Sakura moving on from Sasuke would've been great character development for her.. It would've changed how fans view her I believe.
agreed, fans diss her so much for it also in the manga sasuke actually did like sakura during their Genin time
It certainly would've taught readers, especially women that looked to her character as an example, to VALUE yourself over how you feel about someone who abused you. She would've had my respect for sure. Sometimes it is still hard to leave or reject someone even if they've hurt you physically and mentally after loving them for a long time.
@@BlaxxShadow as a teen female whos dealt with guys like that I agree. I left then he literally came back after me, it mightve been the same if she actually valued herself and her own rights a bit more.
@@jessissuperdoopercool lmfao “Sasuke blushed”
No
Gaara deserves love but I also love the idea of him being a single father with a bunch of adopted children who all mean the world to him
He reads as someone who is not interested in the romantic type of love but still has a lot of love to give. Which is why I also like exactly how he ended up in the story with all of the kids and his friends.
lee x gaara is such a cute combo if he did need a match.

I can see Sai's proposal to Ino: "Will you share crop tops with me, forever?" it just strikes me as the (unfortunate) hamfisted attempt at conveying his feelings he'd do.
I would say yes to this
Ironically, their relationship is the healthiest. No bullshit, no drama .
Your a budget Sakura and I’m a budget saskei we belong together
😂😂😂
What about the fact that Hinata confessed her love in the Pain fight. Naruto straight up NEVER acknowledges this confession. The Last was an after thought to explain the how they inextricably ended up together. It didn't make up for the absolute lack of romantic interest in Hinata for the entirety of both shows. In my opinion.
To be fair, right after Minato reseals the 9 tails, he only has a vague memory of a bleeding Hinata and asks if he destroyed her and the rest of the villagers, like if he didn't remember pain did that to her.
@@UncleForHire which makes her confession mean even less, sadly, because that would mean they never even had a serious moment before she just hooks up with him
In The Last we learn Naruto couldn’t make a difference between loving a dessert and loving a woman lol
Exactly it felt a bit forced because for like 700 episodes he only went after Sakura but just cause he’s put in a genjutsu…he finally notices her
@@thatoneintrovertedgirlwhich is dumb because then you wonder…how would he have known to reject sakura’s confession? Also just dubbing Naruto’s feelings for Sakura as his rivalry with Sasuke makes no sense especially when he’s seen liking Sakura before they even go into the academy I think
Bro Naruto and Sasuke got more chemistry together than they do with their wives😆
absolute truth. Sasuke reacted emotionally only to naruto, itachi and a little bit to kakashi. And for Naruto, Sasuke is the most important person in his life. there were so many feelings in this relationship - sakura and hinata were not even close
You're right on that. The chemistry was strongest between those two. Then there was between Naruto and Sakura, Hinata wasn't even close!
They are the real shipping pair. If one was a boy and the other a girl, there would be no question they would have went that route.
Thank u
@@BluemoonLacrymosa you right they had chemistry sibling chemistry they are reincarnated brothers they were always fated to be close ain't you close to your sibling because you do know brothers and sisters can be close. They are NOT GAY WERE NEVER MEANT TO BE AND KISHIMOTO NEVER STATED THAT GO BACK AND LOOK AT HIS INTERVIEWS AND GET THE FACTS AGAIN SIBLING ARE REAL CLOSE BUT WE NOT FUCKING🤷🏽♀️TF OUT OF HERE WITH THAT LOGIC IF THAT IS THE CASE EVERYONE CLOSE TO THEIR BROTHER OR SISTER OR FAMILY MEMBERS FUCKING ON YOUR LOGIC CAUSE THEY CLOSE🤦🏾♀️
You forgot the greatest and most developed relationship out of the entire series. Kakashi & Gai
Honestly I ship it
Kakashi x Book
@@LaunchFoxes yesss
Yeah nah, not happening
Oh god 🤣🤣
The last "well Naruto and Sasuke are already dating..." line made me crack up. They truly are each other's soulmates 😂😂.
I was surprised they didn’t just have a couple new characters as spouses. Most people don’t know their spouse growing up. Would not of been a shocker.
Actually, it's also rather common to marry your "Highschool sweetheart". Remember that Naruto isn't completely the modern world, so it's not like people went to the club or had Tinder or other modern means to find a partner, and in the past, people married people in their "group" so to say. That's even how clans were made, as clans aren't just "extended family". For example, Itachi's Girlfriend was an Uchiha girl.
You have it mixed up. Most people grow up with their spouse. Consider villages, small towns, cities etc. they may be linked via school, after school activity, church, playing at the park together every now and again and so on. If not from a young age many spouse meet in college.
Omg I died with the kibaship
To be fair, the Naruto world has been separated into nations and villages since back in Hashirama's day. MOST people in the Leaf got married to another Leaf villager, as most people don't/can't move out of the village. So Naruto's classmates getting married to someone they know makes sense. The only exception being Shikamaru and Temari, and only because the Leaf and Sand are allies.
Statistically its the exact opposite. Most people have met their future spouse by 18.
As a middle-schooler, I didn’t mind that Sakura and Sasuke ended up together. Re-watching as an adult woman, I totally love the Sakura-Rock Lee ship. Their relationship would have been so much healthier.
I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking that way
girl literally anything would be healthier than sasuke and sakura
Rock lee crush on sakuraat first but sakura never love him that way but when he saved them in the forest
Sakura found up most respect for Rock lee
But she always love sasuke.
@@heroeus8173exactly its like you can’t force someone to love someone
Anyone would be healthy with rock lee, but sakura just doesn't fit much for me tbh
The thing that kinda makes me laugh with NaruHina is that before Naruto finally got the message, Hinata told him that she loved him on two separate occasions as she was literally about to sacrifice herself to save him and Naruto somehow thought she meant it as bros
Naruhina happened because it’s the most popular ship and fans kept demanding it
@@Matrix-wp4jc I know lol, I just think it’s funny
@@AoAnli yes it shows that the creator had no compassion for the characters, bending it according to fan’s demands
@@Matrix-wp4jc I guess I can look past that for the most part bc romance was never truly the focus of the show/manga (until Boruto I guess, since all of them getting together was needed in order for Boruto to exist as it is, but I don’t watch or read Boruto so again it doesnt really matter to me).
That being said, if we have to get serious, I really don’t like is that most of these have no development whatsoever, and in the case of SasuSaku ESPECIALLY it’s hard to believe in them for so many reasons. Wbk ShikaTema would be together and SaiIno doesn’t really surprise me (even if back in my day the default ship for Ino in the fandom was KibaIno… for some reason ?) but SasuSaku are just the most toxic and dysfunctional pair Kishi could’ve ever gone for and I don’t think I need to say why. I like them as a /theoretical/ ship but in execution it’s just the worst
I just try not to think too hard about it for my own sanity :)))))))))
@@AoAnli 🥲 yes and yet I still support sasusaku because when the show started it was kind of obvious that sasuke and Sakura gonna be the pair , didn’t expect Sasuke to completely change in shippuden and there the pair didn’t had any interactions or developments but I’m just a loyal shipper 😂 for me i though it was shikamaru and Ino I forgot to notice Temari 🥲 as I skipped many episodes . Yep I don’t even follow Boruto, for me Naruto has ended with Team 7 united.
Ino and Sai also works bc Ino is the "popular girl" who wants to bring people together and make friends, which is exactly what Sai wants.
thats so sweet!!! ive never thought of them like that before 🥺
How do you know thats what Sai wants? Not being snarky, I just don't remember where he expresses that
Ino and Sai would work great if they developed it more but as it is it feels like she only married him because he was the closest thing to Sasuke she could find.
@@nonai7897 ? From the end of his introductory arc all of Sai's development is focused on his desire to have friends and be normal.
I was sad when Neji died because I shipped him and Tenten. They shared a mutual personality and had good chemistry/understanding. I feel like Tenten was Neji's right hand. He always showed more concern over Tenten when in battle. Tenten also seemed to think highly of Neji and visit him during the Chunin exams when he got injured. They both trained together as kids. Neji protected Tenten as a priority over anything else, such as the Chunin exam as young adults where Neji protected Tenten from knives being thrown at her with his comment on him having priorities after Tenten commented whether he was going to stop the fight. He also made sure Tenten was ok when the trio were locked by the prison jutsu by Kisame. Lee didn't show any romance/chemistry with Tenten despite being on the same team unlike Neji who grabbed her when she fell out of the water prison and asked if she was ok. Tenten on the otherhand was saddened when Neji and angry he left her. Her dream also had her friends in a way she wished all of them to be a little more of. She appears to have wanted Neji to be more open with his feelings. During the wedding, she fantasized about marriage while being single when we know she would have ended up with Neji.
I agree with you!! Neji and TenTen is a ship I really like because they were the other two students of guy besides lee, and I think they could have been a good couple
Nobody’s reading allat
facts@@OfficialDeeji
I agree - I would have loved loved loved seeing them together ❤ and I think TenTen is the most normal and least toxic of the Konoha 11, as much as I love all the others 😂❤
