The way i see it is, even though NaruHina seems to be very weird at the moment, the fact is Naruto is such a versatile character he can be paired with almost anyone under the right circumstances, however when i look at characters like Sasuke and Sakura, i cant see them being together, especially from Sakura's side, i think her being with Sasuke would only hinder her. I also think Sasuke would be better with a more quiter girl, since he is a quiet person himself.

Anyway, i know SasuSaku has more canon evidence, but i could see NaruHina being alot better as a relationship.

SasuSaku - Sorry, I respect all opinnion but I don't understand one thing - how could SasuSaku work better, how would it work at all? What I saw in this paring was all the time crying/weak-Sakura and Sasuke-bastard, who doesn't give a damn about her in romantic way. And there are people who call it cute *wtf*
I don't get it ><
Maybe they also live in some sort of fairy tale that he is a sweet guy who only like to play a role of main emo >>
In my opinnion he should die in the end (and I really hope he will) - it's not like I hate him or something actually I pity him he is lost man who made all the wrong choices from the very beginning...

NaruHina - I don't like Hinata as a character. Also she is so over popular that I'm sick of this. I'm sick of this paring, no more please ><

I only see NaruSaku or nothing at all.

[Rick (Bonta-kun)]

Actually the reason why people like SasuSaku is because they have a different view of Sasuke than you, they think he cares alot more about her than whats shown, personally i dont agree, however i could be wrong. Also from what ive seen Sakura is alot more popular than Hinata overall, Hinata is only more popular when paired with Naruto, unlike Sakura who seems to be paired with anything that has 2 legs thanks to the crazy Sakura fangirls.

It's hard for me to tell bc I don't fool around at narutofan forums or else, I have the view from deviantart and youtube, -> but if it goes to polish fandom most of people hate Sakura and love Hinata ==" to the point that they are obsessed over her > (but they don't support SasuSaku that much at last...)

It's funny bc from the beginning I was a huge SasuNaru fan and anti SS/NH (those couples were lame for me simple as that) AND then I become a NaruSaku supporter after I read manga (but it's another story and who cares ;p)

If it goes to Hinata - they pair her with everyone too, I saw vid with HinaGaara or HinaItachi (damn!).
Sakura? I like some Sakura crack parings, I don't mind them (but when I saw PeinXSakura fanclub at deviantart I was Oo)

[Rick (Bonta-kun)]

My answer was based more off FF.net with the crazy crack Sakura pairings, KakaSaku and ItaSaku are so damn popular there for crack pairings that it makes no sense, especially ItaSaku. Hinata would probably be the second most paired off character that ive seen for females and she does have alot of attention too, but most of her attention comes from NaruHina, and it still doesnt compare to Sakuras attention. As for DA and youtube, well i cant speak for DA since i dont go there much, but from what ive seen at youtube, its heavy NaruHina territory, which is probably why you thought she was more popular.

[Tsunade]

As much as I hate to admit it, I'd say SasuSaku.

Mostly because I was a fan of it before I started liking NaruSaku.

I'm not a fan of it anymore. I think that some of the writers are to immature to even write a good SasuSaku fic.

Sakura alot more popular than Hinata????
Rick...no way!
She's terrible hated among the fandom. Hinata is probably the most popular girl.
Whatever General Naruto site you go on, I always notice Sakura winning the Most Hated polls.

Well, she is both actually, from what ive seen she is the most loved and hated female, as weird as that sounds. I think this because mainly because of fanfiction.net though, on that side she is paired with everyone, and Sakura crack pairings seem to be the most common on there.

[Chidori Mistress]

Perhaps, but despite pairings there are those who like pairings but not one of the characters involved.
It's just like the Bleach fanbase, Orihime is paired off with everyone but she is also the most hated female.
The only character than can be recognised as being extremely hated and loved by the Naruto fanbase is Sasuke.

But it's true that Sakura's hate is decreasing which is good.

The only character than can be recognised as being extremely hated and loved at the same time by the Naruto fanbase is Sasuke IMO.

To be truthful, I would prefer NaruHina. I like this pairing, and really, I dun mind Naruto having a gentle and shy girl as well.

SasuSaku...well, it's one of my huge dislikes, so no.

[Leney]

I would prefer SasuSaku. I can read and have read SasuSaku fics. Although the ones with a Team 7 love triangle make me sad for Naruto, but I guess I like torturing myself because I can't seem to back out of them.

But NaruHina, even in the best of stories it will harsh my squee. Hinata by herself is okay, I guess. But I just can't stand how a lot of people write their relationship with each other. As if Naruto is going to fall in love with her once he knows she likes him.

Give me a story where Hinata does more for herself than build up the courage to talk to Naruto, and then maybe I can read it.

I think bjfactory said it best:

Oh, and the real reason I hate NaruHina is because it's a stupid concept that most fics base it on. It's like, well, Hinata loved him since he was an idiot and a nobody. He should be gratful she loved him when no one else did. Because when you love someone, they should be grateful and receprocate because they are grateful to be loved at all.

WTF?!

