The Hokage’s Failure or why i used to love Naruto and then not...

First of all, i have to mention that i followed Naruto, the anime and manga, since High school, i was one of the first fans who likes the pairing of Naruto and Sakura even when the most of the fans doesn’t believe in this ship, obviusly, i learned in the hard way that they have the reason all along.

Today, while i was talking with a former co worker , i was telling him that i used to love Naruto and then just to maximize my dramatic exclamation i use a emoticon of a crying face there. He write a short but efective response that remember me why i loved Naruto so deeply. He the just wrote: “Hey, i´m Naruto!” and then send me a foto of his, smiling, proving that, in fact, they have exactly same smile, of course he makes this obvius adding another coment,

The fact was, that i used to love Naruto ‘cause was full of good things. Naruto was a main character lazy, messy and sometimes even pitiful, but persistent as hell and loyal till death, victim of bullying for be something he doesn’t even ask for, rejected and humilliated for the people that he knew as his home, but never revengful, sometimes being a bratt but not harmful. Naruto was just a kid who needed love and comprehension, someone who have decided protect the same place that mistreated him so bad.

Myself identifies with this kid, rejected but loving, clumsy but persistent. A good man trying to achieve his destiny, make his dreams come true and smiling against adversity.

Naruto would had a couple of things very clear, one of them was that He’d be the Hokage, other was that he’d brougt back Sasuke at any cost and third thah he loved Sakura ,deeply and trudly. And was there when everything (at least to me), begins to break.

Sakura was a bratty girl with no self criteria, a girl just being a girl at the pre pubescent age afraid to be more rejected than she already was. In this point i believed that in was one of the things that marked this ship so powerfully. They identifies the other in themselfs more or less but the identification is there.

Even when the smilarities between Sakura and Naruto we can also say that they’re extremely unalike.

Many of their development happened since the first chapter in the manga. Sakura, a girl who is egocentrical, fearly , with a world of insecurities beneath her skin; Naruto a boy rejected trying to step out from the others but that keeps being a bratty and childish guy.

All the develpment between them is exhaustively analized in Narusaku manifesto a well descrived article that was published so many years ago in a forum called Heaven and Earth. I don’t know exactly if that place exist yet, but if it does, please, read that article ‘cause there will be, at least partially, the answers and explanations about this couple that many can be looking for.

Maybe my major anger with the pairing “Naruhina” is the lack of development in that relationship. There were not a single intimate moment between Hinata and Naruto in the entire manga, ¡Not a single one!

Lets stop here before you get mad and tell me about how Hinata almost sacrifices her life in exchange for Naruto’s in that battle with Pain, a heroic act that summarizes absolutely the love she feels for him, let me tell you that there is not intimacy in it, it was a public declaration that, even tough, takes Naruto and Pain by surprise and then was put aside in the continuity of the storyline. The movie is something apart that i’ll discuss later.

In the real story, in the manga and even in the anime, the original development of the characters there is not intimacy between Naruto and Hinata. There were not recognition, not bonding moment, not sharing about who were really who. The brief moment before the fight with Kiba, the oath in the fight with Neji in revenge for whats has been done to Hinata, even the public declaration from her were the perfect examples of lost chances. When Naruto and Hinata could have connect, Kishimoto decides cut off the line and keep going in another completely different direction, even then, there were moments after that moments where the bnding between Naruto and Sakura seems to shine more. All the oportunities that the manga had to make the Naruhina the main ship with the adecuate support were lost in moments so little and irrelevant that caugh my attention once all was over.

Why’d you let that your main couple have such lame construction process? Why give the searchlight to another couple that were meant to be just friends?

The intimacy between Naruto and Sakura were so many that analize them would be possible only trough their manifesto and all the manga that was not over when it was written. My only objetive is express my opinion, unintended to offend no one.

At this point i know that expressing my opinion won’t change anything and, for the most, probably , i’ll get angry responses for the fans that saw how Naruhina triumphed in this ships wars. But this feeling, that i’ve guarded inside of me has been fighting to get aout and i simply can’t repress any longer, so here i’m.

Many would say that Sakura was selfish and had the worts of the attitudes with Naruto at the first part of the manga, but we need to see under what kind of concept we are judging her. She was, in the beginning of the manga, a twelve-years old girl who was trying to go with the flow. How can we think that her attitud and her treat to him will be different to the others if she herself is being rejected by her physic. At the age of twelve, i doubt, sincerely that someone would had their own critteria formed totally about people, things or facts. At thah age we are more a combination between what we see in othersand what we learned in home and school and we’re beginning our own exploration of the world, a vision of racionalization and we are not mature enough to go against what is proclaimed as a law. In Naruto’s universe everybody surrounding him rejects him, they are scared of him and try to avoid his existence. Why Sakura would act differentely? Hinata does not reject Naruto but nor comforts him or supports him in any way- And no, repeat his name behind a tree while having daydreams in silence is not support- Sakura, even in this stage of theri relationship that is at some point kind of uncomfortable, supports Naruto in many more ways fighting against her will and her own interest to help him or at least try.

