It's because of Hinata I have no doubt in my mind Naruto won't end up with Sakura.
It's because of Tobi's twist in personality that I believe Kishimoto WOULD make us think Sakura was developing feelings of romantic love for Naruto, when really something different was going to happen.
When I look at that scene, I do think, yeah, Yamato was going to tell Sakura she loves Naruto.
But not in those words.
And not in that way.
Sakura can only do the dumbest things for Naruto, but it's because she does them because she cares for Naruto, is what counts. I do think Sakura loves Naruto, but not like she loves Sasuke. They're more like brother and sister to me.
And if you look at it,

... I'll leave you to think whatever you like of it.
Sakura may have been immature in the beginnig of Part I, I mean, she was only twelve. When we look at our society now and compare her to the children of today, you can see where people would start saying she was too immature to understand true love.
But the thing is, Sakura ISN'T like people in RL, so you CAN'T compare them.
Kids today like each other because the other is 'hot', 'it's the popular thing to do', or 'that person gives them buterflies in their stomach everytime they look at them'. And yeah, that might
have been Sakura. But as the story progresses, we see that is
not who Sakura
becomes.
Sakura comes to love Sasuke for who he is. Not because he's hot. And not because it's popular to have a boyfriend (Or to one-up Ino, in her case. Though this may have been a factor in the beginning. By the end of the second phase of the Chuunin exams, that rivalry is pretty much gone. And since Sakura no longer stands in Ino's shadow, it is no longer a valid reason for her to case after Sasuke).
That's why Sakura can not be put on the same level of 'immaturity' of the majority of kids who have crushes growing up.
Sakura may only be thirteen by the end of Part I, but her feelings are very mature. Much more than that of which she is often compared to. The type of love she holds for Sasuke does not just go away like those buterflies in your stomach. Her love for Sasuke, the REAL Sasuke, is the kind that holds the potential to last through all eternity, and cannot be easily lost.
And that's why I can continue supporting SasuSaku~
