EDIT: It occured to me after posting this that, in light of what happened earlier with Naruto teaching Konohamaru the Rasengan, that just about anything can happen off-panel. Given time, the subject may be broached; and if not, well, I'll worry about it then.
It seems like something that should be at the front of his mind for one reason or another even if he and Hinata had a talk off screen.
I'd love to have Hinata be on that boat, and maybe have it be her love that tames the beast within Naruto. A little sappy, but would work in this case, and it seems like she is the only person tailed Naruto has not tried to hurt.

I dunno, that kinda sounds like the sort of thing that would ignite flame wars to me. Lets not go any further than that.
Sakura either planned to join Sasuke's twisted team, or had a half baked plan to kill Sasuke on her own.
When Kakashi seems to actually be getting through to Sasuke she attempts to kill him, and makes it look like it was just an attempt to get Sasuke to let his guard down.
She has to be reminded to treat naruto for the poison from the weapon Sasuke got when he easily disarmed her.
Lastly she acts like she didn't screw up big time, and gets angry at Naruto for needing to rest because he still hasn't recovered from the poison.
Team-7 would have been better served if Sakura had been replaced with Hinata.

I kinda have to agree with Nekomata-sensei's suggestion as far as this goes; it probably wasn't around long enough for people to see it. And if it were, well, time marches on; maybe time marched on long enough to erode the legend somewhat.
It would be pretty much a walking nuclear bomb that going off again and again until it was stopped.. Everyone should know of it even if they didn't see it
