I mean, I don't think she is, but I'm still scared Kishi suddenly pulls a Star Wars. Especially after seeing Kushina beeing and looking a lot like Sakura.
EDIT: Although, I just remember - we saw Sakuras mother once already, right?... or at least heard her voice... ? (..could be a stepmother though... or something...)

I don't think she can be. Tsunade is the granddaughter of the first and grandniece of the second. So if Kushina was a direct descendant, she would have to be Tsunade's daughter. And it can't be that only the Senju clan can control bijou because all of the other countries have found ways to control and contain their tailed beasts. Unless Konoha pimps out the Senju clan to other villages.

Actually red is a primary color so it can't be created by mixing two colors!

Which will likely be Naruto and Sakura's daughter's hair color

check the litterbox thread for a description of them.
and the NaruSaku sibling argument was disproven long ago. both are the same age and separated by 6 months or so. neither could possibly be blood related.
As to the whole Naruto said he liked people like Hinata argument. thats all he said. he said "" I like people like you."" he could easilly have been refering to Lee or other hard working losers as her.
in chapter 3 he introduced Sakura like this. ""Sakura Haruno, A girl im kinda interested in."" he introudced her by name and stated a directed interest in her. Also after the tree climbing exercise, He stated "" Thats the girl of my dreams"" Also he stated at the bench scene. I understand why I like Sakura chan. thus naming her by name and that he likes her specifically.

That would be the lamest and most awful writing choice in the history of any manga. Thank god I know that will never happen

And then pulls a Ronmione or a Harrinny and sticks random characters together for no reason.

Huh? Are you saying you didn't see Ron/Mione and Herrry/Ginny pairing? This pairing was Cannon since the train ride first year. Those who saw a Harry/Mione pairing were obviously delusional, seeing a pairing that was obviously one of two siblings.
The Sakura, and Naruto being siblings makes no sense for a few simple reason, first Kushina obviously loves Naruto more than her own life, so why would she abandon him and have another child? Second why would the Hokage seperate the two if Sakura was the older sibling? and the most obvious one, Sakura is either 5 1/2 months younger or 6 1/2 month older than Naruto, so Kushina would have to be pregnant strainght after she gave birth which is highly unlikely, and NAruto/Sakura (whoever is younger) would be a few months premature?
Also seeing more panels in this weeks Manga, it's obvious take away the eyes and hair and Naruto looks just like his mother and Sakura and Naruto definitely do not look alike.
As for Kushina being related to the Senju, I'm not going to discount that theory completely, because we all know the Second Hokage was weary of the Uchiha and feared they would betray they village so it's not completely out of the realm of possability that his wife and kids were from a neighbouring village, or moved after his death to protect themselves from his enemies, and with him dying away on mission, he might not have had a chance to tell anyone of his family, plus I like the idea of the centuries old battle within two rival clans end with the two clans and not with one side clan and the other side with a ninja who lives by the clans ideals.

No, Sakura knows Naruto is her soulmate.
Actually, I had both the pannels from 450 and the Sauske save on the first attachment, but because of my lack of computer skills it's hard to see.
My thought is that 450 was a spontaneous affectionate embrace that pretty much confirmed the growing NaruSaku relationship to outside observers, but both Sakura and Naruto may not have recognized it as such. Naruto was probably too exhausted and stunned to think clearly about what it meant, and we have never seen Sakura's interpretation.
I think that the pannel of Sakura looking up at Naruto (484), having just been saved from death, is more a look of astonishment than affection. She had just intentionally tried to weaken her bonds with him (having anticipated the outcome of the confession) to attempt to kill the person he sees as his best friend (although she did so for the right reasons... to protect Naruto and rid the world of a dangerous criminal). The fact that Naruto arrived on the scene meant that he was aware of all of this and yet still came to save her. A definitive building block for sure, but I am not convinced that it was the final piece of the NaruSaku puzzle.
I think that a key point of the current chapter, and why Sakura's confession seemed forced in 469, is that, while Sakura has come to know and care a great deal for the real Naruto, she still hasn't had the same moment of connection with him like Kushina had with Minato. She listed off logical reasons why she should love him, but love has nothing to do with logic. Sauske's words, "you still haven't seen him" are slowly melting away. As the story has progressed, the real Naruto has been revealed to her little by little. However, the specter of Sauske will loom in her mind because of that seemingly insignificant moment that she made that "connection" with "him" (Naruto henged). That's why I think that the moment of revelation or realization is still coming, and, knowing Kishimoto's writing style, it will be epic and uplifting (unlike Sai and Sakura's conversation). On the other hand, I do think that Naruto knows Sakura is his soulmate, and the latest interaction with his mother will probably only deepen that conviction. His obstacle, as I see it, will be accepting that Sakura's feelings for him have evolved and that the person that she thought Sauske was has been him all along.
What I really found interesting about the current chapter were the similarities between Naruto getting clocked on the head by Sakura (450) and Kushina leading to unexpected embraces... Sakura=>Naruto and Naruto=>Kushina.
My final thought on this is that the theory that Naruto and Sakura are brother and sister is essentially dead. Unless Kushina rocks our world in the next chapter there is is too much evidence to the contrary. If she says nothing and the story continues, that would mean that Naruto has been close to the sister he has never known throughout his childhood, and neither his father (whom has the confirmed ability to see events through Naruto's eyes) nor his mother even mentioned her in their only meetings. Also, if they were twins, Sakura's birthday as we know it would have to be false. Finally, Sakura's charkra related abiliities are precise control and genjutsu, neither of which have been specified as qualities possessed by Minato and Kushina (although we don't know much about them... presumably Minato had a large amount of chakra to perform the Rasengan, summon Gambunta, and use a space/time ninjutsu; and Kushina has a special chakra that gives her some resistance to and control over the tailed beasts' chakra).

But it was an ownsome chapter. I could totally relate to Naruto meeting his mom for the first time--it made me cry for a while and gawk at him hugging her (I'm such a sap).
I love how much more understanding and bold she is in comparison to Minato. Yes, he did apologize for everything...well, after Naruto punched him in the gut. But after that he was sorta like, "Be strong, I believe in you, kthx bye." Then, being the mom, Kushina wants to sit down and have a looooong talk with her son

Kishi must know his mom really well...he just captured that moment!

She would have rejected him. Remember at the time she was still infatuated with Sasuke, so it wouldn't matter that the uncool kid would have said that, since her mentality was basically fangirlish. She would have rejected him, and he would have had his heart broken, thus destroying our pairing.

Assuming he would have gotten to speak to her, her reaciton would have been quite different from what people think. What she wanted from Sasuke was acknowledgment.
for Naruto to speak that daydream as himself would quite frankly have thrown her for a serious curveball.
at the time she was under the misconception that he didnt understand her at all. for him to stand there and say what she was daydreaming would have stunned her.
its safe to say also given Kushinas statement about what minato said about what she viewed as her worst feature, that for naruto to say such a compliment to her would have been a powerful moment.
now im not saying she would have jumped right into his arms or anything. but she would have almost certianly began to look at him differently and a conversation could have ensued similar to what occured in canon.
