      It certainly would've taught readers, especially women that looked to her character as an example, to VALUE yourself over how you feel about someone who abused you. She would've had my respect for sure. Sometimes it is still hard to leave or reject someone even if they've hurt you physically and mentally after loving them for a long time.

    What about the fact that Hinata confessed her love in the Pain fight. Naruto straight up NEVER acknowledges this confession. The Last was an after thought to explain the how they inextricably ended up together. It didn't make up for the absolute lack of romantic interest in Hinata for the entirety of both shows. In my opinion.

      Actually, it's also rather common to marry your "Highschool sweetheart". Remember that Naruto isn't completely the modern world, so it's not like people went to the club or had Tinder or other modern means to find a partner, and in the past, people married people in their "group" so to say. That's even how clans were made, as clans aren't just "extended family". For example, Itachi's Girlfriend was an Uchiha girl.

      To be fair, the Naruto world has been separated into nations and villages since back in Hashirama's day. MOST people in the Leaf got married to another Leaf villager, as most people don't/can't move out of the village. So Naruto's classmates getting married to someone they know makes sense. The only exception being Shikamaru and Temari, and only because the Leaf and Sand are allies.

      That being said, if we have to get serious, I really don’t like is that most of these have no development whatsoever, and in the case of SasuSaku ESPECIALLY it’s hard to believe in them for so many reasons. Wbk ShikaTema would be together and SaiIno doesn’t really surprise me (even if back in my day the default ship for Ino in the fandom was KibaIno… for some reason ?) but SasuSaku are just the most toxic and dysfunctional pair Kishi could’ve ever gone for and I don’t think I need to say why.

    I was sad when Neji died because I shipped him and Tenten. They shared a mutual personality and had good chemistry/understanding. I feel like Tenten was Neji's right hand. He always showed more concern over Tenten when in battle. Tenten also seemed to think highly of Neji and visit him during the Chunin exams when he got injured. They both trained together as kids. Neji protected Tenten as a priority over anything else, such as the Chunin exam as young adults where Neji protected Tenten from knives being thrown at her with his comment on him having priorities after Tenten commented whether he was going to stop the fight. He also made sure Tenten was ok when the trio were locked by the prison jutsu by Kisame. Lee didn't show any romance/chemistry with Tenten despite being on the same team unlike Neji who grabbed her when she fell out of the water prison and asked if she was ok. Tenten on the otherhand was saddened when Neji and angry he left her. Her dream also had her friends in a way she wished all of them to be a little more of. She appears to have wanted Neji to be more open with his feelings. During the wedding, she fantasized about marriage while being single when we know she would have ended up with Neji.

    There’s also Matsuri. She’s Gaara’s first student and the one who helped him expand his friends outside of Naruto and his siblings. She was introduced in the very last filler arc, but has since been seen in the Gaara Retrieval Arc. She’s the first person outside of Naruto who fully accepted Gaara as his own person and it would have been amazing for them to be together.

    Shikamaru and temari is such a classic anime relationship. They’re the best couple in the series. It’s such an original and unique pairing because they’re so different. Kishimoto can’t write about love and romance very well but with this couple, he succeeded. Temari was built up as a tough older sister to gaara, who terrified shikamaru at first. She was an iconic kunoichi with a big fan that was paired to fight shikamaru, who is bland and lazy. His brilliance impresses her time and time again. Then after they failed to bring back sasuke, temari sees shikamaru’s vulnerability. He fails his first chunin mission and his best friend was near death. It was in that dire moment that it was obvious they would end up together. They remind me of miroku and sango, the best pairing in inu yasha. Or they also remind me of android 18 and krillin. Some anime couples just stand out because they’re so unique. It gives a sense of realism to the series.

    I think a way more plausible relationship partner for gaara would be matsuri.
    1. She was the only student who decided to train under gaara since everyone was way too scared of him
    2. Both of them did everything to protect each other (Matsuri was kidnapped, Gaara went immediatly after her)
    3. in the Chunin exam 2 (the sand one) Matsuri ignored her orders from gaara to run away, instead she went for help to save him
    3. She was also with Temari when Gaara was kidnapped
    4. She was the one stepping forward when Gaara was revived and she was clearly happy to see him alive
    5. although she wasn't tecnically a great long distant expert she was under gaaras leadership in the shinobi war
    It would have been interesting (if Matsuri survived the war) to see how maybe Matsuri comforted him after the forced marriage would have been cancelled and when Gaara realized how much Matsuri actually cared about him. Not like a simp (like many other girls) but as a real love interest.

