Naruto's not even looking at Hinata though I can see why since Sakura has a prettier face and dresses more stylishly.

I can see why Naruto prefers Sakura. She was much prettier than Hinata.

Long-haired Sakura resembles Kushina quite a bit. Even their Academy outfits are of a similar cut and design.

If you ask me.I think Sakura and Kushina are the same person.(In a way) They both are beautiful,strong,independent women who will put Naruto in his place,even if it resorts to punching.Kushina said,"Pick Someone like me."NaruHina fans,Do you think that The Red Hot Habinaro (Did I spell it right?) is like the Shy Hinata Hyugga who wouldn't hurt a fly.Sorry for boring you with this long reply.

I actually didn't support NaruSaku here nor did I support SasuSaku. I didn't support SS because of this scene. Sakura was such a bitch here. She definitely did not deserve either of those two guys back them >.<

In the manga Hinata wasn't there, in manga canon Hinata is just a minor support character- that as you put it so well Naruto doesn't have any interest in- and never will. The animators just inserted a bunch of filler nonsense- in both part 1 and Shippuden, to create drama before Kishimoto gets Naruto and Sakura together- they way played up Sakura's fangirling over Sasuke too for the same reasons- they thinking "shipping drama"= higher ratings. Kishimoto doesn't care what they do in their adaption, he tells the story he wants to tell in manga canon.

You misread that, and it was also poorly translated. The two points are meant to be seen as different, that's why Kishimoto split the scene into two chapters. Look at Sakura's expression when the guy first confesses, it's kindly neutral when she says she loves someone else. (Kishimoto bluntly responded to the question that Sakura was lying about being in love with Naruto with the statement that "On the contrary I was writing her there as an honest and surprisingly determined girl") so thus it's an obvious reference to her being in love with Naruto. (that part of his confession reminds her of her recent confession to Naruto). The in the next chapter the guy correctly says- "Any guy you've loved must be great..." That's a really painful reminder of Sasuke- now really, does she look like she's "in love" there? No. She looks depressed and ill. She pictures Sasuke as evil looking with dark flames around him. She's not even paying attention to what the guy is saying to her from the point he says "any guy you've love must be great" She knows she is in love with Naruto, that's completely apart from the distress she feels over not being able to completely break off even memories of old feelings about Sasuke- what tripped her up when she tried to kill Sasuke. It makes her feel like she's not such an "awesome person" as her crush thinks she is. She doesn't realize having those kind of feelings doesn't make her weak, it makes her human. Look at Tsunade, she had years to distance any team mate feelings she had toward Orochimaru (and she never had any romantic feelings toward Orochomaru to deal with either) yet she mourned his death and spoke fondly of him to Jiraiya from the time they were all young Genin. And it took her a week to build up the resolve to kill him, and note she never pursued that goal again... (Orochimaru never lost the remnant his bond to Tsunade either- he outright cries out to her that he never wanted to kill her, and even when they fight he swings between attacking and warning her of the danger of becoming Hokage and the danger he knew a jinchuuriki posed. Despite his threat when they fought he never again pursued his goal to destroy Konoha once she became Hokage. In fact, in his mind Konoha became a sort of unwitting ally. He also protected Naruto and Sakura from being killed by Sasuke- and Sasuke sneered at his reason, Sasuke would have sensed it actually stemmed from the remnant of Orochimaru's bond to Tsunade. Orchimaru knew Naruto and Sakura had a direct bond to Tsunade. Sasuke is even darker a person than Orochimaru, he is comparable to Madara as the Kyuubi says.)
Contrast that to image of Sakura and Naruto when he rescues her from Sasuke- Kishimoto intentionally closely parallels with Minato and Kushina. Look at the joyous open smiles they share when she tells him Tsunade has woken up. Kishimoto actually has Naruto mirror an physical action and expression of Sakura's and Sakura mirror an expression of Naruto's. Look as well at Naruto's mental image of Sakura and his other age peers in chapter 505

Sakura is certain of her romantic love for Naruto and is relieved that Naruto still loves her. Sasuke is, as Sai says, a painful burden for both Naruto and Sakura (Kakashi too).
Karin as well: in correct translation Karin's words about Sasuke as she watches the fight between Team 7 is much less definite. It's "I think I might be" not "I'm done". And considering, unlike with Sakura- who Sasuke was just annoyed by her romantic feelings, with Karin Sasuke actually did have a bit of an attraction to. He even makes the point that Karin has made a comparable connection to him as he had to Naruto. The only people he says his bond to them threw him off his goal was Naruto and Karin. I'm not a sasukarin shipper, but canon wise I can tell, if Sasuke is redeemed and lives he and Karin will be working through what he did and if she wants to be with him.

You've made me feel really relieved and optimistic about Naruto.

you're right, Hinata in this scene is just filler, but the filler is fine for me (except naruhina nonsense filler)
btw, your fave pairs are my fave too (minakushi, shikatem, jiratsu and choino)
