I'm currently watching the first series and began reading the manga again from chapter 1. I like that they put the other characters like Hinata, Ino and Shikamaru the first couple episodes. Felt really really sorry for Hinata when the teams were announced and she wasn't put in Naruto's group

Narusaku fans are saying Naruto fell in love with Hinata because of the genjustu but wasn't Naruto falling inlove with Hinata on abandon island the genjustu just made it stronger and confirm Hinata always been with Naruto. They are also saying that the fashback in the movie are non-canon because it wasn't in the manga, really i want to call them out and say but aren't you the one who say RTN is cannon even though it fits no were in the time line at all. Anyways I hope the chunin exam arc is good and i am going to watch it i haven't watch Naruto anime in awhile well I watch the Hanabi special, the part i like most was the sister bond they had and the small Naruhina momment when Hinata was 'stalking' Naruto, the blush on Hinata was nicely done and the way Hanabi look at Hinata in that seen seem like she was shock her sister can look like she was in extasy

Zzzzz NaruSakus still at it??? Seriously? Well there one fact still remain.. he really fell in love with Hinata... genjutsu or not. It was just to make it more interesting, for him to see her memories.. he will found out sooner or later. It doesn't matter HOW. The point is that he finally see her feelings (even though it took him awhile).

Man...so much god tier ideas you can think of the children...so awesome! So everyone, with the slight fear no one is going to answer this and let me type all this out for nothing

Can I ask everyone what their top 10 FAVOURITE NaruHina moments were? Before I write out mine let me say when I say NaruHina moments you can use ANYTHING and I mean ANYTHING just as long as it OFFICIALLY came from Naruto, so Manga, Filler episodes, Spin Off, Games, etc, so someone's fanfic? Fanart? Sorry won't count lol

Secondly the interaction doesn't have to be directly WITH Naruto and Hinata just as long as its NaruHina so if you want to say Sakura encouraging Hinata to follow her feelings for Naruto, then yes that would count...

Also if you are going to answer can you at least explain a bit why you liked that moment? I am trying to spark discussion afterall

Without further Ado, here's mine!

Pardon me for gushing about Hinata again but after looking at these new spoiler pics and trailers, I just realized something:

Did SP/Kishi just find the holy combination in creating what could possibly be the closest thing to a perfect anime female character in Hinata?

I mean let's look at her several factors:
- She has simple yet relatable backstory that makes you root for her all the more and make you very happy when she succeeds.
- A kind, gentle, polite and caring personality that you'd like to have in a friend and would love to have in a lover.
- In addition to that, she has a lot of inner strength in her, being VERY strong-willed and courageous willing to do never back down as well as do anything she can to protect her loved ones, even risk her own life.
- Has her good share of badass moments that are awe-worthy.
- She's also very appealing appearance-wise. Her Part 1 incarnation being very adorable and her Part II incarnation being very beautiful
- Her the Last incarnation was able to achieve that high level of sexiness all WITHOUT venturing to the the "slutty" category. In fact, combined with her personality it only amplifies her sexiness even further.
- Has a very large bust size.
- Has a beautiful singing voice due to being voiced by one of the biggest names in the seiyuu industry (thank you Nana Mizuki)

I think I'm missing some more but you get my point.

Heck the only crime I think that was committed is why they didn't utilize her more considering she eclipsed the supposed main female protagonist in popularity. Seriously, what did Kishi/SP do to make Hinata this perfect?