Given how much effort Rock Lee puts into anything he does, he would be the most devoted husband in the village if not the whole damn continent.
Which is why he is single
yes and would be easilygot dumped, cheated or manipulated by the likes of sakura
@@sahansensu6108 absolute degen comment lmao
@@sahansensu6108 that’s the most incel comment I’ve seen on this video. Congrats, I guess?
Lee would have definitely been the best thing for Sakura. It would have indicated that she had finally matured and cared more about personality than appearance (Not that Rock Lee was all that ugly IMO). It would have redeemed her character quite a bit too.
Also, they can share *CROPTOPS* 👏
Honestly another reason of why Ino and Sai go so well together.
He's an artist and she can be a diva, they have to look FABULOUS!
@@Jeezes718 True relationship goals right there
I love this observation. 🤣
What the hell are croptops?
@@CesarACastillo the shirts that are cropped and show your belly
If it was up to me, Hiashi should've died protecting Neji during the war. Kinda subverting the roles the hyuga clan used to have with someone from the main family sacrificing themselves for a person in the branch family. This would also allow for Neji to be- if not the head- someone valuable/ trusted for leadership advice by Hanabi and the clan.
Neji's death pissed me off😡🤬😡🤬 so much because it was useless💔💔💔..and Neji was a great character with so much potential to be the head of the Hyuga as he was a genius..his death was just lazy ass writing..sorry not sorry...
I AGREE!!!@@TeresaGreen-yi8je
Oh, great idea actually ! I never thought about that ! 😮👏
@@TeresaGreen-yi8je
I still am, I'll never forgive Kishi for that, that's truly his worst mistake imo.
Neji couldn't have been the head of the clan no matter what because this is not how it works even without the main/second branch thing.
@@shizukagozen777neji was supposed to die in the sasuke rescue arc so it's the editor fault for keeping him alive
I always thought the reason why Sasuke marry Sakura was because his guilt. He felt guilty about everything he done and he atone it by marry Sakura. He literally never showed any interest in Sakura at all. Even in the moment when he forgot about his revenge.
Thats make sense. Sakura it is a punishment 😂
He knew Sakura would be the only one who would tolerate his ass.
Meh. While I agree that he never showed any interest in Sakura, he did always have a goal that would have been aided by marriage: Rebuilding his clan. Dude wants to have kids, not necessarily because he has a paternal urge, but because he doesn't want to be the last and only Uchiha.
Y’all just haven’t watched Naruto or read the manga because he did in fact show interest in Sakura. I mean he was the only one to notice Sakura wasn’t acting the same and was depressed so he cheered her up AND praised her skills in front of everyone during chunin exam. Not Naruto. Sasuke did this. And he never stabbed her idk what this guy is talking about. He tried after SHE TRIED TO KILL HIM FIRST. second, the time he did “stab” her was a genjutsu so she wouldn’t get in the way of his fight with Naruto (aka protecting her from getting harmed). He never really treated her badly because he was always mentally unstable and blinded by revenge, everyone seems to forget this. It’s not his fault. Their relationship is actually healthy post war. They communicate without talking, support each other, he praised his wife’s strength constantly to everyone, would do anything for his daughter, almost went crazy when he thought Sakura was dead and crushed by rocks, etc. they had more chemistry than ANY ship in Naruto but y’all are too blind to see this because of your incel hatred towards Sakura and refusal to see past sasuke being emotionally gaslit and scarred by his brother.
@@junjay6092 You keep throwing around the word incel like you know what it means.
“She tried to kill him”
Oh and that makes their relationship justified? That makes it ok?
No self respecting person would constantly pine for someone like that.
Naruto praised Sakura as well. What makes Sasuke different from Naruto?
We’re talking about the 700 manga chapter here not the OOC novels or Boruto
Ino looking through Sai's mind with years of pain and edge: "I can fix him."
the most realistic one lol
Fuckin' females bro XD... So true.
And She did
I mean that was probably Sakura's logic with Sasuke too.
She mastered that one jutsu, every women tries to master
Neji and Tenten should have happened 😭 And yes, Shikamaru and Temari are 100% the best couple in the whole series! From the moment the two of them first meet, you can just tell that they were gonna end up together! They didn't shove it in your face or anything, but the flirting and casually being together all the time was very "Yes. Yes, this works." 😌
You're not the only one who was shipping Neji and Ten Ten
@@kimanireid6111 Oh, believe me. I know. So many people wanted it to happen!
Tenten should have happened, poor girl had some of the coolest fighting style and a nice personality yet got less screentime than Kankuro's Puppets
@@Jynx9921 YES! She could have gone so much further with her sealing and weapons abilities if they had only expanded on her character more!
Yup, and I wish her character could've been properly fleshed out. Her backstory, her abilities, etc. What wasted potential. She never even got to be with neji in the end..damn..that's depressing. :(
Sakura starting to love herself and break up with sasuke could still be a great character development and Comeback
if it had happened before boruto started sure but now with her having a kid with sasuke the fandom would probably hate her even more
Agree
A couple of years ago I got really into the Shino x Tenten ship. It really was just an example of the "pair the spares" trope, but it has a surpriseing number of fans as well as some really good stories on FanFiction and AO3. But now that you mention it, Shino would be the type to be attracted to an older woman. The shock his friends would feel when he lands the Mizukage of all people.
I can totally see shino showing up in the leaf village with the Mizukage on his arm like "Yeah, this is my wife" and refusing to give any explanations
I'm sure you saw the other "fanfics" too😉
@@manjoring5944 lol that was how I started to like Shizune/Kabuto
Makes since, both have like 0 screen time
@@whiteraven562that would’ve given the same vibe as Krillin landing 18 the most beautiful woman in the DB franchise
Shikamaru and temari is such a classic anime relationship. They’re the best couple in the series. It’s such an original and unique pairing because they’re so different. Kishimoto can’t write about love and romance very well but with this couple, he succeeded. Temari was built up as a tough older sister to gaara, who terrified shikamaru at first. She was an iconic kunoichi with a big fan that was paired to fight shikamaru, who is bland and lazy. His brilliance impresses her time and time again. Then after they failed to bring back sasuke, temari sees shikamaru’s vulnerability. He fails his first chunin mission and his best friend was near death. It was in that dire moment that it was obvious they would end up together. They remind me of miroku and sango, the best pairing in inu yasha. Or they also remind me of android 18 and krillin. Some anime couples just stand out because they’re so unique. It gives a sense of realism to the series.
You said it.. I totally agree.. on all accounts.. especially with Miroku and Sango.. definitely see that..
Yeah I think Kishi(most shonen writers) use being "bad at writing romance as an excuse", Shikamaru and Temari should he could write good romance if he really wanted too, and I never made the connection with Miroku and Sango, that's actually pretty good, the 18 and Krillin one matches up to.
Shikamaru and Temari resembles the usual Asian family lol my fav ship in Naruto
This is why it's a healthy and makes sense relationship, unlike the BS canon ship.
Right about the first part I don’t get the jumbo at towards the end
Tbh Naruto and Hinata is just the “if you stalk them enough, they will love you” 🤣
Just like with Sakura. After 6 years Sasuke was just like "ok lets marry so I can make some uchiha babys with crazy chakra"
It's insane. It's a shounen, but the guy never got the girl. Instead all the girls got their man, as if the journey was about them. Hinata had some Speedrun adventure at least, but ALL the parallels were about Naruto/Sakura.
Also why did Sakura become Hinata and Hinata became Sakura in the relationship 🤪☠️🙃-
Don't try this in real life tho, i got in jail for doing this
@@AarenYASS what do you mean Sakura become hinata? that makes no sense. Hinata was always destined to be just a house wife, that girl never wanted to be a ninja, she was just forced bc she was the head of her clan
I would say that Hinata's crush got more substance becos this wasn't just "oh he pretty" liek Sakura and Ino were about Sasuke. Naruto was hinata's "way of ninja" he impressed her, he was giving her strenght by constantly fighting against all the discrimination he was subjected to. Even if it's one sided, Hinata crush is jonestly amazing,
At least for Kishimoto style of writing
FINALLY A PERSON WHO HAS KANKURO AND KIBA ON THEIR MIND!!! It has so much potential 🤝🤝
I don't mind at all, as long as I can debate who deserves Lee more, Gaara or Sakura. In my heart, as much as I love this ship too, Sakura doesn't deserve such a kind devoted soul like Lee. If anything, they would work as friends to me. Gaara, on the other hand? Oh, how my heart sours❤. Lee is one of the kindest souls ever. He was willing to forgive the boy who hurt him, and Gaara went out of his way to save him as the first step in his turnaround arc after Naruto chucked him with his therapy speech. If anyone deserves Lee, it should be the boy who put in the effort to treat him better despite their uncomfortable first meeting and is willing to be his friend after he got a taste of humanity..
I agree!! Kiba x Kankuro!!!
Kkkkkk sim mano
Yeah, yeah.
SHUT UP!
Honestly I like it. 🤔
i was really hoping at some point thered be some gag where shino has a kid and nobody knows how.
"they hatched."
"HATCHED?"
"yes, that's what I said."

