scene like that of kid Naruto mentioning his feelings, in front of Sakura ?
Granted, it was Naruto staing his feelings toward Sasuke, but it was the first time ever Sakura was shown thinking consciously about Naruto's feelings without being told by Sai or Yamato. Last time she thought about Naruto feelings was during he fake confession and Naruto refused it because she dismissed her feelings toward Sasuke at the time.
How she behaves next time she is in presence of Naruto and Sasuke will seal her fate, IMHO. We won't have to wait for the movie.
EDIT : nevermind. Just showing those sketches showed me Sakura's flashbacks were insignificant. Naruto and Sasuke will end their fight making the reconciliation sign and that will be the end of it. Sakura is not involved, unfortunately.
