Hello to you, and thanks for your opinions and time.

-> If memory serves, it was the extreme shipping war surrounding Hinata. Kishimoto basically didn't dare to write anything (other than the occasional trolling) as it would generate huge backlash. The western world may prefer Hinata, but in Japan Sakura is seen as the prime candidate. Kishimoto chose the best option and that was to ignore it as much as possible.

I can imagine well, I was not that much of a NaruHina fan, I just thought that I liked her backstory and how she would train hard. I meant that, at some point, she had the same problem as Naruto had. She stagnated. Many characters did so, as you know. I was disapointed because Naruto had never learnt anything new, no new elements, no no wind techniques, ... Same for almost all chatacters. As for the fact that Sakura is more popular in Japan, I can conceive it. She also grew. Became stronger. Sadly, she would start being annoying at some point.

-> The amount of flashbacks in the Manga aren't all that bad actually. It's the Anime that flashbacks so much and ruins it.

Yes, I did meant in the anime. I actually happened to read the manga, but also watced the anime. Therefore, I can happen to confuse others, I apologies for that, I should have be more precise.

-> As to same pasts same goals: We learned from the very beginning that the world's a dark place where ninja die and die often. It's a miracle we don't have more orphans. As to same goals: It's a world that sees that it's rotten to the core, but it's also unable to bring itself to change. Many people dream of bettering it and many people dream of being a Kage (Ask kids what they want to be and they're all police and firemen, later "famous").

I can see where I was mistaken now, I am grateful to you. It lacked some diversity, but probably in more domains that only this. Since their difficult pasts got me to really happen to like some characters (like Gaara even at the beginning, when I would keep on telling myself: "Why is he acting this way?! What happened to him? He must be so sad..." coming from the mouth of a little kid! Haha).

-> Considering that he was still figuring out how to write a story when he started, it's amazing he got this far. He did write himself into corners that he may not have seen coming (including the shipping wars).

I understand. Thanks to both of you, for sharing your opinions. I really appreciate it. Would you mind telling me your opinion onto my previous sayings in my last comment? I really am eager to know other people's views.
