as for hinata.

Nope...
Hinata watched Naruto *way* before that. There are enough flashbacks of them both *before* they graduate from the Academy.
Konohamaru only met him for the first time at the Hokage's office, *after* Naruto graduated...
How about that?????
As for Naruto's precious people... I guess I should cut and paste some images from the manga/anime where we can clearly see how much those two precious people care for Naruto...
If Naruto wasn't totally stupid, he'd have left Gaara alone and beat the crap out of those who should actually be beaten.
Sure it's the behavior of a best friend to try to chidori his ass off...yeah, was it because Naruto went visit said friend on the hospital???
Also, nice way Sakura thanks Naruto for saving her... by spoon feeding Sasuke-kun...
She goes on a date with Naruto, all right, but guess who she is going to talk about...
Finally, to top it all, she goes to Naruto in tears to beg him to save the very same guy who tried to kill him not so long ago. Coincidentaly, the same guy who knock the plate out of her hand and called her annoying.
I mean, even an evil Gaara is worth 100 times those two. Ooops, a hundred times zero is zero. So, even an evil Gaara is worth something, unlike those two low-lives.

Hey, I *loved* your idea of having Hinata popping up at the scene. But maybe, she could beat the crap outta Saska herself! It's not so impossible, I will tell you. Maybe on the meanwhile she learned how to see the tenketsus... and Saske would be doomed!
Lovely idea.
