After getting trolled with Tobi's identity I am not going to consider anything as cannon atm if it happens it will be awesome but considering the screen time, co-ordination and development Naruto-Sakura had Naruto-Hinata is pale in comparison to it. So lets hope most of the fan base is happy since its impossible that all the fans would be happy with the pairings.
Seriously, when was the last time the most important villain in the story ended up being some random nobody who had little to no plot significance. Obito made the most sense since we knew more about him than any of the other candidates.
its silly people cant see the comparison between kushina and sakura. even if narusaku possibly dead, its obvious they are modeled after one another...i mean they coloring (hair similar color, sakura has green eyes, kushi dress is green, sakura wears red, kush hair is red) similar personality (both are tsundere types and seemingly hopeless romantics lol) they have the same word studder thing (dattebayo, dattebane, channaro(read that this was a special word thing to sakura only)). that alone makes them much more alike than hinata, who is sweet, shy, soft spoken, and wouldnt hit a fly little on her own son or lover. hinata isnt like minato either...so dont give me that crap lol. minato had the dream to become hokage, was soft spoken but not shy with the dream to become hokage, genius at a young age, trained by a sannin. The only possible similarities between hina and minakush is that hinata has long hair like kushina and she stalked naruto like minato was seeing following kushina.
This is what i have seen, sakura being like kushina doesnt necessarily mean narusaku should happen; im just saying that idc what people say hinata isnt like either of those characters. im a sakura fan but idk where kishi is going with this pairing stuff after the latest chapters and the latest movie (which he did write, so it holds more value than anime but not the value the manga has). We just need to wait and see what happens because ill admit..i dont wanna be trolled just like a naruhina fan mentioned earlier.
Sakura and Kushina have small things in common. They both beat up people and hit naruto. Nothing else. Hinata isnt like kushina attitude wise thats obvious and thats kushina's bad traits, that sakura has.......!! Hinata and Kushina are alike when it comes to naruto and the ones they love.And Hinata fits Minato attitude wise, both are humble,quiet and very nice. They dont just beat up people for little things. You seem to regard the fact that Hinata can fit Kushina's advice because the last thing a loving mother would say is find a chick that has my bad traits. If that was her intention....then i just got f*cked in my ass. Plus we all know minakush is a yin-yang thang. Kushina is the opposite of minato and minato is the opposite of kushina....naruto resembles his mother and we need that minato and sakura doesnt fit him at all. And seeing that kishi loves parralles and said one pairing will happen then.....So dont give me that crap.
no offense but i completely disagree with you on that. sakura and kushina could be sisters literally....and what is this thing with kushina's bad traits? where do people get the whole "kushina is trying to say to pick someone whose like her with her love for naruto and those traits similar to sakura arent what shes talking about".. regardless of how we interpret (we can agree to disagree) what kushina said to naruto....she does say specifically "try not to pick a weird one, pick someone like your mother" sounds pretty damn close to saying pick someone like mom and not a weird one, personality wise. trying to convert this into "make sure and pick someone who doesnt exhibit the bad traits naruhina fans associate with sakura and sakura alone" just isnt gonna happen. kishi foreshadows alot of stuff and if this conversation is in anyway foreshadowing naruhina...then argue that the "try" is the key word for this convo ..."TRY not to pick a weird one seems to me like the argument naruhina fans would pick at...i mean that could easily be a kishi made hint because it could foreshadow that naruto will indeed fall for the "weird" one that isnt like his mother (whose obviously sakura).
naruhina has obviously sense then, gained some development that shows the potential for a pairing later and i cannot deny that despite wanting too....but as far as the kushina/sakura/hinata/minato/naruto parallels and such narusaku top the cake over naruhina and hinata isnt like kushina or minato.
The strong points that lean towards naruhina would be for me:
-the fact her name means towards the sun and naruto has a sun shape seal and he is also considered a "sun" of sorts.
-she has no other relevance in the manga other than her obsession with naruto
-her entire character and being was built off naruto
-she has confessed her love (though naruto hasnt completely addressed this)
-shes risked her life twice (first time stupidly and selfishly, second time very admirably...poor neji though) and neji's words obviously could have powerful meaning in a pairing sense or just a motivation way.
narusaku points:
chapter 3-at least 570ish is nothing but about the bond between naruto, sakura, and sasuke. naruto and sakura hold onto their bond with sasuke but in turn their relationship, especially from sakura's aspect has changed. whether this truly is romantic now or strictly admiration is still up in the air...but there is no denying sakura has developed feelings for naruto even if it doesnt result a pairing.
- his last interaction with her was saving her first and making sure she was ok, he refers to her as sakura-chan as always.
-theres constant moments between the two where naruto admires sakura and she admires naruto and they have a fun and flirty friendship going that is more entertaining. she is only rough with naruto in the anime, not the manga (in part 2 at least) and the things yamato said to sakura about her feelings and the convo between naruto and sai didnt happen that long ago and they do hold major relevance, even if we dont know how.
anyways its sad i wrote this much, these pairing wars are wearing.....

