SasuSaku is one of the only unforced pairings in this manga

[Kakooli]

If there was one pairing (Temari and Shikamaru aside) that didn't feel like it was just shoehorned into the epilogue/the last it was Sasuke and Sakura. They have their moments throughout the series. At least there was development (on both sides) in their relationship.

Sasuke, knowing Sakura is feeling unconfident about the chunin exam, tries to comfort her with praise. Something that's definitely out of character for someone like him.

Sasuke breaks Zaku's arm because he hurt Sakura.

Sasuke forcibly withdraws the cursed seal because of Sakura's concern. At this moment, Sakura meant more to him than power and thus his goal.

By telling Naruto to escape with Sakura after she's released, Sasuke basically prioritized her life over his own.

Sakura is the first person Sasuke regards as "dear to him" in the manga. This means a lot, coming from such a stoic guy.

Then we have Sasuke expressing genuine gratitude towards Sakura. Something which again, is out of character for him. But Sakura is special.

Throw in a bunch of hugs

And you'd realize that Sasuke and Sakura is a more developed pairing in this manga than any other by far.

Meanwhile, NaruHina moments include one-sided moments of affection on Hinata's part. Naruto's true feelings towards her are shown below

The only opinion Naruto can muster up of Hinata is that she's "weird".

Yet everyone in Konoha seems to be aware of his feelings towards Sakura:

When you consider that touching hands aside during the war arc (and let's remember that Naruto touch hands with the entire alliance so unless he's a bisexual hoe then that's irrelevant in terms of shipping) NaruHina has been completely one-sided was never fully-fleshed out in the manga, Unlike Sasuke and Sakura's relationship.

:devil:

It is forced but it's nothing to argue about seriously, the paring is perplexing.

 

[Jokule67]

Geez really? The pairing is forced get over it you typing too much.

 

[Itachi Edo]

No, it's forced, but to Kishi's credit, there was enough there that it didn't require a movie rewriting part of Sasuke's childhood and shoving those awkward silent moments down our throats to make it justifiable.

 

[wanderingcactus]

i see nothing more forced than you saying that their pairing is not forced...

 

[Venomous Cobra]

True because it is not established on an affectionate or romantic bond, rather sasukes's own sense of guilt and sakura's desperation

 

[Jokule67]

^^^^I know right lol kishi does suck at romance big time

 

[UltraPain]

And this kids, is what you call denial.

SS is the most forced/worst pairing in NV.
Sasuke and Karin would make much more sense, despite him stabbing her once.

Ps : Sai has no idea wtf he's talking about. He's the worst possible example you can use to justify Naruto loving Sakura, which is fanfic at best. He only considers her a very close friend, nothing more nothing less. He's never loved her.

NH on the other hand is one of the most sensible pairings in NV.

 

[V h o]

There's a pairing thread for this.

Ot: Part one set up the pairing nicely but part 2 pooped on it

-Husband has gone on record saying he thinks his wife is "plain" when it comes to looks.
-Husband initially was attracted to/loved another a girl (basically the girl of his dreams) but lost him to some cocky bad boy.
-Husband was totally indifferent to his wife for the entire manga.

So you're saying that "the most sensible relationship" in the manga (basically the one most reflective of real-life relationships) is the one where one party settled for less than he hoped for (in terms of looks and personality), lost his dream girl to a bad boy. Basically a loveless marriage built on a solid foundation of indifference and familiarity with one another. You know, when you put it like that...

 

[Warlocks]

The pairing is forced

 

[lndra]

The majority of the relationships are forced. If you think SS isn't, then you're crazy.

 

[Guitar Hero]

Lol no its forced trash get real. Worse pairing in this manga, next time use the sticky.

He only likes her, because they shared something in common. Which is acknowledgement.

Hinata>Sakura in both looks and personality. She even has more things in common with Naruto's mom than Sakura.
Face it, she is the ideal girl/wife in NV.

Forced or unforced, I just don't understand people who say Sasuke didn't care about Sakura because he tried to kill her a few times.

Sasuke tried to kill those closest to him a good number of times, and he even states such many times. They get that Sasuke tries to kill Naruto because they're best friends, but they don't get that Sasuke tries to kill Sakura because he also has a relationship with her? Hypocritical.

Denials not just a river in Egypt

If you bothered to click on the spoilers, you'd know the parts in bold were supported with scans. I won't repeat myself.

Everything else you said is your opinion and the part in bold is you implying Naruto's into incest. Alright, he did say his mom was a "babe" but damn, I thought you'd be more protective of your fave.

This type of logic isn't beyond the NARUHINA FAPS.
