SasuHina is the term used for the pairing of Sasuke Uchiha and Hinata Hyuga from Naruto.
Some people said that they don’t make sense since they almost never interacted, but I don’t think so. They have other means to build development. For example, they have many similiarities, like both are calm, being looked down by their fathers, have strong brothers to compete, and from highly prestigious clans so they will understand each other very well. Also their costume’s colors strangely match at each other.
Their blood types match too with Fugaku – Mikoto Uchiha (Hinata’s blood type: A & Sasuke’s blood type: AB while Fugaku’s blood type: AB & Mikoto’s blood type: A). Not to mention that Hinata resembles Mikoto so much, both in appearance and personality. Guys love girls that resemble their mothers, right? Look, they will be exactly same with FugaMiko :
Sasuke has ever said that he loves girl with long hair. He also doesn’t like noisy people around. And since he is always surrounded by fangirls and never paid attention, I don’t think he will be suitable with one that hanging around him with adoration eyes. What better choice for him other than HINATA HYUGA? Sakura & Karin don’t have that long hair and are fangirls, while Ino, although has long hair, also is fangirl. Yeah, if only Kishimoto was stick to his manga development, I am sure SasuHina would be canon. He wouldn’t make those paralells just for nothing!
My certainty is based on some canon moments they have together. Here is my analysis:
1. When Sasuke defeated Yoroi in chuunin exams, Hinata seemed impressed. From there, Hinata has a good impression of Sasuke.
2. In Naruto’s movie “Bonds”, I saw them interact with each other. Hinata called, “Sasuke-kun?” and he replied with, “Urusai (shut up).” Yeah, that is not the reaction that I expected, but Sasuke was always rude to everyone so it doesn’t mean he hated Hinata. Because after that Sasuke helped Hinata’s ship by destroying the enemy coming for it. It means that Sasuke protected Hinata. Why did he help Hinata’s ship if he hated her? If anything, he should pay no mind, shouldn’t him?
Morever, Orochimoru noticed that Sasuke was a bit happier after that event. Why was he happier when he only met Naruto that has happened many times? He wasn’t always happier when meeting him, right? So maybe he was happier because he met Hinata? And Hinata called him “Sasuke-kun” so he is a friend to her.
3. In Naruto’s movie “Road to Ninja”, Sasuke clearly showed interest and had doki-doki moment with Hinata. Could it be the sign that he is interested in her in real world? Because Hinata is still interested in Menma (Naruto) in RTN just like in real world. Since both of them in real world are so similiar in traits, maybe his feelings towards her is genuine in real world?
4. In Naruto’s chapter 700, Sasuke is shown wander around. Why did he neglect his village without any importance? Maybe he couldn’t stand watching Hinata to be with Naruto and didn’t like being with Sakura? (I don’t think a kid as the proof of love because he could be drunk or it was simply one night stand. If he truly was in love, he wouldn’t be in journey)
5. Naruto’s movie, “The Last” can strenghten analysis number 4, because Sasuke didn’t attend Naruto’s wedding with Hinata just for the sake of going around the world without any purpose. That is very strange. Naruto is his number one bestfriend, who has brought him back from darkness, so why he couldn’t make just a little time to say “congratulations” in Naruto’s wedding? No need to stay for too long in the party, even just 5 minutes to shake hands is alright. Maybe because he couldn’t see the love of his life, Hinata, getting married to Naruto?
Hmm… yeah… yeah… maybe not everyone has interpretation like me, but I can’t just neglect those things! It looks like Kishimoto wanted to say, “sorry, actually I wanted SasuHina but under tight circumstances it couldn’t be, but don’t worry, I have prepared these subtle hints for you. Read between the lines!” Yes, I do, Kishimoto!
According to me, Sasuke always loves Hinata, but she only looked at Naruto that was why he never confessed to her. When he heard about her wedding with Naruto, his heart was broken but he couldn’t interfere because the groom was his bestfriend. So he excused himself from the wedding by pretending to travel around the world. But after that, he realized that he couldn’t come back to Konoha, knowing that he would see Hinata’s happy life with Naruto so he chose to wander around again. Sometimes he would go home just to see her face but never stayed too long.
Hell yeah, that perfectly makes sense to me and I don’t need anyone’s approval on this. Also, in my imagination, later, SasuHina will be reunited. So, years later, apparently Hinata’s marriage is failing and that is the time where Sasuke comes in. She realizes about Sasuke’s feelings as the time goes by and slowly fall for him. They divorce/separate with current partners and get married. Then they will have many kids together and at long last they can have their own happy ending (NaruSaku can be together too). That will be perfect to cover Naruto’s horrible ending, Kishimoto!
At least the idea to make AU movie with NaruSaku & SasuHina will be good. Not SasuKarin, because SasuHina is more popular than SasuKarin. You like to pair someone because of popularity, don’t you, Kishimoto?
I know there will be someone who won’t be happy with this post or this pairing, but at least SasuHina is healthy relationships, unlike SasuSaku with its brutal development. Sasuke never laid his finger towards Hinata. Added by their similarities and subtle hints above, they will be the best and sweetest couple in Naruto. Their relationships also make sense.
A SasuHina fan potrayed their marriage life with four kids (some of them are twins) and they are really cute. Here is the pic:
Their names are Shinsuke, Himawari, Satoru, and Hikari. Strangely enough, the name of one of Hinata’s child in canon is Himawari.
So yeah, whatever happened or said about this pairing in Naruto, I will forever ship SasuHina. It is sweet, healthy, and makes sense. It is a shame that Kishimoto could not realize the beauty of SasuHina. If he did, Naruto’s ending would be very much better.
