LadyGT I have to say I'm SO glad you're pro-NS, because if you were pro NH or SS...this would be torture.
You really make the NaruSaku Fam shine.
They will deny these parallels till the end, and I'd bet twenty bucks if all of the older generation of pairings paralleled NH they'd rub it in our faces as much as they could. I honestly fear for the paring fandoms of Naruto. Like, when NS becomes canon, that will probably be one of the greatest ****storms the internet has ever witnessed.
And I'm just going to throw this out here because of a similar situation I've been in.
*activates flame shield*
I shipped Harry and Hermione. Or, "Harmony". I shipped them so hard and I didn't even know the meaning of ships or pairings. I just genuinely liked the idea of this pairing. To this day Harry not ending up with Hermione still burns a little, lol. I just could not believe what I was reading when Harry, out of the blue, developed these feelings for Ginny. The whole HG and HR in Book 6/7 felt so contrived and unnatural....Okay, I'm not going to get any further into that. 
Anyways, I'm just saying they should prepare themselves for the "worst". Better safe than "trolled". And that goes for me as well. You just NEVER know what the author is capable of until it's right there in your face. But don't get me wrong, I'm pretty damn confident NS will be canon. The exact opposite feeling I had when I first joined this site. The way Kishi has built this pairing and how gradual this has all been...if it doesn't happen, it would seem like bad writing. Like seriously, what would be the point in putting all of the effort, time, and parallels into building this pairing?
Well its just a matter if some people realize if the story even allows for a pairing to take place. NS definitely has a chance, the biggest by far. If anything NS as a relation has gotten the most focus in the series aside from Naruto and Sasuke for that brotherhood relation. NH can it happen? Yeah but its a slim chance and its going to be harder to make when kishi has left out so much time on it he could have used to develop it. Many missed opportunities means it would look even weaker if he didn't get to work on it as much as he could have back in the pain or 4th war arc. Not to mention with 631, its going to be even harder to imagine now. People like to say he messes and teases us with NS as a red herring or trolls the pairings evenly but honest to god, no he does not. He most likely doesn't even care, does he know? Sure but people still missing the point on 469, him even saying he felt he decepted an honest girl who though stubborn truly cares for Naruto, its not that she tried to confess to Naruto, she was trying to save him from his own stubbornness and her own overrelaiance on him, she was concerned for his well-being plain and simple yet others act as if she was somehow trying to manipulate him for her own gain, she only wanted his safety above all. SasuSaku on the other hand, its near death. No way in hell is Sasuke ever going to love Sakura, rather any reason. For a guy who had not even thought much of her when they were friends and just simple comrades, I don't know why people suddenly expect this to come true. Sasuke getting all warm and fuzzy feelings is just crazier than the golden byakugan theory. Sasuke does not do nice. But as it is, NS has everything laid out, Sakura's development will lead to something in the end with Naruto.
The greatest irony of claims against NS for people using 615 as Neji dying for NH to come true, they completely missed the point of 615. Neji died on his own choice and freewill out of protecting Naruto and Hinata, aka to come full circle, he originally hated both of them and wanted to kill Hinata, look what he did, his end was him freely choosing to intercept the wood stake not because it was his duty as a member of the side branch, it was his own free will and he chose to die to protect them. This was his development full circle, he was free to make his own choice on protecting others. he sacrificed himself out of wanting to save them, not for romance. He simply moved because he chose to freely sacrifice himself. This is what is funny, many don't realize this was Neji's full circle development, Slextrem actually had a video on 615 for the time which said this. Now in this full circle development, its like people can accept things on Naruto and Sasuke's ends for Naruto being accepted and an acknowledged hokage and Sasuke no longer claiming revenge seeing he has a future back home in the leaf. But they think its a god damned impossibility for Sakura to love Naruto. They think the aspect of her hating Naruto in the start but loving him in the end is just too complex and hard to believe. Hey if 635 has Sakura turning away from Sasuke and she still views Naruto as practically her best friend, then what are we to think here that SS will still magically come true or that perhaps 631 and 635 may start to lean at something else, aka Kushina's foreshadow and Sakura gaining affection for Naruto? To many this is impossible.Yet is simple full circle development, we have seen it with Neji (mentioned above), Gaara (hated everyone and was feared by all, father tried to kill him, in the end he forgave his father, found out his uncle didn't actually hate him at all, and even said his father did what he thought was right, now look he is the loved kazekage), team 10 (were a disfuctional group at first but became better, grew up together, Shikamaru accepted a mantle of leadership, Choji became confident, Ino is a determined girl, they lost Asuma but continued to grow, they had their closure with him during the war). Now I just need to ask, we will see more full circle development, but does anyone honestly think that Sakura is somehow incapable of loving Naruto and that after all this development SS is still somehow going to occur or NH should just get rammed into our faces? People don't suspect Hinata's ending being more towards confident and able to lead her clan? Yeah its going to stink for her to not have Naruto for NS but really who's story is this? Narutos or Hinatas? Naruto is the main character, its his trails and ordeals that matter most, especially when we have seen many times, some of his deepest stuff hinges around Sakura. Still no deep love moments from Naruto to Hinata, I mean until they get something like 457 where we find out why Naruto does not confess, NH is still missing a lot. Why would kishi dump NS after putting a good amount of emphasis on it and hardly any on NH? Thats all I need to say, yet people think the smallest stuff will promote NH despite how much NS stuff has been laid out. Again all I can say is the 3 things NS has going for it people just need to deal with:
1. NaruSaku has the most attention, screentime, and development, its the most complex and built. We have more NS moments than Hinata even appears.
2. Naruto has loved Sakura for the entirety of the manga, not once in any other form of media is there with Naruto showing more than a simple flashback of Hinata defending him from pain. This was the only thing Naruto did in terms of returning aside from small talk to her. Yet we see much more on NS side. 631 made it clear that he practically loves her still, even at the aspect of her being his girlfriend (as much as he would want that). If 469 and even 615 didn't turn him, don't know what would. Heck there was even a filler about him saying he still loves Sakura and yet nothing in any form of media of him doubting his love for her or looking more towards Hinata, this is what I find the greatest plot hole for that argument of Naruto being over Sakura, for so much not loving her anymore, the manga, anime, and even a move RtN, have emphasis that he likes her and can get along with her. Yet there is not even a tiny shred of NH advancement anywhere.
3. Sakura's relation with Naruto has changed dynamically, started as hate and how she holds him in high regard, she cares for him a lot, she is best friends, possibly soon to be more with him. She is starting to doubt Sasuke, yet she has doubted her love for him. She is happy with Naruto, she has proven this again and again. Sakura can love Naruto in the end, yet this is impossible to many people.
