Saw it earlier during a break from work.
Actually, and I'm not the first to point this out, the interview rather proves that NaruSaku was a strong possibility. And apparently there are a couple different translations of this interview...IDK, I only looked at one. Apparently the other translation says that NH and SS happened because Sakura felt sorry for Hinata, and because Naruto wanted to let Sakura be with Sasuke?
Still, have to say it hurt my heart to read it.
I've enjoyed this manga too much to just drop it. I'm not leaving the fandom. But knowing that the ending exists makes being a Naruto fan bittersweet, that's for certain.
