Exactly my thoughts, but as far as I have come to know kishi, Naruto will somehow magically forget that sakura confessed to sasuke and he will confess or accept the sudden appearance of love feelings of sakura.
I really liked how naruto rejected sakura in LOI, because he really deserves better than false confession or being a second guy. But in the end he will become a second guy Thanks to kishi's sh*tty romance handling.
NaruSaku has always been a bit of a rebound romance.
I know that most would considere it negative, but I like that sort of thing personally.
Fakir x Ahiru anyone ?
And that one het canon ship in gravitation...
And many other I don't remember at this point.
