Really at this point, its just still hard to believe how people still just say Sakura loves Sasuke and assume naruto will just love hinata, its still just funny how despite all arguements, people expect Sakura's growth to naruto to just end, I mean its seriously a good question many NH fans should be asking themselves right now, why in the biggest time of the manga, when the hero is approaching deaths door, if NH were to come true, why not include Hinata in the situation? Why include Sakura and then after all these events until he recovers, if Sakura reveals more towards him, then how can people still just expect NH to come? Its really just taking that red herring arguement which not only died, its like its corpse is getting stabbed, its just again, if NS was not to go anywhere beyond friendhship then just why bother, why bother with it all if NH was only planned to instantly/ hardly happen by practically no development? Is it because Hinata always liked him? Is that really the only reason now? Really a good difference and justifcation for NS at this point is just because we had that growth from sakura to naruto, she changed around him, its just more dynamic. Its like would you rather have seen naruto become hokage in the way sasuke is trying too (the old way by seeking power) or in the way he eventually found out (trust and support in friends and willing to protect them). I wouldnt want to see sasuke get hokage since his version is the same as narutos old one, but much darker. It just honeslty makes no sense at this point, we are to basically just dismiss everything sakura has at this point even the current situation and just expect NH to come from what little development it does have and SS to come because of basically the same reasons even though they are much more negative? Really at this point, SS is just rendered impossible to occur and NH is quickly approaching that. I would rather NS because of that growth and change in dynamics, its like seriously people know sasuke will change for the better in the end but why would they expect sakura to never change her view to naruto depsite everything that has occured? I may be a guy that doesn't always like convinence for a story, but geez its unfortinante but true about Hinata, shes more of a plot device now than an actual character, if its really only her love for naruto keeping her in the story, thats not good at all. Really people even claiming if hinata and sakuras intial crushes arn't going to go, then what about naruto, well simple answer is, naruto is the hero, his goals override all, story is about him, first character first serve. And its not like naruto actually didnt go anywhere with his crush on sakura, he did learn many things about her and why he came to love her, chapter 3 was the start but the other events like the promise, 457 as what sai revealed to sakura, he had more reason for it, mainly sacrificing his own happiness for hers but this impacted not only him but also sakura. In effect, his crush on her is part of the promise, one of the bigger story elements, its part of his character, its part of his development, hence its more central to the story than hinatas for him. Sakuras changing view on naruto has obviously been part of her development, but its also her own crush on sauske that gave her development, a form of antagonism on her part, its been a hard truth for her to accept and see how her actions impacted naruto despite her feelings for sasuke. She saw the dark side of sasuke and almost died by his hand 3 times, yet she still had feelings, but they were feelings which didn't sit well with her, 635 made it clear, if she doesn't trust sasuke then thats really not good for SS cause lets all face it, whats a good relationship built on? Anyone, its a t-word, oh yeah, TRUST!
Even the arguement of 469 killing NS, again, I am amazed so many fans just take direct words as the words they want to hear, not the dialouge following or other reasons for it. NS was never killed, it was just left unanswered. Really the whole prospect for this because it occurs just 12 chapters after 457, it seriously makes no sense, we have naruto in this scene being dissapointed because he cannot fulfill something he sees as very important to sakura and himself and then when she does confess (in an effort to protect him) they basically expect like naruto suddenly snapped and said "know what screw this I don't like her anymore" seriously the whole context of us the audience learning about why naruto doesnt tell his feelings to sakura, only for sakura to react at how saddening it is for naruto to deal with the promise, in an effort to protect him by confessing, to him even questioning why she did it after which sai reveals why and said it was partically his fault, people still think he is over her? They seriously think kishi just made sakura have that trip to end NS and thats it? Looking back at then and now, the whole arguement of 469, its just downright rediculous at this point, it was never resolved back then with a clear answer to how he felt towards her, we got 631, the whole concept is just bonkers in its own right, I mean we get these big events to just suddenly end 12 chapters later? That makes no sense at all. It makes no sense for sakura to travel out only for NS to suddenly end, then we get the kushina foreshadow which was later applied to sakura and now this moment, and all the stuff people expect for Hinata, its been sakura getting all the time. I really dont understand the excuses at this point, anything sakura does, its not going to lead anywhere or its all a joke or misleading us while some of them are perfectly acceptable or even allowing of hinata yet kishi leaves hinata in the dirt (literally as of last time we saw her). This arguement is just as bad as people who seriously use the sakura was going to abandon the leaf to join sasuke in the land of iron, for the last time she was lying to get close to him in an attempt to kill him. I seriously am at a loss for words when people just follow words blindly.
Right now, the current situation is definately a pro NS time, but even then people are still making excuses that everything we think is development of her moving closer to him, its just not going to matter because NH and SS are so assured to come because they are obvious, they don't need development, screentime, character investment, growth, dynamics, etc. Its just going to happen because screw logic, its what the fans demand. 
It just makes no sense at this point. No sense at all that NS couldn't happen, these coming weeks may very well be the end of the war, Im not declaring victory but seriously sakura meeting minato again and the reaction to the recovery are 2 events NH fans and SS fans should be worried about. I'm not saying anything big will happen, but the record speaks for itself, NH and SS are not just going to happen, NS isnt either but it has a road of development enabling it too. NH and SS hardly have any road, you cannot go anywhere in a story if theres no path leading to it, sudden reveals that conflict with other story elements and character mentalities is just another thing that cannot occur either, it seems NH and SS rely on instantaneous randomized events, thats not something you should rely on, it just leaves it undependable and unpredictable, story elements that lead somewhere give you predictable events that may come. NS has given us TONS and I mean TONS of these, this is why we see the current situation of sakura healing naruto, not hinata because what could she have done in the situation? healed him by her pure compassion for him? Sorry love is an emotion, not an ability, it can only get you so far, its not the answer to everything. Sakura healing naruto AND being concerned/possibly revealing more, is a combination of action AND development on her part. NH hasnt given us much to work with, its depressing but true. As I said before, if we cannot predict much of what Hinata can lead us too, then what can we honestly expect from her?
Each chapter that passes, each time hinata does something that doesnt get more built on it, each time kishi throws something else at NS, then what can we honestly expect from either NH or SS at this point? Each chapter we get showing more NS and not the others, it equals to both NH and SS becoming impossible.
