Again, how it was only Hinata that helped Naruto from the breaking down if even the cover states Naruto looking at Neji, Hinata helped him but she wasnt she alone in fact it was Neji, it's even highlighted on the cover it was Neji, Neji is on the middle the focus is on him, the handholding was to emphasize the 615 chapter.

Funnily enough, all of this only reinforced my impression NS is the end pairing and all of that NH development is nothing more than a redherring to confuse readers, but hey he has done all of that at the expense of common sense, logic, and a devaluation of the manga. I think Kishi is aware of that but what matters for him is the ratings above all else, terrible way of seeing things but as long as Kishi gets the money he will be fine ; integrity is a word of the past only finance matters, sad state of affairs.
Just my 2 cents on this whole fiasco.
EDIT
AzureWaters : I really like your posts you're one of the best and most unbiased poster here even tough I don't necessarily agree with everything you say.

I think Kishi chooses to put on the covers the highlights of the volume and what he considers important.
Sakura has been in covers before. Not every cover should have Sakura in it even if she's the heroine.
It's not just them, I agree. But they are the center of attention; out of every moment Kishi could have chose he chose them holding hands. I really thought we got spared of that when 616 came out and Sasuke stole the color pages. Unfortunately we weren't. I think of covers with Narusaku and they never had that, they didn't get their hug or any real physical contact on covers.
I'm seeing alot of people being hypocritical because of the "it means something" reactions to Road To Ninja, technically filler/non-canon, compared to this (drawn by Kishimoto, in the manga) and how it means nothing.
SAKURA is the HEROINE. She will always be. I get that she didn't have a role in this volume. I'd like a cover with her and Naruto that's not just them being the main characters for once.
Like I said in my last post, this could be the beginning of NH stepping stone or it could be the end of the Huyga story since there isn't anything else to talk about them but there is a lot to resolve with Team 7, we could agree that Hinata story is almost complete by now, if NH is meant to be the end pairing then she will only waiting for the I love you too from Naruto, but if NH is not meant to be then the focus will switch on witch guy Sakura will finally choose when the focus is on Team 7 again.
Correct: Naruhina is not canon.
I want to believe its the end of Hinata development/Naruhina resolution but I cant anymore because we've been saying that since she confessed and it just hasn't ended. I think it will be the end if Naruto confirms he still loves Sakura. While I believe he does and there's no evidence that points to him giving up on his love for her, confirmation of it should shut the nay-sayers up.
Actually, that is not worse than the statement, only makes it seem because it came later, as a confirmation of the feelings of Hinata, but Naruto does not show while returning, we're fine.

You need not worry, Sakura will return soon and we will know clearly whether there is cause for concern.
**hugs**
I honestly like Hinata. I think she's a good character. Do I think she completes Naruto as much as Sakura does? NO WAY! Naruto and Sakura have a deep bond that cannot be broken.
When Sakura returns I only hope it's not due to Sasuke. I want to see her fight along side Naruto as she said she would in chap. 573.
I agree that it doesn't confirm Naruto loves Hinata. He still loves Sakura.

THANK YOU! Besides that 617 shows Hinata helping Naruto again. There was no troll, its just the Naruhina fans expected more and we braced for more. We should be happy nothing more happened in 616.

Yes its a highlight and something special in the volume, but has nothing to do with beeing important to the story. Its just a cover of a volume, not the cover of the whole manga, so its says exactly nothing. Also we already know how the whole chapter 615 moment turned out. Romantic intention from hinata, not naruto. 616 showed this even more.

616 isn't an excuse. The chapter after that (617) shows Hinata supporting Naruto again. Meaning, Kishi didn't forget about Naruhina.
Like I and AzureWaters said, it was more of a fandom disappointment. They expected more and we braced for more. It doesn't take away what happened in 615. The cover proves that (it covers chapters 608 - 617). Naruto holding Hinata's hand is emphasized alot. That's all I'm saying.
We have to wait for Sakura. I know she will keep her promise and fight along side Naruto.

617 only shows hinatas hand pushing in narutos shoulder in one panel. It has nothing to do with NH. The panel make sakuras absence obvious and its also likly that this is what kishi wanted to show to the readers.
616 shows again that naruto doesnt seem to have any special feelings for hinata and 617 changes nothing on that. Chapter 615 and 617 have nothing that can be seen as something NH related since theres no idication that naruto has feelings for hinata.

Yes, they are the center of attention. But, the other characteristics of this cover, what do they give to you ?. I get it with that he putted them holding hands, but you need to see also how they are and what are their reactions. These are things that you have to look at, and not just take hand holding of two characters, and that's it even if he putted them out of anything else.
You need to see the overall.
She had appeared in covers before with Naruto. Your specific wish maybe will come true in the future.

616 doesn't show Naruto having special feelings for Hinata, but I consider 615 a major hint towards it being a possibility. Keyword is possible: I still firmly believe Naruto loves Sakura. That doesn't mean Kishimoto can't develop Naruhina because he's certainly pushing it hard right now.
OK, lets agree to disagree.

I suppose so. I just wish it wasn't the main thing. I wanted it to be Neji and Hinata and the Hyuugas if anything.

But it is. That's the whole point of the cover, it brings closure to the Naruto/Hinata/Neji subplot from way back in the chunin exams.
Neji finally breaks out of his mental birdcage by understanding the power of free will and Hinata is able to get the acknowledgment from Naruto that she always wanted by him holding her hand.
The imagery of this volume cover symbolizes the closure of both Hyuugas, plus a sneak peak of the super powered alliance and the Juubi. All of those are the highlights of the volume. It's all very fitting when you think about it.
Regardless of whether Naruto and Hinata are looking at each other or at Neji, or whether Kishi could've chosen this cover as the beginning of the NH romance, the general mood of the cover is about Naruto and Hinata obtaining the resolve to keep on fighting despite their sadness and make Neji's sacrifice mean something.

It does bring back closure to the Chunin exams subplot.

You contradicted yourself there, you can you believe that Naruto loves Sakura if you say that 615 a major hint of this being a possibility doesnt make any sense.
If i would agree with that statement then Naruto doesnt love Sakura and his love is not genuine.
615 didnt show that and i even tried twisting that moment fo favours NaruHina and i still could not convince myself.
So agree to disagree.
