NaruHina Analysis
Naruto Manga Part 1
Part 5
Tumblr media
Naruto and Neji are about to start their fight. Naruto mentions and does the same gesture of the oath of blood he made for Hinata. But Hinata has no knowledge of this promise. He is going to fight mainly for her, but also himself, of course, since Neji’s cruel words about destiny and failures also affected him. But he does it especially for her, otherwise he wouldn’t mention the promise again and act so intense about him. Hinata had really reached him with her inspirational words before this fight, and the bond he created with her earlier during Neji vs Hinata is why he’s so intense and eager to win. Remember how depressed he was before Hinata’s speech? Now he has regained his confidence and feels tougher than ever, all thanks to her words.
Tumblr media
Hinata has a strange reaction where she coughs up blood everytime Naruto takes a hit. This is not the first time that happend, it also happend during the chunnin exams in Naruto vs Kiba. I think what Kishimoto is trying to show here is that Hinata and Naruto have such a deep bond that every hit Naruto takes Hinata feels too.
When Naruto is on the ground, wounded and defeated, he thinks about Rock Lee and Hinata. Both have been treated as failures in their lives, and that had to overcome hardships in their lives like loneliness, inferiority complex, resentment, misunderstanding etc. All things he have gone through too.
Tumblr media
Hinata loses consciousness after her wounds ”seem to reopen”. So she misses out on what Naruto is about to say about her soon. I always wondered why Kishimoto didn’t let Hinata see this, oh well...
Naruto has a grudge on Neji after Hinata vs Neji fight. His words about destiny and failures deeply affected him, but also the way he treated Hinata made him exceptionally angry.
Tumblr media
This kinda speaks for itself, Naruto is literally saying why he’s so furious at Neji, people who say Naruto doesn’t care about Hinata are so wrong, JUST READ THIS, THIS ANSWERS THEIR QUESTIONS. Anyway im getting ahead of myself.
What Naruto is saying here is that he still has a grudge on Neji for how he mentally attacked Hinata before their fight. He is so mad at how he insulted her and mocked her for being an failure despite how sad and innocent she was. He says himself that he could never forgive him for treating her like that, she reached Naruto so much that he has to call him out on his treatment of her. Hinata was so much like Naruto he could see this, they will both fight until the end.
Tumblr media
After Neji’s backstory speech he accuses Naruto of never understanding his pain. Naruto starts thinking about his childhood and how much pain he himself has gone through thanks to having the nine tails inside of him. Just like Neji had his curse seal. We all know how much Naruto has suffered because of this. But he keeps fighting anyway.
Tumblr media
Naruto can feel his pain, but the diffrence is that Naruto doesn’t let it get to him like Neji. He continues to fight over and over again, never giving up regardless of how bad he feels. He doesn’t let himself get consumed by hatred because he believes in himself despite all odds. And he sees all this in Hinata. He sees himself in Hinata. He has a deep appreciation and respect for her otherwise he wouldn’t keep bringing her up during their fight.
Tumblr media
Naruto could have brought up himself here since that was what he was thinking about before, but he brings up Hinata instead. He tells Neji that she has also suffered just as much as him. Naruto understands and empathizes with the suffering of Hinata. He recognizes her will to overcome and the extreme effort to change into someone better, just as he does. He also mentions that Hinata struggles to gain the respect of her clan, just like him too with the people of the village, he understands her will to be acknowledged as that is something he likes in other people. Naruto is very defensive and protective of her that he goes out of his way to call Neji out on his treatment of her. Why is he so eager to bring her up if it wasn’t important to him?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When trying to activate Nine Tails Chakra he thinks of Hinata (also Rock Lee but mostly Hinata) and his promise to her and for her to be watching him. This was actually the first time he was motivated to activate Nine Tails Chakra for Hinata, even before Pain. To activate the Nine Tails Chakra one has to reach very strong emotions and to achieve this, Naruto thinks about other failures like him to motivate him. But he thinks about Hinata the most and mentions her in their fight over and over again. So thinking about her helps him activate the kyuubi’s chakra which requires strong emotions to activate....
Tumblr media
After Naruto defeats Neji he is still thinking about Hinata. He wonders where she is and if she’s watching him. Let’s really think about this. Naruto‘s just defeated one of the strongest shinobi up to this moment. He’s just proved to everybody, not only all teachers and comrades, but all of Konoha as well, that he can change his destiny. He has guts and nothing is gonna stop him. The people of Konoha and other shinobi nations are acknowledging him. This is incredible for Naruto and despite all that, he is still thinking about Hinata. I’d say the bond they shared, the promise of blood and the proud failure speech reached Naruto so deeply that it means more to him than the petty acknowledgement of the village that treated him like trash.
So if we take all the NaruHina moments up to this point and form a conclusion i’d say it’s very likely that Naruto was in love with Hinata subconsiously. He was just to young to understand it and quite frankly what he felt for her was suprisingly deep and mature for someone so childish like Naruto. It was genuine apprectiation of someone as a kindred spirit. What Naruto felt for Hinata, even if he didn’t know, wasn’t a shallow and superficial ”crush” (*cough* Sakura *cough*) but a genuine fondness of her as a person, her shortcomings didn’t matter to him, cause he could feel that her heart was in the right place and he could understand her as a kindred spirit. He even said it himself ”i really like people like you”. He was constantly mesmerised by her actions and words and he showed in her fight and in this fight that he really cared about her and was very protective of her too and had to bring her up to Neji over and over again, he just couldn’t let go. No wonder he fell in love with Hinata so fast and hard in The Last, because he already felt something for her for a very long time... He just didn’t know it yet...
That is all for these analyses. Check out my other parts if you wanna read about all the other Part 1 NaruHina Moments in more detail.
I have also done a finished analysis on NH moments in Shipudden aswell so the link to first part is here if you’re interested:

NaruHina Analysis
Naruto Manga Part 1
Part 4
Tumblr media
Naruto is about to have his fight with Neji. He frets over everything he’s heard of Neji, and his power. He is scared out of his mind of fighting someone so powerful that he could barely sleep that night. He’s unable to be his usual hot headed and confident self this time. Naruto is actually insecure. He hides behind a bravado because it masks his vulnerabilty.
Tumblr media
We can see here how he tries to cheer himself up with his usual load confident-tough guy behaviour, but his fear of facing Neji and presumibly Gaara is too much for even that. His bravado is faltering and despair is taking over. He’s falling into an old self that he tries to desperatly ignore but his fear of the reality of going up against such fiercely powerful opponents.... its simply too much to keep it up even for him. His depression is coming back to him.
Tumblr media
He goes to the training grounds, probably to try and relive some fond memories of when he first became a ninja. Almost like visting dear places before one dies... Anyways he sees Hinata standing there and his first instinct is to ask if she’s alright now (so he obviously remembers her fight). Hinata is startled of his sudden appearance and hides behind a training pole for comfort.
Tumblr media
Naruto doesn’t wanna reveal why he’s here, since you know, hes depressed and scared over his upcoming fight and he doesn’t wanna show that. After his somewhat angry answer, Hinata looks sad and Naruto sighs because he realises he sounded mean and that wasn’t his intention. (But i feel like it was an exception for Hinata since she’s so calm and nice to him so he feels bad, if it was someone else he wouldn’t care or even open up more but continue his bravado). He asks her about Neji and if he’s powerful since she’s just fought him.
Tumblr media
Look at Naruto’s face after she tells him Neji is strong, extremly bothered and worried. Naruto tries to hide his emotions and screams out really loadly as a cover up for his despair. He’s worried that someone will see his weakness, that he isn’t as confident and happy as he seems to be on the outside. He pretends in front of her that he isn’t afraid and worried.
Tumblr media
Hinata confess that it was all thanks to him that she feels like she has changed. Naruto continues with his bravado to hide his fear, but he knows exactly what Hinata means about wanting to change. But in his current mood he’s unable to believe that she thinks that highly about him. This is very odd behaviour coming from the hot headed load confident Naruto.
Tumblr media
Naruto always tries to hide when he’s hurt or worried. He doesn’t want people to feel pity for him so that’s why he always acts tough and have this bravado behaviour. But his true emotions come out and he opens up to her that he might seem strong to her, but that’s only because he acts tough and in reality he’s frustrated because he’s a failure. This is the first time we see Naruto acting like his trueself in front of someone. We see him vulnerable and natural, speaking freely about his concerns and insecurities. Not in front of Sasuke, Sakura or Kakashi, no, all this in front of Hinata of all people. Why? Well, in universe because she’s able to make him feel calm and after what happend in her previous fight he started seeing her as a kindred spirit with similar problems as him. He feels comfortable to reveal something so personal and that is defiantly not usual behaviour for Naruto (atleast not this early in the manga). He hasn’t even been his true self in front of Iruka yet and that says something about what he feels for Hinata.
But Hinata, immediatly, dismiss Naruto’s words, And makes her ”Proud Failure Speech”, her first motivational talk to Naruto. But Hinata doesn’t just tell him what he wants to hear, she calls him a ‘proud failure’ and even tells him he’s not perfect. So, to all that antis who says Hinata is meek with Naruto, this proves they’re wrong. She tells him exactly what she thinks of him but not to please him but to encourage him and not let him sink emotionally.
Tumblr media
Hinata tells him that his true strength is his will to never give up and that she thinks he’s an incredibly strong person. This touches Naruto so much that hes speechless and mesmerised and even blushing. It’s a similiar reaction he had when Iruka acknowledged him.
