Pfft... these idiots and then they have the audacity to make her black that is currently trending. I can't.     

What!? Okay, hold up! I saw some fellow Black people cosplaying as Hinata but what is this all about all of a sudden????

I'm seeing a lot of people with this girl from TikTok cosplaying her and she's like "If I want Hinata black, let's make her black!" and its trending on social media. I'm like, "No. Just no."

And that explains a lot!

[VanitasDS76491]

Lol and Hinata fans say that they are not biased towards Hinata.

Bull kitten especially towards anyone that mocks or calls out the bs

[Bail o' Lies]

Well that fits into current culture where they demand everyone be black. Though doesn't that also make Neji black? That would make the existing only to serve and die for an elite class even more awkward. Though maybe it would have made it clear for the idiots as well.

 

...Anyways isn't Hinata pretty much the traditional Japanese woman in terms of design? I know morons think all anime characters are white, but even then Hinata like Sasuke would still be seen as most likely Japanese in Naruto by most people.

That's correct. Her design is somewhat in the Yamato Nadeshiko trope, even though she hardly fits the part. Ironically, we have the filler character, Shizuka Nadeshiko (the one who tried to woo Naruto but he declined as he was eyeing on Sakura), who actually fits the design and the aesthetics (and with the shout out of the Nadeshiko name as her village).

Question... if you rewrote Naruto, where would you rewrite it and how would you tie NS into it?

I mean its just cosplay and she IS just an anime character so if a black person wants to cosplay then its alright. There would be a difference if Hinata was based off of a real person or some historical figure whose original skin color is white.

What Derock means is if Hinata was made black in animation and such. It's fine if it's cosplay, but the idea of art and such can be a stretch.

Possibly not what I'm trying to say but thank you, Bryon. 

 

If I was going towards that route, it would mean I was talking about "representation", which isn't the main point. Now if it was, then I would be really be pissed off. Not because of cosplay and fanart, due to many fans, especially black people, does this now at days. But the idea you would put Hinata, a character that did not do any significance for the franchise, in the front line for representation. 

 

However, it's my personal bias as I don't care for the character at all. Fans keeps bringing her on the front like she is a major character but the reality is, she isn't, she never was and never will be. If you trying to do some sort of "representation", pick another character that have some relevancy at least.

Question... if you rewrote Naruto, where would you rewrite it and how would you tie NS into it?

Where? Under the cherry blossoms of a cool spring night, full moon lovingly hanging overhear as the wind carries the sounds of a far away city.

 

How? Make it so that it's not just Sakura recognizing Naruto's achievements, but also his hardships. Like, have a scene where he tries to put on his idiot clown mask and Sakura just flat out tells him no and asks him what he is really feeling causing him to break down into tears. Stuff like that, illustrating how Sakura understands who Naruto really is, compared to how others see what he wants them to see. Even bring up that Hinata has no clue as to what Naruto is actually thinking, while Sakura does.

Question... if you rewrote Naruto, where would you rewrite it and how would you tie NS into it?

 

 

Here is something I would do when it comes to Naruto and Sakura's relationship  where Part 1 is relatively still the same, but it quickly changes when you hit Part 2.   

 

 

For example, I would have her tsundere traits be actively present in the beginning of Part 2, but as the story of Part 2 progresses you slowly start to see her tsundere attributes become a lot more heartfelt and meaningful... You know make it one of those subtle little details that you don't really catch when you are first going into Part 2 when reading it in the beginning until you start to think back to everything.  

 

 

I also felt like there was a big oppertunity for Kishi to further develop NaruSaku  when  Naruto went four tails during Tenchi bridge in his fight against Orochimaru which in my opinion should've been the thing that leads Sakura down this road of moving on from Sasuke and in fact she becomes more concerned about Naruto's well-being because of what happened. I  would even have it to where maybe Naruto avoids Sakura for a period of time after Tenchi bridge because he's so afraid of what he did to her to a point where he doesn't ever want to hurt her again, and maybe she says something that snaps him out of it.  Maybe some words of encouragement like the Naruto i know is full of energy yet so reckless and such a goofball.... He's always one to never give up... Always does whatever it takes against all odds... To do everything it takes to become the future Hokage .... WHOEVER YOU ARE RIGHT NOW ISN'T ACTING LIKE THE NARUTO I KNOW AND LOVE!! 

