NaruSaku a base that has never been built on. Romantically at-least
NaruSaku has never been a serious romantic relationship. Just never. The only thing we get that really has anything to do with them romantic wise would be, When Naruto says. "Sakura, a cute girl I'm kinda interested in." Great. He wants her so it has to happen in the end of the story, since he kinda liked her. And Naruto asking her out, and her kittenslapping him, and punching him into outer-space.(no offense I like Sakura) Have they ever has any romantic heart to heart conversations. Have they had any serious Romantic Scenarios at all. Have Naruto's feeling been elaborated on ever? Isn't it weird to have our hero have a crush on a girl and really not know why. Oh yes he said he likes her because she wants be acknowledged. Perfect! But there's another person who wants to be acknowledged too. Difference Sakura wants to be acknowledged by Sasuke. Hinata want to be acknowledged by Naruto. But whatever. Who the heck cares? She's a side character.
Naruto is not the only main character. Therefore he's not the only one who should get what he want's
Yes Naruto is our hero nobody can deny that. But he's not the only main character. has anyone ever heard of Sasuke, or maybe Sakura? Ya they're main characters too. But for some reason Naruto gets special treatment, so he gets the girl he was kinda interested in. But Sasuke gets nobody, because he deserves no love. Even though he lost his family and everything he held dear. Nope he just deserves to die, or rot in prison. No Sakura love for you Sasuke-KUN!!!! And you don't get your love either Sakura, sorry you have to be with Naruto because he had a crush on you, and is the hero, and since you're his teammate who's with him often for obvious reasons. And during these great amounts of time together, you guys have slowly been falling in love. I apologize for excessive sarcasm.
Naruto never said he has romantic feelings for Hinata
And he's never said he loves Sakura.(when i speak of love i mean romantic love.) He said "She's a cute girl I'm kinda interested in." And he said to Hinata "A person like you I really like". Kishi has made it obvious he likes them both. All NaruSaku has is a base that Kishimoto has chosen to not develop romantically. I'll take narusaku serious when Kishi stops making a joke out of it. And when he actually develops it instead of other pairings. Which maybe he's done for an obvious reason being, it isn't meant to happen? And just maybe, but again just a guess, the pairings he actually developed in a serious way are supposed to happen?
MinaKushi NaruSaku parallels
"Just try not to find someone weird, try to find someone like your mother." Is she trying to say find someone exactly like me who hits you and has a big mouth, has bright hair, and got made fun of in my childhood. What mother tells there child that? When she says find someone like your mother wouldn't make more sense for her to mean. Find someone who's loving and caring, and willing to do anything for you? Instead of someone who acts a lot like me? Which would basically be someone exactly like Naruto since it's been clearly stated that Naruto has Kushina's personality, I believe by Tsunade who knew her growing up, and Kushina herself. Hell I guess Tsunade gonna tell Sakura someday that she's exactly like Naruto's mom, so they should get married. Just doesn't make much sense.
Kushina and Minato's relationship was like Naruto and Sakura's when they were younger. Kushina and Minato fell in love when they were older. Naruto and Sakura didn't, except Sakura doesn't hate him anymore. There's also a big difference between MinaKushi and NaruSaku, which is Sasuke. There was no Sasuke in MinaKushi. Kushina didn't like anyone else. Sakura loves Sasuke and honestly Naruto isn't that upset by it. He was before he saw there relationship together. And hated Sasuke, and had a crush on Sakura because she was hot?. So I'm guessing since he wants team 7 to be like it used to be. He expects there relationship to be the same. Except maybe this time Sasuke won't be afraid to make that kind of bond with Sakura.
NaruHina fans are selfish, because they just care about Hinata feelings
I find this argument quite insulting, and hypocritical. Because if you want to say That Naruhina fans are selfish because they just care about HInata's feelings, you can say the same exact thing for NaruSaku. What about Sakura's feelings for Sasuke I guess they don't matter. And if Sakura can forget about Sasuke the boy she confessed her LOVE too, and start loving Naruto. Then Naruto can forget his feelings about the girl he said he was kinda interested in, and love Hinata who loves him. We have gotten no hints of Naruto becoming more interested in Sakura Romantically. What we've seen is them getting along with each other. Which is good based on there relationship in the beginning of part 1.
