Throughout NarutoNaruto's growing relationship with Hinata has been a widely discussed topic among fans. In Chapter 437, Hinata finally forced herself to admit her true feelings when Naruto was at the mercy of Pain.
Although we never heard Naruto's response after this arc, or if he felt the same, his attitude towards her changed somewhat as he grew to respect and rely on her more. In the final chapter, it is revealed in a time jump that they are both married and have two children, Himawari and Bolt (pronounced and commonly referred to as Boruto). Plus, Hinata is finally shown to be living a peaceful and calm life, and Naruto finally achieves his goal of becoming Hokage.
Children's love
One factor in Hinata's relationship with Naruto was how much she respected him. In an anime-exclusive flashback during episode 166 Naruto ShippudenHinata is bullied by a group of kids, forcing her to apologize for accidentally bumping into them. It is then, at that time, that Naruto comes to her rescue and decides to fight them even though he is alone.
His determination to do the right thing, even if it means sticking around, is something special – and Hinata noticed it herself. Over time, she looked to him as an inspiration to believe in herself and achieve her own strength. While Naruto was heavily mocked by his peers, Hinata cheered him on from the sidelines. Naruto on the other hand undoubtedly cared about Hinata, but was oblivious to her feelings.
Humble girl boss
Hinata always presented a challenge to those she fought, so she was always strong in her own right. But come episode 166, she decides to repay the favor Naruto did for her all those years ago, even though she knew she wasn't strong enough. At that time, he finally confesses his feelings and an intense fight begins between Hinata and Pain. Although she is able to shed some of Naruto's restraints, she loses the battle, but not without an iconic display of her newfound power.
Shortly after Neji's death in episode 364 ShippudenDespite the loss, Hinata's words of encouragement were able to get Naruto back on his feet. A common meme in Naruto fandom, is his ability to use “talk-no-jutsu”, referring to how his pep talks tend to talk to his opponent. In Hinata's case, he also uses “talk-no-jutsu”, which moves Naruto, a “master” at it.
The last straw
IN Last: The Naruto moviewhich serves as the final film for Naruto franchise, the relationship between the two is further explored and expanded upon. When a group of shinobi go on a mission, Hinata is kidnapped while on the job and is forced to become the enemy's bride. However, it is at this time that Naruto realizes his true feelings for her in her absence. After an intense rescue mission and reunion, a scene takes place where they relive all their shared memories before the film ends with a passionate kiss. There was no doubt that despite her reclusiveness, Naruto loved her for who she was.
