1. He never said that.
2. I think she would be confused. Very confused. She wouldn't know what to think or feel. If he was in love with her then, it would make it even worse..that's how you treat your lover. lolz don't forget the apple smacking.
And about the recent parallels..
Is MinaxMina canon too?I also agree with what T XD said. There's a difference between the panel I showed and the one in this chapter. It looks like Naruto is imagining Kushina in his mind in 645(just like what Minato is doing), or it emphazises that she's always with him in some way. Either way I don't think it's a parallel because then Minato's words would've been different too.
When I see Naruto, I think more of Minato than Kushina. I agree that he has inherited her rash- and boldness, but that's it. :/ Naruto inherited Minato's legacy and dreams, that means more than his behaviour.
And;;; Even if Naruto is paralleled with Kushina, it does not make Hinata the new Minato..at all.
One more thing; Naruto has been compared to Kushina, but not paralleled to her. Different things, right?
They excuse his whole behavior towards Sakura and i mean all of it , because of the clan thing , i was tempted to respond with the words : Naruto suffered and his family was killed too , not to mention that he was despised by everybody , but did he act like that ?'' But i held it in .
About the parallel thing , it actually does by their logic because :
-Watching their loved ones from afar, saving them, risking their life for the ones they love. (Sakura,Sasuke and everybody else didn't do that , apparently)
-And Naruto/Kushina are soooo similar. Their strong, loud personality. Even their dream to be Hokage, so then they can be acknowledged.
I don't remember Minato admiring Kushina from afar , maybe i missed something , someone care to fill me in ? And i do recall good that Minato wanted to bee a hokage too???
So minakushi= hinanaru ?
With the rest i agree.
