So here's a question? What's the most obvious parallel right off the bat?
No i think Obi/Rin was first(correcting my statement).
Because Kushina didnt had a clarified personality when she first showed up, she looked a bit shy however but that was reasonable since she was pregnant and was being introduced to Jiraiya.(so it was embarassment at first).
When she was shown on the second time, Kishi worked on her character and when she hit Naruto there and was used to say ~tebane~ it got clear that he was inspired by Sakura to make Naruto's mother.
