It's so clearly obvious that Sakura isn't the right girl for Naruto, i'd even venture to say ten ten is a better fit, but she is so busy riding Neji's D!$& she couldn't see the sun through the tree's. Naruto is clueless and getting old.....
I like how they did the kids facial expressions in this episode. You could almost feel their emotions from their expressions. Good job! Hinata is one tough girl. Nice, 8 trigrams, 64 palms technique.
Sooo...basically Naruto keeps putting his life on the line for some dumb promise to an annoying little girl who can't get over crush and instead of being grateful she gives him sh*t for messing up...I wish they would replace her with Hinata
Even tho it failed, lots of positives came out of that mission xD Hinata honed her Plam Jutsu and her relationship with Naruto developed further a bit, great arc in my opinion, they should totally do more of Naruto + Hinata arcs