    I’ve always thought that if Sakura and Ino weren’t the end game, then it was Sakura and Rock Lee. Sakura‘s whole story arc is about her growth in strength. Not just physically, but also her courage, and belief in herself. The two key players in this as both examples, and encouragement were Ino and Lee. Both of them see, and respect this in Sakura; whereas with Sasuke it kind of just goes over his head.

      It was not about Naruto needing Sakura to tell him that he was not in love with her.
      There is no confusion in his heart, the narrative is not showing a "who do I love" conflict.
      It's about Sakura helping him understand that what he felt for Hinata was the real deal when it comes to loving a woman and that there was no reason for him to feel rejected because Hinata's feelings for him were not possible to had changed because Hinata is truly in love with him.
      That is what gave Naruto the push to get back on track. The reassurance that Hinata loved him.
      Kishimoto wanted that particular scene more for clarification to the audience that Naruto was truly not romantically interested in Sakura, but his crush was based on an immature desire for acknowledgement in relation to his rivalry with Sasuke.
      Nobody can deny that Naruto in part 1 and 2 is an adorable, naive and immature boy who's described to not have a clue about a lot of stuff including a proper romantic relationship with a woman. That is the message the movie tried to convey.
      I know it's confusing and it was not written in a manner that resonated better to the audience, but it is there at the core of the narrative.

      Kishimoto was pandering to the NaruSaku crowd. That's what made me lose a load of respect for him as a mangaka. Having to pander to a large, niche minority of the fanbase demonstrated a lack of confidence in his story. Surely if he was confident, he wouldn't have needed to pander to the pairing fans. Maybe a editor noticed how many shipping fans the series had managed to pull in and whispered in Kishimoto's ear to spinkle little NaruSaku/NaruHina moments throughout the manga.
      Either way, it was really annoying seeing the occasional shipping tease knowing they weren't gonna amount to nothing but pointless wars throughout the years

    The fact that InoShikaCho grew up together, and Don't be fooled, they would do anything for one another, but Don't have nothing romantic about them is the best thing in the category that Kishimoto has done. And even in Boruto, Chocho talis about It, but Inojin and Shikadai are like brothers to her.

Neji and hinata both jump in fornt to save naruto, but Hiashi saves them from the death blows, neji is hurt, but its not lethally so and its put him out of battle. so naruto and hinata can still do the hand hold. Hiashi sacrificeing himself for the daughter he saw no hope in, the nephew who resented him (even if the was addressed in part 1) and the boy he saw as a disgrace. i think it would be very impactful to show how much the hyuuga has changed, where its not just duty due to being mainbranch or side branch , but a diffrent kind a of duty, because they are family. And protecting the "king" which is the next generation.I felt like it was very off brand to the story for neji to die like that.

The seal disappears suddenly and the Byakugan evolves and the very exhausted Neji is given a boost. Naruto doesn't know Hiashi that well but he sees that Hinata is distraught. Naruto and Hinata bond more after the battle is over as he comforts Hinata over the loss of her father, even if their relationship was troubled.
      In the aftermath, Hinata and Hanabi set up an election within the clan (really persuade the rest of the clan to choose Neji) so that he can be head like he wanted and they can both be free.

    It would have been so easy to write a compelling SasuSaku story. Kishimoto would only have to sprinkle one or two moments in shippuden where Sasuke avoids harming Sakura and boom, it would read as chemistry even though they don't have any (and obviously not do the stabing scenes, they were irrelevant).
    Instead we had to look for crumbs of development in the novels for their relationship to make sense, and this is AFTER they're already together as a couple. I know most of the time japanese couples form by confessing attraction and while dating they start to get to know each other and develop a romantic dynamic, but this is not the case for SasuSaku either, they go from trying to kill each other to being pregnant and then trying to be kind of cute to one another.

    Also gaara’s reputation and the fact that his sister and ino’s practically surrogate brother are seeing eachother could be means to get ino interested in getting to know gaara.

    One thing I always can’t help to think about when hearing about Shikadai. Is one fact about the Sand Village is it runs if a monarchy, not a democracy. Gaara isn’t Kazekage because he was voted for, he’s Kazekage because he’s the kid of the previous Kazekage, as was the Kazekage before that. It’s bloodline. And while Shinki is Gaara’s kid, he’s adopted. He’s not of Sand Royal Blood.
    But you know who IS valid for next in line for Kazekage? Shikadai! If a king does not produce a valid heir, a valid heir born of the king’s siblings would be the next, and as far as we know, Kankuro doesn’t have kids, so by Birthright, the prince of the Sand Village, next Kazekage if Gaara bites it without getting some, is Shikadai Nara!
    And that isn’t touched upon as much as it needs to be!

