As for RealNaruto not being able to follow Kaguya. I think it was a deliberate deception on his part to make her believe the real one had followed her. Even now the one she thinks is the RealNaruto may not be the real Naruto. It wouldn't be hard for him to control the black orbs and surround his clone making her believe it is the real one. Naruto is showing here he has developed more as a strategic fighter.
As for Obito, yeah I think it is all about him comparing Sakura to Rin. He won't fail in keeping Sakura safe like he failed with Rin.
As for Sasuke and Sakura. Was that last panel a romantic scene or was it just an indication that Sasuke has regained his previous attachment to his former team? I don't know and only time will tell. Since this is a shounen, I fully expect a stereotypical resolution to the shipping wars. Which is fine by me, after all there will always be fan fiction :)
As for Sakura herself, I was happy with her performance. She utilized her abilities in a way that made sense. Sasuke seems to be on his way to realizing that just because others are not as powerful as he is, they still have value. It will probably be Kakashi's turn to shine next. And we will get his touching scene with Obito, who will most definitely die soon, I think :) Obito has more lives than a cat but I think he used up his last one.
Good point re: the real Naruto. I hope you're right, as that will make for a more interesting fight.

It's both, IMO. As I said above, I don't think it's romantic in-universe. To the characters, it has more to do with building trust and teamwork, not romance, but the scene is designed to suggest romance to the readers through the visual imagery. As for the eventual outcome, I also expect a "stereotypical" resolution, but I think there are two ways it could go, based on other shonen series I've followed to the end. One route is that the main protagonist has a resolved pairing (often in a flash forward, and possibly with offspring) while other side pairings that were teased at are left ambiguous. The other route is basically the same, expect that at least one other side ship gets clear resolution as well (sometimes with offspring). As far as I've seen (in my admittedly limited experience), the first pattern is more common than the second, so I feel like NaruHina is a lock, but SasuSaku is more of an optimistic maybe at this point.
It will probably be Kakashi's turn to shine next.
I would enjoy that, but I doubt he'll get the chance. The younger generation is Kishimoto's focus, and Kakashi has, after all, lost his hack eye power that he's relied on for years. In the long run, that may mean that he won't have the chakra sink of a borrowed Sharingan, and may discover new levels of power he never knew he had. In the short run, though, I doubt he'll be much use in this battle. That said, I'd be happy to be proven wrong on this.
