I've been visiting the NaruHina FC for a while; and I got some good hints that Naruto and Hinata will be together. Even though some of the NH scenes are fillers in the anime adaption, I don't really mind. It's the only thing that can make me squeal.

You've known me as an avid NaruHina fan, right?
Yes, yes, that's 100% true.
But do you want to know how i started to like this tandem?:

Like I posted in my FS profile before, 'Naruto' was my first anime. probably when i was still 8 yrs. old. I was easily fascinated by the plot of its Ninja-ness story.
But what I was really looking for was Romance in action.

So, I began to memorize the characters and their life stories one by one, and the first character I decided to know was Sakura. I've read many articles that Sakura was deeply inlove with Sasuke, so I'd figure out to be fond of SasuSaku at first.
Then next came Naruto, who had a crush on Sakura, too. But there was already SasuSaku on my mind, So I say 'Boo' for NaruSaku.
(Not only because Sakura already loves Sasuke, but because she keeps on punching Naruto, too. She has no respect for him.)

When I first saw Hinata's image, I've thought of her as a 'kind-hearted, strong, shy and cute girl'. Fortunately, I was right. But it brought me to a shock when i found out that she has a long-standing admiration for Naruto, the main hero.

After the interest I have in NaruHina, I started collecting infos, pictures, bla. bla. such and such.. I also started to draw some fanarts of them, too.
Then ShikaIno and NejiTen were coming. I grew fond of them, too. But what was really on my mind all the time was NaruHina. I know that Hinata haven't told Naruto her feelings for him yet in the 1st season, But Hopefully, and Luckily; Hinata already confessed in Shippuuden. (See chapter 437 of Naruto.)

So, that's it. pretty predictable, right? ^^
Anyways, I wanna share some hints with you ~Minna. I hope you'll keep on
supporting NaruHina:
[ALL iNFOS && SOME iMAGES ARE FROM: THE NARUHiNA FC. HUGE CREDiTS
TO THE OWNER, DARKHOPE-SAMA; *CHEERS!* && ALSO TO THE OTHER STAFFS, MEMBERS. PS: i JUST SUMMARiZED THE WHOLE iNFO. SO, iTS STiLL MY GRAMMAR BASED ON WHAT i'VE RESEARCHED ^O^]


Based on the picture above, Naruto, somehow; is waving at an old friend of his. Based on the title and the chapter: '371: Old Friends'. But think twice and look closely, doesn't it make a resemblance to Hinata's Image cover in chapter 441?
Its like Naruto is waving at Hinata and she immediateley caught his attention.
Quite a coincidence right? Maybe..; tsk. tsk.


Its Chuunin exams time! and as you've seen in the episodes/chapters before, Naruto made a blood oath to Hinata that he will definitely defeat Neji for her. Hhhmm..seems like Naruto didn't forget, ei? guess he was still thinking of his Promise for Hinata. after defeating Neji, he shouted: 'Where is Hinata? is she watching?' - a sign that he can't shatter a promise he made to a person close to him.


HiNATA vs. NEJi! -At that time, Hinata was lacking of self confidence because of the horrible words his cousin (Neji) said to her. mostly about being Weak, and being a big failure/dissapointment to the Main Hyuuga family. But Naruto was there to cheer her up, the strength she got from Naruto's word gave her inspiration and determination. Thus, she chose to fight his cousin because 'the person she admires is right infront of her and she can't bear to lose.'
While fighting with Neji, Hinata looked up for Naruto and He, at the same time; thought about how incredible Hinata is.


