But in that time Tsundere in its peak of popularity so it shelved. So I don't agree that you said that Kishi-sensei isn't flexible
Sakura will make sure to trample all over that, am i rite NaruSakus? 
And why NS moment slide Naruto rank in WSJ while NH moment improve it ? More specifically, WSJ audience already tired with Tsundere.
It think my point is Kishi-sensei is a flexible mangaka, he is willing to listen outside input. Most of NS fans always stated that he stubborn like Kubo Tite, but in reality he not that stubborn.
But NH fans won't forgave Kishi-sensei that easily, actually they are the fiercest Naruto defender. But they can change into fiercest hater if Kishi-sensei not flexible.
How about this manga-panel, she shout Sasuke-kun when help by Naruto and Sasuke
and don't forget that Sasuke-kun already back again
Naruto never stated in this manga that he's IN LOVE with Sakura.
Don't forget that Naruto is protest to Sakura, why she just say "Sasuke-kun"
If not forget NS fans love to argue that NS will happen because it idiot hero and tsundere, because this pair usually end as canon in other anime / manga series.
Actually only character poll which officially, and based on recent poll Hinata is the most popular female character in Naruto
Some NS like to claim that they are majority but the reality is different NH and NS almost equal.
Nobody expect Bulma x Vegeta in DB but it happen.
NH stuck with NS while NS stuck with SS, all of ship in Naruto is stuck. But the last page of 647 is really something.
Ive noticed kishi has really gone out of his way to include Hinata panels in as much chapters as he can. in 647 alone she had a panel on like 3 pages. and every panel she is in has something to do with naruto in a worried or confident way. It seems as though kishimoto is really trying to get people used to seeing hinata in there involved in the manga, maybe as to make a possible naruhina end not seem foreign. he also has the tendency of putting her on the last page of a chapter.
Im trying my best to think about this from a neutral point of view, despite my naruhina preference.
FMA mangaka cleverly evolve Winry so she became acceptable but in Sakura case, all of us knew Kishi-sensi hobby right. Like in recent chapter She so beat up so badly by Shinju, but luckily Sai help her out.
Compare with Hinata who I assume manage to escape by herself.
[spoiler][spoiler]
I think Kishi-sensei already ruin Sakura too much, even Akira Toriyama not that evil with Bulma.
Yes. Way to be Cpt. Obvious. 
I don't like the way she keeps being used if she is not going to be endgame though. Kishimoto keeps insisting on showing her drooling over Naruto every chance he gets, but if at the end of this war Naruto is bound to end up with Sakura, then that makes her look much worse. After the confession, there is no reason for Kishimoto to keep empathizing Hinata's love for Naruto, not to mention putting her life on the line again. Sakura has never done anything like that for Naruto. Not even close. Yet she'll reap Hinata's efforts? Imagine re-reading the mange after it's alll said and done. How stupid will all these "Hinata sacrifices" look when you know at the end she's brushed aside and Naruto hooks up with Sakura. Also, by constantly reminding the readers that Hinata is still drooling over Naruto, he's not giving time for Hinata to change her stance from "I want to be with you", to "I want you to be happy". Such a sudden turnaround is not realistic at the moment and if he continues to show Hinata in this fashion, will continue to be unrealistic. Kishimoto will seem like he's just been milking the Hinata cow basically.
As an added bonus for NaruSakus, let's do some "fanfiction" and please try to get my point here. Let's pretend this.
Sakura>Sasuke>Naruto>Hinata
Sakura has always loved Sasuke. Sasuke has been cold to Naruto (rivals and whatnot), but has a sweet spot for him. Naruto doesn't love Sasuke, but is dying for Hinata. Hinata seems like doesn't like Naruto, left the village and turned evil. (See what I did there?)
How would you view Naruto if the following happened:
Sakura saved Sasuke's life twice already and has helped him get encouragement more than once. Her love for Sasuke seems like it's much greater than any other love portrayed in the series. Naruto saw and/or knows Sakura confessed to Sasuke and is greatly in love with him. Sasuke has recognized Sakura a couple of times and even held hands with her, thanking her for being with him. Sasuke and Naruto have gotten very close ever since Hinata left. Sasuke wants to try and bring Hinata back since it's their comrade and it will make Naruto happy. Naruto gets depressed often and Sasuke finds a way to lift him up every now and then. Time passes and Naruto seems to have begun to fall out of love for Hinata. Naruto and Sasuke are very good friends. Sakura keeps making the best effort to be acknowledged by Sasuke. At the end, Naruto doesn't love Hinata anymore since she's different and they haven't had much time to spend together. Knowing that Sakura always loved Sasuke, confessed first, sacrificed her life a couple of times for him and keeps trying to be acknowledged by Sasuke to this very day, Naruto doesn't give a damn and hooks up with Sasuke since he's always been there for him. Sakura is shown happy since Sasuke is happy.
FIN.
