Well in the omake with Sakura talking about Hinata's ending credits, Naruto does say that the staff just let the stuff with Hinata get out of hand so its like they are mocking that. I mean the simple quote of Kishi from 2010 saying Hinata would make a better heroine at the time was attributed into this one too.
But they never mention how after this statement Kishi continued stating how Sakura does display the potential and can fulfill it and that he would try to have her fulfill it. This is both after the pain and reunion of team 7 events. Yet given the overblown proportion of Hinata and even a few insane fans trying to censor stuff or jump to conclusions just always leave this stuff out because if its Sakura and Naruto relation related, they just try to white it out.
I mean they act like this despite Kishi confirming the love triangle for team 7 is still on. We even have more reason stating Naruto still loves Sakura despite the fact that the manga has not given a clear answer yet we still get a filler (ep235) showing him currently in love with her after the fake confession (it does not count but hey its the only notion) even then we have many story and logical based reasons for him still being in love with Sakura and just how NH cannot happen without damaging the story.
For the record, he said it could be easier to do heroine with Hinata but she's not the heroine as Sakura got different task in mind. He had to defend Sakura because he got frustrated with people telling him about Hinata, hence "People would say 'Hinata, Hinata'. I say she's not Hinata." Honestly, it would have been a boring one if she was a heroine. While I understand want more fights with her, her mental developments are done well and still in progress. I don't think Kishi knew that people wants more than that, which is why he thought he was doing good enough but now, he is going to do more to her. Plus, in many interviews, they ask about her and he will answer them. We hardly hear anything about Hinata from him unless it's about design such as RtN and that's it. Really, she's a minor character and Kishi did promise a Sakura's development or year, so yeah, there you have it.
Now I think about it, I think the studio went all out because honestly, before that moment, there's little to no Hinata, not even the Three-tailed beast filler arc. So you can say they waited this long to do this.
Now then, time to read Chatte's post.
