*AU* Sorry this is all mixed up. Try to keep up, it kinda makes sense. Hope I`m not bashing *AU*
So I`ve been thinking. What the hell Hyugas?
Are they really neccesary at all? I mean Kishi decided to write in an elite and omnipotent clan of dojutsu users that are so traditional they basicly make slaves out of their own clan members.
So I`ve been thinking why this was neccesary. And the best reason I could come up with is the big Neji fight in part 1. The last volume or so before the Neji fight the Hyugas were so overhyped that it was almost silly. And the whole branch family thing, what`s up with that? How do you protect the "main branch" by having a side branch and enslaving them. Wouldn`t it be a lot easier if they just trained a Hyuuga elite guard or something?
Then the Neji fight happens and the Hyuugas vanish. They were not touched apon for nearly 600 chapters. And honestly I just want to know where on earth these elite badass mofos of Konoha were during the pain invasion. The alkimichi were fighting, Inoichi and Ino were working their asses of at the intel devision and all the "lesser" clans of Konoha did something. So where were they. The two Hyuugas that did get shown on panel were either chilling and providing Sakura with up to date news on the fight or basicly commiting suicide. It`s bonkers. And for that matter why hasn`t there been a Hyuuga hokage?
In my opinion there would be absolutely no harm or influence on the story if the Hyuugas were just a run-of-the-mill clan. Instead of some "elitists" Between us I think the Uchihas and Senju were the true top dogs and when they got terminated or vanished the Hyuugas just kind of started to spread the rumor of their unstopable awesomness.
Next up is Hinata.
Is her love for Naruto really neccesary? If you were to nutshell her character she is the Heiress of the Konoha elitists who has a crush on Naruto is shy and has no relevant connection to his life. I would understand if Naruto actually did something about her crush, but he doesn`t. She`s just kind of there. Not there for him, just there.
Foolish and I once debatet that if Ino would have been the one with the crush on Naruto than the whole romance complex would be more connected with the SasuNaru rivarly being paraled to the SakuIno it would all make for a more connected love square. If we look at it graphicly we have the SNS love triangle and Hinata is kinda pushing and yelling let me in. Because she has no connection with Sakura, or Sasuke and the one-sided link to Naruto hardly counts so why?
So my question is... Why are the Hyuugas so overhyped and overcomplex?
