This post is pure gold, i dunno why some people are making things complicated, and no im not gonna point fingers, but seriously this pairing is so obvious and well built, it goes with the flow of the story, hinata has NOTHING to do with the main plot, that alone speaks volume, hinata was just never meant to be, just face it, this pairing was planned from the beginning, believe it or not, it has so many twists and turns, thats when you know it actually has significance to the story, i might sound biased but its true, all these implications towards this pairing, the romantic hugs, the feeding, sakura being narutos girlfriend, these are all romantic, hugs are considered romantic in japan, girls in japan feed their boyfriends, and kushina told naruto to find a girlfriend like her and he did.Kishi saying that sakura loved sasuke, and that narutos close, him also saying the name of narutos son, and him saying that sakura is the only one that can control naruto (or something along those lines) him saying that the INNER sakura is close to naruto (or something like that) thr databooks, EVERYTHING, why do we continue to argue with others when everythings stacked in OUR favour? just throw in your logic, they can take it or toss it.
This post is awsome, good job graven, oh and btw ciardha got sick of the doubts and worries, she said that she needs a break, i read this on deviantart, and i dont blame her

we just seriously need to calm down, this story of naruto is simple, dont look too deep into things, just enjoy and think logic!
Thanks and its true everything you said. The NS development is done all over the manga since part 1 but opposite fandoms will always disregard it and claim their pairings are canon when they have absolutely no solid evidence of it from the manga (adding the fillers from the anime is just sad).
On a side note I'm not suprised ciardha is taking a break from all of this especially since she's been absent since way before 615. I'm sure when she read that chapter and saw Naruto holding Hinata's hand she must have rolled her eyes and say Kishi is trolling with the fandom as usual.