Tumblr media
We see here that the first time he felt warmth and love was when Iruka gave him his headband and acknowledged him. So what do you think he’s feeling during her Proud Failure Speech? It’s certaintly something ’warm’ atleast, i tell you that ;)
She motivated him so much that he no longer feels depressed and feels GREAT now and it’s all thanks to her speech. Her words not only brought him out of despair but also helps him for his upcoming fight against Neji but also Gaara and probably all the other enemies in the story too. Hinata just taught him something incredible about himself he didn’t even think of. Hinata made him realize just how strong he really is and that his true strength is how he never gives up, something he already thinks very strongly of. Imagine what that must feel like for him.
We have seen him motivated by memories of Iruka, Sasuke, Haku,… but never through a direct speach, face to face, this was also the reason he showed his true power in his fight against Gaara, the Proud Failure Speech and these memories was the real reason.
Tumblr media
Naruto then has the honesty to tell her what he thought of her before but that he now really likes people like her. (Which is just a less awkward way of saying that he now adores her). He tells her she better come watch him kick Neji’s ass, since he will do it mainly for her. Dont forget that he also made that blood vow that he now has serious motivation to fulfill. Hinata is completly speechless, poor girl, she probably never expected someone to say that to her, the way she’s been treated by her clan, let alone by the person she admires the most.
Why would Kishimoto even bother to create this chapter? Because it’s not only foreshadowing of NaruHina, but also a character defining moment for Naruto. If it weren’t for her speech he would have most certaintly been killed by Neji. We saw how depressed he was. So that means Naruto dies In chapter 100, R.I.P Uzumaki Naruto. But also without truly knowing what his real motivation and strength was he wouldn’t be able to defeat strong opponents like Pain. It was his will to never give up that brought out his victory against Pain and that made him finally be acknowledged by the Village atlast. But without this speech he wouldn’t know it, he wouldn’t feel it as strongly compared to if someone that truly understood him told it to him.
Also about NH, this is the beginning of something. This settles the base of a future relationship. When you start a relationship with someone it is needed you like her/him as a person first, at least, all good relationships. And Naruto and Hinata have already achieved that. Also being able to open up to someone about your insecurities and worries, especially when you’re someone who tries their hardest to hide their true emotions like Naruto, and then being able to get out of despair by the other persons motivational words so easily (while looking like you’re about to melt), i mean this means something. It’s foreshadowing to Naruto and Hinata as eventual lovers.
Anyway that is all for this part, here are the previous parts

NaruHina Analysis
Naruto Manga Part 1
Part 3
Tumblr media
While everyone else doubt that Hinata could continue to fight, Naruto is seen getting very frustrated. He wants Hinata to prove that failures can change. By adopting his attitude she shows Naruto that she has the same mind set as him and that obviously creates a huge impact on the neglected orphan who no one pays any respect to. That someone admires him and adopts his nindo, that he has such an influence on someone is amazing to him. So thus he naturally respects her and believes in her. He’s very eager to watch and cheer for her, because he sees his own struggles in her and acknowledges her as an equal. While everyone else doubts, he believes and i think that’s very important.
Tumblr media
Hinata attacks with all her strength, while Naruto’s words resonates in her mind. She never belittled Naruto, never judged him. She has always believed in him throughout her life, as we see in the flashbacks panels. We see here just how strong Hinata feels for Naruto. He is her comfort, her source of inspiration. She is treated like dirt by her family in a world that forces children to fight as soldiers. Hinata is a natural pacifist. Her calm and kind nature is too peaceful for war and perhaps that holds her back from her potential. Low self esteem and self doubt certaintly doesn’t help either. But when she looks at Naruto, she feels hope, that even she can achieve something, that she is worth something. She looks at the other ”failure” and feel admiration and hopefulness just from watching his behaviour. He’s load, she’s quiet. He is confident, she is insecure. He’s an extrovert, she’s shy. The opposite attracts.
May i ask why Kishimoto would bother to show this if it wasn’t important? Hinata is a side character, yet we see her internal dialogue and how she feels for the main character. All this has a meaning and the answer is that Hinata will become Naruto’s love interest.
Tumblr media
Kurenai has seen how much Hinata has tried to change, even when she fails, she keeps trying. She even admits that, although Hinata will lose the match against Neji, Hinata has shown her will to change, and this is a huge step in the development of her character. Naruto is once again her source of inspiration. Knowing that Naruto is cheering for her and looking at her with completly diffrent eyes she feels confidence flow through her and believes in herself more than she ever has before. The look in her eyes says it all.
Tumblr media
Hinata gets struck down by Neji and it looks like she has lost the match. I’ve seen comments from haters that say Hinata is weak or useless, but i mean really?! Do they even know who she’s fighting? We see two individual fights of Hinata, Neji and Pain. Neji is the Hyuga Prodigy and a genius, he is also a year older and fought with the intention to kill. And Pain, i mean oh boy. That bloke killed Kakashi, killed Jiraiya, defeated every single shinobi in the strongest village and blew it up with his own jutsu. Almost defeated Naruto and then still had enough Chakra to revive the whole village. He’s an absolute beast and has powers equal to a God. Only Naruto could defeat those two. Also if Hinata fought anyone else there except for Neji, Lee, Gaara, Sasuke and Naruto she most likely would have clapped them, with relative ease. Not everyone in the Hyuga Clan even unlocks the Byakugan and then they have to master the gentle fist. Which Hinata has done at the age of 12. (She also created her own jutsu in shipudden something that is on par with Naruto and Sasuke so she is far from weak).
The only thing that is on Naruto’s mind right now is Hinata. She is the only thing that matters to him and the only thing he can see in this moment. Naruto knows Hinata wants to change herself. He is seen getting quite upset when it appears that she is losing. Naruto payed so close attention to her that he was the first to notice that she was getting up and yelled very loadly to not stop the match. He was the only one that was not suprised to see her rise up. Of course, he knows she wants to change and this new knowledge of her earns his admiration and respect. He believes in her when everyone else does not and he wants to show them her guts and that she will fight until the end. He would do exactly the same.
Tumblr media
Hinata rises up and keeps fighting, so she can prove to Neji that she can choose her own fate and change it. Naruto is proud of her.
Hinata then stands up against Neji and acts like the bigger person, and acknowledges the real problem. That it is Neji who is truly suffering. This enrages him and he goes into attack to kill her.
Tumblr media
Hinata starts to cough up blood after the gentle fist damages her organs. Naruto screams out to her and is the first to rush over to her. He asks if she’s alright and holds her hand while she loses consciousness. That he reaches for her hand when he checks on her, shows just how strongly he bonded to her. (Kishi also has a thing for hand holding when it comes to romantic pairings *hint hint). He looks very worried for her as we can see from Hinata’s POV and stays with her until she loses conciousness completly.
Tumblr media
Naruto doesn’t separate from Hinata until Neji addresses him, reminding him just the same words he told Hinata, a failure can never change.
Tumblr media
Naruto gets extremly irritated by Neji’s provocation and Naruto says ”you want to test me?”. He then launches at him to beat him to a pulp. Just because he insulted him and thus also Hinata. Naruto was literally going to fight Neji right there and then just because of the way he treated Hinata, and remember this is just an official match, but Naruto reacts very passionatelly and personal to their fight that is technically none of his business. But he felt this personal bond with Hinata that made him react this way. Rock Lee stops Naruto just in time. He could also relate to Hinata since he’s also considered a failure like them, but for whatever reason Naruto is the one who gets much more angry and feels deeper, personal empathy and understanding for Hinata, he has a certain protective instinct regarding her. Which gets confirmed with his next action...
Tumblr media
He remembers Hinata’s Ninja Way and bravery which amazed him, so he picks up her blood with his fingers, squeezes his hand and promises Hinata to defeat Neji for her under a vow of her own blood.
Tumblr media
This is a very impressive gesture and speaks volume of how strongly Hinata reached to Naruto. This shows us Kishimoto’s intentions with Naruto and Hinata. Until now, Naruto has never looked so serious and passionate and made something so impressive, especially for what is essentially a side character. Something that he saw in Hinata triggered a protective instinct and made him trigger a very passionate gesture. My only conclusion is what Naruto felt during all this was the first signs of love. Love because he cared so much about her fight, love because he acknowledges her as a kindred spirit, love because he believed in her when nobody else did. This is all subconcious for him, but it is what made him react this way.
Maybe of topic here but when Naruto watched Sakura’s fight, he could not understand why she acted so aggresively with Ino, even due he has a similar rivalry with Sasuke. Kakashi even adresses this. Naruto just cant connect with Sakura. Meanwhile he has no problem understanding Hinata’s situation.
We can see here that his empathy for Hinata is what made him perform his blood vow. He formed a connection with Hinata and that connection was sealed with his blood vow. In Naruto we see how people are connected through blood, for example with the summoning jutsu. Naruto’s blood vow to Hinata was him sealing that connection between them. That will be all for this part. Here are the previous parts if you wanna read them.

NaruHina Analysis
Naruto Manga Part 1
Part 2
Tumblr media
Kiba tries to demoralise Naruto emotionally during their fight and Hinata thinks this. We see here how Hinata has watched how everyone treated Naruto for a very long time and has very deep empathy for him. She has an in depth analysis of his character and sees the true person inside and not a monster. No one in their age group feels this much empathy and understanding for him. She admires his strength and determination, she knows he is strong. She knows the effort involved in getting up when you are despaired. She knows that better than anyone and that’s why she admires Naruto, since she before this moment, wasn’t capable of doing the same thing.
Kishimoto shows us just how well Hinata understands Naruto and whos the most empathetic for him. Everyone else is starting to notice and acknowledge him NOW. Hinata has already acknowledged him waaaaay before this. Even with his flaws she still acknowledge the great person she sees inside. This is true love.
