My Top 5 Canon/Could-Be Naruto Ships

Listen you fnckers I'm REALLY new to this fandom so I don't really know what's up with the beef in the Naruto fandom. I just know y'all are at each others' throats. So I'm going to give my true and honest opinion on the ships and why I ship/like them.

5. NaruHina (Naruto & Hinata)

These two are the cutest and purest ship I've ever seen. I started watching Naruto VERY late so I already knew a LOT of spoilers, including who Naruto gets with in the end. I started watching the show with some comments from my guy friends and my little cousin, all of them telling me this in a middle of a fanboy rant, that Naruto doesn't get with Sakura, but with someone else. So I started the series kinda miffed that he doesn't get with his teammate (it's a trope I love) but shipping isn't one of my make it or break it preferences so I watched it anyway. I immediately fell in love with Naruto's character. He reminded me of myself as a kid (though I wasn't as rambunctious nor dumb) and I admired his perseverence and his strength. Later, when Hinata was presented, I absolutely fell in love with her. She was an adorable little smol bean and I loved that she was the only one with a crush on Naruto from the beginning and not one of his fangirls. In the end, I was glad that she finally got the man of her dreams and I was so happy that she finally got some love. However, I do agree that Naruto's feelings just came to light overnight and they weren't really developed that well. I was slightly disappointed and I was hoping to see more love struck Naruto, but I'm overall happy with how it turned out.

4. SasuSaku (Sasuke & Sakura)

Listen, these two have such a complex love story and I LOVE it. In the beginning, oh God, I HATED Sakura. She was mumbling crud about Sasuke and being all needy and stuff, but throughout the course of the show, I started respecting her. In the whole Zabuza/Haku arc (that sh!t scarred me for life tbh) I was crying alongside her when Sasuke "died". Her tears were more than a stupid crush and I felt it. Granted, I also hated Sasuke in the beginning. His air of arrogance and his conceitedness was annoying to say the least. However, I only actually started to like him during the Chunin Exams, when he fought Orochimaru. Throughout the series, I noticed that although Sasuke was always "cold", he was actually still showing emotion in his own way and I started shipping it. The scene when he was going to leave the village was heart-breaking (though a little too drawled out) and I squealed when he thanked her before knocking her out. That right there confirmed to me that he was harboring feelings, even if he didn't like it. In the end, I loved how Sakura's love never wavered and Sasuke acknowledged her love for him and her strength as a kunoichi. Same with Naruhina,I wish I got to see more scenes of them together after the war, but we may still have a chance. Boruto might show us some flashbacks of the parents of the New Gen together.

3. JiraTsuna (Jiraiya & Tsunade)

I FNCKING LOVE THIS SONG! 😭 Jiraiya and Tsunade was such a sad "could-have-been" ship, you know? Jiraiya, a player kinda guy (who's a fncking perv), sets his sight on one girl when he was 12. He starts to train harder than ever when she comments on how she likes strong men like Orochimaru. He becomed a fncking SAGE to win her heart. He practically becomes her best friend because Orochimaru is too creepy for that and they become close. He's there for her when her brother dies. Dan comes along and she falls in love with him, leaving Jiraiya in the dust. Then Jiraiya chases after Orochimaru and Dan dies and then she leaves the village. He offers up Tsunade as the Hokage because he has faith in her and knows it'll be good for her. He brings Naruto because he knows that this boi will remind her of what her brother and Dan stood for. He carries a picture if her with him. Then they both meet up again and she's fncking depressed but Jiraiya believes in her and reminds her why the loves of her life died and she becomes Hokage. When Jiraiya leaves and both of them aren't sure if he'll make it back, she almost bawls. Tsunade, one of the strongest kunoichi ever, almost cries at the thought of losing Jiraiya. Then he fncking dies. THOSE FNCKING FLASHBACKS. I WASN'T READY TO SHIP IT AND I WAS BAWLING BECAUSE HE WAS SO CLOSE TO FINALLY GET THE GIRL HE WAS AIMING FOR BUT, YOU KNOW, PAIN HAD TO FNCKING KILL HIM. Their stlmory itself is enough shipling material. No debate there.

2. ItaIzu

THIS WAS THE LOVE ITACHI FNCKING DESERVED OMG. The moment I saw that Itachi saved her and she came back to thank him and to try to hold Sasuke, I fell in love with their dynamic (when I saw that she was also an Uchiha, I highkey freaked, but then I read that she's a distant cousin and barely one at that so I was all gucci later). I just...I LOVED how he was a quiet, polite, genius student in the Acadmey and she was just a really eccentric girl who was super nice and adorable. But THEN THE FNCKING COUP DE'TAT (idk if that's how you spell it but oh well) HAPPENED AND HE HAD TO KILL HER. OOF. I heard that in the manga, he put her under a tsukuyomi where they both live the rest of their lives together and die in the other's arms so that she can at least die in peace and I wasn't ready for that beautiful act of love and I almost burst in tears. (Glaring at SP for not animating it).

1. ObiRin (Obito & Rin)

They were so adorable! I couldn't handle it! OMGGGG❤ This was truly a tragic story. They had so many chances to be together, yet Rin was head over heels fir Kakashi and Obito was smitten with Rin. But it could've happened, you know? After the fight at the bridge, they could've gone home and Kakashi could have been the eingman he should have been when they were younger to get them together. Rin could have realized that her care for Obito was deeper than friendly protectiveness. Team 7 could have been the ultimate wing...kids? They could have had such a happy life of love. But Obito had to fncking almost die and get stuck under a pile of massive boulders and later go all psychotic when he sees Rin sacrifice herself for the village's sake. And the fact that he only joined Madara's infinited tsukuyomi plan was so he could build a world where Rin was alive and where he could have had the life he wanted other than the world he has now. Yes, he was insane, but I love that his motives were fueled by his thoughts of her. Also, the fact that Rin must have been so confused to see that Obito wasn't in the afterlife breaks my heart and tears me to pieces. Their reunion (and both of them helping Team 7 win even after death) just BROKE ME EVEN MORE. If I ever had the chance to make an alternate reality, it would be one where Obito and Rin were still alive and where they could live happily ever after.
