Just pointing that out.

But you don't factor in the time necessary for rehabilitation after fighting Pain. Sure, he appeared undamaged at the end of the entire ordeal, but I'm sure he had several days of bed rest and I'm sure the first thing, after hearing all that Nagato had told him about the pain of this world, not to mention his encounter with his own father, whom he had just met then and there, would not have been Hinata's confession clouding his thoughts.

It's mere speculation, I understand, but it still fits better than just saying he has been ignoring her outright. Naruto has already shown us that he is always up front about his feelings, so he wouldn't be changing his own personality, even in this case, by avoiding speaking with her or putting it off intentionally.
