Well, I'm one of those guys that is iffy on the ending, and while the pairings are one thing, I was more on how there were so many loose ends and a lack of conclusiveness. Many of the characters' endings weren't specified, the ending was just to show who slept with who, and ultimately it wasn't very memorable outside of Naruto being Hokage.

By the way, it's the Konoha 11. It will always be the Konoha 11. Nothing's changing that, not even Sai, Sasuke, or Neji.

And Sakura SERIOUSLY isn't that bad. You're putting way too much stress on her. Kishi never stated Sakura was a mistake (if that was the case, she would've been killed off ages ago). Her physical characteristics are your own opinion, I guess (although I'm starting to find your one's on Hinata a bit creepy), but the emotional characteristics are outdated. Sakura was never a groupie, and she has never had Sasuke posters or worn Sasuke shirts. She may have been a fangirl, but she outgrew that by Part II. The Hinata-hero thing was made by Studio Pierrot, not Kishi; Kishi only decided to make Sakura more heroic because of that comment. And she wasn't the only "normal past" person at all. Naruto, Hinata, Sasuke, and Neji are the only ones with sad pasts, but that has nothing to do with love or heroism; the quality of a hero resides in the actions that heroes do in their lives, not what's laid in front of them, and love resides in the interactions between two people. Sakura also has MUCH better skills than Hinata or any other female character (she is said to be better than Tsunade, who happens to be a Kage). And then there's your comment on killing being normal - WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
