The only way that NaruHina could be canon, if Hinata is part of the final team 7 conclusion(AND I REALLY DON'T SEE THAT HAPPENING). Hinata needs to be involve in some kind of way the final moments in the series. Kishi never shown Hinata to be important or having a big impact in the series. Hell Team 8 barely been used in part 2, Team 10 and Team Gai been used more the them. When Kurenai was pregnant during Asuma death, it was Team 10 that was more involve around that ark then Team 8. You'll think Team 8 will get some development, specially Hinata, but just like in the whole series, Hinata barely gets screen time and barely has development with Naruto.

Another thing that might show signs NaruHina, if NaruSaku talk about their romance before NaruHina does theirs. I don't see that happen because Naruto have to redeem Sasuke first before Naruto talks about his feelings for Sakura and Hinata have to be some can of way to part of final arks of the series, which I already mention, don't see that happening.

Same thing goes for SasuSaku, for the order to make SasuSaku to be canon, Sakura got to have a big impact on Sasuke and she has to be the one to convert him, not Naruto(I AND I REALLY REALLY DON'T SEE THAT HAPPENING). The closes Sakura is gonna get to redeeming Sasuke if it's Team 7 related.

Come on, you think kishi is gonna make Naruto redeem Sasuke, Sakura runs to Sasuke, Sasuke is gonna have some pulls**t/ass-pull story by he always loved Sakura(by a flachback or something), than Sakura has some crazy legitimate reason for loving Sasuke, and than they become canon in front of Naruto's face(poor Naruto), and than Naruto returned to the village where Hinata is waiting for him, than Naruto make his pulls**t/ass-pull story saying how he fell in love with Hinata, than Hinata repeats why he loves Naruto and than they become canon, The End.

I'm I sorry, but that just ass-pull at it's finest.

What does anyone think about this.

Aren't you on the wrong site? There are N.H. sites all over the net a lot of us find your ideas completly opposite to ours ... So why are you here?Is it to piss us off.because I can play that game if that is what you want.

Derock is right: fans of all pairings are welcome. We are dedicated to NS and if opposing fans have no issue with that and can obey all the rules they are welcome.

You have been a member since 2009 and I know I and the other mods have had to state this rule plenty of times. You ought to know better.

Fans who come here only to troll us will be dealt with, but only when they actually troll.

Exuse you? I am here to listen/debate about your opinions on your pairing etc. No, I am not here to "piss" anyone off. Assumptions, assumptions.

I'm allowed to be here as you are too. Remeber that.

Sigh... I can also play that game. I have to warn you though, I have a bad temper. But alas, I will not use my time and effort flamming you.

While he was wrong to tell you that, please don't exasperate the problem by taking the bait.

That's exactly how I think...

Why Kishi focus so much in the Naruto and Sakura development, plus he knows why fans like Hinata more than Sakura and say that he will change Sakura to a more heroine like character.

He make Sakura aware of the depth of Narutos feelings towards her, how will that make Sakura looks if after everything that happen between she and Naruto she run back to Sasuke and leaves Naruto with a broken heart...

He also make Naruto's love so selfless, showing us how you truly prove a person that you really loves them and you will do everything in you power to make that person happy, in addition Naruto been the one that sacrifices himself the most to still end up with a broken heart and 2nd to Sasuke when it comes to Sakura the girl he likes. Bisides Sasuke has shown that he doesn't care about her that way.
Nice way to reward your hero with the only person he ever admits his loves to...

NaruHina is only about Hinata no one care about Naruto no one.

SasuSaku is all about the passionate love between Sasuke and Sakura is nothing about what the character really feel starting with good friendship, respect, support, trust, deep care, understanding the other party feeling and goals, growth in a relationship and many more. Same with NH with the exception of the passionate part, that is for girls that fantasies Sasuke true Sakura...

NH and SS in nothing like NS is more about Sasuke been a S*x god and Hinata the princess that need to have her Naruto - Kun because she wants him.

As of chapter 574, Sasuke has gone horridly insane. He will kill anyone without hesitation. Not to mention, that he tried to kill Sakura without any hesitation. I think it's impossible now for Sakura to convert Sasuke back to his old self. Considering he wouldn't even listen to her back in part one.

I don't live to debate agains NH because I don't have anything agains the Pairing only the way is been ship...

For NaruHina, it's believed to some that she deserves Naruto for all those years she's loved him. I'm like , b/c, besides the Pain fight, she hasn't done anything for Naruto. I mean, she helped save his life, that's no joke, but you don't deserve some **** for it(excuse me for being so crude. I barely curse irl, lol). But she really doesn't. Staring at someone from afar doesn't really do anything for them, you know? All you're doing is giving them the 'creepy' vibe.