Naruto seeks acknowledgement and is willing to do anything to achieve it. But being an abused orphan his view on love is screwed and he thinks just gaining everyones respect and admiration is enough. And how will he achieve this? Well the Hokage has the highest amount of respect, right? If he becomes Hokage then everyone is forced to acknowledge his existance at last. But what he truly wants is for someone to care for him, acknowledge his true self and love him for who he is, he seeks this because he has never felt it and he wants it. To feel wanted and loved is what he desperately seeks the only way he knows how. Hinata is what Naruto wants, Kishimoto knows this, we know this, but Naruto doesn’t know it yet.
Tumblr media
Hinata gives Naruto some healing ointment. She wants to help him but her shyness is hard to overcome. With all her strength she manages to overpower it and holds out the healing ointment for him. Kurenai, being a matured adult and Shino’s observation capacity, inmediatly realize the true meaning behind Hinata’s gesture to Naruto. Naruto turns around to look at her immediatly when she said his name but he gets confused by her kind act. He simply cant believe that someone is nice to him.
Tumblr media
Naruto doesn’t understand why Hinata would give this to him. Kurenai helps in the awkward situation and encourages him to take it. It’s actually quite sad that Naruto reacts in this way. It shows just how foreign kind gestures towards him are. He accepts her gift, thanks her and calls her a nice girl. When he’s on his way we see him rub his hand on his back, which is a gesture someone usually does when you’re a little embarresed, but pleased. He also has a big smile on his face. He appreciated her gift and i think that it made him start to really like her. Naruto is not one to often tell someone what he really thinks about them, because he’s afraid people will find out about his insecurities (it’s why he has his tough guy bravado) but he calls her nice and he truly ment it. This is one of the first steps of Naruto’s subconscious love for her, her kindness towards him.
Tumblr media
Neji begins to demoralize Hinata, even before the fight has started.
Besides Neji’s hatred for her, she still sees him as a brother.
He makes a psychological analysis of Hinata. Her personality, insecurities and worries. Hinata reveals that she wants to change herself.
Look at Naruto’s reaction. He has the face of someone trying to hide his emotions (his eyes makes it seem like he doesn’t care that much) but he actually looks very serious. He knows how it feels like to want to change yourself. He is in a constant battle within himself for the same reason everyday of his life. Neji thinks that destiny cannot be changed. Both his and Hinata’s are already determined. And Hinata’s destiny says that she will always be a failure, no matter how much she tries to improve.
These words deeply affect Naruto, who sees himself reflected in Hinata. (Much like how he saw Haku as being like him, much like he’ll see Gaara as being like him, he sees part of himself in Hinata)
Neji continues to mentally attack Hinata, and we see how Naruto gets more and more angry. He cant bare to witness this situation in which he feels completly identified with Hinata.
Tumblr media
He tries to hold in his anger that is turning so intense that some of the kyuubi features start to appear (kyuubi lips). Seeing this girl that was so kind to him (wanted to help him in the written exam and gave him some healing ointment) and that he can now see himself reflected in being treated this badly makes him so angry that he’s literally shaking and his inner demon of hate is even leaking a little. He knows he cant interfere even though he clearly wants to so he has to hold it in....
Tumblr media
But he cant hold it in any longer and he finally explodes. He screams very loadly and tells her ”YOU CAN CHANGE, DONT LISTEN TO HIM”. He then shouts at Neji to stop decide things about people (her) and then encourage Hinata to fight back and stand up for herself, just like he would do. Hinata is mesmerised by Naruto’s sudden words of support and mentally gets herself together and thanks him for snapping out of her depressing state. One must ask themselves if Naruto was only focused on Neji, why did he directly address Hinata when he exploded ”YOU CAN”. It was Hinata he paid attention to, he saw her crying and knew she was in a similar situation as him because of Neji’s words. He also tells her to stand up for herself and fight back, he encourages her and supports her, he believes in her and he hasn’t even seen her fight yet. He’s probably the first to even support her at all actually.
Tumblr media
When Hinata’s attitude changes we see Naruto cheer for her with much more enthusiasm and intensity.
But when Hinata’s attack fails and she gets hit by the gentle fist instead, we see how Naruto gets very shocked and sad. Naruto is shown being distraught when things seem not to be going well.
Tumblr media
Neji tells her to forfeit, but Hinata is determined, she has adopted the same nindo as Naruto. Naruto thinks that if she gives up, it’s as if he does it too and he is admiting to all the people who call them failures they were right. He wants Hinata to prove this isn’t true. Then he sees her do just that while simultaneously using his own words. Every single day he coexist with people who considers him a failure that will never change. So when he sees Hinata adopting the same attitude as him just by his words, hes a goner. This created a huge impact on him. (Look at his face, he’s completly mesmerised by her (a common theme)).
Tumblr media
Naruto reveals that he never knew Hinata was this incredible. He went from thinking she was shy and weird, to then being kind and nice and to know being incredible. That shows how huge an impact this was on him. I find it nice that his peers are suddenly so supportive, Lee says he sees the similarities between them and Sakura even tells him that she has always been watching him. If even their peers notice how Hinata looks at Naruto then you know it’s something special. This is when Naruto really started to notice Hinata.
Tumblr media
Look closely at the top right picture of Naruto. You can just make out that he’s actually blushing. He probably thinks ”Why would Hinata be watching me?” But he doesn’t feel uncomfortable but rather intrigued as his emotions heightened.
Look at his reaction when she started to cough up blood. Everyone else didn’t react that much but Naruto looks on the verge of panic. His reactions are very similar to when he recognized that Haku was like him. But even more deeply.
That will be all for this part. Next part i’ll continue with the fight. Here is the previous part if you missed it.

NaruHina Analysis
Naruto Manga Part 1
Part 1
Tumblr media
Naruto’s opinion about Hinata isn’t very positive at first, but if we apply context and compare her description to other characters it’s actually quite interesting. He comments on how she looks away when he looks at her. Now this may not seem that special at first but it actually means that he has noticed her enough to know that she looks away and has enough information to know that she’s shy. He also described Sasuke as a guy who acts cool and that he hates, but no one would argue that his bond with Sasuke is likely his strongest bond. His descriptions are obviously quick and superficial and are mostly just comedic relief. Shikamaru’s description was that he was a lazy bum and his description of Shino was that he knew nothing about him. So he atleast has some familiarity with her that sticks out in comparasion to other characters, actually his description is probably the most detailed out of all of them. He seemed to have put more thought into hers.
Tumblr media
Naruto is stuck in his own world and fears failing the test so he doesn’t even notice when Hinata sits down next to him. Could also be of course that Hinata is shy and doesn’t want to attract attention to herself so she moves quietly. Besides she overcomes her shyness and initiates words of encouragement to Naruto.
Tumblr media
Naruto is suffering with immense stress and panic over the test and Hinata notices and sympathize with him.
Tumblr media
Then just after Naruto decided not to cheat, Hinata offers him to look at her test. Naruto, who is not used to acts of kindness because of his childhood, is so shocked over this that he even blushes a little bit. This little act of kindness from this girl touched him so much more than people think (enough to make him refuse to cheat because he didn’t want her to get in trouble because of him).
Tumblr media
He questions her offer in his head thinking stuff like ”why would someone do something like that for me?”. Kindness to Naruto is something that is so foreign to him that he denies it and thinks it must be a trap.
Tumblr media
But then he immediatly thinks ”nah Hinata wouldn’t do that” and accuses Kiba of forcing her to do it instead. So he does seem to know her somewhat from the academy since he knows she would never do mean tricks. He also switched his suspicion of her onto someone else rather quickly for someone he ”doesn’t know” didn’t he?
He asks her why, and after seeing her struggle with her anxiety he seems to have a sligthly sympathetic look.
Tumblr media
Haha Naruto so dense, he not know she likes him hahhaha
No im just joking, lets actually put some context into this.
Yes, Naruto isn’t the smartest, but there are more to him not understanding what she means than that. Think about Naruto’s childhood. He has never experienced parental love, he was constantly treated like the plague and everyone in his village hated him for something he didn’t even know about. Of course, someone showing actual care and kindness towards him confuses him, it doesn’t help that his IQ is probably below average, but still, you get what i mean. Also lets not forget that he is only 12 and picking up signs that a girl likes you is not something you are usually skilled at, at that age. Also Hinata is shy, and it can be hard for someone as extroverted as Naruto to understand her not so direct statement.
After his very confused expression, Hinata panicks and comes up with a (apparently) good excuse, that excuse also seems to make perfect sense to Naruto lol. (We can see here that Hinata is not yet confident enough with her feelings for him though, obviously has to do with her self esteem issues because of her clan).
Tumblr media
Naruto then express how lucky he is that he’s next to Hinata, this could also indirectly be viewed as him saying how lucky he is that someone cares for him like Hinata.
He then notices the chunin writing and then it hits him how cheating could risk him (and Hinata) getting caught.
Tumblr media
He puts on a little bravado in front of her and says that an incredible ninja like him doesn’t need to cheat.
Then he shows concern for her and says that she could be caught too (He shows concern for her before his own team even). Honestly if someone else offered him to cheat he wouldn’t act this nice at all. He would be rude and act in his usual hotheaded way. It’s because of her shy and calm nature that he even refuses to cheat in the first place or maybe somewhere in his subconsious mind, he thinks that it’s wrong to take advantage of someone who shows kindness towards him even at a huge risk for their own. The truth is that deep down he was very touched by Hinata’s act of kindness.
Tumblr media
Hinata then gratiuitously apologizes. And Naruto responds that it’s OK. He then does a funny face and says that he’s an idiot.
For some foreshadowing on Kishimotos part, we see Hinata reacting to Naruto’s fear over the 10th question before anyone else does. Why does this matter? Because it’s Kishimoto building up Hinata’s concern for Naruto, specifically. Acknowledging him.
