NaruSaku - SasuSaku - NaruHina Debate Central

[Missy Sensei]

I vote NaruHina for the simple fact that I think they look extremely cute together. I know that this is a debate thread but I didn't come to point out facts and evidence from the manga or the anime to get my point across, I just simply think they are the cutest pairing I've seen (along with ShikaTema and NejiTen). I know it's kinda cliche for the loud, outspoken guy (Naruto) to fall in love with the quiet shy girl (Hinata) but it's the contrast in their personality I find interesting and in a lot of ways a balance. And while we're on the subject of cliches, the main guy character (Naruto) getting together with the main girl character (Sakura), the best friends within the entire story, is just as cliche, but it's also nice to be with someone who is similar to you in a lot of aspects. So either way it goes, the relationship is gunna be cliche so there's no point in arguing about that. Yes, there has been more evidence of NaruSaku happening than NaruHina, so I won't even try to argue that point; of course a lot of people are saying that there has been more NaruHina development recently but I wouldn't know for sure because I'm still not completely caught up with the manga, so right now I'm only going off of what I see in the anime. So yea I pray that in the end the odds are in Hinata's favor because I also feel as if she is the gentle soul that Naruto needs, plus I know that she will be able to give him that unconditional, unquestionable love he deserves. HOWEVER, just so some of you don't jump down my throat about it,I believe that Sakura can give him that lover/best friend kind of relationship.

SasuSaku... there's no chance what so ever. He tried to kill her, that doesn't necessarily scream "I LOVE YOU". And on top of that, Sasuke is gunna die soon anyway when Naruto finally kills him, so there's really no point in even discussing the slim to none possibilty of this pair.

So... yeah, GO NARUHINA!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PrinceofPeace]

Notice how Sakura's name is twice in the OP!!!!

She can not have both so she will go with Saskue who only has one choice

[Narutorious]

any one have any GOOD reason for NaruSaku... if not i will state my reasons for NaruHina

All the reasons you gave aren't really good reasons why they should be together, you really just gave reasons why you want Hinata to be with Naruto.

Hinata loved Naruto since the very beginning

Did he know that? He didn't, so it doesn't really matter. What about Naruto's feelings? From Naruto's point of view, Hinata was no different from the others. Naruto even admitted that Iruka & Hiruzen was the first to accept him, then it was team 7(which includes Sakura, not Hinata).

She is insipired by him and Never thought less of him

Something he didn't know either, plenty of people, including Sakura, had changed their view of Naruto & has been inspired by him.

Hinata yearned to be on Naruto's Team

This never actually happen in the manga, Hinata wasn't even shown until the Chuunin exam arc, even if he did, why would it matter? Naruto actually wanted Sakura to be on his team.

Out of ALL of the konoha ninja that faced another leaf ninja that was not on Naruto's team Hinata was the ONLY one Naruto cheered on to the best of his ability . Naruto barely knew her but she still cheered her on he did not do this for shino,tenten, nor choji e.t.c.

Forgetting the fact he was cheering Sakura & Sasuke too, he didn't cheer Hinata until after what Neji said, with Neji having the opposite beliefs he did.

Even though Naruto beat Hinata's teammate she still gave medicine to Naruto

Yes we know Hinata likes Naruto.

HInata also helped SAVE THE LEAF VILLAGE. Thats righ!!! If she did not give encouragement for Naruto to beat Neji Naruto would have LOST. If Naruto lost then he would be too damaged to help beat Garra. Hinata supported Naruto instead of her family.

You're just making stuff up, what would stop Naruto from tapping into Kurama's power? He beat Neji because he wanted to prove Neji wrong

and lets not forget Hinata risked her life against Pain. She knew full well that she would lose but risked her life anyway. THATS LOVE AND THAT IS MORE THAN ANYTHING SAKURA DID FOR HIM.

Sakura risk her life even more so, did you forget she almost got killed by 4-Tail Naruto, just to stop his rampage? Unlike Hinata, who Pain purposely not killed, Sakura would had actually been killed if it wasn't for Yamato. Not to mention, Hinata had the ability to see what was happening, & that's proven when Sakura asked what happen afterwards, so you can't say Sakura would not had done the same.

And even during the war Naruto meets Hinata and this time he gives her advice and confidence to keep up the great work.

