Remember when I told you guys that all this seems like Kishi is reversing situations from Sakura's confession where people threw kitten at Sakura for her confession? He's doing that to Naruto, he reserved the roles, he's lying to himself and now look at how Japanese fandom sees him... It's like Kishi's saying: You were saying about Sakura...?
And not this happens... it can't be a coincidence... or maybe I've lost my marbles...
However, think about this. It all looks like Hinata was jealous on Naruto's love for Sasuke and Sakura respectively.
Hinata gets to be a 100% Sakura only with her hair while in terms of importance, she is put on the same pedestal as Sasuke - if he cannot save Hinata (aka Sasuke) then no Hokage.
See the patterns here?
Hey that could be their excuse if they decide to backpedal on this whole NH situation.