Well the Yamato Nadeshiko is largely a VERY VERY popular trope in Japan, for those uninformed the Nadeshiko is a Japanese wild flower, its beautiful in everything you think of in the language of flowers, it reflects a sense of elegance, grace and beauty, but then you remember its a WILD flower meaning it stands tall and can weather the elements and remain strong, so applying that to an anime character it basically means the perfect Japanese wife she is strong, elegant, good natured, well mannered and bred...but mess with her family or husband and she WILL kick your ass

so naturally in Japan the fanbase of anime fans (well anywhere really) tend to steer to those who would make a perfect girlfriend over the comedic violently female character, Hinata just displayed traits tat was more appealing and endearing to the readers, hence she got really popular really quick, because Sakura was...well everything NOT Hinata and from what we understand she was losing popularity as quickly as Hinata was gaining it I mena wow one of the reasons he held off on telling Sakura's family background was simply cause...nobody was interested enough to hear it while Hianta's family dynamic was ALOT more interesting lol

In terms of appearance, there's no specific way of knowing why the designs were chosen the way it was chosen, but since we established Sakura was the billboard, I guess Kishi wanted to experiment and make her the EXACT opposite and give her the largest bust out of all the girls (lol if you watch the bath house scene, you don't really notice but even Ino in the background are shocked by how big they are) since Sakura sacrificed beauty to become stronger (cutting of her hair was the start of that) and even became a fist fighter I am sure this is where some of the appeal of her's was lost with Japanese readers, while hinata could grow even more feminine and pull a "Reverse Sakura but did she have to sacrifice anything to do so? Nope she was still a powerful Gentle Fist and Byakugan user and didn't have to sacrifice ANYTHING to do so and was getting stronger still

Nena as we all established was a lucky break, she was new to the industry and no one was going to see her become as famous while doing Hinata the way she does her now, the fact we can associate Hinata can sing was because Nena was able to achieve her OWN success in the industry lol

Yeah I'm familiar with how popular the Yamato Nadeshiko trope is in Japan but even in the Western fandom I see that Hinata is still more popular. I also think it had something to do with some of Sakura's bad moments in the manga (and I hate to say it, she had quite a lot. Looking at you Five Kage Summit arc)

Not to mention the Tsundere always hitting the boy, while funny at times tends to cross double standards territory so that might have turned Sakura off for some people, in Japan and everywhere else.

Yeah I've seen some detractors say that Hinata is a doormat due to her quiet nature, but like you said when it comes to her friends and family, she will show you no mercy.

The thing is, I've seen my fair share of Yamato Nadeshiko characters but NONE of them even clicks to me as Hinata has. Maybe because I've been a fan of her for the longest time so seeing her blossom from a shy adorable girl to a strong confident and beautiful woman is all the more satisfying.

Exactly there are ALOT of Hinata fans everywhere lol that's why when NaruSaku (or to be fair Hinata haters in general) boards are all complaining and being butthurt and claiming how could Hinata end up with Naruto she's "obviously" the less popular Naruto girl compared to Sakura are REALLY obviously ignoring facts that KINDA isn't true considering evidence EVERYWHERE even Kishimoto HIMSELF says no Hinata IS more popular then Sakura

Now I kinda wonder if Kishimoto wrote some of those scenes chief amoung them the Fake confession with ANY idea in mind this was going to make Sakura more hated not loved...? Well maybe he couldn't have predicted it would make Sakura less popular, but did he have the idea in mind when he wrote those Sakura scenes that it would help her dwindling popularity? Cause it certainly backfired well the fake confession at the VERY least I think was written with the intention of pushing NAruHina to the fans as a REAL possibility (since Hinata already confessed now we have a scene with Naruto ACTIVELY rejecting Sakura) so maybe he jsut wrote it not thinking about what it was to do to Sakura, perhaps?

And maybe that was one thing that helped Hinata in the eyes of fans, she was a Yamato Nadeshiko that we watched grow up with her, unlike in most animes where the Nadeshiko is an established trope in the character from the start so we know in THOSE characters that they are the strong wife from the start while in Hianta's case we got to watch her grow into her's

Ah well I'm going to love it, so I don't need to wonder lol

Yeah it was implied it was only a borrowed power and he wasn't going to get to keep it...or at least not until he discovers how to achieve it on his own

coded321 · 2014-12-17, 14:14

^ so that would mean sasuke lost the powers he got as well? i guess it makes sense that they made naruto somewhat weaker in the movie because if he still had the six path page mode, he would have easily and totally dominated toneri, therefore making a boring movie. its like what they did with thor in the avengers movie, because thor in the movie is much weaker than his comic book counterpart.

