I think the terrible handling of the Hinata pairing, and the absolute lack of any development of any other character, in the manga or movie, will do the opposite for her character in the future.

 

Instead of being a secondary character that came into her own, she will always be the secondary character that hijacked the ending. 

 

I think it will cement NS as the pairing that was supposed to be, but was killed by the marketing/editors/animators in favor of more money.

 

If anything, it will shine a spotlight on NS as what was supposed to have happened in the manga. Not a lost pairing, not a crack pairing, but the single most developed OTP of the series. And only the farce of an ending stopped it from happening.

I know for certain that this movie will prove that Hinata was and will always be a silver medal.

No, that's the problem. That movie make Hinata seem like a gold medal since that movie's making Naruto's feelings for Sakura look like they never existed in the first place. It makes his feelings for Sakura look like it was not love since the beginning, so no in the movie Hinata's not a silver medal because she's his real love. Sad but true. Though, we NS fans will always know it's false. That movie is not Naruto, it's just some shojo movie tha has nothing to do with the shonen we've been readin for years.

Hmm yeah I know they'll try to make her look like that, but I just meant in my book she always will be.

Actually, I think the opposite will happen. The movie will only ever look like a desperate ploy to lead readers away from the author's original intent. 698 chapters will never be overwritten by a movie and a silly 15-page book. And their desperation in selling NH to the fans only reinforces that they know it too.

 

Even in the last scene in the manga with Naruto and Sakura together, Kishimoto references their hug at the end of the Pain arc. Sakura says something to the effect of he's still always rushing in, and this time it's flipped so that Naruto says "Thank you, Sakura-chan." Not only is this Naruto-code for 'I love you,' but out of all the scenes in the manga, all the things he could have said or connections with Sakura he could have made, he references that one. In the manga, it is the only time we see Naruto's response to affection, and he's making it a direct correlation to Sakura's public display of affection for Naruto. Sakura's hug was also apparently the point that the manga was supposed to have ended before. So Kishimoto connecting the dots between two is significant.

 

I'm not making excuses for him and his lousy choices (like the way women have been portrayed), but if can't be overlooked that Naruto's last words, as the Naruto we all knew and loved, were for Sakura.

 

My honest opinion is that Kishimoto wanted the manga to go one direction and the powers over him wanted the Naruto brand to go another. And in the end he had to go the way of his contract. 

 

But I think the last scene with Sakura, and the vague handling of the pairings lets readers see the author's intent, then choose the ending they would like. And even though he standing up there with the red-scarf noose around his neck, I think he knows that whatever comes after - the movie, the promotional materials, the new series, etc. - is built on a separate foundation.

But he doesn't use logic and he will not rewrite anything.
This mangaka kill NS in our face. And he will do anything to justify his ending pairing.

Eh, no. My faith in Kishimoto is less than zero and I don't think for a moment that the movie's going to turn out to be some huge troll and NaruSaku is suddenly validated. I just don't see such a thing happening. I'll still ship NS as a fanon pairing, but NH and SS are, unfortunately, canon and the movie is not very likely to change that. But, you know, just my opinion.

Yet sadly, it has more feels than these two as of now. I have never seen this much fanon pairing outshine canon pairing.

Not a chance, but at this point, I don't care anymore. Naruto ended on 698 for me. Open ended.

 

In my mind Naruto confessed to Sakura, she returned those feelings in earnest, they got together and started dating, grew older, Naruto became Hokage, Sakura carried on Tsunade's legacy of teaching medical ninjutsu, they married, had kids, the end.

Nope. Zero. Zip. Nada. Kishimoto himself hates it.
Only in reboots past moments and headcanons can NS live on.

Is there a small glimmer of hope left in me? Maybe. But that is only because of all of you guys here that, time and time again, have shown a deep love and understanding for Naruto and Sakura. I wouldn't be a NS fan if it wasn't for this site, and its many contributors. Without it I'd probably still like NH.

I was like that too, I doubted an for a fee days my hope wavered but, as I thought about it more an more I realized the last two chaps didnt add up. Kurama was asleep that tells me the ending wasnt real. An now their poster coming out on dec 6th that leaves me more hopeful that narusaku has a major chance to happen

NaruSaku is heaven and earth without one there'd never be the other