Chapter 450 the hug. Another failed NaruSaku moment. Which is a good thing
I just found it funny how so many people found it romantic. It's another example of how Kishimoto has many chances to develop NaruSaku romantically but chooses not too. First of all the hug represented how far Naruto's come so far. Kishimoto did this by showing the person who hated him so much in the beginning change her opinion about him completely. That hug was to show the thanks from the whole village, and that Naruto has truly been accepted now.
Now this could have been some NaruSaku romantic development. It could have been done easily too.
1-We could have seen Naruto actually hug her back.
2-They could have been blushing.
3-Naruto or Sakura could be thinking about the other in there head in a special way.
The hug was basically a base. That Kishimoto could have built on to make romantic . But choose not too. Like most other so called NaruSaku moments. If NaruSaku is to happen, I want serious NaruSaku development. Not the friendship stuff that he's been doing so well because maybe that what they're relationship is, friendship? No I mean actual romantic development, that we have gotten none of.
Sakura's 'confession'
This actually in a way put an end to NaruSaku to me in a way.The confession seen more as a joke by the overly made expressions on Lee and Yamato's faces. Yup really true love confession here. We can see the serious romantic aura surrounding the situation. Kishimoto once again is making a joke out of anything involving romance with Naruto and Sakura. Yamatos expression also proves that he had never thought Sakura had romantic feelings for Naruto. Which proves that whole unfinished sentence assumption wrong. Otherwise why would he be so surprised? Because it doesn't make any sense;Her confession. The "A woman's heart is a fickle thing, to me was ridiculous. Sakura is one of the least fickle people. She loves Sasuke that's not changing. I think the biggest blow to NaruSaku was the confession itself. Sakura stated all these great things about Naruto, which would be reasons why she really could fall for him.So she knows all these great things about Naruto, but still has chosen not to seek him out romantically. Sakura's not interested in Naruto that way it's very simple. And Naruto has hardly been that interested in a long time. The confession was simply a coverup and a lie. Very plain to see. Naruto also said in the chapter you confessing just seems weird.
So for all we know Kushina's words could be a blow to NaruSaku. Not to NaruHina. Whens the last time we heard Naruto even think of Hinata as weird? And all the reasons he thought she was weird for don't make sense anymore. He knows she loves him which explains her behavior around him when they were younger. So Naruto think she's weird for loving him, and being shy around him because of that. Highly doubt it.
Why do I always find myself writing LAP'S????????????
Anyways I'm pretty sure the SakuSasu and NaruHina will come out in the end. Why would he elaborate so much on Hinata's feelings, have her confess and then have her rejected in the end. Like she hasn't been rejected enough. Or why make Sakura's feelings so strong for Sasuke? If they're just going to be useless in the end. Sasuke's a boy who's going to need this love Sakura wants to give him. It will also give him a chance to start loving again.
Also gaining Sakura's love has never even been a main goal of Naruto's. Yes he does want to be loved why wouldn't he. I mean he grew up with no parents. Basically Sakura isn't the only one who can give him that love that he wants. Hinata's there too. Maybe if he knew something about relationships he would have instantly given Hinata a chance, realizing her obvious crush. Instead he just goes to the popular girl most likely because everyone else liked her too and it was easy for him to see.
Also the fact that we have been shown 3 examples of Sakura acknowleding Hinata's feelings. The last stating she really loves him. If Sakura was really into Naruto why did she show no jealous feelings? Sakura know Hinata's feelings and excepts them. And Hinata has never seen Sakura's romantic feeling for Naruto at all. I don't know who has. Since they're not there. Usually the girl the guy isn't going to get with acknowledges the girl he will end up with feelings. And Sakura acknowledged Hinata's feelings. sooo I'm rambling now...take what I said as you will.
NaruSaku has never been a serious romantic relationship. Just never. The only thing we get that really has anything to do with them romantic wise would be, When Naruto says. "Sakura, a cute girl I'm kinda interested in." Great. He wants her so it has to happen in the end of the story, since he kinda liked her.

NaruSaku a base that has never been built on. Romantically at-least
Naruto's & Sakura's relationship was slowly built & had changed throughout the manga, romance or not, which the same can't be said for NaruHina or SasuSaku, NaruHina & SasuSaku had their moments, but then they go back to stage 1, that is the difference, before you can have real romance, you have to have development, such as now to the point that it appears Sakura feels something for Naruto. And even though Naruto never actually said "I love you" to Sakura, he shown it in part 1, and it has been implied twice recently, first through Sai's flashback, and last during Sakura's "confession". Naruto doesn't have to say he loves Sakura, we know he does, that isn't a secret, the secret is Sakura's feelings.
