I just think their to find things that can back up their pairing. Like you said, Sasuke and Sakura barely interact with each other to begin with, and when they do, it usually almost ended up with them trying to maim each other. We don't have that problem, since Naruto and Sakura are already so close to each other. On the other hand with Sasuke and Sakura, yeah, not so much...
It's not just that, it's just the priority has been shifted and when it comes to bond, it needs to be in present and need to have both parties in a comfortable state. There isn't. It doesn't help that we have that cool Team 7 teamwork, but no conclusion to its problem, which I mentioned in my review that it is a way of not resolving the problem but have them work together because of the situation. So I was fine with this, but with that said Sasuke still hasn't reveal his plan, which has "heel turn" written all over it. Therefore, nothing will be fixed until the end. So basically, we are witnessing not SS being together again, but what can break the camel's back. When want to reunite on good terms, you can do that, but it doesn't need to start at love. Just go what you think it's good enough. That's why I wrote that LAP in which I secretly said that SS has no chance. That's why I don't understand why we're in this war in the first place.
