I think that's kind of the point, Naruto is the hardworking individual, Sasuke is the cheap hax who gets powerups and loses anyway.

I actually had a similar thought process as soon as Hinata was revealed to be barely alive, for her to pass on Hinata's will of Naruto to Sakura..Kishimoto stated that Sakura will have to grow up..and this..leaving it all in Sakura's hands would be an accurate representation of that. Sakura's running out of chakra from healing all of the people in her hospital as it is, its not too far fetched to believe that she's run out of chakra or Hinata was too far gone to make it. And as for the people saying "NaruHina would have only happend because Hinata died", its BS because the author makes the rules & scenarios(no matter how unlogical they may seem) and beyond that, Naruto hardly knows the girl on that level anyway, who's to say he'd have returned her feelings had she lived if she were indeed to die?

If Hinata IS living after all of that..there's a chance that she won't be for very long...one of my intended scenario's is exemplified in the "Sakura recognizes the Kyuubi Chakra and goes off, finds Hinata close to death"

Sakura would cry, try to heal Hinata but is shellshocked to find she doesn't have anymore chakra left to heal him.

"Take care of Narutokun for me Sakura-San"

Sakura's pretty hysterical at this point.

"Why me!?"

Hinata only smiles a bit and looks up at her with blood trailing gathering more and more underneath her.

"I always wondered why Naruto-kun cared about you so much, when you hit him and ridiculed him all the time, but now..i realize that his eyes were always reflected back at you.."

And then she puts her hands on Sakura's cheek ;_;

"Because your eyes, when reflected in the mirror i found, are the same as mine."



(PS I also found H/HR and N/S similar(along with SS/RHR and HG/NH, although you could also see a few similarities with RHR and NS as well.)

Hinata getting with Naruto at this stage of the game without proper development or even proper reciprocation is something that i don't see Kishi doing..my only concern is that he'll succumb to pressure from the peanut gallery(aka 2ch) and do something completely illogical.
