That happened to keep pairing fans invested otherwise NS fans would have dropped the series then and there.And Hinata was herself smiling at the hug so she didnt find it bothersome at all
Note that he did not treat her like shit.Check out the famous handhold and when he rescues her from Zetsus.
Yes and thats why she gets bashed.She never truly moved on to a person who was nicer to her.
He wasnt trolling her.He just didnt see her that way till the movie.And the practical reason as I said was just to keep fans invested into the series
He has done this with Naruto even when the manga was 9 chapters away from the ending and he couldnt name the girl.
How many times should I say that
1.Naruto at least treated Hinata good in all their interactions.Sasuke has put down Sakura many many times in contrast
2.Hinata and Sakura are meant to be in ever lasting love with their respective love interests.Hence why both of them are called pairing fodders
Therefore even if Naruto ignores Hinata for 7 years straight she would still be in love.Sakura would also keep loving Sasuke even if he kills her parents
Thats how it is
No mates, sakura was honest the whole time who she liked unlike naruto ( if ur saying it was invested to keep the pairing in than ur wrong cause it was true from day one sakura had no interest in naruto)
Sakura beatung up naruto is only for comedic, she truly cares for him, just didnt love him, thats unfIair to ask female to love the nicer guy? That just forcing it on her, she likes sasuke, yes sasuke is shithole to her, but that mean she has to move on with nicer guy, she could simply refused sasuke, I mean u cant help u love, sakura didnt love naruto nor should she be forced to love him,
Naruto did hinata like shit (just in a male way) he wont punch her,
But he cled weak,
He called her weirdo
He ignored her confession
He right in front hinata calls sakura his gf to his father (I know it was joke u dont do thst in front of female that loves u?)
I think naruto got served pergectly right sakura confessed right in front of him to his best friend,
See what I mean both naruto and sakura have no respect for the ppl that care about them deeply
