About Sakura's death, even thou her name would be associated with death there are 2 foreshadowing elements that can trigger her death.
1. Obito will try to kill her and blame it on the shinobi system
2. She could try to pull off the same thing Chyio did with Gaara.
Temporary or not her death should have a bigger impact on the story. Also irony makes it that there are 2 girls that owe her their lives. Hinata and Karin.
Not sure if she will die but right now she is in mortal danger
agree, just like I said, sakura is the key for obito redemption.
kakashi confirm that naruto is obito parallel, then who is rin of team seven?
all of us agree that sakura is rin parallel, so if she get mortal wound, we can see naruto reaction.
would naruto succumb like obito and embrace darkness or he say his "never give up" and magic happen and sakura somehow save while obito get tnj.
for me it's a perfect scenario.
