The Last Naruto Movie says otherwise and that's canon too and completely justifies Hinata and Naruto pairing, if anything I'd say its Sasuke and Sakura pairing that's forced but I am glad it happened cuz Naruto deserves better than Sakura.
Naruto had a crush on Sakura once sure and he kept trying to get Sakura's attention but he was never serious about it and after part 1 when Sasuke left, his interest in Sakura also strted to wane off to point where he only saw her as a good friend and nothing more.
this. I never shipped Narusaku, i don't think sakura and naruto match. I'm not a fan of naruhina, but i think they make a better couple after all.
That filler movie is something I don't care about. Show me how that pairing makes sense in the manga. I'll wait.
So, you are showing me Sakura's dialogue? Okay.
the movie is not a filler, but sometimes i would like it to be, because how naruto got with Hinata was no sense. It could be developed in another way. I mean the girl need to pratically kill herself, say that love him, be on his side on the war, and even so the guy coudn't understand that she loved him?
I see no problem with him noticing her and reciprocating her feelings later, realistic we rarely marry our childhood crush cause they most of the time became losers and eveybody change. But the way the movie portrayed "oh he always loved her but didn't realized" was really forced. I don't think he loved sakura besides having a crush on her, but he barely noticed Hinata (probably because she was too shy to speak a mere word on the entire manga). If someone told me he was always in love with shikamaru, would makes more sense, honestly.
But what is done is done.
Fanfiction? Did you even watch the movie?
Naruto loved her but realized that she still loved sasuke, he saw through her deception. Just because he refused to accept her obviously fake confession doesn't mean he didn't have feelings for her(Naruto wanted her to be happy). Naruto in shippuden manga was not shown to have any romantic interest in hinata till the movie I mentioned. If you are all about evidence where is your proof that Naruto loved hinata in shippuden? Present it if you are truthful.
I don't care for the pairings but this is what was portrayed.
I never said i liked hinata or that Naruto loved her in the manga, stop thinking in mechanical mode. I find Ian Somerhalder hot, and I would happily have *** with him, but i know he don't like me, he doesn't even know i exist. That said, it doesn't mean that i'm love with him, also, if i were serious about him, i would never talk about it so lightly.
Naruto didn't even understand what meant be in love, he found that love a girl was the same as liking ramen or liking to play vide game. That is the depth of his feelings for Sakura. He liked to tease her the same way Jiraiya and Tsunade tease each other, and is just it. Sakura never loved Naruto, and Naruto never loved Sakura and sasuke never loved sakura.
If he
loved sakura, he would be down in the fake confession, would care more about her being obsessed with sasuke, and would never move on so easily from her when he realised another pretty girl was in love with him.
Have you ever been in love to understand how it work? what is so hard that you can't understand?
