“She is barely any character”: Naruto Fans Believe Kishimoto Messed Up Naruto Ending Up With Hinata Despite Their Status as One of the Legendary Anime Couples

Masashi Kishimoto’s Naruto is considered to be one of the most legendary anime and manga series that has featured a wide array of characters and arcs. The Shonen series takes its viewers on a rollercoaster of emotions as the show is full of action, plot twists, the deaths of some of the most beautifully written characters, and iconic couples that fans love to see.

During the long run of the show, Kishimoto-Sensei featured several couples, with Hinata Hyuga and Naruto Uzumaki being the most iconic couple. Despite the status of being one of the most iconic pairs in anime history, fans have had mixed reactions towards their ship.

The fans of the community believe the mangaka has messed up big time by making the Byakugan Princess end up with the Seventh Hokage.

It has been a little over 7 years since Masashi Kishimoto’s magnum opus, Naruto, came to an end. Well, not really, as it made a time skip leading to Boruto: Naruto Next Generations. Nevertheless, the story of our protagonist came to an end when he achieved his dream and ended up with the girl who loved him more than anything else in the world.

Though the two have risen to be one of the most distinguished couples in anime history, fans of the otaku community have mixed opinions about her character. Some fans believe that the Hyuga Princess might be the perfect name to be with our protagonist; mainly because she has been the biggest supporter of our protagonist.

During a major part of the series, she has been his number one cheerleader, and she greatly respects Uzumaki’s only dream of being the Hokage. Although her support goes unnoticed by our hero, she is definitely the right person to be with him.

However, some fans on r/Naruto think that Kishimoto-Sensei should have made the Nine-tails Jinchuriki with someone other than the soft-spoken kunoichi. Their arguments are solely based and reinforced on the fact that the character has been extremely timid throughout the series and does not have any major interaction.

While she can be the perfect waifu due to her notable traits of being sweet and having feelings for Uzumaki, apart from these two, her other traits are a copy of her spouse. As a result, some fans believe that the couple has nothing in common because Kishimoto-Sensei could take a random character, make them shy, and have feelings for him, resulting in another Hinata Hyuga.

Hence, fans have a strong feeling that the mangaka should have taken a different character who had a much more layered personality that would have gone well with the hero of Konohagakura.

Naruto Fans Think Poorly of Hinata Hyuga

Although Kishimoto-Sensei has showcased how the couple is made for each other, the two have been like underdog characters in the Shonen series. Despite coming from the famed Hyuga clan, renowned for their visual prowess, she doubted her abilities, with many believing she was incapable of getting stronger.

However, in the same Reddit post, fans most ardently believe that she is unfit to be with Naruto Uzumaki, as they leave their comments on the post.

Aside from not showcasing enough episodes, where the two slowly started to develop feelings for themselves, it also remains a question how the Sage of Nine Tails lost his feelings for Sakura Haruno when she pretended to have romantic feelings for our hero.

Hence, fans believe that Kishimoto-Sensei should have come up with a slightly different storyline to showcase why the couple are perfect for each other.