There’s also Matsuri. She’s Gaara’s first student and the one who helped him expand his friends outside of Naruto and his siblings. She was introduced in the very last filler arc, but has since been seen in the Gaara Retrieval Arc. She’s the first person outside of Naruto who fully accepted Gaara as his own person and it would have been amazing for them to be together.
Matsuri is underrated. Her choosing to be instructed by Gaara when every other student was running towards Kankuro and Temari (because they back then still were afraid by Gaara) was f*cking cute!
The Hokage can't be romantic with his younger student....it's weird and gross. An abuse of power.
@@HardCoverJacket it’s not like there’s a big age gap.
@@HardCoverJacket Gaara wasn't the Kazekage back then, so there wasn't much of an imbalance of power in this dynamic. He didn't force Matsuri to do anything she didn't like to do (as far as I can remember), so he didn't abuse his power as a teacher either.
Yep, the idea of Gaara and Matsuri is logical since Matsuri is canon and she loved him since he was a monster everyone was afraid of. It will be very strange if Gaara stays single having such a girl.
I like Hinata and Naruto together, but the lack of development between their relationship throughout the series is what made me believe they shouldn't have ended up together at the end. A two hour movie does not make up for a lack of 10 years of development. I also didn't like how they wrote of Naruto's crush on Sakura as just a competition against Sasuke.
I didn’t like how they wrote that either
"They can share crop tops" hallelujah 🤣
Wow I finally seen why this was up
14:50
It’s just economic
Lmaoo good one
This was such a fantastic line I did a spit take
The fact two side characters had better a romantic lead up than the MAIN CHARACTER is something.
I always thought of Shino as asexual but him being into older woman is maybe even more fitting and awesome. I'd ship it. And of course, Kiba and Kankuro. I shipped those since childhood.
Nah, Shino and Chomei over Mei. 2 thousand years old as well as a big bug :3

Love the idea of Kiba x Kankuro, but your description of Lee x Sakura gave me an idea for their getting together. Imagine Lee training to unlock the seventh gate and getting hurt (not as badly as w/ Gaara, but still roughed up) and Sakura patches him up with medical ninjutsu. At this point she's moved on from Sasuke but hasn't felt ready for love, but as she helps Lee get back on his feet and work his way up to the seventh gate she starts to fall for his determination and unique charm.
Ew and unrealistic. kiba is girl crazy. He likes women and not interested in Kankuro. Also those two don't really interact. Kiba won't leave his clan/dog. I don't see how Temari and Kankuro would leave Gaara alone in the sand village.

Let’s be honest kishimoto is really bad at handling Romance, especially he admitted that he’s not really good at writing romance.
Fair enough. The only relationship which actually did grow in a relatable way was Naruto and Hinata's, and as adult's Naruto has shown he's not a good father or husband. "The best thing you can do is the right thing. The second best is the wrong thing. The worst thing you can do is nothing and all." -Theodore Roosevelt.
Naruto, constantly is never around and done nothing in-person himself any more. Shadow-clones, an e-mail, and spending more time outside his own home than inside it. I swear, Goku has more fatherly and husband moments, and is better at it then Naruto.

Like literally all of a sudden those traits would vanish. They gave her a good arc in the beginning to later make her go back to her old ways of loving a guy that wouldn’t hesitate to put her in her place in the most disrespectful ways to the very end.
Sakura took so much abuse that you’d think the reason why she willingly took it is because of something very deep, though still not excuseable. Rather we were given a simple girls crush that eventually, somehow turns into love when the base of that so called love is simple looks🤦♀️🤦♀️ they never talked or bonded in a significant way while they were teammates, it was all about their missions or simply team related. The few times Sasuke opened up he did it with Naruto, never once with Sakura, and the times he was decent to her it was out of comrade courtesy, the bare minimum.
But all of a sudden because of a tap in the forehead I’m supposed to believe all that BS never happened and he loved her when a chapter or two before he made it clear that none of them had a reason to love each other, like how am I supposed to root for such thing?
The fact that there’s people defending this and mostly girls😭 like you said people tend to move on, that shows growth, majority of people that stay in such relationships end up really bad in real life.

I think a way more plausible relationship partner for gaara would be matsuri.
1. She was the only student who decided to train under gaara since everyone was way too scared of him
2. Both of them did everything to protect each other (Matsuri was kidnapped, Gaara went immediatly after her)
3. in the Chunin exam 2 (the sand one) Matsuri ignored her orders from gaara to run away, instead she went for help to save him
3. She was also with Temari when Gaara was kidnapped
4. She was the one stepping forward when Gaara was revived and she was clearly happy to see him alive
5. although she wasn't tecnically a great long distant expert she was under gaaras leadership in the shinobi war
It would have been interesting (if Matsuri survived the war) to see how maybe Matsuri comforted him after the forced marriage would have been cancelled and when Gaara realized how much Matsuri actually cared about him. Not like a simp (like many other girls) but as a real love interest.
Yeah I agree
YEAAAAH!! She was the best option for him. She was loud, optimist, kind, harworking, and also a Naruto fan. Also, she already loves Gaara since childhood, she is Gaara's Hinata. They would have been the perfect couple, and their child would be a version of Gaara with dark hair , that kinda could look like Gaara's father, that's interesting, and he could use the Gold dust like the four Kazekage

The only thing about couples that Kishimoto got It COMPLETELY right is no couples between InoShikaCho. Now you can say "Oh, but they are only friends, that would never happen". But, seriously, HOW MANY TIME the trope of one girl in a group with two guys ends up with one of them has been used? There are romcoms literally based only in this principal. And COME ON, I only have to talk about Hermione to make my point.
The fact that InoShikaCho grew up together, and Don't be fooled, they would do anything for one another, but Don't have nothing romantic about them is the best thing in the category that Kishimoto has done. And even in Boruto, Chocho talis about It, but Inojin and Shikadai are like brothers to her.
I always wanted Karin and Suigetsu to end up together, just because I think they can relate to a lot of things that happened through their time with orochimaru and how even now they're living like a giant family. Also, It is shown that they atleast care for eachother to some degree.

