The only relevance I see with the pairings is if Minato and Naruto have a man to man talk about his llife and interests. Which would so freaking weird and strange but I kind of want to see that. Oh and maybe a legitimate parallel between Minato and Kushina to Naruto and Hinata/Sakura. Like Minato tells Naruto about how he fell for Kushina and that makes Naruto think of one of those two (probably hinata) and that seals the deal. But yeah, that is really the only pairing action that can happen in the midst of the war. Everything else would happen after.
But suddenly... HinaSaku looks really, really, really nice