      @Bronze_Age_Sea_Person 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The thing is, even in real monarchies, if a woman married someone from another country, her children couldn't become king, because she entered the other family. For example, if the first princess of Portugal married the Prince-heir of France, or the Dauphin as he was called before, her child would become the king of France, not Portugal.
      Also, there's nothing implying the Fourth Kazegake to be the child of the Third Kazekage AFAIK. Given how other villages seem to work, like Mu choosing Ohnoki or Mei choosing Choujuro and Ay choosing Darui, it's implied the role of Kage is chosen. Also, Konoha showed that the Daimyou of the land makes the final choice, so maybe it's like that in other villages too.

    Naruto and Sakura's relationship had the most development throughout the series IMO and it is downright criminal that they did not end up together.
    The way that Naruto and Sakura ended up having their big embrace moment after the Pain fight while Hinata simply looked on with a smile very heavily implied that NaruSaku was endgame and that Hinata was accepting it.
    One "crack" ship that would have made sense in place of the ones we got would have actually been Hinata and Sasuke. I know it sounds insane but there are a few reasons why I think this ship would work:
    1) Hinata is the only eligible woman among our main cast that Sasuke has not insulted or directly harmed. These two have grown up in the same village, were in the same academy class and Sasuke visualized Hinata (alongside the other Konoha 12) when complaining about Itachi's death. Meaning they are, at least, acquainted with one another as former classmates. All that to say, their relationship would start off at a neutral point with no negative "he tried to kill her" or "he hated her before" baggage.
    2) Kishimoto once confirmed in an interview that if a Byakugan user and a Sharingan user have a kid, the child would get both dojutsu. This would be a much better and more natural way to introduce the development of a new dojutsu (Byakugan and Sharingan combined - Byakusharingan) than whatever is going on with Boruto.
    3) Hinata and Sasuke have a lot in common. Both come from noble ninja clans possessing rare eye jutsu that others try to steal. Both had strict, overbearing fathers who held them to standards far above average for their age (Hiashi was complaining about Hinata's fighting technique when she was only 3 years old while Sasuke's father was upset that he was struggling to learn the fireball jutsu despite Kakashi stating that such a technique was supposed to be too advanced for genin and Sasuke had not even graduated the Academy yet when his father had him training). Both had genius older sibling figures (Neji and Itachi) who were once antagonistic towards them but died on good terms and were at least partially responsible for training them. Both are generally quiet people who keep to themselves, albeit for different reasons (Hinata is shy, Sasuke doesn't care to talk to people).
    4) Although they have a lot in common, they are different enough to compliment one another. Hinata's kind and compassionate nature would balance out Sasuke's generally curt and indifferent personality. Similarly, Sasuke's confidence and pride would balance out Hinata's insecurities.
    5) SasuHina could have been integrated naturally into the story via The Last movie far more interestingly than NaruHina was. To give a sample set up, imagine this:
    Sasuke comes back from his atonement journey, Naruto and Sakura invite him out to eat with the other Konoha 12. As they hit the town, Naruto is swarmed by fans and given adoring cheers while Sasuke is constantly receiving dirty looks and sly comments. A complete reversal of how things were before Sasuke abandoned the village. Now he is the outcast while Naruto is the popular guy. At dinner, everyone is having fun hanging out while Sasuke sits to himself feeling like the 13th wheel. It's been seven years since he has really spent time with these people and everyone has changed. He almost feels like he's sitting with strangers and since everyone is used to him not being around, they hardly pay him in any mind. He tries to ask Naruto or Sakura about something he knew they liked when they were 12 only to be informed that they no longer like that item, further emphasizing how far he has drifted apart from them. Having enough attempts as socializing, Sasuke slips away from the table with no one really taking notice as they are too busy having a good time.
    Sasuke takes a walk on the town, getting more sly comments and dirty looks aimed towards him as a traitor to the leaf.
    An hour or so later, his walk eventually leads him to the old training grounds where he finds Hinata practicing her taijutsu. He interrupts and asks if he could spar with her, mentioning that he never did get an opportunity to fight against Neji in the chunin exams. They do a little sparring before Hinata eventually realizes the time and remarks that she needs to get home to do some clan duty stuff. Ideally, Neji's death would spark Hinata's ambition and she is going to be the next head of the Hyuga clan, planning to change how it runs for the sake of her dear cousin's memory. Sasuke offers to walk her home and they chat a bit.
    Ideally the main antagonist would be those Madara supporters (instead of Toneri) and the focus would shift to Naruto and Sakura finally getting together with Sasuke and Hinata becoming good friends. Thus making the time jump, when they are married more believable. Some plot points could include Hinata encouraging Sakura's feelings for Naruto as Hinata accepted after the Pain arc that she only wants Naruto to be happy - even if it is not with her. Sasuke and Naruto could talk about their role swap in the eyes of the village and we could really dive into Sasuke regretting ever leaving Konoha to begin with.
    The big mission to help save the village from Madara supporters could have Team 7 with Hinata added as a tracker since they're trying to hunt someone specifically down. Maybe the Madara supporters have been kidnapping ninja or civilians and they want to find his base or something. This would give the two couples bonding time etc.
    TL:DR, NaruSaku and SasuHina should have been endgame. Narratively, it would have been more interesting and would have given way to the next generation having unique attributes (byakusharingan) that are more naturally grafted into the story.

