I mean, if you approach it from the position of "making sense", then no, it doesn't. At the end of the story Naruto is no longer an incel village idiot who just tries to latch on the geographically closest girl. He has actual options regarding whom he's going to fuck. And in-setting, it is not possible to make a rational argument for choosing Sakura over Hinata. Sure, Hinata is boring as a character, but Sakura is a self-absorbed bitch with no tits. Given that Naruto is also a self-absorbed narcissist, tit size comparison alone seals the deal, never mind that as a person Hinata fits him perfectly. (Not that a more well-adjusted man would inflict Sakura on himself, if given choice.)I don't want this to devolve to into a shipping war, but I wish the series ended with episode 479 and whether Naruto ended up with Sakura or Hinata was left ambiguous. Maybe it's just me but Naruto and Sakura ending up together makes more sense than Sasuke.
And on that note, most of the complaints about the story over the last few pages, from Naruto being compared to literally every story relevant character in existence, to Kurama getting turned into a power battery with zero agency, stems from the fact that "Naruto" is a story about narcissists written in a way that enables and justifies their self-absorbtion. The world literally warps to make Nardo either the most miserable orphan in existence or the most glorious inheritor to the mantle of its prince, depending on the current stage of his "rags-to-riches" story. Every Talk no Jutsu session is an excuse for Nurutu to talk about himself, and they succeed because all the relevant villains only exist to highlight his character.
Sasuke and even Sakura have similar effects, except lesser, given that they are satellites to the main character, caught by his superior Ego Gravity.
This story hooked me with its emotional scenes when I was younger and gobbled up all anime I could find. But after thinking on it later, I was not surprised at all by the rumors (also present in this thread) that IRL Kishimoto is a shithead.
