In Topic: When Did It Start?
19 March 2008 - 09:36 PM
I started out a SasuSaku/NaruHina fan. It was a combination of factors that made me change my mind.
First off, I was a dub watcher, so while every one else was off reading shippuuden manga and trying to get through fillers, I was watching the Naruto vs. Gaara arc. (At least, I think that's what they were doing...shippuuden wasn't an anime yet, right?) I watched those episodes over and over, because I had little else to do. Finally it struck me, "Hey! He must really care for her to go through all of that!". I almost wavered, but then the SasuSaku/NaruHina part of my brain shut the line of thinking down.
Not too long after, I found Ciardha's "Rain or Shine", Chapter Three, the wedding chapter, while looking for a new SasuSaku fic. And I found myself liking it after I finished, and NaruSaku setiments started kind of growing in the back of my mind.
Later that same week, I was on my cell phone, looking for pics of Sakura, when I accidently clicked (or what ever) on this link. It was a manga picture of her crying, and it lead me to a forum of.... SAKURA BASHERS!!!
Anwho, they were all "This picture reminds me of why I hate Sakura- she cries all the time, and she has no right to, she's a b****, ECT". That got me angry, but then I found somebody defending her. Nevermind it was a NaruSaku shipper, they weren't bashing her, so I decided to pay attention to what they were saying. And they not only defended Sakura, but her relationship with Naruto as well, opening me up to a completely new perspective.
A naruhina shipper posted next, saying her really didn't care for it at all, but he did give a link to Mizura's NaruSaku Manifesto. I read it and, decided, "You know what. I like NaruSaku now. Deal with it."
I told my friends as much as well.
