In the end I suppose since Sakura's character has become more likable in my eyes (from the moment she cut off her hair) I really wouldn't mind her ending up with Naruto. I only wonder what would happen to poor Hinata if that were to happen. The poor girl would be crushed . I suppose Kiba is a pretty good guy *shrug*. |

-I think you're underestimating Hinata's strenght of self and character here my friend. She's not some weak-hearted person (her shyness and insecrurity are just more dominant most of the time) to be completely crushed by 1 hearth-throb. She would move on if things came to be this way. And besides, what's wrong with Kiba? Would you prefer it to be Shino, Neji or Gaara like in many doujinshis?

You're right, I may be underestimating her just a little bit. I'm sure she'd tough it out and get over it eventually but I just like the girl too much to think that even anime character have to go through that stuff. And it's not like I dislike Kiba, it just seems to me that she would be "settling" if she went that route. In my experience that never turns out well. |

-Settling, huh? Wouldn't that be the same thing if Sakura supposedly "settled" for Naruto, or Sasuke settled for Sakura? Or worse yet what if Naruto settled for Hinata? See how bad it would be it things were viewed in that perspective? Genuine love I would say isn't something that can be described by a term you would use when buying groceries (for example: you couldn't get the triple-chocolate cake so you "settled" for your 2nd best, the Black Forest). I think that, depending upon the way this story unfolds we will get a good look on how the love-lives of Naruto and Sakura will take shape...

-Even if the romance is never shown it can still be developed, albeit in more subtle ways. To be perfectly honest I am not one to really desire the whole "mushy" sceenes between the guy and gal in question where they stare at the night's sky and stars then all of a sudden look at each other and then share a kiss. I would be perfectly satisfied if Kishimoto just pulled out something like "Naruto's ended kids. Oh and by he way, he married someone." But yeah, what is to come for our blonde-haired twit in terms of love I cannot say for certain...

But developing a serious relationship for Naruto in the show would blow it, I think it would "in the anime real world sense" distract the events in the show. |

-Distract? I don't know what to say to that. Personally I take every new bit of information and characters that are added to the series as they come. Learning that Naruto is in love with someone wouldn't really deter my attention from the main plot. I think the expression "all things are connected" is well suited here...

Romance would help Naruto, but I don't think Kishimoto cares for it much. He seems to go out of his way to avoid adding anything romantic.
I don't see many couples happening in Naruto. Maybe just Temari and Shikamaru making lots of Leaf/Sand babies. That's about the only couple I am sure of since they remind me a lot of Asuma and Kurenai. They always deny there is anything going on between them and then boom it happens. |

Naruto gets Sasuke. It's undeniable... look at all the doujins as proof. Both pre and post time skip...
Look at Naruto's reaction in the manga with the Sai x Sasuke thing or the first kiss Naruto took away from Sasuke in the beginning. I tell you, they love each other |

Personally, I think the term "settling" is quite apt for relationships. Everyone (without exception) has to do it because no one is perfect. To be honest, I would be much more willing to settle when it came to a relationship than in the grocery store. As bad as that sounds... Quote:

-Indeed, I agree as well. Presenting the main plot of the storyline is in fact very important but it never hurts to slow it down every once in a while and enjoy the little "cute" and "simpler" bits of the universe created by the author. After all, the story isn't made up of solely 1 event but a large number of them. Like the pieces to a puzzle, they each fit into one proper place to make up a whole.

Not to interrupt your discussion. But where do people get Hinata x Kiba anyway? KibaHina is the same as ShikaIno and NejiTen. Just putting the girl with the more attractive teammate. There are almost no romantic hints with any of those pairings. If Hinata doesn't hook up Naruto, she will probably end up with no named character since there have been no hints about her and someone else. Kishimoto doesn't seem the type to stick her in a relationship just for the sake of it.

Okie so you mentioned that Sakura and Naruto might get together after the manga/anime ends...how will we know about it? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sakura has a lot of respect for Naruto, in some sort of manner, but the way things are at the moment and not just applying how Naruto and Sakura feel about each other...no relationships will go anywhere anytime soon |