And even if she did like Naruto before he was worth noticing by anyone else, she still did zip for him. She didn't go to him when he needed a friend and she wasn't there for him when he needed encouragement. I DESPISE the idea of NaruHina because as much as she supposedly felt for him - which at this point could be more admiration than anything else - she never stepped out of her comfort zone for him. (Fighting Neji doesn't count because that wasn't fighting for Naruto but for herself; and I acknowledge she encouraged him before his fight with Neji, but that was still not really stepping out of her comfort zone for him)

Hinata can't love Naruto truly because she doesn't love herself. It's not going to work because Naruto need someone who believes in him and who believes in herself, to be there for him and stand up for him when the world is against him. Hinata doesn't fit that bill right now and until she shows something a little more worthy to stand up to Naruto's dreams and who Naruto is becoming, I will continue to dislike NaruHina with the intensity that I do.

[AnimeGirl_123]

NaruHina. <3 (Don't base the pairing off of fics, because quite frankly, all fanfics can be bad for every pairing)

I like it, ok. :/ It's not a bad pairing if you think about it... I like the drop out thing and how they can make each other smile (not that Sakura can't, but you get my point) And Hinata does love Naruto, so. I don't think anyone should deny this. If you question her feelings for him, that's like questioning Naruto's for Sakura. Both are romantic.

SasuSaku... it's just... too angsty for me. XD I feel like Sakura can do much better when she's with Naruto than Sasuke. ::

[Migz]

Naruhina is an okay pairing I mean, I don't hate it but i just don't see it happining in the future. They are complete opposites in personality, like ones loud and ones quite.

[Unexpectations]

Well I hate SasuSaku more because if Sakura forsakes Naruto for Sasuke, it's like she's kicking Naruto in the face and saying, "Even after everything you did for me, I'll still go and be with Sasuke!" ...And although NaruHina is even less likely, A. Hinata's not a major character... (It would be like J. K. Rowling's horrible and comepletely illogical choice of HG instead of HHr(Sorry I can't keep my shipping preferences for Harry Potter to myself...)) and B. I don't see Naruto giving up on Sakura for anyone... BUT! Of the two evils I choose NaruHina as my least hated...

[Wilson]

Well, sasusaku is pretty shaky now. Lol, so is NH. But yeah, I'll pick NH.

[SakuNaruLover]

Well I dislike SasuSaku with passion, while I just dislike NaruHina ( I pick Temari and Ino above Hinata with Naruto)

But I have to say that SasuSaku has had some growth and it would make more sense to me than NaruHina. If Hinata and Naruto's relation would grow a bit, it would be another story. But at the moment I would mind NaruHina more if it suddenly happened than SasuSaku.

[Derock]

I'll go with neither. I both dislike SasuSaku and NaruHina.

[Amii]

I have a few reasons why I dislike both. Both NaruHina and SasuSaku, in my opinion, are an insult to the female characters. I know that girls generally enjoy this pairing more then the guys do (I dont have solid reasoning, but at my school we are split into the NaruHinas and SasuSakus to the NaruSakus. Me, and about... 3 other girls are they only girls on the NaruSaku side, the mass majority being boys, while the NaruHina and SasuSaku are ALL girls.) This is because most girls can relate to being shy and liking the popular boy that never noticed them, I know I can. NaruHina and SasuSaku follow the "shoujo manga formula", which personally, I can't stand.

However, I prefer SasuSaku over NaruHina by MILLIONS. Sasuke and Sakura have had contact, and despite Sakura being a little shy torward Sasuke, she doesn't faint everytime he is near her... haha. She even has dirty thoughts.

So meh.
And I dont think Hinata could make Naruto as happy as Sakura does.


Dont kill me!


And Unexpectations...
You're avatar with Naruto... is pretty hawt.

Haaa.

Lol, i can't help but point out, the moments Sakura had with Sasuke...were all when she was a fangirl...a hardout fangirl...

And well, NaruHina just has this purifying thing. How to explain...hmmm, well, basically, she seems more like the type to be able to control Naruto's Kyuubi chakra if needed, seeing how her Byakugan sees all.

Sasuke is tainted and Sakura unable to stop him, and for that, I dislike the pairing. Hinata cheered for Naruto in part one, and gained his respect somewhat. THough Sakura gained taht off Sasuke too, it's a bit cold and distant.

I pick NH over SS. Definitely.

Word. Although I think NaruHina is an insult to both characters in the paring. It's probably what makes me dislike a little more than SasuSaku. SasuSaku may make Sakura look bad imo, but Sasuke usually gets a personality graft in the process.

Me, and about... 3 other girls are they only girls on the NaruSaku side, the mass majority being boys, while the NaruHina and SasuSaku are ALL girls.)

From what I've seen, SasuSaku is predominantly girls. NaruHina is somewhat even and NaruSaku is predominantly boys.

NaruHina and SasuSaku follow the "shoujo manga formula", which personally, I can't stand.

While I was writing my fic, I totally came to that realization. If the Naruto series was named Sakura and it was a shoujo manga, the final pairing would SO be SasuSaku and Naruto would be that best friend character that I always root for, but end up being sorely disappointed when he doesn't get Sakura. And he'd probably end up with Hinata.

But that's not true thank god!

But I am a shoujo manga fan so that is funny! Although NaruSaku reminds me of KoizumixOtani from Lovely Complex, and that pairing was the best.
