I wonder for how long we'll have to speculate about the mystery woman. Let's hope that in the next issue of Jump more adult rookie sketches are released, including one for Hinata so that we can put all this to rest.
One thing I noticed about the mystery woman is that her hair is a little puffy (don't know if that's the right word to describe it). That's to say that the hair around her head goes quite to the side and takes a circular shape going down. But Hinata's hair is extremely straight so it goes down in a straight line. Then again I could be overthinking it.
Besides, why would Kishi put a mystery Hinata sketch with Naruto? The only reason I could imagine is because they're going to be a couple, but the problem with that is that it doesn't make any sense whatsoever with the rest of the story, so in the end it can't be Hinata.
Don't think about whether the sketch is Hinata or not, think about whether or not it would make sense for it to be Hinata going by the story. The answer is that it wouldn't make sense, therefore it's really not Hinata.
You deserve a cookie.
Hinatas hair and nature of her hair is completely different from that of the sketch. Its spikey and messy. Hinatas hair, regardless of the length, always is straight and falls down, not messy at all not to mention hinatas signaturw side bangs, theyre clumped up, not seperated at all. I doubt kishi is gonna pay much attention to hinatas new design and make a big change, shes not a major character, basically i doubt hes gonna change her hair one bit. And if he does, that'd make me Halle Berry, which im not.
Plus, logically hinata doesnt fit in the puzzle. It could be anyone, my bets are ayame or later sakura.
