I actually agree. I have said so myself in the past many times. But you know that would break the love traingle Kishi was trying to go with. Also making pairings a bit obvious. Sasuke got the importance as a character by having both Naruto and Sakura caring for him etc.
But on the bright side we would get many interactions with NaruHina that would lead to something than ending in nothing. This movie showed how great this manga would be if it happen.
Let's be honest. With the shipping wars, did we really need a love triangle? It did more damage than good. I'm 90% sure this is why there's a fanbase rivalry between Naruto and Hinata when the only thing they have to do with each other is that they were love rivals or are the girls of Naruto and Sasuke.
True, Naruto was a huge part in her desire to get stronger, but Naruto was not the only reason why she decided to train. Her fathers negligence and her strength compared to her sister is another reason why she decides to train.
And honestly, even if Hinata's only reason for getting stronger is to be acknowledged by Naruto, what exactly is wrong with that?
Naruto is not a bad guy, and Naruto never showed Hinata any reason for not getting his acknowledgement, so what exactly is the problem?
You have a problem with an innocent hesitant girl who admires and acknowledges someone who treats everyone with kindness, but you condone the idea of some girl to keep chasing after a boy that has done nothing but destroy her character?
That's very funny and pathetic at the same time.
To be fair to Sakura, she almost got over it in the kage summit................almost. It unfortunately ended up as a "Sakura sucks" moment than a character development moment. This goes into the "what were you thinking Kishi!" pile. It would have been better for Sakura if she tried all the way, but failed. I swear, Sakura is used as a running joke by Kishi. If Kishi actually confirmed this, it would be funny rather than sad.
Yeah and that doesn't matter. We could argue day and night on whether it's logical or not and still not come to a conclusion. Sakura's contributions were game changing and ensured Kaguya's defeat. On the other hand, Hinata was having a nice dream and becoming a White Zetsu.
When it came to the most important moment to decide NV's fate, it was Sakura who shone, not Hinata.
The first paragraph is true, though I believe the format of Sakura being with them is one of the things that takes down the manga.
The second isn't entirely true after the events of the Last. Even though Toneri is laughable in comparison to Kaguya, the threat was equivalent. It was every bit as important, and Hinata has also shown importance in other areas that would have made or broke the world. (I'll elaborate if you'd like)