Unfortunately a 5 second cameo isn't going to answer this question,maybe he did maybe not lol

But think of it this way, they were only given powers that they could use, there's nothing to suggest they can't achieve such states with their own training someday

730flare · 2014-12-17, 14:37

I'm just curious, I remember Avalon saying that Hinata's Protective Trigarms 64 Palms is considered a part of her canon moveset since it appears in the spin-off mangas and the video games (which only use canon material), In addition, a lot of the NaruHina moments have integrated its way to canon in some form (like Naruto saving her from bullies, don't know what else)

I want to ask: Is Hinata the only character that Kishimoto's given this treatment to? I haven't followed the series majorly so I might be wrong here. But considering that Hinata appears in a lot of filler, I wanted to ask if she's the sole exception or not.

As for NaruHina moments, are there any other moments from the anime that Kishimoto considers canon?

Avalon64 Searcher of Paradise! Join Date: Nov 2014 Location: Ontario, Canada	Man...so much god tier ideas you can think of the children...so awesome! So everyone, with the slight fear no one is going to answer this and let me type all this out for nothing Can I ask everyone what their top 10 FAVOURITE NaruHina moments were? Before I write out mine let me say when I say NaruHina moments you can use ANYTHING and I mean ANYTHING just as long as it OFFICIALLY came from Naruto, so Manga, Filler episodes, Spin Off, Games, etc, so someone's fanfic? Fanart? Sorry won't count lol Secondly the interaction doesn't have to be directly WITH Naruto and Hinata just as long as its NaruHina so if you want to say Sakura encouraging Hinata to follow her feelings for Naruto, then yes that would count... Also if you are going to answer can you at least explain a bit why you liked that moment? I am trying to spark discussion afterall Without further Ado, here's mine! 10) Spoiler for 10: Hinata offers to let Naruto Cheat off her during Chunnin exam, okay lets start off with something simple, since I didn't watch the anime at the time and only read the manga, in my mind this was where NaruHina began...a cute moment which was met by suspicion form Naruto, when asked why she tries to cutely cover it up saying she wants Naruto to advance with her by saying she wants EVERYONE to advance...so adorable lol 9) Spoiler for 9: Naruto vows to avenge Hinata during Chunnin exams: Wow who to think another big moment came after that whole forest of death thing? Lol Behind those smiles and shyness, we learn here that Hinata lived a PRETTY messed up life, and her admiration from Naruto makes a TON of sense, and after being pretty much told that she can't be Neiji and Neiji trying to emotionally dissect her, Hinata was about to give up herself until Naruto calls for her to kick his ass, inspired she fights back and promptly is beaten badly, but she keeps getting up, maybe it was the part of me that wanted her to succeed and get her wish, was hoping under against all odds she would somehow pull a win, but considering Neiji CLEARLY was the antagonist here kinda knew she wouldn't, NAruo gathers her blood and vows he'll beat Neiji, truth be told? i hated Part 1 Neiji even after he became nicer, if mostly for the reason HE TOOK OUT HINATA FOR ALMOST ALL OF PART 1...hell I'll be quite honest, a part of me isn't even sad he's dead...yeah that's how much more I like Hinata over Neiji lol 8) Spoiler for 8: the Mecha Naruto Story: okay jumping around lets go to a video game moment lol Cyberconnect I am sure isn't popular with the NAruSaku, and for good reason since they clearly supported NaruHina and this little amusing story is one of them, but the moment I think I got the best NAruHina moment out of was tired of not being acknowledged Mecha Naruto switches bodies' with Naruto if only to continue competing in the tournament with Hinata, however when Hinata notices something was off when Naruto was carying the doll she made when he previously said he won't carry it on him, she correctly guesses something is about Mecha Naruto and is able to help the REAL Naruto convince their friends that he is him, man Hinata you REALLY know your man INSIDE and out lol 7) Spoiler for 7: Naruto meets Hinata for the first time in Shippuden: After that hiatus I was excited to see all the new designs for the Konoha 11...no no I really was not, the one I was REALLY excited to see was Hinata! Which sadly got put on hold so they could do the Gaara rescue! OH SONNOVA!!! After an arc later, showing off Sakura's longest fight she would have for a LONG time (which I was actually really bored of), Gaara's rescued and FINALLY they go back, we meet Kiba, then Shino...and I am like OH YEAH! We're finally gonna see Shippuden Hinata! Then we saw her hiding behind a fence, the girl had grown up and blossomed from a cutie into one heck of a beauty! Naruto's brief interaction after 3 years is enough to cause her to faint and I am like...well at least the status quo of Hinata's adorablenes is still intact lol 6) Spoiler for 6: You're a Proud Failure: Okay so we all know what's what, Naruto talks a big game but we know its to hide insecurities and does he ever share his worst insecurities to Sakura his supposed crush? Hell naw! He shared them with Hinata, telling her that he really is a failure, this was where Hinata would turn his words of gloom around into words of inspiration, reminding him why he beame so strong because despite his failure he'll always get right back up, and she even mentioned the feeling in her HEART when she sees him do it...naturally being Part 1 Naruto this goes over his head...sigh...can't even look behind you and see what you can have, can you? 5) Spoiler for 5: Hinata's Water Dance: yeah it was a filler but one of my favourite scenes of filler...the episode itself was REALLY forgettable...something about a rare beetle, Shino wanted to be leader...aw who cares! This was the real reason you watched this filler ep, NAruto going to the bathroom (and somehow not noticing Hinata was missing lol) notices a girl he can't make out by the waterfall, I think what makes it for me is the way he was completely entranced watching her move...the look he gave was definitely not one he gave any other girl, he calls out to her and Hianta promptly runs off...understandable she WAS naked...later he tells Kiba he saw a REALLY beautiful girl by the waterfall lol Hinata's expression was priceless, a cute NaruHina moment...and further proof why Shino and Kiba got FURTHER shoved into the background... 