We see here how Hinata is already willing to risk herself to help him, something that will become a running theme.
Also an interesting detail from earlier.
Haku’s line ”if someone who acknowledged you from the bottom of their heart appeared, wouldn’t that person become the most important person to you?”
This line seems to perfectly describe Hinata and i dont think that it’s a coincidence that the arc right after that introduces Hinata and focuses so much on her feelings for Naruto and her acknowledging him more than anyone else. Of course Naruto doesn’t know this yet, but in The Last he finally realizes who that person is, Hinata.

Naruto Manga Part 2
Part 13 Finale
Tumblr media
The reanimated Minato appears on the battlefield. He asks Naruto out of the blue, if the girl healing him is his girlfriend. Naruto’s reaction to this is actually very flat and careless. He hesitates and fumbles his words, then he falsesly agree and says ”if you’re splitting hairs, i guess”. The defintion of splitting hairs is and i quote: to make often peevish criticisms or objections about matters that are minor, unimportant, or irrelevant.
So clearly Naruto doesn’t even remotly see her in a romantic light. Not that he ever did, his ”crush” on her was only a side effect of the rivalry with Sasuke. He only noticed her because she actively tried her best to get noticed by Sasuke and made herself as pretty as possible. And Naruto being the goof that he is, saw the biggest Sasuke fangirls attempt at getting his attention and got jealous of Sasuke and tried to get her attention instead of Sasuke so that he could be better than Sasuke at something.
Anyway Sakura becomes furious and immediatly punches Naruto (in the middle of healing him by the way) and he comments on how she’s supposed to heal him and that he’s suffered more damage now because of her (honestly if anything they are more like two siblings quarrelling).
Then Minato out of the blue just like his stupid girlfriend comment compares Sakura to Kushina. But he actually looks embarrassed that she resembles her not so positive side. Kushina obviously has her loving, caring and ambitious side and he certaintly doesn’t compare her to that, but only her temper (that sooo many girls share in Naruto by the way it’s not exactly a unique trait). Minato looks embarrased and nervously laughs and then says somewhat sarcastically ” i leave my son in you’re capable hands”.
So he doesn’t actually supports them as a couple as some have claimed. Naruto later tells him that he hasn’t found a girlfriend and he accepts that and supports him.
Tumblr media
Naruto thanks Sakura for healing him and then tells her to rest. He doesn’t actually see her as a capable kunoichi and he never really believed in her strength. Compare this to how he treats Sasuke or Hinata where he willingly invites them into battle with him and it becomes blatantly clear that Naruto doesn’t respect her. Besides Sakura even comments on how he only sees her as a damsel in distress and she’s not exactly wrong.
Tumblr media
The first thing Naruto thinks about when he sees Sakura’s new super strength is how she’s gonna ”turn him into a stain” if he makes her angry. Her physical abuse on him has obviously had an lasting effect if that’s the first thing he comes up with. Compare this to Sasuke’s reaction where he smirks proudly instead.
Tumblr media
We get another perspective of Naruto’s and Hinata’s hand holding where we see Naruto squeeze her hand harder and him smiling at her. We also have more foreshadowing of Naruto and Hinata’s future relationship. She notes she wants to stay beside Naruto forever, while remembering Naruto, she is able to not only complete the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, but also combine it with Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists.
Naruto is later at the verge of death and Sakura uses her role as a medic Ninja to try and save him. She talks about how his unbeliveable dream is just around the corner and also does CPR on him (which a lot of people confuse with a kiss for some reason, i guess they’re either stupid or desperate for anything remotely close to NaruSaku). Besides it feels a lot more like Sakura is desperate to save her friend, who is much more like a brother to her than a romantic partner. Honestly the girl has been horny for Sasuke most of her life so why would that suddenly change just because she tries desperatly to save her friend who she only has nothing but platonic feelings towards.
When Naruto’s saved he doesn’t even thank her and just says ”lets go”. The depth honestly astounds me!
Tumblr media
Later Sakura performs a very wise decision of rushing straight towards Madara with no plan or warning of her ingenious plan. This is very similar to when she decided to come back and stab Sasuke when he fought Kakashi. Typical case of narcissism, thinking she’s hot shit and can do everything herself even though Sasuke and Naruto (her much stronger teammates) saved her sorry ass. Naruto and Sasuke then help her and she doesn’t even thank Naruto for saving her and only despairs over Sasuke not caring. Naruto barely reacted at all to her getting stabbed. Compare this to when Hinata got stabbed when he went bat shit crazy and almost transformed into the Nine Tails.
Tumblr media
Hinata is put under the Infinite Tsukuyomi and mentally calls out for Naruto...
Tumblr media
And Naruto hears her mental call! In his protective nature he almost ran out of the Susanoo, leaving Team 7 behind. He is only just stopped by Sasuke. Let me really talk about this here, not only could he hear her mental call, but he also had no hesitation to rush out to save her even though he would leave Team 7, his ”family” behind. I mean hearing mental calls and seeing emotions through eyes, that’s some next level shit honestly!
This sort of validate the idea that Naruto and Hinata are connected. Both Naruto and Hinata constantly use words the other has said (for example Hinata says his Ninja way and Naruto makes a refrence to being ”selfish” earlier in the war. There are so many parallels between them that i cant list them all here). They also understand each others hardships, how they are both ”proud failures” who work hard to change themselves. They are kindred spirits. They both admire and respect each others will to never give up and that’s also ironically why they both start falling for each other. We know how in Naruto people are connected through blood, for example with the summoning jutsu. Naruto’s blood vow to Hinata was him sealing that connection between them.
Tumblr media
Inside the Infinite Tsukuyomi, Hinata dreams of being with Naruto, while Neji and Hanabi watch. Which, incidentally, also discards claims that she cared nothing for Neji because apparently her greatest dreams was being with Naruto and Neji being alive.
Tumblr media
Interesting how they show Hinata in this panel as it could be viewed as an in direct reference to Naruto’s and Hinata’s relationship and past.
Tumblr media
We see Naruto and Hinata standing very close to each other at Neji’s funeral. It was implied that they actually got really close after the war. Hinata is also seen crying at Neji’s funeral so that debunks stupid claims of her not ”caring”. Honestly he was like a brother too her, of course she would care?! What’s wrong with people?
Besides i think that it’s very likely that the Last could have worked to be set shortly after the war. Both Naruto and Hinata have shown (atleast for me) that they both love each other and that they are ready for a relationship. But at the same time, Naruto, even though he’s matured a whole lot compared to the start of Part 2 is still oblivous to real romantic love, even though he has shown signs of it towards Hinata. That he thinks Hinata and Ramen are the same thing is actually somewhat believable since he confuses his love for her with his childhood comfort food that has brought him happiness. It’s actually a very Naruto thing in my opinion.
So it still makes sense to be set 2 years after, the characters need to mature and be older sure, but it defiantly could have worked earlier.
Anyway that will be all for these analyses. It was a lot of fun to write these and hopefully you learned something new by reading them. Hopefully this brought some new light towards NH and also some depth as to why NS was always a crack ship.
Naruto and Hinata’s relationship is something that had always interested me since the start. Actually NH moments in Part 1 are my prefered subject and i wouldn’t mind maybe doing analyses on them too. Thanks for reading!

Naruto Manga Part 2
Part 12
Tumblr media
During the fight with the Juubi, Hinata leaps in to save Naruto. However, Neji jumps in to save them both, and thus lays down his life for two of his most precious people. Obito’s words coupled with Neji’s death utterly break Naruto and he’s despairing. He was gonna join Obito and Madara if it weren’t for a certain someone. (I’d like to give attention to the fact that Hinata is crying, which is a far cry from ”not caring” as some have attempted to claim).
Tumblr media
*SMACK*
Hinata slaps Naruto and holds her hand on his cheek. They look each other straight in the eyes with tears. The look on Naruto’s face is complete shock but there is also a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
Tumblr media
She reminds him of Neji’s last words, that Naruto’s ideals and words were worth fighting for and what drove Neji out of darkness.
Tumblr media
She talks about how everyone has come to share those values and principles, how they’re all family now. She tells him how if he went back on them now, Neji’s sacrifice would have been in vain.
(Naruto is slowly coming back to his senses).
Tumblr media
If Naruto goes back on his word now, it would destroy all of his comrades since his power is crucial to win this war. She tells him to stand with her and reminds him that she shares his Ninja Way. If he went back on his word now everyone would have suffered the consequences and his principles and hard work would all go to waste, all that he and everyone else stands for. Naruto is internally thinking about Neji’s words about Hinata, how she’s willing to die for him. Kurama steps in to help too and Naruto is coming back to his senses.
Tumblr media
Naruto compares her to his mom and dad and precious people who have sacrifed for him. People who he loves and has lost, people who share his ideals. Hinata is special to Naruto. He literally compares her to his parents and Jiraiya, and even Nagato and Itachi. People who have all gone to far lenghts to achieve something for the greater good even if they lose their lives.
Tumblr media
He stands up and grabs her hand, he then thanks her and says that his life isn’t his own anymore, because she has been by his side this whole time. Naruto acknowledges that without her he would have either become like Nagato or Obito or he wouldn’t be standing there on the battlefield at all.
Without her bringing him out of despair during the Proud Failure Speech, without a strong motivation to defeat Neji (his blood vow to her and her speech was his motivation to win) he would have most likely been defeated/killed by Neji and thus would have never had his battle with Gaara where he showed his true power and devotion to the village.
If she hadn’t jumped in on Pain, Naruto would have been captured and killed by the Bijuu Extraction. So in a darker way, Hinata saved him from despair once again.
