25 Things That Don't Make Sense About Naruto And Hinata's ...

Between Naruto and Boruto, one of the central couples of the anime has always been Naruto and Hinata. Initially, Naruto had a resilient, irrational crush on Sakura. This created an unnecessary love triangle of sorts between him, Sakura, and Sasuke. However, in the background, sweet and shy Hinata always pined for the headstrong, blonde-haired boy.

Though she harbored deep feelings for him since the moment they met, she doesn't admit these feelings until his life is in serious danger. And even after that, it takes even more time for the pair to finally get together. When The Last: Naruto The Movie came out, the pair officially were dating and, eventually, married.

In Boruto, Naruto and Hinata are the parents of the protagonist, Boruto, and his little sister Himawari. As parents, they serve very different roles. Hinata stays home loving and supporting them and Naruto is the Hokage. Despite any home problems they struggle through in Boruto, though, they are by far one of the most beloved couples of both series.

Even though they're beloved, though, that doesn't mean Naruto and Hinata are perfect. Sure, they have less problems than Sakura and Sasuke, but there are still some things about them that make fans scratch their heads.

Here are 25 Things That Don't Make Sense About Naruto And Hinata's Relationship.

The Questionable Way They Raise Naruto

Of course, kids can be hard to control. Hinata and Naruto can't be blamed for all their kids' mishaps (particularly Boruto.) However, Naruto struggles to remember to give his kids any priority and Hinata does nothing to scold him. At best, she gives him sad looks.

Considering how much they both felt like outsiders, you'd think they'd put extra care into making their kids feel loved and supported. Instead, Hinata is way too passive about their behavior and Naruto just isn't even there most times. Do all Konoha parents need to go to a parenting seminar?

Hinata Falling In Love With Naruto So Quickly

Young crushes don't take a long time A kid can meet someone and be 100% doe-eyed over them. When it comes to Hinata, though, she took it to another level. Merely hours after really meeting Naruto, she says he's the person she'd want to be with if the world ended tomorrow. Not her beloved sister or her family— Naruto.

Having a serious crush fits how young kids express romantic feelings. Meanwhile, Hinata jumps way too deep and decides she's madly in love with Naruto here and forever even though she's barely spoken to him and doesn't speak to him until years later. Poor girl needs to chill out.

Naruto's Long-Term Crush On Sakura

Throughout most of Naruto, Naruto has an irrational, lingering crush on Sakura. Crushes and feelings do what they do, but it doesn't make sense for Naruto to be persistent about it. She uses him to fill her Sasuke void, but she doesn't love him and they've only ever been good at being friends. As he matured, he should have realized how his crush wasn't really based on anything real. After all, he knew she didn't love him when she tried to ask him out seriously.

In that three year gap apart, and knowing she never liked him that way, he definitely should have moved on.

 Their Children's Personalities

Generally, when a couple has kids, they spread out the personality traits fairly evenly. Of course, one kid or another might lean towards a certain parent, but they still get some traits from the other adult.

In the Uzumaki household, both kids seem to take heavily from Naruto. Both are outspoken, emotional, and true to themselves. Himawari may be softer like Hinata, but otherwise they are very much fiery, Uzumaki children. This especially is baffling when Naruto is such an absent father. They definitely should have taken after their mother a little more.

The Last: Naruto The Movie Takes Way Too Long To Acknowledge Hinata's Confession

During Pain's assault, he knocks Naruto down. Out of love and desperation, Hinata stands herself between the two ninja. While doing this, Hinata finally confesses her love to Naruto, saying she'd gladly give up her life to save him. Pain knocks her down with ease, but it  inspires Naruto to defeat him.

The Last: Naruto The Movie spends most of the film ignoring this exchange. Naruto acts like he doesn't know she loves him, and Hinata acts like she hasn't confessed yet. Even when Naruto acknowledges the scene in a flashback, it's much deeper into the movie. When Hinata spoke very plainly about her feelings, it doesn't make sense for any of that to happen.

Naruto Fangirls

After the Fourth Shinobi War, Naruto has accumulated a bunch of fangirls giving him gifts. While it makes a lot of sense for him to have a lot more positive attention, the ferocity of his fans is a little wild. Sure, he's a powerful hero, but Jiraiya, Kakashi, and others who are also powerful heroes never got this kind of crazed praise.

Furthermore, after Hinata's confession and support through the war, it's absurd so much time is spent on him with these girls. It's about time he get with the sweet Hyuga, not open hordes of presents.

Young Hinata Waiting So Long To Talk To Naruto

According to The Last: Naruto The Movie, Hinata has adored Naruto since she was a very young kid. However, in the series, they make it clear that they didn't really talk otherwise until the Chunin Exams. Yes, Hinata was a quiet, reserved young girl. There's a determination and strength hidden in her, though. Even if she wasn't loud about it, it doesn't make sense for her not to have tried to be close to him before then.

Furthermore, outsiders attract outsiders. If they were like the average kid, they definitely would have stayed good friends from that bullying day on.

Kids Bullying Hinata For Her Eyes

In Naruto, Hinata is a member of the powerful and esteemed Hyuga clan. They are defined by their eyes, the cloudy Byakugan that is the source of their strength. With such a fearsome and esteemed family, it would make sense if they were respected around the village. If anyone slighted a Hyuga, especially one from the head family, they'd face the wrath of the whole clan.

However, somehow, these bullies are able to bully her, and for the eyes that make her clan so intimidating. It's very on-brand for the young Hinata not to stand up for herself, but for them to thoughtlessly make fun of a Hyuga? That doesn't make any sense at all.

Hinata Getting Jealous Over A Scarf

When Naruto saved little Hinata from bullies, they absolutely destroyed his red scarf. Many years later, Hinata works very hard to make a replacement for him. Problems arise, though, when he starts wearing a new, blue scarf she doesn't know anything about. She becomes very self-conscious and jealous of it.

While that could make sense for the average teen girl, Hinata always just wanted Naruto to be happy. For lack of a better term, she's not the jealous type. So for her to get all flustered and upset about a different scarf is out of character, especially since it's nothing romantic and Naruto never says it is.

Not Talking About Toneri's Plot Before Hinata Was Taken

Toneri is very likely the worst person at proposing. After all, he proposed to Hinata by threatening her sister's life. He's the main problem in The Last: Naruto The Movie, trying to use Hinata's Byagukan powers for his own gain.

Though he forces Hinata's hand, she had time before he took her. She could have easily informed her ninja comrades of his plan so that they'd come to his domain more prepared. And, of course, to make sure Naruto knew that she really wasn't choosing moon boy over him.

However, no one seems to think things through that sensibly when hostage siblings are on the line.
