I'm guessing that Kishimoto has either recently suffered from amnesia and has forgotten about the development for Sasuke and possible NaruSaku.
Or...he's pulling a Stephenie Meyer and is trying to please ALL the readers and he certainly isn't doing a very good job of it.
Either way I'm loosing interest in this series and I'm completely confused by what is actually happening. As of now I have a feeling that NH and SS is looking very possible. That or he's trolling the fans.
But I'm also seeing Sasuke going to the battlefield will be a way of Sakura getting over him. Which isn't a very good idea

Personally I am not a big fan of Hinata and I find her to be a bit of a Mary-Sue. Meaning that she seems to perfect from my perspective. I know her as a character has flaws but her fans make her out to be this goddess and they have ruined Hinata for me. I don't mind people favouring Hinata over my favourite characters but if they constantly compare Hinata to another character especially when Hinata does not interact with the said character then it becomes annoying.
Now I find that what drives Hinata's character is mainly Naruto. I wouldn't say that's the only thing though, but it sure looks that way. But that's my bias talking.
My respect for Hinata seems to go up and down like a yoyo. One minute I start thinking hey she's not all bad, but she'd prove me wrong somehow. Like chapter 615 for example. Her speech was inpiration for Naruto and gave him a confidence boost instead of it being the other way around. But the only problem here is that some Hinata/NaruHin fans forget that it was Kurama who restores Naruto's confidence, not that Hinata didn't. She did but Naruto still had his doubts. I have to admit that I liked that speech and my respect for Hinata was the highest it had ever been...right up to the point when she made that comment on Naruto's big warm hand it was shattered into tiny pieces within seconds after reading that one panel.
I felt that was uncalled for really. Her cousin died protecting her, sure she cried but she bounced back quite quickly...a little too quickly considering the two of them had developed a bond. I would have preferred it if Hinata had thought of something about Neji possibly avenging his death or something along those lines.
Hinata seems to be a character that a lot of people can relate to. Hinata kind of shows that if you work hard you can change yourself. This is a good thing, but not when it's for someone else. Hinata wants to change for Naruto. It would be a lot better if she wanted to change herself for herself and no one else. I would like Hinata's character if she had the goal to prove her father wrong and become head of the Hyuga household. Not for a crush on a guy who considered her to be a weirdo back in part one. She should be loved for who she is and she shouldn't have to change.
I also find that Hinata's love for Naruto is not really real. I find that she doesn't know him enough to actual accept him. I find that she only loves this strong confident shinobi who never gives up no matter what and doesn't know him well enough to truly love him. Despite what a lot of NaruHina fans say. I don't believe in love at first sight nor do I believe that someone could possibly fall in love with someone without knowing anything about them. Her love for Naruto is selfish and to me is she is in fact a fact a Fangirl.

Naruto wants Sakura to come to him on her own free will not out of pity or any other reason like that.
After Sakura confessed her love to Naruto he was surprised and looked quite happy to the fact she had finally said those three words to him. But it was only when she started talking about how she no longer cares for Sasuke. Which we all no isn't true. She does but it is obvious she cares for Naruto more. But she has to prove that to Naruto.
Naruto is a stubborn individual and refuses to believe that Sakura may actually be in love with him, his mental state for years has been constantly saying "Sakura-chan is completely in love with Sasuke, she'll never love me" Even Sakura's words didn't sway him, he still sees a 12 year old genin who was obsessed with Sasuke.
She has to prove herself, which I think she'll do in later chapters when the await Sakura character development takes place

I think we won't get to see any Sakura development until later chapters, thinking back to chapter 573 (if I remember correctly) we see rookie nine making promises to Naruto and how they will support him.

Who was the first to make a promise?

Who was the first to receive character development?
Hinata

I believe that we see a lot more development of other characters before we see any of Sakura's.
Kishimoto is saving the best till last

Reading through other member's opinions, I'm gaining a lot more faith in NaruSaku still having a chance of becoming canon at the end. I watched a Naruto review video by Sawyer7mage and a lot of people have been ranting on about how NaruHina is now canon. Even Sawyer7mage himself believe it is now canon. I've been told that I need to grow up and accept the facts. This one fan seemed to get too defensive and was getting angry at my own personal opinion of what this chapter could indicate. I've also been called an idiot...nice to know how kind some NaruHina fans are. Although I have spoke to one fan that actually agrees that NaruHina is NOT canon.
