While there are many things still on for NaruSaku, the path of unpredictability is still in play. Things can get really good in the story or really bad due to Sasuke.
-Mainly the thing we have no idea on what will happen is how others will act when Sasuke comes in, is he really back to being nice or is he just rough around the edges?
We need to see more with him, I mean he may have some loose ends with the Village he may need to consider, it can be an enemy of my enemy type thing for now but I would not expect him to just let go of all his hate I mean Naruto was a loving guy but still held some contempt for the villagers and had to overcome it. Madara or Obito could reopen his old wounds too. Its really given us no clue as to what to expect like will the whole group arrive at once? Maybe they will split up before arriving at the battlefield? Will they encounter the wounded kage? An encounter between Hashirama and Orchimaru towards a dying Tsunade?
-The ten tails still needs to mature, it just unleashed a weather-natural disaster technique so its going to mess up the alliance save our main heroes and cast, as peter griffin (as han solo) once said, "Yeah we have 3 or 4 of the main characters on this ship, I think we will be just fine."
-Kakashi and Obito is in a setting of its own, its the only thing we can see coming forward as of last chapter.
Only events we know are coming: Ten tails maturing, Sasuke and co coming to the battle, Kakashi vs. Obito, Hashirama vs. Madara (again), fate of Tsunade, Naruto meets up with Minato, the real reason for Kakashi killing Rin, and after a long series of events finally Naruto vs. Sasuke.
What may come: Naruto weakening, Sakura possibly helping Naruto, Tsunade's death, the 4 other kage returning, a powerup for Sakura?
It's just not only Sasuke's new attitude but also his group, how will others act and support them once they come to the field? Will Sasuke arrive later, let the kages go ahead and take his team for something else? There is so much that can happen its just again as I said, we are still in highly open waters and full of uncertainty. So much can happen I mean one thing that strikes me as strange is this: Kurama only had half his power sealed away, yet like all other chakra, he should also be following the chakra mechanics of the story, all chakra has frequencies, types, and can replenish itself in anyone merely by resting. Kurama should have been able to regenerate his missing half of chakra naturally even suppressed in Naruto. So if Minato's gift is half of Kurama's chakra, is it going to be an extra power boost to everyone? Will it put him at 150%? Or is Kurama really at just half power the whole time? It does not help when you have energy mechanics in a series like this and things can go off tagent with things made out of the stuff. I mean the tailed beasts are living masses of the stuff, not to mention they are flesh and blood too, how can they not regenerate their own energy even being made of the stuff in flesh?
Logic in this series is hard to come by at times.
No telling what will happen though but everything is green for the story and NS, just depends on what Sasuke does and others interact. If we are lucky maybe Karin will do us a favor.
New Sasuke can work, we just need to see more with him, hopefully it can take Tsunade, Naruto's own efforts, Sakura's own realization or even Sasuke himself to tell her to move on. Something to cause the shift and maturing over him and realize and accept Naruto, she can and she has proven she can be happy with him. Hell Minato can make a girlfriend joke or say Sakura reminds him of Kushina.
Everything is fine but the Sasuke stuff and this past chapter have literally made almost tens of thousands of ways you can see this going. Many can be good and many can be bad. Just hoping that whatever path this all goes keeps NS and the story on track, I mean remember Sakura can interact with new Sasuke long as she does not revert and still gets her proper development, long as it is okay to her character and does not do anything lazy like reverting her, making Sasuke in love with her or returning it to her, or making her return to Sasuke merely because she hoped for him, long as that negative trait (the ideal/selfish crush) of Sakura's does not suddenly become something important or a positive one, things can remain fine with her. Long as Sakura overcomes her ideal crush that is all that needs to happen with her, she can interact with new Sasuke, but long the aforementioned to not happen and she overcomes the crush and forgives Sasuke by means of Naruto or just chooses Naruto in the end, that is fine. She can even forgive him on her own, just don't do anything bad.
Simply put- Sakura can do a whole manner of things with new Sasuke, just no reverting and no placing Sasuke OOC, she can forgive him on her own choice or by Naruto but all she has to do is overcome the old crush and go to Naruto for full circle development, that is all Sakura needs to do. Its so simple and easy and all the elements for NaruSaku are still there. The story can proceed with NS happening in thousands of ways now. I have faith it will happen, just not sure how we will arrive there.