Naruto is not only thanking her for bringing him out of despair now, but also for always being by his side and helping him in crucial moments. Naruto knows this. Naruto acknowledges that he wouldn’t have come this far without her.
Also holding hands in Japan is something that only romantic couples should be doing and acquaintices or friends should not be interacted with in this way. Naruto and Hinata were basically an unoffical couple at this point.
Hinata’s comment on Naruto’s hand is something people love to twist. What it really means is that Naruto is back. No longer despairing, his life is back. His Yang. Naruto is saved.
Tumblr media
Hand in hand with Hinata he explodes into power. His overflowing power and warmth makes her feel safe. Naruto’s energy and power is back and he’s ready fight once again, thanks to Hinata.
Tumblr media
Even Uchiha f*cking Madara can see that the moment Naruto and Hinata shared had an intense romantic undertone since he literally called her Naruto’s wife. This should prove that it wasn’t just ”ChAkRa TrAnSfEr” but an actual crucial moment for their romantic development for each other. Besides this wasn’t the first time Naruto held her hand.
Tumblr media
Some people say they aren’t close yet he reaches for her hand when he checks on her. She was already special to him since the Chunin Exams. Naruto was also the one who initiated both of the hand holds. He wasn’t forced to hold her hand yet he still did it because he wanted to (in the chunnin exams it was instinct, and that instinct was love).
Anyway that is all. Here are the other parts if wanna read them.

Naruto Manga Part 2
Part 11
Tumblr media
While Neji is unconsious, Hinata takes his place to scout the area around them. Shino tells her to not overextend and she responds that the war is about protecting Naruto and that failure is not an option. She has an interesting flashback of Naruto. We see his flabbergasted reaction after seeing Hinata and he then puts out a big smile. What’s interesting about this flashback is that it’s most likely before Pain’s invasion of Konoha because the building behind them seems to be intact.
Tumblr media
Just before Hinata gets attacked by the Zetsu clones, Naruto comes out of nowhere and protects her. He apologizes to her for ”running late”.
Tumblr media
He reassure her that everything’s alright now that he is here. He has a very proud smirk on his face. You can tell that he feels great about saving her.
Tumblr media
Hinata apologizes for everyone’s suspision of him and she then starts having doubts and starts feeling depressed, falling into an old self. She wants to protect Naruto so much, only to be protected instead. She begins to doubt. Naruto then does his deepest reading of emotions yet and senses her depression and comforts her by saying that she has saved him atleast twice now.
What were those two times she saved him? The Proud Failure Speech and Pain. Showing he remembers BOTH TIMES. The other times (as he says ”atleast” two times) could be referring to when she wanted to help him cheat in the exam and when she gave him some healing ointment. But still, this shows that he remembers both those times he thinks she saved him.
Which she did, if she hadn’t done that Proud Failure peptalk he wouldn’t have had the confident and motivation to fight Neji as he was scared out of his mind of fighting him. He most likely would have been killed as he was depressed beyond belief of fighting him and was really doubting himself. That’s why he told Hinata on the training grounds that his tough guy behaviour was an act and that he was in reality just really frustrated all the time. (Also foreshadowing their future relationship, being able to open up to her about something so personal).
Tumblr media
And of course if she hadn’t interfered against Pain, Naruto would have been taken by the Akatsuki and later been killed by the Bijuu extraction. (Also where was Sakura in all that? Since she knew he was being taken why didn’t she do anything? It means she didn’t care, Naruto deserves better than that).
Tumblr media
Naruto reassures her that he can see her depressed feelings through her eyes and he then tells her that she is strong. Naruto doesn’t even understand how romantic he makes himself sound (seeing emotions through eyes is defiantly something i would consider romantic. Also a paralell of Hinata being able to tell that he was the real Naruto by looking at his eyes). Everyone else seems to get the hint that Naruto likes Hinata and Neji even pairs them up as a couple later. It’s often so that people around you can tell you’re true feelings for someone while you are completly blind to them. This is the case for Naruto anyway. He also has a flashback of Hinata jumping in on Pain. He knows who really saved him that day.
Tumblr media
Hinata feels so confident after Naruto’s previous behaviour that she reveals that after the war ends she’ll be walking next to him, holding hands (which basically means she was gonna try to actually make a move on him. Since before that she didn’t actually try to pursue a romantic relationship with him. Also a foreshadowing to an event that will happen soon). Lets analyze this for a moment. Kishimoto spending time to remind us of Naruto and Hinata’s moments, and also forge new ones, remind us of her drive. If anyone was doubting how it would end, this is the point you really should have stopped. Actually, likely should have many chapters ago.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hinata asks if Naruto’s OK and he responds to her with a ”HELL YEAH”. Kiba comments on how he acts tough in front of Hinata. Remember that he saw what happened between them previously with the ”in you’re eyes” moment, so he now thinks that Naruto likes her. (Naruto hasn’t realised himself though, his obvious feelings for her).
Tumblr media
Naruto completly ignored everyone else when Hinata appeared. He only screams out her name. He is clearly very hypersensitive to her presence on the battlefield. Even though he’s acknowledged that she’s strong, he is still very protective of her. That’s nothing new, we saw how he reacted to her getting stabbed by Pain and her fight with Neji in the chunnin exams.

Naruto Manga Part 2
Part 10
Tumblr media
Sasuke has fallen into deep darkness and his hatred makes him stronger. He is not the same Sasuke Team 7 knew in Part 1. Sakura wants to kill Sasuke herself because she feels like the burden should be put on her shoulders, because she loves Sasuke. So she uses a sleeping gas on Lee, Kiba and Sai and tries to go kill Sasuke... and fails twice. The second time she had her knife right behind Sasuke’s back but she couldn’t bring herself to stab him. She shouldn’t even have been there the second time since Kakashi told her to heal Karin while he fought Sasuke. But she is so narcissistic and has to kill him herself which causes a lot of problems for Kakashi since he can’t protect her all the time too.
Tumblr media
Luckily for them Naruto saves her in the last second. His focus is not on her at all but on Sasuke as they make eye contact. It was expected of Naruto to save her since she’s his teammate and friend, and it’s not romantic in the least, not after that fake confession. Besides Naruto’s focus isn’t on her, it’s on Sasuke, just like it always has been.
Tumblr media
Naruto doesn’t even ask her if she’s alright and he ignores her thanking him. His focus is only on Sasuke, the person he wants to save from becoming evil and he ignores Sakura since the more important person is in front of him.
(It feels like Kishi didn’t care about Sakura at all in this arc, he was like ”fuck it, might aswell make Sakura completly detestable.” First she makes that fake confession and we all know how that went, then she puts her teammates to sleep and then she fails to kill Sasuke twice while crying and sobbing and acting like a self-centered bitch, and then she still just gets saved. I mean it’s like really? He doesn’t even try to make her likeable lol).
Tumblr media
We skip forward to here, when Naruto was summoned by the Mount Myoboku Toads. They talk about all the times Naruto used Kyuubi’s chakra. He mentions that when Orochimaru taunted him about Sasuke, he willingly let the Kyuubi take control over him.
But when Pain stabbed Hinata, he was so mad and filled with hatred, that his heart automatically connected with the Kyuubi’s will.
This does not only confirm that he only transformed because of Hinata (since he literally just said it himself that Hinata getting stabbed caused him to transform) but it also confirms Naruto’s feelings for Hinata. Seeing her get attacked made him so angry that he transformed without even thinking.
Hinata has always triggered very strong reactions to Naruto. From the blood vow (he was so mad at Neji that he promised on Hinata’s blood that he would defeat him for her)
to then admiting to her that she’s a person he really likes (when he actively tries his hardest to avoid showing people his true emotions)
And also thinking almost only on her when he tried to activate kyuubi’s chakra in his fight with Neji (which requires a large amount of heightend emotion to activate)
and then to almost completly transform into the Kyuubi just from seeing her get hurt.
Why is this you might ask? Well simple really, because Naruto has loved Hinata for years now, without REALIZING that he loved her. And even now he doesn’t realise it yet. He loves her so much that seeing her get attacked drove him to that level of rage.
It’s literally confirmed in the Manga that Naruto was in love with her BEFORE THE LAST.
Tumblr media
Naruto later goes to that fountain where he will learn from Killer Bee how to control the Tailed Beast inside of him. There he must first confront his true self deep within his heart, which is Dark Naruto. Naruto mentions that it’s been him (his dark self) and the Kyuubi all along who caused him to transform. Dark Naruto tells Naruto that they hated the villagers for putting him through so much torture and pain and that they cant trust anyone but themselves. Deep down in Naruto’s heart there was a hatred towards the villagers.
So what does this mean regarding some previous interactions between Naruto and Sakura? First of all when Naruto transformed into the four-tail he didn’t hesitate at all to attack her EVEN though he could avoid (even try to protect) hurting Hinata with MORE TAILS and a WEAKER SEAL.
Not only that but when Sakura mentioned she was just like the other villagers during her fake confession, Naruto got so angry that he later told her that he hated her.
The way she treated him in part 1 and in the academy (even in part 2 but not as much as back then) where she actively said that she hated him, physically abused him, degraded him and calls him stupid and an idiot all the time. She was literally representing the villagers hatred for Naruto.
Naruto also wants the villagers acknowledgment just like he wants Sakura’s too. But we learn here that a big part, a dark part of him hated the villagers. And then we see just how similar Sakura is to the villagers and then it kinda hits you. Deep down inside, Naruto HATES Sakura.
Tumblr media
Later when Naruto and the Kyuubi argue over if Sasuke can be saved or not, Naruto has a flashback of a time during the academy. Keep in mind that this is NARUTO’S flashback. ”You’ve known it since that day”.