    Fucking thank yooooooou. I enjoyed the whole video but Sakura and Lee not ending up together always felt like a huge missed opportunity! The two compliment each other so well narratively and they had a mutual respect thing going for each other as the characters developed. I mean just think about it, you’re Sakura - you’ve grown as a person, you’ve got this (absolutely shredded) hardworking dude you know who you’ve worked with since you were kids who’s also grown as a person. He’s always treated you with respect and even though when he was an awkward pre-teen he was a little over the top with his declarations of affection, he never tried to like, FORCE you to like him. Something clicks when you realize that he’d never just leave you alone all the time like Sasuke - a person you’ve grown out of liking because like - that’s what people do as they grow up. You can make peace with Sasuke as a friend eventually, but there’s a much better option for romance - and it’s the shredded, kindhearted, taijutsu master with a choppy bowl cut and a great smile.

    Then Lee got put on a bench in favor of Guy (not entirely a bad thing) and Sakura never interacted with either of them in a meaningful way.

Letting it die out with him. Going either to Karin and Orochimaru. Karin refusing to be with him but willing to help out Sasuke. Maybe even with Orochimarus help. Creating a child that could be a friend to Himawari and like a little sibling to Mitsuki. Or he actually would have to find someone 'new'. I think that option could be fun if he actually would need to make amends with people like Sakura or Karin that he previously treated wrong to get advice, get help building that relationship as a side story to Boruto. Because I think that's a moral dilemma he hasn't had to deal with this way. Continue the line or let it die with him.

    Growing up, even surviving, let alone rising to her level under the reign of the 4th Mizukage is quite the feat.
    Plus, she's not only gorgeous, but a damn Kage, and can be quite intimidating in her demeanor too. How many normal dudes would have the guts to go for it?
    She hasn't had much luck in the Mist, so after the war she may think of looking in the neighbourhood - and the Leaf is the strongest, right?
    Mei and Shino could very well meet outside the village.
    Maybe Shino's insects would detect some attackers approaching and could display his skills, for which she'd praise him, maybe even praise his insects.
    Or maybe, in the fight (or with any excuse) he'd also have his glasses/coat ripped off or something so she'd see him better, from which point she'd surely go for it.
    Plus, I remember Shino had a tendency to be a bit insecure right? Well, Mei is great at recognizing and praising skill, just look at Chojuro.
    Plus, they both have a cool demeanor and can have an intimidating style of fighting.
    Not that they aren't fast and stuff when needed.
    Just look at Shino cooly standing while defeating his opponent with his insects, or Mei's slow and composed gestures when attacking Sasuke at the Kage Summit.
    They'd just work great together!