one weird little thing that never made sense to me is all of the Naruto couples deciding to make a baby in the same year which explains why all of the kids from Boruto are around the same age
Or why they only had a single child while naruto had 2.
@@semekiizuioyeah I kinda expected more kids; especially as the ninja world is shrinking and more trades skills are being learned. I’d expect Naruto in his older age to be the last Leaf Ninja Hokage.
@@Xaforn its p obvious they are milking as much content. When boruto wa made i doubt they had a legitimate planned out story and are winging it. They cant have too many characters and no one can die so its big mess. It for older fans to watch because of the old characters but its geared for children to get into Naruto in way of Boruto. Most of the new characters are one dimensional and cant hold up close to anyone from OG Naruto. Im not hating on Boruto but its p obvious is a market money continuation with so so story and so so story as people get excited over ships living a normal life with children.
The war afterparty was crazy
Behold: plot convenience.
18:12 I'd go as far to say that in an Era of Peace, spies have far more value than in war time. In order to maintain peace, you need to constantly and COVERTLY monitor your former enemies to ensure that peace stays for as long as possible. Alternatively, counterintelligence is a specialty that I also think that Shino could slip into very well, ensuring that no spies are watching the leaf village. All in all, him being a teacher is pretty silly when you think about it for longer than a second.
I love how Nick is just publicly writing fanfiction by putting together characters in theoretical meet cutes or situations
I always loved the idea of Lee and Sakura
Lee treated her well and is a genuinely decent guy, but Sakura *still* went for the abusive prick, even after he tried to kill her multiple times. Even someone who's truly in love would get shaken out of that after a few times, especially when they've had time to grow as a person, like she did
Sakura put him to sleep in Gokage Kaidan arc together with Kiba and Sai. It was very meanly. Since that time Lee didn't run to Sakura.
Come to think of it, in the 3 year time skip, it's weird Sakura didn't meet and fall for someone else
I’m so pro Saklee. (Aka sakuraxrock lee)
@@saklee1777 I don't normally like these hybrid names for couples, but that one flows so well
It’s so refreshing to hear someone speak about Sasuke and Sakura’s relationship from an angle that isn’t “Sakura is useless, and that’s why their relationship doesn’t make sense”!
I’ve always thought that if Sakura and Ino weren’t the end game, then it was Sakura and Rock Lee. Sakura‘s whole story arc is about her growth in strength. Not just physically, but also her courage, and belief in herself. The two key players in this as both examples, and encouragement were Ino and Lee. Both of them see, and respect this in Sakura; whereas with Sasuke it kind of just goes over his head.
I could talk about this for hours so to make a long story short: We were all deprived.
Sasuke was always aware of how amazing Sakura was. He just didn't openly acknowledge it until the end. Please reread the manga and you will see these moments. Sakura was never interested in Lee in a romantic way and she always got disgusted/irritated when he hit on her. He was not right for her.
Also sakuino being a thing? Lmao what planet do you live on? Did you just ignore that part where they both fought over Sasuke and how Ino flirted with Sai? 😂
I actually kind of like InoSaku... Not because it would ever happen but because IF it did happen, it would make sense, as to how and why, and nobody would really question it because it would be canon. Too bad they are both straight...
@@icasuallyexist i think plenty of people would have questioned it. naruto is not an LGBT+ world. i don't know why that isn't more easily understood. any time it's ever been referenced in the series, it's been treated like a joke. why are the fans so obsessed with exaggerating platonic same sex relationships? same sex marriage is not even legal in japan.
@@koyukihime2669 Just because they are not shown, does not mean LGBT+ relationships do not exist in the Naruto world. We're all talking about headcanons and ships we think make sense, so anything goes. Who's to say that a platonic friendship can't develop into more? Even in the video, there was mention of SasuNaru and KanKiba. Same sex marriage may not be legal, but that doesn't mean LGBT+ people don't exist in Japan, and by a large number as well. So why be bothered?
@@bandotaku and headcanons are just that. They only exist in your head. They aren't real, and don't make more sense than the canon. There is a difference between romantic and platonic relationships in the series and the line between those are blurred too often by fans.
Japan isn't like the west, and Lgbt+ is not as big of a thing there as it is here. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist there, because it does. But Naruto is a shonen series, not shonen-ai/yaoi.
That is clearly not the author's intention, and shouldnt be interpreted as such. If you want those kinds of relationships, go read something else. Plain and simple.
Rin: this is my boyfriend Kakashi, and this is Kakashi’s boyfriend Might Guy
I literally *just* rewatched the Sasuke Retrieval Arc and found myself side-eying KanKiba. Ended up finding a lot more quality content in the fandom for them than I expected, I fully expected it to be crickets but no, literally great quality fics still being written about them in 2023
Outside of Naruto's generation, one of the funniest thing to me that happened was Kakashi's crushes. First of all, Hanare, no matter what anyone tells me, I am convinced that Kakashi had a huge crush on her. And then she turned out to be a criminal. And then again, in Kakashi Hiden, he started crushing on Kahyo, he literally said, "the woman who had his heart" and she also turned out to be a criminal. Kakashi probably has a type 😂 😂
i mean look at Rin she was a host for a dangerous turtle monster Kakshi seems to like his ladies with quite the danger track
Kakashi: "I like bad bitches that's my fucking problem."
People give Naruto too much credit for the Harem Jutsu, Kakashi just had to lower his mask to subdue Kaguya. She might even have given a second go at a human husband, and siding with the earthlings against an attack from her own race.
Ah, I see, I share a type with Kakashi. Red Flags.
@@prakashchandraker4600 Omg, imagine that.. Damn, I want rewrited Naruto, but this one would be must have XD. I kinda like that idea
I still think Naruto needing Sakura to tell him that he wasn’t actually in love with her and being pushed to Hinata was incredibly contrived. That should be something that he realized on his own.
As happy as I was that Hinata got the person she wanted, it kinda sucks when Naruto had to be convinced that he loved her and suddenly she was the light of his life. Just wish there was less of him being the densest goddamn moron on earth in Shippuden.
I thought it was bs
It was not about Naruto needing Sakura to tell him that he was not in love with her.
There is no confusion in his heart, the narrative is not showing a "who do I love" conflict.
It's about Sakura helping him understand that what he felt for Hinata was the real deal when it comes to loving a woman and that there was no reason for him to feel rejected because Hinata's feelings for him were not possible to had changed because Hinata is truly in love with him.
That is what gave Naruto the push to get back on track. The reassurance that Hinata loved him.
Kishimoto wanted that particular scene more for clarification to the audience that Naruto was truly not romantically interested in Sakura, but his crush was based on an immature desire for acknowledgement in relation to his rivalry with Sasuke.
Nobody can deny that Naruto in part 1 and 2 is an adorable, naive and immature boy who's described to not have a clue about a lot of stuff including a proper romantic relationship with a woman. That is the message the movie tried to convey.
I know it's confusing and it was not written in a manner that resonated better to the audience, but it is there at the core of the narrative.
@@amisvega9756 finally some one said it truly his feeling for sakura was not romantic i think he mistook them . Being one of the only females with him he would naturally feel kinda attracted to her . Most of all he wanted someone ' like ' sakura who was as dedicated to love someone . He just wanted to be loved like that although he was quite oblivious but when he realized that hinata was the person who loved him no matter what the reality finally struck him which is basically the whole point of the last . Sakura my girl has been trying to make him realize that since day one .
I mean it doesn't make sense with the fillers that show kid naruto liking hinata cooking for example but then he wants sakura romantically at age 12 mind you....but also it shows girl mature faster and being hell bent on 1 person as a male from day 1 when she disrespects you hates how pervy you are and likes someone else is not healthy and also hinata earned naruto...I think naruto eventually falling for hinata after pain and the war makes sense because neji died for them but the 2 year timeskip was kind odd.....but yes in the movie it was contrived for fanservice because boruto was not going to get popular in the west without a movie to show when naruto and hinata got together since in the manga its skipped over and thrown at the very end in a epilogue and not one person felt naruto loved hinata back...the light novels which kishi approved fixed the sakura sasuke stuff but again ignored the hinata naruto bond for some reason because kishi doesnt get romance so ty tokyo staff has to fix retcon it all...they literally left it in a movie that many didnt see..most people skip fillers....the manga is very condensed and until the war barley has hinata and naruto interact since the invasion of the sand moment in part 1.......even in the manga the pain moment is much smaller than the anime made it....even in the war outside of 4 moments naruto forgets she exists and he still hits on sakura in front of minato because she's like kushina
I still believe Sasuke and Karin having a kid would be the most OP. The natural regrouping of Senju and Uchiha DNA probably has the most potential.
Without a doubt, instead we get sarada, the only Uchiha who EVER needed glasses, good genes Sakura.
@@victorlion4822 Sarada have glasses because of Karin chakra in sasuke and obito had eye problems too
“That child would be might guy on steroids” Had me rolling on the floor 🤣
Shout out to Lady Tsunade for setting the stage for Temari and Shikimaru to get together. always having them work together whenever Temari was in the village. My head canon is that she was trying to ensure the peace between the sand and leaf for future generations. Having one of the top sand shinobi getting with a top leaf official just works too well. Also i'd love to hear who kakashi should've ended up with. I'd say kakashi should've ended up with either Mei (mizukage lady) or even with Might Gai. I think his character could've done well if he found a love interest that isn't an enemy for once. He's kind of like Gaara in that bad luck of love ordeal
Granny be working her Magic.
kakashi and iruka wdu think about that
OH HELL NAW GET THE FUCK OUT WITH THAT GAY KAKASHI STUFF HE DOESNT LIKE EITHER IRUKA OR GUY SO LEAVE HIM THE FUCK ALONE
@@Elis_Nagar I feel like (at least in the anime) it showed kakashi and Iruka having some underlying bad blood. Possibly from the mission that Iruka decided to become an instructor I'm not sure, but they definitely had some beef
@@batman-rq1bc noooiiio but they went to save Naruto together don't crush it for me
Neji didn't need to die for naruto and hinata to get closer, honestly, i feel like it would have been more impactful if Hiashi died and would have been more impactful not just for hinata, but for nejis story arc as well. Neji and hinata both jump in fornt to save naruto, but Hiashi saves them from the death blows, neji is hurt, but its not lethally so and its put him out of battle. so naruto and hinata can still do the hand hold. Hiashi sacrificeing himself for the daughter he saw no hope in, the nephew who resented him (even if the was addressed in part 1) and the boy he saw as a disgrace. i think it would be very impactful to show how much the hyuuga has changed, where its not just duty due to being mainbranch or side branch , but a diffrent kind a of duty, because they are family. And protecting the "king" which is the next generation.I felt like it was very off brand to the story for neji to die like that.
I actually really like this solution. You're so big brained
Wouldn't really work as well considering Naruto doesn't know who that is. Probably should have been iruka instead.
I'd add some icing on top of that. By Hiashi sacrificing himself for Neji, the caged bird seal is activated but in a different way. The seal disappears suddenly and the Byakugan evolves and the very exhausted Neji is given a boost. Naruto doesn't know Hiashi that well but he sees that Hinata is distraught. Naruto and Hinata bond more after the battle is over as he comforts Hinata over the loss of her father, even if their relationship was troubled.
In the aftermath, Hinata and Hanabi set up an election within the clan (really persuade the rest of the clan to choose Neji) so that he can be head like he wanted and they can both be free.
or kishimoto could just write a decent plot bridging the two together without involving anyone DYING
Yeah but, that would just come out of nowhere considering Hiashi never fought in the war.
Sai and Ino happened because of that one scene where Sai complimented her early in Part 2 and Ino was pretty clearly attracted to him.
Also damn, Shino gets Mei. Finally something goes good for that man.
The ‘they can share crop tops’ part for Ino and Sai sent me 😭😭
Naruto and Hinata: *hold hands*
*several episodes later*

