Today I learned:
Apparently if you go to the Ichiraku Ramen wiki page (I`m having my first ramen on monday) and check the trivia you will find that in some brave new world canon version of events not only did Naruto and Hinata go on several dates there but apparently "Hinata Uzumaki" somehow defeated both Choji and Naruto in their ramen eating contest.
I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THIS
Sooner will I accept the notion that Sasuke somehow loved Sakura all along than the idea that Naruto took Hinata to his favorite ramen shop, owned by the two people who are arguably at worst the second people to accept Naruto if not the first.
This man and his daughter have been there for/with Naruto his entire life. They are so important to him that he made sure they had ample bussiness by using his star power to name drop them to people. This dude is the ramen king of Konoha thanks to Naruto.
So am I to understand that this glorious man and his daughter who have seen like 25% of NS development play out (possibly more off panel), just stood there as Naruto dated Hinata and never asked A BUNCH of question about his thing with Sakura which would have been obvious to them.
These two are way too MVP for this. (Still some of my favourite characters).
For the second issue. Hinata was never seen eating Ramen. And if RtN is a semiaccurate portrayal of Hinatas figure, then she is not far off from Ino in terms of body type. And Ino has been stated (in the anime at least) to be regularly on a diet. So were supposed to assume that this girl defeated two guys who are food consumption gods. The only reason naruto isnt fat and dead is his apparent genetic predesposition to ramen consumption and Choji actually is fat.
So what gives?