Before the Chuunins exams, Naruto was heading for the stadium and passed by the old place where they took the Chuunin exams before. Then, he accidentally met Hinata, who was training; on the way. He asked her if she was alright, then seeked some infos about Neji, and thought Hinata could be the excellent source, too. He also told her that there can be a chance that he'll fail, because he believes Neji is stronger than him. Hinata insisted and told him that he's definitley a strong person. But Naruto only replied to her, that he just looks and acts strong in her eyes So that he can impress People. Still, Hinata insisted and told him truthful words about what she really felt deep inside. She said that naturally, Naruto is brave and strong. being not to give up easily, and will do anything for the person that is close to him. She also called him a 'proud failure' which he really is, but that's just because Hinata doesn't want to lie to Naruto and say it in a good way. Naruto didn'e get even, He stayed calm.
(At least she didn't call Naruto a 'talentless loser' just like Sakura did)

Hinata then told Naruto that whenever she sees him, there's an impact on her heart. A sign that he gives determination to her; and also a confession about her admiration for Naruto. but Naruto still stayed oblivious about it, as usual.

After hearing those words, Naruto thanked Hinata and told her that he felt a lot better now in fighting Neji because she cheered her up.
Just when Naruto was about to go, he stops. he told Hinata that he thought of her as a 'dark, shy and wierd girl' before. But paused, then said..
'BUT A PERSON LiKE YOU, i REALLY LiKE.!

As Naruto leaves, Hinata became wide-eyed shocked, and the only thing she can see is Naruto, surrounded by a brilliant light as a guide for her.

TAKE NOTE: Never before to anyone has Naruto shown this side of himself. Hinata is the first to see him in this light. Sandaime and Iruka may have known that Naruto was hiding his feelings, but Naruto never let it show to either of them. Hinata is the first person thus far Naruto opens this side of himself to.


This was a scene from Shippuuden. Naruto was greeting Hinata after 2.5 years, But Hinata was unprepared, so she fainted. While having a conversation with Shino, or Kiba? i forgot! anyways, NEVERMiND! -- He told Naruto that he noticed Hinata immediatley, not like before; in the first season. Some progress on NaruHina, `ayt?^^

CLiCK HERE FOR THE FULL PiC!
This is one of Masashi Kishimoto's (Creator of Naruto) early rough drafts before making the Naruto manga. As you can see from the pic, Hinata was wearing the same dress also from: 'Konoha! Shippu Gakuen Den', where she had her date with Naruto after confessing to him. Now, Look closely, NARUTO WAS BEHiND HiNATA LOOKiNG AT THE SUN. && ALSO TAKE NOTE: HiNATA'S NAME RESEMBLES: 'TOWARDS THE SUN'.^^

Another catchy thing was, Hinata is wearing a SPiRAL necklace. a close-resemblance from Naruto's costume, which shows of the UZUMAKi CLAN.

So.. Hhmm..what do you think? did Kishimoto-san bonded Naruto and Hinata a bit too early before the actual series? :)


A scene from chapter '437: Confessions'. Hinata was worrying about Naruto after fighting with Pein. She felt relieved after knowing that he was alright. On the other hand, Naruto was worrying about 'Them', too. and THEM means = HiNATA and the village he just destroyed because of his 6th-tailed transformation due to his anger being led all-out when Pein closely killed Hinata.


NARUHiNA in the video game. (Gomen, I forgot what's the title XD)
Based from the scene above, Naruto and Hinata were eating Dango together.
Rather than walking away, Naruto chose to stay with Hinata.

Click here for the full pic.
After Naruto's transformation, He (again) regretted the things he destroyed in his demon fox mode. He was THiNKiNG OF HiNATA, not the village. But he's still concerned about them, of course.


Tsunade's proclamation as Hokage. Really, I can't say that we mostly see Naruto and Hinata together in the anime series since they're not teammates, right?
Well, would you look at this! Of ALL THE PEOPLE iN KONOHA, why would it be Hinata standing beside Naruto? Just saying that its a SPECiAL coincidence.
Although, Sakura was beside Naruto, too. but only because they're teammates!
Even Shino was there around Hinata, somewhere. But I decided to take a close-up of the two of them, instead :D


This is page from the Naruto Databook. If you look closely, the keyword
there is: HESiTANT, UP AND DOWN LOVE STORY.
which refers to Hinata herself and her love for Naruto.
It literally means that Hinata's lovelife has ups and downs. When we talk about the
'ups', It could be that Hinata gained strength from Naruto, Has done something good for Naruto, enjoying time with Naruto, finally acknowledged by Naruto, and such..
and when it comes to the 'downs', it Could be that Hinata wasn't noticed by Naruto, Hinata acted as a failure infront of Naruto, Hinata stutters and faints, Hinata misses the chance to confess her feelings, Hinata makes Naruto worry, bla. bla..

