I am afraid to go and answer that for him/her because I am afraid I am going to get caught-in analyzing the whole manga. There's too much info I have stored in the past few days and it will be never-ending, but what I can say, all things point to NS.
Maga, story structure, shonen concept - like it or not, psychological studies, facial expressions, mythology, author intention with Road to Ninja, every damn thing!
Whoever doubts NS is either in denial, sorry, really sorry to call it, or it's either, dunno. Not to how should I say it? Confident enough? I don't wanna sound to off but it's the truth. Gah, I am sounding again, overly confident and full of myself.
Sorry for that!
Well the only thing we can count is the manga but thats where it counts, many things are still NaruSaku developed. As I said before though, Sakura will have some big moment or speech to Naruto, if not this arc then the Naruto vs Sasuke arc. They are going to fight, Sakura is going to be concerned.
Also at
Darkrest I wouldn't say Kishi just closed off so many routes to NS, I mean there are still hundreds of ways it can come. Given the position of the manga for now, we really don't know what will come given the battlefield and the power it just unleashed, all we know is the kages coming and the kakashi vs obito fight, even then Sasuke may take a detour for something else if he does not go right to the battlefield. Its just in a state of things can become good of just sink and the story can become messed up. For now the story is intact and NS is green but its just an unknown route for now.
Also for anyone worrying if we get a scene like Sakura being in trouble and Sasuke suddenly saves her, I woundn't absolutely panic about SS, I mean remember, the fight between Naruto and Sasuke could almost be an ace in the hole for NS. Plus Hinata has no role or purpose in this area, this is a territory we cannot lose, Hinata is practically barred from this.
