NS was clearly growing into something else, but maybe the story grew in a direction that he didn't initially anticipate. Maybe he tried to go in that direction, but realized that to flesh it out would take too much time, so he went back to the planned ending which was already down on paper and therefore less work. I've tried to rationalize Kishi's decision to have Sakura and Sasuke end up together and the only one that makes even a bit of sense is that Kishi wanted her to achieve her 'goal' and keep her word from Part 1. Maybe in his mind, he was respecting Sakura's wishes. I will probably never be able to understand his viewpoint on the matter since I'm not a Japanese guy.
Why should Kishi let achieve Sakura her goal ? Naruto is the main character, not Sakura, Kishi should more respecting the wish of his main character and let him achieve his goal, that he wish as most of the world ?
Ok some guys will say now, Hokage is that he wish as most of the world, but that a interesting question,
what are you think guys, what wish Naruto as most of the wolrd, Sakura or to be the next Hokage ?
