Hinata with gargantuan boobs that should not be healthy, girls fawning over the hot edgy teen in class, nude girls (and later, nude guys).... I've always ignored these undertones, and i will continue to do so.

While most of it is true, Hinata got developed in Shippuden, where she is 16 and while it is still underage no questions, it is enough to reach age of consent for most of the world. At the same time, Sumire on this color page looks like a main star from pedophiles wet dreams (though she is likely appealing for a Japanese schoolgirl fetishists in the anime, too)

Of course, we can't forget Narutoverse is the universe where 7 years old is capable of grasping the concept of romantic feelings towards opposite sex and hold onto them till young adulthood, as The Last shows us.

About the vessel - Ao is using plural form "they". So either the vessel is multiply things or it was just a speech form to not reveal it's gender.
