then naruto would have ended like:
gaara x ino
raikage x tsunade
C x hinata
darui x samui
mabui x shikamarus dad
sai x konan x yamato
lee x tenten NTR on neji
rin is revived as an adult and dates gai to piss kakashi off.
i could fathom naruhina if dude was straight. i get that shonen male leads have to be clueless when it comes to chicks but kishi overdid it and to top it off he makes him blatantly gay for sasuke.
if it wasn’t for that development i would ship naruhina too.
Kishi made a whole movie about them and their pairing to fix his mistake and if he hadn’t I would think this pairing as practically a crack pairing but I get your reasoning. Knowing what I know now, I would make Kushina or Kurenai and Bee a thing in addition to the pairings mentioned earlier.
it was something that definitely needed fixing even from a neutral point of view. sakura fans got a raw deal but thats how the game goes. i had an idea for kushina before. given the current workload i may have to use her sparingly. but there will be more of her from us soon.
