The Fox and The Bunny (NaruHina)

Guys, don't forget NaruHina.

Cheerful, outgoing Naruto and shy, kind Hinata; the ultimate couple!
Don't you think they work well together? Naruto must overcome his crush, because it's only a crush!

Naruto wants to become Hokage to gain everyone's acknowledgment, since most people think of him as an annoying outcast, the Kyuubi's vessel. But Hinata's always admired him, always acknowledged and loved him for who he is. Who better for Naruto than Hinata?

true! She's always loved him, always been devoted to him! As soon as he acknowledges her love, maybe he can realize that he loves her to!

As Jacob said in Eclipse, "An unconditional love like that... is hard not to return." Or something like that. Yeah, Hinata's not a warewolf that imprinted on Naruto, but her love is pretty unconditional. Naruto and Hinata totally compliment each other. And Naruto really needs someone to anchor him and someone who can keep him calm. Hinata could totally do that, and she wouldn't even have to try.

Hell yesh. This pairing does not get as much attention as Sasusaku. Some people even go to the point of saying that "NaruHina will only be a side effect of SasuSaku". Completely untrue and absolutely ridiculous. That's why I try to give it a lot of love!

If only Kishimoto-sensei would give us more Hinata-time. TT_TT Of course, he tends to only pay attention to the main characters, yes? Apparently that's all that matters (but I won't get in to that).

Yes. Hinata and Naruto aren't just together because Sakura and Sasuke are togehter. They do actually belong together. They aren't slapped together for no reason.

Yes, but Hinata is getting a bit of screen time, currently. Well, not CURRENTLY, because Itachi and Sasuke are taking up the chapters, but she is actually with Naruto and a few others, where Tobi is, and the chapters will eventually go back to that fight.

yeah definetly.
You know, if I remember correctly, Naruto actually protects Hinata a lot to (like how Shika always holds Ino when she does her shadow posseesion jutsu)!

Your right, you know the saying "opposites attract," well, NaruHina is a perfect exmple of that!

Hm... I THINK he does. Oh! Yes. A good example of him protecting her was during the prelims for the Chuunin exams, while/after Neji beat the crap out of her, and almost killed her. From what I remember, Naruto was pretty stinking pissed. I think he almost started fighting Neji right then and there, didn't he? And during the Chuunin exam finals, didn't he say something about Hinata when he was fighting Neji? He was really mad at Neji for hurting Hinata so badly, and Neji was the first main-ish character that Naruto went all Kyuubi on. There's something right there to show those people who don't beleive in NaruHina.

Yes, NaruHina is a perfect example of "opposites attract"! In fact, most of our favorite main Naruto pairings are! At least, from the Konoha side. ShikaIno is a beautiful example of said saying, and so is SasuSaku. NejiTen is a little bit like that, considering how serious Tenten can be, but she's mostly energetic and happy, so I suppose it's another example!

You keep finding examples. *waves hand*

Here, I have a good NaruHina essay for you guys. It's called "Believe: A Naruto/Hinata Manifesto", by x_darkhope_x and oniraitei.

http://community.livejournal.com/ship_manifesto/157549.html

Read it. Even if you don't have time, read it.

Wow... I read some of that manifesto. That's hard core. No one in their right mind could refuse that. I didn't see a single hole anywhere, and I was reading from an Anti-NaruHina point of view (So I could test it for holes).

More people should write things like that on defense of other pairings, like ShikaIno!

Naruhina is one of my favorite parings. I dont know why but I just like it so much

I personally like Naruhina quite a bit. Mainly because Hinata is so earnest about Naruto. She likes pretty much everything about him, even if he's making a fool of himself. And Hinata is so detiremend to gain Naruto's attention, even though he pays so much attention to Sakura. *sigh* Naruto and Hinata need more tender moments!!!!!!

I agree, cf_chan.

Natuto and Hinata actually have been quite lucky in the sense that their relationship has gotten some development and was actually almost featured for a part of the Chuunin Exam.

Of course, KISHIMOTO ISN'T GOING TO DO THAT ANYMORE, NO SIREE! HE'S TOO BUSY WITH SAUCY THE JERKARSE TRAITOR.

NaruHina is my favorite pairing in Naruto<3 they are meant for each other and like you guys have said Kishimoto has shown a few hints at their relationship. there's really not much more to say other than im glad this thread was created!

EAR EAR YEA! WHAT PEN SAID!

I just got the book where Naruto and Hinata see each other for the first time in Shippuuden. I forgot how cute that part is. I nearly died. <3

KISHI SHOULD SHIP THEM. WE ALL KNOW SAKURA STILL LOVES SAUCY.

He should be more of a feminist, too. I MEAN REALLY. He pretends he is, (TSUNADE/SAKURA/TEMARI) but he's not fooling anyone. HE PICKS FAVORITES, THAT'S ALL!

The pairing just oozes adorableness. There's really no other way to describe it.

INDEED FAI_RE. NARUHINA IS TOO AMAZING FOR KISHI TO IGNORE IT AS HE HAS BEEN. MORE NARUHINA KISHI!!!! MOAR!!!!!

He really does. He gives a lot more credit to male characters. And the female characters are just as important Kishi!

They'd be so fluffy and Naruto would feel so PERVERTED after doing anything slightly sketchy to her, he'd probably die. Hinata's just too adorable; even Naruto wouldn't be able to do anything gross to her.

*SLAPS KISHIMOTO*

I wish he weren't such a sexist bastard. It's bloody obvious he thinks men are better than women. Anyone who thinks that needs help, and a good lecture. And maybe a slap or a bullet to the brain.

Yeah only some her sick perverted fanboys (not calling you sick or perverted Pen) would ever imagine doing stuff like that to somebody so darn cute.

BEAT HIM TO DETH WITH A CHUUUUURRRRRRRROOOOOOO!!!

I hope when you say "A slap or a bullet to the brain" you don't mean you'd shot him in the brain OR slap him in the brain. Brain-slapping is a bit strange, even for you Fai_re

Well, if Kishimoto wasn't Kishimoto, we'd be seeing a lot more from Hinata. I continue to believe there is more to her being than the man chooses to illustrate.

I hope we just see more general Naurto development from Kishi (especially on Hinata's part). EVEN IN THE DATA BOOK he doesn't give us enough information. He creates things that need explanations that will probably never get one. MORE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT KISHIMOTO!!!!!!!!!

You strike a good point, friend. Could you even list the number of characters he needs to develop? I would have liked to see a few more interactions between Naruto and Hinata without her fainting. Kishi is overexaggerating that.

Kishimoto's exagerration on Hinata's part sickens me. I think it's possible for sweet little Hinata to talk to Naruto for five six or more minutes without turning the color of Sasori's hair and passing out.

NICEEEEE COMPAIRISON! *ting*

Yeah, like where's the development? I think that if Kishi were to lighten up on that, our adorable Hinata would be a great match for NARUUUTO.

WOO TWO POINTS FOR CF_CHAN!!!

I think the pairing could grow that much more if the two of them would have one conversation where Hinata didn't stutter and blush and be all dizzy. A conversation where they actually get to know each other.
