NaruHina confirmed. Frog, step away from the knife.
These types of premature comments have a tendency to come back to bite you. I wouldn't count your chickens before they hatch.
Still laughing. Just another proof how badly the romance was written in this series. All those so called moments, in the end, amounted to nothing. Years have passed with nothing happening. All that determination from Hinata how after the war they'll be together, Naruto's feelings supposedly changing positively towards her due to moments like the confession or hand holding. Nothing. Secret feelings? Confession forgotten then. She couldn't reach him. So Kishi and SP had to fabricate this setup and insert out-of-nowhere kid flashbacks to get it rolling in the end. If this were any other pairing I'd still would feel the same. What a cop out :lmao
The romance is pretty terribly written especially because it's been drawn out so damn long. I think the fandoms care more about being right than anything at this point.
I personally like the kid flashbacks, itll give some more development to Hinata and we can see how Naruto felt before he was acknowledged by anyone. Cause it seems like he cant believe that someone could possibly care about him.
Also frog cant use the argument of "where was Hinata when naruto was all alone" cause it looks like she fucking tried to be there for him and be his friend but he rejected her because he couldnt believe that she wanted to be friends with him.
What it does is retcon Naruto and Hinata's relationship. When she was introduced in the manga, Naruto hardly knew her. He introduced her as the weird, quiet chick that looked away when he noticed her. Now we're supposed to believe that not only did she reach out to him when they were kids, Naruto, lonely as he was, turned her away, and remember this 15 years or so later? Give me a break.
The argument still works just fine. If Hinata tried and failed, she still failed to actually do anything but support him from a distance.
At this point its hard to really deny that naruhina is a thing. I mean in that spread with all the characters having words next to them Hinatas word is just "Love"
No, it really isn't. Hinata Naruto-kunning as per usual is hardly indicative of anything. Everything still indicates an entirely one-sided love story. You are jumping to conclusions based on very little information and wishful thinking.
Indeed. Just like how Karin met Sasuke in the forest of death, Sasuke and Itachi hunting, and Obito's sudden phasing under a boulder.
How are these remotely the same? These are origin stories within the manga itself. No author will introduce characters and spill everything about them from the start. The stories also make perfect sense.
Sasuke and Karin knew each other before he came to recruit her. Orochimaru has a history of recruiting children for his cause when they're young. That Karin, who is the same age as Sasuke, attended the chūnin exam as Sasuke and Orochimaru as a Kusa genin is not at all surprising.
Obito's survival was telegraphed as fuck. If you didn't see that one coming, that's entirely on you.
How is Sasuke and Itachi hunting a retcon, or any significance of that matter? We knew they had a good relationship and used to train together. You're reaching here.
Remember the "Madara" manipulating the Mizukage from the Shadows and how Kisame knew about it? Nope Kishi forgot as well. It was said that Killerbee was the only one that is a perfect host, then the Mizukage was. It was also said that a perfect host is immune to Genjutsu, yet the Mizukage was put in one for ages.
Didn't Izanagi first require the blood of both Uchiha and Senju to work? Then you have a flashback history on Uchiha's spamming it to make room for Izanami.
Kishi didn't forget. We knew Kisame was an odd one, but we never knew why he deserted his village. Now we know he believed Obito was Madara, which was reasonable enough considering Obito demonstrated his ability to manipulate a perfect jinchūriki with his Sharingan, which is no small feat.
Speaking of which, the manga said perfect jinchūrik were immune to genjutsu with the help of their bijū. Obito was strong enough to suppress both the bijū and the jinchūriki, i.e. it was perfectly logical.
As for Izanagi, a while back I read that initial translations were wrong, and that the technique was based on Creation of All Things. Apparently only the latter required both Yin and Yang. Izanagi did not, though Hashirama's cells increased its potency, similarly to how Danzō was able to use Shisui's Kotoamatsukami once every day instead of once per decade.