Honestly, I find Kushina's comments to be the standard ramblings of a mother. As if Kushina would see Sakura or Hinata and say: "You're not me, I don't want my son to be happy with you or you happy with him!"
It's a general sentiment that she was wanting someone who would support Naruto and be strong for him. I'm not sure "weird" is the best translation for what Kushina said (but I don't really know the Japanese context, either - so it's merely a suspicion on my part).
That said - Sakura and Kushina are not all that similar. They have some similar reactions - but that's about it. Kushina has far more in common with Naruto than with Sakura (from upbringing to verbal tics). Tsunade and Sakura share more in common than Kushina and Sakura.

Honestly, NaruSaku doesn't resemble MinaKushi at all. Naruto resembles Minato in that he has the Rasengan and blonde hair. That's about it. Sakura and Kushina have some outward similarities - such as a notable temper (which in Sakura's case - seems to be more focused at Naruto, rather than Kushina's as a whole) and a couple chapters where the two are shown to have the same pose (which is not unique to Naruto, I might add, and is typically shown in other manga as a sort of gesture symbolizing confidence).

Hinata and Naruto were designed and intended to represent the Yin and Yang concepts of Taoism:

Though, honestly, I think a lot of people sell her character very short since we only see her in the context of being near or relating to Naruto. We don't get to see her character outside of that context - which is why she's (unfairly) portrayed as being obssessed and centered around Naruto.
Though I would argue that's not at all the case - as we see during the Chunin exam preliminaries when Hinata refuses to stay collapsed on the ground and berates Neji for trapping himself in the suffering and turmoil between the head and branch families.
Not to mention her Talk-no-Jutsu for Naruto.

It's called comedic relief as well as plot/plot development.
Come on, this trolling isn't working, you know?
He hasn't kissed her, yes, though she was the first one Naruto wanted to kiss. Remember how he always wanted to peep on her, asked her to dates etc.
Come on, let's not go there...
I do not understand NaruSaku supporters, Sakura never wanted Naruto. And Naruto is into Hinata lately so why are you supporting a relationship non of the 2 parties want?!
Pfft. Sakura and Hinata are just there for Naruto to fill the void, temporarily.
Oh, and nice to know that having beliefs and opinions means trolling.
Didn't know. Taking notes.

You know, going by this logic Sasuke never wanted Sakura, and Naruto never wanted Hinata. All of them are one-sided pairings for now, but NS becoming canon makes the most of sense for me.

Lol, are we reading the same manga? Naruto didn't want Sakura? Definitely we're not reading the same manga.
Show me a panel with Naruto having a romantic implication when thinking at Hinata, more than just a friend, and then we'll talk. Lately he's into her just because he thanked her for being there for him? Well, guess Sakura IS into Naruto since she thanked him too.

That's what you think. They both have important bonds with him.
And don't play the innocent one here, come on. We both know this is not either a shoujo manga, not to talk about yaoi... So yeah.
But whatever.
Shoujo manga = romance manga. Not shonen = action one.
And of course you can have opinions and I am totally neutral to them, but really, bringing yaoi when it's clear that it was all done for comedic relief and the following Sasuke's ass or however you said, it's part of one of the bigger plots, I find it a bit trolling, sorry. It's like a disrespect to both characters, Sasuke's and Naruto's.

True, Sasuke never wanted Sakura, he never showed interest in anybody. Naruto showed more than enough interest in Sakura back in the days but she refused. Now he is starting to show interest in Hinata. So that relationship is not one sides anymore, and don't deny that, they holding hands on the cover for god sakes, if the holding hands was not significant it wouldnt be on the cover!!
There little reason to support SasuSaku, its one sided
And there is no reason at all to support NaruSaku, neither of them want this!!!!!!
