What I want to know about all this is if NaruHina is really intended to be endgame, isn't this advertisement and "teasing" making it a bit too obvious when the manga officially ends in 2 weeks?
I mean sure we already know that Hinata loves Naruto, but the fact remains that her character and relevance doesn't tie into Naruto's story or life in any meaningful and significant way. Rather than Kishimoto force Hinata to be in situations with Naruto, his life and journey on a regular basis, in a more involving and significant way (like with the Kyuubi, Uzumaki clan and Sasuke pursuit, he instead decided to create Yamato and involve Sakura with the Kyuubi aspect, and then introduce Sai and involve Sakura again with the Sasuke pursuit arc. Spin it however you want but Hinata's relevance and importance to Naruto and his goals / dreams has been infrequent and minimal. Instead, we have a main character who has had an established love interest since chapter 3 and has shown no signs of moving on yet.
Not once have we seen a scene where Hinata thought about or cared about Naruto's dreams, feelings or current goals. Rather, she's been used as a plot device with lack of proper development and once used quickly thrown into the background. She really is a side character right down to the core.
Not that I am denying NaruHina's chances but this advertising, if NaruHina is endgame, is odd and making things a bit too obvious considering the way the source material has set up relationships and the fact that it hasn't finished yet. It really doesn't sound like Naruto has feelings for Hinata at the start of the movie as well. At best, development is one-sided, infrequent and fragmented and at worst lacks the interaction and substance of NaruSaku on a platonic level. Why if Hinata was meant to be Naruto's love interest wasn't she given the same level of importance, comparison, screentime and development as Sakura and why was it that at the last minute Sakura as a love interest was dumped and the honour given to a side character to be resolved in a movie reeks of terrible writing any way you look at it.
Oh well. Just going to assume it's NaruHina and drop everything. Tired of this.
