Because the series is called Naruto, not Hinata.

Because the series is shonen, not romance.

Because Kishimoto says he doesn't give a flying f*** (actual words were "wasn't concerned") about writing romantic relationships between his characters.

You want to read a story with a good romance? Go read the romance genre. As far as Kishimoto is concerned, Naruto is with Hinata because Kishimoto said so.

Questions? No? Good.