 

 

 

Something along those lines is what I would've done, and this might just be me, but I think that scenario could also escalate the hug she gives to Naruto after he takes care of Pain.

Question... if you rewrote Naruto, where would you rewrite it and how would you tie NS into it?

Complete rewrite or just rewrite one thing and let its effect play out?

 

For now the latter. Have Sakura learn Wood release while Naruto is learning wind. It gives her another combat ability beyond just punching things. It gives her one of the three great powers in Naruto (demon chakra, sharingan, wood release.) It allows Sakura to become Naruto's handler completely which allows her to accompany him even more so she can go on turtle island instead of Yamato; as well as lead to more NS moments in other places.

I'd probably rewrite all of part two if possible.

[catsi563]

Question... if you rewrote Naruto, where would you rewrite it and how would you tie NS into it?

So for me the story would progress much as ir did in the original with very few changes needed

 

Naruto would evolve more smoothly instead of in leaps like he did  in the series. training with Kakashi and Sakura and Sasuke and eventually Jiraia and occassionaly Iruka who would teach hin the basics. Naruto would also be less dense then a chunk of Dwarf star alloy capable of thinking past a bowl of ramen. Romantically Narutos crush on Sakura would evolve at the bench scene to true love with the POAL being a pivotal moment where he decides to put her happiness first. We would also see more reasons and a deeper connection between him and Sasuke to justify his pushing himself so hard. part of it would be the POAL which drives him and which is a cause of pain for him that he hides with a smile. Finally Naruto would basically flip the sage of 6 paths the bird when it comes to Destiny hed say No to continuing the endless cycle of the brothers and together with Sasuke and Sakura say how theyre going to change the world

 

Sakura would get a deeper character arc in the first part showing the misunderstanding of the bench scene and showing her more clearly growing closer to Naruto and further from sasuke. her feelings would be mixed until the POAL which is when Sakuras feelings would full force shift to naruto. his return would be an exiting time for her and shed make it clear that she wants to be more to him but be fruistrrated by his denseness which leads to tsundere hijinx

 

Sakura would also benefit more clearly from delinieating her abilities via Kakashi or Tsunade or Shizune explaining to someone that Sakura is essentially holding back a full half of her true power and potential becaise shes feeding the Byakugo mark. which comes to a head when she finally completes it during the war where she near about kills the juubi on her own with a mountain shattering punch

in the end her feelins would be clearly stated and realized as she stands by Narutos side 

 

Sasuke would also get a more clear redemption post his fight with Naruto and would end up with karin and Taka joining him on a world tour as a roving band of ninja who help people 

story wise thered be more of team 7 acting as a team and growing as a family to further their bonds. Kakashi training them in more advanced techniques earlier to prepare them for the Chunin exams. Also Show some clearer delinieation between Narutos quick almost unnaturally quick growth and Sasukes sluggish growth that further cements Sasukes rage which is what Orochimaru uses to push him. his feelings of inadequacy which are what drives him further down the path of revenge and rage/ 

 

*the wave arc would happen much as before with Naruto making ir more clear that while all of team 7 are precious to him it is Sakura who is most precious

 

*the chunin exams would proceed much the same as well but with Sakura contributing more on a basic skills level though still feeling inadequate herself before stepping up in the fight against the sound 3. 

