Sasuke or Naruto would be dead in part 1..

just saying.
Team 7 = elite team of their age group, all the best 3 of that age group are in team 7 . taking one out is just degrading it, and which then won't be good.
Idk why people b*tch and moan about the whole sasuke thing.. its actually pretty nice to avoid the typical cliche.. and have a reasonable woman who does love a criminal or someone who is against the good guy.. but supports the good guy himself. And will willing kill her love for the main character..
So no Hinata won't be a better heroine.
