Rant about Naruto and Hinata’s ship
I will forever ride hard for NaruHina but yeah based on how the story develops it makes more than sense for Naruto and Sakura to be endgame.
I will delude myself into believing their marriage/relationship is meant to teach about first love and second love.
I know that as the protagonist everything should technically work in his favor. The hint of reality that not everything will go as you planned no matter how much you work, deserve it, or will end up with who you want gets hit on the head.
Sakura was a great comrade and friend to Naruto and a great person overall, makes sense why Naruto would love her.
Naruto did everything he could in his power to keep her happy and help her in every which way he could, laid down his life for her, professed his love to her and everyone who would listen, Naruto did everything someone would without a doubt would fall in love, especially having true love for her.
However, just because someone shows you genuine love and care it doesn’t obligate you or your heart to reciprocate those feelings.
It sucks.
I’ve personally been there.
But guess what, I fell in love with someone who loved me for years and years and showed me nothing but love, respect, and a great friendship even though I rejected them countless times in the past and now we’re married!
At a point you have to get up and go where you are loved the way you want to be loved, there’s no crime in it. There’s only so much you can do but it always takes two to tango. You can’t force someone to love you just because you go above and beyond for it.
I think that’s why I’m so attached to this specific fictional relationship because in reality it’s very possible to occur in real life and it has for me.
Loving someone after your first love or being heartbroken a ton of times doesn’t mean you “settle” or just take what you can get, it doesn’t take away value from the next person you fall in love with and possibly spend the rest of your life with.
I get Naruto is the protagonist and everyone wants him to end up with his first love but no one cheers for Hinata ending up with her first love.
That’s why it kind of irks me in some aspects that others view Hinata as the next best thing or Natuto’s second choice. Naruto never have Hinata false hope, he never stringed her along like a jerk, Naruto loved her as a friend and it’s possible to eventually see beyond platonic love.
Naruto could’ve easily gone out with any girl in any village because of the immense admiration everyone had for him and the constant confessions but he was able to still find genuine love for him in the right places with the right people that knew him before anyone ever did.
It also falls in part with that sometimes what you’ve been looking for all this time is right in front of you
I think i’ll end this now lol but thanks for whoever took the time to read this rant