4) Spoiler for 4: Chapter 700: Okay lemme share you a story, I lost track of the manga for a bit, wasn't following the movie so I didn't know there WAS a movie and here I am standing in an EB games and somehow the subject of NAruto gets dropped, the salesgirl told me the series had just ended so I asked oh how did it, she smiled and said oh you should read it yourself. So I went home went to a local Manga site and turned the page...and okay a kid that looks EXACTLY like Naruto, yup this is his son...but whose the mother he has none of any of the mother's features it coulda been Ino for all we know! Oh wait Ino hooked up with Sai a page later? Well I read on...and then I was blessed with a glorious sight, a little girl with Naruto's whisker marks standing next to her mother...that's right MOTHER Hinata...OH YEAH NaruHina is CANON!!! OH YEAH! See this is what made the whole thing worth it for me, its like its telling the fanbase, hey yeah Naruto and Hinata? TOTALLY had to have sex MORE then once for these kids...and man was the feeling so wonderful! 3) Spoiler for 3: Hinata snapping Naruto out of Despair in Chapter 615: okay by now we were realizing that Hinata was going to be an important player in all this but even I got kinda disappointed when Hinata was shuffled into some close range division while NAruto was training to be a living being of energy lol I was like aaaww how are they going to fit ANY NAruHina moments now? Well come Chapter 615 I was not disappointed, Neiji just gave his life to give NaruHina his blessing...and NAruto is at the end of his rope especially after promisng no one would die! for the first time in the series he was about to give up! Hinata however slaps him and reminds him of his nindo and her nindo...and why they must always fight for it, inspired Naruto holds her hand powers her up, (gives energy to everyone else by touching them showing the holding hands with Hianta was HIS choice) and the two pull off a sic Tag Team attack! And NAruto thanks Hianta for always being by her side...I love this moment cause of how badass it was...i probably would have rated it higher if she found a way to fit another I love you in there but...it was still a great scene...which reminds me! 2) Spoiler for 2: Hinata's confession during Pein...aaaawww Hinata's love confession you used to be my number 1 for a LOOOOOOONG time, but just recently you were moved to number 2...doesn't mean you didn't put up a fight though...I admit during Shippuden, Hinata's lack of screentime was beginning to frustrate me, while I accepted that NAruSaku wasn't going to happen I really did wonder if NaruHina was going to either...Hianta jsut WASN"T there and not enough was bieng done to tell me that yes there can be something that can happen, I was beginning to get discouraged...then Pein attacked Konoha and I was like okay so Naruto will show off his new Sage mode and totally beat Pein, but then is where things took an unexpected twist! Pein started winning and pinned NAruto down oh CRAP! Now what? Then of ALL people Hinata jumps in to help protect Naruto...and we were all AAAHH Hinata?!! No do what Naruto says! You can't beat Pein and then Hinata says the words that we will all remember..."Because I love you" and tore that status quo of who can be the main hero's love interest! This reaffirmed that YES NAruHina IS going to happen and that I was sorry for EVER doubting it! As a scene it was REALLY badass, I am sure no one saw this and knew Hinata was going to win, alot probably feared she was going to die...but I think this was the start that showed to Kishimoto that Hinata had to be moved up, had to be a main character REAL soon or he'll lose readers And finally my number 1: Spoiler for 1: The kiss next to the moon: Yeah as of me writing this, I STILL HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE! But hearing what it was going to be about and seeing a bit of spoilers (trying to avoid TOTAL spoilers though I did read Kampfer's spoiler lol the one moment form the movie I think that captivated my heart was seeing Naruto reach forward and kiss his lady love next to the moonlight...I think this moment spoke to the me of 15 years ago and told him, that yeah you saw the right girl from the start...and NAruto himself chose the best girl for him, no one else could have done this moment justice other then Hinata...that's why I can't see ANY other ship with Naruto OR Hianta now...it HAS to be them together or nothing! So romantically cheesy, cliched almost? Perhaps...but it was a moment that said yes, all that shipping you did with these two? It's all going to work out! well that's my top 10, you probably don't need to go into as much detail as I did...originally I was worried I was not going to be able to pick 10 moments but then my problem became actually ORDERING them lol __________________ "No matter how much pain we feel, we can't close our hearts to it"

