Alright, I'm tired of this. SO TIRED. I've read almost all the comments. I've read the mangá and watched the anime(English subtitled and dubbed) and let me make this clear to any of you people who have the whole main male protagonist goes to main female protagonist cliche. I will give you ten reasons why things will probably happen the way I say and not the way they would happen normally.
1;Yes, Naruto's mother did say to find a woman like her. However, she was talking to her son as a child. Not as a grown adult. If she'd told him after she'd come to know him better when they met in spirit, than yeah, maybe you'd have a valid argument. However, he grew up and acts like her (they were both the nine-tails, Kurama's, jinchuriki after all) So reverse what she said, and he should find someone mais like his father, and is Sakura like his father, not even close. Hinata however is like his father, and just as committed to his happiness as Minato was to Kushina's.
2;If Kishimoto wasn't going to have Hinata and naruto get together, he wouldn't have bothered having Hinata be the one to save him. The scene dragged out in the anime, and even a little in the manga, and Sakura had every opportunity to do the same thing Hinata did, but she didn't. Ergo, Hinata loves naruto mais than Sakura ever could, and she and naruto have mais of a brother sister relationship.
3; Actually, naruto finally has addressed Hinata about what she did, in fact, I'll give you a link
link read chapters 558 and 559, there's enough evidence there to crucify all Naruto-Sakura lovers. Not so much in words, but in his own thoughts. Seriously, read those 2, and you should be convinced right there.(Yes he saved Sakura too in the medic camp, but it wasn't anywhere near as emotional).
4; Later on Hinata says from now on she'll walk with him and be with him, and stop playing catch up.
5;Sakura did say she loved him, but later she thinks about Sasuke when a shinobi she healed gives her a amor letter and talks to her about it.
Furthermore she lied, in a weird way, but she loves sasuke way mais than she could ever amor Naruto. Sai also confirms that she was lying, and if Naruto, the oblivious idiot who couldn't tell that Hinata had feelings for him when anyone else with half a brain could see it, can tell she was lying in order to try and protect him when everyone else in the leaf (Konoha)decided they needed to 'deal'(Kill) Sasuke and relieve him of that burdensome promise he made to her in the Sasuke retrieval arc, than why can't you lot. If anyone is lying to themselves it's the Naruto-Sakrua fã girls out there. There are no fã boys only fã girls. I'm a Naruto-Hinata fã girl myself.
6; When Sakura was healing Hinata after naruto got Pain/Nagoto out of the village, Sakura thinks to herself that Hinata loves Naruto, this is in the animê AND the mangá pg 1 on 442, go I dare you, just go check.
7; When naruto got out of the nine-tails