I mean, Kushina wanted a wife for naruto like herself :D Sakura would have been the best option :D
Kishimoto was pandering to the NaruSaku crowd. That's what made me lose a load of respect for him as a mangaka. Having to pander to a large, niche minority of the fanbase demonstrated a lack of confidence in his story. Surely if he was confident, he wouldn't have needed to pander to the pairing fans. Maybe a editor noticed how many shipping fans the series had managed to pull in and whispered in Kishimoto's ear to spinkle little NaruSaku/NaruHina moments throughout the manga.
Either way, it was really annoying seeing the occasional shipping tease knowing they weren't gonna amount to nothing but pointless wars throughout the years
@@yuosen8419 Hinata is more like Kushina than Sakura overall. I'll say Kushina is 60% Hinata and 40% Sakura.

Let's be real here: the only people Sasuke and Naruto had chemistry with were each other
10:30 regarding Metal's mother...he referred to Kurotsuchi as "big sister" when the Kage were arriving for the first summit. Could his mom be from the hidden stone? he even has their eye pattern
not necessarily. I think it's more common for people in Japan to refer to people like that, so you see that in anime. Think of Nina calling Edward "Big Brother Ed" in Fullmetal Alchemist
In my head canon choji and ino always looked like they were gonna be a thing. She learned not to be so shallow minded when it came to him and she pushed him to be more assertive it was like they balanced each other out.
Sakura and Lee definitely should’ve been the ship. They could’ve had sasuke return to the village with a child a la Ging from Hunter x Hunter and we could’ve had a whole who’s the mom mystery thing going on.
Isn't same cooperation happened with Shikamaru? Ino also disliked his lazyness at first and than learnt to respect him. It is not a romantic material, it just means to adequate and kind person.
@@alexzero3736 The difference is that Shikamaru already had a better potential partner in Temari. For the longest time, Ino and Choji didn't have anyone else, so the idea of them ending up together seemed nice for some shippers. Besides, they both ended up with partners whom they have zero chemistry with.
@@luluzin5022 he explained Sai with Ino well, Sai is "Sasuke light" and in the novel, Ino going into Sais thoughts she fell in love with. Besides Sai needed love, he was told to surpress his emotions so yeah he deserver a partner.
Omg I'm not alone :D Those were the two main ships I was anticipating to happen that didn't become canon. I also thought KibaHina could have been cute, but I also rooted for NaruHina. In the end, that victory was bittersweet, because they didn't end up being developed well at all. But there was potential.
That’s basically her brother….
It’s like shipping hinata and neji
The girl Kiba is dating is canon. She is in the manga. Sasuke went to her and her grandmother to get supplies before he went to kill itachi. She was also in chapter 700 talking with Kiba. Yet there was no explanation how they met in the manga it was shown in the anime.
Making him gay is a senseless idea
Making him gay with kankuro means literally no sense. Like they absolutely do not match. The whole “ooh but they both SORTA have puppets” is about as strong an argument as “Sakura and sasuke got together because they had a middle part”

I hated how they did Kiba besides he his hot with his long hair. Also when kankuro was poisoned and I seen him with all that bulky clothes off he was looking good too haha. Anyway I would have like them to be together too would be a interesting use of powers
If Karin and Sasuke had a baby, you would have the potential to have a Rinnegan as well as naruto level chakra
What if 😂. She stole saske sperm 😂
Tbh I prefer sasuke to end up with a random woman he meet during his time away from the village after the war considering he is always away from konoha thus having someone who she can bring along his adventure will be a more interesting love story for him
Also biologically speaking since Hiashi and Hizashi are identical twins that means that Hinata and Neji are Half-Brother and Sister, their dad's DNA is identical, the only thing separating them biologically is their mothers, so that would be way too close to continue the bloodline with.
😂😂😂
Eh, half sibling marriages legally cousins probably don't matter as much.
@@juliancain3872 It matters in terms of biology, maybe I have to say this slowly, inbreeding... is... bad
@@JAYDOG1337A It's not me you have to convince. They're legally first cousins, first cousins marrying, while not common anymore, is still legal in Japan. Oddly enough it's still legal in most of the world today. Including 2/3rds of the Americas. Not too sure why though.
@@juliancain3872 technically someone could say there's no way to prove that one of their mothers didn't cheat with the twin of their husband, so they could be said to be actual half-brother and sister, which would make it illegal
I thought Hinata should've moved on like Naruto did about Sakura. I really wanted to see her step into her independence and power. Instead she dropped everything to be a housewife and it just felt like a waste of her whole arc and cool powers.
You dont forget someone who stepped up for you he wasn't just a love interest he was a friend and a role model and not just for her but for many people not me tho still she's a pacifist who was pressured and forced to be a fighter for her clan forced to be married off to some other clan member how the fuck doesn't it make sense she has a peaceful life now you wanted more fights action violence that's not who she is she isn't fit to be a ninja
@@j0an-07-arc6 and I think people tend to forget every woman different some woman like being house wife’s some woman like being independent
She was basically a worse Neji what u on?
How is her getting the thing she always wanted a loss of her independence and power? The comparison to Sakura is wierd, Naruto was always kind and supportive to Hinata, he valued her, and she inspired him at multiple points in his journey to be better, as he did for her. The chunin exams, the pain arc and the a war arc they helped each other be better versions of themselvesm. They both brought out the best in each other, that is
relationship goals right there if you ask me.
YES
Kiba and Kankuro makes a suprising amount of sense, that's a really fun idea for a ship. Also, I can see your idea of Kankuro learning from Akamaru and Kiba leading to a combination of their techniques. I'm picturing some kind of gear the dog nin can wear that allows their human partners to connect with them, track them, and share jutsu normally only human nin could do. (And occassionally use a puppet technique like the one used on Sakura)

For whatever reason I liked the idea behind gaara and ino. As if the idea that those two would watch over shikamaru and temari on their “dates” and ino’s assertive personality could be a good foundation gaara can lean on if he needed it.
Also gaara’s reputation and the fact that his sister and ino’s practically surrogate brother are seeing eachother could be means to get ino interested in getting to know gaara.
I always thought that TenTen and Kankuro would make a good match, they both have a similar specialty in weapons over elemental techniques, they're both the bronze medal when it comes to team popularity, and I feel they'd be able to sass each other in an adorable way if given the chance
TenTen and Kankuro were my second pick for TenTen. First is TenTen and Sasuke after TenTenxNeji doesn't work out since Neji's dead. It would have been cool if TenTen went single to the start of Boruto and Sasuke does as well but then later circumstances allows them to get together.
@@playathesaints9599 probably would've been a better relationship since TenTen wouldn't mindlessly take Sasuke's shit cuz of a childhood crush
Hell yes, I always thought that Tenten and Kankuro would be a better couple, based on their specialties and personalities, she wouldn’t need to be watered down to suit Kankuro’s personality, because they’re both comical personalities, where Neji is too traditional for a modern woman like Tenten, and she’d always be in his shadows, being diluted to being like Hinata, just so shippers can pair her with Neji. Kankuro just works, but that’s just me.
@@planetchelliwood not just you, I agree 100%
And by Shippuden they both use scrolls. In one of the Ninja Storm games Tenten actually uses chakra threads to move a giant flail ball as her ultimate jutsu so she possibly uses threads as well. Their kid could be pretty powerful with all kinds of weapons, puppets, poison, threads. Maybe not in your face power but definitely tactical and versatile with the sheer number of things they have stored in scrolls.
I think its funny that Sai's 1st compliment to Ino was because he learn from getting hit by Sakura that you shouldn't say exactly what you mean, so he said the opposite which in turn made Ino's heart flutter
Look for a note able trait... Look for a notable trait... Ah, she's ugly, wait that's a insult, uhhh screw it just say the opposite
It worked phenomenally
As a character who's highly ace/aro coded, I prefer the idea of Shino being alone to coming up with a hidden reason why he's never shown interest in a relationship. That just feels like erasure to me. I am, on the other hand, very open to the idea of several different options for close platonic friendships with him that you just never see. Kankuro, Tenten, and even Sasuke are prime candidates for the low-key bromances that I see working for Shino, and I have put thought to all of those.
"Also they can share crop tops" got me Laflin😂
Fucking thank yooooooou. I enjoyed the whole video but Sakura and Lee not ending up together always felt like a huge missed opportunity! The two compliment each other so well narratively and they had a mutual respect thing going for each other as the characters developed. I mean just think about it, you’re Sakura - you’ve grown as a person, you’ve got this (absolutely shredded) hardworking dude you know who you’ve worked with since you were kids who’s also grown as a person. He’s always treated you with respect and even though when he was an awkward pre-teen he was a little over the top with his declarations of affection, he never tried to like, FORCE you to like him. Something clicks when you realize that he’d never just leave you alone all the time like Sasuke - a person you’ve grown out of liking because like - that’s what people do as they grow up. You can make peace with Sasuke as a friend eventually, but there’s a much better option for romance - and it’s the shredded, kindhearted, taijutsu master with a choppy bowl cut and a great smile. Would’ve been the GOAT of couples.
and i love the idea that rock Lee being a doting husband to sakura
@@marli4442 yes! Sakura wasnt so serious until the end of Shippuden. Like early Naruto she would PRETEND to be a soft young lady but inside she had a fiery passion loudmouth as well with how she treated Naruto. That should have been embraced!