Whatever It means, the important thing is they finally consider NaruHina as a Love story. Now That wasn't a bad start for a shy girl who falls inlove with a proud failure, wasn't it?

CLiCK HERE FOR THE FULL PiC.
This is a page from an Anime Insider that feautered Naruto, (I think)?
Well, look closely. Below Hinata's fighting picture, a set of words were 'squared':
"HiNATA iS A POTENTiAL LOVE iNTEREST FOR NARUTO,
BUT HE HASN'T FULLY NOTiCED HER FEELiNGS YET".
Now that was a big squealer. It OBViOUSLY means that Hinata can be the one Naruto will love rather than Sakura. Besides, He ONLY SEEKS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT from her; and we can't call that TRUE/PURE LOVE. Not like Hinata's feelings, she seeks more than acknowledgement; and everyone knows that. She's even being honest by calling Naruto a 'proud failure' which he really is and knows it. Other than Sakura, who called him a 'Talentless loser', which is not Naruto-like, and hates it.
Think twice, What could happen after the confession of Hinata now that Naruto FULLY NOTiCED her feelings? would he accept Hinata's romantic feelings? Why not?
There could be a BiG CHANCE! As Tsunade said, 'Naruto WANTS TO LOVE and to be LOVED BACK'. There! Hinata already loved him back. How could he possibly break Hinata's heart? Naruto is a kind person. He wouldn't miss the chance where he's already loved back, ROMANTiCALLY.

CLiCK HERE FOR THE FULL PiC.
From the Databook, it is confirmed that Naruto's hobby is Gardening, while Hinata's is Flower Pressing. *WOOWWW..* Sure pretty close, isn't it? ^^
Anyways, This page from the DB is full of questions for Naruto. and Kishimoto must have answered this for him since he's just fictional. On the bottom right Corner, the
question says: "What do you think about Hinata?"
then Naruto answered: "I dunno. First she was a wimp, Then she was really tough..
But I know she's got a good heart!.
and why would Hinata be included there? she's just a supporting character, isn't she?
But who cares! She's finally included in Naruto's life!
and noticed Naruto's answer? Well..the first part maybe true. But Naruto doesn't literally mean it. He meant that Hinata was very shy/weak at first, But I think he doesn't know that BECAUSE OF HiM, she became really tough. Naruto also said that Hinata has a good heart. Does that mean Naruto appreciates Hinata's kindness? :)


In this manga scene, Naruto was feeling 'kinda-mad' at first. Maybe because he's eager to do the mission. But when Hinata told him to do their best, Naruto's expression became calm, and he was smiling. He also noticed Hinata right away, too.

This was a sketch draft from One of the staff members of Masashi Kishimoto.
As you can see, Hinata is pointing his bubble blower to the bubble which Naruto is in. Does that explains that he/she's a NaruHina-tard; too?^^


This is an image of Hinata's biography. and like; WOAHH..
the VERY FiRST statement says: 'Hinata fell inlove with Naruto early on when others only saw him as a pest'
and its even underlined!
Again, Naruto couldn't possibly miss the chance that even when he was still a demon in everyone's eyes before, There was one 'shy dark wierd girl' who sees him differently from the Others..


NARUHiNA AGAiN iN THE ViDEO GAME!. This is a scene from Episode 59. where Hinata called Naruto a 'proud-failure', kinda confessed her admiration for him, and such. you've already read the content of this episode, right?^^

.:HiNATA'S CONFESSiON:.

.CHAPTER 437.


