Why do you think the Uchiha's clan restoration is such a big deal for Sasuke? Or it's an important plot for Kishimoto? It's only been mentioned twice in 448 chapters. And one of them was in Chapter 3, long before Sauke became utterly and fully obsessed with his revenge.
Why do you think Kishimoto's intent is restoring Uchiha's clan?
Truthfully, I think he should end up alone. Sasuke and romance DON'T mix. But regarding a possible wife... Sakura confessed, got rejected, has apparently moved on and isn't liable to fall in for a traitor. And Sasuke has never shown romantic feelings towards her. In fact, in the second part, hasn't shown feelings for her whatsoever.
Meanwhile we have Karin. She's also a Sasuke's fangirl, but she's able tell when he makes something dumb. And Sasuke HAS shown he cares in some level for her. It seems to me Kishimoto designed her character for becoming Sasuke's possible girlfriend.
I think that's important, because they are one of the greatest clans that ever lived. But, also, they're one of the worst. So, I thought, maybe in the end, Sasuke won't continue the bloodline, because something like this might happen again in the future. I mean, he got mad that Konoha would order Itachi to kill his family so no evil would come out of it, right?
Hmmm...You're right. Karin is NOW the #1 most possible wife. I mean, they have worked together already for some time. Can you please show me any manga chapters that have Sasuke x Karin material in it? I just want to see, and I'm having such a hard time
accepting it. Hahaha!
I mean, I've always liked Sasuke since the beginning of the show, because all of the other cute guys were taken. Yeah, his attitude is...bleh...but, well, I admit I didn't care. He's fictional, for crying out loud. My imagination would always show him a soft side that he would only show to the girl he loves. (Like a super genuine smile...or a soft spot for stuffed toys.)
Yes, I'm crazy, but I'm just a kid.
WHAT decisive clues are piling up for the latter? Please, tell me.
Sorry! I guess I overreacted. When I wrote this topic, it was already 10:30 pm in my country, and I really needed to go to sleep, but I wanted to let this out first. Well, when I read the confession of Hinata (Manga Chapter 437), it was exam week, and I just turned 13, so, everything was so busy around me, and when I continued to read the remaining pages, I saw a line, after he talked with his father. It's not exactly accurate, but I remember Naruto asking about how Hinata was doing. My brain overloaded, and I think I got this wrong impression that maybe NaruHina was starting to happen, and maybe Masahi Kishimoto wanted it that way since in one interview I saw on the Internet, he created Hinata as Naruto's love interest, or something like that. (I'm not entirely sure with the information that I get since well, there are a lot of fake stuff floating around anyway.)
My conclusion is that maybe there are no clues anyway, just a few detours/teasers. Awww...I hate myself. Sorry for being confused. Hahaha!
Ino anounced her love for Sasuke in front of him. He didn't reciprocate her feelings.
Lee confessed Sakura and got almost killed for saving her. Still, Sakura didn't return his feelings. There never were scenes building up Sakura's love for Lee. Thus, Lee's confession and brave act didn't change in the slightest her love for Sasuke or her growing feelings for Naruto.
Sakura confessed Sasuke. Still, there never were scenes where Sasuke built up romantic feelings towards Sakura. He didn't love her and his revenge was more important, so he rejected her. And Sakura moved on. Sakura's confession and rejection allowed her leave behind her childhood crush and focusing on her ever-growing feelings towards Naruto.
Rin also confessed Kakashi, and got rejected. Are you seeing a pattern?
Yes, I do! Awesome examples, by the way. You really analyzed these things, didn't you?
Hinata has confessed to Naruto. Yet, there're no scenes showing Naruto developing feelings towards her.
Hinata is a very minor secondary character. She barely shows up. Therefore, If Kishimoto intended pairing them up, he should have used all Hinata's appearances to romantically develop their relationship. Though, he has wasted BLATANT chances for developing a romance between them. NaruHina scenes have always been one-sided: Hinata crushing on Naruto, and Naruto remaining unaware of it. There's not scenes showing Naruto has steadily been falling in love with Hinata. Jesus, they haven't got a decent conversation in three hundred chapters.