Because she was down, he was boosting her confidence, it's not as if he went there to do that.

just look at Minatox Kushina.
Kushina was hot headed...like naruto
Minato was a quiet kid.... like hinata
ITS A MATCH

The only thing that similar between Hinata & Minato is that they both quiet, Minato was confident while Hinata was not. Kushina & Sakura both had traits they didn't like, Minato was the first man to compliment on her hair, Naruto was the first man to compliment on Sakura's forehead, & both of them have tempers.

Plus Kushina told baby Naruto DO NOT fall for the first girl you see... SAKURA

Where is this quote coming from? She said don't fall for a strange girl, find one like your mom, which is Sakura.

Sakura caused Naruto TOO much Physical and Emotional pain.
Sakura abuses Naruto by:
Riducling or Smacking him whenever he "displeases" her
Made Naruto carry the burden of bringing Saskue back
ALWAYS depends on Naruto to do stuff

And how long does the pain of that "physical abuse" last? Not long right? It's goes away instinctly because it's meant for comical purposes only, it's a common trait between main characters & tsunderes in shonen manga, those type usually become couples. The emotional pain is more Naruto's fault, Sakura was willing to help him bring Sasuke back, he tries to do everything on his own, even Itachi told him he should rely on others too, not to mention the POAL isn't Naruto's main reason on going after Sasuke.

Sakura knew Naruto was fighting Pain and she did nothing. WHILE Hinata ditched her bodyguard. Some say Sakura was healing people BUT SHE WAS NOT she was just haning around.

Hinata has the Byakugan, she could actually see what's happening, go read the chapter after Hinata's confession, that's proof that Sakura had no idea what was happening until after the random Hyuga told her, which was after Naruto started to used Kurama's chakra.

PLUS Naruto said himself he will not go out with Sakura if he can not bring Saskue back to the village

Is Sasuke back yet? This actually works against you, the reason why Naruto wants to wait until after he brings back Sasuke is because he wants a honest answer from Sakura, if Sakura accepted at that time, one can argued that he's just backup, & he said he won't tell Sakura how he feels until Sasuke is back.

Sakura still LOVES Saskue SHE COULD NOT EVEN KILL SASKUE Even when Saskue tried to kill Sakura.

Would she been able to kill Sasuke even if she wasn't in love with him? She had the thought in the first place to take the burden off Naruto, Naruto on the other hand, wouldn't even have the thought of killing Sasuke.

NOT ONLY did Hinata say She loved him first Sakura knew she did and she STILL told Naruto she loved him... Not only is that against gurl code but Sakura did not even mean it when she said "I love you" Even Naruto knew it was not true.

You still forgetting about Naruto's feelings, even if this "girl code" was the case, it takes 2 to make a relationship happen. If you want to get concrete about it, Naruto knew she was lying when she said she didn't care about Sasuke anymore, not neccessarily her feeling for Naruto, as that wasn't what the discussion was about.

When Naruto's clones saved both Sakura and hinata He talked to both in a different tone

Naruto talking to Sakura: Are you hurt sakura?You do not seam hurt... Wow Naruto really cares

Naruto talking to Hinata: Sorry I am late Hinata
Wow Hinata you are soo strong
Everything is all right now
Naruto talked to Hinata longer and you can tell how much he likes and is worried about Hinata.

Leaving out the fact that Naruto was concerned about Sakura's health, not Shizune's, not the bodyguard's, just Sakura's. Also the fact that Hinata was just seconds away from death, and after that he was just boosting up Hinata's confidence.

(INSTANT CONNECTION) Hinata knew that he was the REAL Naruto and Naruto knew that Hinata was down in the dumps so he encouraged her. They both understood each other JUST FROM THEIR EYES... have Sakura and Naruto ever have that kind of spark?? NO

This is one of those things you just made up, if there was really an connection with their eyes, they would had been more dialogue about that fact, forgetting the fact there had been times Sakura was down with Naruto knowing & vice versa without the other saying it.

Sakura has not been very useful to Naruto.

But neither has Hinata in reality, the difference is Sakura doesn't need to be, even Yamato said it himself, it's not a problem of small or big, it's important of the strength of feelings you have for Naruto. It's balance, Sakura should be at Naruto's side, but she also needs to know when to stand back, such as Hinata should had stand back during the Pain battle because Kurama cause even more damage, Naruto was in no danger of being killed, Akatsuki needs him alive.

