This, just this. I have never liked Hinata, ever. When she was first introduced I knew instantly that I would never have feelings for her, and to this day its still true. Just like the Plain White T's say hate is a strong word but I really really really dont' like you, yeah sorry Hinata. Personally I see her as the only character out of the rookie 12 that never grew on me, except in annoyance but then again this is just how I feel. The events in 615 look like fan pleasing to me. I mean if Hinata was ultimately going to play such a big part in the manga Kishi should have spent more time on her from the very beginning. Her relationship with Naruto should have flourished but no instead he builds Sakura and Naruto's relationship, and for what!? Hinata goes and steals the lime light, and Neji was used as a sacrifice. What's ever worse is that Naruto's character and Sakura's have seemed to have regressed :/ Naruto almost falling for Obito's trick was pure BS, and Sakura just gawking at Naruto and Hinata is just as worse. Over all I still hold hope that all this will blow over just like the confession did. If not and NH becomes canon I will stop reading the manga all together. Not because of my hatred for NH but because Kishi is going all Stephenie Meyer on us (Author of Twilight) I won't give anything away on her last book but god was she a major fan pleaser. She ruined everything by trying to giving everyone a happy ending and that ultimately killed the series. I guess all we do know is wait.
Yeah but I would rather have her gone. Hearing NH should have happened with her alive would still be annoying to hear from fans, because Hinata would still be around. If she had died instead of Neji that's it game over fans can say what they want to but she'd ultimately be gone for good.Then again Kishi could go all Disney on us and have the fallen come back to life :/ I'm just upset that Neji had to die D:
I agree completely. I've also never liked Hinata, I find her too overrated and her fans ruined her character for me. When she was first introduced I thought she was a boy o.O A very femine boy. With creepy ass eyes.
To me this chapter was for Hinata's character development, her speech to Naruto was not romantic in the slightest she didn't even mention her feelings in this speech. But NaruHina fans claim that it was all romantic and made NaruHina canon. But I thought it lacked a romantic atmosphere not to mention it was out of character and rushed. And was actually placed in this chapter to try and please al of his readers (like you stated he was pulling a Stephenie Meyer)
But I also think that it has a link to chapter 573 when Hinata stated that she would stop chasing Naruto after the war and walk with him holding his hand. Well that happened in this chapter so I don't know if she will stop chasing him. Seems unlikely because she's been stalking- I mean chasing after him for so long.
Neji's death has been forgotten already and its only been over a week. There are fans who are still bummed out over his death (I am! I thought he was awsome!!) In my opinion his death was only to give Hinata, a side character development. Which seems like a hollow death to me...:/ The worst thing is his body is still beside Naruto and Hinata and there just standing beside him holding hands...
Also why were Obito and Madaraa just standing there like marshmellows? If I was a antagonist I'd be throwing a b*tch fit and attacking everyone while their trying to have a conversation and holding hands. I'd also try to get their attention by shouting over
"HELLO?!
Two Evil Uchihas that were thought to be dead standing on an ugly Juubi here! Stop holding hands with that stalker and fight us Noobs!!!"
