Well, I was thinking… and if all this ending, the Last and the Gaiden crap was a hidden message from Kishi to his family? 
I mean if Narusaku, Sasukarin and Nejihina had been the final couples, husband and wife would be guiding the respective family together. 
Now, does Kishi guide his family with his wife?
I doubt it. He is too busy with work. And, maybe, his wife complained about it. 
SP and SJ editors and assistants (Hinata fanboys) take the opportunity to show to Kishi who is Hinata the true GOOD woman and the true GOOD wife from this point of view. She is dedicated to Naruto, she endures his absence for work, she wait for him without complaint, with a smile. 
Sakura is dragged in this mess and she is turned into her pavid old self for Sasuke.
Naruto and Sasuke accept such women’s devotion and, appreciative of their love, pay back never cheating on them (while remaining dispassionate, absent and too busy with other things).
But it's okay. Because they don’t cheat. 
The GOOD WIVES are happy with this, remain silent, trust their husbands and… Continue to wait. 
This is the message (and Bakuman appears to confirm this).
What you think about this, guys? 
I think you're right. There is that thing in Japan... marriage is considered like a "contract", or an "enterprise".
Japanese consider marriage like an enterprise, and the two parties must keep their role to get it to work.
It's a view I respect, because our model is not that perfect either and women's condition in our society is not really that good either.
IMO it's not something to be ashamed about to be a housewife.
But what I don't like about it, it's that women are often the ones with the more of pressure in that marriage system.
In Japanese traditional family model, the woman is doing what you said. Keeping the house, preparing lunches... in Japan, women are awake very early to prepare the breakfast and the bentos for the family. Some of them wake up at 4.
It's how it works. Women often quit their job when they marry and they're becoming housewives. And the husband is working outside, trying to be strong and get money for the family. This is the traditional model. I guess Kishimoto is living like that with his wife...
Husbands are getting back home very late at night because of the long distances in train. Because of the pressure at work, most of them are having breakdown and they get drunk all the time. Sometime they just can't go back home because they missed the last train, so they go to sleep in those small cabin hostels.
Actually, I was pretty surprised to see girls saying that Hinata is the Hyuga heiress in that Kiba gaiden. I mean really ? We never saw her doing that. I thought she was 'only' and housewife. How could she manage to lead the Hyuga clan while doing all of her housework ? Also, she's not a leader type at all.
It's the same with Sakura. We never saw her in that children's hospital. We just supposed she's doing so. But the image we get from her is 'only' housework. Kishi must be really into that traditional model.
IMO that traditional model was good in the past.
But in our modern societies, there is too much pressure. So it's too much for one man only to work, and it's too much for one woman only to care alone for the house and all the lunches, taking care of the children, and to be alone most of the time.
Naruto seems to be evolving in a modern society now. They have laptops so...it must be hard for everyone, just like for modern japanese that still living with that traditional model.
It's just... Naruto was a manga about ninjas, and Sakura for exemple is not the type to be a housewife at all.
I still think Kishimoto doesn't know anymore how to make Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke and Hinata interact.
Since chapter 700, not even one of them is interacting with the others. Sasuke is away, alone. Sakura is alone with her daughter. Naruto is at work. We only saw Hinata in Boruto's thoughts.
There is only that Kiba Gaiden, where we saw Naruto and Hinata walking together, but not saying anything to each other.
All that gives me the impression that Kishi doesn't know how to get all this to work. I think he doesn't know what Naruto and Hinata could do together. Naruto walking with her is so weird... Naruto was always with the pink haired one. LOL so... walking together like that with a girl is romantic right ? LOL
That's what we're supposed to understand. But Naruto and Sakura were ALWAYS like that. ALWAYS.
I expected Naruto and sakura to get everything to work TOGETHER. Dealing with the children, dealing with the hospital, and with Hokage things. But Kishi put Shikamaru as a counsellor. I mean, it's a good thing. But I always pictured Naruto asking advice from Sakura. I always pictured some humorous moments between Naruto and Sakura and the children. Everything is so broken... since that time when Kishi just put Naruto beside Hinata at Neji's funeral, everything is so kittening broken.
/// What is this I wrote 'f u c k i n g' and suddenly there is 'kittening' replacing it. LOL
