Anime Trivia:
Despite Kishimoto saying Hinata and Naruto is really meant to end up someday, it is very obvious the ship is sailing slowly but surely SakuraxNaruto. During the last parts of Naruto series, Sakura had almost stopped caring about Sasuke. Sakura even entered training with Tsunade with the inspiration of being Naruto's partner someday in battle. She mentioned that whenever Naruto would be in danger, he wanted to be there to save him. At the start of Shippuden, it is shown that all through the 3 years time skip Sakura was always wondering what Naruto is doing. When Naruto went home, she ask Naruto if she had became matured and attractive somehow. Fact is, Sakura thingking about Sasuke dropped considerably during the Shippuden...
