Oh yeah I know that. Do the deluded loonies know? Nah they are in denial even if they did. Anyways that is JUST REINFORCING MY POINT. It does not make sense from any sort of logical writing perspective. It was ALL BECAUSE Hinata, the shy, unassuming, fan girl of Naruto "deserves him" because she will never get with him from a logical plot structure or even a romance plot structure so they threw logic and development out the window. I think I've said this before, but "The Last: Naruto the movie" should have actually been called "Hinata: Road to Naruto's C%&* the movie", BECAUSE I SEE NO MEANINGFUL AND EMOTIONALLY OPEN NOR EQUAL RELATIONSHIP.

Out of universe because she was suppose to be the love interest of Naruto based on either Kishimoto's type or his future wife.

 

In universe. How the academy sets up teams. Naruto was overall worst in the class, so they put the two of the best in the class to balance him out: Sasuke (talent) & Sakura (academic.) She was the best girl out of the class that wasn't already assigned to a team: Hinata was put on as a tracking team, and Ino was this generations Ino-Shika-Cho. Tradition. Tsunade once mentioned that the Third like putting together teams that were very simliar to old teams -like Ino-Shika-Cho-, and Sakura was very much like Tsunade and Rin. She had vast intelligence, and good chakra control so she could be a great support by learning either or both genjutsu and medical ninjutsu. Jinchuriku's are put onto team that can control them, and handle the tailed beast if it comes out; Kakashi and Sasuke had the Sharingan to handle the kyuubi, but Sakura was suppose to keep Naruto under control by his feeling toward her. Breeding. She was attracted to Sasuke, and Naruto was attracted to her. It she gets with either of them more future soldiers is a win. OR, MK, Sakura's own parent, JT, and from what little we saw even Sarutobi and his own wife are all very similar to NS. So he was probably hoping that Naruto and Sakura would strike up a similar relationship.

Despite all those parallels, it still wasn't enough for the fandom and continued to demand NH even if it didn't make sense at the end and also having no similarities to the other pairings in the manga and anime. There is a reason Hinata played a background role, while Sakura was on Team 7. And Bail pointed them out. She was the best at academics, which says she is smarter than Hinata and Naruto was in love with her. Hinata was nothing more than a tracker.

dithered a bit about answering this because ive covered it elsewhere in different form.

​I'm pretty much of the opinion that Sakura was originally added as a bit of an after thought initially. An editorial suggestion to add ina  love interest and a rival character.

 

She was some what shallow and girly but as the story progressed I believe the characters growth while a bit clumsy in spots was exponential. 

 

I also remain firm in the belief that she was designed as the story progressed to move away from Sasukes arc and towards Narutos arc which is why the pair of them were shown together so often and why their growths paralleled each other so much., As well its why there were so many supported parallels with Minato and Kushina and Obito and Rin and Tsunade and Jiraiya,

 

ultimately her character was torpedoed do to editorial interference pushing a pairing agenda but prior to that I believe she was meant to be there as a stabilizing factor balancing the pair of main characters out.

 

I also believe she was meant to be our audience insert into the world, which is why her background was so basic, were able to see ourselves in her