Luminer Astartes Khorne-forged Join Date: Sep 2014	Alright Avalon, I'll bite. Note that my ranking (minus the #1 are mostly interchangeable and all have EQUAL value). Without further ado: Spoiler for 10: The Road to Ninja version of Hinata. Specifically her death threat to Sakura. OK, technically this is more Menma x Hinata but Menma = Naruto for all intents and purposes so no biggie. Ironically, this movie is supposed to support NaruSaku but just looking at how fierce Alter-Hinata is always makes me wish the real one did that at least once. Spoiler for 9: During their time as children, as she is the ONLY ONE cheering for Naruto during his spar with Sasuke. Oh darlin' you're adorable. Spoiler for 8: Little Naruto saving little Hinata from the scum-sucking bullies without any shred of hesitation. Little one, you may be dense as a doorknob sometimes, but you certainly know how to make a lasting impression. Spoiler for 7: Naruto's vow when clenching Hinata's blood proclaiming he will beat Neji. Actually that whole ordeal had him cheering for her only and curiously, much like my #9 it was only him that had believed in her ability to win, whereas everyone else made reservations that she would lose. And yeah the others were right, until Naruto's actual fight and victory. Spoiler for 6: Stepping out of the in-universe for a bit, but I loved Kishimoto's interview in how he carefully planned NaruHina towards the ending. The fact that he attributed Hinata knitting Naruto his red scarf like how his wife did for him made me smile profusely. Spoiler for 5: Just prior to Naruto's fight where he discusses his insecurities with Hinata and she in turn telling him, in no small order, that he is amazing and that she believes in him. Yup, fun times. Spoiler for 4: Hinata's confession and the anime version's subsequent depiction of her standing up to Deva Pain. One of the FEW times I happen to like the anime changes. That determination...oooh. Spoiler for 3: Hinata slapping Naruto out of his freak out. Oh God the memories. I don't think I need to explain why this is so good. It lead to Naruto holding her hand for the first time and although he was likely only doing it to give her chakra, it symbolically meant so much more to her as she realized her dream of being able to walk by his side. Spoiler for 2: The Epilogue and the children reveal. The final proof that Naruto is entirely happy with his wife and despite the trials and tribulations of his new position infringing a bit on his family, he is nonetheless happy (as Hinata's expression suggests). Spoiler for 1: ALL OF THE LAST. The movie that set the internet on FIRE (or at least the Naruto fandom itself). The movie itself may not be Shakespeare or whatever (and even he didn't have every story be a hit IMO) but the set-up for it is phenomenal and the fact that it was DEDICATED to NaruHina is a sheer miracle. I have yet to see it but from everything thus far, I am already prepared to view it the INSTANT it becomes available.