QUOTE (NaruHina Fan @ Nov 22 2011, 12:04 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Naruto is not the only main character. Therefore he's not the only one who should get what he want's.
Naruto is THE main character, Sasuke & Sakura(along with Kakashi) are part of the main cast, but there is 1 main character & that is Naruto. Sasuke doesn't even love Sakura, or no one for that matter, as for Sakura, she appears to have feelings for Naruto, so I don't even understand that argument. You are implying that Naruto's feelings have to change so Sakura & Hinata can have their first love, which I think is silly, especially since Sakura appears to be leading towards Naruto anyway, the only one who will be left hanging is Hinata, and she's a side character, people make her feelings more important than it actually is to the story.

Naruto never said he has romantic feelings for Hinata
Again, it has been implied twice recently that he loves Sakura, 1st being Sai's flashback, & 2nd being Naruto's reaction to the Sakura's confession. As for saying "I like people like you" to Hinata is very misleading, that doesn't mean he likes her, it mean that she's a likable person. We did see serious development between Naruto's & Sakura's relationship, such as POAL, Rescue Gaara arc & Sasuke & Sai arc, even though it is a slow development, it's consistent, unlike NaruHina or SasuSaku. And yes there is comedy with NaruSaku, but that's a common trait with the main character relationships in Shonen mangas.

MinaKushi NaruSaku parallels
You going by what is weird to you instead of what would be weird to Kushina. Kushina was similar(not the same, but similar)to Sakura when she was younger, so she wouldn't consider Sakura weird, & we also have to remember that Naruto's personality comes from Kushina, & who did Naruto once consider weird? Hinata. It's way too early to say Kushina & Minato fell in love while Naruto & Sakura didn't, the story isn't over yet, Naruto & Sakura are only 16 years old, there is still plenty of time, and Sasuke will likely be the reason why Naruto & Sakura haven't fell in love yet(if they do), Sakura has to know her own feelings first. You said we don't know why Naruto loves Sakura even though he said why in part 1, why does Sakura loves/loved Sasuke? That she actually never said, the fact is Sakura's feelings for Sasuke was based on a fangirl crush that almost every girl had. Naruto's feelings for Sakura was never about looks, which the same can't be said for Sakura towards Sasuke.

NaruHina fans are selfish, because they just care about Hinata feelings
This was just biased, so you saying Naruto's feelings can change but Sakura's feelings has to stay the same. The difference between Sakura & Naruto is that Sakura's feelings appears to have changed, unlike Naruto. Naruto knew who he fell for, but Sakura didn't, Sakura fell for an image she thought was Sasuke, which the reason why Sakura's feelings grew for Sasuke because of Naruto henging to Sasuke & pretending to be him, so it's obvious she prefers Naruto's personality.

Chapter 450 the hug. Another failed NaruSaku moment. Which is a good thing
I'm not into these little moments as some fans are, & I agree with you, but some of your answers go against you, such as why Naruto didn't hug Sakura back, which it's because Naruto was too shock by it since he loves her, it was something he always wanted to happen. As for Naruto or Sakura thinking about the other in their heads, Kishimoto is milking the shipping wars, he isn't going to give anything away, that's obvious, that's why we don't truly know Sakura's feelings yet. It was too serious of a moment to blush, Naruto was too shock by the hug, & Sakura was glad he was alive. You want some "serious" moments between NaruSaku, how about lets have moments period between NaruHina & SasuSaku?

