In Topic: Why DO we like Narusaku?

QUOTE (Arsene @ Aug 21 2006, 02:38 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Let's just have a good discussion on why we support this pairing. Ya know, just posting our reasons why we like NaruSaku:

My Reasons


The greatest thing about Naruto and Sakura is that they have the ability to be romantic even without being overly sappy and amorous. It’s perfect for a shounen manga like this. Even after the proposals are done and they’re already a couple, they’d still have something to offer the people: comedy/entertainment. It’d be great because I read somewhere that Kishi said he was going to continue to the children.

They also think alike, as shown in Naruto’s fight against Kiba, in Chapter 3, during those times when Kakashi was late, and a lot of chapters after the time-skip. I can see them as the greatest teammates. When there’s a brainstorming time, all they need to do is look at each other and nod, and let the plan commence, because they are perfectly synchronized.

Of course, it doesn’t have to be like that all the time. There will be times when Naruto goes way ahead of himself, and Sakura would care to disagree and give him a good smack if ever he becomes a persistent brat, because Sakura doesn’t worship Naruto like Hinata does. When Naruto does wrong, she can give him a good lecture and/or calm him down.

These two have a lot of similarities, as well as enough opposites to keep a relationship going. Sure, Naruto is a dumbass and Sakura is second to Shikamaru in intelligence, but they’re both wonderfully energetic and they can live the moment as happily as can be. Their personalities are perfectly balanced, and their characteristics needn’t be changed if ever they get in a relationship.

They motivate each other, learn from each other, and grow stronger with one another, as demonstrated when Sakura felt that she needed to do her best whenever she sees Naruto fight, and when Sakura calms Naruto down whenever he gets way ahead of himself. Sakura can find strength and determination in Naruto, and at the same time, Naruto can find wisdom and maturity from Sakura. They complement each other very well, and with each other, they can be very strong. They are so perfect together that even if they don’t end up as a couple, they would still have one of the closest relationships in the entire manga (Naruto and Sasuke excluded).

Anything else you guys would like to add?

This may seem a little late but...

OMFG! Your reason? This little essay was made by my sister! She even posted it in the NS vs SS forum. Who are you?? headscratch.gif

She says this is alright, but please mention her at least.

An anti-NaruHina rant by me...sort of.


First of all, in canon (sort of some really short version of Mizura's extremely long essay):

To me, it’s all but a question of SasuSaku versus NaruSaku. I have disregarded NaruHina ever since Part 2. Firstly, they’ve barely interacted for more than thirty minutes of their lifetime. Yes, I’m sure of that. When Hinata was first introduced, Naruto called her a “dark-haired weirdo who always seemed to be looking at [him].” So they’ve probably never talked. They did talk once before Naruto fought Neji. That’s it. After that, there was a series of arcs. Before Naruto left, they didn’t talk either. Hinata fainted before she could talk to him. Even in post-time skip, there was nothing except for Hinata fainting again. So no, Naruto will not “realize that he’s been in love with Hinata all along”. There's nothing happening in there.

People think that Hinata has this big impact on Naruto’s life just because she was one of the first to acknowledge him. I for one believe that she didn’t give Naruto “true” acknowledgement, but rather, she admired him because she was able to relate to his being an underdog. This is why she never helped Naruto when he was down. She wanted to be like him: someone who can get back up on his own. Hinata wasn’t Naruto’s first “true” acknowledgement. Team 7 was. They were the first ones who openly acknowledged his existence. And that’s what truly mattered to him.

Hinata and Naruto don’t share the same pain either. Those two were both insulted for being losers, yes. It enrages Naruto – he works for recognition, too. But it wasn’t his most deepest, darkest pain before. Loneliness is his true pain. The pain of having nothing. He showed it to Gaara as he was crawling towards him on his freaking chin in order to protect the people who saved him from the pain of loneliness (Iruka and Team 7).

