Say Sakura wasn't chosen to be on Naruto and Sasuke's team. Say it was Hinata. Would that have affected Naruto's feelings toward Sakura at all?

Say Sakura wasn't chosen to be on Naruto and Sasuke's team. Say it was Hinata. Would that have affected Naruto's feelings toward Sakura at all? And with Hinata on his team, do you think she'd be able to express and make her feelings toward him more clear, and that he'd actually have the opportunity to notice her?

Well it wouldn't make a difference.

[questdrivencollie]

I think Kishi would likely have written it that way if NH was intended. 

[Fenris]

The most accurate representation ever.

 

Honestly, Hinata wouldn't be able to keep up with what Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke have done over the years.

Wow i just realized how stupid this question is why did i even ask lol XD

[merryGOflava]

I'm pretty sure she'd have more chances.....after all Naruto just had a crush on Sakura at first, but over time it developed to love, so he probably wouldn't feel as strongly for Sakura as he does now.

 

(or Naruto could be like Lee and not give up even if he's not on the same team as Sakura) 

 

Either way....the dynamic wouldn't be as fun without Sakura XD

[CloudMountainJuror]

It's possible. By being put on Naruto's squad and put through such close experiences with him and Sasuke both, Hinata's development could have been drastically increased, which in turn may have affected Naruto personally. The story would be very, very different than it is right now.

Kishi wouldn't have made very many sales...

Hinata on Team seven? Team Seven wouldn't be able to complete any missions cause of her fainting every two minutes.

And can you imagine the number of panels of "Naruto-kun"s we would be seeing then? The thought scares me.

 

NO. Naruto would still like Sakura because there is no way he would start liking Hinata. If anything, her constant fainting and 'Naruto-kunnning' would have annoyed him and he would put in a request for a change of team.

It raise the chance for nh.

[Broken Figurine]

It would dramatically change her role in the story, for one, because she's a side character that doesn't get much devoted to her. It would change the dynamic of the love rivalry at the beginning, since Hinata would be liking Naruto from the start and having no real interest in Sasuke. I mean, it depends on what Kishimoto would have intended to do with Hinata as a heroine. How involved would she be in the plot, or would she just be one-note and fade into the background while Naruto and Sasuke duke it out? There is potential there to be a good heroine, what with her connection to the Hyuuga and the Byakugan... if she learned to branch out and away from loving Naruto. Being inspired by him is one thing, but the interest is in her becoming stronger more involved in her own storyline. 

 

I mean, as a hypothetical it could be really good, and certainly there are fanfictions out there that explore this (how well is debatable) but then, when considering how Sakura was handled I don't know that Hinata's role as the heroine would be any better. It presents something of a flaw in his writing if Hinata would make the better heroine simply because she has the Byakugan and belongs to a powerful family.

NH would have a higher probability than it does now. I still think Naruto would like Sakura though. Hinata's honestly just not the right kinda girl for him.

[Naruko]

He just didn't put a request for a change of team because of Sakura. He hated the idea of having Sasuke on his team. If Sakura wasn't there, there would be nothing to cheer Naruto up. No, Sasuke is more than enough annoyance for Naruto. Let's imagine:

 

Naruto fighting over Sasuke with their rivalry and Hinata trying to stop them: "A- a- a- ano.... Naruto-kuun, Sasuke kun... Could you..." They would just ignore her. She would be a very displaced character there, she wouldn't fit team 7. Naruto would definitely worry about Sasuke much more, at least when Sakura spoke, he stopped anything to listen. He didn't listen to Hinata even when she was directly talking to him face to face in pt. 1, thinking "Weirdo".