Her confession of love was not fake even when many could think otherwise. NaruSaku fans believed it too, and some of them pointed this moment like the worst NaruSaku moment in the history of this manga, but to me it was all unlike.

The “I love you” pronounced by Sakura was one of the most sincere i’ve ever read/heard. She put him first, his dreams, his heart, his hopes, her fail neglect his decision, she was hopeless and act by instinct . She was determined to finish that Sasuke and her was inflicting in Naruto all along. The last person seh was thinking was about her, she just didn’t care about what Naurto and other could think about her, she act, she wanted to save her best friend and in her try she was selflessly selfish but she did try hard give her all to Naruto and if that is not love i don’t know how to call it. Even the she was severely judged. And yes Hinata risk her life for Naruto but that was a way more selfish than Sakura in her action, she not risk just her security if not also Naruto’s and Village. She could perfectly Know that gets in the way of Pain was useless, dangerous and uncautious but even then she did it. Why? Maybe moved by an impulse but maybe also thinking in the way her heroic act would impact in the way Naruto saw her. If that wasn’t real, why she confesses in that moment? She could say anything, anything aside her feelings but she choses that preciselly moment to confess her love, and suffer the consequences and Kishimoto wasted another bonding moment.

On the other hand, Naruto is a boy that always have loved Sakura, i didn’t understand at first why, ‘cause, to be sincere, Sakura, in the beginning made me feel a little off, i didn´t like her, and to me she was so unfriendly that i only saw her as a horrible character but then, she changed, she grew and made herself better and for the first time i saw a really good character development from this childish girl into a strong woman, her treat to Naruto was changing to better, her obsession for Sasuke was lessening and everything seemed just perfectly fine. Naruto makes very clear in the first chapter that he already knows why he likes Sakura so much realizing it maybe even before many of us.

Naruto never hesitates in his feelings for her, he didn’t doubt. He promised her happiness even when that would mean sacifice his own heart, he encouraged her, he admired her, he loved her passionately, truthly, maddly and deeply, and suddenly in a twist all that dissapeared just like that!

Years and years of love and devotion gone just...because. Sakura throw Naruto to Hinata´s arms in a movie that pretends justify Naruhina but only makes more clear that Naruto look at Hinata just ‘cause she was there and thats all and Sakura at least at it was portrayed, felt like she saw feeling so undeserving of Naruto’s love that she decided simply let him go. The lack of a real confrontation with their deep feelings between them left me unsatisfied. One of the things that upsets me the most is the kind of example that this kind of shippings gives to everyone who sees this.

From Hinata it was: live for a man, as if twilight wasn’t enough, now Naruto comes and shows us this. You like a man? Hide yourself behind a tree hoping like a stalker and never, never make the effort to talk with him and know him really ‘cause he’ll come to you when he is donde with his true love and make him your totally life sense. Forgett who you are, and change your personality cause he wanted and needed something entirely different of what you are.

A man mistreated you, is unrespectful with you and doesn’t give a damn what happen to you? Love him! Love him undying and fiercely, let him treat you as he pleases and years later when your life makes no sense and your kids doubt about your maternity and ask why their father is never near, destroys your house victim of your own frustration of a lifetime.

You’re a good man who give it all for everyone? well you gonna need the help from a traitor moron that says is your friend and let the love of your life go from you and let her get married with a idiot that just treated her like she have any value. Get married whit whoever gets in the way and to get over your frustration be a workaholic and neglect your own family.

If you’re a revengful murderer with God complex, a traitor to all the people, a idiotic and malevolous being, a man without any type of ethic nor moral, dont worry, you’ll get married with someone who just adores you without reason, your best friend let you keep his tru love for you, and forgave every single shitty thing you’ve done to him and will make you a hero just like him.

Many of you maybe would tell me that things ar far different as how i portrayed in this post , but like i said before this is just an opinion and its mine only, i have nothing against no one aand nothing here es personal.

To me, Naruto and Sakura were meant to be , but he gives up and she never forgives self and their story get lost in a great development that failed in give us clausure of them. Their story ends and it was for me the real end for Naruto saga, the Naruto that i used to love and then just gets me dissapointed.
