@hello panda
omg, you cannot compare Rin to Hinata xD
but i'm waiting for an edit / meme to come out about Hinata and Rin's "I'm always watching you" it will be so much fun to have my trick or treating with a taste of my fave manga.. i wonder if there is one already.. hohoho
Regardless, it's interesting to see Rin be so supportive of Obito and his dream. It reminds me of Part 1 Sakura who, even though at the time, didn't love Naruto was still supportive of his dream. Who knows, maybe ObiRin could have happened if events didn't play out like they did. It is not certain, but anything is possible. I think this is why ObiRin feels like a NS parallel.
-Rin supported Obito's dream like Sakura supported Naruto's
-Rin cared about Obito even if she picked on him like Sakura did to Naruto.
-Rin was a medic-ninja like Sakura was
-Rin loved a guy who didn't love her like Sakura and Sasuke (Though Kakashi never purposely tried to kill Rin.)
Sure, we had Hinata "support" Naruto too, but I never really believed she supported his dream. She just supported his never-give-up nindo and wanted to stay by Naruto's side for her own sake. Sakura on the other hand wanted to see Naruto succeed and supported not only his dream, but his efforts. Hand-holding...I am not even going to bring this one up because I could argue Naruto just held Hinata's hand to distribute chakra.
bingo!
It does give me that vibe.
Although i did say i want to play it safe..
but i still think that the parallel thing over team 7 and Minato's team is established already since the Gaiden.. people who just doubt Naruto' feelings are most likely to believe otherwise.
If some people would really like to get some parallel shizz and pairing whatnots out of this chapter well here's as far as it goes:
Naruto says NO to SHORTCUTS, to an easy way out, to what's that word again?
instead he'll go on the dangerous path for who says its dangerous?, be a hokage that makes a path out of a dead end for everyone.
Since like most of the people here, this chapter also reminds me of old chapters from the manga
I'm not going to repeat what others have been saying but just to add on it..
Just who is a shortcut? and just who is the unsure "dangerous" path?
who says its impossible?
Who was it again who supported Naruto to become Hokage since before they have seen his real potential?
the one who reprimands him but still continuously support him..? the one who actually DID something to help him (or more like "does" bec. she still is helping him)
Let's go back to the very start...
is it the one who is about to raise her hand to not see Naruto's dream get crushed, even if it means to fail an exam...including the boy she actually likes
or someone who will easily give it to him and make him cheat?? and have it the easy way

Yes people.."I'm always watching you"
