@Fujoshi4everbecausewhynot I did a little digging and alas, it wasn't supposed to be canon. However, I did see a few (reliable) articles claiming that Kishimoto did actually consider it, but he tossed it away because he didn't really like the idea of any sort of romance in such a non-romantic anime, saying that it was "embarrasing to write". However, I do believe that if it wasn't a homosexual relationship, that it would've been canon. I'm not stating that Kishimoto was homophobic, of course, but lgbt relationships were not as normalized as they are now.