Sakura's 'confession'
The "confession" ended in a bad way, but it shows a few things, Sakura is choosing Naruto's safety over Sasuke being brought back, and it shows that Sakura will rather go kill Sasuke herself, risking her life & risking having Naruto hate her, than to tell Naruto the truth & hurt his feelings, and people never see it that way. Also, because the confession ended in a bad way, Kishimoto has to get back to it eventually, it's something that will not be ignored, haven't you ever heard save the best for last? As for Hinata's confession, she got her feelings out to Naruto, and she never expect anything in return, she didn't expect Naruto to fall for her, she thought she would die, so she confessed, people don't realised that the confession was more for Hinata than NaruHina, because Hinata finally revealed her feelings, it's unlikely that we actually get back to it, she had her closure as a character. Also the fact that we don't actually knows how Sakura feels, both of Sakura's confession to Sasuke & Naruto, there is 1 important similarity, and that is that she was trying to stop both of them from doing something, she doing it hoping to stop them, she has to do it on her own accord. As for Kushina's words, Naruto doesn't considered Hinata weird anymore, but he did at one point, and yes now he knows why, but she could had always told him how she feels, just like how Sakura always knew Naruto & Lee like her, & Sasuke knew Sakura & Ino like him, they was open about it, unlike Hinata, so that is no excuse for her. NaruHina will need some development before it happen, the confession itself won't make Naruto fall for Hinata, otherwise LeeSaku & SasuSaku would be canon. SasuSaku has no chance of happening, Sasuke being alive in the end is slim, Sasuke falling for Sakura is even slimmer, what are the chance of Naruto failling for Hinata & Sasuke falling for Sakura if they are never around them, they would need screentime around each other for development, otherwise Naruto would just be with Hinata because he couldn't get with Sakura, & Sasuke falling for Sakura now would just make no sense. I don't think no one ever said Naruto's goal was to gain Sakura's love, so that argument doesn't make sense, that just fanfic crap. Sakura was never considered the popular girl, so that doesn't make sense either. If you seen Sakura's eyes, you can see that she shown a little sadness when she was talking about Hinata's feeling toward Naruto, even if Sakura accepts Hinata's feelings, that doesn't mean anything, Naruto still has to feel the same, it's up to Naruto, not Sakura.

No offense, but for someone who say to be open-minded, your answers were typical, you just made it long to appear like it's not, & you was biased in some of your answers.
NaruSaku replay rant 2 --Click here to view--
You need a base for any real relationship to last long, NaruSaku has a better base right now than NaruHina & SasuSaku combined, as for saying NaruSaku has no romance built, that is not the case, their are small moments, such as Sakura flirting with Naruto in the beginning of part 2 or Sakura willing to feed Naruto when his arm was damaged(consider romantic in Japan culture), you don't need 1 big moment all the time, but you do need consistency, which NaruHina & SasuSaku do not have. Sakura's feelings for Sasuke gotten stronger throughout part 1, which was 3 years ago, we don't know how she feels now for Sasuke as she never said, other characters had said it, but Sakura herself has yet to say. I have a sister, and I can tell you that Naruto & Sakura do not have such relationship, you don't flirt with your brother or ask your sister out on a date. As for SasuSaku develop, that's long gone, and I wouldn't say it's a romance development because regardless of that, Sasuke never gained feelings for her, sure he started to care about her as a teammate, but that's it.
Only Sakura's feelings is a secret, hence why her feelings are the most important. We know Naruto loves Sakura, his reaction to the Sakura's confession said it all, he told Sakura to stop joking around, that shows he still take his feelings seriously, also in Sai's flashback, the reason why Naruto didn't tell Sakura how he feels is because he believes that Sakura still loves Sasuke, he wants her to be happy, and he implied that he can't tell Sakura how he feels until Sasuke is back, he wants her to give him a honest answer, hence why he "rejected" Sakura's confession. As for Sasuke, he tried to kill Sakura twice recently, we know he doesn't feel any romance for Sakura.
Naruto is THE main character, THE hero, THE protagonist, it's his manga, hence why it's call NARUTO, NOT Team 7. Sakura wouldn't be could the main heroine, she officially is the Leading Female, Sasuke is the anti-hero, they are part of the main cast. When I said Sasuke doesn't love anyone, I meant romanticly, it's obvious he loves his family & his clan, but it doesn't change how Sasuke had always felt towards Sakura, he never developed anything for her as a love interest. Sakura & Naruto are not going to act different around another, and they shouldn't, that's how real relationships & friendships work, I'll be more worried if they did, that's what make their friendship strong & great, they can be natural around each other.
It's been implied that Naruto loves Sakura & no one else. It's been stated by other characters in part 2 that Sakura loves Sasuke, it also been implied that Sakura may have feelings for Naruto. However, it has NEVER been implied that Sasuke/Naruto may have feelings for Sakura/Hinata. Being a likeable person doesn't mean "I like you", it means that person is cool. There isn't going to be any OBVIOUS serious romance between NaruSaku if any, just little moments as of now, the difference between this manga & other mangas is that there is a "3-way" romance going on & people care too much about it, & Kishimoto is milking it as much & long as he can.
