You pairing fans don't seem to realize that Kishimoto is trolling with you. He knows that a large portion of Naruto fans care about pairings, so he wants to keep the fans interested in the manga.
He has been doing this since always. Those of you who still don't get were trolled successfully.
You don't know anything. The author isn't trolling his fanbase. He's literally providing fanservice by making it seem possible for any pairings to happen. It's not the story he wants to tell, so he doesn't need to include any pairing foreshadowing, but he's just pleasing the fans.
