From takl
^His translation. He is an unbiased (does not ship anything) guy from Japan that has been translating on NF for a long time now.
^Referring to us, and Kishi did not be specific when he "thought" about NS.
^The part about Sakura always being devoted or wholeheartedly about Sasuke is true. Meaning she never changed her feelings and never loved Naruto.
I've gone and read a few different translations and opinions.... It really does seem to me like NaruHina indeed was Kishi's intended pairing for a long time, even before NaruSaku. =/ Sorry guys.. He only "thought about/considered" Sakura ending up with Naruto and that was most likely after he planned for Hinata to be the one. His thought process went like this "NH -> NS -> NH". The reason he didn't do NS wasn't because of NH though. It was because of Sakura loving Sasuke for far too long in the manga already and it would make her look bad if she changed her feelings so "late".
Oh that guidebook picture Hinata looks weird to me. Her chest is... bleh.
The part he thought about NS is early part 2, this is obvious
But if this is true then he is a true kitten. There was no need to put that kushina paralallel over there, or even the CPR scene.Was he leading us out? This is sick
And Sasuke during part 1 cared for sakura... the same as he cared for Naruto, they were his teammates after all.
And the part about sakura not changing her feelings so she does not appear as a fickle girl is a little sexist... This means people need to stay with their first crushs for forever and ever? Couldn't sakura at least move on from this toxic relationship, she didn't even needed to stay with naruto, just if she showed a little self respect it would've been more acceptable.
And also i don't but kishi saying he planned NH from the beginning, my opinion is that he didn't think of romance at all in part 1
