Ok people, time to move next issue, for now we can't do more than expecting that somehow hinata's still alive, if not we just know for sure that with this, kishi wants to give an end to all romantic relationship towards naruto, and sorry, naruto and sakura is too obvius to happen (know from now that I was a narunobody fan, my wish was that he ends the series jiraya style, with a lot of girls and nobody exclusively) - Now, after watching recent episode, I've changed my mind and think Hinata trully decerves him. More than that, Pain is honoring his name and he's creating pain everywhere, both on manga universe and outside it.
Next issue we'll know for sure about hinata death: gai and his team reaches the arena and somehow neji or any other hyuuga arround there will do something to save hinata/hinata's body from the six tails rampage, because this is their duty.
Six tail will begin the attack or we'll be shown naruto in front of kyuubi's cage and there he'll need to take the most difficult decision of his whole life, perhaps he and kyuubi finally agree to work togheter.
Danzou will make his move soon, but not until pein is eliminated for sure, but this will only increase the mess furtermore and I fear for the whole konoha good guys.
Perhaps, if hinata is death, we'll see a monologue on her inner self, something like "sorry for not being able to do anything more for you naruto..." and them passing out. There I believe someone will tell once for all: "she's still alive" or "she's dead". But what I fear most about this is that kishi, confirmed her death, don't mind to kill any character, even amongst the rookie 9, that we tough to be the future of the ninja world.
Peace.
