Speaking of the times during and before war arc.
Even back then, it was not a crush. Hinata confessed that she loved him back in 437.
Only times they have decent conversation was when Hinata encouraged Naruto b4 his fight with Neji and confessed to him. 3rd time was after Neji died.
There's more than that actually
The only times he have insulted (which was truth tbh) and attempted to kill (in an exam which Gaara tried to kill Lee and Shino ripped the arms of Zaku) Hinata was when they had a fight,
Doesn't matter if it's true, he shouldn't insult her. Do you do that in real life? Point out people's faults and insecurities? What the ****?
omfg XD this is
too precious. You have the
nerve to bash Hinata for apparently "not caring" for Neji, but you're okay with Neji trying to kill Hinata? I don't care if it was a brutal exam. Naruto, Sasuke, Kiba, Sakura, Temari, and Hinata were all not fighting with intent to kill. Neji was. He made the choice to attempt to kill her. And how dare you even
try and compare Gaara and Shino harming someone they DON'T even know and someone who's
NOT EVEN FROM THE SAME VILLAGE OR SAME CLAN to Neji and Hinata's situation, where they are from the same village, same clan, and have grown up together. Sweet ****, you're losing your touch.
While during time skip he stood at her side and teached him a lot. Being a teacher/sensei means a lot in Narutoverse, look at Gai and Lee or Naruto and Jiraiya. Naruto and Hinata's communication pale in comparasion to the guy who lives in same household with her and trains her.
Like I said, there's no proof that he taught her anything beyond 64 palms, and once again, I've already shown you how much Hinata cares for Neji. And don't fool yourself, there's even less moments of positive communication between Neji and hinata than there is between Naruto and Hinata. The guy didn't even apologize for trying to kill her as far as we know.
Neji and Hinata's communication: Their fight in the Chuunin exams, Hinata giving tea to him and her father as they have a conversation, Neji training her in 64 palms, Neji finding her unconscious body in the Pain arc, Hinata protecting Neji from a Zetsu, Neji dying for her and Naruto.
He died for both. He died for his 'comrades' and if he would not die for Hinata and die for Naruto, why would he jump infront of Hinata who already blocked Naruto from getting spiked?
You're right.
Maybe getting impaped by oversized toothpicks for her life? Concerning for her life (like in Pain arc)?
It wasn't just her life, and again, as I've said, she has shown to care for him. Whether or not it's more than her care for Naruto is not up for you to decide if it's right or wrong. Neji is her brother, Naruto id her lover.
I must say, as dumb as this argument is, at least it’s not as bad as those claims that she didn’t care for Neji at all. Good for you, you’re not as dumb as you seem.
Now, a lot of people seem to think that Hinata is obligated to care for Neji simply because of their blood relation. I mean, I understand the two care for each other, but people make it out to be like Hinata isn’t ALLOWED to put Naruto over her Blood Relatives, and this makes 0 sense. Blood relations is not something that determines the deepness of a bond you have with others.
We've seen her protect Neji in the war, In “Regrets” we see her with a saddened expression remembering Neji’s death, She also cried for him so much that there were marks on her face afterwards her; body even shaking, and completely understood his will for dying as he did ; and conveyed this will to Naruto and the entire alliance. Even over a decade later, she is still visiting his grave.