Tumblr media
We see here that Naruto doesn’t even know who Sasuke and Sakura are at this point. All the Sasuke fan girls including Sakura and Ino cheer loudly for Sasuke and this annoys Naruto. Sakura even screams out loudly ”KICK HIS BUTT, SASUKE-KUN! HECK YEAH”. Notice that all the other fan girls only cheer for Sasuke while Sakura has to scream out to Sasuke to ”KICK HIS BUTT”. Keep in mind that this is Naruto’s memory so he remembers Sakura being a huge bitch to him specifically. It’s also shown right here that Naruto already had a rivalry towards Sasuke while for Sakura it was unknown (most likely that he doesn’t know her).
Tumblr media
Hinata was the only person to acknowledge him that day. And she did acknowledge him openly. Just quietly and not loudly. This is because of her crippling shyness and low self esteem thanks to her abusive clan. She was drowned out by all the other fan girls screming loudly for Sasuke.
But remember that this is Naruto’s flashback, which means that Naruto remembers on his own accord that Hinata was the very first person to acknowledge him. He heard her quietly but openly cheer for him even though she was drowned out by all the Sasuke fan girls. He was nowhere near her to actually hear it, yet he still remembers it since this is his own flashback. Since he remembers her cheering for him quietly yet openly, even though she was drowned out by the other Sasuke fan girls load screams, shows just how strong his feelings for her were. Even though it was deeply buried in his subconsiousness, he still remembered this.
Tumblr media
Iruka wasn’t actually the first person to acknowledge him that day, it wasn’t till chapter 1 before he actually acknowledged him. Before that he thought of him as the Nine Tails that killed his parents. Iruka even punched his head in this flashback. I’m just saying that he wasn’t actually the first to acknowledge him atleast that he knew of.
Tumblr media
Look at what Kurama said ”REMEMBER NOW”. This also confirms that this was Naruto’s flashback. That will be all for now, here are the other parts if you’re interested in reading them.

Naruto Manga Part 2
Part 9
*WARNING* if you like Sakura then you probably wont like this post. I won’t be holding back so if you like Sakura you have been warned.
Tumblr media
Sakura confesses to Naruto that ”she’s in love with him”. Naruto was shocked at first but he immediatly started to doubt her and his facial expression changed, turning into an annoyed frown. He asks her ”why” and ”if it’s some kind of joke”. So his ”crush” confessing her ”love” to him is a joke to him. He doesn’t even take his pointless ”feelings” seriously. Sakura points out all the ”reasons” she ”should love” him instead, like Sasuke being a criminal and a traitor rouge ninja. Even when she’s trying to lie and confess to Naruto she still has to bring Sasuke up, indirectly revealing that she still thinks of him and only him.
Tumblr media
Sakura tells Naruto to stop chasing after ”Sasuke-Kun” saying it like he only does it for that ”stupid promise” to her. (Once again it’s like everything revolves around her, like Naruto doesn’t have his own reasons for wanting to save Sasuke). Naruto reacts strongly to this since saving Sasuke was something he HAS to do. He thought Sakura thought so too since she loves Sasuke and seeing her say that he should stop makes him feel sligthly betrayed. It’s funny how Yamato the supposed ”NaruSaku shipper” reacts like this to SAKURA’S CONFESSION and everyone else seems annoyed or somewhat angry aswell, then you know something is seriously wrong, you see this NOBODY LIKES THIS FANON SHIP.
Tumblr media
Naruto then has a flashback of all the times Sakura cried/fangirled for Sasuke. She then starts to hug him and this is when things get a ”little” out of hand. She reveals that she ”finally sees him for who he really is”. That’s a fucking insult more than anything. She indirectly revealed that before he became a hero she only saw him as a ”stupid annoying idiot” and then that he’s ”always supported her”, for what? You forcing him to make that promise? By crying and begging for him to bring Sasuke back to YOU, even though he was gonna go get him back before you blessed him with you’re sobbing little *beutiful* (bitch) face. Before that he barely supported you, he couldn’t care less than to think that you’re just some object in his rivalry and not an actual person. In chapter 57 when he saw her covered in blood and bruises he didn’t even ask if she was alright or hurt. No, he ONLY asked about her f*cking hair even though she was COVERED IN BLOOD AND BRUISES. Also when she gave her reason about the hair (ignoring that he didn’t notice (or care) about her bruises) it didn’t look like he could give less shits at all. His ”crush” was pointless, useless, nonexistent, shallow, superfical and dangerously stupid. Sasuke and Ino’s reaction in that chapter to this should sum up NaruSaku as a whole honestly.
She reveals that the reasons she ”loves” him now is because he’s a hero and savior of the village, just like everyone else back home. She says she’s one among many. What she doesn’t realise is that Naruto had suffered immensily because of how the villagers treated him during his childhood. It was revealed that Naruto had a dark side who hated the villagers for putting him through all that pain and torture. That hatred didn’t vanish either since he says that the two villagers who suddenly treated him like a hero and who wanted his autograph made him feel angry and resentful. Why should they treat him like this now when they treated him so horribly before? That’s what he thought. So hearing Sakura say she’s ”one among many” of the villagers, the same villagers who only saw him as an ”annoying, idiot, monster brat” and who only saw him as a hero after he had defeated Pain, defiantly built up his hate and anger in this moment. What he was gonna tell her soon only confirms this. She then states that he’s grown from a ”prankster and a slacker” into a ”dependable man”. I mean she doesn’t even understand the deeper meaning as to why he was a prankster in the first place (and people think they are close?) and a slacker? This guy has trained harder than you ever had.
Sakura then goes on and on about how Sasuke (the person she actually loves and Naruto is more than aware of that) ”breaks her heart” and ”exists far away from her”. She seriously picks the exact wrong things to say to him. To add insult to injury, she then continues with her bullshit and that’s when Naruto snaps.
Tumblr media
He pushes her back from him with anger and tells her while looking her straight in the eyes that her joke isn’t funny and that she should stop f*cking lieing. (This is when she should have just revealed the truth).
Tumblr media
Naruto ANGRILY grips her shoulders, stares her straight in the eyes, and tells her easily, directly and with no hesitation that he HATES her.
NaruSaku has been deader than a deer with CWD since October 29, 2009. All of it dead, all of it rotting in the ground. Think about it, Kishi went out of his way to make this chapter JUST to kill this ship cause he hates it that much. He made Sakura list all the reasons she ”should love him” according to NS and made her look like a selfish,narcissistic bitch in the process. But that was something that was blatantly clear since part 1 and he wasn’t holding back this time.
Tumblr media
Even Sakura gets the impression that he hates her. If someone looked me in the eyes and gripped my shoulders angrily and told me that they ”hated people who lie to themselves” i’d think they hate me too. But still, even after this she can’t reveal the truth to him even though everyone knows she’s lieing through her ass and that she’s making herself look detestable. Naruto also asks her why she would come all the way out here ”just for that”. He seriously doesn’t give a shit about Sakura’s ”feelings” and this also states that he never cared much about his ”crush” either. Also if Sakura really cared about Naruto she should have just revealed the truth to him instead of underestimating him and treating him like an idiot with a stupid crush. That she thinks she can manipulate him like this only proves that she doesn’t respect him in the least. Also she already knows Hinata genuinely loves Naruto for who he is so why would she attempt to throw that away from them just because ”she has to be the one to break it up to him because she is the one who caused him the most pain”. So she decides to falsesly confess to him. And for what? So they are gonna live together with fake love? I’ll admit Sai did guilt trip her but she came up with this decisision herself. Talk about self centered.
Tumblr media
Sakura indirectly reveals the real reason she came out there. I think what Naruto is more hurt about in all this is that she doesn’t treat him with honesty and decides to lie to him instead. Sakura also seems a little offended that Naruto didn’t believe her and that he actually talked back for once.
Tumblr media
Naruto says that he knows how Sakura really is and that she’s just straining to make excuses. He knows she would never in a million years confess her ”love” to him and he doesn’t care about that either. Sakura states that Naruto doesn’t need to keep his promise to her. If she really understood Naruto she wouldn’t think that he’s chasing Sasuke like this because of some promise that is centered around her. But for his own personal reasons. He reveals that it never was about any promises and that he also understands Sasuke now and why he’s so obssesed with revenge. Why is this? Maybe because witnessing Hinata getting stabbed by Pain triggered the worst emotions he ever felt and made him almost transform into the Kyuubi. It made him understand what vengeance and revenge truly feels like.
Tumblr media
Before he could reveal the truth about Itachi (switching the topic like it wasn’t worth less than the shit on his shoe) he was stopped by Kakashi since they don’t know if the info is reliable enough to reveal. Naruto then tells her that even if he never made that promise to her it wouldn’t change a thing.
Tumblr media
Because he wants to save Sasuke himself. So he goes back on his word for the first time, something he always takes very seriously because it’s his ninja way, just to break his promise to her and rid himself of that burden. Even after all this Sakura looks more mad at Naruto than herself and when Kiba basically tries to save the last dignity she has she just stomps him on the f*cking foot and leaves without telling the truth. Possibly leaving Naruto with even more pain (also on Kiba’s foot) that she so ”wanted to get rid off”. And Naruto is more angry than hurt over all this. He really doesn’t give a shit about her or her ”feelings”.
Also no, Sakura would never ever genuinely love Naruto not after how often she punches him, degrades him, calls him ”an idiot/a fool/stupid”. Her unneeded physical and verbal violence, narcissism, self centered and selfish behaviours prove that at the end of the day, she always and only thinks about herself.