Kushina & Sakura have similarities, they are not the same, so saying that Kushina didn't do a fake confession is a moot point. You can't concluded that Kushina would think that Sakura's fake confession was weird, Sakura had done it mainly to protect Naruto, so Kushina would more than likely appreaciate that. Who ever said it would take Naruto & Sakura 5 years to develop a relationship? If that's the case it will take NaruHina & SasuSaku even longer so that argument doesn't work. Sakura will figure out her feelings soon, likely during the Naruto vs Sasuke final fight. You know why Naruto like Sakura, they both wanted to be acknowledged, even though you can say that's not a good reason, it's good enough for Naruto to apparently have his feelings developed into love. Sakura's crush did developed into love(thanks to Naruto), but why? That she never explained. Since you brought up Ino, Ino's feelings weren't dropped, she just doesn't get nearly as much screentime, when she found out Sasuke had to be killed, she was crying, something Sakura wasn't doing for Sasuke.
I don't say NaruHina fans are selfish, but you guys do think about Hinata's feelings too much, you said that NaruSaku fans think about Naruto's feelings too much, of course we do, he's THE main character, he should get his first choice, not Sakura or Hinata. However, the difference between NaruHina & NaruSaku is that NaruHina appears to be 1-sided right now, while at least Sakura appears to have feelings for Naruto, that is the major difference. So we don't only think about Naruto, we think about Sakura to, & Sakura should be with someone she can be natural with, not someone who just tried to kill her.
The panel was way too short for Naruto to recovered from the shock of the hug.
Sakura knows how important Sasuke is to Naruto, she couldn't tell him the truth, & she knows that because Naruto will refused to kill Sasuke & stop anyone who tries to, so she gave a fake "confession", which I think people underestimated what a risk she took, what if Naruto accepted the confession, what would happen then? They would had went back to the village, as Sakura intented. I don't think Sakura would took such a gamble if she didn't have some feelings for Naruto. People tent to forget that Sakura attempting to kill Sasuke was a backup plan & her bringing Naruto back to the village was the initial plan.
Hinata's confession was for couple of reasons, for Hinata's story to be over, for plot device(6-tail Naruto), and for Sakura to healed her & realised Hinata's feelings(hence why Hinata wasn't killed & brought back to life like the others). It wasn't for Naruto as a character, and when did I ever said Hinata lied to Naruto? Hinata did have closure as a character, Hinata fans just want more, her status in the Hyuga clan isn't important to the story, there is nothing to wrap up in her confession, NaruHina fans wouldn't feel that way, but to fans in general, we feel like it's done, there is too many things going on to get back to it, especially since Hinata wasn't expecting anything in return.
It still doesn't changed Sakura's intentions as for why she confessed to Naruto & Sasuke, another thing that people don't realised with Sakura's confession, no one ever accused Sakura for lying about her feelings for Naruto, she was accused lying about not caring about Sasuke anymore, which was an obvious lie. Ino recently crying for Sasuke indicates that she still feels something for Sasuke, as for Lee, I think his feelings were just dropped, but it also goes by popularity. NaruSaku/NaruHina/SasuSaku are known as the Big 3 for a reason, they are popular, Kishimoto would lose a lot of fans if Hinata's feelings were dropped, Hinata not having feelings for Naruto anymore would make her irrevelant.
Only Sakura's feelings is a secret, hence why her feelings are the most important. We know Naruto loves Sakura, his reaction to the Sakura's confession said it all, he told Sakura to stop joking around, that shows he still take his feelings seriously, also in Sai's flashback, the reason why Naruto didn't tell Sakura how he feels is because he believes that Sakura still loves Sasuke, he wants her to be happy, and he implied that he can't tell Sakura how he feels until Sasuke is back, he wants her to give him a honest answer, hence why he "rejected" Sakura's confession. As for Sasuke, he tried to kill Sakura twice recently, we know he doesn't feel any romance for Sakura.
