I wouldn't either. This isn't good writing, but you know as well as I do many fans of all sides only care about the final pairing; hell or high water.I mean, not to name names, but it's on display all over the place.
initially I was for it all but after so long, I felt as though the story wasn't what it used to be so I pretty much only cared about Sakura Naruto and NS. And any of my other favs.