But yeah in conclusion, this was the death of NaruSaku. It’s completly illogical to believe that Naruto still had a ”crush” on her after this. I believe that it was at chapter 172 where he gave up on his ”crush”. All of this here is only the icying on the cake, or rather a beating on a dead corpse. Seriously Kishi absolutely destroyed NaruSaku here and there’s really no turning back after this. You’re in denial if you believe it could have still happen. Actually just from reading chapter 1 (where we learn about Naruto’s past and why he is the way he is) and chapter 3 (where we see just how badly Sakura treats him) should be enough for anyone without shipping googles to realise that NS is NOT gonna happen. Anyway that is all, here’s the other parts.

Naruto Manga Part 2
Part 8
Tumblr media
Naruto is seen returning to the village after his talk with Nagato. Naruto is exhausted and was about to fall over, but Kakashi catches him (let’s all appreciate that the first thing he did after coming back to life was to go look for his student). He pressed his cheeks and wrapped his arms around Kakashi. Also Kakashi is making a reference to when he carried Naruto on his back after their battle on the Valley of the End.
Tumblr media
Naruto returns to the village and the first thing he sees is all the villagers cheering for him. He has become a hero and saviour of the village and everyone acknowledges him as a hero. Naruto had achieved his dream of wanting everyone to acknowledge him (There’s a deeper meaning to why he even wants everyone to acknowledge him in the first place and it has to do with his past).
Tumblr media
Naruto is very suprised, he is not used to being treated this way by everyone after all. Notice how us as viewers are more happy than Naruto himself (not that he isn’t happy of course) I’ll get more into why when we come to the Dark Naruto part.
Tumblr media
*Sakura rant* Why is the first thing Sakura does after Naruto saved her village is to punch him in the fucking head?! Jesus Christ it’s like Kishi WANTS her to be hated. Look at Naruto’s face in the bottom right picture, it’s like he thinks ”What the hell have i done now?!”. Sakura then hugs him because she’s grateful that Naruto saved the village (way to show you’re gratefulness earlier you lousy bitch).*Sakura rant over*
Tumblr media
Notice how Hinata smiles here. She doesn’t feel threatened at all by their supposed ”romantic relationship” but she rather sees them as a brother and sister type relationship (like most people). Actually their relationship is almost like Harry and Hermione. Both scolding and caring for each other as good FRIENDS. Also notice how Naruto didn’t hug her back after a physically, mentally and emotionally draining battle while he pressed his cheeks and put his arms tightly around Kakashi. Why is this? Well maybe it’s because they aren’t so close after all.
Tumblr media
Naruto doesn’t notice when Sakura is sad over her master’s near verge of death. He knows how it feels like to lose his master but he cant notice her feelings of inadequancy and her sadness? He couldn’t notice when she was depressed over her inferiority complex when drafting for the Chunnin Exams either (to much in his own fantasy world of being acknowledged and beating Sasuke lol) he only noticed when it concerned Sasuke. Imaging only noticing when someones depressed because of another person you’re both obssesed over.
Tumblr media
When Hinata was sad he comforted her by saying she saved him more than twice and that she was strong. He also noticed her sadness through her eyes.
Tumblr media
Notice how when Tazuna asked if there was a love triangle going on, Naruto happily denied it (confirming that there never really was anything serious going on and also that he didn’t have any ”romantic feelings” at all at this point, since he seemed so carefree about it) Naruto was maturing and just acting like a good friend here and Sakura was thankful for that. (They were honestly acting just fine here so why did Sakura decide to make that fake confession later? She underestimates Naruto).
Tumblr media
Naruto now reveals he knows what revenge truly feels like. After his fight with Pain he now understands why Sasuke was so obssesed with revenge. Why is this? Maybe because witnessing Hinata getting stabbed triggered the worst emotions he’d ever felt and he almost transformed into the Nine Tailed Demon Fox because he hated Pain and wanted revenge on him. Tell me how Hinata didn’t contribute to the main story when she was a reason why Naruto could understand Sasuke in the first place.
A topic that must be touched upon now unfortunately is:
Why didn’t Naruto talk to Hinata after the Pain arc? Well in universe, we have to consider that Naruto has never in his life experienced real romantic love before. It’s something that’s completly foreign to him. Sometimes when affection is directed towards yourself, it is hard to realise what it really means. Mentally abused people like Naruto is no exception, someone that never experienced parental love, how are we supposed to expect that he would understand romantic love aswell? Something that is way more complex than that too.
Also let’s be real here considering what i’ve just said how would Naruto be able to recognize what Hinata really meant when he was pinned downed by rods, about to be taken and his greatest enemy being right in front of him in a destroyed Konoha crater. It all probably happend in a blink of an eye and before he knew it he was already transformed into the six-tails. The tension was really high and Naruto was already in emotional turmoil and despair, there were simply too much happening at the same time for him to comprehend it all.
Later everyone acknowledged him as a Hero and suddenly everyone was paying him attention and he became very busy aswell. Pressing matters in the shinobi world were happening immediatly after his return, like Sasuke being ordered to be disposed of. Other responsibilities were being placed on him so in context he really didn’t have time to think about what her confession really meant and what it made him feel, he not only didn’t have any help from others to understand it but other things were happening so quickly too.
Also the reason Kishi didn’t show Naruto thanking Hinata was because Kishimoto felt awkward about writing romance. He’d rather wait till later and make it more indirect than write actual lovey dovey stuff, and i dont blame him completely. Its a fighting manga after all, and not a romance (altough i wouldn’t say he’s bad with romance as he understands the context) He probably didn’t plan to explain when or how they got together at this point in time, he was just gonna do it, as that was what he always wanted since part 1. Had Naruto accepted her feelings right there and then it would have moved away from the main topic of the story, which is saving Sasuke.
His actions later in chapter 559, 615 and 677 makes his answer to her confession an indirect YES. He was already in love with Hinata subconsiously. You might believe that it happend after this arc but it was actually implied in Naruto’s theme song from The Last. ”He now understood the meaning of that warmth” and ”her overflowing kindness”. Judging by this Naruto could have loved her as early as chapter 77 when he told her from the direct translation: ”Thank you, you’re far too kind Hinata!”. It was probably because of her kindness but also the origin of how Hinata fell for Naruto was out of admiration and respect, the same reasons Naruto started feeling something for her too in the Chunnin Exams.
Tumblr media
Sai falsely states that Naruto is going this far to save Sasuke because of unrequited feelings for Sakura and because of that promise (that he admits he didn’t know anything about, also when Sai asked Naruto about how he felt about her he said ”how can i? Cant even keep my promises.” Seems to me that he was more depressed over not getting Sasuke back and the only reason he haven’t given up on Sakura completly is because he wants to keep his word because that’s his ninja way. He actually let his ”crush” go after that hospital hug where he saw Sasuke’s tender face and accepted that Sakura loved Sasuke. He realised subconsiously that what he was feeling before was a pointless childish crush.)
Sai accuses Sakura of causing Naruto alot of pain too because of that promise, and that’s true. Promise of a life time more like Burden of a life time. Anyways Sakura cries because of guilt and decides that the only way to make Naruto stop chasing after Sasuke is to falsely confess to him like the narcissistic *nice lady* that she is. Next time i’ll be going over the fake confession. Here’s the other parts if you wanna check them out.

Naruto Manga Part 2
Part 7
Tumblr media
Naruto has transformed into the Six-Tails with the worst emotions he ever felt after witnessing Hinata getting stabbed by Pain. The seal reactivates as he grumbles in anger and is seen looking at Hinata before doing his next move. (Hinata is the ONLY reason he even transformed in the first place, as he didn’t transform when the old frog died in front of his eyes or when he heard that Kakashi died. This is also confirmed in chapter 490).
Tumblr media
He takes the seal in his fist and crushes it before he goes to attack Pain. But notice how he isn’t charging right at him, but he moves to the side instead.
Tumblr media
He circled away from her body so that she wouldn’t be caught in the attack.
Tumblr media
He then looks at her (more clearly now) and is seen getting more enraged and then fires a tailed beast bomb at Pain.
He outright bitch-slapped Sakura when he was only in four tailed mode and with a stronger seal, but here we can see load and clear that Naruto deliberately didn’t attack Hinata’s body, he actually tries to protect her and is also seen getting vividly more angry as he looks at her body. BUT HE HAD SIX TAILS AND NO SEAL AT ALL. Its true love, no one has ever given him this amount of control when transformed let alone six f*cking tails of it. And this brings me to another topic.
Tumblr media
This is Naruto’s reaction to seeing Sakura being in danger of death. ”What are we supposed to do?”. If Naruto ”loved” her he wouldn’t hesitate and say what are ”we” supposed to do, if he ”loved” her he would have activated kyuubi’s chakra out off pure anger and had no hesitation in attacking Gaara. But that’s not the case at all. His fear of Gaara is clearly superior over his concern for Sakura. When Gaara threatened to crush Sakura he hesitated and then screamed ”DAMMIT” before attacking Gaara and then being pathetically defeated.
It was SASUKE who had to TELL HIM to rescue her and then do his speech about his precious comrades before he finally decided to fight for real. So another person had to tell him to rescue someone he ”loved” because he was to much of a coward to do it himself. If Sasuke hadn’t been there Naruto would have either ran away abandoning Sakura or he would have been killed along with Sakura. If this doesn’t prove that Naruto only had a pointless, shallow ”crush” on her i dont know what does.
This right here proves that Naruto wouldn’t transform for Sakura, also if he did care about her as much as the NaruSaku’s like to say then why didn’t he activate kyuubi’s chakra like he did when Sasuke was in great danger on the Great Naruto Bridge? He was more angry towards Neji after his provocations since he immediatly charged at him when it concerned Hinata, but here he hesitated and forced himself to attack Gaara. He had a certain protective instinct when it concerned Hinata (which is also confirmed as stated above with the six-tails) but he had absolutely zero instincts at all for Sakura. Also which stabbing made him react with SIX-TAILS and with the worst emotions he ever felt, and which made him barely react at all? The point of this is to debunk claims that Naruto would transform for Sakura.
