[Amikami]

You think Naruto wouldn't be so dense that he doesn't realize Hinata's crush.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Come at me, Bro!

 

[Doctor Decimate]

Kenshiro is better

 

[Seda]

Hinata obsesses over Naruto like Sakura obsesses over Sasuke, but at least he encourages her and such.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Gaara wants a piece of that action.

She's 12 and he's 13.

Their age doesn't matter. She is physically a little girl.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Man I can't believe there was ever a time I wanted Naruto to end up with Sakura instead of Hinata, someone slap me

Oh man, what were you going thorugh

 

[Seda]

And Gaara's about to flip

 

[blitzwolf215]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Kakashi, Sasuke can't take down Neji.

 

[grandjedi6]

"Even sasuke isn't good enough to stop Neji!"

lolololololol

Even teach is a fanboy

 

[Rewrite]

Gaara feeling dat urge.

 

[TheChits]

These aren't so much fights as they are people arguing philosophy.

Welcome to Naruto

 

[ThatObviousUser]

ugh they really need to change the OP soon

I think like 5 more episodes

It's the sixth episode after tonight's. Should air on December 8.

 

[Man God]

That's my favorite part of Naruto in total.

Also why the Chunin exam finals and the fifth and final non filler season of Naruto is good; lots of Shikamaru.

 

[Shard]

Actually Naruto, I do not think she can do this.

 

[bigkrev]

And Gaara's about to flip

He just needs to kill someone NAO!

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Patty Cake, patty cake.

And Gaara's about to flip

Gaara needs a bother hit of that good stuff.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

"I've been stalking you for many years now."

 

[MetatronM]

Hinata wants dat Nine Tails.

 

[Raxus]

One of the few times TnJ fails.

Stalker flashback.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

Flashbacks

 

[OldAsUrSock]

Gaara wants a piece of that action.



Their age doesn't matter. She is physically a little girl.

That could beat Sasuke right now.

 

[pirata]

They always flash back to this one scene.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Hinata: The Thirstiest Girl in the World.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Those fingers

 

[Levyne]

Watching you!

because that's not creept

 

[Shard]

Oh my god, I think they found the cheesiest music ever recorded.

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

Hinata has a flashback whilst unfitting music plays.

 

[Crocodile]

The best part, as far as I can remember, is that Hinata's character doesn't really change after this fight at all. LOL

 

[ThatObviousUser]

She is ALWAYS watching Naruto

Bwahahaha I knew what this link was, lmao.

 

[Amikami]

Even though Hinata's getting beat pretty brutally, she shows more fighting ability and style than Ino and Sakura did throughout the entirety of their battle. They literately just threw fist and cut hair 90% of the battle.

Edit: Better flashbacks too.

 

[BassForever]

Well it sort of comes up again in part 2. Kinda...



That too. For all his faults Kishi really does handle death in Naruto very very well, which is why I was disappointed with a recent one in the manga.

Honestly the actual way it happened fit well, the problem was that LATE PART 2 SPOILERS

Spoiler

Neji did nothing for all of part 2, had he continued to play a role in the story. Him dying to save Hinata/Naruto and his final words work well for his development in part 1... it just came way too late

 

[B-Dubs]

Hinata's entire flashback is about how thirsty she is...if it wasn't so sad it'd be funny

Honestly the actual way it happened fit well, the problem was that LATE PART 2 SPOILERS

Exactly. Normally Kishi is really good about the build up to the deaths as well, this one just fell flat which was a aberration for the series. The fact he messed it up is how you can be positive he's rushing to the end.

 

[SykoTech]

It's a shame Hinata never got to develop more. She has like 2 big moments after this in the whole series, and they both involve her nearly dying and being helpless aside from motivating Naruto.

 

[789shadow]

This music is fucking trash.

 

[BatDan]

Every breath you taaaaake.
Every move you maaaake.
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching yooooou.

 

[Seda]

Neji's like - fuck your flashbacks and music

 

[Shard]

Okay, i find this flashback to be more unsettling and creepy then womantic.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Gentle fist is still pretty brutal. Dat hit.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

Another flashback...

 

[Doctor Decimate]

good lord this show has so many flashbacks

 

[Rewrite]

Flashback no jutsu!

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Hut hut hike!

 

[Jintor]

Animation quality going bananas

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Every breath you taaaaake.
Every step you maaaake.
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching yooooou.

goddammit. XD

 

[Beelzeboss]

how did she fit all this tree hitting in between her Naruto stalking?

 

[foxuzamaki]

The best part, as far as I can remember, is that Hinata's character doesn't really change after this fight at all. LOL

She does actually, except for

Spoiler

becoming even more shyier around naruto, probably because of the not seeing him for 2 years thing

but she isnt really afraid of anything anymore, especially during the pain arc

 

[BatDan]

And once again, this is why there needed to be a few extra arcs between Zabuza and the Exams.

 

[BassForever]

If Naruto doesn't end up with Hinata at the end of the story

Kishi all my hate

ALL OF MY HATE!

 

[Levyne]

meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh

 

[Crocodile]

She is ALWAYS watching Naruto

Ok this is awesome. Maybe I should watch that Naruto SD show