Is this me? or are they in the same situation where their postitions in their manga covers are the same? ~KYAAAA! ^o^
Anyways, the line in Hinata's cover says:
' SHE SETS OUT FOR THE SUN; iTS GOLDEN LiGHT HER BEACON'.
Again, her name means 'Towards the Sun', and Beacon = 'guide'.
Does that reminds you of Chapter 98/Episode 59? where Hinata refers to Naruto as her guide as she sees nobody but him surrounded by a brilliant light? :D



Oh? what's this.?
i GOT THiS SCREENSHOT WHiLE i WAS WATCHiNG NARUTO SHiPPUUDEN 110 TODAY. THiS iS ONLY A SPECiAL AFTER-SCENE SHOWN AFTER THE ENDiNG AND THE PREViEW OF THE NEXT EPiSODE..

HAHA..SEEMS LiKE NARUTO AND HiNATA ARE GETTiNG CLOSER AS THE SERiES PROGRESSES..
i KNOW THAT THEY'RE JUST FiLLERS. && i CARE WHY?
BAHH.! iTS THE REASON WHY NARUHiNA FANS SQUEAL!^^


Click here for the other pic.
Again, I'm saying that we don't see Naruto and Hinata together in the anime series much. But they do, sometimes. and even in posters too? XDD
The first pic was a Shippuuden poster, Where Naruto is in between of Sakura and Hinata AGAiN. Why bother including Sakura in my close-up, anyway?

The 2nd poster is about the characters and a lil' bit about Naruto and Sasuke's bond in Shippuuden, maybe in a video game. But look closely, its much more than that!
Hinata and Naruto were standing side by side. While in the other side, NARUTO'S friend-fan and the grandchild of the 3rd Hokage is beside HiNATA'S strong little sister! Another big squealer we got here! *Claps, Cheers and Standing Ovations!*


In one of the Shippuuden endings, Hinata was shown to give Naruto a love letter, which contains her feelings for him. Well that explains how Hinata progressed.
Seems Kishimoto-san didn't forget Hinata's love for Naruto, right??^^

The whole story is shown in 'Shippu! Konoha Gakuen Den!' where they played as students in a school and Naruto is the new rebel guy. Please watch it ~minna! :)


This is a scene from an OVA in Naruto. I forgot the title.
(Gomenesai. i don't have time to look at my Naruto DVDs =.=)
Anyways, Naruto really needed to pee at that time. And it was bad timing though, because the Konoha Sports Festival was held and He had to participate in every
game. Another bad thing was, the male restroom was closed because It was under a cleaning process. and Unluckily, He missed the chance because Hinata suddenly popped out to wish Naruto the best of her luck. Naruto, who was shivering because his bladder almost killed him, Chose to stay (in pain) instead of running away.
*Although, Naruto complained after; but who cares?! its so Kawaii!^^


Another scene from the Naruto OVA.
In the end of the games, Naruto's team won. But Naruto was still dissapointed because he didn't get the chance to pee because Shino also dragged him away.
MAiN POiNT: Hinata congratulated him even if she's not in Naruto's team^^

The ending was funny, and it had a NaruHina point in it. Naruto has already defeated his bladder and he also farted at the same time AROUND THE OTHER GENiNS.
All of the genins showed mad and shocking expressions except for one, and that is Hinata. she didn't get mad, or dissapointed, or embarassed. She just shouted
'Naruto-kun.!' that showed her concern for him.


Oh, Come on! its so obvious!
in one of the Naruto ending themes, the characters were shown wearing animal costumes. LOOK CLOSELY. what animal costume is Hinata wearing? A FOX.
TAKE NOTE: Naruto's beast inside his body is a demon FOX. quite a resemblance, ei?^^
Sakura's costume was a white dog. I mean, its obviously a fox, right? with the pointy ears and the fluffy orange fur! :3

.:NARUHiNA TRADiNG CARDS! :)


So.. That's all my hints. Thanks for reading, ~Minna! I'd appreciate if you'd comment on my entries. KEEP SUPPORTiNG NARUHiNA! You'll never know what'll happen! :D

P.S. I Love You (:
