Even though we know Kishi is going to make this canon, there's still some stuff to go through before it reaches that point, people are saying they could cover all this stuff in the end but I still think some of it needs to be cleared up now, its not really as simple as boy confesses loves and girl returns love.
Like I said Naruto has to confess his feelings for Sakura who despite listing all the reasons why she should love him (during the Fake Confession) doesn't and only sees him as a friend and comrade similar to how Naruto feels towards Hinata. Even though Yamato said over 300 chapters ago that Sakura loves Naruto, i'm starting to see less and less of what he's talking about. Not only does Sakura have to return those feelings but she also has to convince him that she's over Sasuke, something Naruto simply didn't believe last time because he appears to be under the impression that once your in love with someone that's it there's no going back otherwise you're just "lying to yourself"
This is why I hate the Fake Confession its a cluttered mess and pretty anti NS even after all that happened afterwards (Naruto saving Sakura and giving her hope again) she doesn't even consider him a love interest (the love fodder scene proves that) atleast she doesn't think she does according to the databooks.
The Fake Confession is confusing as hell because it goes from pro NS (sakura's confession) to anti NS and pro SS (Sakura was lying and loves Sasuke so much she can't bring herself to kill him) and then just fizzles out. Then the love fodder scene which is anti SS and yet not pro NS (it was more or less just her losing the hope Naruto gave her earlier)
I ahve no idea what to think of this whole mess its too confusing. 
Another reason why I sort of want hints that Sakura's developing feelings for Naruto right now, because at this point if listing all the reasons why she should like him (fake confession) and him being at death's door doesn't get her to realize or atleast contemplate her feelings for him then I don't care what Yamato says there's really nothing else Naruto can do at this point to get her like him.
Gosh! You badly want NaruSaku to happen right XD? As much as we all want that to happen I'll say keep patience my friend. I assure you the manga has many more things worth discussing than just NaruSaku. Don't overthink on this issue since its not going to change what the author has planned in his mind. Every aspect of the buildup will be elaborated later. Its my personal opinion and I don't know whether everyone shares this opinion of mine, but based on what I've seen, NH fans go on and on ranting about their pairing and over analysing things and picking out things which don't have any sense and NS fans are like all cool and calm because they have faith in their pairing and know it will be canon at the end because they know their ship very well. Its similar to empty vessels(NH fans) make more noise XD(sorry for offending anyone). Anyways, don't be like them,(not implying you are like that but you are just jumping to conclusions and want the manga go your way) be like a pro NS fan B). You can put your speculations about how things can turn up but don't jump to conclusions hastily. Wait and watch is all I've to say and you'll get your answers.
And yeah about Sakura not getting all emotional and all(your previous post days ago). The main reason is because she knows that crying and breaking her head over Naruto won't bring him back. So she has to think about what can be done inorder to save him and that's perfectly what has to be done in a dire situation like this. What's more precious than the one you love is putting aside even her own emotions and heck each and every person just because she can save you!
And about the confession, as you said it went from pro NS to anti NS to pro SS. I personally think the aspect of Sakura's confession will be brought under limelight again. Just wait and have a little patience. Having said all this if the manga does not end up with NS being canon it will simply be a bad writing on Kishi's part and he will practically violate all the principles that the manga supposedly held! I'm sorry if I have offended you in anyway but I did not mean it.