Therefore, I don't think that scene was done for developing NaruHina, but for developing HINATA. Now she's managed becoming stronger and more assertive. I suspect Naruto will turn her gently down or she'll step aside, and she'll get over it, become stronger and find another love, right like Sakura did.
But why did Kishimoto wrote that scene? Hinata crushing on Naruto and wanting changing was a dangling plotline since the Chuunin exams. Kishimoto also can decide close that loose end. It doesn't mean he'll close it for pairing them up.
Yeah, maybe. I just wish I didn't get confused. You're right, actually. I think that the manga is somehow near to its end, because of the slow destruction of the Akatsuki, anything left would be the Uchiha problem, and ta-dah, it's finished. So maybe Kishi just wanted to tie up the loose ends before finishing. I mean, example, the mystery of what is really under the mask of Kakashi, or, who will everyone end up with, and of course, the Uchiha clan problem.
You gave a great explanation! Awesomeness.
I've said this before: we -presumably- think Naruto will end up with Sakura due to the steady and constant development that relationship has got since the begining of the series. Naruto has stated he loves Sakura and has proved it with words, facts and thoughts. And he still loves Sakura. Sakura's relationship with Naruto has greatly evolved through the entire series, she's became closer to him, and hints have been given she's fallen in love with him (True, Kishimoto has wasted some chances for developing it further, but Sakura is the lead female character, so he can afford it). Has Chapter 437 somehow nullified all that development somehow?
Now, regarding the eight-tailed fox... Naruto DIDN'T, I repeat, DIDN'T draw eight tails out when Hinata got hurt. He drew SIX tails. He draw eight tails out later, when Kyuubi was tempting him, its power was leaking and he was too weak for stopping it. Do you remember nobody mentioned Hinata in those scenes? Pain was questioning his ideals, and Naruto talked Minato about his murdered sensei and his destroyed village.
And why did he drew six tails out? Pain had killed Jiraiya. And Kakashi (or so Naruto believes). And a lot of people. And obliterated the village Naruto had vowed protecting, hurting his precious people. And now he was questioning his ideals, his dreams, his goals.
And then one girl, whom he had never noticed, interferes because she was in love with him. And Pain slaughters her brutally (or so all thought).
Another person has been killed because he wasn't strong enough. No, it was way worse. She's been killed because she cared for him. In one fashion, he's responsible for her death and/or injuries.
Wouldn't you be upset? I would be.
He didn't draw six tails out only because Hinata got hurt, but because Jiraiya was dead, Kakashi was dead, Konoha was destroyed, a lot of people was hurt or dead, his dreams could be foolish fantasies, and one friend of his got killed. He was already furious, desperate and upset, and Hinata was the straw broke the camel's back. She wasn't the sole trigger.
God, NaruSaku has got a two-sided development through 400+ chapters, NaruHina hasn't got any in over three hundred chapters, but everyone is panicking because Hinata has confessed.
Of course, it's also possible Kishimoto thinks differently, and he gets Naruto and Hinata together. But, seriously, is it such big of a deal? I preffer NaruSaku, and nothing will change that in this point. This is a fictional tale, they are fictional characters, so let's stop take everything so seriously and overthink things.
They're just fictional, of course I know that! Well, thanks for clearing that up for me. Not everything is crystal clear, but at least I got some stuff out of this.
Ohhh...so he only turned 6-tails? Ahhh, yeah! I remember reading that part. My excuse, as usual, was confusion and exams! Now I remember, thank you, Jenskott!
Last question, did Kakashi really die? (No, no, no! He's one of my favorites.)

By the way, the one with "The Tale of Gallant Jiraiya" or something, I remember seeing that particular tale in Wikipedia, in Jiraiya's profile. I'll read it soon, so I hope things would be a little more transparent for me.

Thanks to everyone who replied and gave me more information! You were all so helpful. Thank you again.
If others want to state their opinions, please feel free to do so. I would be delighted, since I would be learning something new, and maybe other NaruSaku'ers too.

This is such a long rant. I hope you're not mad at me. I just talk too much when I'm excited!
