His main rescue interest? You mean Hanabi? Lol
Anyway, just because Hinata has been featured, it doesn't mean she's going have any more of a role than anyone else on that team. SP did the same thing for RTN, they hyped her up, and then she wasn't all that big.
First of all, they hyped a Tsukiyomi!Hinata that time. And despite her minor role, it was her alter self (and Sasuke) who was turning heads.
Hinata's little sister has been kidnapped, it guarantees her a big role in the movie.
I wonder was narrator's phrase "...sure Naruto will be..." planned to say by SP or was told unintentionally. You know, if the second, then I'm not surprised by all this NH hypestorm SP created. Maybe so they try to distract everyone's attention from narrator's words which revealed true pairing.
And even if it the first case, they also might give us small hint on the true pairing (NS), and then just pull out the dozens of hints on the fake pairing (NH) to confuse everyone.
SP was not in charge of making the game. And the original Japanese team with Naruto and Hinata was called "Secret Lovers" thanks to a translation screw-up. The original Japanese supposedly called them "Secret Loves", in the sense that Hinata and Naruto both have people the secretly like.
