Hahaha, you guys are so fun to read. I've read at least 40 pages of this thread and I have to say that I love your overreacting. I mean I overreact too. And I actually love it. I don't really understand why people are saying that they are leaving this forum because NS-fandom is depressing and constantly overreacting. Isn't it what makes it fun? I would hate it if we had a solid proof by now that NS will be canon. I love how all this NH teasing keeps our blood boiling. And that we are searching for little hints to feel safe. And that even a ship-tease can make us shiver.
Listen, this is all a good thing. All this teasing and promoting of NH all of a sudden is because love theme is going to be a big part of the movie. And that is actually a great thing, because we all love shipping and because we won't get an open ending. We will actually see a lot of romantic stuff that we imagined could happen. It won't end with a single page depicting Naruto being Hokage and some picture of his family on his desk (with the girl being half in the dark, so we can only guess that she is who she is).
We were doubting that Kishi will give us any meaningful romantic scenes, like Naruto's confession and a kiss, because of Sakura's "outburst" and because there are only 4 chapters left. We could be left with nothing rewarding for our years of dedicated shipping. Now we will most likely get everything.
And Hinata has to be there. C'mon guys, if the movie has to resolve the romantic theme, which is one of the few themes, and maybe the last MAJOR theme that is left unresolved in the manga (other than Naruto becoming Hokage, I guess), Hinata has to be there. If NS is canon, Hinata is bound to react in some way. Will you be content if Hinata's love to Naruto just ends up hanging in the dark like it never existed? Like her confession that wasn't referenced? I won't. If Naruto and Sakura choose each other (and they will), Hinata must have some kind of closure. And the romantic conflict between NS and NH is so potent, that I don't see how the creators of the movie wouldn't want to use it to spice up the final movie.
What I am trying to say is that all this NH teasing is good for us, because it will make final resolution of pairing war more fulfilling. There won't be any development left hanging, Hinata's included.
