ceruseeI liked Hinata when as she did was stand around and silently root for Naruto. (I like Naruto. Therefore, I like people who like Naruto.) I like Hinata even more now that I know that she's on a hardcore self-improvement kick, just like Naruto and Sakura (and, umm...practically everybody else. But, say, Sasuke's quest for the power to kick everybody's ass means a lot less because he's already really strong and also he's a pissy little bitch).
How sweet was that Naruto/Hinata thing? She's been watching him for years, and when for the first time, she knows he's watching her and cheering her on, she fights better than she's ever fought before. He inspires her. And because he's Naruto, there's room in his heart for her, too, even though he hardly knows her. If this keeps up, I'm going to have a new het OTP.
Therefore, I hate Neji's guts, because he's such an asshole that he not only tries to kill Hinata in the fight--because she didn't forfeit at the beginning--but he has to grind her down by telling her, in complete denial of the reality standing in front of him, that her hard work means nothing, that she'll always be a loser because people can't change.
I want very badly for Naruto to turn Neji into a smear of meat paste on the wall. I will accept Rock Lee doing it in Naruto's stead, because Lee is awesome.
I will also accept Hinata beating Neji to a bloody pulp, but that doesn't seem likely anytime soon.

on 2005-04-25 01:14 am (UTC)I wondered in, like, episode 1, if Hinata's obvious crush on Naruto was ever going to be a thing, or if it would grow beyond a stock cliche. I still don't know if they'd go the route of a serious Naruto/Hinata romance, but after watching them interact in these episodes, I think they could, and do it well.
