NaruHina, SasuSaku and ShikaTema were pretty obvious, so I'm not really surprised with any of these three. I was already expecting them. Only InoSai and ChoujixKarui (whatever in the name for it) caught me off guard, especially the last one since that one came out of nowhere.

I really like ShikaTema and NaruHina. And even if I din't ship it I admit InoSai was a good choise, I may even start to ship it now. ChoujixKarui, as I said before, was just wierd. I don't like nor dislike it, for me it was just a big lipped alligator moment due to the lack of interaction between the two characters, so my standing is neutral. The only ship that annoyed me a little was SasuSaku. However, this is not due to the characters involved, but due to how rushed Sasuke's apology and redemption was writen. Kishimoto rushed some points of the manga so it could end in the 700th milestone, and that left some points without the proper detail they deserved, it even came out a bit forced like he was easily forgiven. This my only nitpick regarding the final pairings, I would be okay with it if the ship had more time to develop, but it came out wrong in the manga, lets hope it is played better in the anime.
