NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NEJI. WHY?! WHY COULDN'T IT HAVE BEEN HINATA?!
Okay jokes aside.
Yeah, Neji's death has basically confirmed my theory on Naruto's obsession. Neji didn't say "take care of Hinata," but pointed out how everyone is trying to fight for his life. To throw his life away for Sasuke is....pointless and every death that occurs in the war would be a waste if Naruto just let Sasuke kill him.
It is almost like everyone from Itachi to Neji are trying to say to him: "Look, we know you want to save Sasuke, but dying doesn't make the world better. Everyone here is fighting for you and even dying for your sake. Don't throw away their sacrifice." This is very important in Naruto's growth. More or less, he basically told Naruto "stop being selfish and pretend it all is up to you."
I think this obsession also means something to Hinata too. Hinata is so willing to die for Naruto that she does stupid things too. She is also obsessed. Neji's death and the fact he said that you can't be obsessed with one thing when the world is so much bigger maybe has an effect on her showing her that while she can still love Naruto, Naruto is not the only thing in her life. After his death, after what she has lost, it is time for her to open her eyes to the world and not just on Naruto.
You know, I was worried that Hinata was getting all this attention, but I realized I was expecting this. I knew Hinata was going to have a focus for a while not for shipping wars, but for her own development. I wouldn't be surprised if Kishi was getting this all out of the way now so that Sakura can have her light to shine. This way it satisfies the NH fans for Hinata getting some time. So yes, let them "have this," but I have a feeling we are going to get our time to shine towards the end. Even in other manga, the other love interests got their time to shine before the main character was like "I'm sorry, but I can't be with you. I love another."
Thinking about it like this, while yes it is crap that Sakura is being pushed aside, but I have a good feeling Sakura will regain focus. No one is closer to Naruto than Sakura is and when the war dies down and the bodies have been buried I know Sakura will be right there for him to comfort him in a way that Hinata can not. Sakura still have demons in her closet too, but those demons cannot be touched upon until Sasuke shows back up in the picture.
If that is what Kishi is doing then let's get it over with. Let the NH fans have their little fun and pretend everything is going their way. I rather keep reading the manga.
Also, I am going to continue to stand by my original prediction with Obito getting redemption through self sacrifice. Obito's resolves is very....shaky. He looks as though he is about to go against Madara and Madara looks like he is about to betray Obito some how. I like the idea someone mentioned (sorry I forgot) of Sakura dying and Obito resurrecting her because Obito sees Rin in her. That is a good idea of a fanfic too.
That would reinforce NaruSaku more especially if Naruto gets super emotional with Sakura's death.
I am going to hold out and say that Obito can still be the good guy we used to know and love. It won't change what he has done, but doesn't mean he couldn't change himself.
Well that was me. I wont worrie for NH haplening since i know that in shonen the shy girl almost neber gets the guy and also we have kushina saying to find someone like her. NH wouldnt only go against the storyline of shonen, it would also go against his own story.
