I actually don't agree with you in NS = zutaraHow you see Zutara is how the rest of the fandom sees Narusaku. Replace Aang with Sakura and you get why, well, Narusaku wasn't going to happen (without some serious changes on Sakura's part that sadly never happened)
The movie might have the closure we want for Narusaku, but that scene with Sakura encouraging Hinata....I don't know. I think it's probably best left up to our imaginations. We'll get much more satisfaction that way.
First because kataang was obvious since the beginning, SS/NH was not obvious .And also because the situations were completely different, i mean look at sasuke, he never ever expressed any interest in sakura, the same about naruto for Hinata
The truth is that the romance in naruto was very badly done, very very badly while the romance in ATLA was actually decent
Now, the romance in naruto was very badly done bc it never had good development for NH/SS , NS was the best developed in the big 3 but still was also kind of underdeveloped.
Kishimoto sucks in the romance aspect, the story would be so much better if it focused in the bond of team Seven as a whole