Truthfully Hinata needs Naruto & Sakura to get together because she needs to stop just being about Naruto, that's her story in this manga, it'll be a good development for her, not to mention Sakura being completely over Sasuke would be good development as well for her, if NaruHina & SasuSaku happens, Sakura & Hinata would be like they was since the beginning, Naruto would go for the backup , & Sasuke will be OOC.

[narumina]

N.S episode 71 or 70 Sakura runs out so heal Naruto, and he pushes her back but she doesn't want to leave until she heals him, then when he's hit, he asks her nicely to leave.Then she leaves obeying his request.

[PrinceofPeace]

Notice how all of the couples in Naruto are the opposite of each other
Naruto's parents
Sakura's parents
Shikamaru's parents

^ All of these couples are different

Naruto and Hinata are the most opposite
He is outgoing and loud while she is shy and quite

Naruto and Sakura are both loud and annoying and they want saskue back.... they really do not have any major similarities or differences

[narumina]

NaruSaku!"In the same way that Sakura tries so hard to win Sasuke over, I'm going to do my best to win Sakura over." -N.S 235 by Naruto + 235 N.S Naruto says "Before i realized it, i was in love with her." and Taken from shippuden movie 3 "He heals so fast, that's MY Naruto" N.S 175 Sakura say's "Your so reckless, you idiot!" because she cares for him! Then she hugs him "Thank you" She trys to face Sasuke alone to protect Naruto in episode 213 or 214. NaruSaku Forever!

[PrinceofPeace]

She tries.. AND FAILS to protect Saskue cuz she still loves him

What Naruto said was a while ago he has not shown loving feelings for her in a while

[Narutorious]

It doesn't mean it's still doesn't exist, you tend the ignore the fact that Naruto hasn't really been around Sakura since the Team 7 reunion, why would they waste time with this when there is a war going on? Naruto hasn't shown any feelings for Hinata at all so your argument is invalid.

[PrinceofPeace]

Naruto just saved Sakura from a zetsu yet he still did not show feelings for Sakura

Ever notice how the BEST couples in Naruto are opposite???

Here are some examples:
Shikamaru's parents
Sakura's Paretns
Naruto's parents

Opposites attact so NaruHina would be perfect
just like how ShikTema is perfect. Sakura and Saskue are opposite but they have a connection

Also rewatching how sakura would do ANYTHING not to see Saskue go is so INTENSE. Feelings like that do not just go away. Sakura does not like Naruto as much as Saskue. For some reason girls love him even when he tries to kill you

And look at the emo orphon of the rain
Sakur- Konan
saskue- Yahiko
Naruto- Nagato

Konan like Yahiko yet she had no interest in Nagato

Naruto's parents

If you notice with Naruto's & Shikamaru's parent, they both have a tsundere type woman, which would fit Sakura, you're ignoring the fact that Shika & Minato aren't shy & do not lack confidence, unlike Hinata.

Ignoring the fact that NaruSaku & NaruHina are potential couples, just like Jiraya & Tsunade/Obito & Rin were, which both have similar history with NaruSaku. The difference being that Jiraya never got the chance to date Tsunade, Tsunade was gonna open up too him if he came back alive, which he didn't, they failed, and have regrets now Obito never got the chance to tell Rin he loves her, Rin liked Kakashi from the beginning, but started to look at Obito in a different way after his death, they failed, and Obito became evil. The point is Naruto and Sakura are likely not meant to make the same mistakes.

Opposites attact so NaruHina would be perfect
just like how ShikTema is perfect. Sakura and Saskue are opposite but they have a connection

Shikamaru & Temari aren't a couple, Sasuke & Sakura have no connection at all, Sasuke has NO FEELINGS for Sakura.

Also rewatching how sakura would do ANYTHING not to see Saskue go is so INTENSE.

Which was over 3 years ago.

Feelings like that do not just go away.

You can said the same for Naruto in that case.

Sakura does not like Naruto as much as Saskue.

As of what we know now that's true.

For some reason girls love him even when he tries to kill you

That hasn't be confirmed as of now.

And look at the emo orphon of the rain
Sakur- Konan
saskue- Yahiko
Naruto- Nagato

Konan like Yahiko yet she had no interest in Nagato

I don't get this because Yahiko is supposed to be the Naruto of the group.

[Naruhina4always]

Naruto and Hinata will be together. You'd have to be stupid not to know that... Hinata has always loved Naruto but Naruto has always liked Sakura, but Sakura has always loved Sasuke. Naruto is starting to realize that Hinata is right for him, it will happen soon for them two.

You can said the same for Naruto in that case.

