To answer the question about what do I want next for NS is something that will hit Sakura thinking her feelings for Naruto is. For example, let's say Naruto does a great speech and then slowly walking away to engage the combat. Sakura will be there behind but stop, while watching him walking away. She will then say something like, "What is this feeling? I feel...warm..." Basically I want her to start wondering for her feelings for Naruto. It will be the next and last step for her before NS becomes canon. She already have doubts on her feelings for Sasuke, so now, if she becomes confused with her feelings for Naruto, she can recap herself and comes to realize who she really loves.
I need something like this from Sakura, has we already saw Sakura had a flask back on her moments with Sasuke but we don't know what is really in her heart on mind when it comes to Naruto, does she only see him has her best friend, Konaha's hero, the person who inspires her the most, someone really precious and special but not in a romantic way or their is something more.
This is why I cannot be an 100% about NaruSaku, is because I now Sasuke will be good again but I don't know if he will do something great to impact Sakura or be at the verge of death because he did something so save Sakura's life, like taking a hit from any of the current villain who wanted to kill her because they want to hurt Naruto's resolve.
With Hinata her feelings have being gating a lot of focus for a side character and her databooks entries has being nothing but her desire to be with Naruto plus I cannot see her selfish desire, like Kishi showing her thinking that despite she notice how much Naruto cares about Sakura she will do her best to win him over, or something like no matter what he feels or Sakura feels, in her mind she feels that she deserves Naruto more than Sakura since she hurt his feelings, only run behind Sasuke and break Naruto's heart with her confession.
Something that shows Hinata saying that no matter what she will get Naruto with the former already telling Hinata that he see her has a good friend while thinking about his desire for Sakura's love, but Hinata selfishly wants more than just friends.
Or even Neji since he was the only one who didn't get a moment in chapter 573, we see a flas back of him advising Hinata that if she continued her pursue on Naruto she just going get hurt, since Naruto loves Sakura and everyone can see that Sakura also start feeling the same way about him.
Hinata has never had a selfish thought about Naruto, only her words in her confession, so that's why I cannot write off NH the way you guys do.
Why I think that way, is because I cannot see Naruto breaking her heart without any selfish desire from her part, I also cannot see Sakura breaking Naruto's heart if he confess his feelings to her, in the end I don't think is fair for Hinata or Naruto to just be happy about the person they love being happy with someone else.
So there can only be two fair scenario, Naruto already started to move on from His love for Sakura, or there is some selfishness from Hinata we will see in the future part of the Manga.
Kisi did said that we will see some surprise and if he meant anything on the romance department, Sakura loving Naruto should not be a surprise for anyone who reads the story without any bias.
The surprises would be, Sasuke always loving Sakura, Naruto always loving Hinata, Sasuke loving Karin or Hinata were always being selfish in some way.
So yes NS has everything absolutely everything in a story standpoint, but just that aspect on Hinata, not knowing precisely how Sakura feels for Naruto after 600 chapters and not seeing Naruto reassuring his romantic aspiration or thought about his feelings for Sakura in about 290 chapters and roughly 150 more before the Manga ends, That alone bothers me a lot.
Also keep that movie from Kishi in mind, Hinata being Yandere could also mean that she really want's to posses Naruto at all means, we just need to wait.
