The only thing I can say that might even give the slightest slimmer of hope is that Naruto only views this as a friendship thing and that Hinata will see that Sakura is the one for Naruto.
However I highly doubt this and even if Naruto did look at is at a friendship stand point, this is likely just to push the two together more and more through out the time in the manga until the 99.9% becomes 100%
What I'll never understand is all this build up with naruto and Sakura. From when he got back (Starting of Naruto Part 2) till now. There was little to nothing (or just a few rare moments for her) going with Hinata until she declared she wanted to hold his hand during a fierce battle to the death (Which is beyond me why anyone would do that unless some how gave them mystical power or need two people to do a high level jutsu) The development is trash and I'm still furious about it. Naruto and Sakura's friendship will always be weird and in bad taste now because of the way they act towards each other.
Well to me the ship is likely sunk and I'm drowning. Though the spirit of this ship will live on and I believe in that. If we are extremely lucky maybe Kishi will pull off a manga miracle for us and we will make it on our last legs.
What sucks the most is I really loved Sakura's character and how she was with Naruto. It brought life to the manga.
Calm down lol. Didn't you see Sakura's reaction in this chapter to all of the NH nonsense?
I only saw one panel of her reaction and it more looked like the situation not what might actually be developing from the two. So I don't know where this Sakura's reaction is coming from and how it effects what has happened.
