In addition to Sakura being reminded of Sasuke after a sudden confession - and not Naruto - Hinata has the whole “ Mizuki Nana factor” going for her in the anime, which to me is a clear edge over Sakura’s Nakamura Chie.
Their comedic routine also served as a nice juxtaposition to the hardworking and extremely devoted Hinata, whom I’m secretly hoping Naruto will continue to see in a better light. Admittedly, I was amused by their short dialogue more than most people probably were. …is what I would’ve liked to say about Neji, except he’s beyond gone when he can’t differentiate Kiba from Akamaru.
