Some interesting shipping questions

[Kadmos1]

1. Some interesting shipping questions: Suppose you ship a couple and there's ample evidence that they would end up together in the last chapter but then it turns out that a character gets shipped with another character that they hardly interact with and the love/crush is mostly one-sided. Would you consider Kishi to be trolling/falsely advertising the pair with more evidence?

Example: Let's say that SasuSaku had more evidence of happening than NaruSaku but the latter happens. Would you consider that to be deceiving the SasuSaku shippers? This question applies to those that wanted NaruSaku (like me) to happen but it didn't.

Personally, I feel like it did fall along the lines of false advertising for NaruSaku. If there were a few chapters were Naruto started to date Hinata or confessed to her and he told Sakura he was over with her, then I'd be more accepting of NaruHina.

2. Let's that there was confirmed interview where Kishi said he had planned for a ship to happen in the end but it didn't happen for whatever reason(s) and a different ship happened. Even though your ship won, would you still ship them even if Kishi had wanted another ship to happen? For example, let's say Kishi confirms he intended for NaruSaku to happen though NaruHina happened (vice versa), would you still ship your preferred couple?

Bonus: With the upcoming Jump Festa, it'd be nice if someone eventually finds a confirmed interview of Kishi there where he mentions on the intended pairings he had for the finale. Sure, he may have had intended for NaruHina to happen but he may have eventually intended for NaruSaku to happen. I'm talking about if Kishi was asked something to the effect "Was it Hinata or Sakura that you had really wanted Naruto to end up with? Also, given that Sakura had more interaction with Naruto, why did you decide to have Naruto be with Hinata?"

Even though shippers may be upset that their shipping doesn't occur, it might be nice to know that that shipping was intended to happen and would've happened but didn't. If that's the case, it also can be nice to know the reason(s) why said intended shipping didn't occur.

Will I shipped NH since part 1, and there was nothing to shake my confidence on its canon-ness. NH had enough interactions to show that it was more than possible for a love life to be there, even in part 1-part 2 solidified that.

As for for SS, I don't know. Sakura finally broke Sasuke walls down, well ninshu indoctrination did......Well as long as Sasuke isn't out to kill her then I guess it can work......

Don't click on it then, genius. Or were you too dumb to realize this was a shipping thread?

Lady Byakugan, even though that interview was written years ago, we could speculate that Kishi had changed his at various times on which shipping he ultimately decided upon.

Oh oh oh! Oorrrrrr... Maybe don't try to be so polemic and bias in the pairings argument. I stopped taking interests in pairings ages ago because of these things.

Oh well this is true

I thought that Sakura's stunt at the kage summit proved that naruto was done with her. He flat out told her she was lying to herself.

Kishimoto is a troll. I remember when he had Naruto and Hinata hold hands then he went to winter break(It was in 2012). Everyone was going crazy. Then Edo Minato comes in and compares Sakura to Kushina and asks Naruto if Sakura is his girlfriend(I think Naruto said yes). Now he has decided to end all this nonsense.

Dat was the last Naruto and hinata interaction in the manga :leaf:

My curiosity was piqued by the word "interesting."

Sheesh. Touchy.
