History DieForOurShip / Naruto

** [[FanOfUnderdog Hinata Hyūga]] is bashed a lot for liking Naruto or ([[ShippingGoggles according to some fans]]) [[KissingCousins her cousin Neji]]. There are several fics where Hinata finds out that Naruto has the Kyūbi trapped inside him and proceeds to hate or fear him, only to be slapped into shape by Sakura. (The idea was {{Jossed}} in Ch. 355-356, when she does not react when it is mentioned around her.) There is also the hate she receives for her characterization as a ShrinkingViolet with such fans saying that "[[RealWomenNeverWearDresses she is too weak and shy and does not deserve Naruto]]". Naruto/Hinata and Naruto/Sakura pairing wars get ugly; it is always assumed that Naruto/Hinata fans bash Sakura (a majority of them do not), and Naruto/Sakura fans bash Hinata (again, a majority of them do not).

** An even more extreme case than Sakura's is [[DarkChick Karin]], Sasuke's new teammate, who gets bashed from both [=SasuSaku=] ''and'' [[SlashFic SasuNaru]] fans, although the former are more virulent about it. Fans often make Karin into an [[ReallyGetsAround oversexed nympho with constantly opened legs]] (when she is [[SingleTargetSexuality almost the exact opposite]]) who tries so hard to ''"steal Sasuke from his rightful lover Sakura and/or Naruto"'', especially if the fic's setting is [[HighSchoolAU High School.]] True, Karin's infatuation with Sasuke ''was'' [[StalkerWithACrush unhealthy and obsessive]] -- However, the shippers' attitude towards her still carries a whiff of this trope, since they ignore that most of her antics are PlayedForLaughs and as more of a character flaw than a marker of being "a bad person", that Sasuke ''knew'' about all this when he recruited her for his team, and that beyond this she does ''genuinely'' care for him.

** ''Sasuke'' himself gets in on the bashing in Chapter 693, when [[spoiler:he KO's Sakura with a genjutsu of him stabbing her, then asks Kakashi and Naruto if they really believe he should indulge himself in romance with her after all that has happened, stating he sees no reason for Sakura to love him or he her]].

** The Sasuke/Sakura pairing actually comes under fire quite often even from people with ''no'' shipping agenda of their own for ''either'' character, simply on the grounds that the pair of them have absolutely no chemistry together whatsoever and Kishimoto writes Sasuke as a completely unlikable douche, making Sakura look genuinely stupid and immature for remaining so hung up on him. The aforementioned Chapter 693 scene and the fact that [[spoiler:in the post-series story he seems to be a ''horrifically'' neglectful and uncaring husband and father]] almost seems like an in-universe acknowledgement of this line of thinking, which runs roughly "we do not care who Sakura ends up with, but we simply refuse to believe Sasuke is capable of forming a meaningful relationship with ''anyone."''
** ''Boruto'' and ''Naruto Gaiden'' made the Sasuke bashing even popular amongst former Sasuke/Sakura fans, who ditched the ship after it was revealed that [[spoiler:they have not seen each other in at least 7 years (due to Sasuke being on a mission) and Sakura does not even know basic facts about Sasuke]]. There are numerous stories where his wife splits up with him, usually for Naruto or Kakashi, because she "deserves better" than him.

** ''Sasuke'' himself gets in on the bashing in Chapter 693, when [[spoiler:he KO's Sakura with a genjutsu of him stabbing her, then coldly sneers at her for "having fun daydreaming about love" when he does not have any reason to love her and has no idea why she fell in love with him to begin with]].

** Hinata bashing has gone UpToEleven ever since [[spoiler:the manga came to an end and the last chapter was a BabiesEverAfter DistantFinale that depicts Naruto married to Hinata with two children.]]

** When ''Manga/{{Boruto}}'' franchise kicked, the hatred for Karin ramped UpToEleven. Why? See below for more but [[spoiler:there was a canon discrepancy about who is Sasuke's daughter's actual mother, until it turned out to be a RedHerring misunderstanding]]. And when we though Karin might be RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap, she was thrown right back into it, with fans wishing to see her crucified and burnt alive [[spoiler:despite giving up on Sasuke years ago and becoming Sakura's friend]].

** Sasuke gets this sometimes, too, which is only natural given what a BaseBreakingCharacter he is - it is not too hard to find people that do not want him anywhere near their preferred girl/couple. This is mostly [=NaruSaku=] shippers - which gives them an opportunity to have Sakura realise how much better Naruto would be as a partner (at least when they do not exaggerate it)--which actually makes [[ShipSinking what happened with Naruto and Sakura in Chapter 469]] HilariousInHindsight--but some others who are protective of their favourite characters take extra care Sasuke will not dare interfere. Fact is, though, in FanFiction it is actually not that hard to take Sasuke's negative traits UpToEleven with a little work, making him a villain handily enough ''without'' making him unrecognizable. Sasuke gets turned into a far more horrid individual in so many fanfictions that its rare to find one where he is not a complete monster.

* Chapter 700 revealed the {{Official Couple}}s to be [[spoiler: Naruto and Hinata with a son (Boruto) and a daughter (Himawari), Sasuke and Sakura with a daughter (Sarada), Shikamaru and Temari with a son (Shikadai), Sai and Ino with a son (Inojin), and [[ShipsthatPassInTheNight Chōji and Karui]] with a daughter (Chōchō).]] '''[[UpToEleven You can imagine how certain fans took THAT]]'''. Apparently those same fans actually wanted the manga '''banned''' in the U.S. because their pairing was not made {{canon}} and demanded that Kishimoto make an alternate ending with their favorite ship canon. [[http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/naruto-banned-in-usa See here]]. Note the grammatical and spelling errors in the demands made with the petition; it may even be a troll one... one hopes. There is this website aptly named [[http://imgur.com/a/XKwJ4 Hall of Anal Devastation]]. As you might have guessed, it contains all the rage from the [=NaruSaku=] shippers.

** Sakura Haruno gets it the worst, having the dual misfortune of being a girl that hangs around [[SlashFic boys shipped together]] (Naruto/Sasuke) ''and'' standing in the way of the major FanPreferredCouple (Naruto/Hinata). It did not help that for the first half of Naruto, she was a ClingyJealousGirl to Sasuke.

* Izumi Uchiha, despite only appearing a few times, raised the ire of Itachi/Shisui, [[IncestYayShipping Itachi/Sasuke]] and more or less Itachi/Anyone shippers because she had the audacity to be in love with Itachi and he is implied to have felt the same way.

* With next generation pairings we have Sumire who gets hate from Boruto/Sarada fans due to '''[[LikeParentLikeSpouse somewhat resembling Hinata]]'''; [[spoiler:It also turns out that while still looking somewhat similar to Hinata, Sumire was only ''pretending'' to have a shy personality like Hinata did in her youth.]]