Saved KankuKiba for the end…a man of taste
the last one is always the best
Last comment literally made my day 🤣 Whatever but seriously everyone agrees that Naruto and Sasuke made much more sense than their alleged partners whatsoever and gender doesn't justify anything!! Team Naruto and Sasuke ❤
It would have been so easy to write a compelling SasuSaku story. Kishimoto would only have to sprinkle one or two moments in shippuden where Sasuke avoids harming Sakura and boom, it would read as chemistry even though they don't have any (and obviously not do the stabing scenes, they were irrelevant).
Instead we had to look for crumbs of development in the novels for their relationship to make sense, and this is AFTER they're already together as a couple. I know most of the time japanese couples form by confessing attraction and while dating they start to get to know each other and develop a romantic dynamic, but this is not the case for SasuSaku either, they go from trying to kill each other to being pregnant and then trying to be kind of cute to one another.
Kishimoto clearly always hated Sakura and ending up with Sasuke was the ultimate punishment for her. This guy is sick.
Eh i don't know about him hating sakura lol more of his inability to write good romance and female characters. He definitely planned for sasuke to end up with sakura but doesnt know how to incorporate that to the main storyline.
@@cyphertongueNaruto has more screen time with sakura than hinata so sakura and Naruto were supposed to happen hinata barley exists in the manga it because of fillers and kishimoto can write a female characters he give sakura her best arc and fight and tusnade chojy as well the problem with sakura is the anime and especially fillers that hate comes since most people are watching the anime she is completely different in the manga she is not perfect but not terrible kishimoto give her best arc so he can give her something but because of hate the editor probably told him to stop
I really loved that Shino decided he wanted to pass on knowledge to the next generation instead of hunting it out himself, it really fit his character, Shino always gave me the vibe of someone who doesn't really like to fight, and with the villages in peace time, there would be a much smaller need for reconnaissance. And, considering that like, half of the Konoha twelve has abilities that lend themselves pretty well to that end, it makes sense for one of the more pacifistic(using that word VERY lightly lol) to become a teacher.
I read all of that my head hurts
Shino is strong af he's one of the only aburame capable of handling there most advanced deadliest bugs every but he denied the chance saying its too much and it doesn't fit him since they're so deadly. Like a dude saying no to a gun and just besting the hell out of everyone
Part 1 shino was bloodlusted. Even changed the sand siblings to fight the puppet guy. Part 2 I agree tho.
That's my favorite part of his character though, he's strong enough to control the Aburame clan's most deadly insects but do you know why he doesn't? He doesn't agree, to use them would be to go against his principles. People grow and change and Shino only got more and more gentle the older he got. I love that for him 🥰
Doesn’t like to fight?? He literally tracked Kankuro down after he forfeit the chunnin exams not even for the sake of a mission but purely for smoke…and he was pissed off when they didn’t take him on the Sasuke retrieval mission, Shino bout that life lol
i love that you give the aburames so much love. i feel so seen and understood after telling people for years about the insanely under-utilised potential of their clan with shino in particular.
So true. I love Shino he’s so cool, such a stoic

It bothers me to no end how conceptually broken the self harming 8 gates and the self healing 100 Healings seal would be together. I've been watching the OG lately and I noticed how the basic setup for Sakura going down that route ultimately was put down.
Then Lee got put on a bench in favor of Guy (not entirely a bad thing) and Sakura never interacted with either of them in a meaningful way. She could have had a game breaker power and a respectful conclusion to her character arc but just couldn't let go of a middle school crush that led to an abusive relationship and being a single mom.

