Wait, They Don't Love You Like I Love You

[redbrunja]

Oh, Naruto, do you know how lame it sounds to have a flashback and then repeat exactly what the flashback just said? Because... it's super lame.

...and now we have more Naruto-pegging.... *can't think of a way to make it more pervy than it is*

FUCK YES HINATA!

Oh, so now love is to blame for war? Get pegged, Pain. How about whiny little brats who don't have enough inner strength to stop the cycle? How about them? Stop blaming other people for the fact that YOU'RE acting like the ninjas who killed your parents. YOU.

Also, whoever on my flist called Nagato's parents being Konoha ninjas... you called it.

Hinata's latest crowning movement of awesome is awesome.

Thoughts: I kinda hope Hinata is dead, because if not, this could lead to a Hinata/Naruto ending, which while awesome for Hinata (and I want her to get everything she wants), would also probably mean a Sasuke/Sakura ending, which would suck.

You know, this is when I wish SO HARD that Kishimoto had let Sakura learn the jutsu to calm the Nine-Tails. Although maybe we'll have a repeat of her running towards him, and maybe this time we'll get a successful beauty tames the best?

If Hinata dies I will cry like a whiny bitch. :'C

I personally would love a NaruHina ending, even if it meant dealing with a SasuSaku, if only because I love Naruto and Hinata combined more than I love Sakura (blasphemy, I know. Don't get me wrong, I do love Sakura, but I also love Naruto and Hinata, both as a separate people and as a couple)

I could live with SasuSaku if Sakura beats the living shit out of him first.

Plus you can always pretend she's cheating on him with Kakashi (assuming he's still alive, of course). I know I will.

MY GOD PLEASE DON'T LET THEM KILL HINATA I WILL CRY. >.

I'm the reverse; I love Naru/Hina, but I love Sakura and her arc more, and would HATE to see her squashed down in a relationship with Sasuke.

This would hugely change my perspective on Sakura/Sasuke.

And this is not untrue.

Word. That's the best kind of SasuSaku. In which Sasuke is totally whipped.

why can't it be NaruHina and SakuraSai? There is a new member of Team 7, you know... *shot for crackshipping*

I WANT THAT SO MUCH I DON'T EVEN WANT TO HOPE. I honestly had that though, 'maybe this means that Sakura/Sai will be canon, but...'

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

The animators already ship the hell out of it.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

They do.

Here is my wish for canon, yo. With up so floating many bells down.

I'm in the other camp. I feel like Sakura and Naruto know each other in a way that Hinata and Naruto don't, so NaruHina's never really done it for me. It's always felt so unrequited. Plus, I didn't even *like* Hinata that much until the time-jump.

But now...lately I've been reassessing Hinata and while I'm still bored by her "type" of character, I am did cheer for her this chapter.

And I'm kind of feeling...like I don't want Hinata to be with anyone. Or at least not anyone in canon, not until she's a hot 22 year old or something. I want her personal growth arc to go full circle: as part of loving and learning from her idol, she outgrows her infatuation with him and eventually lets go of that as well.

Years later she looks back fondly on her first love, and she always thinks of Naruto with affection. They fight in more battles together and at one crazy drunken birthday party she kisses him--then she laughs, and he laughs, and she hugs him and tells him, "You're my f-favorite, just w-wanted you to know." When the village of Rain goes into a civil war they fight side by side to maintain the security of Fire Country's borders. One bloody morning Hinata sees the sword before he does, and if Hinata hadn't grabbed his utility belt to pull him into the mud Naruto would have been a head shorter and never lived to accept the Hokage's robes from an eagerly abdicating Hatake Kakashi.

Years pass, they change bit by bit (and down they forgot as up they grew). She sends him holiday cards and invites his family to eat with hers in the home she built across the city from the Hyuuga complex, where she has a husband she loves not because he's perfect or because he's everything she wishes could be; instead he's good and he fits and they're happy because around him she already is what she wants to be, as effortlessly as breathing. And her children laugh while they bicker over who has the best aim, and who is Uncle Hokage's favorite, and none of them, none of them wear a mark.

actually, I can summarize:

So, basically, Hinata should marry Iruka. EVERYONE WINS.

Re: actually, I can summarize:

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

But what about ANKO?!?!?!?!

Re: actually, I can summarize:

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

I don't think Anko would be a very good wife for Hinata. Now, Anko and Ino... I could see it.

Re: actually, I can summarize:

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

I meant, if Iruka married Hinata, what about Anko?

Although her consoling herself with Ino? FUCK YES.

LOL, I know. I'm just messin' with ya...

*chuckles* I would be all for a Naru/Hina ending, but you know what? I have always shipped SasuSaku, but specifically under the caveat that she wipes the walls with his self-absorbed, pea-brained face first, thoroughly rubbing his nose in the fact that HE sold himself body and soul and got turned into an ugly purple goomba and SHE still ended up stronger than him through honesty, loyalty, intelligence, and good old-fashioned hard work. Because Sakura deserves whoever the frick she wants, and Sasuke deserves a good smackdown and one non-writer-sabotaged chance to display signs of a functional brain.

So, yeah. That right there is my favorite Sakura pairing, and I would be very satisfied if the series ended with it. It may or may not qualify as an OT3, since all three elements must be present for me to ship it: Sakura, Sasuke, and wiping the walls with him. In fact, it kinda needs its own name. SakuSasuWallwipery? XD

ahahaaha. YES.

Also? Iawtc like whoa.

thoroughly rubbing his nose in the fact that HE sold himself body and soul and got turned into an ugly purple goomba and SHE still ended up stronger than him through honesty, loyalty, intelligence, and good old-fashioned hard work.

THIS THIS OMG THIS.

Someone hand Kishi a cluebat for this. Because all I see is Sasuke getting away with his crap and very little in-text criticism of that.

See, that is the kind of OT3 I could get behind (I am notoriously nevry about them, simply because I have a hard time conceiving of a relationship that is truly equal in three different directions.)

And honestly, if I thought Kishimoto would ever write Sakura thoroughly rubbing his nose in the fact that HE sold himself body and soul and got turned into an ugly purple goomba and SHE still ended up stronger than him through honesty, loyalty, intelligence, and good old-fashioned hard work. I would be TOTALLY DOWN with a Sasuke/Sakura ending, and in fact, really like Sakura getting what she's wanted for years.

I should preface this by saying that IAWTC LIEK WHOA~

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

...rubbing his nose in the fact that HE sold himself body and soul and got turned into an ugly purple goomba...

I'm starting to think that I'm the only freak in the fandom who thinks that CS2 is actually kinda hot.

[mshepnj.livejournal.com]

I've sort of given up on SasuSaku (because I'm not sure he'll be redeemed), but it does occur to me that it would be an interesting twist if Sakura kicks Sasuke's ass to the next country and makes it clear she is OVER him and can't love someone who is twisted by hatred, only to have him suddenly realize that he actually misses her affection and wants to stalk pursue her after all. He wouldn't be the first guy, even in this manga, who wants the one he can't have.
