Ah, the typical NaruHina excuse for chapter 631. Lol
1. Sakura actually isn't his girlfriend so he's not going to straight out say "yes". That's why he said more or less, meaning he hadn't got Sakura's approval yet.
2. She didn't deny it at all. Her reason for headbutting him was because, "he was wasting energy". She could of choose to say "no way" or "you wish" which she normally would of said. But she didn't.
1) Minato, just like Sai, Yamato, Konohamaru & Gamikichi, doesn’t know anything about Sakura, her love for Sasuke, or Naruto’s recent actions with Hinata. Nor does he know of what Hinata did for Naruto. I’m sure any father would prefer a protective wife than an abusivw wife.
2) Ounce again, NaruSaku is made to be a joke. Have you noticed this? All NS moments always end up either revolving around Sasuke or Sakura yelling/hitting Naruto. Now compare that to NH & SS, who’s moments are mostly always serious and touching.
3)What exactly changed here? Nothing at all.
If we look at the war, both NH & SS have different stands thanks to the characters in the pairings changing.
Hinata is more confident.
Sasuke isn’t evil anymore.
Naruto has acknowledged Hinata.
This didn’t, at all, change Naruto’s and Sakura’s relation.
4) Sakura still loves Sasuke.
5) Hinata was put there RIGHT AFTER that scene, in her own panel, just like in the infamus NaruSaku hug of 450. No jealousy or sadness. She doesn’t think “Whatever’s best for you, I’ll be ahppy, Naruto” or something like that. Why? Because that wasn’t romance. And Hinata's been shown to be able to read Naruto's thoughts
6) Minato comparing Sakura to Kushina doesn’t mean anything. Firstly, if NS is using to support the “Find some one like your mother” argument, keep in mind whilst Sakura physically resembles Kushin,. Hinata has things in common with Kushina too, physically & other sort of things. Such as long hair, non-flat chest, born to a great clan, kidnapped by Kumo for their powers, willing to die for Naruto etc
7) If the argument is being used as NS=MK. Well, now is when I lol my a$$ off. Why?
Simply put, Jiriaya, Kushina & Tsunade compared Naruto to his mom, and Minato compared Sakura to Kushina too. So NS doesn’t = MK, it = KK (KushinaXKushina). NaruHina, on the other hand, has a ”Minato”, that being Hinata.
8)Sakura’s reaction to Sasuke is more than enough to show she still loves him. That one face > Minato’s joke.
9) Girlfriend & Girl Friend, it’s actually the same in japanese. That’s why Naruto was confused. And what did he say afterwards “more or less/ if you’re splitting hairs” this means he was saying she was his female friend, or that they were close and loved each other in a platonic way
this is the 5th stranger to think that Naruto & Sakura are an Item.
The point of that, to me, seems like Kishi is poking fun at the Main X Main ideology. Think about it. If a STRANGER was introduced to a fictional series, they’ll almost always assume the main guy & girl are an item.
This is the same case as NaruSaku.
Minato saying take care of my son could and couldn’t imply that he’s “giving Naruto away” but then again, it’s not Minato’s business who Naruto wants.
To add to all this, Minato has yet to meet Hinata, whom, as we all know, has been there for Naruto multiple times and truly loves him. Sakura, on the other hand, STILL LOVES SASUKE. I can’t emphasis this enough.
Still even IF Sakura doesn’t love Sasuke, she doesn’t love Naruto romantically at all. That’s kinda why she HIT Naruto when she was called his girlfriend.
One final thing: Minato, Konohamaru, Gamikichi, Yamato & Sai all commented on the NS relation when they first met Naruto &/or Sakura, and hardly knew shit about them.
so 5 strangers being “pro” NaruSaku.
And then, for Naruhina, there’s Kiba & Neji. Kiba & Neji were there during the POAL, The Failfession (Kiba only), & then the whole “in your eyes” thing.
So these two have witnessed some pretty important moments involving pairings. adding to that, they also know Naruto & Hinata on a personal level, these two who have supported NH ACTUALLY KNOW Naruto & Hinata.
