And while I don't want to go back to the pairings issue again in a sense to me even with what interaction between Naruto and Hinata we did get the fact that she more or less stalked Naruto for roughly 9 years and never told him that she loved him until near the end of the Invasion of Pein arc because she assumed she going to die fighting Pein and her own insecurities before that point in a sense makes Hinata worse than Sakura because even though she knows how much he's suffered, she (Hinata) never made an attempt to befriend him herself or give Naruto a reason to notice her until the Chunin Exam arc. While by contrast sure Sakura admitted at the start that she hated Naruto but in this relationship Naruto and by extension Kishimoto himself were in the wrong because they never told Sakura the truth about that day at the park bench and had it been addressed much sooner, yes Sakura would have bust Naruto right in the puss (face) she would have realized that she was chasing a fantasy with her obbession for Sasuke and should have given her love and affection to someone who knew it and needed it.
