Just again, the deal with Hinata, people are overracting when this was just an internal moment for her.
I heard that the NaruSaku area on NF remains closed and yet the SS and NH ones are open? Great another double standard,
For the haters, they are still just ignoring one important detail, yes the parallel, but at this point, its hard to imagine the resolution with Hinata no matter the end, all it was was a flashback, how is it fully making progress for NH? It was just an important moment for Hinata and well its kinda hard for them to claim canon when Naruto has not shown anything over it again and also just put forward calling Sakura his girlfriend, weren't these same fans just blistering angry at him recently?
We see development with Sakura, it was very good last chapter because she reflected on what she used to do and what she became, that was good, now she is fighting alongside Naruto and Sasuke as equals. But Hinata, again on Naruto, this back and forth development, at this point, kishi is just making it harder to follow Hinata.
Again, Hinata's main problem is her limited screentime, she does not give us as much to work with. A main character like Sakura, yes we have a lot with her to work with and understand, Kishi gave Sakura, the heroine a good sect of development between chapters 630-632. It was fine. Major characters like Shikamaru, he is fine too, we know what he was, went through, and became and he still shows a lot of improvement. But Hinata, I just can't follow her at this point. She is a decent character but the only one she is has association with now is Naruto, yeah she has Kiba and Shino, but since when were those 2 overly important to the story?
The parallel of Sakura-Kushina is still around, its going to resurface in one form or another, its not gone or "mislabeled" or "worthless" as some go around saying it is. To call NH canon again all I can say is, "We still have these unresolved things with NS and SS, they can't be canon until we actually see it, not what we love to see." But hey, Hinata is a perfect goddess, nothing is ever wrong with her, she could blink and people would still claim her to have some insane power. Its at a point now, what can we see coming that still justifies NH? It still lacks a whole amount of development compared to NS, but again it just falls back to Kushinas foreshadow and the events of 631, everything she said has come in one way or another, Minato advocated her "find someone like your mother" to sakura with, "This girl reminds me of Kushina" Not to mention Hinata is still outside of the loop involving Sasuke. At this point, its either NS comes canon with the Kushina parallel or the parallel dies with us. Unless the parallel was readvocated, but that would be outright strange and unnecessary, like why cound't kishi again just save it for Hinata? Why would we need Minato to basically go, "oh i was wrong, looks like that girl is like Kushina (or Minato compares Hinata to himself as some still think he will
).
At this point, nothing has happened, the parallel remains in effect with all the other past development. NS still has the advantage, but what exactly is he trying to convey with Hinata's feelings at this point? She loves Naruto but is it a case of actual love or does she just love what Naruto does? Thats what may make it harder to follow, I can understand how she wants to follow him or stand by his side non-romantically but what is Kishi trying to display romantically for NH at this point? We had that stuff come in 615, it went, it just was rehashed a bit for Hinata to have confidence and to keep moving forward, but she still has nothing on her own. When can she do something without a crutch?
We know what NS is showing, the Sakura-Kushina stuff can come back and Naruto practically said he still loves Sakura, so what major developments are we looking for in NH for it to come forward?
At this point its still just NS goes canon or not, the parallel made the difference, it will be built upon. If not then it dies with us and Kushina would have been wrong in one thing. But again, what is written is like a contract, we expect Kishi in most cases to build on this stuff, if not then it leaves people confused and with mixed results but ultimately leaves people saying, "why even bother with it in the first place? NS still has the advantage, nothing has undermined or overtaken 631 presently, NS still has a lot of stuff left to use like ending Yamato's and Sai's input to Sakura, the forehead compliment, Sakura's feelings for Naruto and Sasuke, and Sakura's role is still a big one, she will have a role as long as team 7 has a story. She also has a part in the finale of Naruto vs Sasuke, this is still more or less NS ace in the hole.
Well it was a decent chapter, no need to worry about this Hinata stuff, it was internal nothing pairing wise actually happened externally, She said what she said, got her small confidence boost. done. All she said was to move forward even if minimal. But this does not change what Naruto feels for Sakura or what the parallel foreshadow maybe now will it? NS still has the advantage and that opening for stuff to come forward with it that I mentioned before still exists.
I'm still laughing how someone said Hinata could beat Sakura at this point when she took down 1 Jubbi clone while Sakura took down an entire horde and broke the very earth they walked upon. Yeah, thats going to be a hard one, especially considering this, if that white strength seal works like the Yin seal flowing more power back into the body, then shouldn't the stored chakra if released also undue the gentle fist attacks? The chakra in the seals tsunade and sakura use are not part of that chakra network, so does this essentially render the gentle fist useless? Not to mention Sakura can summon slugs too.
Oh just a thought, if Sakura summoned Katsyau, could she be holding the wounded kage and Tsunade?
If this is true, what if Sakura managed to call them? Maybe maybe not, just depends if that slug is katsyau.