Sakura loves Sasuke, whilest Naruto only liked (hint the word like) Sakura.

Shikamaru & Temari aren't a couple, Sasuke & Sakura have no connection at all, Sasuke has NO FEELINGS for Sakura.

no connection at all you say?, other than the fact she loves him............. You can't prove that he doesn't? afterall him and Naruto had a fight basically to the death, which Sasuke was meant to kill him but didn't because Naruto was the closest person to him. in other words, even though Naruto was the closest person to Sasuke, he still tired to kill him but bottled it at the last minute...

But neither has Hinata in reality, the difference is Sakura doesn't need to be, even Yamato said it himself, it's not a problem of small or big, it's important of the strength of feelings you have for Naruto. It's balance, Sakura should be at Naruto's side, but she also needs to know when to stand back, such as Hinata should had stand back during the Pain battle because Kurama cause even more damage

Hinata has always been there for Naruto, like when even after Naruto defeated Hinata's teammates she still gave him medicine, or when she risked her own life against pain for Naruto's sake?
half your replies are invaild or unjustified, they mean nothing. In comparison it would be like me saying I would like a tuna and sweetcorn sanwich, the you giving me a freaken tuna sanwich... you are missing the evidence to back up your statements in half you comments (e.g.

That hasn't be confirmed as of now

or

Is Sasuke back yet? This actually works against you, the reason why Naruto wants to wait until after he brings back Sasuke is because he wants a honest answer from Sakura, if Sakura accepted at that time, one can argued that he's just backup, & he said he won't tell Sakura how he feels until Sasuke is back

these are unproven and therefore invaild...
This in somewhat also goes against you

Would she been able to kill Sasuke even if she wasn't in love with him? She had the thought in the first place to take the burden off Naruto, Naruto on the other hand, wouldn't even have the thought of killing Sasuke

They completely disagree with each other, Sakura wants to kill him as you stated, but Naruto "wouldn't even have the thought of killing Sasuke." This just proves that your giving unjusified anwsers.

In a court of law, the offendent is not guilty intill proven guilty. Which basically means in this case we'll need to wait intill theres actual prove of the two(Naruto & Sakura/Hinata) being together, or it would go to the jourey, which would make a dision upon the evidence presented, in this case the couple with the most likeihood of being together by far is Naruto and Hinata, especially if the evidence you're giving for Naruto and Sakura is invaild and also unjustified.

[xRomanceGirlx]

Okay. I know this isn't technically my debate and I'm intruding but I have to respond to these claims.

Says who? It is not stupid to think NaruHina won't become happen in the end. From my point of view, it's stupid to call it anything else but unlikely. NaruHina has a chance but it is still miniscule. Why? Naruto has shown zero romantic interest in any other girl besides Sakura. INCLUDING HINATA. The story tells us it is still unreciporcated romantically and this late in the series, it will probably stay this way and if it doesn't, NaruHina would be a random canon couple that Kishi just pulled out of his ass. Rushed Development= canon NaruHina.
Proof? Naruto's only shown platonic acknowledgement of Hinata, not romantic. I don't understand how you're getting this conclusion when the manga has shown us nothing of the sort. Friendship acknowlegement? Yes. Romantic acknowledgement? Sorry.

I completely loathe this argument. Naruto has done so many selfless things for Sakura, like the 'Promise of a Lifetime'. Naruto was pained by Sakura's love for Sasuke but because he wanted her happy, he ignored his personal feelings and focused solely on cheering her up.

Naruto had the same expression of internal heartbreak when he saw Sakura hug Sasuke in the hosptial and he selflessly left the room so they could be alone and much later when he's older, when Sakura was crying after Karuei asked her what Sasuke was to her after she found out he was in the Akatsuki. Naruto was watching her with misery in his face, both from seeing her cry and being reminded that she loved Sasuke. Both those occassions had almost identical expressions of pain.

Let me go back to Part One. On the cover page for the chapter (forget name ) when Naruto failed to bring back Sasuke the first time and Sakura showed up to see him. That page had quote on the top saying. " I stayed away from sadness and pain. I wanted to protect that smiling face. " It had Sakura on the front and because both her and Naruto were the main characters in it, it was likely Naruto's POV.