That's like saying sarada knows medical ninjutsu cause she is sakuras daughter but she dont
100 healings to make you survive the 8 gates…
@@LoganGRx7 true that
Y medical ninjutsu is great and all but Eight Gates + Sakura's strength would 100% be the physically strongest ninja
"Used her like a senzu bean" I just laughed for like 2 minutes straight.
😂 same here I had to replay to made sure I heard it right haha
One thing I always can’t help to think about when hearing about Shikadai. Is one fact about the Sand Village is it runs if a monarchy, not a democracy. Gaara isn’t Kazekage because he was voted for, he’s Kazekage because he’s the kid of the previous Kazekage, as was the Kazekage before that. It’s bloodline. And while Shinki is Gaara’s kid, he’s adopted. He’s not of Sand Royal Blood.
But you know who IS valid for next in line for Kazekage? Shikadai! If a king does not produce a valid heir, a valid heir born of the king’s siblings would be the next, and as far as we know, Kankuro doesn’t have kids, so by Birthright, the prince of the Sand Village, next Kazekage if Gaara bites it without getting some, is Shikadai Nara!
And that isn’t touched upon as much as it needs to be!
without getting some 😅
I'm somewhat stating the obvious here but Shikadai's ninjutsu abilities are also literally kaze + kage.
The thing is, even in real monarchies, if a woman married someone from another country, her children couldn't become king, because she entered the other family. For example, if the first princess of Portugal married the Prince-heir of France, or the Dauphin as he was called before, her child would become the king of France, not Portugal.
Also, there's nothing implying the Fourth Kazegake to be the child of the Third Kazekage AFAIK. Given how other villages seem to work, like Mu choosing Ohnoki or Mei choosing Choujuro and Ay choosing Darui, it's implied the role of Kage is chosen. Also, Konoha showed that the Daimyou of the land makes the final choice, so maybe it's like that in other villages too.
I mean...
Hashirama, his brother(potentially his best friend, madara), their student, His student's student(potentially his other student, orochimaru), Then back to #3 with his student AGAIN(potentially his other student, jiraiya) and then back to #4 with his student, then his student. And then #7's best friend. The leaf village is sort of similar.
Hashirama, Tobirama, Hiruzen, Minato, Tsunade, Kakashi, Naruto, and Shikamaru are all in someway connected.
@jackeyesteon9427 , implying that in order to become a Hokage, you need to be the previous Hokage's student, or at least be a God (at least, as close to a God as you can get in the Naruto universe where everyone is a powerhouse). The system of power in Naruto's universe is unbalanced, cause when everyone is special, who then truly stands out?
The thing about the main canon Naruto couples was: I actually shipped NaruHina and SasuSaku when I started Naruto. When I was TWELVE yes, back then the anime was just up to Jiraiya’s death in Shippuuden!
I feel that back then, the two ships actually made sense...but strangely enough, the “character development” was what pulled them apart.
NaruHina - I feel like young Naruto liked strong, independent women (yes, like his mom) which was why he was so drawn to Sakura back then. Hinata was the shy, awkward girl, but what should’ve happened in this narrative is - she comes out of her shell and stand up for what she believes in. Which DID happen, during the Chunin exams vs Neji, then the Pain battle where she almost died defending Naruto. Naruto noticed her both times BUT Kishi failed to follow up with that, and Hinata’s character was back to square one. Then The Last Movie sealed my hatred for the couple when they retconned the childhood memories, made Hinata into a Mary sue princess, and ignored all the other Konoha 12 who should’ve shined in the final movie.
For SasuSaku - I think young Sakura (and Ino) liked Sasuke in the academy because on the surface level, he was the cool, straight A student. Hence why she made the mistake of calling out Naruto for being an orphan, and made Sasuke pissed. I think her story should’ve been her learning to love and support the Sasuke who was flawed and confused from his trauma, which I think was well done when she helped him calm down in the Chunin exam when he got the cursed mark. But in the end when Sasuke left the village and later was branded a criminal, it was Sakura who wanted to “kill” him, instead to trying to understand or help him like Naruto did. Which is why the older me feels that her feelings hold no candle to Naruto’s feelings for Sasuke. As for Sasuke himself, I can see him having a normal relationship in the original Naruto, but he was so far gone with hatred and revenge in the later half of Shippuden that I think no romance entered his head at all, the only person he remotely cared about was Naruto. Nobody else had a chance, not even Karin who was the girl closest to him, whom he used like a tool.
Anyway, I’m all past all that now, I find that I’d rather ship a gay couple that had chemistry in a show than whatever stale ship canon gives me. Hence why a decade later, I came to realize NaruSasu was the superior ship lmfao.
Lmao. I read the whole thing and I agree.
I like Naruto and Hinata but kishimoto failed to convinced me. Until the last moment, I think naruto still have feelings for sakura which hinders the ship for me.
Sasuke and Sakura . It feels weird and awkward to me. Does sasuke even love sakura? Even their Daughter is not convinced lmao
Agreed. If you rewatch/read the whole series there's stuff between them that would make them a great couple. And for the people who hates LGBT if you changed naruto or sasuke into a female 100% their chemistry with each other would have made you wish they were a couple.
@@meikisaragi1445 tons of people say that sasuke and sakura's ship began to blossom in sasuke's light novel which I believe was based on after shippuden. I don't read light novel's but the hardcore fans of sasuke and sakura keep yelling at people to read it.
I do hate SasuSaku with a passion, but naruhina I didn't mind. I prefer naruhina and LeeSaku over ships like SasuSaku, NaruSaku, NaruSasu (I see em as brothers). I wish Naruhina and LeeSaku got more time to develop and blossom in the show. They are possibly my favorite ships in the series but were underutilized. Well..at least naruhina got a whole movie for eachother..so it's something I guess.😅
i don't know if it's fair to blame sakura for things she didn't know or didn't understand. if anything, she was way more forgiving and understanding of sasuke than he deserved. when he left the village she wanted him to open up but he wouln't let anyone in. i mean he didn't have to tell her, but at least she tried. later on in shippuden she wasn't aware of the bigger picture so it was obviously gonna be hard for her to understand sasuke completely however she was one of the few people who never really gave up on him, she always had hope.
Something you didn't mention when talking about a potential relationship between Sakura and Rock Lee is her mastery of chakra control, she could try to teach Lee or their child to have a better/perfect chakra control, making them FAR stronger than they could ever be without it.
Why did he continue to say “powerful child” like think about the relationship not the power that the child possesses
Maaaan, I love this. I've been waiting for a video like this forEVER.
LeeSaku was the very first Naruto ship I actually shipped hardcore for a while. I'm glad to see someone else sharing my sentiment.
Its a good ship better than sasusaku
SAME OMG I loved them so much...
@@bakuraxzit’s better than leeten and naruhina not sasusaku
I was always a NaruSaku type but they were deft second choice. Lee is just so GOOD, he smokes Sasuke in every way that matters. And thematically those two would have been a union of two regular non super special awesome bloodline/demon/reincarnation people that rose above on hard work and dedication and that would have been a great dynamic.
@@ChesireWaltz I respect your opinion but I don’t think so at all bec sakura had always loved sasuke never showed any signs about liking someone else except a lil bit to only naruto if this ship happened it won’t make sense at all it will only increase sakura’s hate that she’s also a player
I always thought a good pairing for Gaara was Matsuri. Before Kishimoto completely turned her into a Gaara fan girl she was the first person in the Hidden Sand (excluding his family and sensei) to accept him and was willing to be his student even knowing his reputation. She also had a steady relationship with him because he was her teacher for a while
THIS! I found the suggestion of Gaara and Maki kinda weird because they never had ANY imteraction. But Gaara and Matsuri did have interaction and a steadily growing friendship all the way up to the war.
Gaara is so not interested in this whole thing and I'll forever see him as somewhere on the aromantic and asexual spectrum. He has his connections and just doesn't need a romantic partner.
I think that couple would be so weird. This would be like a teacher/student relationship and just wouldn't feel right...
@@missiviolett4818 there literally the same age.
@@davonchill2akory224 Read again. I didn't say it is about age🙄
Naruto and Sakura's relationship had the most development throughout the series IMO and it is downright criminal that they did not end up together.
The way that Naruto and Sakura ended up having their big embrace moment after the Pain fight while Hinata simply looked on with a smile very heavily implied that NaruSaku was endgame and that Hinata was accepting it.
One "crack" ship that would have made sense in place of the ones we got would have actually been Hinata and Sasuke. I know it sounds insane but there are a few reasons why I think this ship would work:
1) Hinata is the only eligible woman among our main cast that Sasuke has not insulted or directly harmed. These two have grown up in the same village, were in the same academy class and Sasuke visualized Hinata (alongside the other Konoha 12) when complaining about Itachi's death. Meaning they are, at least, acquainted with one another as former classmates. All that to say, their relationship would start off at a neutral point with no negative "he tried to kill her" or "he hated her before" baggage.
2) Kishimoto once confirmed in an interview that if a Byakugan user and a Sharingan user have a kid, the child would get both dojutsu. This would be a much better and more natural way to introduce the development of a new dojutsu (Byakugan and Sharingan combined - Byakusharingan) than whatever is going on with Boruto.
3) Hinata and Sasuke have a lot in common. Both come from noble ninja clans possessing rare eye jutsu that others try to steal. Both had strict, overbearing fathers who held them to standards far above average for their age (Hiashi was complaining about Hinata's fighting technique when she was only 3 years old while Sasuke's father was upset that he was struggling to learn the fireball jutsu despite Kakashi stating that such a technique was supposed to be too advanced for genin and Sasuke had not even graduated the Academy yet when his father had him training). Both had genius older sibling figures (Neji and Itachi) who were once antagonistic towards them but died on good terms and were at least partially responsible for training them. Both are generally quiet people who keep to themselves, albeit for different reasons (Hinata is shy, Sasuke doesn't care to talk to people).
4) Although they have a lot in common, they are different enough to compliment one another. Hinata's kind and compassionate nature would balance out Sasuke's generally curt and indifferent personality. Similarly, Sasuke's confidence and pride would balance out Hinata's insecurities.
5) SasuHina could have been integrated naturally into the story via The Last movie far more interestingly than NaruHina was. To give a sample set up, imagine this:
Sasuke comes back from his atonement journey, Naruto and Sakura invite him out to eat with the other Konoha 12. As they hit the town, Naruto is swarmed by fans and given adoring cheers while Sasuke is constantly receiving dirty looks and sly comments. A complete reversal of how things were before Sasuke abandoned the village. Now he is the outcast while Naruto is the popular guy. At dinner, everyone is having fun hanging out while Sasuke sits to himself feeling like the 13th wheel. It's been seven years since he has really spent time with these people and everyone has changed. He almost feels like he's sitting with strangers and since everyone is used to him not being around, they hardly pay him in any mind. He tries to ask Naruto or Sakura about something he knew they liked when they were 12 only to be informed that they no longer like that item, further emphasizing how far he has drifted apart from them. Having enough attempts as socializing, Sasuke slips away from the table with no one really taking notice as they are too busy having a good time.
