And the fact is everyone else getting shoved off onto others with no real development. Honestly, if you can't see that, I dunno what to say then. Hinata is Naruto's first romantic connection, his relationship with Iruka is seperate. What Sakura said is correct though, Naruto never truly loved Sakura. It was just a childhood crush and his rivalry with Sasuke, he even said in Part 2 that he doesn't love people who lie to themselves. Ever since then, he stopped obsessing over Sakura. Sasuke lost another brother? What? He only has one. Shikamaru did that because Shikamaru and the other characters all noticed that Hinata had feelings for Naruto and Naruto didn't like anyone else anyway. Why wouldn't they be happy during the wedding? Two of their good friends got married and are happy. I don't recall Sakura having a fake smile, and even if she did. That would be because she was thinking of Sasuke and Naruhina made her think about how she wants to be with Sasuke. I do agree though that the other relationships should have been developed more, especially the vague ones. However, Shikamaru and Temari was expected.
