NaruHina was my OTP and it was just a matter of time before that happened. I highly doubted that Hinata was going to get friend-zoned after all of that.

I also like SasuSaku and I remember even conceding that it probably wasn't going to happen. I loved that Sakura didn't outright forgive Sasuke when he first apologized and told him that he better be sorry.

ShikaTema was so obvious I don't feel like I need to say anything about it. I loved the fact that Shikadai seemed to like Kankuro more than Gaara as his uncle.

Saino was actually one of my favorite pairings but I never would have expected it to happen. I liked it from the moment that Sai called Ino "beautiful". I'll admit that the ending actually spoiled me a little. Seriously, four pairings that I supported became canon.

Choji/Karui came out of nowhere but I'm not mad about it and I love their daughter. I raised an eyebrow at Kiba/Tamaki because like most people I forgot who Tamaki was and I'm not usually one to forget characters, no matter how minor they are. But at least they didn't have kids, because realistically, not everybody has kids.

But the big question everbody has is this: How did all of these pairing happen? How did Naruto get over Sakura and fall for Hinata? How did Sasuke finally fall for Sakura and how could she forgive him for trying to kill her? How could Ino get over Sasuke? How on earth did Choji end up with Karui? How did Kiba even meet Tamaki? The answer to all of these is time. There was a clear time skip. It's hard to realize that while this was all crammed into consecutive manga for us, a lot happened in their world. A lot has changed. Naruto was even on a computer if that's any indication to how much things changed.
