I am simply asking what are the best written and truly geniune relationships in the manga in you opinion.
To me; these are on top:

Gai and Lee:

They have something truly real going on between each other, the reasoing of "why" they are close is not even a question because their relationship is progressed and portrayted very well.

They have a good showcase of a parent/child love. We can see the concerns, teachings, decisions and break downs of their relationship and not a panel wasted in this including comedic relieves. They get together like how a parent and child does, a sense of "need" in a side's case. Lee needed someone to believe in himself and Gai wanted to believe in someone. He believes Lee like a parent does and does not lose faith in his "son" no matter what because of his efforts. Lee looks up to him as a father and master, also appreceates his acknowledgement. Gai teaching what he knows to Lee shows how a parent pours his/her life and hopes to his/her own child.

Their showcase of parent and child/master/son relationship seems bot not perfect and the most "pure" one in the series.

Ame orphans:

They were 3 kids who get orphaned, need to grow up early and accomplished it together, both instinct of survival and needing someone brought them together. The way their ideals and hopes passed down to each other, the resolve poured down to one when the one of them goes down shows a shared ideal and genuine friendship.

I would say and not in any particular order:

1) Naruto and Sasuke
2) Ame orphans
3) Gai and Kakashi

naruto and sasuke, neji/hinata ame orphans

Neji and Hinata?
Meh i gues...
Neji was referring her with an honorific of -sama, something used for people who are superior, it felt like there were things still not genuine in their relationship.

They are better than most rival relationships in the manga (and most enjoyable tag team to watch), but we know little to nothing regarding to relationship progress im past, they are still up there for me along with few others.

Ame Orphans are the best written bonds/friendship/love/loyal team in the series IMO.

Then comes : Kakashi/Gai . Lee/Gai . J-man/Naruto. InoShikaCho. Asuma/Shikamaru. Tsunade/Naruto(i like their interactions)

Naruto/Sauske or Team 7 for that matter are forced & fake IMO , one of the worst wannabe bonds in the series .

1- Team gai

i dont know about tenten but neji and lee had amazing rival bond and gai x lee no need to say)

2- Ame orphan

I cried at the scene when konan was dying before she die she stick the red paper . :T_T:





3-sasuke and sakura : simply the reason i watched naruto and the reason i am still watching .

I love how sasuke scolded sakura and taught her when she is wrong .

I also love when he saw her down and tried to cheer her up (chapter: sakura desperation)

I loved their bond For about 10 freaking years

It was painful after sasuke left konoha

And when he became the enemy ..

But now i am happy he is on konoha side.

Naruto and Sasuke.

Legit from the start :cool:

Team 7 was amazing. They always put their differences aside when push came to shove, just like any brother or sister would. They even inspired other people to put their lives on the line for them.

I love how Sasuke left Sakura out in the night outside and later attempted to kill her when she was trying the same action on him.

Sasuke and Naruto's bond sucks and has always been one-sided. Sasuke never liked Naruto and Sakura. The only time he even saved them was out of obligation as a team mate or Team Mate ethics. I feel sorry for Sasuke that these two are always shoving their love down his throat. He doesn't need them - back the heck off!

Best ones -

- Itachi and Sasuke - When they were kids only. Itachi is a douche otherwise.

- Nagato, Konan, and Yahiko - Unbeatable.

- Madara and Izuna.

- Gai and Lee.