Tumblr media
This panel here also confirms that Naruto only transformed because of Hinata. Shikamaru also says ”that triggered it, huh”. He didn’t seem too suprised, makes you wonder if he saw something going on between them of panel perhaps?
Tumblr media
Naruto doesn’t know what to do anymore. He doesn’t know anything, he doesn’t have an answer for anything. He wants an answer on how to face all this hate. The Nine Tailed Demon Fox tells him to destroy everything that causes him suffering. Naruto was about to go on a rampage and destroy everything that made him suffer, well except Hinata who he could avoid hurting even when possesed by a demon full of hate.
Tumblr media
Naruto had transformed into eight tails. He almost completly resembeled the Kyuubi now, only missing the fur. Naruto is seen walking towards the seal. Naruto had reached such a level of HATRED that he willingly lets himself go. He hates Pain so much that he’s willing to destroy himself just to kill Pain. Remember how the Uchiha clan are said to be driven by love and how that turns into hate and gives them more power. Pain has just talked about how love leads to hate and suffering. Hinata declared her love to Naruto, and seeing her get stabbed made him sync up with the Nine Tailed Demon Fox, a being filled with immense hatred. Is there really any doubt that he loved her? Just as Hinata was ready to sacrifice herself out of love, Naruto was willing to sacrife himself too.
Tumblr media
Because of how the seal is designed, Naruto is rescued from the Fox by his Father and he returns to normal after their talk. Naruto is informed by Katsuyu that he had caused all the destruction around them after he had transformed. Naruto’s first thought and worry is about Hinata (reminding us why he even transformed like that in the first place). He clutches his shirt near his heart while saying ”did i destroy Hinata or any of the other villagers”. Hinata is the only one he lists by name and everyone else is just the ”villagers”. When he finds out that she’s alive he clutches his shirt tighter around his heart. He clearly cares about her a whole lot. I wonder if Naruto would have turned evil if she turned out to be dead. Considering that he was about to transform into a walking ball of hatred after her ”death” it wouldn’t seem to far fetched would it?
Tumblr media
Naruto cries tears of relief and thanks God that she’s alive and that she wasn’t hurt in the rampage. Naruto clutching his shirt near the area of his heart shows that she had a special place in his heart. Hinata is also seen simultaneously thinking about him too and also thanking God that he’s alright. Nice pararell Kishi.
That will be all for now, here are the other parts if you wanna read them.

Its also mentioned in some novel that Naruto and Hinata were very close throughout the blank period until The Last to the point that other characters notice. Its not because something is not shown in every detail that never happened its just something open to the reader's imagination that can willingly conclude the obvious. There are many things in Naruto that were implied. Even friendships that yields a lot of fanart, but only with NaruHina is there this unwillingness to understand.
Yeah, it’s like if it’s not seen on screen then it never happend kinda mindset people have. Like after Naruto and Sasuke fought in part 1. It was implied that atleast 2 months have passed or something like that. Do they think that Naruto didn’t do anything during that time? It’s very likely that he went on some of panel missions with other teams, kind off like in the part 1 fillers. That’s why i don’t think there even that bad, since its essentially just adds more of what people want to see that could be lacking in the main story (like NH to some people). Yet they still complain even if they have what they want right there in the fillers, but wait it’s filler so its automatically trash. It’s just funny to me.

As much as I love NaruHina the one thing that really bother me is why didn’t Naruto talk to Hinata when she risk her own life from pain, Naruto could at least thank her or something. But it’s he completely forgets about witch really bothers me.
Well you could say that its because Kishimoto feels awkward about writing romance. But also Naruto isn’t a romance, its a fighting manga. If Naruto had accepted her feelings right there and then it would of moved away from the main topic of the story, which is saving Sasuke. Also you have to take into consideration that Naruto has never in his life experienced real romantic love before. He was abused his whole childhood and he doesn’t have anyone to tell him about these things. (Naruto isn’t the smartest person either).
But his actions in chapter 559 (where he had a flashback of Hinata jumping in on Pain, so he does remember), 615 and 677 would indirectly make his answer to her confession a YES. The Last could have been set 2 MONTHS after the war. Instead of 2 years after the war and it would have been just as expected. But it all really came down to Kishi not knowing how deal with the situation until later.

Naruto Manga Part 2
Part 6
Tumblr media
Naruto comes back to the village after his Sage Training. He finds out that Pain has been looking for him and he has destroyed the village. Naruto is furious over what he has done and prepares to fight him, as he is the only one strong enough (with the help of Sage Mode). He has surpassed his previous generations, and is ready for his toughest battle yet. (I’ll wont be going over the battle as that’s not within the topic but i must say that it’s pretty frickin awesome).
Tumblr media
As strong as he has become though, Pain is still too much for him and he is eventually defeated and pinned down by Pain. Naruto doesn’t have an answer to Pain’s question of how to achieve world peace. Naruto was losing hope, he was defeated and pinned down. He was about to give up and let Pain take him. Despair and hopelessness hits him as he didn’t have a better answer to Pain’s way of achieving peace. He had no hope of anyone going to save him, he had told them to not interfare in the battle. He was just about to be taken, but then......
Tumblr media
Hinata jumps in attempting to save him. Naruto is in shock, he knows Pain is to much for anyone in the village to handle. Hinata declares that she wont let him lay another finger on Naruto. She had to hide behind a pole to talk to him in part 1 yet still managed to show that she understood him and bring him out of despair. But now she declares to the strongest enemy we have seen so far to not lay a finger on Naruto. She knows Pain is too strong for her, so she essentially prepares her final words to Naruto. Her statement about being selfish should NOT be taking literally, since it’s basically the most selfless act someone could do. What it really means is that she isn’t gonna run away anymore and let things remain hopeless, that during this moment she has become what she always wanted to be. Brave and strong and to never give up even if she keeps failing and things seems pointless and despairing. That’s why she’s not afraid to die, because she loves Naruto, but deeper than that, because at this moment she become what she always wanted to be.
Tumblr media
Hinata starts her speech. Notice how Kishimoto zoomed in on Naruto’s eyes. Especially during the line ”i wanted to be with you”. Naruto’s eyes were shining and wide eyed. He treasured those words. Her speech touched him deeply, his reaction soon confirms this. Even Pain was paying attention (he knew some serious shit was going on).
Tumblr media
Naruto is speechless. No one has ever said anything like this to him before. His whole life has been filled with nothing but hate and discrimination towards him. His whole life people have said ”dont go near him” ”you monster get away from me” ”i hate you, go die”. He was completly mesmerised even though he didn’t completly understand it. But deep down in his heart he did, and a reason why his amazement turned into complete and blind rage. Before i continue i just want to point something out here.
Tumblr media
(Ignore the watermark lol)
Who were the ONLY ones that knew Naruto couldn’t fight Pain alone? His future MENTOR and his future WIFE. Just an interesting detail.
Tumblr media
Hinata goes in to attack Pain. She reveals her own jutsu the Juho Soshiken. Pain uses a powerful Shinra Tensei and knocks her to the ground. Naruto witnessing all this screams out to Pain to stop just after he takes out his rod. Naruto’s despair is turning into rage. He wants to protect her so much, but he cant. He has ever since the chunnin exams during her fight with Neji. (Just an interesting detail that many people miss. The Juho Soshiken can shut down the opponents whole chakra network. This means that they cant use any ninjutsu if they get hit by hit. Pain could have just stabbed her like Madara easily did to Sakura, but he decided to use a powerful jutsu that has a drawback. This means that he felt threatened enough by her jutsu to use one of his most powerful jutsus. Pain actually felt more threatened by Hinata than Madara felt thretened by Sakura)
Tumblr media
Pain compares Hinata’s death to how his loved ones were killed right before his eyes. His line ”Love breeds sacrifice, which breeds hatred” is actually referring to Hinata���s love for Naruto and Naruto’s love for her. Hinata’s sacrife (love) and Naruto’s hatred (love). Pain assumed that Hinata was the girl he loved and that his rage and hatred is responding to it. (He is right, he loved her subconsiously probably for years now, Pain is also a NaruHina shipper confirmed lol).
This was Naruto’s reaction to her death/stabbing.
Tumblr media
Worst emotions he’d ever felt.
Written by Kishimoto himself. This is actually incredible when you consider what Naruto must have been through during his whole childhood.
I want to discuss something interesting here. To even achieve such a level of kyuubi rage, an incredible amount of negative emotions must be achieved which should not be underestimated. This is actually not the first time Naruto has triggered the kyuubi for Hinata (obviously not to this degree). During Neji’s mental attack on Hinata, Naruto was so enraged and angry that he was shaking and the kyuubi’s lips were displaying. He completly understood her situation as he also wanted to change himself. But seeing such a nice girl like Hinata (who at this point wanted to help him cheat to pass the test and gave him some healing ointment) being treated this way triggered a part of the kyuubi while he was trying to control his anger.
The second time was during his fight with Neji. While he was trying to summon kyuubi’s chakra he thought of Hinata (probably unknowingly) and his promise to her, and wishing for her to be watching him. My point is that Kishi had already established in part 1 that Hinata triggers very strong emotions to Naruto.
Also look at this cover for the Naruto Manga Volume 9:
Tumblr media
Six scrolls and six tails. Was Kishimoto foreshadowing this moment? Or is it just a coincidence? Regardless really interesting stuff. Anyways that is all for now, here are the previous parts.
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 7