Hinata risked her life for Naruto but he did the exact same for Sakura remember? Against Gaara in Part One, Sakura was the person who motivated him to win against him because she was in danger and on the verge of dying. In the end he won but didn't pass out until Sasuke told him Sakura was alright. He kept saying " I will protect Sakura-chan! " and even later in Part 2, Yamato told him " If you want to protect Sakura, use your strength. " Protecting someone and openly saying you will means a lot in Japan and shows deep feelings.

Out of all the Big 3, Naruto's feelings for Sakura are the most well-developed, selfless, and deep. Face it: Naruto fell in love with Sakura. It stopped being a mere crush a long time ago. Want more proof? When lied about loving him in the confession, Naruto got angry and hurt ( " This joke isn't funny, Sakura-chan!"). Either Naruto's extremely sensitive or he truly loved her and hearing her lie like that actually hurt him a lot.

Sakura does have a connection to Sasuke. They were part of Team 7 and consequently, Sasuke did care for her. I can't prove Sasuke never loved Sakura ? Let's see ... in Part 2, when he first reunited with Sakura, all he said was " Sakura ... Where's Kakashi? " and then proceded to ignore her completely. If Sasuke truly had romantic feelings for her, he wouldn't have had ignored her so easily. And he never thought of Sakura alone, not like he does with Naruto. She's just bunched together with Team 7.

Right, Sasuke has tried to kill Naruto more than once. But the difference is, Sasuke had bonded much more closely with Naruto than he ever did with Sakura. He has a large affect on him and back in Part One, he couldn't kill him. But with Sakura, he would have killed her and without remorse. If he wasn't for Kakashi or Naruto, she'd be dead. More importantly, Sasuke wouldn't care.

Again, face the facts. Sasuke was never, ever, ever in love with Sakura and NEVER, EVER, EVER will be. SasuSaku is dead and in the ground.

Double standard. Naruto has always been there for Sakura too, cheering her up, protecting her, doting on her. And risking his life for her sake. Naruto is the HINATA to Sakura, except he is much more open about his love for her than Hinata is. Honestly, I give a much larger damn about Naruto's (the main character's feelings) and how he strives to be there for Sakura, not the love of a unimportant side character who we barely ever see anyways. I don't cheer her on, I cheer on Naruto as you're supposed to.

No it doesn't. There is no proof Naruto has feelings for her beyond friendship. You're claiming this but you're not supporting it with evidence. That's not a strong argument.

Sakura disagreed because she was being realistic and recognizing how much strain Naruto was putting on himself. She did it because she cared. They did completely disagree but real life couples are supposed to disagree with each other on occassion. This is actually the first real argument they've ever had, ever. Naruto wasn't considering it because he didn't want to believe it. He didn't want to admit Sasuke had changed and may have to be killed. He was still stuck in the past and being idealistic, like he usually is.

Sakura isn't like that and realized Sasuke would have to be killed, even though she still loved him. In actuality, she was actually being the mature one in that situation and Naruto wasn't. She knew Naruto wouldn't give up on Sasuke but she had to try anyway because she didn't want him to end up dying because of him. She said that point-blank and her biggest priority was not her love Sasuke but Naruto, his personal feelings and well-being as Sai said. So many people claim she would never fall in love with Naruto but the level of effort she did for his sake shows me she's on the way.

How is NaruHina more likely? Did Naruto ever blush at Hinata like Sakura did with Naruto? Did Naruto ever think about her feelings to the degree Sakura thinks about Naruto's feelings? Did Naruto ever hug Hinata like Sakura did with him? Was it ever implied he had more feelings for Hinata by spectators, like it was with Sakura ( " It doesn't matter whether the things you do for him are great or small. What matters is the strength of your feelings for him that count. I can tell, Sakura just by looking at you. The truth is you ..." --Yamato or " Sakura-san ... you're always so gentle with Naruto. I'm not sure how such feelings came about but there was this book ... " --Sai) Was it ever stated in a Databook Naruto's feelings for Hinata were changing, like it was with Sakura ( "What are Sakura's feelings for Naruto? She still hasn't found an answer. ")?

NaruSaku is the most likely to become canon in the end, especially after the 6th movie made by Kishimoto. So much evidence supports it while NaruHina is falling far behind in this aspect. Unless you can prove me wrong, this is completely canon fact to me.

[Sting8]

We don't know how Minato acted in the Academy days.
We just know that Kushina thought of him as a girly boy.
Kushina didn't say weird.

[PrinceofPeace]

@Narutorious

Naruto was worried about Hinata more than the other leaf ninja. Hinata knew he was naruto but the others just grilled him. What is your point?