Sasuke takes a walk on the town, getting more sly comments and dirty looks aimed towards him as a traitor to the leaf.
An hour or so later, his walk eventually leads him to the old training grounds where he finds Hinata practicing her taijutsu. He interrupts and asks if he could spar with her, mentioning that he never did get an opportunity to fight against Neji in the chunin exams. They do a little sparring before Hinata eventually realizes the time and remarks that she needs to get home to do some clan duty stuff. Ideally, Neji's death would spark Hinata's ambition and she is going to be the next head of the Hyuga clan, planning to change how it runs for the sake of her dear cousin's memory. Sasuke offers to walk her home and they chat a bit.
Ideally the main antagonist would be those Madara supporters (instead of Toneri) and the focus would shift to Naruto and Sakura finally getting together with Sasuke and Hinata becoming good friends. Thus making the time jump, when they are married more believable. Some plot points could include Hinata encouraging Sakura's feelings for Naruto as Hinata accepted after the Pain arc that she only wants Naruto to be happy - even if it is not with her. Sasuke and Naruto could talk about their role swap in the eyes of the village and we could really dive into Sasuke regretting ever leaving Konoha to begin with.
The big mission to help save the village from Madara supporters could have Team 7 with Hinata added as a tracker since they're trying to hunt someone specifically down. Maybe the Madara supporters have been kidnapping ninja or civilians and they want to find his base or something. This would give the two couples bonding time etc.
TL:DR, NaruSaku and SasuHina should have been endgame. Narratively, it would have been more interesting and would have given way to the next generation having unique attributes (byakusharingan) that are more naturally grafted into the story.
Stop reading fanfiction. Sasuke didn't interact with Hinata at all. In the novel, he said about her that she is an extremely uninteresting person. About Sakura that she is a dear person, the smartest, that she is his spring light and his feeling of love, that Sakura is a reminder of the old days and his family. . And Hinata, suitable for Naruto, boobs, ramen and Naruto-kun.
just no
@@solyasolya4519 sasuke also attacks sakura several times. so i guess you're into that too
@@min-fel Of course I like it.
This is a story about ninjas. Here, killing for the sake of one's own idea is normal. Let me clarify: Sakura ALWAYS attacked first. He defended himself.
Moreover, Sasuke wanted to kill and left Naruto without an arm. How he wanted to kill many others. He wanted to destroy the entire village.
Because I was under the curse of hatred.
I liked your thoughts and the reasoning behind them. People get too caught on ships and don’t like to even imagine what other ships could’ve been like or even pose hypotheticals. Doing so won’t destroy the canon ship so why does it bother them so much?? It’s just speculation, it’s supposed to be fun!
Thank you. Neji and Tenten just deserved to be together.
Sasuke and Naruto had more chemistry, development, and progression than either of them had with their eventual romantic partners. (If you can even call it that with Sakura and Sasuke.)
That's not me being a yaoi fan girl. It's just me being like Kishimoto does not understand romance.
He did not take the time to make the relationships with their female partners feel believable, especially not with Sakura and Sasuke.
As expected of a Shonen, romantic relationships can take a side road, especially given the story of them being basically cursed reincarnations
@@Xaforn But there's a difference between something being completely ignored and something being earned. Sasuke and Sakura have like two conversations without Naruto, then they talk like one on one when she tries to kill him, once when he tries to kill her twice, and then he fucks off and then the next thing we're being fed is that Sasuke loved her all long. Like come on. I may not like how Hinata and Naruto got together but there was at least SOMETHING attempted to layer them being together. Sasuke and Sakura get none of that.
That was my problem waaaaaay back in the day with YuGiOh! The female characters don't get a lot of character and relationship development, so when there is a moment that makes you want to ship people, it's with two dudes. The main two dudes. The female characters might as well be cardboard. And what didn't help Naruto and Sasuke was the fact that they kissed once. If this were any other show, they would end up together. It felt like Kishimoto did it as a joke and thrn once enough people took it seriously, he started to try and back pedal.
And again, same thing with YuGiOh! The ships that are the strongest from that show are to do with the guys that get the screentime. You can make the girls as beautiful or kind or whatever, but that's one facet of a person. We see a million sides to our guy characters so it is easier to see a fully formed realtionship between the two of thrm then one of them with the big boobied kind-hearted lady.
So I think at the end of it all, Kishimoto has no one yo blame but himself for the SasuNaru shippers. The plot devices and tropes he laid out were leading people there, then when he changed his mind he didn't put enough time into those other characters and relationships to make them as sensational as SasuNaru. But then again, fans are ravenous and will ship anyone with everyone, so what do I know. 😅
@@sophieamandaleitontoomey9343 I mean Sasuke loved Sakura always, i don't think it was romantic but for example when Naruto and Sasuke fights against Gaara Sasuke told Naruto that he doesn't want an important close friend to die meaning Sakura was trapped by Gaara, and when he thinks about staying or leaving the village Naruto and Sakura is on his mind showing us he cared for her and she was a close person to him before he left. I agree that Kishimoto should have done a better work with these two in Sippuuden and after the war, like make a short series on how they actually get together or something
@@lilifonyad8657 Saying "Sasuke always loved Sakura" without really scenes or otherwise to back it up is not good enough. It's not enough to say that and not show it. It's not like Sakura and Sasuke couldn't have worked but you have to earn it. There is like one scene before he leaves where I'm like "okay. there could have been potential here." But other than that, there is BARELY anything that supports a change in Sasuke's feelings for Sakura and it is even worse in Shippudden when he tries to kill her twice.
I’ve never read the Naruto light novels, so I didn’t know Gaara had a love interest, that didn’t work out. I always head cannoned him as being either asexual, or aromantic. Because he never got with anyone, and he ended up adopting a kid, instead of having one of his own with a unknown mother, like rock lee and metal lee. He was also my favorite character growing up, and I’m asexual myself ,so I feel like their was a reason I liked his character so much.
Same He is also my fav character! 😂😊
Yeah, he only wanted to get married as atradition but she loved someone else, i think he is asexual, hes also my fave
I think it was more that the Hidden Sand elders wanted him to get married so they have an heir in the Kazekage clan moreso then Gaara being in love himself.
@@cuthip especially with the princes that went and got married to a foriqner, it's mentioned that they are afraid that should something happen to gaara, with kankoro apparently being sidelined due to him not having kids, temari would inherit but if she where to pass then a leaf ninja would optain the title of kazekage (it's given down as an monarchy)
same here
The "Sasuke shouldn't be with anyone" idea is SO TRUE honestly (and this is coming from a long time sasunaru shipper XD) He would make a bad partner to anyone and I don't even think he ever wanted that kind of love. I honestly see him as asexual. Him just trying to find meaningful, heathy friendships would be enough for him. Although I do kinda like him being this hermit wondering the world that everyone knows about, like he's a living legend and that could be his legacy. Maybe he takes on a student very decade or so to pass on some knowledge though
My Ideal Pairings:
- Naruto/Kurotsuchi (Always thought that the perception of Minato in Iwa would have been an interesting angle. Imagine a Kage romance in a sequel series to Shippuden, where Naruto reckons with the stubborn new Tsuchikage. Could’ve been more epic than NaruHina, which kinda felt forced to me tbh)
- Gaara/Sakura (Sakura would be the ideal ambassador to Suna because she was Tsunade’s pupil and Kakashi’s student. She also saved Kankuro’s life and bonded with Chiyo. Gaara has the cool attitude that she loved in Sasuke but also the kindness that she craves. And Gaara has mad chemistry with people with hotheaded personalities like Naruto)
- Shikamaru/Temari (The build-up proves that Kishimoto CAN write romance naturally, and yet decided not to do so for any other pairing in the show)
- Neji/Tenten (Neji should not have died in such a shoehorned way. Either give us a meaningful death or none at all. Why did he have to die just because Kishimoto couldn’t involve Hinata in the plot before the end of the War Arc?! It’s ridiculously cheap. Him rising above his previous arrogance and falling for his arguably kinda weak teammate with no clan just feels right)
- Lee/Ino (I always sorta liked this one. It’s not one of my favorites, but I like it better than Ino/Sai. The idea of Ino developing from a shallow girl who chases after a jerk like Sasuke to someone who appreciates loyalty and enthusiasm and kindness, even when it comes with green spandex and a bowl cut, just sounds good to me. And Rock Lee having a “straight man” to temper and ground him just sounds entertaining tbh. I also just kinda want Rock Lee to be happy; he deserves it)
(Don’t really ship people like Sasuke, Choji, Shino, Kiba, Kankuro, Hinata, etc. I just don’t find that they really have the potential for ideal ships in the show)
Do you even understand what you have written? These are the worst ships I have read from this comment section.
You are to much into fanfics bro.
@@johntoil5505 I don’t read fanfics, actually. And I think my reasons for liking these pairings are far better than the canon reasons. In canon, Naruto falls for Hinata because…she’s in love with him and she’s pretty. Not because she’s always been his biggest supporter or anything. How romantic.
Or let’s talk about Sasuke/Sakura. Sakura loves him because…he’s a pretty, angsty boy. And he loves her because…she’s obsessed with him and is the only girl around willing to marry a terrorist. How romantic.
I hardly think that my ships are the “worst”. You didn’t even give one reason why they’re bad, either. Until you do, your claim is kinda weak.
As nejiten shipper since elementary school, I was so pissed off that my otp is sacrificed for the messiness of the main characters love-square (narusasusakuhina)
I remember watching all the fillers and then being surprised why Naruto didn’t know shino after multiple missions and why Shino was suddenly so weak compared to his pears given he was one of the strongest pre time skip
When was Shino weak on Shippuden? Dude barely had screen time in part 2 even with filler. And Shino covering his face was why Naruto didn’t recognize him 3 years later.
@@clouddavis he had some missions and Naruto could not even remember his name after being reminded multiple times. He isn’t super weak in Shipuden, but in OG he was one of the strongest of his age and in Shipuden he was around tenten level or probably even lower given her feats in the war arc with hagoromos weapons
Naruto and Shino were never that close, Naruto in the Ninja Academy only hang out with Shikamaru,Choji and Kiba. But in the most part of his childhood life he was alone.
@@RNvideosedits Never Said they were close but they did missions together. It was just filler not canon but when I first watched it I was surprised
Shino being one of the strongest pre time-skip and OG Naruto and then suddenly the weakest during Boruto was probably because, maybe that's all there is to his jutsu.
Maybe he has reached the peak effectivity and power level of his jutsu earlier than most, while the others are still struggling with training.
