Despite their contrasting personalities, Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga find love transcending their differences. Hinata, the shy girl from Naruto’s class, has always admired him from afar, harboring deep feelings for him since their early days together. In the initial chapters of the manga, Naruto is completely oblivious to Hinata’s affections.
The creator, Masashi Kishimoto, once shared, “Hinata has been following Naruto since the beginning and throughout the years. Hinata is the only one who has ever truly understood him, and even when Naruto faced failure and hardships, she never abandoned him. She knows and feels that he is someone who would never give up.”
It wasn’t until the events during Pain’s assault on the Hidden Leaf Village that Hinata finally gathered the courage to express her feelings. The timid girl stepped up to defend Naruto, confronting Pain and ultimately showcasing her strength and determination. Throughout the series, Hinata consistently stood by Naruto’s side during pivotal moments in his journey.
Following the tragic death of Neji, the tension between them intensified, and their bond grew even stronger. The Fourth Great Ninja War created a unique opportunity for Naruto and Hinata to deepen their relationship.
If Neji’s defeat during the Chunin Exams connected the two, then his death only served to bring them closer together. After the Fourth Great Ninja War, the two shared a moment of intimacy that left many fans in awe due to Kishimoto’s writing prowess.
After the completion of Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto introduced a special story titled “After The Last” for the Naruto manga.
The film “The Last: Naruto the Movie” beautifully fills the gap between the end of the Fourth Great Ninja War and Naruto’s ascension as the Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village. It delves deeply into the romantic relationship between the two, offering fans a satisfying conclusion to their long-awaited love story. In this film, they share their first passionate kiss.
During their first official date, due to Naruto’s limited finances, Hinata thoughtfully chose the famous ramen shop Ichiraku, a place cherished by Naruto and other ninjas throughout the series. It was a heartfelt moment that highlighted their growing relationship.
The existence of a dedicated narrative for Naruto and Hinata’s romantic journey is a delightful treat for fans who have followed their story since the beginning.
After the war, in the subsequent stories, Hinata is portrayed as Naruto’s wife and the mother of their two children, Boruto Uzumaki and Himawari Uzumaki.
