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

Good point re: the real Naruto. I hope you're right, as that will make for a more interesting fight.
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? 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

(When did he start manifesting those, anyway? After meeting with the Sage? Has he actually used them yet?)
I think he did start manifesting those after meeting with the Sage. He flattened one of them out to make a platform for Sasuke to stand on when Kaguya sent them all to the lava dimension.
I think the manga will end with SakuSasu and HinaNaru, meaning that both girls get whom they want. That Sasuke now responds to Sakura means that the end of the story is drawing near.
Edit: Also I wonder about the big announcement. I see three possibilities: 1. That the manga will end soon. 2. That the manga will last for another fifteen years. 3. Sasuke declares his love for Sakura.
