When sit down, think, and re-read the early volumes of part 1, then you'll discover that James was right concerning NH & SS. NH has a greater chance of happening than SS. But both pairings are one-sided on the girls not the boys.

 

NH: Naruto will acknowledge Hinata but he doesn't love her. I think Hinata knows that he wants Sakura despite her own personal feelings. I wonder if she knows that Sakura knows her feelings for Naruto. Won't be surprise if she tries to push this pairing because she feels undeserving of Naruto (remember Sai's speech that she's part of Naruto's pain). It could be Hinata making the final push to NS while abandoning hope of romance with Naruto. If she truly and unselfishly loves him then by right help him get the woman he loves. Then again it could be Kishi last minute desire to set these two up but it will be rushed and I would hate that! Rather see some development than a last minute stint. The fans deserve that much :ermm:

 

SS: Whoever still holding the torch of hope should just water the flame out because it is not happening. Kishi killed it a long time and this pairing is officially dead. Naruto may try to tempt it but Sakura will shut it down! Honestly this pairing only going strong because many NH fans don't want NS thus shouting out for this pairing but dead! Sadly they must get that through their head! :wallbash:

 

NS: The most probable and most evident pairing of all! Kishi had many characters (including Sasuke) pushing forward this pairing. In part 1, Naruto and Sakura look passed pretenses and began to develop an comedy and modest friendship. Yes, Sakura was abusive towards Naruto but there were times that he deserve it and should have known better plus he was very annoying :down: nobody not even NS fans can deny that! Then he made than POAL which strengthen their relationship significantly as we see in part 2 where roles kind of switch. Sakura does what she can to make Naruto happy as he pursues Sasuke, interesting huh? :wha: Now we have come to a point where both sides admit love, care, sacrifice, and etc... Besides a tragedy event, I think the best character for the final push is Hinata. YES HINATA!!! Sakura has her doubts and unworthiness to Naruto while Hinata tells her otherwise which will encourage her to pursue Naruto :narusaku: . Sai already woken them both of mutual feelings but Naruto chased her enough so now it's Sakura's turn. The only hundle is the Sasuke issue which I won't get into since everyone knows that goes.

Sushi: Well, your point is very valid after all. :smile:
 
Zac: Sorry for taking so long to edit it. But its done now, so thanks for the help. If by any chance something else arises, feel free to let me know. :smile:
 
Brander: what? XD
(If you're serious though, I can try to summarize it to you in a PM if you want to. After all, it took me some time to compose this).
 
Hopestar: Yeah, just like I told James. After reading a few chapters while doing this study, I realized that I was wrong about my statement. You bring up some good points. One in particular caught my attention, though. As soon as I read the part about Hinita making the final push for NS, a scene from the movie Scott Pilgrim vs The World came to mind which had a similar interaction, to say it like that (one girl who loves the main character actually motivates him to go for the girl that he fought for all along). I can't say that I'm too attracted to this idea, but considering that I also saw something like this happening even in another manga, I don't consider it a bad idea either.
 
Anyway, I wish I could write more, but I feel very tired (1:41am right now). I did, however, wanted to give a reply because I've been distracted these days with other things. ^_^;;
 
Anyway, thanks to everyone who took their time to read and reply. Keep your faith strong, since that faith will explode into joy if NS becomes canon, which I find it almost guaranteed to happen (there's always the benefit of the doubt due to the fact that Kishi can do anything he wishes with the manga, but I have faith that what he has shown us so far is leading to our beloved NS to be canon). :smile:
