Most uplifting: Huge after Pain.
Most change: CPR and heart grab or promise of a lifetime.
Wish never existed: Chapter 693
Mostly ignored (by Kishimoto): Her addressing her feelings but might happen soon (as unlikely as it feels after 693).
Speaking about parallels. The hug scene (Pain Arc) reminds me about the interaction between Naruto and Kushina... who punched him first and only then hugged her son.