Naruto is THE main character, THE hero, THE protagonist, it's his manga, hence why it's call NARUTO, NOT Team 7. Sakura wouldn't be could the main heroine, she officially is the Leading Female, Sasuke is the anti-hero, they are part of the main cast. When I said Sasuke doesn't love anyone, I meant romanticly, it's obvious he loves his family & his clan, but it doesn't change how Sasuke had always felt towards Sakura, he never developed anything for her as a love interest. Sakura & Naruto are not going to act different around another, and they shouldn't, that's how real relationships & friendships work, I'll be more worried if they did, that's what make their friendship strong & great, they can be natural around each other.
It's been implied that Naruto loves Sakura & no one else. It's been stated by other characters in part 2 that Sakura loves Sasuke, it also been implied that Sakura may have feelings for Naruto. However, it has NEVER been implied that Sasuke/Naruto may have feelings for Sakura/Hinata. Being a likeable person doesn't mean "I like you", it means that person is cool. There isn't going to be any OBVIOUS serious romance between NaruSaku if any, just little moments as of now, the difference between this manga & other mangas is that there is a "3-way" romance going on & people care too much about it, & Kishimoto is milking it as much & long as he can.
Kushina & Sakura have similarities, they are not the same, so saying that Kushina didn't do a fake confession is a moot point. You can't concluded that Kushina would think that Sakura's fake confession was weird, Sakura had done it mainly to protect Naruto, so Kushina would more than likely appreaciate that. Who ever said it would take Naruto & Sakura 5 years to develop a relationship? If that's the case it will take NaruHina & SasuSaku even longer so that argument doesn't work. Sakura will figure out her feelings soon, likely during the Naruto vs Sasuke final fight. You know why Naruto like Sakura, they both wanted to be acknowledged, even though you can say that's not a good reason, it's good enough for Naruto to apparently have his feelings developed into love. Sakura's crush did developed into love(thanks to Naruto), but why? That she never explained. Since you brought up Ino, Ino's feelings weren't dropped, she just doesn't get nearly as much screentime, when she found out Sasuke had to be killed, she was crying, something Sakura wasn't doing for Sasuke.
I don't say NaruHina fans are selfish, but you guys do think about Hinata's feelings too much, you said that NaruSaku fans think about Naruto's feelings too much, of course we do, he's THE main character, he should get his first choice, not Sakura or Hinata. However, the difference between NaruHina & NaruSaku is that NaruHina appears to be 1-sided right now, while at least Sakura appears to have feelings for Naruto, that is the major difference. So we don't only think about Naruto, we think about Sakura to, & Sakura should be with someone she can be natural with, not someone who just tried to kill her.
The panel was way too short for Naruto to recovered from the shock of the hug.
Sakura knows how important Sasuke is to Naruto, she couldn't tell him the truth, & she knows that because Naruto will refused to kill Sasuke & stop anyone who tries to, so she gave a fake "confession", which I think people underestimated what a risk she took, what if Naruto accepted the confession, what would happen then? They would had went back to the village, as Sakura intented. I don't think Sakura would took such a gamble if she didn't have some feelings for Naruto. People tent to forget that Sakura attempting to kill Sasuke was a backup plan & her bringing Naruto back to the village was the initial plan.
Hinata's confession was for couple of reasons, for Hinata's story to be over, for plot device(6-tail Naruto), and for Sakura to healed her & realised Hinata's feelings(hence why Hinata wasn't killed & brought back to life like the others). It wasn't for Naruto as a character, and when did I ever said Hinata lied to Naruto? Hinata did have closure as a character, Hinata fans just want more, her status in the Hyuga clan isn't important to the story, there is nothing to wrap up in her confession, NaruHina fans wouldn't feel that way, but to fans in general, we feel like it's done, there is too many things going on to get back to it, especially since Hinata wasn't expecting anything in return.
It still doesn't changed Sakura's intentions as for why she confessed to Naruto & Sasuke, another thing that people don't realised with Sakura's confession, no one ever accused Sakura for lying about her feelings for Naruto, she was accused lying about not caring about Sasuke anymore, which was an obvious lie. Ino recently crying for Sasuke indicates that she still feels something for Sasuke, as for Lee, I think his feelings were just dropped, but it also goes by popularity. NaruSaku/NaruHina/SasuSaku are known as the Big 3 for a reason, they are popular, Kishimoto would lose a lot of fans if Hinata's feelings were dropped, Hinata not having feelings for Naruto anymore would make her irrevelant.
These are not my replay but they are perfect for this scenario.