    The thing about the main canon Naruto couples was: I actually shipped NaruHina and SasuSaku when I started Naruto. When I was TWELVE yes, back then the anime was just up to Jiraiya’s death in Shippuuden!
    I feel that back then, the two ships actually made sense...but strangely enough, the “character development” was what pulled them apart.
    NaruHina - I feel like young Naruto liked strong, independent women (yes, like his mom) which was why he was so drawn to Sakura back then. Hinata was the shy, awkward girl, but what should’ve happened in this narrative is - she comes out of her shell and stand up for what she believes in. Which DID happen, during the Chunin exams vs Neji, then the Pain battle where she almost died defending Naruto. Naruto noticed her both times BUT Kishi failed to follow up with that, and Hinata’s character was back to square one. Then The Last Movie sealed my hatred for the couple when they retconned the childhood memories, made Hinata into a Mary sue princess, and ignored all the other Konoha 12 who should’ve shined in the final movie.
    For SasuSaku - I think young Sakura (and Ino) liked Sasuke in the academy because on the surface level, he was the cool, straight A student. Hence why she made the mistake of calling out Naruto for being an orphan, and made Sasuke pissed. I think her story should’ve been her learning to love and support the Sasuke who was flawed and confused from his trauma, which I think was well done when she helped him calm down in the Chunin exam when he got the cursed mark. But in the end when Sasuke left the village and later was branded a criminal, it was Sakura who wanted to “kill” him, instead to trying to understand or help him like Naruto did. Which is why the older me feels that her feelings hold no candle to Naruto’s feelings for Sasuke. As for Sasuke himself, I can see him having a normal relationship in the original Naruto, but he was so far gone with hatred and revenge in the later half of Shippuden that I think no romance entered his head at all, the only person he remotely cared about was Naruto. Nobody else had a chance, not even Karin who was the girl closest to him, whom he used like a tool.
    Anyway, I’m all past all that now, I find that I’d rather ship a gay couple that had chemistry in a show than whatever stale ship canon gives me. Hence why a decade later, I came to realize NaruSasu was the superior ship lmfao.

    My Ideal Pairings:
    - Naruto/Kurotsuchi (Always thought that the perception of Minato in Iwa would have been an interesting angle. Imagine a Kage romance in a sequel series to Shippuden, where Naruto reckons with the stubborn new Tsuchikage. Could’ve been more epic than NaruHina, which kinda felt forced to me tbh)
    - Gaara/Sakura (Sakura would be the ideal ambassador to Suna because she was Tsunade’s pupil and Kakashi’s student. She also saved Kankuro’s life and bonded with Chiyo. Gaara has the cool attitude that she loved in Sasuke but also the kindness that she craves. And Gaara has mad chemistry with people with hotheaded personalities like Naruto)
    - Shikamaru/Temari (The build-up proves that Kishimoto CAN write romance naturally, and yet decided not to do so for any other pairing in the show)
    - Neji/Tenten (Neji should not have died in such a shoehorned way. Either give us a meaningful death or none at all. Why did he have to die just because Kishimoto couldn’t involve Hinata in the plot before the end of the War Arc?! It’s ridiculously cheap. Him rising above his previous arrogance and falling for his arguably kinda weak teammate with no clan just feels right)
    - Lee/Ino (I always sorta liked this one. It’s not one of my favorites, but I like it better than Ino/Sai. The idea of Ino developing from a shallow girl who chases after a jerk like Sasuke to someone who appreciates loyalty and enthusiasm and kindness, even when it comes with green spandex and a bowl cut, just sounds good to me. And Rock Lee having a “straight man” to temper and ground him just sounds entertaining tbh. I also just kinda want Rock Lee to be happy; he deserves it)
    (Don’t really ship people like Sasuke, Choji, Shino, Kiba, Kankuro, Hinata, etc. I just don’t find that they really have the potential for ideal ships in the show)

      Or let’s talk about Sasuke/Sakura. Sakura loves him because…he’s a pretty, angsty boy. And he loves her because…she’s obsessed with him and is the only girl around willing to marry a terrorist. How romantic.

      That was my problem waaaaaay back in the day with YuGiOh! The female characters don't get a lot of character and relationship development, so when there is a moment that makes you want to ship people, it's with two dudes. The main two dudes. The female characters might as well be cardboard. And what didn't help Naruto and Sasuke was the fact that they kissed once. If this were any other show, they would end up together. It felt like Kishimoto did it as a joke and thrn once enough people took it seriously, he started to try and back pedal.
      And again, same thing with YuGiOh! The ships that are the strongest from that show are to do with the guys that get the screentime. You can make the girls as beautiful or kind or whatever, but that's one facet of a person. We see a million sides to our guy characters so it is easier to see a fully formed realtionship between the two of thrm then one of them with the big boobied kind-hearted lady.
      So I think at the end of it all, Kishimoto has no one yo blame but himself for the SasuNaru shippers. The plot devices and tropes he laid out were leading people there, then when he changed his mind he didn't put enough time into those other characters and relationships to make them as sensational as SasuNaru. But then again, fans are ravenous and will ship anyone with everyone, so what do I know. 😅