Naruto has the personality of Kushina/Tsunade
so their needs to be a cool calm person like Hinata

Shikamaru and Minato are cool and calm... like Hinata
Kushina and Tsunade are loud and they speak their mind ... like Naruto

You can NOT have 2 Kushina's in a group.. THEY Would just bump heads

Tsunade only Implied she wanting to go out with Tsunade out of pitty. He was the second choice. If dan were still alive (just like if Saskue was still here) than She would go fro Dan

We do not know that RIn liked kakashi at the beggining.
So far the teams mirrior each other and their is no hint of what will happen.Naruto could go above and beyond and go with Hinata to stop the mirrioring which is what everyone sees. that the mirrior will be broken.
Also teammates do not ususally date in the series

Shikrmaru and Temari are the most alike couple. WHo knows what Saskue has feelings for at this point. Sakura does not have romantic feelings for Naruto

still more emotion than Naruto has shwon

As we have seen in Naruto's case they SERIOUSLY decreased. He used to always try to impress her and get nervous around her... now it is gone

Sakura totally loves Saskue more than she loves Naruto. She wanted to kill Saskue for Saskue. She could not take seeing Saskue be bad. She did not try to kill him for Naruto. ALso Sakura thought about Saskue when the Iwa ninja asked who she loved she did not think of Naruto

It is called S&M
it is not unusal for girls to like bad boys

No Yahiko is more like Saskue

Yahiko and Saskue
-both of their families died
-are all talk and no bite (Yahiko was not the strongest in the group)
-Saved by Nagato (like Saskue was saved by Naruto)
-Left the group (Saskue left the group and Yahiko died)
-Had connenction with the femal (Konan liked Yahiko more than Nagato, Sakura likes Saskue more than Naruto)

Nagaot and Naruto are both alike
-Raised without parents
-taught under sam master
-both potentil children of prophecy
-both are uzumaki
-both have family that they did not know about
-both have will power
-both want peace

Naruto is more like Nagato than Saskue is

@Stin8

As a young boy Minato was
-shy (like Hinata)
-calm (like Hinata)
-collected (like Hinata)
-wants to be acknowledge (like Hinata)
-determined (like Hinata)
-stamina (like Hinata)
-loving (like Hinata)

[Nostradamus]

@Princeofpeace I'm sorry mate but what the hell are you following anyway? Over 90% of everything you said is complete bs. For example "Saved by Nagato (like Saskue was saved by Naruto)". So Naruto saved Sasuke? What? When? You got it completely wrong it was Sasuke who saved Naruto in part 1 against Haku. I can go on with the rest that you said but that's enough for now.

[PrinceofPeace]

Naruto saved Saskue
-from Garra
-Masked Oro
-Haku
-filler enemies

Saskue saved Naruto
-from Demon Bros
-Haku

Ok first: Hello! im joining the debate now first i'll have to make it clear so you dont get confused with my opinion: Im for NaruHina... im not saying that they love each other and they'll end together but still i have my hopes

Well i read everything on the Thread and this is my reply:
On the manga NaruHina is growing more and more and NaruSaku is staying behind and i think that wont last longer... on Chapter 573 Hinata says something like she wont chase Naruto anymore(wait is not in that way) that the next time she'll be next to him holding his hand and wait for her also on 558-559 Naruto makes her know how he sees her as a strong woman (not saying he loves her) also on the recent episodes 611 Hinata comes and asks for naruto is he's ok he implies that he's alright and Kiba adds "You dont have to act so tough just because Hinata is here" from that i can take the conclussion that Naruto remembers the confession, and since her confession, naruto didnt have time to solve things with Hinata: The war, Obito, Sasuke.... he still has a lot to do so he wont be looking for a girl until everyting is cool
now.... since the episode when Sakura "Confess" that she loves naruto he knows that she's not being honest so from that we can assume that SasuSaku is still there cuz even on the anime kakashi talks about the love of Sakura towards Sasuke and that beacause of that she wanted to kill him..... still Sakura doesnt see Naruto more than a friend, when she hugged him it was in way of appreciation of all the village like a thank you hug... appart from that: Kishimoto has to do what he thinks is best im sure everyone will be happy with the end whatever it is, OH! almost forgot from SasuSaku is just my opinion: I dont think that will happen cuz now Sasuke is obsessed with revenge, revenge took over him, now he wants to destroy Konoha and kill everyone so i dont think he's interested in love too bad for Sakura
still lets see what Kishi has prepared for us cuz he knows the end already, now he has to put the pieces together and End
If you read all of it THANK YOU!

