Come on Kishi. I for one care more about Hinata than Sakura. I mean I loved seeing Sai guilt trip her for making Naruto feel bad. That was great. But come on Hinata sacrifices her own life to save him and finally tells him she loves him and what does she get...nothing.
Yeah...Sai went up 100 points in my book for FINALLY stating the obvious to Sakura. I'm still hoping Naruto gets a few panels with Hinata, even if most of it is just awkward "ums" and "uhs". I know they have a lot of story to get to in a just a few pages, but mentioning it once again would be appreciated.
*SPOILER ALERT FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T SEEN THE FILLER EPISODES*
I was actually hopeful for this pairing during the anime filler arc episodes when Naruto accidently stumbled upon Hinata's training exercise in the nuddy, and later when he realised how cool her new jutsu was.
It's obvious that he does like her as an individual and respects her growth as a ninja even if he does tend to take her granted sometimes. Plus all their friends are aware/ sympathetic about her feelings.
I hope the whole love triangle gets resolved quickly!
Maybe he has forgotten Hinata’s confession. After all, he does not have any memories of his actions in kyuubi-mode, so it is possible he has forgotten what triggered it as well.
Also, Naruto has a lot on his mind right now: Pain destroyed the village, he met Yondaime, Tsunade is in coma, Danzo has taken over and Sasuke still needs to be rescued from himself so… We can’t really blame Naruto right now. I think the love-thing will be settled in the end because love isn’t the most important thing in Shonen-manga. Kishi also tends to keep us waiting. I think he likes to torture us that way:)
What's up with Shikamaru and the girl from the Sand village, Gaara's sister? Oh, I've only just now finally caught up, about to be watching ep 126 soon.
It was made abundantly clear that Shikamaru has feelings for gaaras sister...Even tho he doesnt show it...also...Hinatas sooo adoreable....also...im not reading the manga so for all you manga readers...beware..i watch the anime first THEN teh manga xD
Hinata should have died in that sacrifice.. It's a weak cop out for kishi to have everyone ressurected like that.
I thought her sacrifice was really moving when it happened, but now when I think about how it was handled, it just pisses me off. Not only because of everyone just forgetting it ever happened, but it makes it seem like nothing but a stupid manipulation to get a climax out of Naruto. Kishimoto ripping off Toriyama yet again (krylin dying so that goku could turn super saiyen)
To be honest, a lot of the writing in this shippudden saga hasn't been thought through very well.
Yeah. If she confessed than died-would have been a beautiful, moving episode.
But she survived. (nor resurrected but healed by Sakura&friends. Never died actually..)Ok, so as there was the confession, there was the time for some romance developement. Or at least, Naruto saying "Hinata, thanks for trying to save me, nut I'm sorry, I don't love you." But nothing happened.
She really could have died, it was the right place and time - but not. So it looks like Kishi has plans with her. Or not? as he shows now nothing...
I mean, seeing the latest manga chapter with Naruto rushing into rescue Sakura bridal style because she rushed in stupidity trying (and failing miserably) to kill Sasuke.
I'm not even a hater but it just proves that she's daft by putting up with all of Sasuke's traitorous ways. How can anyone be in that much denial?!
getting back on topic though lol. I agree there's a lot going on in Konoha right now and kishi doesn't have time to acknowledge side story lines but seriously? He has time for multiple panel stupidly but NOT EVEN ONE LINE acknowledging her sacrifice?! it feels like it's been a long time since her confession and not even a line of acknowledgment?!
....so stupid.
An onion can make people cry, but there is no vegetable invented to make them laugh.
I do too, and even though I like Sakura, I can't help but feel for Hinata.
It's not fair that we didn't see much of her since her confession to Naruto (in Chapter 437). Espesially since it was HINATA who saved Naruto's nine-tailed @$$ from being shishkabobbed by Pain!
"My Samehada, it doesn't slice...It SHAVES!!!" -Kisame (Naruto)
no it was the KYUUBI who saved his ass. again. hinata got in his way selfishly, like she had some death wish.
" I can easily sympathize with Hinata ALOT better (she's had a worse childhood than Sakura anyway ^^)!" considering EVERYONE except sakura, ino and a few others had the same old sob story childhood, i can like sakura more easily since shes just a normal ninja in a situation thats in over her head.
Cause Naruto is a little lightheaded to put it easy. Hinata is a pussy that won't show any initiative, if a guy isn't asking u out, go there and ask him, if a guy comes at u like its the easiest thing in the world, u know hes *beep* with 30 girls before u, as for girls who climb on guys, please bitches, *beep* off.
Lol hinata All she does is confess to naruto, nearly get killed, put the leaf in greater danger and gets applauded
Sakura actually cares for everybody(and proved this too) and actually strives to better herself and gets bashed for hitting naruto for acting like an idiot. Sakura has never been useless, people just think that because you can't blow up a mountain it means your useless. Naruto hasn't won 1 battle by himself, yet no one complains Hinata hasn't even won one fight in the manga, despite being in a higher branch of the hyuuga than neji.
Not bashing hinata or her fans, just my 2 cents
"A genius that had everything will never understand.I just want to become myself."-Kabuto Yakushi
^ You know, in retrospect, you're actually right in some ways. Hinata didn't really become more powerful until after Pain's invasion, while Sakura improved more (as a ninja and a character) since the beginning of Part II.
Now, my only problem with Hinata as a character, is her dependance on Naruto. I don't mind her having romantic feelings for him, but 99% of her decisions are based SOLELY on Naruto, and I find that a little annoying.

Also, thats life. If Naruto doesn't like Hinata like that then she can sacrifice herself a hundred times and it wont change anything. She needs to get over it. lol
