Really? Wow. I think Hinata loving Naruto is just a bonus part from Kishi and I don't even think he really pay that much of attention. You may say, "But we have been seeing her for a while." Sometimes, you just have to give extra spice for all fans to be happy. Besides, she really didn't get that much of attention, but I guess this arc lasts so long, we forgot all others. If you ask me, each team has that one person out of the group that will get more treatment than others. Team 10: Shikamaru, though the whole team does get the most treatment out of all. Team 8: Hinata. Team Gai: Looks like it's Gai himself. Think back from part 1 to now. He has many spotlight moments than his team. That seems to be the case for side characters.
So the lesson of the story is: if you don't have a Hinata then you'll lead a loveless life.
Yeah, forget working hard to win the affection of someone, the only thing you can do is hope that a Hinata will suddenly appear in your life.
I can't believe how some people forget that you actually have to make an effort in order to establish a relationship, not just hope that some magical perfect person will suddenly appear in front of you.
so the fable's moral is : Naruto will succed to fulfill his wishes because he had Hinata at his side unlike Jiraiya, Obito and even Minato

I think they try put Hinata in there because they know that it could lead to something romantic, It's more like "yeah Obito loved Rin e Jiraiya loved Tsunade and both clearly parallel Naruto and his love for Sakura but but .. Naruto has Hinata ... he'll love her instead of Sakura for sure!!!" .... Parallels clearly doesn't work that way.
Yeah, that's not a good moral at all. Funny, if NH is a serious deal, should Kishi at least have a Hinata in each of the parallels. I'm just saying.
This, If a "Hinata" had appeared in each of the parallel then yes, It would make sense they say something like that, but too bad.. it didn't happen.
Obito really seems to have had no other romantic interest since he was very young when he "died", but Jiraiya..he definitely should have other women who wanted to be with him, but because he loved Tsunade he always declined. (it reminds me of that filler episode that a woman wants to marry him, but he refuses because he loves Tsunade

)
This chapter kind of gave me that sense of it. It plays even more of a significance because he mentions that she saved him twice, even though really she didn't, yet he mentions nothing of the confession. Shadow Wolf even mentioned that since Naruto is in his 9-Tail cloak and can sense people's emotions which makes me even more suspicious that he knows Hinata even more.
I remember have read that it was a mistranslation and what he said was "It would be lame if you had to save me twice" or something like that, but I don't know for sure!
