Two of the translators here confirmed MS was the right translation, for once. (That's if the transcripts/Japanese blogs are true. It's present tense)
 

 
This is from the transcript/Japanese blogs. If you read further back in the thread, a few of the people who can translate said it was present tense/one posted the translation.

See you shouldn't say it like that because you just said that's if the Rae's of a blog is right, so no it's not confirmed

If we are lucky Kishi will use what brain he has left and just let Sakura die...

 

What its what everyone wants.

I don't want her to die, I want her to grow a damn spine and stop letting Sasuke walk all over her. It's pathetic to watch.

That Sakura will always love Sasuke(???)

[Michi]

We get it Kishi - Sasuke is POISON for Sakura…..

 

How many times is Kishi going to continue to shove it down our throats that Sasuke is nothing but toxic for Sakura and always will be. 

by how things are going... probably never. 

[MangaReader]

I think there is a reason Kishi made Sasuke put Sakura under a Genjutsu

It's from the transcript as well, not just a blog. Rikudo and a few others said it, I'm just bringing up what they said.

Clearly the face of a man who supports the almighty SasuSaku

Yup, it is the face of a broken hearted shipper. He just saw his ship sink right before his eyes!

[dragonflyx11]

sometimes i wish kishi would of just took the one piece route and say there would never be any pairings, sometimes i think that would of been so much easier. ive been here since 2006 an this pairing crap is just so broken an worse then bad fanfiction.

But it's the same with Naruto. His love for Sakura isn't explain too. You just don't need to explain your love for someone. You love him/her and that's it.

That's where we have to disagree. In the beginning Naruto had a crush on Sakura. Than when he pretended to be Sasuke to get a kiss from her he learned that she was just like him. He wanted acknowledgement from the village and her and she wanted acknowledgement from Sasuke. Than later on throughout the manga he began to admire her skills. For example the tree climbing exercise and when she healed Kankuro. All the while they were constantly spending time together.

 

Sakura started out with a crush on Sasuke and learned that he was a loner whose family died. But whenever she tried to get to know him he shot her down every single time. Than when she confessed to him he shot her down. Ignored her for the few times they met in part 2. Tried to kill her despite her telling him that she wanted to join him. And during the fight with Obito, Madara, Ten-tails, and later Kaguya insulted her skills. And now he again rejected her? Where is the romance? Where is the build-up? Where are the dates and the mutual interests and the caring for each other?

I just can't believe that kittening Kakashi supported and admired Sakura's "divine love" for Sasuke WTF Really ? What a great kittening Sensei you are Kakashi especially for Naruto  you gave so much f**cks about his feelings who was right in front of you       .

I realy cant believe either.this is starting to look like a laughable cheap pathetic parody.kishi is starting to get schyzophrenic(hope i spelled right) lately

YES. 

 

I want people to stop saying they are "DISGUSTED" by her. Kishi, STOP IT. stop kittening up your characters.

I'm telling you guys he knew all along that Sakura would still have feelings for Sasuke.

From a friend of mine. But yea I guess she's a fan.

Yes, because she was annoying him and he probably thought she wasn't worth killing, so the next option is to put her under a genjutsu.

[Michi]

oh Lord, PUUUUH-LEASE. 

 

it better also be a GOOD reason. 

[Kakashi-Sensei]

The only reason why is because Kishi dont want any distractions during the Naruto vs Sasuke fight dont look for something else....

[MangaReader]

oh Lord, PUUUUH-LEASE.

Kishi never has good reasons... I'm just thinking there no point of it if Naruto comes back with Sasuke and she just wakes up to see them being buddies

[TacticalFox88]

Am I the only one who seriously wants to know EXACTLY the reason WHY Sakura won't let go, especially considering her crush was superficial as all hell?! 

 

It literally makes no goddamn sense for her to long for this kitten head. 

[Broken Figurine]

I don't feel angry with Sakura, because this goes beyond her character. This is a flaw of every character, and every aspect of this plot that in a weird way Kishimoto is acknowledging and lampshading? "I don't understand what she sees in me," is pretty much the most accurate description of this whole thing. Except, replace "she" with team 7. Sakura's main fault here is that she's a victim of the plot like anyone else--the plot around Sasuke. She needs to have these intense emotions she can't let go of, in order to make it so that she can forgive Sasuke.

 

I don't forget that Sakura had shown wavering faith in Sasuke. I don't forget that she attempted to kill him herself because it seemed the right thing to do. I don't forget that she isn't happy and complicit about the action Sasuke has taken. I don't forget that she's so different from Karin, who sexualizes him and goes back to his side on the basis of an apology. Sakura is fighting to get Sasuke back on the right path--and she feels sad that he's turned into what he is now. She is still one of the best characters for me. I don't regret being a Sakura fan because I know who she is and who she has been from this point. 

 

It's "not Sakura's fault" because it's not as if the writing had been leading up to this point. It is the fault of the author for going against what has been established in order to fulfill some sort of goal for Sasuke. Everyone therefore is at fault--Naruto, Kakashi, Karin, Orochimaru, Itachi, the Sage, anyone who's ever contributed a word to this ridiculous notion that the unsubstantiated feelings toward Sasuke are worth anything. The reincarnation, the arguments about "love and hatred", the attempts at drawing strange parallels, it's all rather ridiculous.

 

To quote Sakura, "I'm pretty tired from it all,". The reason I had more hopes for Sakura was because she was in the dissenting party. Her 'uneasy smile' still burns in my mind. I hope this genjutsu gives her an moment to finally work past this and reason out this toxic relationship. As to not saying anything to Naruto--it's not like Sasuke gave her a chance. Also, Sasuke is the problematic one. The reason why Naruto has to fight in the first place is because of Sasuke and his stupid ideas for becoming hokage. It makes sense to address him in an attempt to stop him... though she should have known better. "If you have any feeling in your heart for me you would do this" well guess what, he didn't do it. 

 

Even if NaruSaku doesn't happen, I think all of us here know it's not because it wasn't the logical conclusion. It's not because the manga did not support it and we were blind. We'll know it's because the writing did not follow through. Because for some reason, Kishimoto favoured Sasuke above Naruto and Sakura. It's why these characters are the victims of stunted or even regressed development; because Sasuke has to be loved.
