It depends really and to be honest, Hinata really didn't leave any opening for her to get a response. It's more like get a response or get nothing, either way it's ok. The thing about NS is that Naruto hasn't done his confession and he got nothing for Hinata, so friendly term is the best way for NH and I would be happy if I were them. Better than nothing or even minor friendship.Guys do you agree with no character feeling resolve off panel?
In this case many statement that say naruto didn't love sakura because (ex:) he give up to sakura(from poal) and start seeing Hinata differently. And because it didn't serious so it's not important to mention it again.
That said it would seem Hinata could get ignore entirely and it wouldn't surprise me. The main triangle will get a on-panel resolution, so it's all on Sakura at this point. You got Naruto who never gives up and never change feelings and you got Sasuke who is a lone wolf and pretty much brush everyone off, so now she has to decide.
Well to be fair....that show was crap. Lol. But no really, it was a unnecessary sequel but I was hoping for being good. Instead, I got repetitive animation (my god it was embarrassing), overpowered gundams (mainly main 2), confusing pairings (make up your mind), and weak ending (without final plus). Oh and too much flashback episodes. Making Kishi look noob in comparison. So yeah...lol.
This^ there are some manga and anime that make pairings from out of the blue for fun. For example Gundam Seed Destiny I love Atrum/Gagali I really like this pairing but all of the sudden its shows in the anime that she stops seeing him because of her work and without a conversation he suddenly ends up with Lunamaria's younger sister even if it wasn't shown that they got together but they were hints that he might have. Especially when Gagali told her" take care of him" yeah she's handing him to her on a silver platter. Then there was Shin who was deeply in love with this girl Estella. Throughout the series it is clear he's really in love with her, then tragedy strikes as she dies and suddenly while he's in big depression he kisses Lunamaria who was comforting him and just like that they're an official couple I mean seriously WTF. They made the development but just like that they destroy the pairing they were building up just to make another one from out of nowhere without any development whatsoever, thank goodness Kishi isn't like that and he will never destroy the pairing he has been developing for years. To this day I'm still frustrated to how that series of Gundam ended in the pairings department.
