Seems like you are doing the same thing as me with your own time: Browsing through Narutobase so i suggest you go and take several seats.

OT: I'm not too bothered really. In my opinion it would have made Team 7 more interesting and i had said that way before the story of the Sage was brought into the plot.

In regards to Hyuugas, I was always a fan of Neji so it's really not that deep. I'm not one to really go there with in regards to sarcasm because i can shut it down lol however, this is my opinion and we are each entitled to one!

i spend maybe 10-20 minutes on here. never over an hour, and that's on my lazy days. i actually have a life lol!

and you wrote all that just to say that you wished hinata was on team 7. el oh el

I'm a fan of Hinata too,but I think there was a very logical reason for this(not based on parallels):
Hinata at the time was very shy and didn't have much self esteem. That's why she was on a team under Kurenei, who could help her grow much more than Kakashi would. Kakashi had his hands full with the jinchuriki(his sensei's son) and the last Uchiha who only he could train. Being the heir to an existing,large clan,Hinata would also need attention.
Team 8 also forms a very efficient tracking team,while Team 7 was more of a offensive one.
What could Sakura contribute to Team 8? Her skills wouldn't really help Shino and Kiba much.
In terms of character development,I admit I would've loved to see how Hinata would've grown if she was on Team 7...

I didnt say i wished she was on Team 7 bozo Loool If i wished anything it would have been that kishi would have not killed off Jiraiya or Neji, and would have made Sakuras character more interesting as ultimately her lack of development was down to him.

And in regards to my own time, I am a professional musician and male model who has sung with MANY known artists. I dont do cosplay in my spare time.

You must be registered for see images
have nothing original to say? ok then, neeeext please.

Calm down and learn to respect others opinions also i don't think a cosplayer is one to throw stones when it comes to time on their hands.

OT: Hinata wasn't originally going to be a Ninja, Kishi was going to make her a normal civilian, give me a minute i'll try to find the sketch.

why does everyone think i'm upset? i'm always rude in my posts. it's the hinata fanboys in here that are the ones getting upset. Lol
all my cosplays are already made and ordered from ebay/cosplay stores. i don't actually make them. ain't nobody got time fo dat.

heh hehe i seriously dont care whether or not you believe me as i got all the congratulations from friends and family already Lol work is work and to me a gig is a gig but its a blessing. I would not associate the word 'blessing' in this conversation vainly. i know my own life and its bless but the same as everyone elses: just my own. however, my parents did not raise me to tell lies: you do not know me. i have no reason to lie. and no reason to prove myself.

(tho it makes me realise moreso that i guess i was very bless to do that.. if evidently people wouldnt believe if i told them heh hehe)

You said it yourself, they were meant to balance each other out, while Sasuke was at the top, Naruto was at the bottom, and Sakura was at the most intelligent kuniochi if he wan't to make the team OP, then this is definitely better than Naruto, Sasuke, Hinata, and let's be real here, Hinata didn't have feats at that moment, if anything, her younger sister was still stumping her.

Besides, having a bloodline doesn't guarrantee greatness, you can argue with me, but not everyone can optimize their bloodlines, if so then Itachi and Obito would have been the ones massacred during the massacre

this .......
hinata's importance is so much to the story that she is still faceplanting

No, I totally disagree, because Team 7 was about balance, and Naruto + Sasuke + Hinata = no balance.

I like your analysis and proof behind it. I honestly didn't think about what it would be like if the teams were switched up. I agree, though, with the current setup because it is so balanced and so that most of the teams have a "special eye", although I'm sure it was probably done that way on purpose later. This is obviously excluding Team Asuma, which is (if I remember correctly) made that way because of traditions. The Yamanaka, Nara, and Akimichi Clans have been friends for generations because they work well together and (for the most part) get along.

Hinata is a sensor so Hiruzan just put her on sensor team plus with someone ( Kurunai ) who will care for her .

Kakashi won't accept the team if hinata was there as team is bit similar to his with Sakura in it .

as of Kishimoto , he have said he lacked experience creating a heroine so he went with a girl , who doesn't understand boys .

This is why.

And not only that Sakura was the top ninja, Ino was only above her because of her clan jutsu.

Technically Kishi was wrong, he should have made Sakura the one with both and Sasuke heaven. But due to Sakura's lack of development , he could say this

Kishimoto likely came up with her character before Hinata's.

Also, she's clearly far superior.