[PrinceofPeace]

Your welcome great points fellow naruhina fan

I swear, this debate will NEVER end. Somebody is not gunna be satisfied with Naruto when he DOES make a decision. Right now, I'm in between the two major pairs because at the very moment, I still don't see Naruhina happening (that's probably because I'm watching the anime rather than the reading the manga) and right now there hasn't been any further Narusaku moments either because...... HELLO they're in the middle of a war!!!!!!! Naruto does not have time to sit down and think about his options until everything is chill again. Even then, even though it pains me to say it, I don't think his feelings for Sakura is gunna change; I have yet to see evidence of him falling OUT of love with Sakura, or falling IN love with Hinata. There's no telling how the story is gunna swing so I think it would be better if our expectations weren't too high. But that's just me.

Now let me just say one last thing before I'm completely done with pairing threads all together: while I think it's important to take in account of what Naruto WANTS, I also think it's important to focus on what he DESERVES. He has selflessly put Sakura's feelings before his own by the way he was willing to step aside and let Sakura go all "Sasuke crazy"; he never forced himself on her and for that he is very noble and respectful. His ORIGINAL reason for going after Sasuke was because of his own sake and because of Sakura's POAL, and he willingly endured the emotional pain that went with it. For that I think he DESERVES Sakura's love. ALL of it. Meaning half of her no longer obsesses over Sasuke. However, Sakura is still not entirely sure if she wants to give all of her heart to Naruto and that I don't think Naruto deserves; he shouldn't have to continuously fight and work to get Sakura to change her feelings for him. The fact that she is still unsure of her feelings after all he did for her is a slap in his face.

Hinata has simply loved Naruto, for all his good qualities AND his flaws; unconditionally and unquestionably. This is what I think Naruto DESERVES. I'm not gunna try and pull evidence from chapters, episodes, or databooks this is simply my opinion. Although Naruto has not shown any romantic interest towards Hinata, just the fact that her feelings towards him are unchanging (in my eyes) makes her the better choice. He wouldn't have to fight or work too hard at obtaining her love because it's already there, and he wouldn't have to compete with someone else for all of her feelings because she only has eyes for him. Naruto has fought and worked long and hard enough, it's about time he got a break; no one should have to work as hard as he does for love. I know he wants Sakura and I know that he has come so far already at winning what little affection she has for him, but if he continues to go through everything he already went through AGAIN, he's gunna end up killing himself. And if he dies, no one can have him. Bottom line, Hinata is the one who can give Naruto what he DESERVES without competition or desperate circumstances.

Now, whether he realizes this or not is all up to Kishi in the end; I will support whichever pair that will come to pass and make Naruto happy (which, at this very moment, seems to be NaruSaku but it's still a long way until the end so this is susceptible to change) but my opinion still stands, and if you take away all the explanations for my opinion, you will see that it all boils down to this:

After all the crap Naruto went through just for Sakura's sake, love, and affection, I think he DESERVES far more than just half of her sorry ass indecisive heart!!!

hm hm hm..... well that's a good point ok im not gonna use references again.... Sakura loves Sasuke even tough he doesnt love her and Naruto loves Sakura, is like a love triangle (i talk spanish so i dont know if the expression is right ) still on the anime still(sorry i had to make this reference) Naruto makes her know that chasing sasuke was for his sake and he wanted to do it so the promise with her is no loner there(i think) from there on when sasuke and naruto meet again it'll be a fight for Konoha, Sasuke wants to destroy it and Naruto want to protect it, now according to what we know they'll both die in that fight, so until we get there we've to see if things go for NaruHina or for NaruSaku cuz in the end they'll be friends again in the other side (i mean sasuke and naruto) and they wont worry about their "couple", one last thing: I think all that Naruto made for Sakura was because of Her,himself and Sasuke, i see those actions more like a relative's like a brother protecting her sister Sakura is like Naruto's sister and Naruto is like Sakura's brother tha's why (just my opinion) we can see that affection between them, still i dont see boyfriend/girlfriend love there AND(the last one promise) Naruto and Sakura's "thing" is like Jiraya and Tsunade's, they didnt end together, maybe they wont make the same mistakes and my "solution" for that is that Naruto will find someone else (I'm for NaruHina after all ) Have a nice day!!1
