According to the recent interview NS could have happened but he somehow thought Sakura would be a bad women to leave Sasuke, also states he decided on Hinata a long time ago. (That made me puke).
IMO he decided around the Pain arc that NH would happen. When she tries to save Naruto but if he decided on Hinata why lead NS on. Why have Sakura hug him, why have his mother say what she did, why have him say Sakura was his girlfriend. Either you just decided recently to make it Hinata or you are a complete ass to lead a fandom on.
Did Kishimoto somehow think NS was not going to get lead on?
At the end of the day you suck at development Kishimoto whether it be women or romance, you suck LOL and you also have a f**cked up mind. Sakura a terrible women. Please.
If she still rejects Naruto and goes after Sasuke.
I dont know if I would like her still. I mean I love Sakura, she has developed so much from part 1 but if she still chases after Sasuke after all thats happened I would not be able to respect her anymore.
Now I am not saying she needs to love Naruto but she needs to forget about Sasuke.
