For starters, I am from the U.S (Philadelphia, to be exact). I do ship NaruSaku. I feel almost next to nothing about Hinata, other then the fact that gentle fist is pretty damn cool. I dislike Sasuke, and the Uchiha, mostly because of the ridiculous sharingan. (I remember Itachi saying that the Mangekyou Sharingan has no counter. Even another Mangekyou Sharingan only slightly increases defense, but not especially a hard counter.)

Okay, so I got into Naruto a little after it started airing on CTN. I watched the pilot episode, and didn't like it at first. Then, later someone had mentioned it and I caught the episode where he fights Zabuza for the first time. What got me hooked was actually the cleverness of the fight. So I guess by that time the anime was just beginning the Sasuke Retrieval Arc. I was so hooked, I caught up in a matter of days.

Having to wait every week for new episodes to air was absolutely tortuous after having so many to begin. Remembering Part I, I suppose I wasn't dead set on the fact that Sakura and Naruto belonged together. I remember relating to Naruto as a main character, and I genuinely wished for him to achieve his goals. One of them being getting Sakura to like him back.

I never really liked Part I Sakura, but I realized she would eventually mature into a great character. Which she did. Her fight against Sasori is definitely one of my favorites. I hope she does get a power-up out of this arc.

I currently play Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 for the PS3. My handle is AngelAlkaiser on there.

So yeah, hello everyone!

Edit: Oh yeah, thought I'd mention how I found this place. Basically I got bored so I decided to re-read every manga chapters, and watch every episode all over again. When I got to the point of the confession, I became curious as to what other people thought of it. Namely if it spelled the end of NaruSaku or not. I found a great post on this site, with some of the vets expressing some really well thought opinions. I was blown away by what I read. (Up until now, I did not know shipping wars even existed). So I lurked awhile, and finally decided to join.

Other favorite animes include: Saint Seiya, Full Metal Panic!, Inuyasha, X, Samurai X, Ninja Scroll, Dragon Ball(Z), Sailor Moon, and Bananas in Pajamas... Bananas in Pajamas isn't an anime but it came on after Sailor Moon and I really dug the theme song. The end.

Hi! Nice to meet you, xerorains!

Sounds a lot like how I used to be, but I really like both Hinata and Sasuke now. I was originally irritated by her dull, rather static character, but I eventually came to enjoy the rare spouts of development that she has and thus cheer her on... in gaining confidence, that is, not having her love requited. I don't have much of a problem with NaruHina, but I still find myself wishing she'd give up and focus more on people who actually give her the time of day, like her team.

Sasuke... I didn't like at first either, because despite his dark background, I really couldn't get over his condescending attitude. As the story moved forward, however, I began to try harder to understand his feelings, and found myself fascinated by the depth of his character; in fact, I find myself empathizing with the members of the Uchiha clan in general, haha.

Ah, I see that for the most part, we have the same views on Part I, with the exception of our thoughts on Sakura. I've loved her a lot since the beginning, always wishing for her happiness.

...I'm dying of jealousy. I still need to get UNS3.

But anyhow, welcome to H&E! I probably should've said that earlier.

Yeah, I don't post all that much, but it might be a little rude to continue to post without actually introducing myself.