The only two pains Hinata used to share with Naruto back then are gone now. The pain of being a loser and the pain of not being acknowledged. Is Naruto still a loser? Well, to Sasuke, maybe, but to everyone else? Nah. Does Naruto still need to be acknowledged? Hell no. He even felt sorry for Gaara because he had so many people who cared about him while Gaara didn’t.

Naruto’s new pains are the pain of losing Sasuke and the pain of being a Jinchuuriki. Hinata has never even mentioned anything about Sasuke and even less about the Kyuubi. Basically, Hinata lost her relevance to Naruto’s life. Everything she “could be” for Naruto, Sakura already is. She is just like Inari, Zabuza, Neji, Gaara, and Tsunade: people who were redeemed but aren’t main characters.

Wait a minute, so what was the point of her crush on Naruto? Just like Neji and Gaara’s admiration to Naruto. Just like Inari and Zabuza and just about everyone else that gets redeemed. Her admiration to Naruto (vowing to do her best, too) has caused her to fight against Neji and to believe in herself. Her theme was to show the readers that if you believe in yourself, you can be strong and become a whole new person. She has her own life and her own background story. Getting Naruto’s heart isn’t even one of her goals. She wants to get acknowledgement from the Hyuugas. She has been redeemed because of her admiration on Naruto; therefore, her crush isn’t really pointless even if she doesn’t end up with Naruto.

About their relationship (this one is all original and by me):

No, their relationship doesn’t make me want to have them end up together, either. Where’s the fun in there? It’s so calm. It’s so comfortable. The only thing that the people are looking for is the blushing and the amorousness. Nope, sorry, not interested. Go watch a shoujo anime or something. You’ll get what you want. Of course, you can like it for the sweetness, but shounen mangas don’t usually center on sweetness and romance. That’s why most of the shounen couples are paired up for comic relief and such. So if Kishimoto wants the series to continue to the children, he has to at least be able to make the couples either “entertaining” or “cool”.

A relationship with Naruto and Hinata would be extremely boring in my opinion. Naruto would be held back from his energetic attitude and everything’s really all going to end up as fluff with these two. In order to get them to “click”, Hinata has to be more like Sakura.

On the opposites attract thing/the Yin & Yang thing, too many differences cause instability. And what I can say is, Naruto and Hinata do have too many differences to really have a long-term relationship. Naruto is loud, brash, and energetic. Hinata is quiet, timid, and shy. Naruto needs someone who can keep up with his fiery attitude or else he’ll feel the need to look for it. Sorry, but Hinata just doesn’t fit his style and would hold him back too much unless she starts acting more like.. well... Sakura.

I bring another SasuSaku argument..

WHY SASUSAKU?
1)They're total opposites, and I believe two opposites make a right.

2)Sakura determination and love for Sasuke never dissolves, and I believe never will.....

3)Sakura's love is what Sasuke needs (with his whole family being wiped out, and being a loner for quite a long time)

4)Sasuke could've beaten Sakura to a plump when she tried to stop him from leaving. But instead he said "Thank you."

5)When Sasuke's curse seal opens up, Sakura always pops up in his mind, and her tears are his inspiration or lift to hold the curse seal back and get back to normal.

6) Sakura already claimed and confessed how much she loved him by saying "I love you more than anything! I would do anything for you!" And not in the crushing way, the more sad and emotional way.

7)Sasuke said that one of his goals was to revive his clan, can't revive it with no Uchiha babies, can you? *coughSakuracough*

8)In the manga, whenever Sakura said anything or smilies at Naruto a certain way, Sasuke has the "jealous" expression/face.

9)Already quoted from anime and manga, Sasuke admits that he would not let anything get to and will not lose his important friends. And he was risking his life to protect them (but then Naruto jumped in)

10)Sasuke was on the brink to choosing his friends over revenge, I think he was shown the light to how important they've become to him

11)Sakura is trying to her best to improve so she can bring Sasuke back this time

The "leg" that the SasuSakus are standing on isn't what Sasuke thinks of Sakura. Sakura not giving up on her feelings for Sasuke is where they all have their hopes pinned. Bring down Sakura's feelings for Sasuke and that's when I consider SasuSaku dead.