 

*invasion arc only real change making ir MORE clear that though hes fighting for everyone SAKURA is who hes fighting for the most

 

*Tsunade arc no real changes 

 

*Sasuke retrieval arc more directly showing Sakuras feelings shift to naruto and Sakuras determination more clear in the end

 

Shippuden

 

*return arc more fun and flirty banter between naruto and Sakura with Naruto trying not to let himself hope but sakura making much more clear that she wants to be with him 

 

*Kazekage arc no real changes save maybe peanut gallery commentary from temari or Kankuro about how close NS are getting

 

*HE bridge arc no real changes save to make Sakura more clearly protective and showing her feelings more clearly for Naruto emphasize that Yamato knows whats going on and that even emotionally distant Sai can see whats going on. Have orochimaru and or Kabuto remark on it and how they might just do something wiith it to really drive Naruto into 4 tailed form

wind training arc more fully detail the training and its difficulties while showing Sakura fully supporting him

 

*itachi arc again more clearly show that while Hinatas feelings for him are genuine that shes still holding on to a childish crush not the fully realized feelings and its holding her back. have her be useful by revealing MORE then just what she sees in Kabuto, Have both Sakura and Hinata see how far the POAL is driving him to frustration and pain and have it be a point of contention between the two ladies

 

*Sage training arc have letters from Sakura show up encourageing him and pushing him to train harder

 

*Pein arc have Sakura destroy a pain body by herself to showcase her growth as well as a summoned monster Naruto big heroic entrance and battle. Hinatas sacrafice and confession hinata barely survives thanks to Sakuras fast thinking.  

*aftermath Naruto and Hinata talk and while Hinata admits shes losing to Sakura says she wont give up yet and wants naruto to be happy

 

*land of iron Sakura confesses in full but Naruto doesnt believe her as he senses shes holding something back which is the decision of the rookies to kill Sasuke. this leads to a brief rift between them. As Sakura makes her feelings far more direct and clear and chastises him for daring to belittle her feelings as if she were some fickle autumn wind
as they talk at the end Naruto accepts her feelings but wants her to have the chance to confront Sasuke first before they can move on they hug and have a quiet moment together

Kurama training arc Naruto again receives encouragement from Sakura in the form of a letter/ Naruto more direct with his mother about why he loves Sakura even though he doesnt feel he has a chance Kushina pushes him to fight for his heart and not give up so easilly Naruto has a moment with BOTH parents as the respective chakras are sealed within him and as long as the seals are intact he can talk to those echoes of them anytime

 

*War arc the war happens much as before with only changes being that Madara is the final bad guy and his defeat at the hands of naruto sakura and Sasuke ends the war with Obitos redemption and reconciliation with kakashi/ 

*ending Naruto and co mourn the dead Sasuke leaves withTaka and with him and Karin showing signs of growing trust and affection. Sasuke also clears the air wiith Sakura wishing her well, acknowledging her strength and at least partialy thanking her for her feelings. He asks her to take care of Naruto as the dummy will need her the most, 

Naruto and Sakura sit at the BENCH and the bench scene is resolved as they talk with their feelings resulting in a full on confession and kiss 

as they walk away Hinata finally acknowledges defeat bitterly before a passing leave and a bird reminds her of Neji and she steels herself walking away in a scene where he childish self runs off after naruto but her adult self goes to her father to demand to be trained as the heir to the clan making Hiashi Super daddy proud

tsunade continues as Hokage though she says she wont be one long as shes getting too old for this crap

 

prologue 

Naruto is Hokage and married to Sakura with Hanami and Shinachiku as kids

Shina is the familes shining star and the village heart throb 

Sakura is head medic and a legend in her own right

Sasuke is a wandering hero of the people with Taka ever faithful at his side. Sarada is their daughter and a childhood friend of Shina and hanas with a crush on Shina

the others have all grown in their own ways

 

as part of the aftermath we see black zetsu having finally gained enough chakra from the war to awaken Kaguya who becomes the BBEG in the Last Movie

From what I looked at apparently it's because they were saying or at least people who are anti SS were saying that Sai would be a better match for Sakura Than Sasuke

Not saying much. It can be said with all honesty that Sasori would have been better... And the guy is a kittening psycho who cut his own balls off.

Anyone would be a better match for Sakura then Sasuke.

 

Sakura is the girl that used for dating all the boys while Hinata is only for Naruto Kiba and in Japan Neji.