StrikeFreedomV2 Super Striker Join Date: Dec 2009 Location: Germany Age: 38	I'm currently watching the first series and began reading the manga again from chapter 1. I like that they put the other characters like Hinata, Ino and Shikamaru the first couple episodes. Felt really really sorry for Hinata when the teams were announced and she wasn't put in Naruto's group

730flare Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2014	Pardon me for gushing about Hinata again but after looking at these new spoiler pics and trailers, I just realized something: Did SP/Kishi just find the holy combination in creating what could possibly be the closest thing to a perfect anime female character in Hinata? I mean let's look at her several factors: - She has simple yet relatable backstory that makes you root for her all the more and make you very happy when she succeeds. - A kind, gentle, polite and caring personality that you'd like to have in a friend and would love to have in a lover. - In addition to that, she has a lot of inner strength in her, being VERY strong-willed and courageous willing to do never back down as well as do anything she can to protect her loved ones, even risk her own life. - Has her good share of badass moments that are awe-worthy. - She's also very appealing appearance-wise. Her Part 1 incarnation being very adorable and her Part II incarnation being very beautiful - Her the Last incarnation was able to achieve that high level of sexiness all WITHOUT venturing to the the "slutty" category. In fact, combined with her personality it only amplifies her sexiness even further. - Has a very large bust size. - Has a beautiful singing voice due to being voiced by one of the biggest names in the seiyuu industry (thank you Nana Mizuki) I think I'm missing some more but you get my point. Heck the only crime I think that was committed is why they didn't utilize her more considering she eclipsed the supposed main female protagonist in popularity. Seriously, what did Kishi/SP do to make Hinata this perfect?

coded321 He Who Games Join Date: Dec 2013 Location: the virtual world	^ so that would mean sasuke lost the powers he got as well? i guess it makes sense that they made naruto somewhat weaker in the movie because if he still had the six path page mode, he would have easily and totally dominated toneri, therefore making a boring movie. its like what they did with thor in the avengers movie, because thor in the movie is much weaker than his comic book counterpart.

730flare Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2014	I'm just curious, I remember Avalon saying that Hinata's Protective Trigarms 64 Palms is considered a part of her canon moveset since it appears in the spin-off mangas and the video games (which only use canon material), In addition, a lot of the NaruHina moments have integrated its way to canon in some form (like Naruto saving her from bullies, don't know what else) I want to ask: Is Hinata the only character that Kishimoto's given this treatment to? I haven't followed the series majorly so I might be wrong here. But considering that Hinata appears in a lot of filler, I wanted to ask if she's the sole exception or not. As for NaruHina moments, are there any other moments from the anime that Kishimoto considers canon?
