After that I'm putting number on the biggest dumbass in distress over Bella Swan. 

?

Movie wise, supposedly. Holding hands was supposed to be another one, but that's disregarded for whatever reason. The problem is lack of developments between two. Also, another pairing kept overshadowing it from story point of view, so when it happened, it didn't have that much credibility. It made it worse when the movie skipped to the moment he's already in love rather than sinking in.

That was my problem with NaruHina, there wasn't much development, and partially because I did not like Hinata. 

Pretty much.

Wasn't this the only event that supported NaruHina really well or were there other stuff in the manga which hinted naruhina?

No. She didn't kick them off in the manga.

As for its place in Naruhina, if Kishi wanted he could have started to develop their relationship from that point. There was some wiggle room since Hinata wasn't killed. But unfortunately he didn't

So essentially, she was committing suicide for the blind love of naruto?

Night and day different. In manga:

 

-The fight lasted only 3 panels.

-The confession went by like 2-3 pages.

-Hinata went in and get knocked out by one move.

-Hinata was not in equal footing with Pain at all. It's like watching level 99 pokemon vs. level 1.

-Naruto never got anything to say or ask.

 

Yeah, I wouldn't know if it was that important. Apparently, it means a lot to the point Naruto forgot for 2 years.

Did hinata do anything to remove the rods from naruto or she just fought pain?
