Spoilers... Obviously...

Sakura has accepted that Naruto loves her. She's going to go talk to him, because "the fool's in love with me". Really, this could go either way. She could be going to set him straight and tell him that they can't be together and that he needs to focus on Hinata who loves him... Or she could be going to give him a big hug and sloppy wet kiss, totally accepting his feelings.

Obviously she wouldn't act like Akamaru, both her personality and the situation make it inappropriate and improbable. But she very well could reciprocate his feelings. There has been enough building up to this point to substantiate either possibility. Naruto could end up with Hinata or Sakura, and we really don't know.

Did I ever mention that Kishi really pisses me off sometimes?

Kubo may write DBZ-style drivel (by comparison to Naruto) but at least there isn't this level of ambiguity over which female the male lead will end up with. Ichigo seems to be oblivious to the hormonal changes to his body and his mind that came as a result of puberty. Maybe Zangetsu neutered him somehow.

Anyway, back on topic, what do you guys think will happen? Will Sakura end up stealing Naruto from Hinata, or will Naruto end up loving Sakura with a sibling-like strong bond, saving the romantic intentions for Hinata?

The people who write the omake skits for Naruto have proven themselves once again to be huge NaruHina fans. At Ichiraku, Sakura is sitting with Kiba (on his left), with Naruto on Kiba's right, and Hinata to Naruto's right. They talk about random crap, but once again, Naruto and Hinata are paired together, and they don't even make a mention of it, nor does Hinata stutter or blush. It's just the most normal thing in the world for her to eat Ramen with Naruto.

Also, what do you guys think of her new Hyuuga-logo windbreaker/jacket? I think it's much more practical than the huge wooly Hyuuga jacket from the pre-timeskip period, and even more than her Shippuuden-era garb, it's season-appropriate for Summer.

Good on you, omake team. Keep up the NaruHina action.

So she's not dead, at least not yet. And Pein's been chased away from her by 6-tails Naruto, so Sakura is racing to her side to see what can be done to save her.

She may still die, but she hasn't yet.

-------------------

So I'm Hinata! I love her, so aside from the whole transgender thing, it's a good outcome. I really do wish there had been more characters to match with, such as Karin, Hanabi, Ten Ten, Ino, Kyuubi, Kabuto, Asuma, Pein (though I hate him), and maybe also some summons like Gamabunta, Gamatatsu or Gamakichi, and Pakkun.

But good times, something to think about.

You, reading this... I'd like to see you do this too, to get to know you guys. Come on, it's fun!

While obviously omakes aren't canon, is there any doubt left that Hinata loves Naruto? While it certainly isn't the only thing standing in the way of NaruHina becoming official, one of the biggest concepts cited by the anti-NaruHina brigade is that there's been no evidence that Hinata *loves* Naruto. Sure she admires him and has been a bit of a stalker over the years, but if the omake at the end of Naruto Shippuuden 096 doesn't convince you that she wants to confess to him but just hasn't found the courage yet (probably for the best this time, since Sakura's cooking would have hospitalized Naruto), nothing ever will.

It's so nice to see things like this... Today was a good day for NaruHina fans.