I also don't really believe he is obligated to do anything about her feelings. I do think this is where arguments claiming she was the first this and that fall flat on it's face though. No point in trying to use how she was supposedly the first anything if it failed to have a profound effect from Hinata to Naruto exclusively. Naruto doesn't recognize Hinata as anyone who's had this huge impact on his life. if he does think of her it's usually alongside the rest of the konoha 11. that is the role she plays in helping to alleviate his loneliness, the same one given to everyone else that came to accept and appreciate him for who he is. if he narrows it down even further it'll start with Iruka and then Team 7. still no Hinata even though he is now aware of how long she's felt this way about him.

She cheered him up before his fight with Neji and that granted her moving up a notch from shy weirdo to people he likes which is nice and all but still hardly earth shattering for romantic development when you proceed to coast on just that for the next 400 and something chapters. even when it's no longer relevant to anything outside of that place and time.

Hinata's confession also changes nothing. he isn't given enough time to be more than surprised before she's being nearly killed in front of him. this is understandably upsetting and not only does it make his situation worse her words do nothing to give him strength in a time of need (unlike when he thinks of when kushina said it and draws strength from it while in similar peril)
after he is saved by Minato he uses the encouragement given by his father to continue fighting. he wasn't exactly thinking of how Hinata holds him in such high esteem when he was going on about how dumb and useless he believes he is to Minato. when he does get a moment to think about what just happened with Hinata it's to be relieved that she isn't dead. yay?

That's the last we hear of it (and we even get confirmation that he still holds a feelings for Sakura in meantime. ouch.) until recently when he cheers her up by telling her she's strong. again this doesn't broach the subject of the actual love part of her confession and people will say it's to "build suspense" or "wartime is not the place and time for a subject as important as this" but that's just bull*hit inappropriate timing didn't stop Hinata from pouring her heart out in the middle of a battlefield. doesn't stop Naruto from expressing how he feels if he feels strongly enough about it.

I wouldn't be surprised if that is the conclusion to her confession and what it means to him overall. there is no reason to take it any further at this point. then again I thought after she was shown smiling when he got his big heroes welcome back provided enough closure regarding this but that's just me I just disliked the idea in general of Naruto being obligated to respond in some way. he was glad she was okay, what more does one need to prove he at least appreciates her feelings? values her in some way? he hasn't forgotten that she tried to protect him and has acknowledged her strength as a result. or is anything less than a "I love you too" not good enough?

If you want to convince yourself that as it is now was all it takes to count for amazing development should NaruHina become canon in an epilogue the next time you see it well all I can do is laugh. then laugh some more.

I also dislike how Hinata doesn't appear to exist beyond anything else but Naruto. Naruto seems to be the only one worth protecting, fighting and getting strong for in the land of Hinata these days. her ambitions for herself? for her clan? where are those? but I guess there's only so much depth you can give to a side character. kishi has chosen "pairing fodder" for the sweet little Hinata that's sad.

I don't think that Naruhina can't happen. Yes Kishi can do whatever he wishes in his manga.
Sorry to tell you man,But there's no way that Kishi can devolp the pairing because Naruto is ending. I'am sorry to tell you again! That Naruto will never give up on Sakura,He knows that Sakura have feelings for Sasuke but that won't stop him. Even if Sasusaku happened. Naruto won't lose his feelings. And Kishi had alot of time back then. Did he devolp the pairing? No.

You are right, Kishi can do whatever he once with his story, but Kishi does ass-pull his story's, Kishi always put development with his characters, especially Naruto. Naruto have not at least once talk or think of Hinata in a romantic light.
And I never said that NaruHina can't happen, I'm just saying it will look like a ass-pull at this point in time the nearing end of the series.

I can't understand what your saying. Please re-frais.

What I meant was, before NaruHina becomes canon, NaruSaku have to talk about their feelings first and Hinata has to be part of the final battle some kind of way. Which I don't see that happening.

As of chapter 574, Sasuke has gone horridly insane. He will kill anyone without hesitation. Not to mention, that he tried to kill Sakura without any hesitation. I think it's impossible now for Sakura to convert Sasuke back to his old self. Considering he wouldn't even listen to her back in part one.

That is what I am saying, if Sakura has no influence on Sasuke, how the hell can it be canon.

Is this what you think us opposings fandoms think the ending will be? You know, there are some calm civilized fans. Not all
are crazed. That ending is nonsense. It would cause disruption to the main plot.

If NaruHina & SasuSaku becomes canon, it would look something close to the ending mention in my post.

Thank you for your logical post.

[Shadow Wolf]

I agree with Joseph and Zeref on this one. Is not that NaruHina is "impossible" (these words: always, never, impossible, etc. are far too strong to define things that could or could not happen). However, looking at both the manga and the anime, the pair who had the greatest development through the whole series, apart from Naruto and Sasuke (ying-yang) is Naruto and Sakura.

