This reminds me of a post I made in a discussion with Psychox awhile back.
[spoiler='Spoiler']I am not a fan of the comparison game, but I'm going to use it to illustrate my point about context.
But i cant deny that there was an impact the moment was incomplete until we saw 616 where we found a reason why he hold Hinata's hand(transfer chakra) the moment where he entrusted the kyuubi chakra to his friends(kishi's words) someome posted this while ago on Kishi's double page about Naruto and Sasuke.
Yep if Kishi himself saw this moment as where Naruto give the kyuubi chakra to his friends then's this is a fact.
Now what upset the people the most is that the whole arc, we got too much focus on the Hinata's feelings.
I remember when 615 came i took some SS from users posts.
One said this "Kishimoto has sidelined Sakura this entire war and give constant focus to Hinata's love for Naruto[...] it's like reading a bad fanfiction where Sakura gets brushed off, Hinata gets glorified and takes over the role of the main female, gets paralleled to Kushina, becomes strong enough to encourage Naruto, Naruto saying she was by his side and they both fight together as a superpowered couple.It's a NaruHina fanfiction!"
Until 616 i cant deny that the whole arc was looking like this, without the kushina parallel ofc.
Then after 616 things started changing...
