This is rich. Tomato-box had practically plagiarized my entire
my NejiHina essay claiming it was hers, now she says that she "just found it on a Spanish NejiHina site somewhere a couple of months ago, saying you could use it yourself."
So sites now go around taking other people's essays and allow them to claim them as their own? =.=
Edit: Issue solved now. Apparently she found it posted somewhere else while looking for doujins, and simply used it as though she wrote it to fend off flamers. She didn't even know that I was the one who wrote it, but she's removed the post.
Blah.

It's not a manifesto like my NaruSaku one, but it still says a good bunch. ^^

The biggest problem in predicting the final pairing is that we don't truly know how Sakura feels about Sasuke in Part II. It's been two and a half years, and a lot could've changed in her. I mean, Sakura used to repress her true nature around Sasuke in an attempt to appeal to him, but now Inner Sakura has melded with Outer Sakura. Could this mean that her mind has changed about Sasuke, and she is chasing after him for the sake of reuniting Team 7?
One of the things that worries me most about SasuSaku (other than the fact that I dislike the pairing), is that it would be poor writing. A while back, Kishimoto announced that he was going to finish Naruto within a year (which explains why the Akatsuki are dropping like flies). He has a lot to do within that short period of time, considering that he has to finish off the rest of the Akatsuki, address the Tobi/Madara issue, and who-knows-what he's doing with Kabuto. If he does finish the manga with SasuSaku, he would have to explain how Sasuke could possibly return Sakura's feelings, and rather quickly too. Also, Sasuke "suddenly" caring for Sakura in the same way she cares for him would be rather out-of-character for Sasuke, and that's also bad writing. I'm not saying that it's not going to happen, but I'm hoping that Kishimoto would be a better writer than that.
Luckily, we do know that fandom is not going to influence the pairing or the ending, for the most part (though some fans claim it will). When asked about the ending, Kishimoto said "Yes, I have the last episode clearly drawn in my mind. I’ve already decided on the layout, text and scenes. Not just the story ideas, but the visual ideas are solid.
All I have to do is just head toward the ending I have, but there are still so many things that need to be resolved before reaching that point. Maybe I have thrown in too many ideas, so I need to wrap them up neatly."

Unless you're talking about another interview?
I do think NaruSaku has the edge right now, and it's obviously the pairing I favor, but when it comes to what Kishimoto decides to do, you never know. He rarely writes the most realistic relationships, and does seem to have a penchant for the dramatic. See how Naruto converts characters "to the light" left and right. That's why I like NaruSaku though: it's a breath of fresh air compared to the "OMG we're the Same let's be best friends from now on just because you punched and yelled at me o_o actually let me worship you."
Also, Kishimoto seems to plan his arcs from a top-down approach, so when something is not on the priority list it may be forgotten completely. In the Gaara rescue arc for example, Naruto barely mentioned Sasuke. For a few arcs there, he didn't mention his crush to Sakura either. Then when Kishimoto decides that it Is time to develop something, he throws in the whole package, even if it doesn't make sense. Basically, if he decides that SasuSaku is on the agenda, then he can lay out the whole works for it. Unlike Some pairings, SasuSaku does have the opportunity for development in this Shounen manga.
Ah well. We'll see. XD

I do agree that it will be NaruSaku vs SasuSaku as well, though I have confidence in NaruSaku. I believe that the most important scenes in the whole manga happened in the very first chapters, particularly the scene with Sakura and Naruto (posed as Sasuke) on the bench. Sakura imagines an idealized Sasuke who loves her greatest physical flaw, and then "Sasuke" suddenly acts just as she imagines. This "Sasuke" also makes her feel comfortable enough to express her feelings. Sakura falls in love with this "Sasuke," and works so hard to make this Sasuke appear again. I think that Sakura will eventually realize that it was Naruto all along. There have been a few flashbacks to that scene, but Sakura still doesn't know that it wasn't Sasuke. They had almost kissed, so why wouldn't she mention it to Sasuke when they are reunited? Sasuke would obviously tell her that it wasn't him.

I'm still not completely sure that NaruSaku will happen, really. But the big question isn't NaruSaku vs NaruHina, but NaruSaku vs SasuSaku. Since Sasuke is a big part of the story, Sasuke and Sakura may still have some major opportunities for interaction, at which point the Sasuke -> Sakura equation may be fulfilled.
If NaruHina happens, it'd much more likely be as a side consequence to SasuSaku. I'll be more convinced of the "importance" of NaruHina when Hinata shows herself to be more important than her teammates and when something Naru -> Hina (and not just Hina -> Naru) actually happens when the two of them are together. So far Naruto doesn't give a damn. X'D

Recently, one of my NaruHina friends told me that ch. 383 had "NaruHina hints," but I only saw Hinata call out Naruto's name, whereas Sakura told Hinata to "have faith in Naruto" (as the early translation put it, I think they changed it to "It'll take more than that to stop Naruto"). I guess we all read the manga with jaded eyes, looking for what we want to see.