Now, let's not set ourselves in possibilities, let's look at the facts:

What Naruto sees in Sakura and Hinata?

What Sakura sees in Sasuke and Naruto?

What Hinata sees in Naruto and Sakura?

Answering these questions with the evidence on both manga and anime show that Naruto and Sakura know of each other more than what Hinata currently knows of Naruto.

Who have shared the most moments together?

I don't mean specific moments. I'm talking about each moment together.

How does a relationship develops?

Combine what you've seen in the manga with what's required in real life.

Finally, what's the resolution of each character at the moment regarding the following people (Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura and Hinata)?

Again, based on what we've seen in the manga and the anime.

When speaking about possibilities, anything can happen. But when it's about facts, it's impossible (yes, I've used the word here) to deny that both Naruto and Sakura have had the greatest development in the series.

Now, the most reasonable "possibility" is that Naruto and Sakura have more chances to become a couple than any other couple. It all follows logical reasoning.

Edited by Shadow Wolf, 21 February 2012 - 05:06 PM.

[CloudMountainJuror]

NaruHina can still happen to an extent of being realistic. It has very little for it, but, compared to SasuSaku, very little against it. NaruSaku is the most advantageous of the 3 as of right now. However, NaruHina still has a possibility. It may not happen as realistically as NaruSaku would, but it's possible nonetheless.
If SasuSaku happens, though, then that will be extremely counterproductive, after what's happened. If Kishi wants to write a legitimate, believable story, then these are the statuses of the pairings currently:

1. SasuSaku is on its deathbed right now.
2. NaruHina is on the edge of a cliff, hanging on, unlikely but still believably possible to an extent.
3. NaruSaku is near the finish line.

[redragon88]

I wouldn't comprehend it if Kishi didn't make a NaruSaku ending, seriously.

Jiraiya spends his whole life loving Tsunade who only started to love him back right before he gets killed.
Obito on the other hand feels regret before his death for never confessing to Rin who in turn loved Kakashi.

Kishi has gone out of his way to show how those two parallel Naruto. The only difference is that they died without achieving their dreams or winning the hearts of the girls they loved or in Jiraiya's case winning it too late. Both very tragic endings for such good characters.

Now imagine that after selflessly loving Sakura for such a long time she just up and went to be with Sasuke. What is the message here? The guy who tries his best can never get the girl he likes no matter what? It feels kinda sad to me. Shouldn't this type of character for once get the girl in this story? Kishi didn't have to make Jiraiya love Tsunade or Obito love Rin (or even Rin love Kakashi) for his story to make sense. In all honesty it took me by surprise when they both revealed their feelings right before their deaths.

Why reveal that both loved their respective female teammate right in the end if not for some purpose.

@Nate River: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to add fire to the fuel.

I must respectfully say that isn't an argument. When you say that, any crack pairing people make up should come true then cause Kishimoto "IS THE AUTHOR". Gay pairings and human/biju pairings should happen then. Heck Naruto should marry Tsunade if that's all you can come up with. Saying Kishimoto can do whatever he wants DOESN'T mean NH will happen, it means any pairing can happen so it will back fire on you, and I may not be a kage but refrain from doing that in the future. It was wrong for dfammer to tell you that but realiating only leads to more heated argument so ignore any bashing and the Kages will handle it, capiche?

episode 235 Naruto Shippuden: Naruto- "Sure, nothing would make me happier if she chooses me someday. But it's okay! As long as Sakura is happy, that's what counts."

Note Naruto says "nothing would make me happier", meaning that dating Hinata would not make Naruto as happy as if he were to date Sakura. Also, this anime is called Naruto, not Hinata.

side note- even though this is a filler, and thus does not count, you must admit that this means something. The way that even after Hinata and Sakura's confession, Naruto still says he loves Sakura over Hinata. With this, I conclude my point of view.

So with that, I can say, I agree Zeref.

[redragon88]

Thing is...it is filler. Therefore, it means absolutely nothing. Sorry, but it has no weight to it at all.

But on the other hand the point of filler is to expand the story using elements that will not contradict the story of the manga in the near future. I know romance is not the main theme of Naruto but is has been an important one in the last couple of years. Do you really think the anime team would actually trouble themselves making an episode to show that Naruto still loved Sakura if it was just going to be suddenly contradicted? I don't think Kishi would allow such an episode to be made if he was going to show Naruto changing his mind later on. If that episode wasn't created the audience would've been left wondering how Naruto truly felt but thanks to airing it the state of Naruto's feeling is once again reaffirmed.

Even if it was filler I believe that when it comes to showing Naruto say "I love this girl" in such a clear way they weren't gonna take it lightly since I'm sure that saying you love someone is a big deal in Japan.
