But I agree that it's frustrating that many people seem to brush away NS moments as all friendship bonding while hyping every NH and SS moment. My response is always, "What makes that scene a pairing moment?" And then point out how it applies to the scene that they are trying to brush off. Like the one of Hinata blushing and telling Naruto that it's good to work with him, and then he smiles back at her and says, "Yeah". The blushing from Hinata indicates romantic feelings on her part, so it's a pairing moment. So then that feeding scene that everyone loves to say is just Sakura helping a hurt friend is also a pairing moment, because Naruto is likewise blushing and indicating romantic feelings from his side.
Obviously there are other things that make the feeding scene more of a legitimate pairing moment than the NH one (such as the cultural implications of a girl feeding a boy or Sakura's expression as she makes the offer), but the above is something that can't really be argued against unless they want to claim their NH moment is also not a moment.
I understand and yeah that would more or less prove a pairing scene, but going back to chapter 540 when Sakura thought of Sasuke, she neither blushed nor had any emotion progress supporting SS. In fact, if we go by the logic you gave us, it actually hurts SS regardless if you look at it face value or something deeper.
I just keep thinking after a while now is what evidence supports a pairing and what doesn't. I keep thinking about it and the more I do, the more I realize that while at first glance they support they actually hurt the pairing support.
You are also right that it seems that the other pairings, what ever logic they use, they only like to apply it to their pairing and not to the others.
"Sakura thinks of Sasuke, so she must be in love."
Also "Hinata thinks of Naruto, so she must be in love."
Well Naruto thinks of Sakura a lot and very few times of Hinata. He seems to always think of her separately too when ever he thinks of people and never in a group like the others. Sakura has also thought about Naruto a few times. "Well that's teammate concern." And how does this not apply to Sasuke? He was a teammate too.
"Hinata blushes around Naruto."
Yeah Sakura blushes around Naruto too.
Almost every argument they use they never apply to the others pairings and I am starting to say to people "Whatever argument you want to use, you have to apply to everything and look at everything." Just like you said
Here's the little problem with this theory: Do you want the main character (who's has his name as the title of the story) stay around being protected somewhere off where the battlefield while he's suppose to be the main hero? Do you want him as a wuss? Or that main hero status should be taken away from him to someone like Kakashi or better yet, Sasuke of all people, like many fans claiming that many arcs ago?
Main heroes never stand in one place and feel like that they need to be protected. They have to take risks in order to protect their loved ones.
It's not really a theory. More like what the situation is.
I am not saying anything about that. I am saying that both sides can;t agree on this middle ground that maybe they need Naruto to end the war, but also that Naruto needs to learn that he is not the only one who is fighting it. So instead of arguing what to do with Naruto and Bee. How about they all fight together and win indefinitely.
